Notes
- A dead body on the floor outside our house!
- Brody found a letter with a stamp from the capital.
- The letter seeks aid in the Siege of Trichor. The Oracle has had a prophecy about a group of adventures who are destined to put an end to the siege. The letter describes people in the party, specifically describing all of us, bar Foreman.
- The Siege has been going on for around 10 years. The city is famously un-siegable, even ending up in popular culture and idioms.
- Achanics from beyond the ocean are the ones doing the siege, very at one with the ocean. Rumoured to have gills.
- Started by a petty squabble when the Prince of Trichor stole the wife of a ruling Achanics.
- We met Dakk Madaxe, who is also mentioned in the prophecy.
- We said our goodbyes and left to travel to Trichor.
- We stopped at the Dabbling Duck Inn. An extortionate (like, absolutely insane daylight robbery) tourist trap that charges insane prices for simple food and a meal.
- We met Pratt the Sea Elf. Who is writing a book about the journey from source to sea. We persuaded him to not wade the river, instead walking by the side of the river to avoid the crocodiles.
- We also met Captain Quinn who was taking us to Trichor via barge, killing a lot of crocodiles during the journey.
- We met a blind biographer who was also here on a prophecy, he told us more about the siege, which primarily seems to be a war between various gods.
- We arrived at Trichor!
- We met Eschon, the gate guard.
- He told us that the Oracle gives prophecies to both sides of the war and resides in a temple in the "middle ground" of the war zone.
- They've had many prophecies made, some of them partially come true but the gods keep intervening before they fully come true.
- It is very hot here, and very cool in the shade.
- For a split second, we saw a group of people in blindfolds.
- They are Clefites, dissenters who are working against the Achanic princess, Lendora.
- They wear blindfolds because she is so hot and are working to try and end the war, outside of the powers that be.
- We arrived at the court to meet the Prince.
- Very agricultural vibes.
- Lots of pools of water and people gazing very contemplatively into the pools. It keeps them cool and they are sacred pools, not normal to drink from them.
- The court was meeting and it didn't seem great. They are running out of food as more of the fields are being pillaged.
- One councillor did question why there was any fighting to begin with and there was some kerfuffle before Lendora came out and stunned everyone with her beauty.
- We were invited to an extravagant dinner.
- They were eating loads of food, we were told to watch our glasses by one Lady.
- We were directed to Lord Hasslick who is a Clefite, he was also the one who spoke up earlier.
- He told us to meet him under the moonlight in the courtyard after the dinner.
- The prince survived a poison attempt and Brody and Fabian made chase, they eventually found the lair of the Clefites.
- Meanwhile, Maggie and Drakk stole the key to the storeroom from the servant man.
- Hiding the servant man, they broke into the storeroom and stole a magic carpet.
- Maggie picked out some amazing fine outfits for us:
- A purple robe with a fur trim for Fabian.
- A golden skirt with pointed cowboy boot shoes, big shoulder pads for Drakk.
- Fine lingerie for Brody.
- A fine low cut shirt for Aspen, leaving little to the imagination.
- A simple fine black dress for Maggie.
- A cut of a silken shirt for Drakk's ferret.
- Maggie's clothes were stolen, but we all had it.
- Brody and Fabian found the secret Celfite lair!
- We met Kavala, a leader figure of the Clefites, with no eyes. Also a lot of other Clefites with blindfolds.
- They were behind the poisoning!
- After we reunited, Kavala explained that any blood that is spilt takes on a life of its own and moves deeper into the sewers.
- We delved into the sewers.
- We revived a dead cat to enter a swamp.
- The swamp housed a gloopy hungry monster we killed.
- Fabian got the feeling we were being misled, that the chest was not here to help us.
- We then found our way into a crypt, the chest was glowing stronger.
- As we took a long rest, we heard the war drums above us begin to beat.
