Session 004 Nurisel

April 29, 2025
  • In the morning, Rook works out in the woods. Hjalgrimm casts Detect Magic and learns that the new dagger is magic. Thalgar goes into the woods, starts a fire, cuts his collarbone, rubs ash into the wound to scar it, and returns.
  • Askelon sees Faelon's chest scar.
  • They eat breakfast. Hjalgrimm buys a 5sp bottle of Khuzan ale and chugs it. Thalgar shows off his spices. Faelon moves away from him. 
  • Seeing that Faelon looks green in the gills, the barmaid brings him some brie cheese and sourdough and tells him this will help his upset stomach. Hjalgrimm comments she would be beautiful if she had a beard. She is mortified and heads for the kitchen.
  • The party leaves for Nurisel.
  • When the party arrives at the Trellid Abbey intersection Hjalgrimm looks around to ensure no one is watching, and then spits in the direction of the sign to the Abbey. The sign clearly shows this to be a Laranian abbey.
  • A couple of minutes later they hear the hoofbeats of the Laranian squad approaching from the east at a good clip. When the Laranians turn north onto the road to Nurisel, the party moves off of the road. Most of them head to a campsite 20 yards off the road, but Rook does not, preferring to hide in nearby bushes. The Laranians only glance at the party as they ride by. Thalgar tells them that the leader is a Laranian leader, and all of them appear to be paladin of the Spear of Shattered Sorrow.
  • After the Laranians ride past them the party continues on to Nurisel.
  • Arriving in Nurisel, the party members begin asking for directions to the Golden Feather. They get information from a couple of teenage human boys about the location of the Golden Feather, and that the Laranian squad rode in a couple of hours ago, straight to the temple.
  • They see the sign for a Mercantyler, so they visit him. Jaanin Haberd has a lot of nice stuff. They try to sell him the leather armor, but he steers them toward Murbel the Armorsmith. They head there next. Murbel Nuthel appraises the armor and seems to recognize it. He smiles. The party sees that there are armor pieces that look a lot like it - he probably made this armor. He purchases it for 50%. They ask about other wares, and he points to a lot of mundane pieces. They ask if he has anything special, and he pulls out a +2 Dagger, and tells them it goes for 5000gp. They blanch. Hjalgrimm tries to talk him into "lending" him a breastplate, and he'll advertise for him. Flat no.
  • In the meantime, Faelon has asked about others that look like him, and is steered toward the Physician Su Dse Tan, a Diramoan. She recognizes that he is a Monk from Shoju and bows. He asks about the travelers, providing the names he knew them by. She tells him that they came through here not long ago, but used different names. They were looking for a place they called Daquinasel. One of them seemed troubled, and carried a daisho.
  • The party noticed that there is a lexigrapher nearby as they headed for the Golden Feather.
