Scene 1: Arrival

For the duration, (1 hour) you understand the literal meaning of any spoken language that you hear. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text.

This spell doesn't decode secret messages in a text or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn't part of a written language.

We don't need to set up a meeting with Syndra if we are planning to be there in the afternoon right? That's when we are expected to be there?

Elster is asking about the criminal he met earlier, he didn't get his name. I don't think they are showing up, buy Elster doesn't know that. :)

You don't need to set up meeting with Syndra "tomorrow afternoon". Anything earlier need prior notice

This is not directly in module, but more of my interpretation. Almost every spell requires verbal component. When you see someone casting you don't know is it a fireball or a spell that would help stealing something from you - all people must be afraid hearing verbal component as as we would be hearing a sound of an incoming artillery fire.
Think of it as of of visibly carrying a firearm in public places.

Where do you want to go tonight?

Sorry, I thought I was clear with Yendil's preperations and that he would automatically join Larsie wherever they wanted to go, and not hold the group up.

DM, is there any meaning to the names 'Wakanga O'tamu' and 'Jabal' that Yendil picks up on with his spell Comprehand Languages? Like 'Na N’buso' means 'the Great King' in old Old Omuan

Wakanga and Jabal are typical Chultian names. Your best guess of O'tamu - it should be a family name.

What do you do?

Thanks for the info on the names. I was not expecting a big reveal or anything, but thought it was worth a shot;)

Ah yes, sorry, I was confused as to what happened to who, and what was shared, so I started taking notes. Yendil already knew there were seven, and Tonby and Yendil have learned about a third merchant prince named Ekene-Afa, former gladiator turned trader and politician. Maybe he can learn about the others and their field of responsibility on the way back to the inn? Or just ask the bartender about them.

Edited for misgendering Razira

give me a persuation check by both Yendil and Larsie. Don't forget disadvantage. I will treat it as DC 10 group check of two PCs. So at least one need to beat it.
