We are told that a guild members’ servant has grown some special mushrooms and is having some strange dreams about a man named ‘Booky Bob’. They show us a sketch of him… he seems… big and ugly… Like Koishi. They want us to go to the North Commons and take the shrooms, see what Booky Bob wants and how it relates to the shrooms. No one else has tried these mysterious shrooms…seems reasonable enough.
Payment:
- 42 20pt health potions
- 5000sp each
- Vouchers for resurrection services.
The next day we meet at the common. Vath asks what we want with our shrooms. I vote for flatbread (I gave most my breakfast to my raven, Echo… Storm says I shouldn’t but he likes it.).
We take the shrooms and start to feel woozy and dizzy and fun. As I steady, I see a ogre in front of me. He very rudely asks me “Who the fudge are you?” (He didn’t say fudge). He says he’s a drummer in the band… We’re at some kind of tavern called “The Cavern”.
There’s an orc lady called Lavinia he says we should talk to.
She takes us aside with her dire wolf friend. Lavinia says we’re in Big Smoke. She knows Booky Bob and what he may want. He has had contact with some fellow called the ‘Griffon rider’? Or the ‘Duke Of Thrones’? Anyway, this guy needs info and booky bob will pay us to get it. If we finish that then Lavinia may have jobs for us.
She says our resurrection vouchers offer us one free resurrection from Big Smoke healers and have no expiry. She gives us special dog tags so no one can own us… I hope mine counts for Echo too. She says when we're done we can either find her here or running the jail.
Booky Bob meets us at a table where me and Storm are drinking fun drinks that burn.
Mission: Booky Bob wants us to investigate that the throne guy thinks are pretending to be his followers, see who’s behind it and if/what demons are involved.
Payment: Cash, healing and special weapons.
Bob says we can impersonate anyone to get the job done except for the griffon guy. But he wants to make sure no one knows he’s onto them. We decide to have a look first before meeting him
Bob says to start looking near the Booze Barn but to avoid: Unworthy Aisle, the jungle and the royal palace. He gives us a stick matching one he as, that if we twist it, it will alert him so we can locate him
Vath requests a guide of the city so Bob calls for Smashit the goblin to take us to find somewhere to stay for the night.
Session 2
Night Two: The Borrowers
Smash-It takes us to stay somewhere around the Booze Barn.
As we walk I see guards above us and everyone seems to have an air of aggression.
We come to an apartment building. Some Orcs come outside, they seem fascinatingly angry. The more Vath talks to them, the angrier they got until they starting punching, Vath, Koishi and Yukov fight back… boys are so silly.
Storm grabs me by the hand and we bypass and go inside with Smash-It. He takes us to a room on the second floor and takes a key out of his… pocket… that he has… for some reason. He says he can be our guide tomorrow if we need. The others join us again saying they had a nice drink with the orcs that beat them up…. They’re so funny.
Storm sees there are many taverns near us so we come up with an elaborate ‘borrowing’ plan. YAY!
Our Plan:
Vath will; make Doc’s tricorn hat invisible (the one that makes orcs want to kick you like you’re a goblin) then use telekinesis to put it on someone’s head in the tavern across the street and while everyone is kicking them, the borrowers borrow.
Our Scheme Unfolds:
- Me and Storm innocently walk into the tavern, Yukov is there too.
- Koishi and Onyx pretend to be security (… maybe even taking entrance fees)
- A guy notices Storm and I and seems to suss out Storm as a person… he wisely leaves.
- Doc and Vath stay at our window as our fire support team.
- Vath picks a rowdy person and puts the hat on him.
- The whole tavern’s start to kick the guy while he fights back. Luckily Onyx and Koishi are able to resist the urge to join.
- Yukov and Storm start to borrow. And collect some loot, though Yukov gets hit.
- Me and Echo joyfully spectate… I love to watch Storm borrow
Suddenly a loud voice says something fierce… but calming. We flea. On the way back we see people on the sea wall, one with a spy glass and siege weapon pointed down the street.
Loot:
- Ring #1 with a design on (a circle with dashes around it and 3 horizontal lines next to it)
- Ring with a skull symbol.
- Daggers
- A sap
- Satchel (not trapped)
- Lock picks
- Flasks and vials
- Powdery substance
