"I should stay behind for now Snark. I wanted to see if I can get some more info about what is causing this disturbance I'm gonna go see if I can get one of the sailors to get a bit more info. I'll see if Jim Terrance is in town. He may have seen something."
OoC: should I roll to see if he's in town or the DM?
DM Jon S Map Thursday November 10th, 2022 9:54:18 PM
OOC: I'll make a proper post tomorrow - both of my parents are having medical issues and I'm not sure what's up ... doesn't help that one is in California, the bonus is my Mom is 15 mins from me but in an ALF, and that's who just called me
Dao (Art P) HP 24/24, AC 19/15, CMB 8, CMD 22 Friday November 11th, 2022 8:17:20 AM
Dao will gladly accompany Snark and whoever else accompanies them.
“Benni” AC 22/12/18. CMD16. HP 20/ 24 Onesimos (SteveK) Friday November 11th, 2022 11:47:55 AM
Onesimos looks up from his cleaning at the WLA and comes over to join the conversation. His pale and narrow face is framed by long brown hair untidily bound with a fragile-appearing diadem. The elf is in simple clothes with elaborate embroidery and counter-stitching in a wild flower motif, but most is covered by his armor and a sleeveless calf-length coat. Summer sky eyes watch without weighing, and a woven ivy and willow design in High Woldian is on a woven band around his neck. His WLA pin is prominent. A peaceful tenor chimes, “Welcome to Heranmar! I am Onesimos Elpis, though less formally, call me ‘Benni’.”
“We are a part of a team that’s been solving mysteries, protecting the community, and things like that. Right now, Teddy and I are trying to tidy the WLA booth so we can start researching if there are any past stories of ‘difficult magic’.”. He sends a fond look at Akoka who has never been able to keep the booth looking less than a complete wreck.

While people are deciding on their actions, Dao meets Sherriff Whip and has a side conversation with him...Highlight to display spoiler: { You tell Whip what's up. He nods and smiles, "That's awfully nice young man. We have a few folks, mostly older, although there is a brother and sister who've lost their parents that need help. You get the money to me, and I'll make sure it goes where it needs to be, no questions asked. By the way, I'm looking for some "fill-in" deputies, if you want to talk about that, come see me later at my office."}
As Benni and Teddy enter the WLA Office and greet Akoka, an elf enters, looking around. This is not someone the two Luck Maker's have met before. Teddy asks Akoka "Something's going on with magic and we wondered if the WLA records might provide any clues."
At that statement, and before Akoka can answer, the elf speaks up, "I am Talinyl, a WLA member just in from Hook City. I've only just arrived here in town, but I've come looking for work. Something's wrong with magic around here, you say?"
Benni then added “We are a part of a team that’s been solving mysteries, protecting the community, and things like that. Right now, Teddy and I are trying to tidy the WLA booth so we can start researching if there are any past stories of ‘difficult magic’."
Looking around the WLA Office, it appears that several wars have taken place, due to the amount of papers, dust, spider webbing, and general disarray present.
Akoka had looked surprised when Benni and Teddy entered, she completely appears flustered as another adventurer enters her 'domain', but takes everything in stride, "Difficult Magic, hmmm, not that I've heard of, but then, I've been cleaning. A history of magical issues, hmmm, well, there was problems when that Bell was rung, but outside of that, nothing I can remember. The history section would be over there ( points to a cluttered bookcase holding a collection of older books, and knick knacks), you are welcome to look for information."
*************************************************************************** Snark, Dao (after his convo), and Corym all head for Mojo's house. Although not "super" happy to see the group, he does look at the two items, he flicks the bottle and smiles as it sounds like steel and not glass, "I'll give you 1250 gold for the two. I know someone who might take them off my hands, but he's out on an extended fishing trip ... looking for some white whale or some nonsense." Highlight to display spoiler: { Mojo is very firm on the figure - but will add another 100 gold if the party agrees to come to him with future finds from the Abbey that they want to sell }
Once done, the trio head for the Catacombs via the WLA office. As they arrive, they find Teddy and Benni in a conversation with Akoka, and an unknown elven adventurer.
Issac goes looking for Jim Terrance. After asking around, it is determined that the Triple Tail isn't due back to Heranmar for a few more days. However, the gossipy person Issac asks, "So what have the 'Makers been up to, that Abbey is a cursed place. If you're playing around in there, you better go get clensed by the Temple...
OOC: I think I got everything caught up
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC17 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 34/34 Friday November 11th, 2022 6:02:16 PM
Snark will introduce Dao and Corym to Master Mojo Filter as kind of a big deal businessman here in town.
(Unless any of our party has any objections), Snark is glad to unload those the Displacer Beast pelt and the glassteel bottle for 1,250. "Sold! Thanks pal. I'm gonna have to pass right now on committing to bringing everything from the abbey to you, but it's very likely we will. I just don't want to take your retainer when I can't predict the future.
"Say, we did bring back these six sets of armor - chainmail, shield, helmet, and mace. The metal is treated with some dwarvish thing that makes 'em rust resistant. Oh, and they all have this fancy tabard with a bell on it. 'Cause, you know, the Chaos Bell I guess. Anywho, if'n you're interested, I can sell them to you. I figure each set is worth 300 gp. What'll you give me?"
Whatever the answer, Snark will then go with Dao and Corym to the WLA.
At the WLA, Snark looks around. He says as an aside to the new elf, "Boy, I sure hope you're here to get this place straightened out. I mean, Akoka's doing a swell job holding down the WLA fort here, but organization is just not her thing. Beggin' yer pardon Mistress Akoka."
After this he will go to the Catacombs, which should wrap everything up.
Dao (Art P) HP 24/24, AC 19/15, CMB 8, CMD 22 Friday November 11th, 2022 10:51:39 PM
“I am Dao,” the tall, lean and oh-so-bald half-elven monk introduces himself to mistress Akoka and the stranger with a broad smile of good-natured greeting. His lustrous brown eyes sparkle with mirth and a touch of knowing amusement, as if they all shared a secret. “We’ll met.” Later, when Snark visits the catacombs, Dao accompanies him.
Corym Morhice (Ben V) AC20 T15 F16 CMD20, HP 32/32 Friday November 11th, 2022 11:30:09 PM
Corym stays at the WLA, talking to whoever is the "front desk" person is, learning a bit more about the organization and what the whole deal is. Wherever the party goes afterwards, he will follow.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC17 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 34/34 Saturday November 12th, 2022 3:46:09 PM
Snark goes to the Catacombs. For Dao, Corym and anyone else that wants to go with him to the Catacombs, Here's the link.
Talinyl (Levi S) HP 46/46 AC20/T15/F15 CMD20 Saturday November 12th, 2022 4:28:46 PM "You can call me Tal, if you like," Talinyl says, scratching the back of his head nervously. He wears a heavy brown woolen cloak over a loosely fitting poet's shirt and tight fitting breeches tucked into leather boots. His WLA pin is fastened to his cloak, immediately visible for all to see. "I hope that we can get along well, Benni. And if it's book work that needs to be done, I'm your man!"
“Benni” AC 22/12/18. CMD16. HP 20/ 24 Onesimos (SteveK) Sunday November 13th, 2022 2:45:01 AM
Onesimos beams, ”Thats the spirit, Tal!”, and makes space for the new half-elf.
Benni looks up from his work at the WLA and waves at Corym, ”Wanna give a hand?”, he calls jovially.
”Its just a booth in the Market Halls, but we try. Akoka is the only permanent staff here, and I think she must be cursed for how fast things get out of order here! ”. Benni smiles to show it’s not true (he has checked with detect magic orisons to make sure.).
The cleric heads over to the history pile and begins sorting before reading. He hopes the magic problem is not something the Luck Makers have done by slowly clearing the Abbey…
Dao (Art P) HP 24/24, AC 19/15, CMB 8, CMD 22 Sunday November 13th, 2022 10:47:30 AM
“Can I also get 2 tanglefoot bags?” Dao asks Snark.

“Can I also get 2 tanglefoot bags?” Dao asks Snark.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC17 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 34/34 Sunday November 13th, 2022 8:18:47 PM "Sure Dao. I'll add that for you. If there's something you want later you can always go. I just wanted you to know where it is and how it works."
Gore'Thum and Teddy Treeborn (Mitch) HP 22/39 AC 12/11/12 CMD 11 Gore'Thum HP 16/39 AC 12/12/11 Monday November 14th, 2022 8:18:02 AM
Teddy helps research the WLA records for any similar events. He greats the newcommer warmly.
Dao (Art P) HP 24/24, AC 19/15, CMB 8, CMD 22 Monday November 14th, 2022 11:18:15 AM
“Thank you, Snark,” Dao says, looking about with interest.
Snark Riverstone (MarkB) AC17 T13 F10, CMD 12, HP 34/34 Monday November 14th, 2022 12:17:40 PM
Snark returns from his trip to the Catacombs.
"OK, so here's the loot distribution:
Benni - 415 GP plus 2 Holy Water, 1 Remove Disease Isaac - 1,215 Teddy - 1,215 Snark - 1,165 GP plus 2 Holy Water Dao - 440 GP plus 1 Holy Water, 1 Remove Disease Corym - 1,215 GP
In addition Dao, I got those two Tanglefoot bags you wanted. They cost 100 GP so you actually only get 330 GP."
Snark will hand out the funds and items.
Dao (Art P) HP 24/24, AC 19/15, CMB 8, CMD 22 Monday November 14th, 2022 12:34:04 PM
Dao accepts the gold and items very gratefully and stores them away. He bows to Snark, hands clasped over his heart.
