Fixing a Hole
As the dawn rose Braz rolled over into the warm comfort of his bedding. A full stomach, warm bed and a lay-in had been a rare treat on the adventure so far. As he opened his eye the bars came in to focus. Wait a second…
Everyone seemed very tense and spoke about “not feeling themselves” as the party were summoned like school kids to the keep. Surely it can have been all that bad.
There was talk of penance, reparations and broken pottery. Braz did not feel that things could possibly be as bad as everyone was making out however he agreed to do his bit and with Alke he strode out of the south gate to do his duty.
The merchants were jumpy and nervous but some of them recognised the names of the oracles chosen and soon felt that if Crimson Cristopherios could be convinced that Estoria was safe they would surely return.
On entering the red tent Braz was struck by the scale of the damage that had been caused and suddenly it struck him how dangerous this moment had been. He solemnly spoke to the merchant about reparations and agreed to buy the broken pottery. The merchant spoke of Mytros and his location within it as well as a mention of the lady of coins - a name Braz had heard in relation to Alke on the road well before he had met her.
After stringing 6 pieces of broken red glazed pottery onto a necklace which he placed around his thick neck, Braz and Alke started to return to the country. Braz asked Alke about the Lady of coins. She has indeed crossed paths with the leader of the thieves guild but did not wish to speak further on this rumour.
Returning to the town Braz and Alke haphazardly helped the party in repairing the north gate and bridge. Calliope had some strange idea that seemed to work well but Braz was always suspicious of these fringe and minority beliefs.
After a long afternoon of labour, the bridge appeared to be fixed. Anora spoke of her dream following her drink from the Horn of Balmitria but Braz was unable to make head nor tail of this cryptic message.
Calliope appeared to have appeased the dwarfs who were heading to the forge and Braz was sincerely hoping the party could get back onto the road and complete the impossible tasks that had been set for them.
