We pick up with Ember and Vik being beckoned into the room. Izek gets a little upset that Vikta hesitates, Vikta motions to Ember to go before her. Vikta really doesn’t like this town or these people. She’s 1000% uncomfy.
“You enjoy beasts no?” -Baron
Oh boy he’s a canine lover for sure.’
Being from beyond the fog makes him think we are special guests. He wonders why we are here. Ember mentions the blacksmiths gift, and that makes him *very* happy.
He compliments Vikta. She’s uncomfy. Vikta goes to fetch Dunal, so he can talk with the Baron. He gives Ember wine (dragon crush?), and she drinks a hearty sip. And is promptly very tipsy/drunk.
He’s been breeding Mastiffs for ever (his family has been doing so as a family hobby I guess?).
AND THERE IT IS FOLKS! *Ember* asking about how much a puppy is. I KNEW SHE WOULD!! She wants to take them away from here.
Gimme the puppies NO LEAVE THE PUPPIES WE NO TRADE RAVEN.
No never trade XD What kinda monster do you take me for??? Leo is my besty.FUCK NO. Not my babies, only collect, never trade.
Lmao! XD You be desperate. <3 I say that with alllll the love. <3 <3
Dunal places the box upon the desk for the Baron to inspect. He gets a coin purse from the Izek dude, and is pleased with it.
Ember gives him a perfect direwolf pelt, and he gives her wine in return. He mentions the cult massacre.
Vikta and Ember save the day with distracting the Baron with the start of a tale of the Red Brand Bandits. He asks them to join him for dinner to share the tale of the Bandits.
Vikta and Ember go for a bath.
Party talks downstairs while they bathe, and discuss what the party is up to. Then the Baron and Baroness join them.
Vikta and Ember rush to rejoin the party, and then regale the Baron and Baroness with a tale of the Red Band Bandits. A young man interrupts us--acting a little snooty/shy, its Victor, their son. He gathers food and jets upstairs.
Vikta talks to the Baron telling the next story about how they all met. Vikta tells a grand tale, telling the truth but also telling so many lies. She shares her book with the Baron and he mentions he has dabbled in magic--and has a grimoire.
He wants us to deliver wine to the church for access to his grimoire.
Kenji decides to devour even more cake being a petty ass bitch about his pastries <3. WE PROMISED YOU AMBROSSIA. :P
There is a more ornate made outfit in another room. Suspicious. There was an “incident” recently. The headmaid and butler vanished. Everyone is piiiiiissed they vanished on the house.
Izek tells Saryn to smile. And keep happy appearance--there’s a darker underlying creepy tone we’ve all noticed.
Upon hearing this information, Saryn inquires about the laws and penalties noticed in town. Izek explains that “malicious unhappiness” is an offense punishable by imprisonment and public humiliation via plaster donkey heads worn in place of the offender’s own head.
Saryn asks of the maximum punishment for a crime, to which Izek responds….”Death”
The party spots more shops as Vikta reads and follows behind them.
We go into the clothing shop, the place smells floral. We hear a rather sweet and small voice. Lottie store owner. Ember is getting her clothes repaired as Vikta spots a new shop to go to, the 3rd eye potions and sundries.
Kenji decides to head back to the blacksmith and purchase a new set of studded armor.
Vikta goes to the potions shop. The sound of bubbling broths brewing fill the air.
A set of ashen grey/tanned fingers a rather beautiful human--elf with light light brown hair nearly white. Dressed in color attire--familiar in Valakian style with pops of vibrant colors seen worn on Vistani garbs, violet eyes.
Enough components to make (3) Health Potions.
Rictavio spots us! We have a nice chat and get some apples!
Saryn and Ember don’t want to go in, Ember bites her lip till it bleeds-Dunal awkwardly wipes it away.
Vikta choses to stay with the pair so they aren’t alone--Vikta doesn’t like churches either but she’s able to handle it. Dunal hears his prayers of the Father Lucien. But uh… he’s not sounding sane.
Morning Lord no answer.
The man is grateful for his wine. He reports even more tensions rising.He hoped Dunal could find the bones, the missing bones of the saint. Without them there’s not enough power--or so he feels.
The kid, Milivoj, who might have taken the bones, is upset over his siblings being failed by the church.
Father Lucien speaks of Milivojs plight in grief as he mentions another time he had failed his flock. Yeska, the small altar boy and crier for the church is revealed to be an orphan fostered by Lucien under tragic means.
The boy's mother came to mass, stood in front of the sermon and slit her throat, dying in front of her child. Lucian took the boy under his wing, he wanted to save his people. Begs Dunal for help.
Lol sorry
OH DEAR GOD I AM GONE FOR less than 10min and so much shit happens. Lol
We discuss options and well...we will give the saints bones the night.
LEO IS COMING IN HOT. HE DRUNK AS A SKUNK.
Leo’s seen Madam Ava recently? O.0’
Drunk raven passes out. Madam Ava brought more issues to Stan-the-man. So we need to hurry it up as there are more “developments”.
Kenji starts the interrogation, Dunal adds on,
Milivoj is the kids name.
Vikta breaks through to him in some smooooth talking, with gold, and promises.
Vikta works her intimidation on the coffin maker. Makes him go up the stairs first, and open the wardrobe for the party.
Lenoc paid for bone removal? Hrmmm.
Time to return the bones! XD
