Scribe Notes

Winter 819

Archaeological Expedition

We meet up in guild meeting room 4 and 3/4, I thought to myself who would name a room that.

We introduced ourselves to each other, whilst a member of guild security stood in a corner. After we had finished introducing ourselves, we were introduced to a Merchant from Arabi. His name was Jaffar, he was also the Arabi Ambassador for Seagate.

He informed us that the Lady of Graves and the Priests of Wati, would like to learn the history of the Necropolis in Wati, and that they are hiring adventuring parties to investigate the ruins and record what they find.

He told us the best way to travel there would be on his magic flying carpet, family sized of course. 70 feet by 70 feet in size. But we would have to wait for tomorrow as there is a storm outside. The storm was being summoned by the Heavy Metal concert.

We discussed Party Leader, Mil-Sci and Scribe, before setting out to prepare ourselves for the season. The entire party went to Aaron to get Greaters @ rank 14. Basilic was also in the guild and was offering free rank 20 lessers.

The following day, we proceeded to meet our employer on the guild’s airstrip. Where he was unrolling an enormous carpet, Aurora was there and handed him a sum of money, before clambering onto the Carpet. The rest of us wondered what she was doing and when asked she said it was the perfect day to skydive. We all got on the carpet and took off zooming into the air, the carpet acting much like a cloud.

Aurora jumped off at about 40,000 feet in the air. I proceeded to train Eugene in hand-axe and shield as he hadn’t had time to rank between adventures and we were supposed to be on the cloud for a week. About 2 days in we figured out there was going to be a storm, and Eldoran attempted to help us outrun it with a mage wind. Needless to say we got caught in it, and she was a rough one too.

I attempted to persuade one of the Necro’s to act as a lightning rod.

 “We need some lightning protection.” – Jaffar
 “Hey Eugene I have a job for you, take this sword.” – Sylvestor

We did also happen to see some Air elementals playing and before we could hide from them, they came swooping down towards us. They bounced off the reflective shield that the carpet came with. Merging into one they questioned us on why we were flying through their airspace. Our Air mage replied in kind that it was the fastest way to travel. To which they agreed, then complained that everyone used the air to travel and it annoyed them.

We then traded some perfumes and the stench of our Necro (who we assumed hadn’t washed in months and was a Necro so smelled like the dead) for the Elementals to get us out of the storm as fast as they could.

All up it only took us 5 days to arrive in Arabi, we were escorted inside Jaffar’s estate, an enormous mansion, and shown to our wing, that’s right not rooms, an entire wing was dedicated to us, we had our own servants, and everything. We put the Necro’s together because they both smelt bad, the Ladies shared a room, and the elves shared a room

We had a visit around the town for a bit and saw two other adventuring groups.
