He played Crissy D'Or, a female human sorcerer technologist.Session 9 (25-4-2022): A Deal with Nevard500 A.O.V., Summer, Day 27:00: In the morning, the group heads to the Thinking Man’s Tavern.8:00: Here they meet the owner, Tad Hilly. The tavern isn’t very full. There’s a group of musicians, with a ‘leader’ named Jered Lawman. A group of students from Pardwight University is also present, and Thames Grimsley sits in a corner. Galarin joins the musicians, who are highly critical of the king. They oppose industrialization and therefore view the upcoming alliance with Danor as a bad idea. Initially, they are suspicious of the RHC members, but Galarin manages to somewhat earn their trust. Meanwhile, another party member speaks with the tavern owner. He explains they are investigating Nilasa, but does not reveal that she is dead. Tad (the owner) mentions that Nilasa often came here with Braden and associated with the singers (he didn’t always understand what they were talking about, as they often spoke Elvish) and with people from the university. The group decides to move on.8:30: They head to Cloudwood to meet Nevard Sechim.10:30: On the way, they come across a cart containing a kidnapped woman (Morena). The cart is under attack by people from the forest, led by Renard Woodsman. The people in the cart look like they’re from the rough part of town. The group frees and rescues Morena. They find little information about the reason for the abduction. In gratitude, Renard takes them to Nevard.11:30: Nevard is an old, frail man, nearly on the brink of death. He wants to connect the group with Gale, but in return, he asks that they take him to the top of Cauldron Hill, so he can read the sky one last time. This is dangerous (the place is haunted), and they need permission from the mayor of the Nettles, Reed Macbannin. Nevard asks if they would use a bond or forced faith, allowing him to share in the group’s strength (damage to Nevard would be distributed among the participating characters). Galarin knows nothing about this spell (low arcana roll).12:00: They go to Reed Macbannin and his butler, Cillian Creed.14:00: At first, Cillian refuses to allow a meeting because the mayor is busy. The group presses on, and they’re allowed inside. Macbannin gives his permission. They can now go back to Nevard, pick him up, and return tonight to climb the mountain. They will receive protection from Macbannin.15:00: The group sets off to retrieve Nevard.<code class="bbCodeInline">By the way, the moment I mentioned there was a butler, Oskár's player said: "THE BUTLER DID IT!". Luckily he decided to stay in character (his character didn't suspect Cillian). But the player knew it all along.</code></blockquote>
