New Leads
After we had officially rid the abandoned church of Kraberkai of magic associated with Paracelcus, we reconvened at the Yngvild Mead Hall with Eir the priest and Odinkar the friendly blacksmith to celebrate in our ventures. There, we took solace and merriment for the time being: Skamos misinterpreted lusty looks and placed chess with a Half-Orc woman named Thyri to protect his virginity, and Anglor became piss-drunk as she mourned the end of her world while Floran made friends with the townsfolk that no longer openly gawked at him. After our night of revelry I took about the town to visit the job board and find any new leads regarding Paracelcus or similar ill-tidings. I found a post from the Lord of Kraberkai requesting assistance with notes of discretion, which seemed more enticing than helping a poor woman find a better pickaxe. After I had taken this job and was going about the town hawking for rumors I was approached by the Priestess and Cleric Jane of the Order of Masamune. She gave me a proposition very similar to that of the Lord of Kraberkai. I told her that I was willing to listen and went to gather the party seeing that I was not gather as much intel as I had hoped.
We first decided to meet with the Lord of Kraberkai (as we all loathed the idea of visiting Jane), and met with him regarding his discreet issue. Upon meeting with him, we were quick to realise the inciting reason for the town's societal haphazardness. He informed us that his mission pertained to curing his daughter Madison of recent voicelessness. We were able to communicate in writing and find that about a year and a half ago she crossed paths with what to her appeared to be a veiled, elderly female elf while frequenting her favorite food shoppe. With this information in hand and wanting to no longer stay in the pigsty of a Lord's office, we made our way to the Temple of Masamune. We met with Jane, who had such a long pole up her ass she could have been used as a banner for snobbish prudes, and she let us know of a nearby mine that was rumored to contain Mithril. She didn't know more than that there was supposedly mithril there - she had sent parties to retrieve the or (or materials made of ore) yet none had returned. We agreed that we would assist and be paid either in coin or by having items forged from the excess mithril. We tried questioning Jane about Madison's symptoms and she had little to no information (as she did the last time we sought her help) so we decided to return to Eir to see if he had any information. Jane also lent us a map of Aknir that is by far the best-crafted that I have yet seen. I intend on keeping it in my possession, as I feel it will not service Jane as well as it will us.
Upon returning to Eir's home we woke him from his slumber and proceeded to question him before his daily prostrations. He informed us that a man had confessed about a year ago to hiring a hag (possibly of a larger coven) to cursing the poor girl because the confessor grew tired of how the Lord of Kraberkai ran the city. We implored him to seek council with his god regarding letting us know the name of the confessor while we went and searched for more details at the Hag's coven. If we do happen across the hag who cursed her, we were advised by Eir to take her tongue back so he could try to help Madison.
From there we decided to visit the cook that Madison had seen the day she lost her voice, a woman named Ella who had a stand at the established market. She was kind enough and gave us 4 days' rations and a strudel each for 1 silver. She then had a similar proposition to that of the Lord of Kraberkai and of Jane, so we agreed to meet her at her home after the hour of five. After we had made most of our plans for the day, we decided to also stock up on some traveling gear. We entered a store known as Yonder Mountain that was run by a dwarf named Lambchop Baggis. Baggis was quite haughty about our purchasing of tents and sleeping bags, but we were able to haggle for 4 sleeping bags and 2 tents at the price of being banished from his shop, which all-in-all was quite a deal--a steal, even!
After this we took in more of the town and learned more about the general area as we waited for Ella to return to her home for our meeting. Upon meeting at the appointed time, Ella invited us inside and also invited us to sabotage the business of a Albon refugee who was taking away her customers. As we refused to do this (given the insanity of the request), we suggested that she instead partner with this merchant, which is apparently prohibited by the Lord of Kraberkai, and that this segregation of Albons and Kraberkai inhabitants is not well received by many of the common people, and Ella also speculated that the Lordship and the Temple of Masamune were in each others' pockets, so to speak. From there, we also learned that Ella is not a worshipper of Masamune, but of Paracelcus. Despite this she was friendly enough to let us investigate her home as she became abhorred once we enlightened her on "everlasting life" truly meant. Anglor found a tome tucked under some floorboards that had logs of how the church's desecration grew since the 600's. We confiscated the book for further study and encouraged her to find worship in a new god after our findings.
To end our eventful day we returned to the home of Eir, where we ate our fill and now intend to sleep so we may set out on our journey to the mine well-rested.
