Session Summary
The party started off by heading back to Kotumi, then splitting up. Lu and Farideh headed up to the upper level, convincing the guard to let them into the university long enough to ask a few questions. Meanwhile, Taer and Veronica went to Trina’s house for some makeup and got the name of an armorer, Tsisia. On the way through the city, they spotted a very familiar face - Zoia’s. Veronica and Taer ran through the city as fast as possible to lose her. After a brief trip to the fighting pits, they made their way to Tsisia’s, scoping out some of the armor, before heading back over to Trina’s to meet up with the others. But before they reached Trina again, they spotted the Zoia lookalike for a second time. Taer confronted the lookalike, exclaiming that Zoia was dead. The lookalike turned out to be Masina, who did not take the news well. Masina threatened Taer for information on her sister, then was tackled by Veronica. They managed not to kill each other in the street before Lu and Farideh show up, and they all agreed to head over to an unnamed house-front tavern. There the party told Masina how Zoia died, and Masina joined the group to get revenge.

The party was wary about going back to the Merchant’s Cross for fear of the Path of Emanence, so they spent the night in Trina’s backyard (with some chickens). Farideh smoked it up. Everyone else got hotboxed.

The next morning, Taer and Veronica woke up early to go to the armorers, but found it closed, so they spent some time getting the last few items for a disguise kit. Veronica got a makeover. Lu, Farideh, and Masina went to the temple of Lugh, and found out that there is a shipbuilder’s guild house in Valkat, that the priest thought that someone might travel through Kotumi to get to Vlisi, and the ports might be closed due to plague. They also found out that there is a pilgrim’s passage up to the last known location of Melikov, around two days through the mountains to the northwest. Taer and Veronica went to the armorers and after some deliberation, bought Taer a shield. Taer and Veronica then went to the temple of Lugh and ask about extraplanar creatures going missing, but the priest thought that it’s more likely that Britni ran off on her own. With that finished, the group got ready to head up the mountains.
