Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Legildur]

I'll be away for a few days and unlikely to have net access. RA, can you please NPC Blunt in the meantime. Most of the action is likely to be with Kel in any case as he gathers information for us to use.

 

[Boddynock]

Got caught up in all the Christmas busyness, so I'm just bringing all the purchases up to date now.

Rations 31 gp
Leather Armor 20 gp
Dagger 2 gp
Oil (4 flasks) 4 sp
50ft rope 1 gp
arrows (40) 2 gp

That's a total of 56 gp 4 sp.

That means we have 43 gp 6 sp 4 cp in party funds.

Someone else - Blunt? - can carry the rope, Shan has the leather armor, Sulannus has the arrows, Kel will take the dagger and another flask of oil, which leaves 3 flasks of oil for others to lay claim to. By the time we get to the city, all the rations will be gone, I guess.

By the way, I've checked character sheets, and Titus only speaks Abyssal. I thought he was going to teach Kel to read Elven and Draconic - looks like he'll have to ask Sulannus for tuition in those languages!

RA, given that she's prepared to spend some time with him (and he'll learn from anybody who offers to teach him - he's hungry for knowledge), how long will it take for Kel to develop literacy?

Hmm...well, he's got pretty good Int--Let's just say he's a fast learner and picked up the skills during time spent on the trip

Thanks 'Nock. I've updated Blunt's character sheet to take the rope and one flask. He is, however, well under his encumbrance threshold, so is happy to carry a little more gear if it will relieve somone of an undesirable encumbrance restriction.

Sweet!

 

[Legildur]

Hogwarts! I've not got any insight into what other threads to follow.

Except it may be useful to investigate whether there have been kidnappings here?

 

[Shayuri]

Except that the kidnappings in the other town seem to have been aberrations on the part of the mage there?

I dunno.

I feel like we must be missing something, but I'm just not seeing it.

 

[Legildur]

Do you wall want to contribute to the list of things that Blunt needs to research?

I'll try and trawl through the IC thread later... but there are a 1000 messages there... so any help would be appreciated.

Well, Night's Embrace in general. Ways they were defeated in the past (weaknesses, etc). Possible information about their rituals which might allow us to uncover members in the city.

I'd say also info on the princess might be helpful, and about the details of her upcoming ceremony (these might or might not intersect with information about the ritual Night's Embrace are looking to attempt).

 

[Legildur]

Sorry RA! I didn't realise that Blunt was already in the Library beavering away..... I thought we were all still together...
