Scylax wasn't expecting any reward for handing in the masks, but he will just automatically think of it as a cash prize for their shared victory, and accept it graciously.Chapter 1 - No Silent Secret

"To the inn!", Kalstios starts to stomp towards the exit only to circle back, "And thank you for your hospitality, may Thassa keep your swims free of seaweed..........TO THE INN!", he stomps out of the temple.

Sale of 2 Returned masks for 100g total...CONFIRMED!You make the short walk to the Prancing Pegasus, check in, and have a good meal. For the sake of expediency, you chitchat a bit, and then head to bed.
[ +- ] Astraea
As you sleep, you dream of a beautiful lush forest. You are prancing and dancing and having a party for one in the woods. Suddenly, you hear a voice. One that fills the woods around you. "Astraea, my chosen. I have seen your deeds, and know the goodness in your heart. Today, you protected those weaker than you, and helped a horse recover from the atrocities of men. There is goodness in you, even if those you came from cannot see it. You embody one of the most important tenants I believe in: Freedom. You yearn to be free, and pursue the desires and whims of your heart. This day, I bless you with the gift of a hunter, to help you in your quest. Go forth, grow and improve, and I will be with you."
A warm feeling of comfort fills your bosom, and feel a connection with the wildlife around you. You run faster and faster into the woods, the wind in your hair, and you wake up.
You wake up, smiling, and look down to find a small marking, almost like a tattoo, on your left wrist. It is an arrow, not unlike the arrows you've seen in Nylea's mark. You gain the ability Nylea’s Devotee (now on your character sheet). As a devotee of Nylea, you have proven yourself a guardian of the wilds. You can cast hunter’s mark with this trait a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
[ +- ] Sarlyn
As you dream, you yet again find yourself near a familiar bank of water. You stand there for a moment, listening to the running sound of the water. Suddenly, the water stirs, and an enormous cloaked figure emerges. They wear a tatter veil over their face, and wear six masks from their sash belt. "Sarlyn. You are a descendant of a long line of devoted servants protecting the sanctity of the transition from life to death. My eye has fallen to you directly, and I am pleased with your service thus far. I have seen your heart, and know it to be pure. I implore you to succor all who are dying; all mortals yearn to make the most of their time in life. Value both life and death, and you will truly know the sacredness of your calling."
The figure reaches down with a large rotted scythe they hold in their hand, and touch you gently on your chest where you were stabbed earlier that day. A cold rush surges through the wound, and suddenly you awake. You grasp your chest, and look down. The wound of the day is now completely healed, and just above where the wound once was, just over your collarbone, is a small crescent moon marking, like a tattoo. You gain the ability Athreos’s Devotee (now on your character sheet) - Your life is intertwined with the fate of the dead. You can cast gentle repose with this trait, requiring no material components, a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

LONG REST ACHIEVED! WELCOME TO LEVEL 2Jun 25, 2020 9:04 pm
Kalstios hasn't felt this refreshed in a long time. An actual bed can do wonders. He walks downstairs, humming to himself and walks up to the counter. "Good morning madam, good sir, what do you serve for breakfast? I'm famished!".
Jun 26, 2020 8:08 pm
The short, plump man smiles. "Well good morning, big fella! The special this morning is a beautiful scrambled eggs spread with feta cheese spread over a bed of juicy red tomatoes. Patsy here is one hell of a cook, and people all over the city come in begging for her cooking. Can I get you one? Two perhaps, being such a strong fella yourself?"
Jun 26, 2020 8:36 pm
Kalstios thinks it sounds a little light, but he orders two. "So...anything happening in the city?", during his time with the pirates he quickly learned that inn and tavern workers tend to know most interesting things happening in an area.
Jun 26, 2020 9:38 pm
The man smirks a bit. I mean, yeah, I heard this crazy rumor from somebody yesterday that there's a minotaur calling himself King Antigonos." He shakes his head as he dries a glass and places it under the counter. "Who knows if its true, but apparently he seeking a suitable heir. Anyone who can pass his test will become his successor."

So it had been Arethos who saved her. As Sarlyn wakes she lies in bed considering the dream. He had been pleased with her, even after she failed in her task and needed to be rescued. For that she was grateful, but wondered if she was really deserving. That morning she spent longer her her prayers, thanking the god and affirming she would try not to let him down.
She walks downstairs to spot the Minotaur is already there. She nods at him, looking around the room. She hoped they served fish, she still was unsure trying other cuisines.

Waking up from her dream, she declares half-heartedly "I gotta lay off the drink!" She stumbles to her feet and gets herself presentable.
She strides out into the open courtyard, stiff from sleeping in one of those cursed human beds (eventually she just gave up and slept on the floor). She walks up to Sarlyn and Kalstios and takes a seat while flagging down a server.
"Hey guys, it's great to see you again. You guys want to kept following the trail of this Khea? It's been mighty profitable so far!"

Scylax enters the common area from outside, his fur steaming in the cold air. Slightly out of breath from his morning run, he grabs two plates of scrambled eggs from the bar and heads over to join the others.
"Ah, you're finally up! Yes, Khea - I'm curious to see where this leads, so I'd like to come with you, if you don't mind?"

'Khea has something to do with the returned. I would be turning my back on my calling if I turned a blind eye. I will travel with those who also are pursuing it. As it has been proven to me already allies are useful.'

Can I do a history check to know if I’ve heard of King Antigonos before?Rolls
History check (if I can) - (1d20-1)
(12) - 1 = 11

Kalistios - You haven’t heard of him.

Any more conversations to have before heading to Khea?

You make your way to the Northern rim of the polis, near where you entered yesterday, and ask around until you find a small, nondescript cottage. On the front door, a large wreath of lavender hangs and the smell of lavender permeates the air. One of you knocks on the door, and you hear a female voice from within. "Hello?"
