Session #77: Another Jaunt through the Stacks

[written by Max, who ran the session--thanks, Max!]

 

Curious patrons of Cothon Under-Star are once again shooed away from a strange door in its library by adventurers.

Durham, fighter 7

• Pako, renyu

Najm, magic-user 5

• Alianor Drake, fighter 1

Heijo, magic-user 6

Arngeir, fighter 5

The party exits some time later. Onlookers notice Durham’s renyu, Pako, clutching a small book. Rumors have begun to circulate about how every time the adventurers enter with a hmela, but don’t leave with one. Perhaps some dark magic is necessary to use the door.

*This “raw” dinar-value assumes selling the precious stones at “market” value and without trying to go through the Piedrejoya Guild—any characters with connections to that guild of Jewelers and Lapidaries could well net a higher value and win the company more “take-home” lucre
