Scribe Notes

Session 1

The Search For Ling: Night One:

I see some of my friends walking into a guild room so I assume that’s where I’m meant to go (I wasn’t listening because I had just had an interesting conversation with a pigeon outside).

We introduce ourselves although I’m fairly certain I’ve met them all except the one who is missing which turned out to be a new little friend called Spigot.

The party:
Me (Winter)(Air Mage elf)
Echelon (Celestial human)
Basil (Mind Mage halfling)
Moist (Water Mage halfling)
Storm (Air Mage halfling)
Spigot (Air Mage halfling)

Party Roles:
Cook - Spigot
Party Leader - Rocko represented by Basil
Scribe - Winter

Guild security walk in with a funny little balding man with crazy hair around his shiny bald patch. He’s holding a fascinating looking book with singed edges. He says his name is Darween.

He wants us to accompany us to find a creature called a ‘Ling’ (Not a bird so immediately I am disappointed). He says that like a half elf being half human and half elf, it ‘makes sense’ that if there’s a halfling then there should be a full ‘Ling’

“There are Ducklings… What Ling fucked the duck?” - Basil

He says he wants to find it because of ‘scientific curiosity’.

We’ll be starting in the Sea Of Grass, Geldapria. Darween has a contact that knows about some caves near the original halfling settlements.

I see that Storm wants to borrow-without-permission Darween’s notes so I try to help by distracting Darween with questions (See, I know all about scientific curiosity). It doesn’t work… Darween’s eyes never left storm and the book. He does let us peruse them though. The handwriting is somehow neat and messy at the same time and there are diagrams. Neither I or Storm can read it but I can identify it as a very old elvish called Eldaran

Darween says he also studies a being called Zurgo that he has never seen and talks to him in his head. I, also have conversations in my head so I understand… Though he insists its a real being. Zurgo only ever talks to him when he’s in his lab so he will not be coming which is very sad, I’d love to meet him.

Mission:
Find the ‘Ling’
Payment:
-Cost of greaters in four areas at rank 10. -10,000sp each -And much loot (At Zurgo’s request)


Echelon DAs Darween: Success
Aura Strength: Long Live Sentient
Question: Power Associated?
Answer: No answer

He says we will get to the Sea Of Grass by the Sweet Water River by a barge that Darween will hire for us.

We go to the market and get greaters and provisions.

We decide on Watches:
Watch 1 - Echelon and Spigot
Watch 2 - Winter and Storm
Watch 3 - Moist and Basil

We meet Darween the next day and board (Dinner the mule included). We set off.
