Necromancer's Delusion-Homebrew

“I will speak with Inara and hopefully have something or something’s that will be useful for you when we meet in the morning. None of the shops are open this late but we can take to there tomorrow after we meet. You can find us in the garden after you wake.” Geo replies. 

Once back in the grove, Mucor would once again walk around in amazement. The huge hairy beast would struggle to keep the large smile from his face. As his large horned head looks around and takes in all the sights and smells, his eyes would stop on his armor. "Hu.... that is a welcome surprise" Mucor would mumble aloud as his armor appeared to be just as nice as when he received it. In fact, as the minotaur looked closer, he could see very fine and intricate designs swirling and crossing around the wood of the armor made of different colored mold and mildew that seemed to shed a very dim glow in the dark. "This is a magical place" Mucor would say before falling asleep. 

As you each awake from your long rest the warmth of the sun begins to heat the air.  Your nostrils again smell the succulent foods being roasted and prepared for the community of druids.  Your mind seems sharper and your body more rested than normal.  (Congrats you are now level 6!)  As you exit your quarters and make your way to the same bonfire area you see Geo and Inara who greet you.  "I hope you had a restful sleep.  When you are finished eating we can meet in the garden temple to discuss your plans for tonight's mission. Or if you prefer visit the local artisans, you can do so before or after the briefing.  For now enjoy your food and Geo and I will await your presence in the garden whenever you are ready."  Inara says as she joins the line behind some of the others.   

You each pass through the line and devour the delicious foods you select.  With the morning sun rising you have the day to prepare and plan.  The grove is yours to explore.

Mucor would nod to Geo. "That was some of the best sleep I have had... and it appears that I am better suited for armor of this kind than my old metal armor..." The minotaur would say as he gestures to the designs spanning across his wooden breastplate. "I wouldn't mind checking out your wares after breakfast... I wonder what other equipment you may have that might be better suited to my abilities than the stuff I currently have." Mucor would say looking down at his equipment and examining his spear and shield. He would then make his way towards the smell of delicious food hoping to meet up with his companions.

Jinara wakes with intrigue on his mind as he begins thinking about the evening's mission. As he arrives to the breakfast area, he greets Mucor, Geo, and Inara. [Bold]"Mucor if you wouldn't mind, I would much enjoy joining you in exploring what the grove has to offer."[/Bold] 

ZInmaer would awake from his slumber and after greeting Geo he would smell some of the best food he's been around in a while. He would over hear Mucor and then Jinara speaking of the grove which would spur his curiosity. "Mind if I tag along? This place is wonderful and I would love to see more."  Zinmaer would jump right up and follow Mucor and Jinara once we depart for the grove.

(Level 6! Let's gooo!)

Mucor would turn his large head to Jinara and Zinmaer with a small smile on his face. "Sure, we can all go see what the grove has to offer." The minotaur will say with a small snort as a few spores shake from his head and seem to drift off through the sunlight shining through the trees. 

You make your way east from the bonfires to a cluster of structures.  Some seem to be part of the earth, carved from a large stone outcrop while others appear more familiar looking with wooden or stone supports.  Almost all of them are overrun with ivy and surrounded by various plants. The blacksmith and forge appear to be the only structures not completely covered in ivy.

(There is a blacksmith/forge, Tannery, apothecary, enchanter, butcher and glassblower.)

Mucor would make his way towards the enchanter, looking for more magical items. 

Jinara follows suit with Mucor.

You enter a log cabin with a multicolored flower garden lining the path to the door.  As you enter you see various sizes of leather bags hanging on the wall.  On the opposite wall is a shelf stocked with a multitude of bottles organized by color of the liquid within.  in the middle of the room is a small rectangular display case with multiple rings, necklaces and a single dagger.  On the back wall is an armor rack with a couple of the familiar ironbark leather cuirass' and a weapon rack holding a spear, staff, shortsword and bow.  Above the armor and weapon racks on the wall are a few shields.   

A half-elven male with white hair and and blue eyes greets you, "Welcome friends.  What can I interest you in today?"

"Hello, I am interested in hearing about your spears... oooh... and maybe your staff...  and shields.... and ummm...  well I was given this iron bark breastplate and it is definitally quieter than my metal one... but maybe you have a magic one as well... and um.. and the rings... and necklaces...." The minotaur would say moving around the room. "I uhh... well.. I have 40 platinum and 425 gold... What can I get with that?" Mucor would ask placing his coin pouch on the counter.

Zinmaer would have seen those two make their way to the enchanter and instead he would split off and head over to the Tannery to see what they have in store.

Zinmaer walks into what appears to be more of a cave carved out of a huge boulder that settled in its current location.  Entering the abode Zinmaer's nose is hit with the smell of fur and oils.  All around the room are stands holding tethered pieces of fur ranging from rabbit to moose.  Along the right side wall are stacks of leather strips and against the back wall sit leather cuirass', bracers and cloaks.

A female human with short black hair comes down from a set of stairs behind the back wall and greets you.  "Welcome stranger, see anything you like?"

Zinmaer would see her walk down the stairs and greet her with a friendly smile. "Hey there...I would be interested in your bracers or cloaks. Do you have a variety? 

Mucor- The shop keep looks over at his displays and says, "Most will be more than what you currently have I'm afraid.  We do have a couple rings a shield and a staff available for those prices."  (Ring of Water Walking - 200 gp, Ring of Warmth - 450 gp,  Staff of the Adder - 600 gp,  Staff of the Python - 750 gp, Sentinel Shield -750 gp)

Zinmaer- the female walks over to the assortment of bracers and says, "Of course"  (Bracers of Archery -600gp  Bracers of Defense -2000gp,  Cloak of the Manta Ray - 600gp, Cloak of Elvenkind -550gp,  Cloak of Protection - 600gp)

Mucor would pick up the the shield and place it on the counter. "I will take this please..." The minotaur would say placing his bag of coins on the table. Then after a second of hesitation, he would also point at the ring of water walking. "Can I get some kind of bundle deal? If you take all the gold I have... I Will give you this potion of water breathing and my old shield if that helps.." The minotaur would say with a grin.

The shop keep looks over the potion presented to him and open it sniffing the contents.  Nodding he walks over to the display case and retrieves the aforementioned ring and places it in your hand.  "I accept your proposal.  May these items protect you from the evil that seeks to destroy us all."  looking over to Jinara the shop keep says,  "Anything I can help you with?"

Mucor would pick up the new shield and lay the old one on the ground. Then placing his new ring on the finger next to his ring of warmth, he would make his way to the door after nodding to the shop keeper. 

Gabriel rises early and heads over to the apothecary after greeting his companions.
