Session 71: Year in Review

General Summary

Zephyr

The only downtime activities I can see Zephyr doing are commissioning better armor for himself (+2 breastplate, perhaps) Intelligence Check (7,000 gp for +2 breast plate) Researching what the next step is to stopping grugaran and his lackeys from taking over Herald’s Holdfast with Worm, along the way home, he meets Vargo Poses as a former huntsman for the Eaerlann in Karse (Karse = Kothozo) See “Reoccuring NPC’s - Wulgreth

Willow

Would have tried to see if I could go talk with Arcanist Eudora and ask her if she could spend some time with her learning more about how magic works and asking her for guidance. Ask her more about her uncle and see if she sees any resemblance between her and him. Eudora resides in the Host Tower of the Arcane in Luskan Ask everyone if they have encountered a library in their travels and if they do then go see if I can find it. Find books about deities or devils or fiends and try to look everywhere for books about Maraxax No information; Bael, the Duke of Hell however there is. See Bael in Reoccuring NPCs Scry on my family and see how they are doing and try to decide if I want to go visit them or not. Probably cave in to go visit them in the last span of the year and spend time meeting my new baby sister who is probably not a baby anymore and gets to see what they have been up to. Also while being there I will bond with the closest tree near my house. I would try to find the biggest tree out there. With the help of Shane; you discover they are well and currently in Goldenfields (recognize the Goldengulp Brewery) Improvise I want to try to go find some better armor. I want to try to find some cool dark wood breastplate. Also, try to see if I can make my staff into bracers so I can wear them all the time so I can use it during wild shape. Very powerful magic; it could be possible but would have to be done by someone very experienced with those items (Jack Dawkins perhaps) Buy a cool journal and write down everything that has happened and write down everything that I remember from being with Morklav. Even though the memories of when I helped do their evil deeds are different, I want to try to remember all the places that I have been so if we end up going there in the future I am already prepared to maybe change how I look or hide. Wisdom Check: 12 (Success = 20 Wisdom) Proficiency in Arcana Maybe she will try to see if she can go on a date with someone. She wants to know what real love is because she still feels very confused about the feelings that she had for Morklav so over the year may be in the library there is a really nice human or half-elf librarian that has helper find all the books she asks for. He starts recommending her some other books and then they start talking and they bond over their love of books and their curiosity about the world but she can’t shake the feeling that being with another person is not right. Something inside tells her that she can not be with anyone. So it does not really work but they still continue being really good friends. What library? Can enlist the help of the Harpers if she wishes Herald’s Holdfast with Zephyr? Jak’dal Kemp; works for Jack Dawkins? Bonding and cake competition

Bolivar

Satisfied with the recent accomplishments of his group fighting evil, wants to spend his downtime building a greater connection to sylvanus. To do so, he will begin a pilgrimage riding from town to town volunteering his services to the neediest townsfolk in whatever help they need. In every town or every people’s he comes across he will take time to use the plant growth spell to create or enhance a garden dedicating it to sylvanus in the hopes it inspires people to follow the god. Religion Check: 9 (Success = Proficiency in Religion) Catch wind of increased tensions with Citadel Felbar He will also use speak with animals constantly in order to better understand the animals he comes in contact with so he can know their motivations to help in dealing with similar animals in the future. Nature Check: 13 (Success = Proficiency in Nature) He will also dedicate himself to incorporate his growing understanding of nature into his fighting style and abilities. This includes continuing to incorporate the best of nature has to offer, like dragons scales, horns, spores of varying effects, etc into his armor and weapons. His aim is to reach lvl 3 class of warrior and opt for the battle styles which, imbued with nature’s elements, will make him much more effective and flexible in melee combat. Strength = 20 Charisma = 18 Armor of the Ancients if Rolls are High Enough

Ivellios

The Year Goes By Story Ivellios would say his goodbyes to the group by leaving them each a miniature painting of the one in Citadel Adbar. Each of their heads represented the pairs of gentility. He’d sign each of the paintings and also attach copies of his new ballad/novel "The Adventures of the RagTags and their Glorious Bardic Leader Ivellios Brightwood Esquire" With a note: “Don’t worry. It’s being published and distributed everywhere.” Gaining Renown; Performance check: 9 (Success = Every large city they go to, they have a 25% chance that they know them - if they do, party gains Advantage on all checks) Performance check: 20 + 2,000 gp marketing Gaining investors +1 Renown Vel would disappear for sometime and send workers/money for a temple of Mystra on behalf of his sister and Willow’s. But he’d make every effort he could to disguise himself where he went to no longer be recognized and even paying for someone to make sure he wouldn’t be scryed on and wearing an amulet that prevents scrying as well. Donation Amount = 1,400 PP Paid protection = 3,000 GP +5 Renown During his time traveling, he would work on his lock picking skills to not get blown up again, spend time listening instead of talking, and perform at various taverns under the alias, Filou. Whatever money he got working taverns, carnivals, festivals; he’d send to the temple of Mystra in Daggerford and Willow. Performance Check: (Success = 500-1,500 GP) He would also finish his second novel/ballad, sending it to his publisher in Waterdeep titled, “The Untold Story of the Clayers: The Heroes Who Defeated Tiamat”. Using extensive research, bribery, and first hand experience with one of the fabled members, Ivellios crafted the full story of what transpired with those heroes. Gaining Renown: Performance check: 26 (Roll made with Advantage) Filou Renown +2 With the end of the year coming up, his books published, and still not satisfied about his growth away from his friend; he takes up refuge in Neverwinter when the wanderlust begins to die down. He looks to use his writings, and tongue, to learn all he could about the Dodkong, interplanar travel, and the Titan Stones. Occasionally, he’d get into trouble by picking up the mandolin and playing in Taverns crude songs about the politicians in Neverwinter. He DEFINITELY pissed off people. Dodkong info: In Neverwinter he learns of the events of Mount Hotenow that nearly destroyed Neverwinter. It has come home to many fire elementals and rumored red dragons. This lead you down a rabbit hole as you became obsessed about the 4 elemental plates: fire earth, air, and water. Each of them has their own respective cults which are still very active to this day with a large concentration in the Dessarin Valley where many of you are from. Discovered that there is actually an open rift into these planes that are rumored to still be currently active. Normally would pay no mind and your curiosity was nearly sated until you came upon an item known as a Devastation Orb which has the ability to engulf entire continents if large enough. Even more terrifying you learned that there are 4 of them; each cult is in the possession of 1.

Olga

She will convert her family home to a super successful bar in citadel adbar and begin selling her own brews but she will have people in place to basically run it for her so she can just walk around drinking beer and chatting with people (maybe Ellie can help her convert it and make it cool) Business Rules Will study the last journal of Gemadan Mor’du to learn more about dragons and hopefully her weapon for as much as she loves it she fears it a little Collection of all major events within the past 1,500 years in Faerun Proficiency in History (Advantages on events within Faerun) Spending a long rest with the Book gives Advantage Approached by Mor’du in a dream Gragnak is both a piece of Mor’du and Gemadan. She gave Olga her gift because she felt she was worthy. Their souls will forever be imparted into Gragnak until Gragnak’s thirst is sated with the Blood of the Five Ancients; the Chroma Convocation Irymrith the Doom of the Desert Maelesator Rex (High Moor) Arveiaturace the White Wyrm "Iceclaws" (Icewindale) Claugiyliamatar "Old Gnawbone" (Kryptgarden Forest) Klauth the Dragon of the North "Old Snarl" Beer names: mommy’s milk (IPA), Iymrith’s reckoning (Red Ale), Bardus’ Bucket (every brew poured into a stein), With a whiskey floater, “It’ll put the hair right on your chest”
