There’s a badger painting on the wall. No one’s heard of Mochyn.
Gwen on the SK: Regardless of what happens, we’re up here. May the lord bless and keep.
We talk about the message from last week. We reread the dragon’s poem. “ A new dragon is born” “Beware The Boatman” Gorgomogg might be the eldest dragon. Sun King could be the rising Sun, but could also be the “new dragon”. Hopps posits that dragons and horns and bones are all related imagery.
Satyr closer to a horned animal. Mogg closer to the horned human.
Reactions of the girls to the sleep song: glasses yawns, red head shakes off sleep (annoyed), blonde (we’ve noticed she’s more stoic than the others, the oldest, most mature) more in control, black hair wouldn’t see it coming, direct the sleep in a different course.
The birds are probably also important.
This is a good discussion, and should continue, but what are we doing here?
- Council
-
Objective**: To request an extended stay
-
Spokesperson**: Branwen
Serathor and Gwen come to breakfast. Seriously nice looking yolks in the eggs. FREE RANGE shit, for sure. We head up to the penultimate floor of the tower. It’s a laboratory - there is definitely a murder board, yarn and everything. Beautiful desk, dark walnut wood, not a rich mahogany.
Serethor says, “What can I help you with?”
B: Listen. My fellows and i, we’ve been journeying for a long time to come to this tower on this quest sent form an oracle and now that we’re here we find a mystery with the children to investigate, and also two people with kind spirits and we get along and have a lot to offer each other, we have many skills, can help with the hunting, gathering., cooking, upkeep. We’d like to stay for a while and won’t loaf about. (B rolls a 25, can reroll up to two failed ability checks)
S looks at B having said this, says “Anyone’s welcome, but I suppose this does require quite a bit of work to keep the place going.” Chats with Gwen. “The things we need: we don’t hunt, there’s a farm in the valley to the northwest, they may need some help with the extra food and provisioning. Gwen is … I couldn’t do anything without her, if someone is willing to help her, also if someone can help me in my research. Are any of you interested in any of these?”
Balz will help with the research. Storr can help farming. Silas can help outdoors too. Br also does stuff
Balz rolls (24) S is very impressed with his reply. He looks to Gwen for approval. She says, Of course, that’s fine.
S: If you want to spend some time here, as long as you’re willing to do the work, that’s totally cool.
Br: Excellent. I think we’ll learn from each other and enjoy running this place together.
- COUNCIL SUCCESS**
So what are we actually doing while we’re here?
What if Storr were to do some repairs and creating around the tower?
G: There’s nothing to build here, we’re on a mountain. You’d have to go to the farm.
Storr’s inclination is to go be on the farm. She’ll heal her scars with the earth.
Balz will shadow S and help with his murder board, with the goal of creating a telescope for them. Would gladly work with the Glasses Girl.
Br will help out in the house, with the kids, cleaning up. Gather rumors, snoop. Trying to find out more about the girls, who the missing child might be.
Silas will take inspiration from his last dream of his sister where she hummed Branwen’s tune to me and said she’d “Set me on a path”. Silas will write a song with the intention of the girls becoming more comfortable with him and the party as a whole.
The rest of the day is spent working out the details of their tasks.
Balz goes up to observe the stars. We talk about what the next month or so looks like.
- The battle of the bureaucrats Loud banging on the door the next morning. Gwen sends red head down to see what’s going on. She disappears and comes back up and she’s like, “There are 3 people down there they seem really annoying. They’re looking for you assholes, but I dind’t tell them anything cause I’m a fucking gangster.
Storr gives her Cricket’s longbow. She looks to Storr and says, “Cool.”
Balz: What did they look like.
RedHG: Two guys in armor. An old woman in robes.
Br: Any sun emblems?
RedHG: Yeah two guys had suns on them, but they seemed like assholes.
Br: goes to distract the folks at the door.
RHG takes Storr, Silas, Balz and Arthen out the back way.
Idiots: Open the door in the name of the sun king?
Br: Sun king? We’re all filled up on that here!
I: Open the door or we’ll break it down.
Br: No need for that, I’m just a guest. Hold on, just trying to figure out how this opens. Okay, I open the door. Door opens inward. Br has her foot behind the door.
Old idiot: You were on a ship that came through that was meant to come to the city and avoided it. And we have been sent as an embassy for you to come to the city by right of the rules of trade in this land so that you can answer for your travel.
Br: So you[‘re here on bureaucracy? You’re the red tape?
Woman: Bring it bitch.
Br: What do you want to know about my itinerary?
Woman: I don’t care about your itinerary. You need to come with us.
Br: So you want me to go to the city with you?
W: Yes, but where are your companions? You’re under arrest MF?
Br: I’ll just go get my companions. She closes the door and locks it, giggling. Oh wait, they’re right here, I’m opening the door, don’t panic.
WE FIGHT!!
