General Summary

Session 11  

Quindi, 26th Day of the Sailor

Everyone is gathered in a private room in The Temple of the Hunter:
—> Throughout the conversation Musky tried to convince Magnus Copperbeard that he wanted us to help with investigating everything claiming there was a note, everyone supported this narrative
—> Copperbeard reprimanded everyone for going against his orders, perked up at the mention of cultists and started describing a bunch of people, they matched descriptions and also happened to be part of the weekly card game 
Female halfling - Arabella Stoor
male elf - Auron Blackwood
male tiefling - Jayden Grimm
dwarf female - Bunwida Bonespine
female half-orc - Bardra Longstone
—> called us out on commenting around town that he is poor at his job, told us about investigating the different groups, spoke to Amos and Samina at the bar and got their names, when the homes of the cultists were investigated; cult writing etc were found
  —> Copperbeard to ask questions and poke holes in the story as we attempted to relay what happened but tried not to incriminate ourselves
—> called out Junipurr, Musky, and Zoda on the antics at Hingrirm Trueheart’s house, didn’t believe us when we said the carpet came back to life
—> We told Copperbeard that we took the pottery shards to Belfras Silvergaze and he informed us that it is a spell bomb (pottery bomb)
—> Bews is under the impression/belief that the cultist said Trueheart’s death has to do with their plan - Musky did admit to tricking her
—> Copperbeard relented and admitted we had found some information, and became more amenable to working together/collaborating
—> Thad bear hugged Copperbeard, and resisted letting go even when the guards stepped in, ended up hugging one of the other guards
—> Ink explained what happened since the occurrence of the dreams and the meteor falling, including the fighting and the tentacle arms and the ogre,
—> Musky explained the connection to the Whisperer
—> Meteor is in a vault within the temple, extra guards have been assigned to the area
  At Nest Watch Headquarters:
—> Copperbeard starts going over his evidence, mentions Tibert Capstone and Jewel Capstone, (and others) including known factions they are connected to
—> Acknowledges that the Jade Hawk has been contracted, but doesn’t believe they have arrived in town yet, or may have yesterday/last night
—> Trueheart has been a pillar of the community for 50 years, well respected by everyone including the warring factions
—> Blackwood (one of the cultists) had had previous sessions with Trueheart - sessions notes commented about him being troubled
—> Jewel currently missing
—> Started looking back through Trueheart’s books/notes and 52 years ago there was a significant deposit and a few higher deposits over the following 2 years with only 2 major withdrawals, 1 when he purchased his house and the other around the time Truheart came to Ravenwood to connect with a powerful wizard on behalf of his clients “The Butterfly”
—> Explained to Copperbeard about the pottery shards, showing Nikko Runesky and Belfras being in possession of them
—> Collectively we started putting the pieces together that Prince Zared Evengrove disappeared around the same time that Trueheart moved to Ravenwood, and now that the price has been declared legally dead and Evengrove is going to take possession of the throne, Trueheart has been killed
—> Musky is sad to find out there was no 50 y/o body
—> Told Copperbeard about the hidden “Butterfly” journal - also with Belfras
—>Copperbeard sent other guards to the tower to obtain the book
—> Discussed Belfras’ ability to actually create one b/c they are intricate, The The Teeth and Dwarven Underground have used them more as coverup b/c they are so excessive and makes it difficult to determine specifics
—> Copperbeard will look into Hingrim’s death being a distraction from any other goings on that may have occurred in and around the same time
—> Ink, Bews, Thad and Junipurr look through the collected journals for ones written 50 years ago
—> Bews found 1 from 52 years ago, talks about trip to Oakheart to meet wealthy clients, "G","C" and "Z" and their child that didn’t feel like they were in the right body
—> Ink found one from 51 years ago, journal talks about Truheart and the butterfly heading to Ravenwood to talk to a powerful wizard "B" about new therapy for client
—> Junipurr finds one from 50 years ago, the notes talk about telling "G" and "C" that the butterfly was ready for the procedure,
—> Copperbeard find a journal talking about a new plan with the butterfly because "G" and "C" died and they needed to figure out a new identity
  —> Guards arrive after visiting Belfras, with the notebook, - no deaths, but a few polymorphs. Book has a translation key inside.Doesn’t seem like pages were removed
  Onvyr Evengrove doesn’t have a great reputation, wants Oakheart to be for the elves
  Council doesn’t have as many powers as a king would - cannot declare war or make major decisions, but can take emergency actions for defense
  The group speculated on Hingrim’s murder and if it was part of preventing anything/anyone from stopping Evangrove from taking the throne
  Butterfly notebook started getting translated, - more details about Hingrim meeting with "G","C" and "Z" and Z’s desire to be someone different like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly
    At Belfras’s Tower
—> Rhyke created a walking table golem
—> Beretan fell through the step,
—> Belfras produced the Spell Bong, and lit it with a fireball, everyone got hit, Copperbeard gave healing potions to everyone,Thad also hit the bong with his own supply, the bong enhanced the effect,
—> Musky smells delicious - roasted mushroom
Ink took the bong from Thad and tucked it away out of everyone’s sight, Copperbeard approved, Thad hugged Beretan and cast lay on hands for 10 health
—> Ink asked Belfras who the butterfly is, and about the broken pottery, received the pottery reassembled/repaired,
  Zoda mentioned Hingrim and clarified the question, asked him to use some magic to show us the person transition — the image revealed Samena Freestar
