Session 20: Foodie Feudey
General Summary
Session Report: The Abacus Team’s Latest Moves
The Blood Stain and Breakfast Feud
Following a previous incident, Keyes demanded that Vic clean up a blood stain in their shared dormitory. Though Vic complied, he was less than thrilled with how he was treated in the process. As a form of subtle rebellion, Vic channelled his frustration into the following morning's breakfasts. True to his Yuzan heritage, he crafted elaborate, delicious meals for Kolme, Mina, and Corrin, while serving Keyes only warm porridge and slop, underlining his defiance. When Keyes attempted to take one of the girls’ breakfasts for himself, both Vic and the others firmly intervened, insisting that his meal was prepared specifically for him. Meeting Balthazar Emberforge and Securing Thoughts
With the tension of recent events looming, the party prepared to face their dealings with the Blackhand. Their focus was on Breila and a method to safeguard sensitive information. Mina arrived with champagne for the meeting, but Breila was, unfortunately, absent. Kolme, meanwhile, checked her follower count on Sinstergram and found it improving, likely due to recent interactions with Mina. The party then connected with Balthazar Emberforge, a fire dwarf wizard, who used a clever cantrip to bottle and secure their thoughts. With these bottled thoughts hidden from detection, the group now believes the Blackhand views them as loyal allies, having removed any traces of betrayal from their minds. In exchange, the Blackhand took charge of the Dynamo, arranging for two new dwarven delivery operatives, Toodle and Pip, who wore silent, stealthy shoes that greatly excited Keyes, who now wanted a pair for himself. Discoveries and New Contacts Kolme took a bold step to peer into Brakkar’s mind, discovering that the buyer of the Dynamo is a powerful collector from hell. Mina recognized this figure as being tied to The Collector’s Keep in Los Voron’s affluent district. She texted her brother to gauge his interest in the Dynamo, suggesting its potential as an impressive engine for his upcoming race. He responded positively, sharing her enthusiasm. A Tense Visit to the Tailor On Keyes’ newfound quest for silent boots, the party visited the town’s finest tailor, Maressa. However, when Mina made a passing remark comparing the boots to Uggs—a brand produced by a renowned northern tailor—Maressa took great offense, interpreting it as an insult. Upset, she refused to continue business with them. Mina and Keyes, in turn, openly criticized her skill and her store, burning any chance of a future alliance. Plans to Steal the Dynamo In light of Mina’s conversation with her brother, the party discussed a backup plan should he become the Dynamo’s eventual buyer. Mina proposed potentially stealing it back if the situation called for it, leaving the door open to reclaim the valuable artifact if necessary. Artifact and Magical Upgrades Mina took the opportunity to commission Balthazar to forge enchanted ruby rings, now adorning her horns and emitting a cooling mist to keep mortals comfortable around her intense heat. Known as Rubies of Refreshment, they serve both a practical and aesthetic purpose, perfectly suited to her style. Meanwhile, Corrin received a unique item after opening her chest—Burnberry Belt of Hell Giant Strength. Powerful and stylish, it was a designer piece that delighted her, fulfilling her heart’s desire. Connections and Invitations
Corrin received a message from Diggindeepa on Hellpit, expressing interest in an Aragite dig site near the Dragon Spine Mountains. Corrin, familiar with the site’s dangers, advised caution but offered to meet him in Umcebo in the coming days. Given that he was relatively close, they may meet up soon, potentially uncovering new leads together. Establishing Identity: The Abacus Team
After much deliberation, the party finally settled on a name The Abacus Team. This solidified their identity and offered a united front as they continued their adventures. Kolme’s Quiet Moments
Kolme penned a letter to the Great Old One (GOO), though she kept the contents private for now. She also grabbed a few chupuchupus on her way out of the market, adding a small note of lightheartedness to the day’s events. During downtime on the airship, she devised a puppet show to entertain herself and the crew. Yet, she gazed at the Solomon Puppet with a tinge of sadness, hinting at a more somber memory. Corrin’s Research and Abyssal Curiosity
With all else on her mind, Corrin also took the opportunity to search for more information about the Abyssal Enclave. She intends to continue her research, keeping an eye out for the right library or resource to uncover any hidden details.
