Day 04 (S3-4)

(Start leaving Riverbend, end after the dance)
We begin to leave with the body of the creature on Alice’s donkey, Alice used her broomstick to travel. an army of shadows starts to chase us. We get hit a few times, burning spells to fend them off. Sunrise hits and kills what's left of them.

We get to Stoneslope and rest during the day, they almost didn’t let us in. They wondered why we would bring the shadows to them.

In the evening we finally get back to Vorovni and get cleaned up for the meeting at the Mayor Highwater of Vorovni's house now that we have completed the quest. We find out that what we killed was a Bodak. There is some inter-planar magic involved.

First we turn in the quest. Rina is put under a truth spell as she tells the story of what happened. Loren is the wizard for the guild hall. We get paid 11k gold. We set aside half the money in Kin’s chest as the party fund, and split the rest.

We each get our invitations to the Mayor’s party from Neely.

Before the party everyone gets new clothes, except Rina who has Clothes of Mending, which are nice robes. Jen owns the fabric shop.

We get to the party at the mayor’s house. It’s in a courtyard with lights floating around magically. There are some trees and flowers around, and the area is magically being kept warm.

The Cardinals of Luminus are kind of the Knights Templar for Luminus. They guard the higher ranking people in the town.

There is a Daybreak witch here, they work closely with royalty, Their name is Mx. Rizvic. Each high ranking person has both a witch and a Cardinals of Luminus (or some other church higher-up) work with them for balance.

Pontain is the Cardinal that stays with the Mayor, and Mx. Rizvic is the witch who stays by him.

We hear that an adventuring party called Fearsome 5 were lost in the west. We talked about looking for them.

Pontain sniffs at Rina.

We also hear that one of the Fingers of Luminus was found Dead in his Chambers. Someone will be promoted to his place. The fingers are the most powerful fighters for the church.

There is a cult called the Eyeless Cult who have been spreading dark magic according to Pontain.  Seems Luminus does not like the eyeless cult.

Seems the Twilight. Coven Has Worries about something recently.

The party called the Salt Slayers decided to take the Monster in the East mission that we heard about before.

Aurelius danced with an Orc woman from the Salt Slayers, and Alice danced with a human (looking) guy named Alejandro. Rina danced with a girl from a different party named Siske, who seemed a bit intimidated by her. Her party was cheering her on to ask Rina to dance.

They dance, but kin goes over to the corner to be alone. He tries to blend in as much as possible.

Then Enoch Agronoch shows up to dance with Rina, bringing cold air with him and scaring off another man who was trying to dance with her. Enoch apologized for the pain caused when changing the contract the night before, but now she needs to accept a deal with him to save millions of people - including her son Darrian. She asks why her, he answers because she’s Wise, Ancient, and beautiful. She says it’s not even a choice. He said he’d be back to talk to her later. “I am the Prince of Hell” he said just before he disappeared.

S4:
After the dance with Enoch, Rina and the other party members get together with the Mayor Highwater of Vorovni and Neely to discuss the contract deal for the Pixie Woods that the sprite lite coven wants. Pontain and Rizvic also join the conversation, both pulling the Mayor in different directions on making the deal at all. Rizvic explains all of the benefits, Pontain does not like the idea.

There’s a monster there that they want taken care of, or at least they want protection from the monster. There’s also an old mill that needs to be rebuilt.

We agree to 6 tons of the raw iron to the city as soon as possible which will come from the land, then another 6 tons over the next year, 35% discount. Then the Sprite Lights can have the land.

Pontain asks everyone in the party what their place is in the city. He now knows Rina’s power isn’t her own. He also said we should come to more gatherings.

Rizvic seems to have a magical string to the Mayor’s ear. They say we owe them a favor in the future since they helped us make the deal with the mayor. They want us to Vote with Them in a political thing later.

Rina asked the man who Enoch scared off if he knew who Enoch was. The man said he just felt like he would die if he tried to dance with her.

We spoke to the Salt Slayers again and Alejandro was fighting with someone he called his sister. She is a halfling in a different party. Rina stepped between them to stop their fighting, but realized they were more play fighting. She was a halfling

Siske was asking everyone at the party if they’ve seen a Dragon, she told Rina that she thought she had seen a Dragon woman in a pub in Cofamoso. She believes this was a dragon that has evolved to look human.

We get the land contract for the coven to try to Bring back the Fey and then we go rest at the inn.
