Everyone wanted to go to the Hora Quan, except Rellik

Soern went back to the ship
Rellik “urged the bartender to call the guards” and then went back to the ship

Session Notes

“Didn’t you used to be all happy and whimsical? Hmm, maybe Rellik’s had a bad influence on him. Or maybe it was you.” – Sigrid
“I’m whimsical!” – Captain Blank
“You’re a pirate.” – Sigrid
Secondmonth 15th
Mid-afternoon
Ratham Norder
Thinks Soern is a pirate
First words “you look unwashed”
He thinks everyone is a pirate, especially if they deny it, because “pirates always lie”
Has a rat problem – the rats are dirty, and need cleaning
“You look . . . unwashed.” – Ratham
“Are you a pirate? I don’t like pirates.” – Ratham
“I’m not a pirate.” – Soern
“You must be a pirate. Pirate’s always lie.” – Ratham
“I’m a pirate.” – Captain Blank
“You’re not a pirate. You’re telling the truth. You can’t be a pirate.” – Ratham
Went to talk to Mischa
Dyeza Tazhiren
Read some documents, something about Dyeza Tazhiren and his instatement as champion
go back to the Black Angle
Tillienne
Cer-Athane
Gannen
Sigrid and Soern go over to the bar
Blank goes over and talks to Cer-Athane
Got his headband of feathery wisdom
Sigrid gets ale
“Where’d you get that sword?” – Gannen
“We found it.” – Sigrid
“In a gold mine.” – Soern
“We found it, it’s very old, we don’t much about it. Except that it has feelings.” – Sigrid
“It’s the ale.” – Captain Blank
Talked to Gannen about the sword, Hora Quan
“I’m supposed to stand for justice, and truth.” – Sigrid
“Then sit down.” – Captain Blank
Went back to ship, saw James being threatened by thugs on the way
On the docks: ship with black and red, ominous sails
It set sail, they followed it
Sailed threw fog, other ship disappeared
Ghost wolves
Set sail on Secondmonth 16th night

Session Notes
Created: February 16, 2007
Hung out in a tavern – The Twisted Fish – for a while, had happy sharing story time. Blank and Sigrid explained their pasts, how they’d got here. Rellik refused to answer their questions.
“We’re a crew. We’ve got to have . . . cohesion.” – Captain Blank
“So what’s capitalist fascism, exactly? Do divulge. Enlighten me. Add to the cohesion.” – Captain Blank
“Ah. So this is where your . . . charming sense of Justice comes from.” – Captain Blank.
“But how well would the cohesion be, if you had humans rule humans, and . . .” – Captain Blank
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” – Sigrid
Worked out a plan:
Rellik and Blank go investigate the arena
Sigrid talks to Ea-Shamar about investigating murders, wants to get a new shield
Sigrid left her armor (not her sword) on the boat
“We’ll go look for the underground. Rellik, start digging.” Captain Blank
Sigrid got a black cloak
“That’s how I found Captain Bonnet in the first place, he was in a tavern.” – James
“Then stay. Away. From taverns.” – Captain Blank
They found James standing outside the Black Angle. Had a conversation with him. That was funny.
“Is there a place where I could buy a deadly poison?” – Rellik
“He’s a collector.” – Blank
“Why don’t you go ask what’s-his-name about the stuff?” – Blank
“I’ll give you 600 gp.” – Rellik
“You’re giving him more money than he asked for?” – Sigrid
“It’s contact etiquette. You wouldn’t understand.” – Blank
“Kraken! *cough* *cough* Repressed memory! Need rum!” – Blank
Sassone leaf residue; Contact DC 16; 2d12 hp; 1d6 Con; 300 gp
“It’s all good clean fun until someone gets their sword polished with poison.” – Blank
“That’s generosity, not justice!” – Blank
“I’m just giving him a few coins! I’m a nice person.” – Sigrid
“You’re encouraging him!” – Blank
“Encouraging him not to freeze to death?” – GM
Blank bet 2,000 gp on Mazquar
Rellik bet 500 gp on Mazquar
Blank and Rellik bet Sorern’s 1250 gp on Mazquar
Total: 6,250 gp
“Wake up! We need to leave before the black market closes.” – Blank
Went back to the ship, slept.
Next day: voyage!

Mischa Mevarin

Ao-Manasa
She was drunk at the time. Knows they did something she was very angry about, but she doesn’t know what it was.
Letter, yay, got all paranoid.

“I call upon the power of all that is true and just in the world!” – Sigrid
“I’ll be going now.” – Captain Blank
Fought bears. Captain Blank nearly died. Andy killed one by knocking it into the acid pit, Blank killed one with icefire.
“They fight stone bears, and Captain Blank nearly dies.”
Had conversation about how Captain Blank has no hit points. And how no one else could or wanted to heal him.
Rested, Sigrid and Rellik kept watch.
“Okay, I killed a bear.” – Captain Blank
“I killed a bear better.” – Sorern
“He said specifically that they were ‘catacombs,’ as in, involving dead people.” – Captain Blank (“he” being Taevin)
“And giant blue bears.” – Sorern
Party pulled a bomb squad on the blue stones.
“It’s contact etiquette. You wouldn’t understand.” – Captain Blank (to Sigrid)
Found all the things I hid. Got obsessed with figuring out the riddle.
Took about four days to work everything out.
Turned out there was a storm, with strong winds and stuff.
“Interesting. This seems to be a very popular name in this ancient culture.” – Captain Blank, jokingly imitating Sorern as he analyzed ever single one of the blue stones, and discovered that they were all made by the same person (Tai Faren)
They went back to Ao-Manasa, had a storm on the way, took three days. Sorern used object loresight on all the magic items they found. Captain Blank returned to Taevin, sold the relics—crown, two scepter pieces, box with hair, longsword. (5,000 gp)
“It’s a bunch of criminal lowlifes, there’s plenty of information to be had there.” – Sigrid
“Captain Blank gets into a gladiator death match, and almost dies.” – Sigrid
“I call upon the power of all that is true and just in the world!” – Sigrid
