"You see a lot of those like him in academia." Vanri whisper's quietly. "Generally speaking you just work around them, as best you can at least."

Then she looks sad, "Normally it was Master's job to do that."

"Academia? Where is that? Are all people in Academia fire people like you?" Welsh is genuinely interested in hearing about this place. :)

Nadya quickly hides her surprise at how clueless the satyr was. It was kind of sweet in a way. 'It's a place of study and teaching. Also o assholes who expect thing to be done their way or no way. The drinks are good if you know where to look though

Harburk laughs at Nadya’s description of academia. "Ha! Couldn’t have said it better myself. Dornan’s a town elder, and he expects people to just accept what he says because of that...what a prick...they’ve been no help lately", he clears his throat and looks at Vanri, "So, who was your master young lady?"
Jul 7, 2020 9:58 pm
Vanri perks up at the chance to speak of her master. "Her name was Arana Peacebrow. She was the best sword-smith in the whole college, even Master Rockhammer thought she was, and he's a dwarven mastersmith!"

"Master Peacebrow had a theory about magical swords that would completely change the way magic weapons were forged, and she selected me to help her with the arcane formulas!"

"Wow, so did you succeed? Did you manage to make a sword that magical?", Harburk takes a deep drag of his beer.

Vanri slumps. "No. Or rather, not yet. Master Peacebrow had created the sword and we were ready to start enchanting when the workshop was raided. Master Peacebrow was killed and the sword was stolen."

Vanri rubs her eyes and looks up. "I'm going to find the thief though, and recover Master Peacebrow's final work. And I'll complete it too, even if it takes me years!"

Harburk nods solemnly, "I sincerely hope that you succeed. Thieves like that needs to be brought to justice".

The party starts to dissipate little by little, and eventually you also turn in for the night. Another long day awaits in the morning with the planned expedition to Lance Rock. You go to bed and dream unclear, swirly dreams about fires, earthquakes, floods and raging storms. The dreams are unsubstantial and fades quickly as you wake up, but they do leave you with a deep sense of unease.

You all walk down into the common room of the Swinging Sword, ready for another day of adventuring.

Welsh wakes up, shaking his head. "Maybe being around Nadya is giving me visions. Weird..."

He heads downstairs into the common room, cheerfully. "Good morning, Kaylessa! How are you this fine morning?" To all those around, it is clear that Welsh is an obnoxiously cheerful morning person.
Jul 9, 2020 9:10 pm
Kaylessa greets Welsh cheerfully, "A lot better today after you caught them hoodlums yesterday! I knew I had the right feelin’ ‘bout you all"
Jul 9, 2020 9:27 pm
"You know, I think we're heading to Lance Rock today. Any tips? Info? Pointers? Local hobnobb about what we're walking into?"
Jul 10, 2020 12:24 pm
Nadya is goraning and holding her head as she comes down the stairs.

'Don't s'pose you have any breakfast? 'She mumbles at Kaylessa as she sits down, before managing a grin at Waslh.

'I had more dreams,we're on the right track.'

Welsh enthusiastically slams his hands on the table. "I knew it! I had them too!" He flips his chair around so he can lean on the back with his arms draped over them. "So tell me, Nadya. How do I harness this dream thing? I feel like just being around you is giving me powers of being a visionary."

I'm pre-emptively rolling insight. Let's see how long this ruse goes on for.

'You what?' The surprise shows on her face clearly as the words slip out. That wasn't meant to happen. If oracle powers were contagious surely hers would have cropped up a lot sooner.

'Well that's.. I mean its all about learning to interpret them, understand what they are trying to say...it is not heard of.. normally these powers come through bloodlines.'

OOC:
Yup...he still is buying it. Haha.
Welsh sits contemplatively. "Strange...I don't remember much...just a sense of foreboding now."

"Then again..." He flicks his wrist with his wand, casting Minor Illusion to create a small image of Ekorn, his patron, in the palm of his hand. "I couldn't do this a couple weeks ago, but this strange creature saw it fit to bestow me with gifts."

He holds the illusion up to his face, examining it contemplatively. "Something tells me we may be walking into a bit more danger on Lance Rock." He looks up at Nadya. "I'm very grateful for your companionship thus far, Nadya. I feel like a fish out of water here. It's nice to have someone with your wisdom and expertise here."

Kaylessa brings food and drink to the whole group, he face grim as she addresses Welsh, "I don’t know exactly what’s out there. I just hear from travellers coming that way that something foul seems to live in a cave near it. Someone mentioned the area being affected by plague...whatever that means"

OOC:
One day. Last chapter of the campaign? :P
'That Ekun fella of yours? Well sometimes weird creatures send clue because they feel like it.' Nadya clearly enjoys the praise she's being fed.

'Well it is the duty of my family to kind heroes after all? Though a plague.. tah tsounds fun.'
Jul 11, 2020 6:58 pm
Vanri looks curious at the mention of a 'plague'. "I wonder what form of plague they mean? I mean, if they mean the traditional usage of 'disease that effects humanoids' that's a very different thing from 'trouble or disaster'."
Jul 11, 2020 8:21 pm
Either way, it sounds like the exact kind of trouble heroes like us can take down.

Are you ready to go towards Lance Rock or is there anything you want to do first?
