(ooc: I am going to continue with Trisk... although I agree with you that it might be worth freeing him for roleplay purposes and have him be an npc, maybe he can hang out in one of the bastions and help?)
yes same thought. when we level up doea anyone get remove petrification?
(OOC- greater restoration removes petrification- Sam- i think uou have access to that. we could restore chadderly and send him back to monitor our city/ bastions)
<honestly if you want to go the flying city for your bastion homework, you csn do it, it's just going to chsng3 the starting conditions for the next 'mission'. Thst said, it sounds like consensus was to forego it. If we want Chadderaly back and want to NPC Trisk, I'm cool with that. Honestly, you csn just pay someone to cast greater restoration. If this is agreeable I csn get you a price. After that, I'd like to stsrt the next segment. You csn oost any badrion activity simultaneous to the action, just put it in a spoiler>
(ok- how much for a greater restore? I think we will send NPC chadderly back, seems like we want Trisk - and Sam’s one of our originals! While tetrevess wants to check on things he would not want to jeapordize rhe bigger mission by trying to do a round trip.)
<I'll let @brianavery figure that out, but for the price its 450gp (see above)>
Gafna summons you to her office, where the giant hyena escaped, "That was some fine work down in Deep Canal. The tunnels have been in use for the past few days, but the time we were without them has proven unfortunately problematic. It seems one of our associates, a young man named Jigor Raxia, was picked up by the Probity Corps yesterday. The order to resume regular use of the sewers had not her reached him. No one has seen or heard of him since. That is until this morning." She pauses, allowing her guard to step outside the room and ensure No one is approaching. "It seems Jigor is being held at a Probity Corps black site located in the north end of the city. You've proven yourselvelves competent. I need you to go there and find him."
She studies the groups' responses to the stagement before proceeding "Let me make clear: I need to have Jigor either rescued or 'neutralized' as he knows things that would jeopardize the entire operation."
If the party accepts, she relates the following, (but you can still question / object)
• Jigor Raxia is a trusted employee/associate of Gafna’s.
• He was recently tasked with keeping discreet tabs on the Tharchion, Aumaund Halarkoun.
• Word is that he was captured by Inquisitors of the Probity Corps early yesterday and that he is being held at one of their sites on the northside of the city.
• The Inquisitors at the Probity Corps are legendary for their ability to pry information and confessions from unwilling subjects.
• Jigor knows sensitive and compromising information regarding Gafna’s operation and her current plans.
• At all costs, the knowledge that Jigor has of Gafna’s operation and plans cannot pass to Probity Corps hands.
• The site is too well defended to be directly assaulted.
• In the event of an obvious attack, the Probity Corps inquisitors would secure their prisoners first and spirit them away to a different location. Besides, such an obvious attack would bring down too much heat.
• What Jigor knows must be kept from the authorities, by any means necessary.
• Gafna can provide the location of the site, and should the characters need them, some passable credentials that should at least help gain entrance to the building.
• She also has some information about a possible way to sneak into the building
• The Probity Corps building is a repurposed former inn that was called The Blushing Mage.
• The building has not been run as an inn for at least two years.
• Gafna believes that prisoners are held in the basementof the former inn, but is not certain about that.
(ok- how much for a greater restore? I think we will send NPC chadderly back, seems like we want Trisk - and Sam’s one of our originals! While tetrevess wants to check on things he would not want to jeapordize rhe bigger mission by trying to do a round trip.)
(Correction the original Sam’s one of the originals that started the quest to find kelewash lab)
(ooc: yeah I am going to stick with Trisk for now, if it's not a problem then Chadderlay can be an NPC that hangs out in the bastion, otherwise you can write him out of the story.)

<not a problem for me. This Jigor kid was actually tied to his aunt, who sort jf sent you this way. It's a whole thing, maybe you'll hear about it if you can rescue him.>
Any questions about the objective? Like the credentials she can provide, details on the possible sneaking route, what her business is, anything else you csn think of?
<if you have bastion points to spend, just post them in a spoiler.>
“We will take this task on- rescue him if we can. Do you know someone who might be able to restore our companion? he is petrified and we’ve er.. been carrying his statue around for a bit. I’m sure his aunt would want him restored. Could we sell this bow and some of these other items for some gold to pay for it, do you suppose? seems like a nice bow.”. Tetrevess says. He looks at Sam who has the portable hole Chadderly is in.
(probably because of my crazy real life last few months I don’t actually have records of much wealth on my sheet, aside from items- i don’t have 450 gold right now!)
"There's a back alley healer on the edge of the market. Serj can show you the way." Gafna replies, indicating one of her guards.
"You could probably sell a magic item at the market, but the traders are savvy and you'll likely get less than if you tried selling it outside of Thay. This really us a buyer's market."
<which does mean it's cheaper to buy things here than elsewhere for you, too.>
"Try to be quick about it, the situation with Jigor must be dealt with as quickly as possible."
(is this a “maintenance” bastion turn or were we able to issue orders?)
I don't have the rules for this memorized. If the order results in you obtaining something, then probably not, unless you can collect it at a later time. Like I think there's a brewery option and as written you don't need to consume the brew immediately, but I think that was the intent. Stuff like that. Short answer: I don't care. If it helps, it's been 7 days and you're not physically there.
Looking over the UA, it seems like it would be a 'maintain':
"The characters are on a long journey away from their Bastions. After the characters have been away for 7 days, you might say, “Time for a Bastion turn. Since you’re not there, resolve the Maintain order for your Bastions.”
yes- good point. I do have teleport as well, but it is a higher spell. i think getting there would be easy but getting back.. not so much.
maybe we can get chadderly cured and send him back to take care of things..
yes same thought. when we level up doea anyone get remove petrification?
(Don’t think so)
(OOC- greater restoration removes petrification- Sam- i think uou have access to that. we could restore chadderly and send him back to monitor our city/ bastions)
I don't have access to it
(I mean if you lot want me to I could leave Sam to monitor a the city and say bring a cleric in if you guys wanted)
