Dreams Into Journey

"I would be interested in going along." lia confirms.  "Is there any pay or reward in it as well though?"

Oswin will nod his agreement, “I’d also like that tooth back, at some point I would like to see if I can use this latent power to fashion it into one or more weapons. Its big enough, perhaps I can make one for each of us, what do you two(?) think?” 

(Is it just the three of us left active?)

"Coming with you seems like a good idea, I'm certainly just as curious to know what it is." Valentia responds to Nessarian, just before she hears Oswin. "A weapon? I don't know how to handle them very well... I prefer using my spells most of the time. Even this mace I carry with me has barely seen any use."

Oswin will smile slightly, “Not all weapons are used for striking. Perhaps a wand or a tip for a staff os some kind?”

"That makes more sense, yet it doesn't change my opinion. I use Kelemvor's power in my spells, and I use this amulet to channel his strength." She shows the amulet around her neck, that she'd already shown to Oswin before. "Unless you say you're going to make an amulet like this one using the dragon's tooth, I don't think I'd be helped much by that... Which doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, I'm just thinking of the possibilities."

"A wand might be useful." Lia says with a frown. She shrugs.  "I'm not that good at crafting things, so will leave how you make it all work to you."

Nessarian responds to each of the questions as they come, first to Oswin, "The analysis is finished. So, yes, you can pick up you items. The only thing I couldn't glean from the amulets is what they do. It's almost as if their properties change depending on one's experiences."

He then turns to Lia and nods, "Of course. The ruins are quite a ways away and some of the animals and monsters have been acting strange, lately. I have more than substantial funding and materials for my research and with what information you've given me, I can expect quite a increase in my resources. Does, 50 gold each sound sufficient?"

"It depends on how much danger we actually face, but that seems like a decent amount. It's more than each of our earlier missions so far, so I certainly see no reason to complain." Valentia responds, taking back the amulet for the purpose of keeping it just in case she finds a way to discover the mysteries that still remained. Namely, what does it do.

Lia would grab back her amulet as well.  "I think that will be quite good for starters." She responds to the 50 gp reward.  "I assume we can keep any treasure or other things we find, that are not related to your research anyway."

Oswin will also nod, “Agreed, maybe I will see something there that will inspire me. Or more things to create with.”

"Fantastic!" Nessarian exclaims. "Shall we get going while there's still plenty of daylight? We do have a two-and-a-half day hike, if memory serves."

"Ready when you are." Lia agrees.

"I've got everything set and I'm just waiting for you..." Valentia says, unsure at who to direct that to as even Nessarian looked ready to go.

Oswin will make sure his gear is secure on SD and wait for Nessarian to lead on.

"Let us depart, then." Nessarian says as he conjures a pack and leads the group to the door..

"Glimmer, you know how to get Gerrod home."

"You can count on me, boss!" The small sprite says with a chipper voice.

"Could you at least try to..." Gerrod's slightly annoyed voice quickly fades as the party exits the cottage.

Following Nessarian back to the mountain pass, the group notices a lone figure traversing the path, moving south from Ragkohm.

(@nschrock your character has now entered the campaign)

(I... just appear? Like I pop out of a hole like a friggin’ groundhog?)

(Looks like no new character then. Back to recruiting.)

As the traveler moves gets closer, they are able to see more details about him.

He is in simple pilgrim's attire. In his arms, is a small child, little more than a toddler, who is awake and clinging to him. About 60feet from them, they turned to their right and approach a small cairn around 20 feet off of the path. He kneels down an pulls an arm free and places his hand on the cai

(If you want to interact with them, we can do some retroactive RP, but for now I'll continue on.)

DM screen:

Following Nessarian south along the path, the rest of the morning passes without incident.

The day wears on, but as soon a the sun starts to disappear behind a peak, a pleasant sound is heard echoing off of the crags of the surrounding peaks.

Valentia does have some interest in approaching them. She looks to the others for some confirmation before deciding to voice her question instead. "May I go get closer? I feel something calling me there, but I'll try to get done quickly."

(Nonetheless... Here it is:)
