Session #59: Home?

[a session run by Jacob, hence also written-up by him; also being the first session of the game in which the usual referee had no part, not even as a player--and seemingly quite a success!]


 Collecting at Cothon Under Star to begin planning their next foray into adventure, a group coalesces with the plan to visit the Facility. Ultimately sending a runner to the Bani Dawr, the Gadeed Great House who has an open contract to ‘clear’ the strange place that they might move in and begin researches. The members that initially left for the gates of Gadeed, uncertain of what might lay ahead:


  • Avin (Magic User 6)

    • Vlana (Magic User 4)

  • Lars (Magic User 4)

    • Kogus (Bulrathi)

  • Bart (Magic User 6)

    • Gan (Fighter 5)

  • Heijo (Magic User 5)

  • Mara (Magic User 3)


A short while later Arngeir went seeking around the taverns for adventuring companions, and ultimately connected with the Bani Dawr to join the others.

  • Arngeir (fighting-man)


The group returns late into the afternoon. And while they don’t seem nearly so encumbered with treasure, they are seen to head straight for the Survivors of the Tel, and Raoden in particular, and overheard having excited whispers, obviously having learned much about the Facility. Given the lack of actual coinage there was no carousing to speak of.


The Lucre

  • A set of bedding, including pillows of remarkable quality. The pillow even seems to have something of a memory of its own, temporarily retaining the imprint of anything set upon it for a short time. (~765 gp)

  • A single set of simple clothing (including boots) that at first glance seem unremarkable, being of plain greys and whites, with few frills. Until touched when it is immediately obvious these, like the sheets, are made using techniques unavailable to modern clothiers. Additionally it is made quickly evident (as during the drinking some beer was spilled on the cloths) that they somehow repel liquid. Though not magical, simply remarkable. (~1000gp)

  • Additionally found is a strange metal symbol with a needle stick out the center of the back, with accompanying plug for the needle. The symbol as seen below (~600gp)

  • As well as a palm-sized gem. Initially assumed to be a glass bead, being nearly transparent, when the party goes to speak with Raoden the gem begins to glow lightly.

The Learning

  • 2365 xp from treasure

  • 380 xp from “Renyu” Warriors x 4 (75 + hp ea.)

  • 200 xp for exploring several new floors of the Facility

The Cut

  • No coins, though each of the first three items could be ‘sold to the right buyer’

  • 458 xp to each player character

  • 229 xp to each Gan, Vlana, and Kogus

  • The palm-sized gem


Per usual, any player reports are worth 100 xp per level, and the three items may increase treasure received based on being sold to the right buyer, or bought out from the treasure for their listed ‘base’ price.
