Sept 30

Zintris and Marya discuss disguises
 
Zintris does not believe they should go to their family all things considered - and asks about sleeping at the empty Lavant house
 
Discussion on where to stay - would the Pahla’s be bold enough to send someone into the Pentemarket to the Inn.
 
Komaria wants to look into the fabric shop
 
Melech asks Vera about getting info from the Cobalt Soul
Vera says the help could be had - there's someone would possibly be aligned to their goals.
 
(A little on the naive side, and young - in her 20s, Expositor Selena
bright and cheery, passionate about Ioun but doing good for goodness sake. If she has a conflict, it's only if helping a person is more important than Ioun's tenets.)
 
They discuss appearance changes - darker hair for Zintris and Marya. Frosted tips for Seb? Spa day!
 
Melech is not interested in a ♫ spa day ♪ THREE HOURS AFTER BURYING HIS MOTHER thank you very much.
 
Knock at the door - Zintris answers. She opens the door to find her mother standing there, holding a pot of some food intended for the grieving family.
 
"You were just the person I was going to see!" The woman immediately starts fussing over her daughter. Seeing Melech, presents the pot of soup.
 
There's an awkward exchange and explaining the family is gone.
An invite over to her home to eat to the whole group.
 
Marya - we definitely don't do circus-work.
 
Komaria buys 5 bottles of expensive ass wine. 250 gold!
 
After a session of new outfit choices and hair dying - Zintris and Komaria head to the market to find the noble contact. They find him currently putting on the appearance of someone doing a shady deal, but very much in the open. He is clearly dressed as someone's stereotype of criminal underworld.
 
Zintris says they don't have time - and spooks the "mark" that was being worked on.
 
Komaria presents the gift - a crate with the wine tucked under some random veggies from Melechs house.
 
He mistakes it for a suggested con - the farmer selling illicit wine.
After a frustrating conversation - the contact agrees to meet the next day.
 
Seb goes shopping and commissions a mask from Tourmaline - after some discussion of options for enchanted masks, settles on one with a symbol of Erathis on it.
 
Melech and Vera look up info on the fabric shop - it's run in a company town style manner. Near the Eisfus river. A little NW of the bridge to Felderwin. Poor quality of life.
 
Assasination attempt -
 
Confirm household family
 
Find Selena - wearing wizardy robs (arcana cleric). Long hair, auburn, braided.
 
Confirms the Vecna investigation
 
Asking about soultrice
heard gossip - Amar was relieved to be let go
but was usually asking about unrelated things
 
Vera has Selena send a message: "Friend wants to know about former student, trying to sort gossip from truth, Vera will write you with details, is that ok?"
Available before sundown. Prof. Proudspirt
practical abjuration
 
Vera offers a hug, Selena stands - mushy romance book falls to the floor
