We had a triage, freed the horses. Delivered the criminal woman to the guards for jail. Lestran wanted to speak to us in the morning. Went to Lady Trudgeon for a debrief, told her what happened. Oris sulked home when we got there, though. A woman came in - Naomi Cooper - who seemed to know of me. She looked like the woman from the vision. She offered a potential job, later. I don’t see a need, but Christopher seemed receptive. If I were to continue with them, that is.

Went to the guards, Lestran said he would be rewarded 100gp for capturing the criminals. However the death of 4 of them meant a 30gp fine per. So we ended up owing 20gp. I put the my badge down “accidentally”. He counted the gold and handed the sack back full, getting the message. I acted a little rashly, but I was angry.
We got food together and Christopher broached the subject of things he did not like that members of the group did. Starting with Sett’s unnecessary kill. Oris jumped in and they both made a point that killing should be only a last resort. I don’t entirely disagree, but they strike me as naïve.
Next Oris talked about how little he likes money. Got into a strange debate on fiat currency that was basically fruitless. Finally I asked if we were going to help that Naomi woman. They said they would entertain seeing her what she wants, and decide from there. I reamed into them.
One by one I told Oris he couldn’t be panicky if we got into a scuffle, Sett that he can’t just kill a man if he’s down when there are more pertinent targets, that Christopher can’t bicker at every step. Overall that we had to work as a team, we had to cooperate and have each other’s backs. Disagreements to be left at the door when things got rough. Begrudgingly they agreed.
On my way out I asked Christopher about someone who could do tattoos, as he’s local, he pointed me in the direction of Brandon Onyxknives. I’ll head there to get my markings updated. He said he didn’t know how to fix the magic but would look into it.
8-11th? Muvay
Over the course of the weeks I trained the guards on how to do archery. They reacted as if a bow would bite them. Only if they’re idiots. I think they must have had a poor trainer. I decided to run a tournament the first day. Competition. Fun. Remind them that shooting a bow can be not just a job but also a source of fun. Satisfaction to hit a target.
By the end of the week they seemed much better. Lestran was so elated by it he knocked 50gp off the debt we owe. I was also sent my wages from Lord Rumbutis.
When meeting up on one of our required daily meals, I looked up and noticed a cantsign. Apparently Christopher recognizes these, too, as he mentioned it. I remained quiet. I don’t know what I gain from keeping it close to my chest. I’m more curious where he learned this - or she did. I learned this in the Black years. In some unsavory situations by unsavory people.
We went to a crappy tavern - Angry Fist - and in there was a note to ask for her. Some ostentatious man sent us her way. We go into a small lounge room. She seemed to know too much about us. She offered us jobs in finding special items for high pay, but I can’t say I immediately trust her.
She’s an intermediary. We work for someone else through her. She wants us to find some sort of Chalice.
