Session 85 - Terms and conditions apply - 27/03/2025

TL;DR

The party celebrate after defeating Velko. But the celebrations don't last long as the party prepare for their day in court. April meets Hermes, she strikes a deal with him for some cash, but doesn't listen carefully enough...

Full notes

April awakes, she’s in a circular stone room, many feet high
She looks around. There’s no exit
A giant gold coin falls from the ceiling, April narrowly dodges it
When she looks at the coin, it has her face embossed on it
She shouts into the void, asking who’s there
She hears a chuckle, and the sounds of a purse jingling
She wakes up in Lumpy Jack’s Inn along with everyone else
Everyone goes down to breakfast
Coby catches Ana up on everything that’s happened
Coby introduces Ana to April
We head to the library, Coby asks where the law books are
Burzum also seeks out information on law
April tries to get more information on Nasharr and the gods, but she gets overwhelmed and doesn’t learn much
Something appears in the corner of Ana’s eye, she doesn’t notice, she’s too engrossed in the book
Burzum studies the ring he got

Promise Ring

This ring is forged from black iron with spikes pointing inwards, gouging the finger.

When you first attune to this ring, you can touch one willing creature and form a magical bond between the two of you. While this bond lasts, whenever you are subjected to a spell or magical effect that restores hit points, the bonded creature also receives the benefits of the spell or effect.

You cannot bond with another creature so long as you both live.

A creature can benefit from only one ring of amity's bond at a time.

Invoking the Rune. When the bonded creature hits a target with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to invoke the ring's rune if you are within 60 feet of the bonded creature. The bonded creature's attack is then turned into a critical hit.

Once the rune has been invoked, it can't be invoked again until the next dawn.

Burzum attempts to cast bless on the ring
Burzum seeks out a jeweller, he finds one, an elven man
Burzum makes a deal with the jeweller to make him a holy symbol for 80GP, he hands over 40GP to begin the work
Coby sees a bunch of people on Verisil with torches, their heads are bowed, they walk slowly. Two people lead the procession, they wear grey robes
Everyone returns to Lumpy Jack’s, we debrief and go to sleep
April wakes up in the same chamber, the coin is still on the floor
Another coin falls, April doesn’t dodge it, it crushes her foot, she cries out
Another one falls, crushing her leg
More continue to fall, the chamber fills up with coins, burying her
Everyone wakes up in Lumpy Jack’s
The same day plays out, Coby studies law, April goes to study religion in the temples
Burzum checks in on Lumpy Jack, asking if he can be of any use
Burzum gets hired, he has to clean the same glass for eight hours straight
April enters the trinit temple, sanit hall, a modern trinit temple, two towers stretch into the sky
April looks around, finding a small Sunday school
She finds a few books on the trinit, she reads a general one

Trinit:

The Scribe

The Ancient Deity

The Mad God, Aesys

The Scribe brings creation and light - good - to the world.
The Mad God brings destruction and dark - bad - to the world.
The Ancient Deity acts as a scale, ensuring that the two forces remain in balance.

The Scribe and The Mad God sometimes look like you or I: it can be very important, therefore, to treat everyone with respect, lest they turn out to be a God.

When Coby is studying, a magpie studies him, before shortly flying off
Days pass, they become repetitive
One day we awake, seeing a parade passing by, singing a song about year’s turning, in the direction of the temple. Some are in robes, some aren’t. An old man is apologising to children for his old ways
Coby starts asking April about Year’s turning. They get into a conversation about what April did last year, she talks about seeing her family, saying that she doesn’t get to see them often. Coby tells her she should see them, she considers this
As they go for breakfast, they trip over a gift left on the floor, it’s a scone like cake, Coby eats it anyway
As we go downstairs, everyone is fucking pissed out of their minds, including Lumpy Jack
The party plan to get drunk
Burzum enables the party, buying shots for April and Coby
Coby gets addicted to grog
April’s hair turns into porcupine quills
Coby can now touch fruit and instantly preserve it
April now knows how to make a potion with her finger which can cure all conditions
April can now [REDACTED], fuck me
Coby now deals 16x fucking damage on a critical hit or fail
Burzum now knows primordial
Everyone goes to bed
April wakes up in the chamber
April can tell something is different, that a section of the floor is raised
April pushes down the stone, it resists, like there’s something mechanical
After this, there’s some mechanical clicking
Another room reveals itself
April meets Hermes, a god of trade and commerce who offers her money to start her brother’s business up
She’s reluctant, but eventually takes the money
She finds out last minute there’s massive interest charged on it, but she can’t back out
She wakes up, looking remorsefully at the bag of money next to her bed
