The party loot the corpses of the people foolish enough to try and murder them last week before deciding they should probably start heading back.
Murmei, meanwhile, discovers that the owner of the Silent House (my notes for this session are really thorough, the previous sessions are scant at best, so don't look at me) lives in Ravenia. That's the same kind of area where his family's lands are.
He then decides to look and see if he can find any information about his beloved's family. Turns out one of them live in Thistlehold, and the place where we went in a previous session and saw monogrammed chairs had one that matches this person: RG. Do we really need further evidence that the Garlaka family are shady as fuck, though?
Seeing as how no one's come to pick him up, he's eventually thrown out of the Queen's Legate when they have to close for the night. Elsiosi intercepts him on the way home, and wonders what he's doing out alone late at night on dangerous streets. He pointed out he's a skilled adventurer, whereas she is a lady and should definitely not be out alone at night, so he escorts her back to her inn. Instead of coming upstairs for a drink, he bid her a good evening and stomped off back home to sleep.
In the night, the rest of the party return. In the morning, it turns out that the copper tablet contains the Prophecy of Sarkomal. Something about a woman on a throne. No one can make heads nor tails of this.
We go to look at Anadea the Templar's house, now that I believe she's no longer alive. There's a malnourished young mare cat in the box. Deadorna feeds it and decides to make it a pet while the others search the rest of the room.
There's a mysterious note and a map of what appears to be some kind of underground system. There's a sedative potion and some kind of reddish truffle-looking thing, but it's far too rare and advanced for Alchemy Novice Elindra to be able to identify.
“And the rest of you were trying to be murdered.”
“We were fighting valiantly!”
Deadorna as a kotka: “Old man said Book Lady can have tablets. Do I need to eat Book Lady?”
Deadorna as kotka: “Book Lady looks gristly. Book Lady get stuck in teeth. Will eat Book Lady if needed.”
“Me eat her too! Me not mind!”
Player 1: “Shady bastards!”
GM: “They are old war heroes.”
Player 2: “Shady bastards.”
GM: “How long are the rest of you sleeping?”
Player 1: “I can wake you up when September ends?”
Player 2: “Oh, nice Green Day reference!”
Murmei: “It’s a prophecy.”
Elindra: “And what’s that?”
Murmei: “It’s like a thing that predicts the future in a cryptic way?”
“See? I remembered the compass before we got there!”
“Sorry, shouldn’t have laughed like a maniac there, but …”
“Why do I always end up playing a Druid?”
To be continued!
