Notes
We accepted a quest to rescue a stolen grimoire from a Council Mage.
Tiz the Venerable Sorcerer, loves gossip, so we collected some:
- There's a secret society of gardeners who meet every Sunday, they are drug growers(?)
- The alchemy shop owner, Farah, has a testy relationship with her father after running off with an adventurer.
Tiz is VERY girly. She's lost The Codex of Unseen Paths - used for moving, going invisible, stealthy and sneaky stuff. It can curse people who don't know how to use it, trap them in a pocket dimension of evil people. Big thick book, bubbly leather. Emits a trace of Divination Magic.
She gossiped and told us that she turned her neighbour's dog invisible and the dog ran away. She feels bad but has never told anyone.
Tiz has two suspects:
- Gav Thorn, Janitor who cleans the Council Headquarters.
His mother is ill, possibly stole a scroll from the Council to heal his mum. Had a used Scroll of Lesser Restoration. - Lisa, who gossips and brings her kid Luther.
Luther is in deep with a roguish type, Dax. He has a bad reputation and leaves town often. Her husband is a bit of a meninist but they love eachother.
At Luther and Dax's usual hiding place we found a shadowy portal that led into a castle. Luther was stuck in a cage with a missing finger. We tried and failed to cast mending to repair his finger.
We found the book in Halfling form and, after solving some riddles, we gained control of the book. We fought our way out and rescued Luther.
When Luther was freed, he agreed to join Maggie's Thieves' Guild and hook Foreman up with Dax who deals weed in Vourenalla. Dax lives on the far side of the river.
