Session 13 - The Caravan Strikes Out

General Summary

• The party returns to The Beggar's Dog Inn to share drinks and stories
• Olut's turn for questioning about:
• Marriage - It's an ancient rite of ritual magic, but not his focus at the moment
• What exactly is Old Magic - Storytelling is a connection to the foundations of magic that rose out of tales of yore. Where modern magic is like a readily available beer, old magic is the microbrew that you personally slaved over. There are rumors of an ancient spell carved into obsidian under the island of Latavai 
• Haeni asks if folks have seen magic instruments in their travels
• Lerissa, who had been sitting quietly, is dragged into the conversation. She assures the group that she's okay and that her connection to the fey will not burden them
• Asks the party if they too have been experiencing terrible dreams, they haven't
• Tells the group that she visited a cleric and that he suggested that Tasaria might be a hag
• Gang suggests that assertion might be a magic vs. religious thing
• Prince suggests that her tarot reading might have sparked something
• Party asks if they should delay fixing the issue, Lerissa says no
• Wonder why it only targets Lerissa
• Party wants to chase down Tasaria, Lerissa deflects until at least tomorrow
• Party (less Liber) gets wasted, Tarla leaves them to lock up
