Other Party Intentions for Training Week, Session 121
Ronan has been training with Thorfus while Chuq and Canis will begin their leveling process the day after your arrival in Midmark. That means the party has (at least) seven days of downtime — until the 9th of Tanrilden — to occupy themselves. Feel free to list any activities either below or in separate posts and I will resolve them prior to our next game.
Chuq’s Training Week, Session 121
Rahm Benisaeko, my understanding is that Chuq will be making his way to the Ark Cathedral in the morning to consult with Adhemar, the Master of the Spring, about training and some other things. Let me know what else you want to discuss with him and any other activities during your training week in the comments here.
Book-keeping Notes, Session 121 (9/7/16):
– We left off with the party enjoying some well-earned refreshment at the Cock & Bull Tavern in Midmark on the evening of the first of Tanrilden. Next session will start with a summary of the party’s actions during the training week (posts to follow) and Thornton’s banquet on the next evening.
– Popping Up Like a Bad Penny: Jardin the Inquisitor
– The Party’s Young Ward: Hugue the Fisherman
– Needs a New Hat (and a Drink): Captain Henri Evenwod
– Reminder of What having Secret Police Means: Alainon
– Hankering to Bust some Ghosts at Grell’s: Thorfus
– Readying a Critique of the Highest-Ranking Monks: Chuq
– Soaking up that Ironhand Wisdom: Ronan
– Spent the Entire Return Trip Quietly Studying: Edan
– Back in his Natural Habitat (a Pub): Canis

It is with great sadness that I announce that I’ve lost my battle against the Citadel Faucet of Leakiness. The kitchen is littered with the detritus of battle, metal shavings, tools, broken washers and cartridges litter the area. I may have lost the battle but the war is won… Moen has judged in may favour and a new Citadel will be constructed in place of the old one within 3 to 5 business days.
There was much rejoicing…
😉
Other things with next session:
Thorfus will make sure that his fancy clothes are clean and polish up his armor, etc. He will make sure none of the hirelings know where the hidey hole is.
He will retrieve the stuff he stored at Thornton’s while we were gone.
He will trade in his share of the imperial coins, and give 10 gp to each sailor on the fleet and 10 gp to each of his hirelings, and 100 gp to the one with the bum leg. He will inquire as to what he plans to do now, and if possible, work him into Thorfus’ and company’s long term plans. Perhaps a job as a gardener, lookout, etc. of whatever long term base we establish.
Thorfus is interested in what is going on at Grell’s place and will find out what anyone knows about Archer’s Irregulars.
Thorfus will want a supply of holy water and silver edged weapons for all his hirelings before going to deal with Grell’s place.
If Giacomo had any family, Thorfus will make sure to get a portion of treasure to them, as well as Giacomo’s belongings. Where was Giacomo from?
Resolution of the sword of dagon is also on his mind. We need to come to an agreement on how to proceed.
Thorfus wants Chuq to share the image of Jardin with all the party and the hirelings, so if anyone sees him, they can alert the rest of us. Also we have the image of “old” Jardin, and Thorfus want’s that shared, so if we see anyone like that, to alert the group. I also want to relay the information to Perette, and have Chuq impart those images to Perrette.

Choosing the Party’s Next Moves, 9/7/16
With the imminent conclusion of the adventure at Agmar’s Folly and subsequent return to Midmark for training, the party will soon need to choose its next goal. In terms of specifics, there are too many options to list; however, speaking more generally, the main possibilities seem to be the following:
– Do something about the Dark King (the island interior)
– Do something about Marchmain Sivis (Xen’Khel and/or Lonely Island)
– Do something about the Merman Wars and Devil Fish (Midland Bay)
– Do something about Alaine Grell (unknown but related to imperials)
– Do something about Jaegger the Gnome (north of Xen’Khel)
– Do something about the Giant Mines (north of Xen’Khel)
– Do something about Vargen and the Bargemen/Triad Feud (Vargen)
– Follow-up on old rumors
– Follow-up on information from Devil Fish Ancestors/Kalgunn/etc.
– Poke around for rumors and clues and head in a different direction entirely
I’m probably missing some things, but that should be enough to get everyone thinking. There’s no wrong choice here – or perhaps no right choice? – it’s your sandbox to mess with however you want. Feel free to discuss your plans in the comments below.

If Ronan allows Chuq a moment with the skull cap, he will ask the Night Court some confidential questions via Brice about Thorfus:
1. Like Brice Hissell & Marchmain Sithis, the Xen Tel machine has captured Thorfus Ironhand’s and his uncle Dolman’s souls. Does Brice know if either souls are reincarnations from the time of the Dwarven empire or contemporaries of her own lifetime as we know them?
2. If they are her contemporaries, Chuq can deduce how Xen Tel acquired Thorfus’ soul, does Brice know how Xen Tel captured Dolman’s soul?
3. How does she feel about Xen Tel capturing her soul?
4. How does she feel about Xen Tel torturing and tormenting Thorfus’ soul?
5. Did Xen Tel capture Chuq’s soul?
6. If yes, how does she feel about that?
7. Has Xen Tel ever threaten her or her afterlife?
8. Is she concerned that Xen Tel might torture her soul as he does Thorfus and Dolman?
9. Has Xen Tel made any promises to or about Throfus Ironhand?
10. What was her opinion of Throfus Ironhand before her death?
11. What was her opinion of Axel Rhumkul before her death?
12. Did Xen Tel capture Axel’s soul?
13. What is the Dark King’s actual identity? Which Lord Marshal was/is he/her?
14. Does she know which/who is the current vessel of the Dark King? (ie, and Islander, Colonial, or Undying?)
15. Does she know the identity(ies) of the Dark King’s lieutenants?
17. What is the Dark King’s mission/agenda and how does it help or rival Marchmain Sithis’?
18. Has she ever considered the fate of the Brother’s of the World Forge if her Xen Tel Crusade succeeds? What did she think/feel about their fate?
19. Does she know of any other reincarnations from the Ancient Dwarven empire? If yes, who and where are they?
20. Chuq will solicit any comments/opinions/theories from the Night Court about any of these questions.
