Shademurk: Unwinding

Session: Sorval / Iskren / Taurio / Rollo / Vultha

Xivaskir 10

When you look up at the Onyx Fang, you know that you are protected. - Iskren

After a long long long day, the party retires to the Wicker Goat, to enjoy some classy r&r (though mainly booze).
Sorval buys a lot of drinks for his (sudden) fans, including a cask of fine ale for his friends. Keying in on the currents that surround the Boros cleric, Iskren suggests a more solid partnership. A set of rings, a matching pair, in order to keep their strength up in battle. Sorval, seeing potential in it, eventually sets the money aside to have them crafted.
As this deal is done, Iskren announces that they will make a speech. Vultha quickly crafts a bone whistle for Rollo to draw the crowd's attention, which subsequently happens.
With the eyes on their table, Iskren makes a rousing speech with notes of potential equality, duty and brotherhood. Praising Sorval and Taurio, Iskren shifts the story to Eda and her inefficient leadership which leads to problems that are solved by the party.
This draws the attention of Eliander Fireborn, who mentions the dissolution of the mercenary Kraul force, the potential dangers of a 'tenth' and that politics are dangerous as a field of employ.
Rollo wins a game of dice against a faerie.
After a while, the party calls it a night, Taurio falls to the ground floor, Iskren retires to the Green Apricot, the Empty Net hosts Rollo and Vultha and the Boros head to their new rooms in the barracks.
As Sorval falls asleep, he has a vision of a shining lady that calls to him, speaking of a great evil threatening her world.

Xivaskir 11-17

The next day, the party splits up a little to investigate their own leads, look into improving themselves and get some feel for the city of Shademurk proper.

Iskren goes to Trevis'di's jewelshop in order to craft the rings. Trevis'di gives an extensive course on metalworking and jewelcraft to Iskren.
During their time off, they spread some more rumours amongst the population and generally tries to boost Sorval as a poster boy for model citizen/hero.

Sorval inspects the Boros library, has many meetings with Lisanne for materials, works the forge a bit in the barracks, searches out whatever intel he can get on Ulgrotha and Serra (the lady of radiance) and runs the beat in town in order to get a grasp of locations and people.

Vultha seeks out some crew for the airship, finding Eebo and Gazro (goblin brothers) and Bilge (human) in places most humid with ale. In addition, he goes to Winston's Hunting Lodge and learns some tricks of the trade from a lizardfolk known as Scaledraft in exchange for a beautifully crafted spear.

Taurio just brews stuff. All the stuff. And also kefir. And with the Boros people nearby, he finds a lot of willing tasters. Before long, they spread the word around and the Wicker Goat gets involved (through Lisanne) and some coin flows to the minotaur.

Rollo goes to the carpenter's hall in order to get some crafting materials and bunkers down to perfect his craft.
