Day 38 (S28)

day 12 of the 2 weeks of diplomatic immunity - We intend to go back to the Sprite Light coven tomorrow.

Before we go see Sullivan Frey, Kin and Rina head to the ShapeSmithing college to talk to Drake. Drake was saddened to hear that Aurelius had died. He agreed to trade the remainder of Aurelius’s things (Longsword, etc.) for the Jarl mask / Dragon Mask that Rina had previously traded in for the Warlock Ring - now that we have learned that the Jarl is what the Twilight Coven Has Worries about, we figured we should probably learn more about it. Drake told us that the Vault in our house was now done. Rina commented “Wow… you’re good.” he responded “Yes… Very good” and winked at her. Kin starts to leave and Rina waves goodbye to Drake, he waved back.

We get to the King, and tell him also that Aurelius has died. But we offer the same exchange for playing Boulder, Parchment, Sheers. He agrees, but we were each to take a turn. Kin got a win, Rina got a tie, then a loss. Alice got a tie, then a loss. We gave him the armor, and he tells us that this means there’s another Dragon out there - and he could use this to find it. He said he had not done any adventuring in a long time, but may decide to do so if he can find this dragon. Rina tells him he’s welcome to travel with the Bound if he likes. She asked Frey why there was a town called Freyscar in the middle of The Kingdom of Bolgroth. He said that Pennislovica used to be much more of a warring nation compared to how they are now. They needed Bolgroth the stop attacking their people, so they made a mark on their land so they wouldn't forget. Rina asked how one person could make such a mark. He said he let his anger overtake his senses, and didn't want to talk more about it. Rina dropped it, and we were dismissed.

We were on our way back home, when we saw a new apothecary-looking building in the middle of what used to be an empty alley. Except, the building looked old and crumbling. Rina wanted to go inside, so Kin and Alice went in, too. Inside was an old woman, Matilda who just had hundreds of candles. Kin bought a random one, half burned down. She said she was rooting for us in the Witch contests to come, we said we were heading there tomorrow. She replied “Tomorrow? Today IS tomorrow. Tomorrow is today!” We were all confused, and left the shop. But when we exited, we were back in the area of the the Covens- this was a dimension door situation. It is now the next day - the day of the trials!
