Day 31 (S17-18)

Leaving Vorovni with Neely, Ending after the Open Pearls
Rina 26, 7 (5 of DI)
We then decide to head to Castle Frey again with Neely in tow. Rina asks Sullivan Frey why he left Therius and the last Dragon alive. He did not seem concerned about either being a threat to him.

Rina mentions that she needs the Warlock Death Ring from the ShapeSmithing shop, and Sullivan recommends the Bloodletter contest. If you win you get something from the shop and get 10 entries into the Vampire Lottery, you can put whoever's name on them you want.

Sullivan brings in an old woman, Rosa, who says her husband has passed and she is willing to give her home to anyone who takes her to “The largest Taste Tree Stump” in the Taste Tree Forest so she can die there. We intend to go to Therius first, look for the stump on the way, and hopefully teleport her back to it later.

We then hear the Salt Slayers are in town and met up with Gunther and Marie. They are meeting up at the Tunnel Inn. Neely is very tired so Rina gives up her room for her & plans to stay at the Tunnel inn possibly anyway - she's till salty from when Aurelius peaked into her windows and say Enoch Agronoch on her bed and made a big deal out of it.

Rina writes to Darrian from Castle Frey, she sends him 40g and tells him about the opening trade with The Kingdom of Bolgroth. She also receives a letter from Darrian here, forwarded by Marcus.

Went to the apothecary and Rina got 2 potions - 1 regular one, and 1 of greater healing. She also got pipeweed and sheep skin condoms (kept in the bag of Colding).

We get to the Tunnel Inn and meet up with the Salt Slayers and Gunther and Marie - They are all going on a mission to Drusk to rescue Longneck Bodak - their final party member. Long Neck was captured by the govt of Drusk.

S18

We start out in the session in the Tunnel inn with the Salt Slayers and Marie & Gunther.

They mention that they are planning to go to Drusk to try to get Long Neck back, but they are worried that the diplomatic way won't work. They still have a Sending Stone with 2 charges for us if they need help.

Alejandro then recommends we go to another large open area far away from the king’s watch. Area called the Open Pearls which is a casino and brothel.

Aurelius looks for shady people, but theres not really anyone around. The salt slayers and gunther and marie all invite us to sit with them. We all order drinks and Rina introduces herself to Rivo - the Half-Elf in their party. She said she doesnt know anything about her dad - who was her elf parent. Her mom had traveled to a far away continent and met an elf. She loved him, but he didn't want to invest in her or their daughter due to their short lives.  
She comments on how most people die young here, and also finds comfort in castle frey. Rina recommends she meet Darrian as he is also part elf.

We all decide to play Liars Dice and all have to put in at least 100g to play. Rina plays, Alice puts in 100 for each her and Kin. Aurleus also puts some down, and each of the other 2 parties - fearsome 5 and salt slayers - all kinda played together. Total was 700 gold, a dagger, and a piece of Oara SlateGlass. Alice ultimately won the game for us all, and was planning on taking all the gold. She did give Kin the SlateGlass, She gave Rina and Aurleus their 100g back, and she gave rina the Golden Ruby Dagger after rina got salty.

Alice has an extra few drinks with Alejandro and he really likes her. But she did not want to make it romantic.

Kin asked Oara if he is on the right path. She shows him a vision of Therius and said he’s a friend.

Rina feels annoyed that she just can't make herself enjoy the brothel. Then goes to bed
Rina writes to Enoch Agronoch telling him what research she's done. She details things from the Bolgroth Book that make her wonder if Garrison Bolgroth is the rightful king. but she says she plans to try to speak to Therius to get his insight.
Signed:
Yours,
Rina

She then burns it with the Frost-Flame as Prestidigitation to send it to him.
She hopes this is enough to make him feel satisfied. even with the Contract loosened up, Rina is still uneasy about him and his expectations.

Day 5 / 14 of the 2 weeks of diplomatic immunity
