Session 2 - Drunk and Disorderly

by Kaito "Oreson" Brinejaw

After our expedition within Wera's Barrow we decided to sit by a nearby tree to rest and recuperate. While we were resting I notice a group of 4 approaching us. A man named Gregor leading the group displays the same parchment with the quest we all just did. Gregor comes across as extremely cocky, noticing we were clearly injured. He also mentioned his father owns Preen's Laughterhouse in Marselv. He asks us what we're doing here and if we've already completed the mission. Austar lies to Gregor and states we went in but had to leave due to traps and ghosts. Gregor asks the big guy with the mace to check the Barrow. The big guy shouts after Gregor, who follows suit. The other 2 start to slightly circle around us. Ape throws his javelin at the skinny human with no weapon and initiates a battle with them.
 
The battle is long. I black out briefly but I hear Raskin shouting at me to get up. After the battle we decide to throw the bodies of the fallen down into Wera's Barrow.
 
We walk about 10 minutes before taking a quick break to recover and then head over to Marselv. We arrived not long after sunset. I head straight to the nearest tavern, which in turn is the Tumblehill Tavern.
 
The Tumblehill Tavern is run by Ol'Humphrey, an elderly 3ft tall Harengon in a short button downed shirt and puffy shirts. I get extremely drunk after having a shot of "xxxxxx" and lose 7 gold in a dice game with a fellow named Marcus. Shortly after I make my way to my room for the night.
 
I woke up the next morning my room filled with a poisonous gas which didn't affect me. I managed to concentrate on the source from my hand and stop it. I can seemingly now control the poisonous gas?
 
Austar and Ape struggled to control their newfound elemental power and destroyed their rooms.
 
We made our way to Sir Archibal Gruff's estate, where we were met by a Half-Elven woman named Evelyn (who we learned was just an enchantment of the house). The house was massive and it seemed like it took ages to get to the main chamber with multiple glass displays where Sir Archibald Gruff was waiting us.
 
Sir Archibald Gruff is Purple Dragonborn, 6ft 5 tall, dressed in an expensive suit. Smooth skin, not scaly. Above his head, not attached, were purple crystals gently spinning.
 
He told us why he was after the jewel, and it was to do with a childhood story he was told and had heard about the jewel granting some sort of power. We explained to him what happened in Wera's Barrow and described the strange light we saw which then granted us our elemental powers.
 
He suggested we looked into this further, specifically looking into Asgorath by going to the libraries in Pentareach or The Lorden Athaenaeum north of Laelos the main library of Laelosia, after Austar mentioned the Old Laelosian text in the Barrow. Also mentioned the Jewel Mines in Ordaska, would pay a pretty penny for whatever we found.
 
Sir Archibald Gruff paid us 50 gold each for the information we provided and the jewel and we left his estate, now deciding what we should do and where we should go. I believe we should go to Pentareach first, just in case the two libraries have different information.
