Zadash, city of light, city of magic

by Marya Silverstring

So we're still skirting towards the outskirts of Zadash
Though it's already decently late
Took a couple of days travel to get there
 
Sooo no direct visiting of Melech's family as long as we have the evil stuff....
Melech wants to bring the stuff to some father Geldor though
Also we have the person we saved with us, Sarah Baste
At least she has a home in the city
Aaaand the group doesn't wanna sell the evil artifacts, welp at least we talked about it
 
So we get to a temple to the raven queen and it smells pretty iffy, well what does one expect from a hospital?
At least we're getting close to getting rid of the useless evil stuff
And Melech seriously expects Seb and me to steal from the donation bowl? Seriously? O.o
Okay Melechs priest friend is pretty touchy-feely in the greetings
 
Soooo the stuff we found are replicas, simple bootleg things~
We stay a while talking about the whole experience with the vampire dude
Also we should offer/sell them to the Cobalt Soul oo'
So off to the Cobalt Soul we go, though Melech and Seb actually contemplated simply resting first รด.o
 
We get a couple of looks but nothing too bad
On the way there we come across the magical shop we heard about earlier
Idealia's Imperfections - Handcrafted Magical Wares - Zadash
 
Stepping inside to the Cobalt Soul place we of course get more weird looks
Melech directly asks for the local manager pulling his religious rank
We actually get one
Of course they're hesitant to immediately believe us
They're careful about it, but they seem to believe
They're called Liv and they're gonna send a group to check out the stuff we talked about
 
If our stuff checks out, we might get hired for future jobs
We shouldn't expect them back for a month
Seb and Melech give their names, I don't (after all we just lead the Cobalt Soul to the Myriad owned mine for a deep search operation)
After that we head out and find ourselves a place to stay
 
Balak doesn't want to rat out his colleagues
But he definitely knows stuff about the smuggling of dragon eggs
He won't rat us out or interfere, but he won't support us with it
I really skirt the line with a comparison of a mother asking us to get their child back, but he doesn't budge
Well lets see where this takes us
 
After a comfortable night, there's even fruit from the last evening on the side table
There's a small trip to the bank involved as well as a trip to the tailor
Then to the magic store together with the rest of the group
The shop has an autoclean and autorepair feature for our clothes
It seems it's managed by an entity called Thourmalin, a construct like the one we met
Melech wants to buy a ring of spell storing which could 2k
 
Suddenly the shop starts shaking
There's something invisible lunging towards the shopkeeper
Seb and me dive against the invisible thing
And just when I considered getting a bag of holding
The invisible thing slips through my grasp, but Seb gets it
It's at least 10 feet long
