Session 42: Melody, Natalie, Natasha, Nadine
General Summary
The session began late into the evening, immediately following King Jorip's Speech to the assembled gala at the Royal Palace in Skormp on HearthWarmth 14, 2597. As the king left the hall, Tork tired to start a foodfight by throwing a platter with a cheeseball and dried bread. This hit two women and stained their gowns. Their dates came over (as the rest of the party scattered) and demanded payment the dresses which Tork handed over (800gp).
Alena Birch and Wren used their time to act as Wallflowers and observe the crowd while Atticus disappeared for a bit before coming back and complaining about anti-magic issues. Rodan Spice attempted to acquire drugs but was unsucceful and ended up going back to the party's room with his date he picked up, Melody.
Atticus joined in a conversation with some elderly gentleman who were discussing the king's announcement. One of them, Peter Welnisa, a rotund Gentleman had some pointed view on the commoners as did his elven compatriot. Their dwarven colleague was less eager for blood to flow (from the Sand Druids or the common folk in the Squalor of Skormp) but was in the minority. The group openly told Atticus they operated on information and money as only tokens of power and spent both wisely in wise places. With this Atticus, a bit frustrated, bowed out for the evening and all party members returned to the Cloud and Stars Inn.
As the morning rolled around on HearthWarmth 15, 2597, the party set off in different directions. Alena Birch bought some fire and exploding arrows while Tork had Zirk purchase for him a wearable owlbear pelt. Rodan Spice along with Tork went to visit Roland Spice in the palace dungeons (Rodan Spice used his hat of disguise to look like Cesantar Spice). Atticus followed behind invisible, not revealing himself until while waiting for a guard to confirm their visit, the two talked about their sexual exploits from the night prior. When let in, as Rodan Spice steps onto the palace grounds his disguise vanishes and Atticus stops recognizing an anti magic effect. Tork and Rodan Spice make their way deep under the palace grounds to the dungeon and are escorted by a guard to talk with Roland Spice.
During their encounter, Rodan Spice shoves it in his fathers face how he is the new head of the family and his father lost everything. Roland Spice is defeated by still angry and threatens to kill Rodan Spice if he ever gets out which Rodan Spice says he never will. Rodan Spice leaves after saying
At the inn, a philosophical conversation unfolds in the party about what their next move should be. Rodan Spice is in favor of taking the massive boat and going to the Gu'us Empire as he is upset by the genocide of the Sand Druids but not enough to disrupt their current machinations. Atticus takes the side of them caring about the Sand Druids and punishing genocide in general. Rodan Spice then brings up the point he does not see the situation as cut and dry one way or another. The preservation of a desert is compared with feeding an Empire. Atticus reminds Rodan Spice that people do not want this and this isn't the Empire focusing on its people's needs; instead they are lining their pockets by partnering with The Oasis Society. Kale chimes in that the King doesn't need anymore money given the massive amount of wealth present in the palace, even in the floor and ground itself. Alena Birch also adds the point that There Are Different Ways to make the desert habitable Without Killing All the People. They ultimately decide to go ahead towards the Gu'us Empire as there is nothing they can do in the present moment, but need to learn more and find a way to respond.
Before leaving the city, Atticus and Rodan Spice go on a mission together to the Korras Family estate on behalf of Rom Laren "The Raven" per their previous agreement (where Rom offered them the name of a family involved in the The Oasis Society in exchange for them doing a job for him). As such the two break into the Korras family home and through investigation find a written in copy of the "Korras Family Ancestory" including titles over the current Lady Korras of "whore" and the current heir of the estate as "bastard of my manservant". This book was taken to Rom Laren "The Raven" who was grateful to have the information to embarass the family. He mentioned the gathering of the Talons of the Claw in Skormp soon but did not offer much more information beyond that.
The next day on HearthWarmth 16, 2597 Joint Operations LLC checked out of the Cloud and Stars Inn, retrieving a rotund Cameel. Making their way to the docks, they came to the massive warship behemoth freshly rechristened as the Absolute Majesty III. Onboard they met Advisor Sil'a who would be their primary liason with the crew of the ship on the voyage and assistant as needed on their mission. After showing them around to the various parts of the ship and withholding some information from them, the ship got underway. Advisor Sil'a let them know it would be roughly a four week trip to Foun. Rodan Spice decided to have a party to celebrate the acquisition of the ship that evening, a main party on the promenade deck and an after/VIP party in the Captain's Suite. With the party information to be distributed to the crew via the Cabin Boy, the session ended around midday on HearthWarmth 16, 2597.Started Drinking at 3:30PM

And you've never pleased a woman!Making their way back outside, Atticus tests the anti-magic barrier by dispeling one of its sources and trying to cross onto the palace grounds as Tork and Rodan Spice return. He turns visible for a brief second before vanishing again, leaving him to think there are multiple anti magic devices at work. With this, they all head back to the Cloud and Stars Inn.
