Seon Adventures Episode 11: “ The Shopping Trip (FROM HELL!!!) ”

We continue right where we left off (with a slight retcon, to where Luctan and Mournimar had given Burk directions to a fight club, should he find the time.)

As the tieflings (one in human disguise, naturally), walk about to find the  Abbacus Walk library, they notice  there’s a lot of variety in the races in Sa Doma (It would appear that the closer they get to Crystalgate, the more variation there is). On the South side of town, the usual combo is Humans, Half-Elves and Halflings, with a variety of giant folk and lizard people as they pass along.

While they pass the entrance from which they came, they get weird looks from the two red tiefling guards, that Luctan had taken notice of earlier, but nothing really dings for either side as the boys make a slight detour to the “Queen Nightingale” tavern.

A family establishment, in both senses of the word as adults and hang around, sit around and play around, with a muscular half-elven server giving some entertainment to the kids.

While a little tiefling girl and a goliath boy play tag around them, Luctan overhears and snoops in on a family unit of half-elves, who are in talks with the barkeep, whom we later learn is Medive (or s we figured already, since Gorruk did point it out). The family are to make a trip to Crystalgate in the next couple of months. One they usually  make for a year’s time.

Luctan manages to play things cool as he falls onto the male elf, only getting a slight chiding to lay off the drinking, while Mournimar talks acquaintances with Medive and elaborates on how Gorruck is doing. “A friend of Gorruk is a friend of mine.” Medive says as he continues to give us some advice on Sa Doma.

Things we had already heard from Ficus, mostly.

What we don’t know, but now learn, is that Medive is a married man, husband to the half-elven yolked fellow named Rufus.

Luctan and Mournimar are given advice to stay away from the taverns in the Southern part of the city, as that is where trouble lies (REMEMBER THIS FOR LATER!), but should they look for work, as they appear the adventuring sort, they could speak with the Lawmaster there, as they usually have work that the Dark’sbane army would vehimetly refuse to partake in.

What’s more, the priestes of Bellinas has been having trouble lately,s what they learn.

With nothing else to add to the conversation, the boys decide to take a seat and eat some fine meats and drink some fine drinks (whiskey and brandy respectively).

While the boys nom, we cut to Belli and Ficus, who are on their way to the temple of Keemis, Goddess of Birth and Death, with Ficus having re-disguised himself as a human man.

Before long they would arrive at the temple of Keemis. It seems to be a lot more simplistic in design, compared to others. The symbol of a snake eating it’s own tail on it.  Belli points “Hey, look! It’s like what Fantasy Marylin Manson tried to do.”  Belli does not approve of the minimalism. Hoards and shinys, do.

Going inside, the duo meet up with Kit, presenting herself as her usual changeling self, and a purple tiefling man named Rosef, a friend of the two rogues and, as it has been set up from last session, a drug dealer.

What follows is a introduction for and to Belli, before the trio aquire Summershade for themselves. A type of experimental batch. How experimental? This is the second batch, basically. (Belli ain’t no pussy. She wants that good shit.)

Before the three leave together, they talk of the gods. “Keemis will take us when our time is right. Why not enjoy ourselves until then, you follow?!”Rosef states. And absolutely doesn’t believe Belli when she claims they met Dyunificus (or a representation of him at least).

As the three make their leave to do the drugs, some Beli/Kit flirting happening in the process, we cut to Burk, who gets a room for himself and Rimefang, where he tries to hold a conversation with his baby boy, whomst he has adopted.

Sadly, he can’t understand draconic and Rimefang becomes visually perplexed (MAYBE EVEN SAD?!) that his Goblin dad doesn’t get his lingo. It doesn’t take Burk long to go and look for a translator, lucking out with a Lizardfolk man, whom helps him with some mediating with Rimefang. So far he’s called Burk “Dad” in Draconic.

And advice to help the little one learn common.

And so comes the time for Rimefang’s first word in Common.

“Kill.” Burk is a froud FÄTHER.

Returning back to their room,  Burk gives bedtime stories for Rimefang. “And then everyone died.”Rimefang is picking up random words. He calls Burk “Dad”.

Back with the tieflings, they leave the tavern after a hearty meal and double pistols and a wink. And make their way to the place they were originally planning on going. 

Luctan talks with a prostitute along the way, having noticed that she seemed quite miserable. But his kind gesture only earns him smoke, from her cigarette, to the face.

Luctan retaliates, by leaving and using thaumaturgy to make a loud crashing noise inside the establishment she works off from. Though she doesn’t go in.

They eventually reach the Library Tavern, where the atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming. A magical fire heats the building’s insides from the fireplace as the two take note of all the shelves. It’s actually kind of wild how many books are in here.

Each tiefling checks for a book that would interest them. Mournimar finds his quarry imediatelly, a book on the constellations. A guide with many pictures, and takes to a sofa,to do some reading.

Meanwhile, Luctan gets his hands on a book by some weirdo named “Taryon Darrington” and immediatelly doesn’t believe the guy’s legit in his writings. This all seems frankly made up. Really?! A Kraken?!

Instead, he continues with his search and then gets something that really catches his eye. The book “ Haanderstaad “,  Scribed by “Gillan Monroe and written by Kheya Steelheart, a brave dwarven woman and adventurer in her own right.

It writes about the misdeeds of a clan of bandids. Mountainspine” is the clan. Referred to often as simply... The Spine.  - A Tribe of Dwarven bandits from about 10 years back and how they would take advantage of the effort of war to increase their raids. It told of how they’d get more powerful, the trials and tribulations of living this lifestyle and the lessons one could take from it.

Taken interest, the two proceed to buy these two books from a very strong, elderly Goblin woman, whom Mournimar is just aghast by, but Luctan is just completely giddy over.

With a transaction made, the two proceed to Peppery Pete’s.

All the while, Amelia keeps on snoozoing. Good times.

Back with the trio, they eventually reach Ficus’ hideout after much walking and flirtations with orcish fellows.

There, they do drugs and it basically plays off like every video of a bunch of cats on catnip. Lots of face touching and poking and drawing dicks on Ficus face. So many dicks. So many.

So. Many.

That and Ficus drinks a potion, which makes his veins glow a bright blue. Which Belli adds to with the Dancing Lights, basically creating a mini-rave inside of this safe house, where talks of waifus and whatnot occurs.

There was cake at some point in their backstory. It was wild. Ficus is sometimes so proud.

As the girls go outside, we cut back to Luctan and Mournimar, who manage to score a Bag of Colding from Peppery Pete’s, along with a business arrangement to represent him and his wares during the Festival in less than two months in Crystalgate. Some pricess lowered, naturally. There is also talk of magical items and enchantments to be applied, if possible.

The boys get some information on the tournament. Some that they knew, about the accidents that may happen,and some that they didn’t, that every faction on the continent gets represented during the tournament. Usually by teams of 4-5 members.

As the conversation draws to an end, they get more information on the priestess of Bellinas’ woes. There’ve been disappearances happening lately and Potencia worship has been occuring more often than not.

That said, the boys make their leave from Peter’s and proceed to gather the rest of the party, having decided to investigate these happenings.

Amelia, with a killer hangover, joins them and they soon collect Burk and Rimefang. Together, the six (Amelia, Burk, Luctan, Morgan, Mournimar and Rimefang) get to Keemis’ temple and speak with the high as a kite Rosef, explaining their search and want to involve themselves in the drama involving Potencia’s worshippers.

Rosef sighs, elaborating that he doesn’t involve himself with other deities, beyond his own. They eventually leave and carry on Northward, searching for the next 1-2-3-4 hours (and that’s with a roll of 19! Seriously, the tiefling boys were pretty on their game this day with same rolls).

They eventually find Belli, alongside a disguised Kit. Whom appears to them as a pink tiefling (the ribbon tied to her right horn). They are writing weird symbols on the wall of the temple of Honos.  Belli’s high af. And neither of the ravenhaired boys notice it.

They try to bring Belli along, back to the taver, having realized they’d have to update everyone in the morning. With a 19 roll, Lucky Luck Luckily picks up Belli over his shoulder and does the carrying, while getting “pounded by mighty fists” on the back. Ah, sibling shenans.

Everyone gets rooms!

Burk and Rimefang share a bed, as they are small sized, Amelia takes a room for herself with a double bed, getting all that room to sleep in and the remaining four take a third room, where Morgan guards the door, while Belli sleeps on top of the tieflings, while Luctan does some reading (as best he can).

Belli has completed her quest! (Full Steamer Ahead).

The following day, they are woken early on by the quaking of the ground (Luctan gets blamed, since he did do an earth shake on the way back, passing by the prostitute’s establishment).

His innocence is soon established as the bunch exit the building, seeing a pillar of smoke rise to the sky from far away. History tells Belli, Burk and Mournimar that this is from a volcano, which hasn’t errupted in 2,000 years!

Having updated each other on the Potencia activity and thinking it connected somehow (*cough, it’s not, as our Dm stated later on, since this was related to the ball from sessions 7-8) and the party takes off to the temple of Bellinas, where a motherly human woman in sleepwear stands outside, tired and slightly graying. 

The Priestess with a very elaborate facial scar, introduces herself as Nash and we, in turn, introduce ourselves by names and party. (Apt, as this Side-Quest is called “Who you gonna call?!” She looks confused as Belli introduces herself, seeing as she shares a name with Nash’s Godess). We learn more of the disappearances. Details, such as places of vanishment and common patters, like the drunk, the lonely, those who wouldn’t be missed. The usual victims, basically.

She, Nash, radiates that Big Mom energy and (I can say this as Luctan’s player at least, Luctan feels a great urge to help her, regardless. He is the momma’s boy of the party. It’s him.) is a bonafide doo-gooder. Gosh darn heck it!

We agree to help, having experience with taking down cults (Word travels fast, even in a low tech world as this) and Nash is impressed. With all possible details that we can think of being covered, The party sets off to the Southern part of town.

(TOLD YOUUUU!)

We find ourselves in one of the locations that Nash gave us, that of the  The Scared Heart tavern. A fucking dingy place, where we pass by a smiling troll man (nice guy, totes), before entering. Inside, we speak with the barkeep, regarding the missing man, who had been working here. And we pay him, a Golliath, 10 gold to make a quick investigation.

Burk does good with a roll of perception, recognizing someone.

One of his three targets. A red tiefling with blue hair, a dagger at his side. One, whom recognized Burk’s armor the moment he had entered and had looked away. Possibly, thanks to Mournimar speaking with him and the man’s rude response, it’s when it clicked for Burk. The man, who killed his cousin Sam.

As the quartet  make their way up the stairs, Burk hands Rimefang to Amelia, while he approaches the devil man, sweating buckets at the mere presence of the scarred Gorbarian (I WILL MAKE THIS A THING, DAGNABBIT!)

Burk confronts the man. And bluffs that he wants to hire him for a job, asking him what his opinion was of goblins. “Feral, violent things.”

Burk corrects the man that most goblins aren’t violent. Except himself. 

He rages.

And he lops off the deep red tiefling’s arm, spraying the room with plenty of blood.

He soon knocks the slayer of his kin out and bribes the Golliath with all the gold he has, to keep him quiet. As this is the shadiest part of town, it works. He takes a room, where he plans to spend some quallity time with his victim, while Amelia is urged by the Golliath to collect water and clean up the mess Burk made.

Rimefang at her side, having to be held back by Amelia as Burk takes the unnamed tiefling away.

Upstairs the four go and investigate for any clues, but beyond the symbol of Potencia, we don’t find anything of note, sadly. Deciding to move on with a different location, nearby, they ask Amelia to avoid drinking, so as not to make herself a target, while she waves at them with the lopped off arm of the tiefling. (It’s been a day, man. It’s been a daaaay.)

From the second location, Mournimar gets a familiar feeling and theorises that Lazarus is involved here... But as it were, he can’t be sure. Outside the building we find a trail of blood and footsteps in the dirt and with Morgan’s experr snoofer, we reach the back of a tavern, called “The Venomous Row.”

The backdoor is closed, locked even. 

Some planning occurs and, with 20 minutes of Pass Without a Trace to spare, the trio collect the rest of the party, but Burk and go back to the backdoor of the tavern.

Ficus opens the door with a Knock Spell and inside we investigate the stench coming off of the barrels...

Much to our shock, we find a body, in rigor mortis, cut apart in one of those barrels. The target, based on his condition, we deduce that he was very much alive, while he was being destroyed. The torture lasting for days, before the man passed.

With a 21 history check, Mournimar recognizes the handy work and remembers the person, whom would have done this.

Not Lazarus.

But Kah’lia Da’vir. Mournimar’s very much living mother.

The boy is in panic and is comforted by Belli and Luctan, who keep him safe and sane in this trying time.

The lot agree to collect Burk and take their findings to the Lawmaster. (Along the way,  Amelia wiggles her brows, when Belli mentions that Amelia could yeet Mournimar out of a window, while they make plans on how to proceed ahead).

With a clean Burk at their side, they visit the Lawmaster’s building, but are forced to partake in the buroacracy of talking to fucking Stacy. The Half-Drow secretary, who keeps talking about appointments and shit.

This leads them to nowhere. Not even Amelia exhuding that Big Lesbian Energy can help them. Stacy is such a Stacy.

With their attempts not working out, Luctan decides to take the reins of the situation and heads off, followed by a determined Mournimar. Everyone goes along as they draw close to the tavern, before Luctan nods for Mournimar to follow him in a back alley.

Luctan takes his ring off and hands it to Mournimar. In case they find MarMar’s mother inside they’d need time to prepare if they have an all out battle with the cultists of Potencia...

Mournimar takes the ring, puts it on and takes the form of “Michael Moonglow”, aka. “Mike”.

Walking out, Ficus is, to say the least, very impressed with Luctan’s true form. Luctan appreciates this.

This settled, the bunch take to “The Venomous Row”’s front entrance, going in. All of us. All Nine of us. With Morgan and Rimefang. (In hindsight, we should have had a few folks come in from the front and a few from the back, but aah, emotions were on high and Wisdom is in low supply).

Taking to a table, Luctan can tell that at least five people have their eyes on the Cultbusters:  Two bartender women, two patrons sitting at a table with another person (at another angle), a man sitting next to a male bartender and a man sitting next to a fireplace. And shares with the gang.

There is a backroom, on the other side of the bar and Belli sends her familiar, in fly form, to investigate.

There, he finds a ravenhaired woman and a man, who is writing down something.  As this is happening, Luctan manages to bluff, with some play acting and good rolling, that Belli has passed out from going on a pub crawl.

Buggy (as I will refer to the familiar, until Jes gives them a name) flies around and Belli sees markings in a language she doesn’t know, on the book. As well as Potencia’s symbol. 

As a person goes inside, Luctan whispers to Belli, who snaps back out of things, to cast sleep on as many people as possible.

And the session ends here (And out of character knowledge, we learn that there are guards outside the establishment).

OCtober Day 2 - Fashions

Saeri is a clotheshorse. She has a multitude of different sets of armor, different casual clothing, different formal clothing. But there's certain themes that stay the same. Her armor is always top-of-the-line leather, and if it isn't black, then it's probably in the colors of the organization she's working most closely with at the time - such as red, gold, and purple when she was working with the Sunreavers. She tends to favor half-sleeve or sleeveless chestpieces and either elbow-length gloves, or gloves that don’t go far past the back of the hand paired with long bracers. Her boots tend to be heavier than most rogues favor, over tight leather or heavy cloth leggings, often with additional leather plating over the thighs. For casual wear, she sticks to loose/oversized tunics and shirts in a variety of jewel tones, tight pants, and high boots. When she has to attend a more formal event, she'll either wear a dress uniform from the organization she is supporting at the event, or long, flowing, sin'dorei-style gowns - usually in some shade of green or grey. Jewelry is as varied as clothing, ranging from plain steel or gold studs to hold her piercings open while she's traveling or fighting, to elaborate chains and hoops and gems at formal events with matching, expensive bracelets and necklaces, often multiples so that they chime together.

Drigga is the consummate orc when it comes to armor - the heavier plate and leather and fur she can find, the better. She has far fewer sets than Saeri, however, and almost exclusively uses a set of heavy black plate with dark brown leather strapping, the helm of which has a bright red fur crest. Her casual clothes are oddly similar to Saeri's in cut and style - especially after they become friends - except she limits herself to undyed fabrics or grey to black clothing. Her only sets of formalwear are her Orgrimmar captain's dress armor and one ankle-length, black halter dress that Saeri has forced her to keep.

Gorruk didn't have many options, being Mag'har, but he worked with what he had. He stitched intricate designs into the fabric of his casual pants (he never really wore shirts) and made a habit of collecting small objects such as shells, teeth, bones, and gems to string together into necklaces or work onto his leather armor. He had two sets of armor - one just leather leggings, wide bracers, and a chest harness for his weapons (all decorated heavily) and the other more involved, with scales worked onto the leather as a form of mail, full gloves, a wide, protective belt, and a hood.

Seon Adventures Episode 10: “Family and Friends and Fond Farewells.”

Soooo, stuff happened last session, huh?

Coming right back from the heartwarming moment, of a group hug and concilatory pat, the party now must dispose of the elf wizard, Felaern Krissel,’s charred remains.

After a quick round up discussion, they come to the conclusion of weighing the body down into a nearby bog. Really, planning it out takes much longer than actually doing it.

With Luctan gearing himself up again and disguising himself, Belli has to wonder how the ring actually works, since once he puts it back on, he returns to the shaven human look , no peachfuzz on his face, no nothing. From what Luctan could guess, there is a specific recorded charm to it, but he is no magical expert, so he cannot be so sure.

They decide to leave town. But not at once. They first must make some appearances, look around, ask for a possible job opening or something. Look as little suspicious as they can.

Returning to Victrum, part of the party goes back to the Silver Hammer’s Inn, where they try to dissuade Gorruk from even an inkling of an idea that they may have done something to one of his tavern’s patrons.

There follows a lot of bluffing and headaching, faceplanting on the bar and groaning on the subject of shattered perspectives on people and heroes. And yet, somehow??? Luctan lives up to his chosen previous name and bluffs Gorruk into believing them (i.e. the DM was rolling low during the conversation).

A question comes up regarding the meaning of “suggar daddy”,and Gorruk just. Doesn’t answer the disguised tiefling.

With a successful negation of a disaster, the gang get some drinks and Luctan plays matchmaker for Mournimar and Gorruk, which leaves the half-orc man a-blushin’. Gorruk does show interest in a possible date. But Mournimar evidently was not in the right mindset to get together with the man, who’s customer he only recently saw on fire. But he does promiss to return eventually and have that date with the saddened and confused hunk of a man.

We also learn that Gorruk has had this bar for 4-5 years now, having it passed down to him by a man called Medive, who currently resides in Sa Doma, coincidentally, having opened a different establishment called the “Queen Nightingale”. Should the party meet him, they will be sure to tell the man that Gorruk and the Silver Hammer’s Inn are doing wonderfully.

Or. As a Nat 20 Deception Luctan put it: “ What do you mean, Gorruk? This place is a Palace. “

The party reunite with Samson, who had been cuddling up to Morgan, the Dire Wolf, during all this drama, non-the wiser of what had transpired. The lot of them get on the carriage and take off on a long road trip to Sa Doma, where Belli is to meet with Kit and her Brother.

And where Samson is to split from the party and fulfil his own, personal quest.

Night 1: 

As everyone gets to their sleeping time, Luctan finds himself having a dream. Feeling his hand get warm, due to an item he had collected about a month prior... And in his dreams, things occur.

Back in the waking world, Burk is the reigns holder as the others sleep. Rimefang happily at his side.

Felaern Krissel’s personal belongings:  89 gold pieces, 75 silver, expensive robes. Luctan holds onto these... for now.

On the second day of their travels, the highest perception people in the party notice something. A sign. Faded words spell “Love Shack, 50 miles away”.

There is not much discussion as the lot agree to follow the sign...

Along the way Belli helps Mournimar with his hair.

They reach the opening to an empty field with a small shack in the middle. As the tiefling two leave the carriage for the shack itself, everyone hears whooping and cheering coming from a carriage, coming close behind them. Lead by 3 horses, the carriage’s passangers  They’re dancing, singing, playing instruments and are all around having a good time.

The in-coming patrons look the party over:

- Like half the people wink at Mournimar

- barely few show interest for Belli.

- Luctan soaks in all of the attention once eyes fall on the “human” fighter.

- Amelia gets none of the spotlight, sadly, but Burk does get at least two people to show interest.

The enthusiasting group wave and gesture for The Cultbusters to come along. But Luck and Mournimar are way ahead of them as they are down right swaggering towards the entrance of the Love Shack.

“Stay away fools, ‘cause love rules at the Love Shack.”

Luctan rushes in, Mourni follows.

“IF you’re looking for fun, you’ve come for the right place.” A very funky tune is coming from the shack as the duo come on in.

This place is a hot spot for Ebriosus (Banned God of Forbidden Mortal Pleasures) worship . As well as for some of Fornas (God of Luck, Fate and Destiny)’ more lenient followers.

While the boys have their fun inside, Amelia and Belli keep to the carriage with the others...

Though Samson does eventually join in the shack, looking quite relaxed and blazed by the time he comes back with Luctan (wearing a Flower Crown) and Mournimar. Double thumbs up are thrown in the air. Friendship with Samson, acquired in the most weirdest of ways. High five between the tieflings.

And on that day, Luctan became a man (TM).

(There’s a green half orc, who yells “Eldritch Blaaaast” inside the Shack).

As the party takes off, Luctan blows an air kiss to the building. And a  half-elf dude catches his air kiss. Luctan swears to return one day. Maybe. Totally.

By the night of the 5th day, as the party is settling in for the night, around a campfire, they get joined by a wild looking woman, carrying three rabbits.

Thaks to Belli’s Zone of Truth, used with the woman’s consent, we learn that her name is Elouise and that she is a hunter, of sorts. She’s definitely not a serial killer or a cannibal. NO siree.

Not a townie, she is someone, who prefers life in the forest, as her appearance expresses, evidently.  Elouise is about as tall as Amelia. Ruffled hair. They introduce themselves and talk of Sa Doma. According to her, there’s a rampant problem with people of the trade. Something illegal? Criminals of all variety. Thieves, assassins, forgers, counterfitters.

As they go on in their talk, the party offers her a spot at their campfire. In exchange, and in grattitude, she prepares the rabbits and the party have a nice feast with this new friend, who they encourage to try the adventuring life out.

They discuss their journey so far and surprise Elouise with the tale of how they met a representation of Dyunificus; a golden stag. She eventually believes them (and Mourni gets the piss taken for giving away his gift from Dyunificus).

Shifts are taken during sleep. During Luctan’s, he takes the 75 silver pieces he had collected and Sleight of Hands them on Elouise’s person. Having decided not to let the opportunity of helping out someone, who was kind to them.

After Belli’s wonderful Breakfast making skills, the party and Elouise part ways. (AND WE LEARN OUT OF CHARACTER THAT SHE WAS A WEREWOLF! MY INNER TRAVIS WILLINGHAM IS SO DISAPPOINTED IN ME!)

“On the road again!”

About a week has passed since the Solstice festival. By now Luctan and Burk have spent some time training with each other. Sparring matches, working on strength and blade work. Or axe work, in Burk’s case.

They reach Baborum. The starting point of this whole journey that brought them together to begin with.

It is the Eve of The New Dawn (New Year’s Eve).

There is nostalgia in the air. It hasn’t been long, but they’ve accomplished so much since they met. And so much to come. 

In the sky, Mournimar can see them. There are many a constillations. Chuckling gnomes scurry about, doing their thing, everyone gathering i nthe center of the town and prepare for what comes next. 

There’s a brief thick silence as everyone stops speaking, before a flash of light, a crack , shimmer and fireworks. Purple, yellow and green. The sleepy eyed kids look in wonder.

“You’re doing alright, kids. You’re doing alright.” (Our DM)

As the fireworks are going off, Amelia checks for a child she had seen when they previously had been here. A boy, who’s father had passed. She sees him, with his mother. The boy sits atop the shoulders of a man, familiar to the mother, surely.

The boy is healing. For tonight, at least, he is happy.

And they are all content.

Belli makes eye contact with the tavern owners that capitalized on their capture of the cultist. Said tavernitestry to avoid eye contact with her. So much nostalgia in the air.

Samson learns from Luctan about the party’s start.

And that is the New Dawn celebration.

The morning of the 11th day, Kevin and Killer bring the carriage to Sa Doma, a massive city. FREAKING HUGE, OK?!

We make our entrance from the South-Western gate, passing by the evident buildings between the outside and the city walls. Temples, quite evident from the outside alone.

And when they go in... Half the party, all the boys at least, have certainly never been to a town like this before. So big. So thick. So filthy.

Pulling his hood up, Samson tells his fellows to keep an eye out for their stuff, lest pickpockets rob them blind.

They make their preparations and go on in. 

The others notice that this portion of the city is littered with Qorin and Embriosus symbols... Keeping an eye out, they can tell that shadyness is the norm. And anything outside of it, will catch attention. Like most of the party.

Goblins, Tieflings, Golliaths, Centaurs... Yeah. Burk is the “normal one” here.

Someone bumps into Belli as they go along. She receives a parchment from Kit. “The Lean peacock, north-east.”

They walk past some guard barracks, a dodgy looking tavern called “The scattered heart”, a guild hall for the DarkbBane Army. “The Brave Fighters standing against evil” and past the “Warmaster’s office”

There’s a city hall, currently being guarded by two almost identical tieflings. Luctan takes note of them. The male and female tieflings are red skinned, they have long black hair both. One has a figure, the female?! The male one’s got his arms folded and being way more macho than usual.

They pass through Peppery Pete’s, they spot the guild hall for the Lawyer’s Guild.

It is here, where they part with Samson. There are hugs, there are handshakes and there are salutes.

And there are finger gun genstures. Whatever a “gun” is, anyways. (We seriously question whether Luctan is The Fonz by this point, with his “Eyyyyy!”  routine).

Luctan offers Samson their services if trouble arrises.

The last place they pass by is “Liliana’s Bath house.”  (Jokes are made, as we wonder if it’s an actual bath house or just a kink thing).

They make it to the tavern. There’s a very elegantly painted bright bird. “The Lean peacock.” Anxiety is in the air. They can feel it. Hell, Belli and Mournimar embody it.

They scan the room and see Kit with the pink ribbon. A very inconspicuous looking redheaded half-elf. Sat next to her is a face they seem to recognize, but not sure where. (It’s Ficus. He looks similar to Belli. They are siblings after all.)

Ficus is a tattooed gray half-orc with red and blue tattoos on his person, a number of rings on his fingers and blue highlights in his darker shade of brown hair.

They recognize each other, Bellia and Ficus. They recognize each other.

Belli goes over to Kit and Ficus, being awkward, while the rest of the party go to the bar. Mournimar takes a seat nearby and just watches, willing to jump in the conversation if things go bad.

Kit smiles up, but she gives a half-glare, a negative emotion directed towards Ficus.  She gestures to Belli to sit. Ficus looks terrified.

“It’s nice to see you again, Kit.”  - Belli.

“It’s a fantastically tense surrounding, isn’t it?” - Kit.

“it’s certainly been a while. That was a bad start, that was a bad start. Oh God.” - Ficus.

As they talk, Kit, sitting beside Ficus, becomes something of an awkward intermediary

I thought you were dead. We thought someone had kidnapped you in the middle of the night and you were dead.” - Belli speaks, her voice evident with a mix of emotions.

I tried to leave some kind of note. I don’t-I guess-“

“Yes, a rock and you think a note is a good thing to disappear with.”

“If they had known I was going to go, they wouldn’t have let me.”

“They did everything to try and find you. They never stopped looking. Why did you leave? You’re family and you just left?! Didn’t eeven say goodbye”

“I was scared. Is that so hard to believe?”

“I was scared and I never did what you did.”

“I didn’t want what they wanted me to be.”

“They didn’t want me as a son. They wanted someone lively and fun, someone who could play the instruments and I was not this.”

“We’re bards, Ficus.”

“I’m not.”

As they continue, Mournimar subtly moves closer, by a table. Luctan keeps his eyes on the other tiefling, giving him a look of pure “WTF-ery”.

Ficus didn’t want to be like them. He didn’t want to be a “clown”. He wanted to do something bigger than perform.

“There’s more to being a bard than performing and throwing glitter about.”

He wanted to be there, be at the front. And he did. He fought in the wa of years prior. And left. 

He admits he became a thief, after being pressed to answer, by Belli. “I’ve taken contracts to hurt-to kil people. I’ve killed people.”

It’s what the bands on his neck mean.

“If you were that desperate for money, why didn’t you go back home and ask for help?”

“Because they wouldn’t understand.“

Ficus wants to make amends. He’s hidden for too long and needs to see them again. He was selfish to leave, but couldn’t take it anymore and had to go.

And it is with this OOF. That Belli spills the beans on her own witnessed OOF.

On the story of how she found her parents frozen in stone, when returning with supplies to fix the carriage.

Ficus’ face goes through many negative emotions. But the superior one that bursts through like a damn dam is grief and sorrow as he starts to cry.

Belli’s had to do a lot of things to survive. She is angry with him. BUT!

As pissed as she is at Ficus, she still wants him in her life.  He is openly weeping. There is sadness in the air. Kit doesn’t know how to comfort people. She uses one of Belli’s hands and pats Ficus with it.

At this time, Mournimar joins the conversation.  Belli introduces Mournimar to Ficus. In a hell of a way. He’s better than Ficus. But Belli still loves him and doesn’t want to lose him.

Ficus immediatelly goes invisible, much to Belli’s frustration with her older brother.

From below the table, a small tabbycat hops on the table.  Mournimar pats it, but it feels like Ficus is petting it.  Belli demands he show himself again. And he does. He is a total mess.

Kit is panicking by this point, the poor Changeling, as she doesn’t know what to do. But she will see this through. For both Narahs’ sake, she must!

Mournimar tries to encourage Ficus, but man, it doesn’t go well for the drow born tiefling. Luctan has to pull him out of the conversation and scene itself, much to Mournimar’s dismay as he desperately wants to comfort the two half-orcs.

But ultimately, he submits and steps out, towards the  “Obnoxious Bee inn”, opposite of “The Lean Peacock”. As they leave, Burk hands Rimefang over to Mournimar for emotional support, (aww), while Amelia has not stopped drinking since the whole conversation started.

The poor Air Genasi has been stressed out beyond words.

The boys go in and look around the place, but don’t find anyone recognizable.

Mournimar drinks, while Luctan gives him a sober pep talk, giving him assurance that everything will turn out well with the Narahs. After all. They’re family.

Mournimar mentions a drow named Lazarus and Luctan seems to recognize that name... Strange.

Mournimar elaborates on his history with this person and why they’d evidently be in this town.

2 years prior to all this, Mournimar got in a relationship with a drow-elf named Lazarus. Tall guy, charming, very nice to him and they hit it off. He ended up distancing himself. Next thing he knew, he found him passed out, bloodied at a shrine to FUCKING POTENCIA, after he knew what she did to Mournimar...

“He had the balls to say “It wasn’t Potencia’s fault!”“

Once the older tiefling gets this off his chest, Luctan drops another pep talk. He may not be the brightest yarnball in the oven, but even he can see things from a certain perspective.

Mournimar sighs and is getting his composure back together.

Back with the Narahs.... Emotions are a bitch.

By now, Ficus starts to calm down.  “Well, where are they?”

Belli explains that she had left them at home.  Ficus has a lot to make up for and it may  take him the rest of his life to make up for it. 

Do you kind of understand, or was this all for nothing?”

They talk well and Ficus almost smiles. He elaborates that he’s had friends keep tabs on Belli, during her recent travels.

“Do you remember what today is?”Belli’s 17th Birthday

Ficus remembers, of course. And even has a present for Belli. A necklace container shaped box.

“Yes. You’re not completely hopeless as a brother, then.”  The Sibling bonding is exciting and cavity enducing as we learn about their past shenanigans, involving pools of water, mud pies and the like.

Kit asks if they’ll go to Keemas for Night Cap?

Ficus shares that he has a place, somewhere in town. But isn’t that good with words, the poor awkward half-orc.

(From their interaction, this player can only discern that Kit is Ficus’ Belli as Mournimar is Belli’s Ficus.)

The cat that Ficus has with him is, as he puts it, his Fae familiar. One very pettible boy named “Bumpkin”. Which surprises Belli, to say the least.

There are kazoo puns made and laughter is had between the siblings as they hug it out. They missed each other.

Belli proceeds to introduce her brother to her friends, startign with Amelia and Burk. Amelia is drunk, but constute enough to handle herself. She gets to meet Bumpkin, who’s form is that of a tabby cat.

Burk is not impressed with Ficus and lets the evidently scared half-orc know this fact. And he asks if Ficus threw a rock at him.  He makes sure to let Burk know that omeone else threw a rock at him. Ficus doesn’t want Burk to kick his teeth out.

Belli drops some truthbombs, while Ficus tries to explain that the necklace he got her can do the same thing that brought Bumpkin to the Material plane.

Belli basically gets to have her own familiar! Belli has a friend necklace, which she is very excited about. A very drunk Amelia points out the boys went to the other tavern and that’s where the gray half-orcs take to.

Amelia has an emotional breakdown. Existential crisis.

Amelia gets more Rum. Burk gets another Tequila slammer.

There is further sibling bonding as they head to the Bee inn. Talk of chair theft. So much chair theft. It’s wild.

Mournimar hasn’t drunken that much, thus he is but tipsy as the two enter. Via belli kicking the door in, to announce their presence.  Mourni freezes immediately. “Oh, Fuck!” He panicks.

But the situation looks much resolved, compared to earlier. very much resolved.

The two meet Ficus and shake his hand.

Luctan having to shake it in motions to where it looks like a normal one, countering th shiver the taller man has. He oozes that charisma in ways to calm down the male Narah, while Ficus apologizes to Mournimar.

The awkward handshake ensues between the awkward boys and Mournimar asks of Sa Doma.

“To summrise it politely, it’s a shithole.” There are lovely people here. The lady at the bathhouse is one of them.  Liliana is a lovely old lady. The bathhouse is nice. 

Mournimar asks about Lazarus  When he mentions the sword, Luctan just stares, his interest peacked.

Ficus hasn’t seen this guy. Nor heard of him. His surname is fairly common.

There are sex jokes that ensue. Yes, things have definitely gone to a good vibe again.

Ficus then proceeds to tell them about sights they could partake in, depending on their disposition. And on things to avoid.

There’s a battle axe and a half woman around. Don’t tangle with her.

A brewery.

He mentions The “Queen Nightingale”, Medive’s place, where he apparently gambles???

And, should they look for them, there are many a brothels.

There are temples and the like.

Belli mentions their meeting with Dyunficus. But Ficus doesn’t believe them.

Somehow. Someway the conversation leads them to Belli barring Ficus from having a “go” at Luctan. (Yes. In ;)  way).

Much to her bro’s dismay. Ficus finds Luctan attractive. That 15 charisma, man. It’s really something.

Should they be interested, there is a school of the arcane to look into for study.

At the temple of Keemas there’s some good shit that’s not exactly legal. (Light the previously mentioned stuff).

There’s a market and there are many a shops. Including a library/tavern mashup.

And should they look for it, there is a fight club. Around the corner, behind, if you come out a door and go straight past 3 buildings, there’s an open area, where fights occur occasionally. Something to share with Burk, definitely. 

After some accidental and “accidental” flirting with Ficus, the boys return Rimefang to Burk, having decided to go to that library tavern, afterwards.

Amelia, by this point, is pretty out of it. No barfing, but she does throw a glass across the room. Luctan decides to carry her to a room, tries to buy one and is told to take her out of the establishment.

So he goes back to the Bee’s inn and tries there, with better luck as the brunette half-elven woman running the bar points him to a storage closet, where Amelia can take a well deserved nap.

“Everyone’s a little fucked up.”  - The Half-Elven woman.

“Mood, sister.” - Luctan.

Ficus even lends her Bumpkin as a cuddle buddy.

(YES, HE HAS A B! IT IS MY HEADCANON!)

As the boys leave, they agree they are horrible to Amelia, accidnetally as it is.

“This is our truth. We are horrible.”

And as the two head to the library, we reach an ending point.

Seon Adventures - Episode 3, “Party’s Pursuit”

This time a recap with art! Following the swift battle in the cave from episode two, the party had returned back to town to recuperate, stock up on supplies and acquire transport South-Westward. And not necessarily in that particular order.

The party split up early on with Burk deciding to stay out of town for a good 20 minutes, for his own reasons, eating a beef ball that Belli had offered him in the meantime of his stay outside.

The rest soon seperated by accident, in the Market corner, or should I say, Market center. Shenanigans ensue as Mournimar goes in hot pursuit of a wandering Belli and the two have a comedic hugging out, with tears aplenty.

All the while, Luck and Amelia get down to business in the potions shop.  “Peppery Pete’s Pile of Potions”, run by an eccentric and crazy eyed gnome of the same name. Comedic conversation ensues as Luck learns of the potions, from the basic health potions to Peter’s own concoctions.:

A green potion, called “Bable’s tiple”, which allows it’s user to speak 3 seperate languages they don’t know; (Luck bought that one, alongside 3 medium restoration potions and 2 minor ones);

A Hot pink Potion for bedroom enhancements (Luck took the potion as litterally helping people get sleep and will probably buy one next time, lol);

A Milky potion, which gave it’s drinker feathers;

Bright Neon Orange one, allowing someone to grow a beard (suggested by Peter, seeing as Luck’s got a baby smooth face);

A potion dubbed “Wizard’s Folly”, which enhances wisdom and intelligence (SERIOUSLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT ONE. Luck and MarMar are 8 Wisdom each with a -1 modifier)

And last, but not least. A black potion. It was cola. One day he will get a chance to have it. One daaay!

Before leaving, Luck asked about “The Traveling Gentlemen” and was pointed to the city of Victrum. Something that soured the young fighter’s day, but gave him hope, in a way.

OH! Way before they got to the shop, Amelia got “Art Thou Nasty” pants. A lot of laughs were had.

The party reconvened in the center of the market, after Burk had gone to the local Temple and asked about the afterlife (he was not amused by the answer he got, regarding which deity supported revenge.)

Once together, the party collected a monetary prize from the captain of the guard for their recent freelancer work of taking otu the local cultists. Belli gave the captain a hug. She knows all the guards. Belli is so pure. We stan (1) funky Half-Orc Bard.

After this, the party returned to the tavern from the first session and they each got a room and slept to varying results. Belli had annoyed Burk by playing well into midnight on her kazoo and the two got in a tug of war over it. Burk accidentally broke it 8( (don’t worry, there may be hope for it yet!)

Burk and Amelia switched rooms after this incident.

The following day, thanks to a tip from one of the guards, the party got a carriage with two war horses on a low price (Luck failed to persuade to lower the price by reminding the man at the stables that they saved his sister-in-law). and they took off with their new horses, Kevin and Killiyon.

First day was uneventful, on the second they reached a body of water and had a short beach episode, weirding out local fishermen. Day 3 Belli got tricked into bying a fake magic ring from the daughter of a farmer (even after Mournimar did a Arcana check on the ring, so apparently the daughter has magic, herself), who she now has a crush on. (SHE WILL MAKE A HONEST WOMAN OUT OF HER, ONE DAY!) And late, on the 4th day, the party reached Victrum.

Carriage in the stables, the 5 of them went to the fun tavern (one of four pointed to them by the local guards) “The Merry Flutist”. An tavern with live music!

Belli, Burk and Amelia stayed there and did their own thing, while Luck left in a hurry, not finding anyone familiar to him there. Mournimar followed him to the Adventuers and Warriors’ tavern, “The Silver Hammer Inn”. Where if you tell a good adventuring story, you get free drinks.

Belli and Amelia flirted with the half-elven bartender named “Nelatha”, who becomes suspicious of Belli as she is familiar with Belli’s parents, who went “missing”.

Belli went on to perform on stage. Burk looked for a tiefling bard, to no aveil and Amelia scored fun times with Nelatha.

All the while Mournimar and Luck met the bartender of the Adventurers’ tavern and got into his good graces via the story of their recent adventure. The Half-Orc Gorruk poured the boys a drink of their choice. Mournimar flirted with Gorruck. (THERE WAS SO MUCH FLIRTING THIS EPISODE AND I LIVE FOR THIS).

Then, after Luck had a swig of his whiskey, he asked about the party “The Traveling Gentlemen”. Gorruck told him of their recent activity, heading South-West towards Menun, going after “The Forestheart Bretheren”, whom Gorruck refers to as a bunch of “hippies”. Rangers and Druids.

Luck finished his drink by that point, gave a piece of platinum and left.

Mournimar learned from Gorruck a bit more. That one of them was now able to fly. Also learned of a prison near a swampland, before leaving to look for Luck.

Not able to find him. Poor Mournimar is like that one parent that needs to put leashes on their kids/party members.

He goes to the tavern, where the others were.

Burk had gone to the stables, after having eaten a good meal. Amelia flirted with Nelatha and Belli did a kickass stagedive with a Magehand landing.

Gathering the girls, and riding on Belli’s shoulders, the trio go to find Luck, leaning against a wall, brooding. Luck manages to bluff his way out of explaining his reason for storming out after he learned about the Traveling Gentlemen and the party returns to the tavern.

Burk gets some brewing supplies and makes some good alcohol (I think it was ale, though he wanted to make moonshine).

The girls and Mournimar sleep in the tavern, while Burk sleeps in hay in the stables. Luck covers him with his jacket, before falling asleep in the carriage, after writing an update in his journal.

The following day, Belli gets a new kazoo, Amelia tanks a hangover and gets to spend some GoodTimes >;) with Nelatha.

While this is going on, Mournimar visits Gorruck again and learns more about the Traveling Gentlemen.

They had recently lost a member.

There was no combat, this session. But a lot of good character building moments for the party, relationships and party dynamic developing well and revealing places to grow. It was the best. I suspect next episode we’ll compensate for the lack of battle.

Seon Adventures - Episode 4, “The Road to Rorum”

We continue our adventure a little early, (last night, the 12th of December, 2018)

Quick Flashback to the first night in Victrum: 

Following the moderately peaceful first evening in Victrum, the party went to get their sleep on. Luck had a dream. A Secret Chat level dream.

The following day, the party reconvenes over breakfast, skillfully made by Belli, in The Merry Flutist Tavern. SHE NAT 20 CRITS ON CLEANING THE KITCHEN, OK?! BELLI RULES THE KITCHEN WITH A BARDIC FIST OF AWESOME! And gets some copper for her work from Nelatha, the Half-Elven woman Amelia spent some time with.

“If you’re going to eat somewhere, you’ll eat there too.” – Words to live by, from Belli.

After finishing his conversation with Gorruk, Mournimar finds out that Peppery Peter’s got a shop in Victrum, as well as in Bavorum and visits said shop. (We all stan one (1) Gnome artificer(?!)) And Mournimar gets himself a coke. He also learns about a  potion of “All kind”, which gives the user some attributes of a different race. As well as of a Purple potion, that can make someone dance until they tire out and fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Belli is performing with her new kazoo atop a box, having gathered a crowd. An Half-Orc man and two halflings are giving her the stink eye. The HOM claims that Belli is stealing their show and I do believe this is when a rivalry is born between Belli and the performers, who we later learn are part of an acting troupe.

Luck and Amelia, in the crowd, hold a bit of a conversation and Luck is surprised that Mournimar had a nervous breakdown in Bavorum, when he and Belli seperated. Amelia is taken aback by Luck referring to Mournimar as a “demon” and with a good amount of insight can tell that Luck isn’t doing so well, emotionally.

Mournimar and Burk, who had been going around town in the meanwhile, soon join the crowd and Mournimar is proud of Belli’s performance (Belli, slowly getting distressed over her attempts with the new kazoo)!

Now, together again, the party decides to ultimately continue on their journey to Menum. They have a cult to stop, after all. Before they can go, however, Mournimar leaves a note for a sleeping Gorruk in his little brother Darrok’s keep, while Luck gets free milk and pays for it anyways (He wanted to give a confidence boost to Darrok).

Amelia and Burk pick flowers. It’s nice.

Then everyone goes to the Merry Flutist again and Burk has a snack, while Belli starts making her way towards the trio from earlier.

Amelia and Nelatha share a moment, Amelia giving Nelatha flowers, before getting a kiss from the half-elven woman. (AWWWWWWWWW!)

Belli gets into an argument with the performers, with Luck and Mournimar at her sides. They only now notice more people at the table. An Water Genasi and an Elven woman.

- Half-Orc’s name is Saruk.

- Luck commits a fo-pa again.

- Water Genasi is Aecor.

- Halflings are Odyn and Sanys.

- Elven woman is named Keythora.

After some shenanigans and misunderstandings, we learn about the acting gig.

The Water Genasi is a director and his people are doing a play about the worshipped gods in the continent. But they have no experience with fight scenes and he wants to hire the party to train them for their show.

After more shenanigans, as well as one hell of a kazoo performance by Belli, thanks to a pep talk by Mournimar, which earns Belli a round of applause, (Belli does not appreciate the people, who cut off her show earlier) everyone agrees and after a merciful training session with advantage (God, the first halfo f the session I was rolling so low ; u ; ) our 5 heroes get 5 gold coins each for their work.

The party, except Belli, make friends with the actors and headfor the stables, so they can continue their journey. Belli made Kevin and Killer suits. But Killer is not amused. Burk feeds his flowers to Killer. Luck is just smirking at the horses.

Mournimar and Luck take the to the coachman’s seat. And Mournimar nat 19′s his animal check. Way to go MarMar <3

Amelia keeps a careful eye out, while they travel, but on the evening of their travel, they decide to make camp and sadly, don’t hide their carriage well.

Burk takes the first 3 hour shift and finds a stone structure. After his watch is done, he wakes Luck up to take the 2nd shift and, instead of going to bed immediatelly, finds a shrine to a forbidden god. He makes an offering of the minotaur’s horn and prays for revenge. Then sleeps and has a flashback to his backstory, which has evident discomfort.

Nothing interesting happens during Luck’s shift. Amelia’s shift has her feel watched. “Whack.” As Amelia put it the following day, when everyone was awake and breakfasting. She heard crunching of leaves, someone moving away from them that night.

Belli makes killer pbj sandwiches.

After asking about Amelia’s night watch, Luck investigates and finds a purse with two gold coins. He keeps the coins, but hands Belli the pouch and once they’re done eating, they continue on their journey.

Over the next day of watches, Amelia and Luck feel something watching the party and they hear it leave. During Luck’s watch, he can see the grass press in and keeps his sword unsheathed, in case they end up in danger.

The following morning, Burk leads Mournimar and Luck on a search through the forest for the owner of said tracks and they find a campfire. And a rock with a smiley face drawn on it, which Luck picks up). Thanks to Mournimar, they learn that the camp’s fire was magical, when it was aflame.

The trio head back to their camp, as that is where the tracks are leading.

Amelia gets that familiar feeling from the past two nights and tries to shield a shaking Belli. Someone drops a rock with a note, in Orcish, to the girls’ feet as the boys rejoin them.

Belli reads the note: “Go home. F. N.” and that triggers negative emotions in Belli, who has to be restrained from hurting her knuckles on the carriage.She shouts the name “Ficus”, from atop the carriage, demanding he show himself, to no avail. 

We learn of Belli’s connection to Ficus. Belli’s older brother, who abandoned the family long ago. Burk makes a wise saying happen.

The party learns that Belli can’t even go home, because something had happened.

Then, Belli runs away, going invisible, followed by Luck and Mournimar, who chase after her, trying to stop her.

They eventually catch up to her and Belli shares her backstory with Mournimar, while Luck pretends he’s not hearing their conversation. (Seeing as this doesn’t unfold in the Secret Room, i think I can revela it here???)

When Belli was 12, the family was in the forest. Their wagon broke, Belli was sent to town, on the way someone needed help. She helped. She returned the next morning…. – Her family turned to stone. She broke the stone by accident, while trying to move them. She broke her mom.

Mournimar gives the ultimate pep talk to a distraught Belli and the two hug it out. Ficus is unaware of what happened to their family. Once everyone is back together again, Burk asks about Ficus’ profession, since he is a practitioner of magic, clearly from how things went. But Belli doesn’t know.

Everyone finally arrives in Rorum, port town in the country of Erelmia. There are three taverns n the town. “The Busty Wench”, an Hooters-esque establishment; “The Honorable Crow”, a more sailor-friendly place; and the “Port Bow”, a more swanky establishment, where Burk is not allowed to go.

The boys end up going to The Honorable Crow, while the girls go to The Busty Wench.

Belli gets harrassed, mistaken for a working girl, by an older man. The girls leave.

Meanwhile, Mournimar pulls Luck aside and shares with him his own tragic backstory. (This one happened in Secret chat, so my word is my boon, sorry yo).

After an awkward hug by Luck, the duo sit with Burk and are greeted by the twin Goliaths “Stan and Stan”. Together they STAN!!! (This broke Burk’s player).

The girls join the boys in the Crow, right after they ordered their respective drinks (a glass of whiskey for Luck and a bottle of brandy for Mournimar). MarMar then learns about what happened with Belli and dashes off towards The Busty Wench with Amelia, having downed the whole bottle of brandy like a champ.

While they put the fear of god in the old man (Amelia even collects one of his teeth, holy shit!), Belli gets drunk, downing a whole bottle of whiskey, barfs and goes down for the count. There is some Orc solidarity between her and another patron in the tavern. “Vive la Orcs!” indeed.

Once everyone is back together again, Luck helps Belli up and they rent two rooms, one for the girls, one for the boys.

After Luck writes down the past few days in his journal, everyone but Amelia goes to sleep, with Luck and Burk each having dreams about their backstories. Marmar is tired af and is starting to regred his decision to share his backstory with Luck. Belli sleep kazoos.

Amelia goes to the Port Bow and does a backstory Secret Chat thing, which earns everyone a chance to travel by sea to cut down their travel days some. Kevin and Killer included!

The girls cuddle, once Amelia returns to the room. Sweethearts ; u ;

Belli wakes up in the morning, hella hangover, but otherwise, ok.

And that is how the session ends. Again, no fighting, but we did get to explore the character dynamic and relationships, as well as get some tasty backstory stuff, accidental and otherwise. I am excited for next session, which I guess will be in the start of 2019 /o/
