Session 19: 24/5-24 - On the road

Leader of hauls branch is called ”The commoner”, loluhereli gets a letter from their parents, using the portal again seems to be going further away from hauls than we are now.
 
Bess and Sadres is led by Raja, Nar and Abar is led by Phoenix, tolderus is led by Sah, Björnhöjd is led by Mann, shalehal is led by Cleric, Caldraria is led by The Prince. All of the leaders are refered to as kings.
 
We need to gather more information/stuff from the gigaruins, to learn more about the portals to enhance them more.
Seldlindrera, where kidos relatives live in north east hauls.
We make plans for keystone storage and drawing of rooms to make it easier for the organization to go to the discovered places. Gepp hide stick kidos in the drawings.
There is a plan to create basecamps in all portal locations, we need to find people that can attend these.
Kido brings dolphin to gather a keystone. They gather two red, whitespeckled keystones. Dolphin does like guldum since its to cold.
Eldreitithis, port town of northern end of the southern part of hauls is where lolureheli family lives.
We say our goodbyes and hire a cab going east to east gnock, passing through stroi.
We can see the mountain range, gnock range. A large pillar reaching up from it. Gigas remnant. The pillar is skeletal.
We draw closer to the village of Stroi. A mostly gubal village. Some youngsters jeering at a young gubal woman singing and playing false. Lori gives her a handful of gold, and Kido tunes her instrument. Gepp draws her a picture.
 
While resting, we see a dayle man and dayle woman shouting and cursing at eachother, holding swords, arguing about their failing marriage. He claims she used magic to lure him in, she claims he just wants to take her wealth and sell her estate to save his failing business.
 
Lori does a reading of Shimmer. Past present and future.
Holding on, stagnation. Radical transformation, change can be hard to swallow. Must embrace new beginnings. Loss can be a doorway to a new beginning.
Present, someone to much in control of their emotions, use their understanding of feelings to create strife and manipulation. Their present is somehow dependent on someone or a prescence. A solution that both mind and heart can agree on.
Future, conservation, protective of what you have earned, stability. I have enough, am stable and safe.
 
We see a tornado in the distance one day.
 
A group of large bear crossing the traderoute. A horse whinnies, and the 3 bears attack. We kill, we harvest. 8 rations of bearmeat
 
Gepp asks the driver of their story. Terror is his name. Quite old lothie, almost 200, used to be a soldier. Short curled blond hair, brown eyes, red tint to his see through skin, standing 197 cm tall, regular build, edgy incredibly beautiful face. Tells a dramatic tale of his band being taken as slaves. The coolest thing they have seen on the road: a flock of hippogriphs.
 
We get a snow day on the last day before gnock. We see a barn stating there is a population of 37 rats. Gepp goes on a killingspee. Its like a whole rat town created in the barn. Gepp writes 0 on the population count, and bags all the rats.
 
During a rest, we see someone dressed in black in the distance. He is an inventor, working with magic and souls. A goth person. Kido asks him everything about his work. What he creates and why, how does he get the soul, does he know how to infuse a soul into a construct, and preserving the person. He looks just like a young talisin Jaffe .
Creating a way to use the spell soul cage, high level necromancy without killing its host. He needs souls to practice and experiment on. Retrieving it in a unique way he cant share. Comes from a long line of necromancer devilish line. He has studied in Bess, knows of Kidos mother. His name is Qabal. Long mohawk. Dark mist around him. His eyes glowing a little bit. Has strained family relations. He is from the small village of Mirebur in kingdom of caldraria. A short travel east of northeasten border of bess. Kido has seen him in Bess, but never talked to them. (Nat 20). He is a roand.
Kido adopts this man. Gepp does not like him.
