And so it was...
...that the Triumphant Trio became the Furious Four.
After encountering a griffon on the way to Heastead, the threesome got unexpected help from Nova Amaril, who appeared out of nowhere to settle a score with the vile beast. With a decisive blow from Unknown could be claimed.
Striking a deal with Silaqui and Nijel the Destroyer the promised 25 gold each, and gave the party until the dawn of the 20th of Achiel to roam around the city.
Arriving in the Golden Steed, the party got themselves their rooms. Nijel and Makaria encountered a mysterious elf in the bar, who proposed a deal ( The Conversation with the Mysterious Elf )
Silaqui was suspicious of Yanzu, and tried to spy on him in his room, but only heard that he was talking, even though he was, as far as she knew, alone.
The next day...
Nova found the local temple, and discovered it was dedicated to Achiel. A bit upset upon discovering this, she roamed the city, until she came upon a curious bookstore with an even more curious owner. She did not have the required gold to purchase the book she wanted, so the storekeeper made a strange trade: the book would be hers, for a vial of her blood. Nova complied, and returned to the Golden Steed afterwards.
Makaria also found herself looking for the temple, and arrived a bit after Nova, the locals not proving helpful in showing her the way. She prayed to Penem, and received an unknown blessing. Afterwards, she made her way to Old Oak Hill.
Silaqui followed her suspicions of Yanzu, and thus Yanzu himself, into the busy streets of Heastead. Just as the gnome turned a corner, she was stopped by Henry Jamund, who was at first delighted upon having found a fellow magic user, but soon left upset as Silaqui was in a hurry to chase Yanzu. He cast an unknown spell on her as she hurried away. Following the alleyway, Silaqui found herself in front of a locked door. Returning to the Golden Steed, she was able to discover that Henry cast some sort of divination magic on her.
Nijel pursued the lead left by the mysterious elf, and thus met Duri Ukal and his son, Narvi Ukal. The dwarf agreed to the proposal, and promised to take his son along for the ride. Nijel then went to find Makaria, was unable to, and returned to the Golden Steed to find Nova and Silaqui there.
And thus...
- It is 19-2-642, 13:00.
- Makaria is awaiting whatever will happen on Old Oak Hill.
- Nijel, Silaqui and Nova are about to pick up Duri to meet the mysterious elf
