===== Session 6: On Cidmuir's Trail ===== === Evening, 18th Summer Prime, 498 CE === * The party followed some guards to a bar popular with guards from Ambermoor keep; [[wiki:places:ambermoor#Sticky_Goose|The Sticky Goose]]. * Upon arrival, they found a table near the guards they were following. * After listening to their conversation for a bit, Revana went to their table to talk. * She asked them about their arresting of Laef. * They told her that they did find Laef by herself. * They also said that Laef, more or less, turned herself in. * Revana felt as though the guards were telling the truth, and that they were rather intimidated by her. * The party then decided to return to the Windscene Tavern to regroup. * As they entered, a cat (which Ekhart later identified as Agabane’s cat, [[wiki:npcs:aloysius|Aloysius]]) was leaving the Tavern. * [[wiki:npcs:ian_aether|Ian]], the barkeep, told the party that a package had arrived for them. * Inside, there was a note from Agabane explaining she had created [[items:agabanes_never_ending_potion|a new type of potion]]. * Revana then meditated and spoke to Terra. * She saw a vision of her in greyscale, and Laef in focus on in colour. * Then, it flipped, and she was in colour and Laef was in grayscale. * Revana reasoned that Laef had fallen out of favour from Terra for some reason. * Ekhart looked through Cidmuir’s notes. * They were very practical notes for creating a portal to the Faerealm. * It required a large space, and also a large deposit of [[items:polished_quartz|amethyst]]. === Morning, 19th Summer Prime, 498 CE === * The party woke, exhausted from any other leads, decided to head into the [[wiki:places:shadowfen_thicket|Shadowfen Thicket]] to find the Silent camp and Cidmuir themselves. * As they were traveling toward the edge of town, they came upon a large, barrel chested man. * The man was [[wiki:npcs:bravick_eene|Bravick Eene]], the Guildmaster and Founder of the Foresters Guild. * He offered to take the party into the Shadowfen Thicket, where some of his guild members had spotted the Silent before. * Sanglant began to crush heavy on Bravick. === Afternoon, 19th Summer Prime, 498 CE === * The party and Bravick arrived at a clearing in the Shadowfen Thicket. * He told the party he would wait for 6 hours for them to return. * Bravick offered his protective services for an additional fee, which apparently broke Sanglant’s heart who realized that Bravick was only interested in being paid, and not getting laid. * Ekhart, Sanglant, and Revana traveled an hour or so into the forest, and eventually found the Silent Camp. * It was a depressed clearing, with fortifications around it and a guard tower looking out for intruders. * Revana turned into a ferret and scurried into the camp to see if she could find Cidmuir. * In one of the tents, she found Cid talking with the Silent leader. * [[wiki:npcs:aegis_thar|The Silent leader]] appeared visibly annoyed with Cid, saying that they were putting themselves in great danger for him. * Cid appeared flippant about the man’s concerns, assuring him that whatever Cid was doing would help out the Silent’s cause more than he could imagine. * When Rev returned, she offered Ekhart to send Cid a message with the Animal Message spell. * Ekhart sent a message explaining that he was here, and was offering Cid help. * Cid replied with a note around a squirrel’s neck that told Ekhart to create a distraction so that he could “see some really cool.” ---- [[:recap| Back]]
