Session 9: Tordan
General Summary
The party began on the Demi-Plane of Metagaming. While here, the characters got to know each other and their motivations in the world. Rodan Spice decided they were all friends. Rodan Spice and Tork came to an agreement to help each other with finding the treasure or find Tork's horn. Kale and Alena Birch.
They additionally decided that should Rodan Spice do something in the future less than ethical, Tork will hang back in the tavern.
Following these agreements, the party woke up where they went to sleep in Pesh at 1:00PM of Solis 14, 2597. They have a dream like recollection of what occurred. When the party gathers in the streets of Pesh Kale talks about how bad he feels about killing a tree while Rodan Spice apologized for going against the party's wishes. The party discussed their options and decided to proceed to Gmail's Message Service to send some messages.
Tork sent the following message to Zirk:

With the usage of Gmail's Message Service complete, Rodan Spice shared with the party that he had received a clue from the voice, Jil’nan. As they discussed their next steps, Kale revealed he was still banished from home. They decided at the least to purhcase a map of the Doresak Desert, which they recieved on goatskin from Ternafal's Goods for 30gp (additionally Tork purchased 28 days worth of rations for himself and his pet).
The party then went into The Cactus Juicery to try to find passage to Ume and eventually Jil’nan. After a slowdown incident from Tork's pet, they were able to book passage on the "Best Reward" for 15gp each to Del where they are told a wizard might be willing to teleport them...
While on the ship, the party took some downtime actions. Tork learned Celestial two days and sharpened his weapon (temp +1 to hit for 24 hours) the last day of the trip. Rodan Spice learned Celestial for three days while Alena Birch learned Druidic from Kale (possibly pig latin) for three days. Kale foraged the sea floor for ship wrecks as a dolphin and found one from the Gu'us Empire. He was unable to open a rusted and barnacle covered chest in the captain's quarters, so he changed into a giant crab and brought it to the surface. Rodan Spice at first thought the giant crab killed Kale, but then it was learned Kale was the giant crab (to the relief of everyone). After both Tork and Rodan Spice failed to open the chest, Alena Birch with the assistance of giant crab Kale managed to pry it open. Inside they found 57 gp, 82 sp, a Flat Cap (worn by Kale the Crab), and Circlet for Alena Birch. Alena Birch determined the Flat Cap and Circlet were both magical, both having an enchament aura with Alena Birch's having a transmutation aura as well. Neither item was good or bad, just neutral.
However, this did lead to the revelation that Tork's pet was not quite undead, but definitely evil. Alena Birch attempted to communicate with it but was unable to do so. With their actions complete, the party arrived at the Northern most berth on the docks in Del at night on Solis 17, 2597. They were not interrogated by the Fisk Empire garrison present and allowed to head to the Scribe Inn where they slept for the night. The next morning they awoke and followed the advice of the second mate on the ship, heading for a shack north of town. They arrived at what appeared to be a 10ft. by 10ft. shack made of wood. It appeared very worn down, not well constructed, and generally unappealing. This being stated, they could not see through the slats on the side nor the gaps around the door. Tork knocked and heard a voice reply to his knock in his head "For fuck's sake... I told you not again.... wait... is that...". Tork thought back "Do I smell coffee and cigarettes?", but reiceved no reply and could not smell any either. As they began to discuss, they were pulled, one by one, against their will, through the hut. Tork first, then Kale, then Alena Birch, and finally a resistant Rodan Spice. So concludes the session on Solis 18, 2597.Tree is the Same as Couch and Door, You Can't Kill It

Zirk, Tork wants to see Zirk. Tork will be traveling with Tork's friends. Tork will love to see Zirk soon and wrestle ;) Tork
Zirk's Reply:
Tork, I too wish to see you again. In a fortnight I will be in Ume. On Solis 28, wrestle we shall.
Kale's Message to Athelas, his father, Leader of Nwyfre druidic commune:
Hello Father, Want to let you know I am fine, if you care. The stars still spell doom. I killed a tree. Help. Kale
Athelas Reply:
Stay away, your poison has spread and we are trying to root it out.
Rodan's Message to Alena Birch:
Another voice. It said 'Jil'nan'. I don't understand how this could be clue to the riddle. Tell her it is from Rodan.
Alena Birch's Reply:
Interesting. Okay.
