Eberron: Rising from the Last War

I think that's a good idea. "I could use a long rest," says Elero as they slink away. "Do you think Yosgrim's safe now that we've taken out Thorn?" he asks, a feeling of dread briefly coming over him. "Should we check in on him first before we rest, or catch him in the morning?"

"From how the goblins talked about Thorn it didn't sound like he was liked to much in the temple, so could easily be a loner. However, we do know Zaeran knows about what he was doing to Yosgrim, but we have no clue how his stance in the temple is. But it did sound like Thorn was acting on his orders. But killing Yosgrim was Thorn's idea. Zaeran didn't really care it sounded like. But was fine with it happening. All in all I think he should be save." Erix says as they walk towards, I assume, Mark's appartment to rest and discuss next steps in the morning.

You all make it back to the safety of Mark's apartment. Do you discuss anything there?

Erix will show the bag of holding and what is in it

so everyone gets 95gp 57sp 37cp and 5 electrum; apparently electrum isn't 1/10th of a silver anymore

who would like one of the potions(healing, climbing, greater healing), and who is interested in having the bag of holding?

Mark would like the bag of holding 

“what did you see when you were in the tower? Should we go back to collect more information?”

"Take the bag," Elero says, then smiles. "I can make them.  Oh," he looks around, "if anyone else wants one tomorrow, let me know." He fiddles with his Robe of Useful Items. "I have three healing potions in here somewhere, so you all can have those.  A potion of climbing might be handy for me, if nobody else wants it.  As we saw earlier, I'm no good at it naturally."

"As for us, we heard a couple names that we don't recognize, but that might be useful.  Mistress Ash and The Shadow's children.  And Zaeran, of course, from Droaam."

If anyone wants to share or discuss anything else i'll leave you some time to do that. Otherwise i'll move on to the next morning, I believe tomorrow is Thursday, the day before the party. You also will all get a Long Rest by the time you wake up.

"I've got healing spells so the potions would probably be best to be with one of you two, Kit and Mark."

“Happy to have something that will save my skin out there. So what do we want to do? Go back to the gnome and inform him that the issue is taking care of? Should we try to follow the cult to see there coming and goings? Go get breakfast and maybe an ale.” Mark says as he updates the board with new information.

"I could really use a rest," Elero responds, checking his wounds.  He starts fishing through some random items on Mark's desk, picking out a green jacket button, some matchsticks, a long, thin strip of metal, a needle, and the spring from something that looks like a lockpick, and begins rolling the metal around two of the matchsticks, building a small frame with the rest of them, and attaching the needle and button to it.  He'll twist the spring, and then say, "You're safe, Yosgrim.  We took care of Thorn," as the metal strip winds from one matchstick to the next and the needle scrawls across it, and then the green button pops up on its matchstick.

He removes the needle, presses the button again, and everyone hears a grainy version of his voice repeat the message, and then sees the green button pop up again.  He'll take the Magical Tinkering outside and look for a street urchin, offering the kid one gold piece to take it to Yosgrim's shop, and describe how to get there. [DM let me know if I need to roll for any of that]

"Ok, I think that'll work," he'll say, smiling, when he returns.  Noticing Mark's frown, he'll cast Mending on the lockpick, restoring it to full function.

It seems you don't need to go to Yosgrim's with Elero's ingenuity.

When you all wake in the morning and after Elero informs Yosgrim of his situation, a mailman arrives with a letter addressed to you all. It reads, "Hey it's Vilroy, come meet me in the same place. Also, can you guys come up with a name for yourselves if you're going to be doing jobs together? I can't be bothered writing out all of your names every time."

"Hmm." Elero ponders the letter. "We do seem to ruffle a lot of peoples' feathers with our antics, so maybe the Rude Boys?  The Rascals?  Rapscallions?  I seem to be focused on the letter R."

"What about The Rouge, The Renounded, The Redeemed. Maybe those, also I would like to get a recording device in Zaeran's room if you can change yourself again." 

"That would be great," Elero responds, then his shoulders sag, "except all I know how to do currently is record a quick message.  So unless we could get Zaeran to hit the button and summarize their evil, we're going to have to hold off on that plan."

"I like The Rouge, though.  Very mysterious." Elero begins gesturing theatrically. "Why do they like the color red?  Do they wear makeup?  Why or why not?  Very mysterious."

“Fair enough, what if we get back in and take note of his documents, his coming and goings written on paper?” 

So is the plan to get more information on Zaerun, or meet up with Vilroy? I guess you've not accepted the job from the Sharn Watch yet, so you could just not meet Vilroy.

"Before we can do anything about Zaeran we will have to check out that the temple didn't burn down completly" Erix says with a look at Elero. "Shall we first head to Vilroy? Or do we not want to do the job?"

"Going to Vilroy's probably a good idea, as is keeping clear of the temple for a bit." He waves the Sharn Watch writ. "Maybe she'll give all of us one of these this time."

Mark thinks for a bit, then nods his head in agreement of the new plan. 

You all head back to The King of Fire in Middle Dura. If possible this place is even more busy now, with the Race of Eight Winds coming up in just a couple weeks the gambling and chatter is almost unbearable. 

Vilroy is waiting for you in the same backroom as you met her before, "Come in, sit down. No Captian Brittle this time, he needs to stay far away from this one. What have you all been up to the last couple days?"
