The Changing Hunt

Before they head out, Ghillie asked Raelyn, "Can you shift into a human or elf or some other form yet? The tablecloth itself is suspicious."

Ghillie nodded to the bartenders and patrons as he walked proudly past them. No sense in rushing by and lowering his head. Once outside, he said, "We'd best find some clothes for this one soon. Is that a bazaar?"

If the others agreed, that's where the druid would head to find cheap attire for Raelyn.

"We should get our friend here something more than a gunny sack to wear, I have a Galifar or two to spend for some decent clothes".

Once Raelyn is propperly dressed Kevin has to ask. Raelyn, I have to know. Since you got this assignment, what happened? You had the artifice, the two-finger ringed, and then what happened?

Gunnar tries to wrap his bearskin cloak around the changeling with little success. "There, that'll draw a lot less attention! No no, that's just what bears smell like on the inside, you'll get used to it. Okay okay, keep you tablecloth then!"

You all track down some simple clothing, and Raelyn finds a discrete corner and dresses himself.

With regular clothing on, he seems like a normal Khoravar, with the way he has shifted at this point.
OOC:
It cost a couple of coppers for the clothes.
Raelyn walks up to Alin and says, "Thanks for the clothes, brother," and he slips a few coppers into the changeling's hand.

OOC:
I'm at a loss here. I am pressing Raelyn for more information ingame and the GM is hinting that there are something we are missing.
I don't know what else I can do. I must be missing something somewhere

OOC:
I will respond to the questions posed to Raelyn shortly (I have demanding work at this point, so it takes time to post a thoughtful, descriptive post).

That being said, I rolled Wisdom (Insight) checks for the lot of you, in order to determine what your characters may have figured out by interacting with Raelyn. Those who have little private blurbs have intuited some things, based on who succeeded on those rolls.

I apologize that this feels like you are missing details; you are not.

Players are not receiving the same sensory stimulus that characters do in this world; just so you are all aware, I roll Wisdom (Insight) checks on behalf of your characters from time to time, in order to simulate the context that characters in a world would have that you, as players, may not have.

I will respond to your questions in short order, I promise.

Alin discreetly drops the coppers into a pile of refuse on the street and wipes their hands, not wanting to think about where Raelyn had the coins stashed on his naked body.

That is too funny, @XOSkel10!

"What now?" Mrak wonders?

"It's been quite a day! I forget, what were y'all coming into town for anyway? We seemed to get a little sidetracked." He directs this question to Kevin, Alin, and Ghillie.

"A little but Life is a winding river that always leads to Death," he mused. "Where're you staying, Raelyn? We'd best get your things before thinking about the zealots who hurt you and stole the ring."

Mrak turns his attention to Ghillie. "You all have spoken about some kind of artifact. Is this ring the artifact? What does it do?"

You all lead Raelyn back to the docks, to the Wavecrest Tavern.

Once he enters, he walks up to the bar and asks for a mushroom beer, no fizz. He sits at the bar.

The barmaid walks up, taps Raelyn on the shoulder, and he walks to the back, and then she looks to you to follow.

You all come into your room, and there is a chair in the middle of the room, and the barmaid points to it and says, "Sit, Raelyn. We have much to discuss and debrief on."

She looks to you all and says, "Thank you for bringing him back for questioning. You are welcome to question him with me, as I assume you haven't had much time to complete the full mission parameters; we can continue the mission after we get our intel."

Ghillie grabbed a mushroom beer with extra foam and listened intently to the changeling's story.
Apr 18, 2022 11:29 pm
Raelyn sits in the chair and says, "Well, I went to the Oldgate District to meet with an agent of Lord Lassite, since the Tyrants were requesting that I meet with Varen Lassite. I was told to meet in the Chapterhouse in the wee hours of the night, but as I walked over in a human form, I was accosted by some other humans, bearing some kind of device or holy symbol. The leader of the group pointed it towards me as I was walking to the tavern, and some men came up from behind me and in front of me, bagged my head and clubbed me.

"When I came to, I had awoken in a dark room, chained, naked, to a strange apparatus. Periodically they would bring me upstairs and abuse me.

"On one night, they became more drunk and unstable than usual. They nailed me to the wall, and were about to flay my skin, when you all happened to walk up to the place that they had me. I am very grateful that you saved me."

Alin adds Those that had Raeyln were of the Silver flame. It sounds like they have a device that can detect changelings, or they could detect the gift for Lassite that Raelyn was carrying." Alin straightens their tunic. "We fought them off before we knew that they had taken the gift."

The barmaid holds her chin with her left hand and says, looking at the lot of you, "Hmmm. And where is the holdout for these Silver Flame folks? Do you know if they are counter to our objectives of creating a presence in this city?

"I wonder if you could help us out further. We could pay you extra, as well as make sure you have a safe place to lay your head and rest in this city. But we need to know more about what's going on with these Silver Flame idiots, and if the Storm Lord is in actual danger.

"Also, recovering the artifact and bringing it to Lord Lassite would be a bonus.

"What are your terms for continued assistance?"

Mrak shrugs and looks to Alin.
