~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daisy isn't ready to discuss the dagger and what happened yet. She still feels Vorigan and Morkrog are strangers.
Morkrog gives Daisy a pep talk "have you ever thought about seeking out an otherworldly patron to ease your comfort?" "get right back up on the saddle". and offers cult literature.
The volcano is still continually erupting but no longer exploding. A steady stream of lava flows and does not seem to pose a danger to the city of Havengul currently. However the sky is smoky and ashy.
The party chats over breakfast with the Tavern Owner of The Old Sail, Eckard Niehaus. He mentions about the three churches in Havengul, The Church of Avacyn, Cult of Griselbrand and Cult of Great Old One.
He mentions how the city is running low on fish with all the ships and sailors either disappearing or too scared to go out onto the ocean. Captain Levi from the Church of Avacyn is currently leading the docks after the old dockmaster Leanne never came home from sea.
Harrick and Morkrog mention their excitement to go to sea. Morkrog's patron however does not like the sea. Harrick and Morkrog bond over their patron/deities lack of sea interest.
In the Inn, there is a patron drowning his sorrows at 9 in the morning and yelling about the end of the world. The party meets Aki, an older man who used to build boats and fish here.
He doesn't seem to really like any of the churches. "To hell with them all!"
The Cults here in Havengul don't tend to go around sacrificing people in town. It's kind of a neutral zone. and all three churches get a say in the city.
"You should do whatever you wanna do! including murder." -Morkrog
Morkrog asks Aki to be the party's guide.
The group books their inn rooms for more time.
The party meets Muller the blacksmith at the The Crooked Hammer.
Harrick wants to upgrade his gear.
800g for new armor or an upgrade for 150g.
The party realizes they don't exactly have any money.
Harrick leaves the suit and leave deposit of 100 and will get the rest when he picks it up after selling gear at The Talisman.
Aki continues to bring the party around town to the different areas they need however tends to bring them the long way along the coast/docks.
Fancy Lennart Noffke at the The Talisman
Morkrog tries to get an item that will give him "complete control over familiars". Daisy is uncomfortable.
Lennart Noffke offers some special snacks for the friendship route but should have something for control in the next day or so.
The party learns that Morkrog has the imps Zeeg and Prac with his familiar pocket plane.
The party suddenly remembers the person they left behind in the cave system and hope that they made it out before the volcano exploded.
Morkrog makes Aki give him the gold for the treats. "one day my patron will manifest and you will be saved." Aki really likes Morkrog.
Morkrog gets three days worth of snacks for each of the 3 imps.
Harrick sells his gems that he found in the cave system. 450gold.
Harrick drops off the rest of the money to Muller will remember that.
Aki worked 40 years on the boats here in Havengul. His father used to make sails for living.
Captain Levi came here 8 years ago. no boat experience. Aki should have been the harbormaster. Big armor.
Daisy meets a sailor, Ceric who tells the party that Captain Levi is at the Havengul Abbey.
Aki is starting to sober up but the moment Morkrog tells him he can drink on the job, he walks up to a barrel on the docks, smacks it a few times and pulls out a bottle of ale.
Aki does not enter the Havengul Abbey. Wait outside drinking.
Daisy stealths in and scopes out the place. Seems like a legit boring Abbey.
The party meets Priestess Flora who introduces them to Captain Levi.
Captain Levi has several questions for the party. Trying to understand who they are and who they worship.
Harrick and Daisy show their signed papers and badges from Thalia.
The party offers to help deal with "the sea monster issue".
Captain Levi offers the party a boat and two members of the Church of Avacyn if they really want to go out to sea. 1 inquisitor and 1 priestess.
The Church of Avacyn in Havengul have been a bit short staffed lately with cult activity picking up in Nephalia.
Every since the demons of the Helvault have been released, things have been crazy. One of their inquisitors, Vania Hellsy is late to report. Most likely in Drunau.
The party will probably need 1-2 more people to man the boat, especially if the party has no boating experience.
The party mentions the cultist cave they cleared out. With Thalia letter of rec, Captain Levi offers a bounty of 300g each to Daisy and Harrick. He does not give anything to Vorigan or Morkrog for this time as they did not have a letter of rec like the other two but promises that if they help, he will reward them upon return.
Daisy grabs the letter for the boat while Harrick and Morkrog kindly argue over it.
"if you were to hire, go to the docks. There may still be brave souls left there. May Avacyn guide you" -Captain Levi
There is a whole lot of winking this session
Aki is outside drinking. When Morkrog tells him that he is out of retirement, he tosses the empty bottle into the Abbey fields.
Aki is asked for a captain of the ship rec.
As the party reaches the docks, Thalia messages Harrick through Inquisitor Dee's Sending Stone. " The ground shaking? Flooding in gavony? Tell me you have news? Dee is hurt but will be okay. Lady Si and children have arrived safely."
Harrick: "We suffered significant losses in Kessig. Now in Havengul. Working with two new people. Highly competent. Found obelisk under volcano. Big explosion. Might be pirates."
The party hopes Lady Dee will be able to provide the context.
Harrick shares what is happening with the rest of the party and gives Daisy an update on the kids.
The session ends on the docks about to look for a captain and crewmate for the seas.
It is afternoon time now, still time to go back to the magic shop and do a bit more shopping and prepping. Could stop by the churches.
In the morning, the party will meet up on the docks with their team (including Priestess Flora and an unknown inquisitor) and leave on their Pirate Sea Adventure.
