Session 30 January 29, 2017

Andros Ashwind identifies several items from the Necropolis. Of note Otiben keeps a Vampire’s Tooth Dagger and Bryn is carrying a Flametongue Spear. Otiben argues for keeping Vorigan’s staff, it’s powers seducing him. Zho ni is vociferous in opposition with Urman and Batukahn supporting the position that being an instrument in service to He Who Devours, it must be destroyed for the protection of the Vale. Andros Ashwind also purchases Vorigan’s entire library, promising to destroy or bury the most evil tomes.

After the Thane dismisses the party, booty from the Necropolis is pawned off to jewelers and pelt dealers filling our purses with coin.

The party spends the next two weeks training to advance in their professions, administer their various business interests and prepares for their northern embassy/expedition. During this fortnight, Zho ni casts Remove Curse each day from all those pulled into the full moon nightmares. Each casting, the cleric can feel a curse lifted but brave Bryn continues to suffer night nightmares. Kymil the Druid and his retinue bid us farewell and return to Finneshiem to organize a return mission the the Necropolis.

Batukahn helps Bryn become a Swordsman (I think his HP must be rolled), Urman studies to become a Magician and Otiben drills Embrek into a Swordsman. During this week, Zho ni can not pay a discounted tuition to the Temple so he spends the time crafting scrolls. Otiben visits the boxing ring to collect our cut. He also takes a match, soundly knocking his opponent off his feet in the first round.

Zho ni’s ambition gets the best of him and he proposes pawning the Irohnhand shield to the Temple to offset his tuition. His and the shield’s notoriety convinces the Cannon to elevate Zho ni to the same office with a commision. As the Vale’s only other highest Eostaria clergy, Zho ni must spread her mysteries abroad. Specifically, he must also erect a place of worship in Djoside adjacent to the former Ironhand keep.

To pay for Embrek’s advancement, Zho ni had gifted Vorigan’s mace to Otiben, who later sells it to the Thane’s quartermaster then hands most of the proceeds back to Zho ni. Otiben and Batukahn also visit the mine, setting the miners to quarrying stone and digging deeper for more copper or other ore. They return to Mannheim with smelted copper and another partial bar of Mithril. This in turn allow Zho ni to not only pay the pawn of the Apolsede Shield (moniker must have changed the week it was on display with Ironhand a footnote reference on the placard) and make a significant payment to the Thane’s grant.

Otiben considers hiring a barge to open a regular trade route from the mine to Djoside. Urman advises leaving this in the planning stage since we won’t be in country to administer directly. Urman puts out word we are hiring security for the Keep and hopes some prospects will show before we go north.
