Session 86: Court & Combat

General Summary

  Chamberlain Ayanda Brightsun warmly greeted the Dragon Punchers upon their arrival within the Merchevan teleportation circle. Brief introductions were made, after which the party was given permission to tour the castle grounds and the city. With many tasks at hand, the group agreed to split up and reconvene In the evening at the Lliiran temple in the Gilded Spires.   Chari, following rumors of an exceptional duelist, found herself verbally sparring in the castle library with a noblewoman named Lady Mazi. The woman suggested they walk the grounds and get to know each other rather than destroy the perfectly good library as strangers. During their stroll Mazi playfully pushed Chari into a fountain, initiating the duel the monk had been asking for. To Chari’s surprise, the noble lived up to her reputation as an adept and agile fighter.   Sir Bartleby took it upon himself to inform the local priests of the Dragon Punchers’ arrival and enlist the aid of the clergy, if possible. While meeting with the head of the followers of Bahamut the paladin learned that the Wending Wood was once again on the move. More concerning still, entire villages were going missing near the Corvethi capitol. Primarch Samevi was unclear as to the cause of either, but cautioned that several capable paladins had also disappeared while investigating. He seemed confident, however, that his order would be able to assist Bart in his mission to stop any agents of the Ushers within Merchevo.   Jinn immediately sought out the underbelly of the city. Though traces could be found, locating anyone of note proved difficult. Intuition and a keen eye led him to an unusually prosperous cobbler’s shop. Careful questioning of the halfling proprietor revealed Oneithia’s identity as a merchant who visited the city on a somewhat regular basis. It was a lead.   In the evening the Dragon Punchers shared what they’d learned as they settled down for the night. Micah and Osdrahad yet to arrive, but all assumed they’d be back by morning.
