Session 20230223 Velier and Ikal
General Summary
Day 9 continued, Calendar
As the Yeddim rest on the ground below Velier Bertrum Blumenthal bought 5 small gourds suitable for enchanting as canteens and some medical supplies to begin paying his debt to Mral Fortuna (such a small town does not have all that he needs, but its a start. The town has no tavern, it does have some restaurants and private houses that sell food and drink while providing somewhere to conmsume them as well as gossip. It's likely these house's rotate, depending on who has a surplus at the time. While they wandered around ascertaining this the party saw Big-Nose and Drenlar chatting with a three feet tall spider, were introduced to Ikal the Wolf-Spider and invited back to his house for dinner.
Bertrum's Journal
We arrived at a small town, and I set out to find some supplies I had promised a shaman back in the first town we visited. While wandering the town, we bumped into "Big Nose," the caravan guard captain, and the Caravan's "God." We also met an intelligent spider, who was the town's "Hetman." He invited us over for dinner, and we accepted the invitation. During the dinner, the spider asked if there was anything I could do to help with his venom. I came up with some ingredients, and I crafted a poison that he was very pleased with. We set out the next day, and on the way, we were attacked by a swarm of wasps. Nightshade was quick to dispatch them, but she got a scratch that seemed infected. I treated it with some herbs, and it seems to be healing well. We stayed the night at a small waystation, where we learned of some of the local dangers. Nightshade asked for some medicine to remedy the wasp sting, but the commandos didn't know how to make it. We camped there for the night, and I spent some time studying the wasp wings I had collected. I may find a use for them in my future projects. Tomorrow, we will continue our journey to the next town, and I hope it will be just as uneventful as today.
