Session 21: Sending Private Ryan Report

General Summary

write up a session report for last session, the session started with the party making their way to Mahali, where they met with Marigold and saw that the town that they have been fostering is growing. Finigan Finch had taken Astrelian there for much needed medical attention and the rest of the gang were busily adding the finishing touches to the newly refurbished house for the Krull family.   It was odd for the party to see Finigan being useful for a change rather than sticking his fingers where they weren't required. Mina was very keen to catch up with Astrelian who after his run in with the Blackhand and his knowledge of the parties interests with this organisation was less than interested in continuing the conversation. Something that ignited Mina's interests even further.   After a nights rest and a good mornings breakfast supplied by Victor the party set back off in their air-ship on their way to Umcebo to help Tridar find his families treasure.   On the way they noticed a caravan was about to be set upon by a group of two sandsharks, here our heroes intervened and were able to ward off the attackers, sadly at the loss of the caravaneers horse Ryan - luckily Sandra lived on to fight another day. They discovered that it was a duo of Yuanti relic hunters and Archeologists also on their way back to Umcebo after a dig to sell off some of their finds.   One a rather striking tall Yuanti named Najzad and the other was his cousin Theskuh who was quite outspoken and not trained to deal with large social situations.   It became apparent to the party after a short period of time that one of these two was in deed DuginDeeper on Hellpit the forum that Corrin had been using to try and find others who were also interested in Archeology. The ladies found this a great opportunity to play a trick on their new Yuanti friends disguising themselves as Najzad and Theskuh and their other cousin Akshei.   After some antics the party confessed to knowing who they were and why they were headed to Umcebo and during this time started negotiating on the loot that the Yuanti had found.   Loot found and rough values
Sunstrider's Lens – 55 gp - Sold to Mina
Oasis Chalice – 40 gp
Scarlet Sand Pendant – 35 gp
Khorun Sandstone Tablet – 50 gp
Desert's Heart Talisman – 40 gp
Whispering Fan of Zephir – 45 gp
Ivory Seal of Ralak’s Court – 35 gp
  With Mina finally striking a deal on the purchase of the Sunstrider's Lens.   The party explain the mission for Tridar and the potential haul of treasure associated and this certainly takes the interest of Najzad however his cousin who is aquaphobic suggested he would prefer to stay on land and now at the realisation of loss of their horse Ryan the Yuanti performed their sacred right of "pouring one out for the real ones" and celebrating the life of Ryan.   On landing near Umcebo Najzad and Theskuh parted ways only for the echos of Zeril Reis' to be over heard "WHAT DO YOU MEAN RYAN IS DEAD". As the party quickly realised these horses may have been borrowed and Ryan was likely Zeril's favourite horse.
