Session 5 - Pentareach Beginnings

by Kaito "Oreson" Brinejaw

Alistan Preen was dressed to travel with a large pack slung over his shoulder talking to 3 people with him quite a bit away in the main thoroughfare.
 
Approaching the main gate, there were two Peryton Guards at the gate with a ledger. One of them looked at the tarp and recoiled in fear after we explained what our business was in Pentareach.
 
We were told it would be 5 gold pieces to enter Pentareach each.
 
We made our way to the Scholar's Ward after the guards at the main gate pointed us to go there to collect our bounty. The Scholar's Ward is located in the centre of Pentareach. We had to go to the gated portion of it known as The Middling Grounds. One of the guards at the Scholar's Ward gate asked for a name and place of origin from one of us. Malaphor introduced himself and mentioned Varleska. The guard mentioned no one had been from there in a while and he shouldn't have been allowed in. We present our bounty paper and they allow us inside and lead us to the High Court Magistrar building. On the front door of the High Court Magistrar building is a gold and silver two-sided axe, engraved with a bright set of scales. The symbol of Onera, god of law, order and truth.
 
After waiting a while, we are greeted out the front by Samuel, a cheerful rotund human male in a long blue golden set of robes dragging on the floor, bald head who came out from the doors and invites us in. Samuel leads us to a well lit main room with a dome skylight and down some hall ways into a large extravagant office.
Inside this office, is a Tiefling woman with deep purple skin with elf like ears, glowing green eyes, hair black, braided and going back along the horns and over her shoulder, and priest type robes with a large purple gem at the collar bone. She introduces herself as Callmaster, head judicial voice, Lucinda Margaunt. Upon being in the office, Samuel becomes increasingly more anxious and nervous around her.
 
When we mentioned our bounty and then explained what happened, at the mention of the strange boar creature with tentacles as tails, she looks more worried and mentions the problem is worse than she thought to Samuel. She then mentions she wants to privately hire us for a bounty. A month ago a small helm stead was attacked by a group of Bug Bears that were sick, survivors said some of Bug Bears fell and winged creatures burst out of them.
 
Lucinda Margaunt wants us to investigate the Blacktop Pass. Will pay us 1000 gold for recon and will triple it if we deal with the problem. Stated to not get ourselves killed if it's out of our ability.
 
Myself and Austar ask about potential access to the Savantir Library, the sister library to the The Lorden Athaneum which is found in the capital of Laelosia, Laelos. Lucinda Margaunt granted us access and provided us with a symbol of Onera with her seal on it.
 
We made our way to the The Lords Lavish tavern, found in the Merchant's Hold, run by an overweight halfling male called Brada.
 
Myself and Austar make our way back to The Middling Grounds to go to the Savantir Library. We meet Adler Dusklark, Curator and Tome Keeper of the Savantir Library, a humanoid Barn Owl, 5ft 6, wearing black and golf robe over one shoulder and a brown and gold pauldron on the other. Symbols tattooed or painted on his wing.
 
I spend most of time finding and reading books on Moradin, looking for anything that mentions the Words of Moradin.
I now know the full story behind the Words of Moradin.
One brief mention of the pieces being scattered across the planet. It does mention that many people looked and excavated in Sansura for a long time to no avail centuries ago.
 
I also found a Herbalism book called "Tree's and Tea". Talks about using various foliage, leaves to make tea. Ape had requested Austar for herbalism books.
 
Austar and I also found a large book "Asgorath, the World Shaper, Sunset shadow" which gave us a lot of information surrounding Asgorath.
 
We also found out from Adler that to gain access to The Lorden Athaneum, need permission from someone in authority in the capital.
