Session 23: 2021-05-26
Zorinn and the party go to meet the chronurgist Eroan Jian, who finishes the last of Zorinn's book, and offers to take him as an apprentice long-term. The party then visits the Roughshade Monestary, with its world-famous library. They buy several books (including magic books, a map of the wastes, and some smut). and do some research. There, they talk to two scholars: Lo Rodon about the ruins filled with shadows they visited, and Pui Ni about the history of Humlend. They go play at the beach. Cal goes back to visit Eroan again, giving him a warning about hurting innocents. The party book a series of short ship voyages back to Canyonport "off-screen", lugging back some books for Strew Havenore.

Session 21: 2021-05-12
The party talks to the orcs, but they end up fighting. The party is divided over whether attacking the orcs is legitimate, and fights amongst themselves. They bring the orc (Smelly) back to the town for the night, and make him lead them to his camp. He shows them a campfire, but the party threatens and beats him until he reveals the real orc warcamp, with 150 orcs and at least one giant wolf. They return to town, turning him over to the prison, and the guard runs off to tell someone about the warcamp. They try to get Neville at the Bracklehull Merchants Association to pay them without success.
They decide to leave for Bat Vadyne, and will travel by foot over the wastes (it will take 2-3 weeks). They stop by Fort Hydra to prepare, and set off after selling their horse and wagon. Four days in, they succcessfully find the Mirage of Dreams Inn, the last outpost before Bat Vadyne.
The current date is Year 722, Day 78 (Charity).

Session 20: 2021-05-05
The party talk to Grub and decided to go to Bat Vadyne to deliver them water. They shopped for magic items, finding some nice ones, and argued in- and out- of character about selling their iron ewer of endless water. They bought horses and a wagon, travelling south to the Bracklehull Merchants' association, where they talk to an unhelpful secretary about recent orc attacks. They managed to find an attacked merchant, and got information that the attack happened north of Bracklehull. Disguising their wagon as merchants' wagon, they headed north, where they spotted orcs coming up on them.

Session 19: 2021-04-28
The party found the Black Oracle, but there was a scary shadow creature in there. They defeated the shadow, and asked all their given questions, plus one accidental one--deciding not to ask any of their own in favor of getting money. The party exited the name immediately for safety, paid their assistants, and received a bonus of a bag of holding. They have several letters offering work at the house.

Welcome to William Johnson.
The party fights a ghost, and wins. During the fight they meet a mysterious stranger, William Johnson, who assists. They retreat back to the mages' guild to rest and recuperate, where they calculate that at a cost of 4500sp each, they can heal only one person--they select Zorrinn. Four of the NPCs leave (some bitter about not being healed), and are replaced. The party returns to the maze and cautiously approaches what used to be an unconscious minotaur.

The party picks a lock on the door to the north, finding inside a furious ghost who terrifies and ages them. They begin to flee.

Becket gets into the jail, but Iong Duan (the clerk) doesn't really believe his story, and finds his thieves' tools. He and Laurel Fallenditch talk a while about what started the riot (hooligans?) and whether she would support a revolutionary group or want to see them brought to justice. Becket remembers they might have an in with the investigator.

Becket talks to Stumpy, who tells him the judge for the case is Felicia Pinkvine and the Head Inspector is John Elfwood. A new graffiti symbol is appearing, a crossed out Baneth symbol, which might be the symbol of the resistance. Zorinn meets someone at the mage's guild, Saryarus Aejeon. The party house-shops, eventually buying a house in the Foreign quarter from Angrim Ironhead for 3000 sp, and equips it with furniture. Becket sneaks into the jail by rooftop and wakes up Laurel Fallenditch, who is reluctant to talk to a stranger sneaking into the jail without a clear explanation of what's going on.
