Session 41: An Accessory to Committing Atrocities
General Summary
The session began at 11PM on HearthWarmth 12th around 11PM at the Cloud and Stars Inn. When staff came to check on the commotion, Rodan Spice kept them out and Atticus identified the Bow of Artemis for Alena Birch. The party then slept until the following morning after Wren cast an alarm spell to safeguard them at night.
The next morning when having a conversation about what to do next, Rodan Spice received a Gmail form his brother Cesantar Spice:
On their way back to their room for the evening, Alena Birch took the party back to Artemis' temple to return the bow. The priestess informed them it would be returning with the priestess herself to the headquarters of the order in Foun once she had her replacement later this week. Alena Birch asked if she might be able to transport it, and while asking, a blinding light engulfed the room and a strong feminine voice rang out:
With minor tasks accomplished, the party headed to the palace located in the center of the Ward of Nobility within Skormp. The 25' wrought iron wall surrounding the 1/4 mile diameter property had four gates for entrance, each guarded by 6 royal guards. Lights on top of the wall illuminated below and invitations were checked, weapons and magical items removed, and entry granted to those going to the gala. When the party came forward to do so, they turned over almost all their weapons and Atticus used an exceptionally timed counterspell to block the detect magic and allow almost all of their magical items to enter the gala with them. The courtyard was completely slabs of marble interlaced with silvery threads and magical lights. Outside the grand hall several hundred nobles conversed but the party pushed through them and another round of door guards to enter the grand hall.
The grand hall was 200' by 600' with five story gothic ceilings. Food, drink, dancing, and fraternizing were all available as well as a great many stationary and mingling guards. Over 2,000 people were in attendance inside. While figuring out what to do, Tork made pineapple his mission, Rodan Spice tried to find how to get entrance to the king, Alena Birch and Atticus danced (including a return of the Bow of Artemis from Atticus' wrist pouch to Alena Birch's back under her dress during the dance. Kale was a parrot and Wren observed.
Once Rodan Spice found how to get their audience valued, the party was escorted through a long ornate hallway to a small and simple room. The king's receiving chamber was 30'x30' with 20 guards lining the walls, carpet on the floor, and a pale man sitting at a table inviting them to join him. King Jorip conversed with the players, telling them he had work for them, and even more once he learned Rodan Spice was who he was. The King proposed the party seek out an individual named Miz who was a rogue mage wanted by the empire. He thought the party would be good at this since they had proven themselves by killing the monster under the Ward of Nobility. Knowing Rodan Spice's lineage, he suggested Rodan Spice serve as ambassador to the Gu'us Empire with the Joint Operations LLC as his staff. This would come with perks like a ship renamed to the Absolute Majesty III that would be theirs after the mission was complete, diplomatic writs of passage, and more. While negotiating this deal the party eventually accepted, Atticus was trying to gain information on the arrest of Roland Spice and managed to get the king (who will not remember such) to react to the name of The Oasis Society (Oasis Guild). Before leaving Atticus criticized the security and their ability to pass through with magical items. The King had his guards turn on an anti-magic field sending Kale back into firbolg form for a brief moment to prove he still had tricks up his sleeve.
With this, the party went back to the grand ballroom and 45 minutes later heard the King's Speech from about 200' back through magical amplification. King Jorip shared how Roland Spice had attacked the Louron family and beyond that had become overzealous and ordered the execution of the Sand Druids in the Doresak Desert. The King also announced the crown and Fisk Empire were partnering with the The Oasis Society (Oasis Guild) to support future stability with a fertile crescent in the former Doresak Desert. With thunderous applause, the King left and Tork wondered aloud if they were going to have to kill the King. This ended the session in the late evening on HearthWarmth 14, 2597 at the Gala at the Palace in Skormp.Teaching the Toilet a Hard Lesson

The next morning when having a conversation about what to do next, Rodan Spice received a Gmail form his brother Cesantar Spice:
"Gmail From Cesentar: Father has been arrested on unspecified charged. I'm in charge now. Instructions?"Rodan Spice decided along with the party they needed to meet in person to discuss, but not at the Spice Estate nor at the Cloud and Stars Inn. With some errands needing to be ran to get appropriate attire for the Gala, they went to Kio's Room Rental where they purchased a modest unfurnished room for the day (short term corporate office space), L3. Cesantar Spice met the party and filled them in the Roland Spice was arrested by the royal palace guards (uncommon occurrence) and he didn't know the reason. The party shared they might have committed atrocities for which Roland Spice was being held, but ultimately they did not know for sure. They agreed the best course of action for now was to go to the gala, meet with the king, and go from there.
On their way back to their room for the evening, Alena Birch took the party back to Artemis' temple to return the bow. The priestess informed them it would be returning with the priestess herself to the headquarters of the order in Foun once she had her replacement later this week. Alena Birch asked if she might be able to transport it, and while asking, a blinding light engulfed the room and a strong feminine voice rang out:
"The bow will stay with Alena. Danger is coming. It is time for it to not sit in dusty estuaries, but to be used. Wield it well."Alena Birch took the Bow of Artemis and the party returned to their room at the Cloud and Stars Inn for the night. The next day (HearthWarmth 14, 2597) some shopping occurred to ready themselves for the gala further. Zirk and Tork purchased some fine suits (middling), Atticus purchased green dresses for Alena Birch and Wren. Kale purchased some reagents and Rodan Spice stripped so the staff at the inn could clean his clothes.
With minor tasks accomplished, the party headed to the palace located in the center of the Ward of Nobility within Skormp. The 25' wrought iron wall surrounding the 1/4 mile diameter property had four gates for entrance, each guarded by 6 royal guards.
