A Very Productive Session - April 5, 2024

 - Stuart as guest!

- Dice kitten

- Once they land in Mistverge, Osiris and Russell immediately go to bed since they did a 24 hour spell in Wistaria.

- Theophania spends 3 hours using some of Raiàn's scale to make them a Scroll of Sending.

- Raiàn Sends to Sunny, "Bro, things went fast here. I'm coming with friends to acquire the bay. Can meet your associate from Pradak near the summer palace."

- Sunny, "Huh, what are you talking about? I don't have an associate. Maybe your associates can gather the sticks you need."

- Theophania visits the Callie's boardinghouse to get the materials she requested to do scrolls for Jinora, and then spends the rest of the day making two Scrolls of Sending and one of Lesser Restoration for her. 

- Once Osiris wakes up she checks in with Birel, who says that nothing new bad has happened.

- She then updates Rowan about what happened in Wistaria. 

- Rusty interrupts Tiff's scroll making to ask about upgrading his axe, but she thinks it would take about a week, but she promises to think about it for him.

- Tiff delivers the scrolls and the scraps of materials left-over to Jinora

- The next morning everyone (the group plus Tina, no Russell) meets at the temple and Raiàn teleports them to the "summer palace" where she spent summers as a kid

- The group materializes in the courtyard of a large two-story manor house. 

- The group stand around discussing what to do when the door opens and another dragonborn woman comes out to ask what's going on. She is Margaret.

- Osiris asks Margaret if she knows where bay trees are, but she doesn't so they go to the kitchen to ask the chef. 

- Apparently Sunny cut all the bay trees on the grounds down because "it was too shady around here" so they'll have to walk a few days south along the cost to get to a grove

- The chef gives them a little snack of bread with garlic and olive oil for dipping before they head out.

- Raiàn lets Margaret know that she and her friends are heading out to look for bay trees, so the rooms aren't a high priority

- They walk out of the walls and are confronted directly by the ocean which is only a few hundred feet away.

- While, Osiris, Lyrielle, and Theophania frolic with their first site of the ocean and play in the waves, Rusty Communes with Nature. 

- Rusty learns there are a few shoots of bay trees around the house, but there is also something maybe two miles down the coast.

- Rusty learns there are no powerful elements within 3 miles of their location.

- Rusty learns there are no influences from other planes of existence within 3 miles of their location.

- Osiris plays a prank on Tina who doesn't appreciate it.

- They finally start walking in the direction of the tree Rusty sense.

 

- 2,500 XP ea for 137,800 XP total ea.

Fight for Your Right to Party (or you know, not to live in slavery or whatever) - March 15, 2024

 - Complimentary dinosaur

BATTLE AT THE DISEASE CATHEDRAL

- Osiris casts Sleep on 8 of the ten enslaved peasants who are attacking at the behest of the evil priests

- Brother Michael (BrM) morphs into a demon with five horns and five glowing red eyes and six arms and he makes eyes at Osiris and he fires a dark burst of energy at her for 18 force dmg

- Rusty Rages and run forward 40' and readies an attack if one of the priests gets near enough

- Raiàn studies BrM and determines that he probably immune to psychic dmg and other other mind stuff and probably so she casts Chain Lightning on him and Brother Francis (BrF) for 34 lightning dmg ea.

- BrF casts a spell and he is now casting by a shimmering globe.

- BrM blinks out of existence and re-appears near (10') Osiris and reaches out a giant stretched out arm to her and casts something vampiric so he deals 23 necrotic dmg to her and heals some amount of HP (less than 23 we have been assured).

- The two awake peasants run for their lives.

- Lyrielle moves forward and readies an attack if BrF gets near enough

- Russell shouts "I will fell you foul demon!" and darts over to BrM and slices into him for 19 slashing dmg then again for 10 dmg

- BrM reaches down and backhands Russell for 18 bludgeoning dmg and Russell is knocked prone

- Tina does a test Magic Missile, but it is absorbed by the shield on BrF

- Theophania casts Haste on Russell, readies her Healing Bonk on a Rope of Climbing and then backs up next to Tina

 

- Osiris casts Dispel Evil and Good on herself and then she backs up a bit. She studies BrM and decides he's moderately charismatic

- BrM casts a beam of dark energy at Raiàn for 16 force dmg and then again for 17 force dmg

- Rusty darts up to BrF slices him for 17 slashing and then misses

- Raiàn casts Cone of Cold on BrM so that they won't hit Russell for 21 (10) cold dmg

- BrF grabs Rusty with Shocking Grasp for 19 (9) lightning dmg and no reactions for Rusty then he runs toward his partner in crime

- BrM glares at Rusty who just chopped BrF and Rusty takes 40 psychic dmg and Rusty is Frightened until the end of his next turn.

- The two peasants who are awake continue running (one dives into lake and starts swimming)

- Lyrielle darts up to BrF and misses punching him then kicks him for 13 bludgeoning dmg 

- Russell casts a Channel Divinity healing Osiris and Raiàn for 8 HP after standing up, then slices at BrM three times for a total of 60 dmg

- Tina tries to casts Telekinesis on BrF, but the sheid eats her spell. She curses in Elven.

- Tiff moves next to Osiris and hands her a Elixir of Healing, then casts Dispel Magic on the shimmery sphere around BrF and it crumbles. She hollers to Tina, "It's okay. Try again!"

- Osiris Misty Steps next to BrM then moves around to flank him with Russell then she then smashes him with her warhammer for 4 bludgeoning and 8 radiant dmg then she smacks him again for 

- BrM blinks out of existence and re-appears way behind Rusty away from everyone

- Rusty dashes up to BrF flanking with Lyrielle and slices into him for 15 slashing dmg and BrF explodes killing all but one of the sleeping villagers and dealing 55 necrotic dmg to Lyrielle, 27 necrotic dmg to Russell, and Rusty takes 13 necrotic dmg, BrF is disintegrated along with all those villagers.

- Raiàn casts a 7th level Fireball on BrM for 33 fire dmg and she also breaks a window and there's now a bit glass stuck in one of his five horns

- BrM locks eyes with Raiàn and they take 51 psychic dmg and they are Frightened of BrM until the end of R's net turn

- Lyrielle moves to BrM and punches him for 13 bludgeoning and then kicks him for 13 bludgeoning dmg and then again for 13 bludgeoning and then one more time for 16 bludgeoning dmg

- Russell runs at quadruple speed to flank BrM with Lyrielle shouting "Taste my steel, demon!" and strikes into BrM three times for a total of 36 total dmg. Brother Michael is

 

-Tiff sprays her feet with her Water Walk stuff and then goes after the swimming person so they don't drown, but uses her broom to catch up right at first.

- Osiris wakes up the only sleeping villager left, and tries to comfort him, but it doesn't go great.

- The swimming villager basically faints as soon as they get back to shore, so Tiff hands him over to Rusty and goes after the villager who ran more inland.

- Rusty takes the swimmer with the sleeper into town

- Osiris casts Sending to Thomas, "So we killed the demons. You want to come into town and help us figure out what the hell to do next?"

- Thomas, "I can't believe they're gone. I'll meet you at the Spiral Duck."

- Tiff finds the runner and tells him the good / bad news, and gives him some tea.

- She then joins her friends and the sleeper tells them that there were more workers inside, so Tiff flies back to release them from their servitude and back to their lives

- Osiris feeds people and gets Raiàn to add some extra flavor with Prestidigitation.

- After re-uniting the community, Osiris and Tiff go back to the construction site and investigate the store room the brothers' were keeping and they find a few barrels of food (like salted meats), a barrel of incense (probably to consecrate the temple once construction was complete), two barrels of and like five barrels of viscera that is mostly human, but also a little bit animal.

- Tina uses Create bonfire to cremate those barrels, but she vomits because the smell is so bad.

- The next morning Theophania uses the spell Fabricate to level the temple (the stone and wood and earth bleed through this process, so Osiris uses control water to wash the blood away as this is happening) and then she builds some simple stairs up to a flat area over the foundation of the desecrated space, and then builds a simple cross in the middle with simple carvings of all the names of the people that the evil brothers killed in the process. Any wood from the structure is made into simple benches around the foundation.

- Lyrielle between the memorial and the benches creates some Zen garden resting areas.

- Then Osiris, Russell, and Thomas Consecrate the new memorial (24 hours of meditation and burning incense).

- Once all that is done, Tina Teleport Circles everyone back Mistverge.

- Waiting in Osiris's room once she gets there is a large urn full of the needed spores.

- The current inventory stands at 105/160 flasks of holy water, all the Life Everlasting Flowers needed, all the sage stalks needed, all the Heal-All roots needed, all the Moonwort spores needed, and still needing the bay leaves and branches.

- 5,000 XP ea for 135,300 XP total ea.

A Terrifying Meeting - March 8, 2024

 - Mountains with dragon

- The old man does not want to be involved, but he does say that Thomas Potnam lives in a house on the other side of the lake.

- Tiff returns to her friends and they eat stew and have some beer 

- Tina is really skeeved out by Wistaria because it's too quiet.

- Tiff talks about how forests are still creepier, and tells the story about how she was chased and tackled by a sheepdog when visit her cousins' farm and she thought it was going to chew her nose off

- They set off after their lunch and start the about four hour walk to get to Thomas Potnam's house.

- They decide to make camp near his house since the magic users used some pretty high level magic before or during travel much to the chagrin of Rusty and Russell

- Lyrielle takes some elixirs from Tiff to help her out and then heads off to scout Mr. Potnam's house

- The house has boarded up windows and the area is unnaturally quiet near it.

- She sneaks up and peeks into the window and she's a lone dude eating a meal of a simple stew and some hard, dry bread. His clothes are worn and ragged. The room has a hearth and a small bed and his chair.

- Before she goes to sleep for the night, Osiris casts Legend Lore on Morgion and has a vision where she sees that in his domain he lives in a bronze tower at the edge of the abyss. Followers of Morgion spread pestilence and disease. She understands that he is interested in the decay of all things from the level of the individual to whole societies. He is opposed to anything healthy, wholesome, or painless. He believes you must be strong to survive and to survive you must suffer. Everywhere he goes there is plague and horror. He remains apart and isolated from the other gods.

- Russell snores very loudly in his sleep.

- Tiff passes out chamomile and Valerian tea and wax (for your ears).

- Once they wake up and sort themselves out, they go to the house and everyone except Tiff "hides" (Lyrielle is the only one who succeeds at hiding), and Tiff knocks on the door.

- Mr. Potnam is terrified and slams the door in her face, then when Tiff knocks again, the door flies open and a much larger being with a mace flings the door open and glares menacingly.

- The rest of the party starts to draw weapons, but Tiff just starts monologu0ing about all the good Mishakal does in the world and they will not go away until this problem is taken care of.

- Turns out the giant person who has inhabited Mr. Potnam's body is Nabair, warrior Kiri-Joleth. The symbol over the door is intended to bar entry to the followers of Morgion.

- Kiri-Joleth is the lawful good god of honor and war.

- Osiris casts Detect Evil and Good, and Nabair is definitely a celestial.

- Raiàn and Lyrielle can see around Nabair and the back door is open and Mr. Potnam has run.

- Tiff flies up in the air and sees Thomas running through a semi-distant copse of trees. She starts flying in that direction. Lyrielle also starts heading in that direction.

- Tiff talks him down and convinces him to come back to his little house and chat, though he does nearly have a heart attack when she flies up next to him on the broom.

- Thomas Potnam isn't personally plagued by demons, but the whole town of Wistaria is plagued by demons.

- Mr. Potnam was a teacher / scholar in the little church to Kiri-Joleth in town and a few years ago some new priests showed and started slowly changing things until they basically ran things and now they are building a much larger temple to Morgion.

- Tiff sketches a quick map of the lake and gets a vicinity from Thomas.

- The priests are Brother Michael, tall and thin with dark hair

- Another one is Brother Francis, slightly shorter with reddish hair

- Both are human in appearance at least.

- Tiff gives Thomas some tea as a parting gift to help him sleep (since he's so nervous), and they start walking back around the lake.

- They all agree this time to use Tiff's Walk Walk spray (ritually cast, but flavored for artificer), and it saved them some time

- The plan is that Russell and Rusty and Osiris will lead the way and call for the brothers Michael and Francis and start punching.

- The plan is followed, with Russell giving a very grandiose call for them to come forth.

- The tall one tells them to begone and the short one says "Remove them." and the people who are building the cathedral charge the group.

- We start next week by rolling initiative.

Teleportations and a Plan - March 1, 2024

 - Pink hoodie with cow face

- Osiris comes and asks Tina if she could teleport the group to Wistaria and Tina says maybe 

- Tiff does a Sending to Lord McNabb to ask if he has anything from Wistaria that they could borrow, but he does not.

- Osiris goes to check the library to see if there are any books from there

- Tiff takes Tina to the Groundswallow General Store to ask if they have anything from the Traveling Caravan that might have come from Wistaria.

- Over the earrings Osiris asks if anybody else had been to Wistaria, and Tiff suggests maybe Rusty can check in the history museum he's been selling Dwarven artifacts to.

- Osiris then goes and makes 17 more vials of holy water

- Tiff's parents and brother don't know if they have anything from Wistaria in the store because they don't track that sort of thing. She then casts Rope Trick so that Tina can play with her nieces and Vera and Bree and then Tiff visits with her family a little bit.

- Tina and Tiff then walk to the boarding house to say hi there as well, and so that Tiff can introduce Tina to Jinora.

- Jinora does not return in time to meet Tina that evening, so Tiff sends to her to ask if she might want to come, and she says sure.

- Raiàn and Tiff and Tina make a plan for Tina to use the circle to get them to Arrandale and then for Raiàn to teleport them from there to Wistaria, so that the mishap possibility will be smaller, since Arrandale is about 60% of the way to Wistaria from Mistverge.

- Osiris gets up as earlier as elven-ly possible, and she casts Scry on Thomas Potnam. She sees a human man in his thirties (ish). He looks disheveled and unkempt. He's staggering around the outside of a modest cottage with boarded-up windows. He's doing chores, like weeding the garden or feeding the chickens something. He seems very paranoid. It's overcast, and it looks like it might be chilly. There is a talisman over the door into the house made of bones with symbols painted around the talisman. Osiris takes notes on the talisman. Not far away from the house there is a thick copse of tree and in the other direction there is the lake and what presumable the town of Wistaria is not-quite the other side of the lake, but definitely around the bend a good bit.

- Her next activity is that she casts Legend Lore on Thomas Potnam, but nothing pops because he is not of legendary importance.

- Then before people start showing up she goes and fills in Birel on their latest task.

- She shows him her sketch of the talisman and the symbols, but he doesn't know anything about it.

- She then goes to the library to see if she can find anything about the symbols. In a book about religious symbology, she thinks they have something to do with Morgion, the god of disease and secrecy whose domain is death.

- Tiff has to come get Osiris out of the library so that Tina can get them all to Arrandale.

- Tina then teleports eight people (the PCs plus Jinora, Russell, and herself) to the academy of magic and they arrive in an open room with red, green, and gold banners and a bustling square full of mostly elves, but there are also humans, and some other of a few races.

- Tina takes them straight to Sharai's office who offers to teleport them to Wistaria.

- Tiff offers to Mend something for her before they are sent off. There's a faint look of nostalgia on her face before Sharai hands Tiff a book with a damaged spine. 

- After another quick teleport, they are standing in the town square (with a dry fountain) of presumably Wistaria. It is chilly and the fountain is dry. There are no people here. It is weirdly quiet. Tiff casts Death Ward on

- They decide to do some information gathering before just heading out.

- Tiff walks into the nearest shop that happens to be a small apothecary and asks about Thomas Potnam, any weird happenings around town, and then tells her about the Groundswallow Traveling Tinkers and Traders and how that's her family, and then buys a few Moonwort spores for 1 GP, so at least now she has a sample.

- The apothecary says that the only inn in town is the Spiral Duck on the north side of town near the lake, so they head that direction.

- They head to the inn, and there's one old man in the corner sitting at a table sipping a drink of some kind, and there's a barkeep in his 50s.

- They order food and drinks, and Osiris tells them all the things she did and saw this morning.

- While waiting for their food to arrive, Tiff heads over to the older man in the corner

1-800-Mishakal - February 23, 2024

- Long May He Reign

 

 - They collect 126 lbs of powdered silver from the floor of this room.

- That's about 18 lbs per critter, so they only need to kill 37 more to get all the silver they need.

- Osiris takes a handful of the silver powder into her hand and prays that Mishakal multiply the powdered silver by 7 to make the amount that they need for all the holy water for the Elixir of Divine Release

- The room fills to the level of Rusty's chin and Tiff is completely buried in powdered silver.

- Tiff just opens her bag of holding and funnels enough down into it that she can swim / climb up enough to breath.

- Rusty who had stuck his head back in the portal and shouted with a Tongues spell from Raiàn to ask if there was anything sentient in here then when he comes back out Osiris is in prayer and he's buried in powdered silver.

- A icicle-like arm comes out and Osiris dispells the portal.

- Osiris Sends to Rowan to let her know Tiff is coming

- Tiff casts a quick Rope Trick and dumps everything that isn't powdered silver from the Bag of Holding into the extra-dimensional space created and then goes back down and fills the BoH to the brim (500 lbs worth) then she climbs on her Broom of Flying and goes out the window Rusty opens for her.

- While en route she Sends to Lord McNabb, "Hey, we don't need that silver any more. We've got it covered. Thanks! Bye!"

- He responds, "Glad you have what you need. We'll likely have some extra if you change your mind."

- She makes another trip and then puts her BoH back to it where it was before all this. The whole process took maybe 45 minutes.

- They go downstairs and everything in the parlor is also coated in a fine dusting of silver powder. They give Callie about a 1 lb (a 5 GP value!) bag of the stuff since they keep encouraging Magnus to try new things. She could sell it to the mint or a silversmith or a jeweler for coins.

- Osiris (and a chattering Tiff) stops by the Temple to Habbakuk to ask for Rosemary's help when she has free time to help make holy water.

- When they get back to the Temple of Mishakal, they hear, "There she is!"

- They turn and see Tina with a very tall, broad-shouldered human man in heavy chainmail armor with a glittering cloak flowing behind him.

- The stranger approaches and declares himself to be Russell Santiago and he is hear to aid the High-Priestess Osiris of Mishakal brought here by her emissary. He somehow believes that

- Tiff shows Russell to a guest suite chattering to him about how excited she is to see a new kind of divine magic and how she came up with her plan for the Elixir.

- Tina chatters to Osiris about her adventures tracking down Russell.

- Osiris then has some food and a bath and then spends four hours creating 11 flasks of holy water with her remaining spell slots before she collapses into her bed to trance.

- A long rest is had!

- Osiris has a conversation with Marta about being called "High-Priestess" by Russell, and Marta is pretty indifferent to her having that title.

- Osiris explains again to Russell about the dragon and the soul-crystals and the elixir and he is somewhat annoyed about not being able to just run straight out and battle a dragon. No, he has to sit around for a few days and use magical energy to brew holy water.

- Tiff takes Tina and shows her the portal to the desert. She does not have any new ideas for how to help the patients with the weird magical throat algae.

- Osiris then goes to get fancier (and not hole-y robes) from Norman now that she's a High-Priestess.

- Osiris Sends to Thessalie, "Hope this finds you well. I'm about to beseech Arathal for a plant thanks to Tiff. What can you tell me about them?"

- Osiris then feels warm and tingly. "He's pretty important. I've never met him. Good luck sweetie."

- Osiris then in her shiny new embroidered robes and casts Planar Ally requesting a meeting with Arathal. He is a large celestial with finger-like wings without webbing and bony spikes coming out of his shoulders.

- Osiris asks for 10 lbs of Moonwort spores, and Arathal requests that she release a man to the east who is tormented by demons. The man resides in a small house near the lake. Arthal will know when the deed is done as they are watching.

- Tiff takes Tina to the forest and brings another 1 lb of powdered silver to give to Elidar as a thank you for his help.

- Russell has created 7 flasks of holy water when Rusty shows up to introduce himself to the newcomer.

- They chat for a bit about their weapons and how to battle an ancient black dragon. Rusty invites him to visit the boarding house for tea. Their lovely himbo conversation ends with a forearm handshake.

- After Osiris settles herself she Sends to Thessalie, "Do you know anything about a man plagued by demons in a small house near a lake to the east? Can you give any details?"

- Thessalie responds, "Could be Thomas Potnam. He's near Wistaria."

- Osiris then goes to consult with Russell and now he has made 17 potions.

- She tells him about Arthal's ask, and he's willing to come help with the demons(?)

- 2,800 XP ea. for 124,300 XP total ea.

Magnus Can Do Great Things, But Not on Purpose #NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaRusty - February 16, 2024

- The next morning, Raiàn sends to her cousin Sunny, "I need two trader's carts full of bay tree branches rested in water to retain life. Meet Jinora in one week at Dwarven Outpost Teleport Circle."

- Sunny responds, "Raiàn, such a weird request. Bay only grows on the coast or maybe at the Turquoise Pool. This going to take more than a week."

- Tiff wakes up to a knock at the door and there's an acolyte saying she has a visitor, and it's a young human boy with a note from Callie saying, "Please come help. I think Magnus has summoned a ghost."

- Tiff uses her earring to contact the group from the various places they are around the Temple and they head in the direction of the boarding house.

- When they arrive, Callie and Magnus are sitting quietly in the parlor waiting for them.

- Magnus says that he was trying to summon things (like food and silver) and he thinks he accidentally created some kind of portal

- There is indeed a halfing-sized ghost-looking silvery translucent creatures floating around the room and the window across from the door is a blue-silvery portal. It looks like a small child wearing a a sheet.

- Tiff takes one step into the room and the ghost creature shoots a little slightly stingy bullet of energy at her and another ghost creature comes through the portal.

The Exploration of Options #BottomOfTheBarrelOptions - January 19, 2024

 - Sports sweatshirt over cat dice

 

- After a few hours, Theophania finds her way to the stone circle deep in the woods northwest of the city of Mistverge. She approaches the circle making sure she isn't disrupting any active magical workings, and then just calls out asking if there are any druids here. Then she sits and waits.

 

- Meanwhile back in Mistverge, Osiris tells Rusty about the messages to Tina, then she does a sending to Jimmy the smuggler, "Jimmy? Are you alive? We need help and it might be a business opportunity for you."

- He responds, "Who is this? What kind of business opportunity?" 

- Osiris Sends again, "It's Osiris. Your best friend. We're in a predicament where we need to acquire a bunch of silver to save the city. You interested or know anyone who's interested in that kind of business venture?"

- He responds again, "You're asking about silver smuggling? Maybe I can help you. How much money do you have?"

- Osiris Sends again, "Yes, I personally have like 150 gold, but you'll be cutting into Lord McNabb's profits. If you're in town, this would be much easier."

- He responds again, "Yeah, I'm working for McNabb shipping, so it would all be coming out of his pocket anyway. 150 is nothing. Call me again when you're serious." 

- She decides not to waste any more spells on the Jimmy route and she and Rusty head back to the Temple of Mishakal.

- Osiris suggests Rusty ask Connie the Construct if he saw any silver deposits as he was tunneling his way through the earth.

- Rusty does so, but Connie is not a mining robot, and doesn't know anything about silver.

- Meanwhile back at the library, Raiàn and Lyrielle are killing time trying to find out things when they get a message from Osiris asking if anyone has heard from Tiff in the past few hours.

 

- That evening at the druid circle Tiff Sends to Tina, "Do you know if you can get or find Moonwort in Arrandale? Need it to try to free the trapped souls. Learn anything interesting lately?"

- Tina responds, "Mmmm, botany really isn't my thing, sorry. Also not in Arrandale right now, I'm on a quest to not kidnap Russell Santiago for Osiris." 

- Tiff Sends to Osiris, "Who is Russell Santiago?"

- Osiris responds, "You've talked to Tina. He's a paladin of Paladine. For the holy water, you know?"

- Tiff immediately moves on and Sends to Sharai, "Can you get or find 10 lbs of Moonwort spores? I've invented an elixir to free the trapped souls in Agonir's hoard. Thank you!"

- Sharai responds, "Moonwort doesn't really grow here. More likely near Wistaria or Ambani. Also 10 lbs of spore is fucking insane. That must be a crazy potion."

- Tiff starts talking to an owl who turns out to be an elven druid named Elidar who is reluctant to help a city dweller as he views the city and technology as a corruption of nature.

- Tiff manages to convince Elidar that if she brings him seeds he will grow them to the point where she can harvest the flowers.

- Tiff then flies straight up until she can see the twinkle of the lights in Mistverge and gets home without running into any bats (a worry since she's never flown at night before).

- Meanwhile, Osiris asks Rowan if she knows an transmutation wizards? She does not.

- Jinora is still in town, so they ask her if she knows any transmutation wizards, but she does say she could maybe help gather some things. They consider asking her to go for the bay trees in the west near Raiàn's family's lands.

- Tiff hands Raiàn a Scroll of Sending (since that's what they came to the boarding house to do in the first place when they ran into Jinora) and from there heads to the General Store. She manages to get 100SP and some silver flatware for the cause.

- Osiris goes to Norman and gets 500SP in exchange for 50GP, and also a small bag of Life-Everlasting seeds for Tiff to take to Elidar.

- Rusty also plants the idea of transmuting other materials into silver into Magnus's head.

 

- 3,000 XP ea. for 118,500 XP total ea.
