Dungeons and Dragons Campaign 2: Session 4 (Day to Day)

- Tomes: log book of the Mary Celeste (in Common but in code)
               Cooking for Sailors & Scurvy (in Common)
               ?????  (cannot understand)
               Separation of Planes: Why We Are Functionally Sundered from Home (half in elven and half in ????)  - on world structures, diff. planes, can’t get to Feywild, written by and Eladrin
- in the morning: Sharah hears buzzing in her head (only she can hear it)
- is URIEL!     - tell him what happened
                        - ships still disappearing N. of Nayla (our previous end destination)
                        - weather unseasonably colder (this may or may not be related?)
                        - NOT PLANET  —> FLAT PLANE  (the world Uriel, Sharah, and Yue used to live in was a round planet.  it has been proven that this world is a flat plane)
- Yue asks the others to take a look at the Tomes: Gnasc can understand the other half of Separation of Planes - it is in Abyssal —> is the technical side of the discussion (about runes and portals) Gnasc can read it but does not understand much of it.
- town instantly on other side of bridge (which we DID NOT cross the night before (apparently…))
- Streetwise check! (Yue has awesome streetwise… also weirdly intimidation…):
            - Khortorum not capital (of Umm Bel)
            - magical ferry to island (where the Deva were going)
            - no shipwrights
            - institution of higher learning (School for the Advanced)
            - gov’t offices
            - mostly Dragonborn and Teifling
- group splits up.  Yue and Fitz going to find someone to translate the books and maybe someone to fix their ship.  Sharah and Gnasc setting up shop in the market (we still have the cart and the goods from the battle and we decided to sell the goods so as to finance our adventures (also: getting/fixing a ship)



- Yue & Fitz:   - School for the Advanced (Faculties: Shipbuilding, Literature, Pyrotechnics, Playwriting, and Mining)
                        - Literature: - female receptionist, got info about books: is illegal to decode a log book of a ship registered in another country (for example to Mary Celeste *sigh*), Cooking is a common book for sailors to have, and that the other book was written in dwarven - and that the playwright faculty could help more for that one.
                        - Playwright: entering, Yue and Fitz see 2 Teiflings arguing very theatrically when Yue shows them the book they start laughing and explain that it is a play called A Comedy of our Incestuous Emperor Justine.  The book is out of fashion now (b/c the son of said Emperor is on the throne - of Janina) but not banned or considered an insult.  After thanking them the adventurers move on to:
                        - Shipbuilding: and see a bored Dragonborn secretary who tells them that all the shipbuilding classes here are academic, if they want how-to lessons to go to Tonj - also that all the shipwrights and things are there.
- Sharah & Gnasc set up shop (Yue, before the split, suggested we ask about permits and such but was shot down b/c then we wouldn’t look like we knew what we were doing…)
            - set out wares: Cannon (Gnasc took from the ship), Glass Dagger + 1 (Yue picked up in Pythion’s castle), Cannon ball (5) (also Gnasc’s), Ugly Green Cloak (Sharah had from ALL THE WAY BACK when she and Yue came upon our original characters! - a bunch of dead people at the beginning of their adventure), 5 bolts of silk, 5 bolts of linen, Ship Equipment, and Small Weapons (from the ship and the slavers).
            - the watch (battery powered) that Gnasc filched from Clarice.  Sharah sees this and asks to have it.  Gnasc says he will sell it to her but she does not have the money.  Then he proposes to trade it to her for his contract [AHAHAHAHAHAHA].  Sharah tries to take it from him and he hits her and she hits back and they fight [this is hilarious because they do this in real life too!].
            - fighting attracts a city guard (also other people) —> guard says they have no permit.  There is some waffling about before Sharah leaves to buy one (it is good for one day).  While the guard is talking to Sharah, Gnasc sells the Glass Dagger +1.  Sharah eventually leaves to buy the permit with some of the money that the Glass Dagger had raked in.
            - The city guard is a Lieutenant and wants to buy the cannon (Janina make is apparently good) - says will come back with the money (the money of items that belong to one person belongs to that person which means that Gnasc is now rich)
            - Cannon sold —> Gnasc dances —> earns a little money
            - shifters interested in cloak  —> Fitz attempts to sell (Fitz and Yue have returned)
            - giggly female elf makes googly eyes at Gnasc —> he finds out name of a hotel (cheap but good) Super 8993
            - She is interested in Gnasc and Gnasc asks whether she has any quests and she implies romantic things.  Gnasc goes with her and takes her into an alley and MUGS HER (rolls subdual damage).  He then puts her in a garbage can  and dumps her in the river [our campaign got a whole lot more interesting with Gnasc around] after stripping her.
            - Gnasc gives the watch to Sharah (b/c he has enough money that he does not need to sell it anymore), Gives the clothes to Yue (the only one who will fit them), and the jewellery to Fitz (b/c “he seems like the type to like it”)
- go to Super 8993 and rent 2 rooms for 3 bolts of linen + 30g
- Fitz keeps failing perception checks???
- Yue reads Separation of Planes —>author came from Feywild —> couldn’t return (portals failed) met 1 other Eladrin (also couldn’t return) never met Eladrin that came after certain time.
- Sharah sifts through past lives and memories —> no people from the NEW timeline, no hurting mind
- Yue and Sharah in one room
- Gnasc and Fitz in another (sexy lingerie party <— or so they say)
- Gnasc eats the ENTIRE continental breakfast (we are kicked out of the inn and told never to come back)
- offers to buy us breakfast (didn’t know that would happen - Gnoll from wilderness)
- we go to market, Gnasc looks for cloth robes (that’s what he wears)
- Sharah and Gnasc go and find pirates —> to steal a boat & translate log
- SEEDY BAR:
            - Eladrin: Ol’ NoEyes - no eyes, crazy, up for anything (including stealing a ship) —> Gnasc likes and invites along
            - Dragonborn (2) —> only want coastal (Sharah does not invite along)
            - Crom: Dwarf female, strangely attractive, good at steering (not so much at navigating), NOT help steal ships (but will sail on a stolen ship), wants GLORY —> Sharah invites along
