Journal Entry - 02/25/20

Lorelei wrote a letter about what a piece of shit Otto is and accused him of killing her retrospectively if she was ever found dead.

Akmenos came out of the room with more letter than Santa brings presents on New Year's Eve. Rhak urges Zakmenos and Mishal to reconvene with Hal because he's definitely doing something more interesting. On the way out Akmenos gets mugged by the head mistress who's flustered with the pressure of her job. He offers her one of his most valuable possessions, one of his winning smiles ;) This convinces her to lead them to Otto who is no longer alive.

Sabine, the head mistress, leads the rest of the party to Hal and Avarra. Sabine spills her guts about some really incriminating shit, the four kids tried to poison Sebastian and get caught in the act and the law of retribution was enacted. Their deaths were justified, tit for tat, motherfucker. Mishal has a mental breakdown and burns down the house. Rhak takes Mishal out of the house over his shoulder and Hal puts out some fires with Druidcraft.

Rhak sounds reassuring and overprotective and LORELEI TOTALLY BUYS IT LOLOLOL!!! She tells us to go fetch her daughter so they can flee the scene and all their valuables, omg what a sucker. She tells us to meet her at Gareth who we apparently know from the Undercity.

We head over to the Stenum's to fetch...Lorelei's...daughter? Avarra quickly and efficiently takes care of that. We take everyone to the Undercity and convince the Underlord to pay twice as much as he owes us (cha-ching). Better scoot!

We go there and talk to Gareth about Evee and convinced him to pay us TEN platinum and give us an Undercity ring. He gives us his protection and we join the order of the black tear. He gladly offers us his uncomfortable concrete floor. Ecstatic with our good fortune, we move on to shop at the flee market where Rhak goes to ask about the black magic stones he bought from the mojo vendor. Avarra starts asking the mojo vendor for other fun trinkets and is told about a board game that sounds like Jumanji or something.

Hal goes to bed

EIGHT DAYS UNTIL ARMY INVASION!!!

Everyone elses contines to browse the magical wares, the mundane wares, the pixie steak wares. There's a cute little shop with an imp guy who sells magical meats like normal people sell cow and pig, lol. He was selling like pixie wings and dryads fur and unicorn horns and dragons blood.

Rhak and Mishal go to check out the weapon vendor who has nice looking weapons, not terrible, very good quality, not A-uh quality.

Unamused, Rhak goes to look for books about barbarians and finds:

one book with weird markings in the wrong language

necromancy

Calling the elements

history books

old tomes that don't matter anymore

steamy romance novels

shipping lanes

We decided to let a rat guide us to a safe sleeping place. When everyone else goes to sleep and Rhak begins his watch, he uses a professional disguise kit to...put on a goofy ass mustache.

Mishal knits some stockings and then the night ends
