Date: 26/02/25 #tablenotes 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
