Drunken rat, blindspot
Reggie is on the landing, rest in the room we hired.
[[Black Knight]] walks into tavern and sits for a while, keeping a eye out
[[Leira]] playing
People exchanging money and letters
Reggie walks back into the room to report back
Romans letter is “someone wanting him to kill someone”
Roman steals money from rich balls
No longer invited to parties
Need to go to temple to burn some documents
Come out the room in a conga line
I point out the letter boy to Roman
Busy tavern
[[Black Knight]] standing near the bar, looking around
[[Leira]] “The Great Sylvie Velora” banner above her
Roman breaks the conga line to talk to mailboy
Sebastian - average looking with ugly (not hot) scars
He works for someone - knows Romans name
Roman threatens Sebastian
[[Black Knight]] puts hand on weapon
Sebastian works for the same man who made Roman run - blond guy
WHO IS BLOND GUY
Menzogna - Roman’s last name
The letter was asked to be delivered by Corr - is it the same Corr [[Edward Corr]] ?? Could be brother or son? Is Corr dead?
[[Black Knight]] armour doesn’t look matched or made for him
[[Leira]] is looking at us
Talk to bartender [[David-John]]
This place is tidier than the other [[Drunken Rat Tavern]]
[[Black Knight]] is [[Umbriel Bane]]
The armour is a holdover from the war
He’s worn his helmet for a long time and keeps to himself
Tall guy, black hair (had it neatly shaved during the war or combed back)
He didn’t fight during the war, he stayed in the capital to keep the peace
“Human of impressive size”
[[Leira]] - Sylvie is frequent performer, does go often on trips
She likes Daisies and Gilly flowers
Ruby created the [[Cheese]] with magic
Let’s play 2 truths, 1 lie
Reggie first, reveals about posh family and being banned at pubs for fighting
Ronnie:
Never used healing magic - father is against healing magic, makes healing potions from herbs. He worked with [[Boldrick Woldgut]]
Earth mother has spoken in dream - lie
First time shot bow, shot up and it landed on foot
Roman:
Gate crash a lot of parties - do what you gotta do to survive
Scar on lip from insulting someone’s partner
Can play the piano - lie
Ruby:
Family used to go to a lot of fancy parties, during one, accidentally killed some people - magic surge
Come from a farm - LIE
Did polymorph a living being into [[Cheese]] - truth, happened with a magic surge. Wont say who
[[Leira]]’s music stops and walks off stage to sit at bar
Ronnie walks to her and makes a flower for her - bunch of daisies
“Quite a strong grip for a old man” [[Leira]] talking about Garik
Portal went to basement around here - spelt really bad
[[Leira]] is a actor
Boat was purely professional
“The Great [[Sylvie Velora]]” doesn’t use it anymore but hopes to return to it. Obligations and past promises
Leira is using the name, not real name
Leira - means goddess of lies
Chose the name out of obligation to the goddess - worships her and knows the main disciples
The cult of Leira was working during the war. Earth mother temple had conflict with Leira cult. After war, no mentions of the cult anymore
Used to call themself [[Collective of the Forgotten Arts]]
“I doubt she’s aware of much”
Sacrifice name in order to serve your god
Goddess Leira - Leira was sealed away - needs to be unshackled
Cult was wipes out by Earth Mother people
Her necklace is a key - a key to unshackle her
Not far off
Still a few people who follow her
Corr is taking Garik to a old military fort used by Royals
Key is one of three, three keys, three locks, three disciples
Need to know what happened to other two
[[Leira]] - The actor
[[Leonid]] - the warrior - follow and gave orders - in it just for the wealth
[[Arthur]] - the Scholar
= [[Quest]] =
“We will find out what happened to him”
If we find the two keys, she will tell us about Gorik
[[Leonid]] was a fool who was a conman beforehand, people may’ve heard of him or he’s been arrested
[[Arthur]] - Unsure where he is - he was the wise one - didn’t want money - wants secrets and knowledge. Likely doesn’t go by that name anymore
She has more info if we complete this.
[[Black Knight]] goes upstairs
Ruby goes invisible to follow him
He goes past the guards to the third floor
She sneakily follows him through the door
He goes further into a side room - small office with desk and documents
Stands in the doorway - he knows Ruby is there
Feminine voice - you have 5 seconds to explain
Ruby panics and takes glove off
Bright light - rejuvenated
If you die within a min you will come to back to life
He sits at desk and takes off helmet - Ruby see the face
“For all you need to know, I am Bane”
“Give me a reason I shouldn’t kill you”
Ruby work for [[Boldrick Woldgut]] and he wants us to talk to [[Umbriel Bane]]
Goes into another room, more messy
Large desk in middle - on wall, frame that is empty
Someone else in room
Tall man with long black hair - The REAL [[Umbriel Bane]] who we saw outside Cassiels office with the Black Knight
Bane is leader of the False Watch
You need to use violence to control bandits
The knight is for intimidation around the town
Bane doesn’t have time to patrol, so use someone else
He doesn’t want to help the city again. Last time he protected the town, the city would destroy the town for their own profit, doesn’t like [[Cassiel Zurith]]
Started as a gang, became a militia
He takes in the homeless and wounded to join his team
[[Ataron Zurith]] is the good one
Zurith is taxing Blindspot to take it over again
Bane comes downstairs and asks us to come upstairs with Ruby
[[Hernet]] - is [[Black Knight]]
The answer to [[Boldrick Woldgut]] is no - the royalty sucks
= [[Quest]] =
We should convince [[Cassiel Zurith]] to respect his fathers royal agreement with the [[Blindspot]]
We are free to leave
[[Ataron Zurith]] has left the Blindspot alone
Cassiel needs to too.
Bane will lead the town, happy to use violence to achieve peace
The frame used to have a medal but it was thrown back to Cassiel
Stood for protecting the town during the war
[[Hernet]] is asked to leave
1 more thing we can help with:
Cassiel is rumoured to be spreading rumours about [[Umbriel Bane]]
Most potions are from official sources
Unregulated sources of potions have been increasing
Cassiel is blaming Bane for this
[[Umbriel Bane]] is not aware of [[Hernet]] transporting potions around
She was in the armour when trading potions
Bane is unhappy about this
= [[Quest]] =
Investigate [[Hernet]] and find out about the potions
Only Bane and Hernet have worn the armour
Is [[Hernet]] sent from Cassiel
We are getting 4 free horses
Stable boy - Martin
BEDTIME
4 rooms- all small and unassuming
Long Rest
I see a rat - and give it some food
[[Remus]] - the rat
Roman starts looking through my stuff to find my journal!
He reads the entries out loud, and its revealed that Reginald has a crush on Ronnie
Ruby gives a inspiring “roar” speech
+8 Temp HP
Leave Drunken Rat
Begin out journey to the holy temple
As we get closer we feel trembling and loud rumbling
In distance behind, a convoy of carts going fast
Order:
2 guards on horses
Fancy carrage
2 guards on horses
We have to dodge them on the path
They see us and stop behind us
Door of carriage opens
Someone - long robes, long hair
Saw them once at the palace, lurking
[[Magnus Fernsoar]] - the court wizard
Has heard of us
Ruby had ran away with Henris
Magnus invited us all into the carriage
Ruby and Ronnie go in
[[Henris]] Left something important in his workshop
He found an envelope addressed to Ruby
He gives it to her
The letter is plain
Reggie casts Detect Magic - very magic letter
Maybe the letter is connected to Ruby’s wild magic
She takes off gloves and her runes is more bright than ever
The letter transforms with words on it
Henris saw [[Ruby]]’s magic and knew it could be used for good
Saw her being at the front of magical research, wanted to research Ruby
Wanted to help Ruby by giving her control of her scary magic
Reason of the letter: Investiatoon into magic, found a breakthrough. The magic is infinite, forge with the realm of the Faewild. Cannot be controlled or tamed
The key with the letter leads to his workshop - what key?
Leads to the closest cure, prototype
“His body” your brother. Speak his name within the chamber
The magic has had adverse effects on Henris
Magnus rips letter away and is rude to Ruby, apparently he has no key.
Ruby argues with Magnus. He does have the key
She casts attack at Magnus
Unleashed a bolt and it misses him
Magnus casts
Ronnie feels mental energy
We are all blinded and then standing outside - scattered
Try to use earthbind on horses - fail
CHANGE EARTHBIND SPELL
