Curascious starts talking rapidly about teleportation circle theory, and asking if he may please attempt to cast the spell, if only to see what happens.
She nods solemnly to Mozu, "More than good faith, you are heroes of Stormpoint and will always be welcome here. Be careful when you go to Emon, you don't... ahem... look like most heroes." She smiles wrly, "They will learn though won't they?"
A very old elf walks to up Curascious long unkempt white hair, robes covered in patches she introduces herself as Saira. She leans on a staff breathing heavily, you can tell she is very out of shape and hasn't missed many meals.
"Oh I can show you, but it takes a long time to get just right. Once you learn it though. We can copy our circle into your spell book and then you can cast it whenever you need to." She takes Curascious aside making wild gestures giant circles in the air and laughs at her own jokes.
She gives Curascious 3 scrolls of teleportation circle. "These are very expensive. Technically they will take you anywhere you know the circle.
//It will take an hour or two for her to explain the method, but in the end Curascious is able to scribe Teleportation Circle and has this particular circle transcribed. Though it is a 5th level spell so not super useful.
What do the rest of you want to do? The town is cleaning up, they are chopping up the giants body to haul it out to a giant burn pile. The people here have been through this before, or similar at least. Halgra offers you space in the long hall for the night if you want or you can leave right away.
Curascious easily commits the method to memory, even though it will be a while before he can call forth the particular energies to cast the spell himself.
“Heroes! What an honor.” Curascious looks around. “What did we do?”
Kurst hands Red a full tankard of ale, "It's cause you proved my brother didn't kill hisself. Oh and that giant was pretty impressive too." He continues on toward his men who are celebrating.
Curascious will start to drink, but then get distracted by an idea that he just had. He takes out a pen and parchment and begins writing, scratching out his notes, and then writing again.
Herd finds a small gnome in long robes that are covered in patches. He has glasses that are clearly broken on his nose. He has his nose in a book and a small stack next to him. "Fun party isn't it? Raishan? Oh, she's an interesting one."
He then goes on to tell you:
Raishan, as an ancient green dragon, was able to take on the form of others. She had frequently taken on the form of Seeker Assum, briefly a dwarf named Larkin, and deceived the Fire Ashari through the form of a young girl for several years.
Her natural form was that of a green dragon. She had piercing green eyes, gnarled green scales and hide, and arrays of brilliantly white teeth. She was, however, much smaller than the other ancient members of the Chroma Conclave, due to the strange disease countered upon her by a druid half a century ago. Because of this ailment, her body was covered with festering pustule sores and gashes. However, this did not hinder her fighting ability. She was quite versed in Druidic magic and harnessed the poison from within her to do damage.
Raishan was cursed half a century ago by a druid, after Raishan had killed all the followers at a temple of Melora. The druid gave her last breath to "spite" Raishan. At first the sickness was merely an inconvenience to Raishan, however the disease spread and worsened over the years. Raishan became obsessed with finding a cure but everything she tried failed.
She ended up being killed in the Chrome Conclave war by the heroes Vox Machina.
You can tell the little gnome could go on for hours.
The other gnome's monologue is mildly interesting, and Curascious mentally files away the information for later, but stays focused on his thoughts regarding the alchemical processes of transfiguration. He is working on one sentence in particular.
Carvin useful, but not strong enough to carry large loads. Need portable shelf. Rolling?
Wagon?
Wheels impractical. Gravity also an issue.How to turn air solid? Freeze it?
Freezing air impractical and potentially detrimental. How solidify without freezing, while getting around gravity?
Just conjure a plane of force?
A demiplane of force that exists in the prime plane. Gets around the freezing problem. Bind it to what?
Anchor the demiplane to the archanomechanical armor. Capacitors should handle the strain. Should last for an hour, maybe.
After several minutes, a semi-transparent disk appears, hovering next to Curascious' chair.
Curascious starts talking rapidly about teleportation circle theory, and asking if he may please attempt to cast the spell, if only to see what happens.

You know, for a moment, I completely forgot that this took place in Exandria, been a while!
Mozu nods, “I am willing to lend my support. Once more, a show of ‘good faith,’ which I assume shall be remembered further down the line, correct?”

"It's because we kept those orcs from drinking up the town's stores." Red says dryly.
Kurst hands Red a full tankard of ale, "It's cause you proved my brother didn't kill hisself. Oh and that giant was pretty impressive too." He continues on toward his men who are celebrating.

Mozu will undoubtedly become the best drinker, and therefore, must take on all comers in a drinking contest. Such is the way of the victor.

Later in the night Sara Morninghawk steps up to Mozu, "All comers I hear. Think you can out drink me? 5 gold says I can out drink you."
// Drinking game. Drink until 1 passes out.
Round 1: Con with a DC of 10
Round 2: Con with a DC of 11
Round 3: Con with a DC of 12
This will continue until one of you fails twice, meaning you passout.
Up for it? :) If you lose you lose 5 GP.

Herd observes the behavior of those in the drinking contest, as if a student studying animals of the wild for the first time.
Herd eventually asks of anyone sober, "Who is this Raishan? Is there a connection to that Worm God symbol we saw on the orcs in the house?"
Storm King's Thunder - Ink, Elven Bladesinging Wizard
Core City: APbPA - Ormond, Human Twilight Cleric
The Inferno - BG:Dia - DM

He does know him, his name is Bilgrim Zanybar Jorxif Calser. Curascious has seen him at the library but rarely talked to him as he is always reading.
