Session Thirty-Six (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

Session 36 3 Dec 2014

All of us who are able to complete our training get trained.

We end up with over 905 gold each!

Finklemur trades the value of his training, which he can’t use for 3 identify spells and we learn that Thorfus “matrix” sword is +2 with some other undeciphered qualities. The two potions we have are clairvoyance and extra healing.

Brice tells us of her visions and Thorfus reveals the key and she confirms that it is the one in her vision. She says she will meditate on the meaning of the ABCDEFG.

The dragon orb we had briefly from the Kobolds is blue and not the fire in Brice’s visions. Brice is willing to help retrieve an ancient dwarven artifact. She says that she is to accompany us to Xen Kehl.

We learn that the bargemen watched our misdirected and actual inn, while we hid in the Lone Barrel Inn.

We finally learn a possible fate of Em. Supposedly she ran off with a young man and got married to Aubrey. Aubrey took up with Adman who also went by the name of Reynaldus. We have heard the name Reynaldus before, we think in Midmark….

Perrette shows up at the Lone Barrel, and hilariously, Finklemur casts darkness on him. He has a sealed letter from Lord Thornton, and Perrette fills in the gaps of our knowledge. the elections for Lord Mayor are at the same time as the elections in Vargen. Judge Grell is one of the candidates. Haldor is dead and his role in the slaving is not known and Grell is lifiting him up as a hero.

Perette is planning to go to Cargan to investigate “Grell’s Lambs” which we believe to be a euphemism for slaves.

We then hear that all the key people of the bargeman’s guild have descended on their fortified compound and Arman gets a promotion to their arms master, and Barnier showed up with the dragon ball.

Rotho & bargemen hiring mercenaries, but none of the attempted mercer plants can get in.

Flowernave, the boss of the ferry is in town too.

We then learn from Adelard that the kobolds sent an emissary to the mercer troops guarding the ford seeking to trade proof of the bargemens activity in the slave trade for the dragon ball.

Starchy’s Boyz also get their new S/B cloak clasps/medals, now that they are trying to lay low.

We decide that we need more information on the dragon ball and surmise that if we can get it, it will thwart some big plan of the bargemen. We learn that they are packing barges with enough equipment for some sort of expedition with very large size shackles, for a dragon??

Our plan is for Perrete and Brice to grab a teamster, or other person who has access to the bargemen compound to see what we can learn.

We want to do both get the dragon ball and investigate Grell’s Lambs in Cargan, how well our investigators do at gathering information will determine our next course of action.
