We quickly secured a place to stay our horse and cart and have the cart fixed. After, we went to the market and Skamos secured passage with a merchant ship with an old friend of his. We also found a pen of endless ink and parchment for Floran, and Floran exhibited his excellent drawing skills with a rendition of Skamos and his well-endowed lover Thyri. After such excursions, Skamos and I visited the Church of Faustina, as I was curious to learn more about my mother's religion. While we were there, we witnessed a mass lead by Ianatan Sedha. After the mass he passed through the throng of people to exchange pleasantries and caught Skamos, Anglor (who had joined us a little later) and I in conversation. He quickly found me out; up until this point I had not encountered anyone who knew more about my family than myself. In his office he divulged to me some of the importance of my parents in exchange for knowing my identity, and I was advised to speak with Skamos's father, Nasamos, in the Oasis. I was also gifted some of Ianatan's memoirs pertaining to time spent with my mother as well as a drawing of her and two of her friends. As we left I was lightly chided by Skamos, who seemed to know more of the importance of my father than I, whom I had thought a simple tradesman and gambler. I proceeded to spend the night drinking, unable to cope with what jumbled information I had learned.
While we sailed to the Oasis I did my best to read the memoirs but found myself interrupted, as my constitution waned with the rocking waves. Once we landed on the shores of the desert we were advised to follow the river and followed Skamos's lead. We fought three bug-men known as Thri-Kreen and returned the stolen robes of the Ancillary to the proper entities once we reached the city. We also stopped at a bathhouse and met Isidora, another friend of Skamos, and we were privy to hot baths before approaching the Ancillary. Upon approaching the Ancillary we noted that three trained wyvern were perched atop the back of the monastery. We briefly met Tiamos, Skamos's younger brother, who led us to Nasamos. We managed to interrupt his conversation with Mathias Ceinaghus, King of Aknir. Skamos was able to easily request Nasamos's assistance contacting Rieta and Skamos's mother regarding the assassination of Jane in Kraberkai. Nasamos also divulged that the King was interested in the monastery's assistance in locating a (most likely ancient) blue dragon that has been wreaking havoc in Aknir. Ultimately, Nasamos asked for a conversation with myself and offered us a potential wyvern escort back to Kraberkai. If I am reading the insinuation correctly, we are to find room and board here at the monastery while we wait for Nasamos to make contact with Rieta and barter with the King.
