2025-10-11 Let's Find Teren (with distractions)

Session Goals

• Visit the baths before the end of the day 1 Austas
• I should figure out what's up with my silver and gold circlet - maybe cursed? The lady at Gnomeish Notions said I should check in with the witch lady who usually hangs out at Charlie's Place

Adventure Log

• Continuation from 2025-09-25 Let's Find Teren
• Jeremy walks the beam and wins the grand prizes! A bag of candy, a ticket to the baths (tonight only), a stuffed messenger wyrm, and 10gp!
• We enter the capture the flag tournament as The Drow Hunters
• We should arrive by noon on 2 Austas to begin the capture the flag tournament. The Tournament of the Feast of the Sisters.
• Amara comes over to congratulate us on our recent adventures. She said we should stop by her place after the day.
• Amara's friend sells amulets. And she'll be at the baths tonight. Her amulet came from one of the vendors.

We Talked to Hubert

• I used prestidigitation to magically make my mithril butterfly knife 90% off
• Might need to attune to the mithril butterfly knife
• Hubert is at the weekend market selling wares. He wants to hang out with Zaithar (Will)
• Hubert agrees to join our team for the tournament!

Jewelry Booth

• There's a young wild elf, fresh painted nails, dolled up, more fashionable. Her name is Dirval
• She finds these amulets them in the Thaunderwood. Her family just "has a gift" that makes it less dangerous.
• Nia Moonwhisper buys a set of earrings that make the wearer feel extra pretty.
• Jeremy convinces her to sell her an amulet that's apparently turned into a black rock. She's only been selling them for a couple months. Sometimes they turn black or clear and the magic seems to wear out. She assumes the magic just wears out after a time.
• Dirval cleans houses for rich merchants in addition to selling the rocks.
• Alcamiss and Alcamale sell expensive clothes, armor, and jewelry.
• Krix buys a magic ring and uses his panoptic lorniette identify it. It makes the wearer feel attractive. It has enchantment, abjuration, evocation, and a fourth school of magic that isn't clear.
• After Krix identifies them, Nia buys a necklace and a ring as well.

Magic Mike's

• We knock, but no answer.
• I bang on the door, try yelling about Yarasule. Then, I hear through the sending stone telling me that I need to get the reservoir moving again. The matron is displeased.
• We need to figure out who "the matron" is that we learned about through one of the sending stone messages.
• Krix manages to get Jay Leno, Magic Mike's cat to show up.
• Krix grapples the cat and tries to unlock the door as if the cat is a key. The door rushes open. The cat scurries into the dark.
• Krix and I step inside while the others stay outside. Panalin guards the door.
• A cold wind rushes at us. Krix takes 25 cold damage, Zaithar and Nia take 12. Zaithar tries to talk to Mike but he kicks us out.

Church

• A very well appointed church, new spire, quite tall.
• This is the church of Haya and Siaska
• We see the Light Warden, greeting people on the way in.
• We all sit in the back.
• The Light Warden gives a speech and starts the giving of the sacrament. We take it and we get +1 to DEX saves for the next 24 hours.
• After the service, Violetta Witchalder, the Light Warden, pulls Nia Moonwhisper and Jeremy away.
  • She tells them of a vision she received some days back from Siaska of visitors that would arrive in town.
  • Jeremy and Nia tell her that we are on a mission to save elf children
  • A group with some latent power would arrive and it would be related to some form of destabilization. She wants to know what our intentions are. She is trying to make sense of the vision. The vision had something to do with blackness flowing through the land, purple light, five figures fighting...but she couldn't tell whom they were fighting for.
  • Violetta is concerned. Could be cultists, worshippers of extraplanar gods,
  • Nia tells Violetta she should be very concerned.
  • Violetta says she isn't aware of anything going on at the old elf towers.
  • She says Duke of Murgholm doesn't yet understand the gravity of the situation.
  • If we have evidence of the use of Free Magic, e.g. the mage's head perhaps, we could go to the Portreeve to ask for an audience with the Duke of Murgholm
  • Violetta is going to tell the church elders about the free magic situation in the area.
  • Violetta didn't seem to know anything about the exemplar situation.
  • The church of Siaska and Haya can probably heal us when we're poisoned, etc.
  • The silver dragons have an academy in the capital. They are known to be magical experts. Might have info on Free Magic

The Baths

• We head back to the Duke's Hall for the baths.
• Rosa is there manning the entrance. She takes our tickets.
• A large underground main bath. Aromatics if you want them. We're all naked.
• Baths are a big deal with the dragons apparently
• Merchants, gnomes, and halflings like the baths.
• Steam fills the room and it coalesces into a shape near Rosa. It envelopes her and pulls her away.
• Roll initiative!!
