A Ghost, a Fence, and an Auction

Miscellaneous

The party takes some well needed rest. Orpheus and Wilphose dispose of a Ghost, and Wilphose strikes up a deal with the Order of the Silver Mind.

The party carefully makes their way back to Stonehill Keep. After facing a bit of recent failure they need a break. In Stonehill they take the time to relax. They visit the Fence with which Wilphose has a decent relationship with. There they sell some of the treasure they found, as well as purchasing some items of interest. The Fence tells Wilphose that the auction he desired is going forward as planned. On the 21st day of the 10th month, the auction will be held in Kurleigh Castle. The Fence is leaving immediately so as to make it on time and safely, and she suggests Wilphose does the same.

With that business out of the way the party takes a break. Not ones for sitting around, Wilphose and Orpheus find their way to the home of Pedro, an aging, wheelchair bound Monster Hunter. He shows them a few bounties for creatures that need dealing with in the area and the two decide to go after a ghost. They follow the bounty's directions to an old house outside the city. Within they quickly discover the ghost and, after a brief fight, destroy it.

On their return to the town, Wilphose manages to get an audience with Kanamahl Calder, and discusses a possible working relationship. He describes the tomb they intend to revisit and Kanamahl agrees he and the party would work well together. They draw up a contract for treasure seeking and Wilphose leaves on amiable terms.

Meanwhile, while resting in his room at the tavern, Kithu is visited by The Seraph and The Prophet. They ask him if he feels he would be up to the task of reaching the Tome of the Gods. It would be a gruelling task to attain the power necessary to face the challenge on The Silver Islands, and even then there was no guarantee of success. Thinking it over, Kithu agreed. The gods then blessed him with celestial power, and vanished, leaving Kithu with his thoughts.

Eventually, when they had rested, the party headed out again back towards Basin, The tomb, and finally, Kurleigh Castle.
