Episode 65

The party is escorted out of the liceum. It’s late at night, the air is breezy. Guards are seen patrolling the streets alongside some naval officers. Everyone gathers themselves and heads down to the common room. A conversation is had with Marisol before the party settles down for the night. Many bathe and relish in a good night’s sleep. Everyone does their own things in the morning.

Gregory does not allow anyone else to receive job information except the leader. Lily is given the details for a few new jobs, which she shares with the group after Marisol sets up the anti-scry sphere.


 * 1) There are mangled bodies found close to Lastonbell. They have been appearing every day for the past week. The job is to find what’s been killing folks and stop it. Base pay is 5,000 gold.
 * 2) To the east of Lastonbell. Three children and two adults have gone missing. The job is to find out what happened and to bring them back. 2000 gold base pay and 200 gold per missing person/corpse.

Apparently the Trinity Mountain job had been dealt with. The culprit was a very angry Snap Jaw. No sword was found. Gregory also told Lily that Hank Asprig from the auction house has invited the party to a party on the 16th of Hearth.

After relaying the information to Soulfire, Lily mentions that they may need to kill Gregory since he mentioned the phrase “fine feathers for fine birds” during their talk about the invite. She wants them all to be aware of it since she believes it may relate to the Ebony Wings. Some are skeptical. Marisol suggests stealing Gregory’s booklet. Seipora offers everyone mac and cheese. They struggle to understand mac and cheese. Ingred asks Lily about the goblin job and notes that a group called Brutal Energy had already dealt with it.

Press arrives during their conversation and makes himself at home. He says it would be good for the group’s reputation to attend the party. Everyone complains about Gregory. Marisol says that no one trusts Gregory and that he may be a cult member, which leads Press to giving a serious lecture about why they should have faith in his ability to hire people that they can trust. He mentions that a small naval force has been sent in to protect those working in Lower Port. He speaks privately with Lily, Marisol, and K after Ingred shows off her autograph.

Later in the day Marisol asks for a signature from each party member. She says that she’s planning on selling it and gives everyone 5 gold afterwards. Almost everyone accepts it.

The night progresses peacefully and everyone does their own tasks for the second day of down time.
