Silgar slowly closes the book after finishing it. Still not sure exactly what he read, he readies himself for the a long night of rest.
Finding himself in the same room as Darrimus, Ash greets him with a nod.
While laying out his travel gear, Ash begins: “Friend, with how eventful things have been for the past few days, I haven’t had the chance to talk to you much. At first I was drawn to your skills and discipline as a paladin, but now it seems as fate has intertwined our pasts and futures. Could it be true that the betrayer you seek and my lost companion are truly working together to cause this turmoil? I...I don’t want to believe it… But one thing is for certain. This would be far too great of a threat for each of us to overcome alone. I am glad that we are together to face it.
Darrimus taps on his hilt...
”I fear it is true... The Order of Tempus is fairly tight knit... There are not many around these parts that follow the Foehammer. I haven’t received any news out of Odiago which based on the slaughter means Graxxy is either dead or part of this... The testimonies lead me to believe Graxxy is part of this as I detected no lies from those speaking...” says Darrimus.
Darrimus clutched his amulet.
”I have taken an Oath of Vengeance against Graxxy. He cannot live after breaking his Oath. Especially with the atrocities he as committed.”
Darrimus looks to Ash.
”Betrayal is very painful. I am sorry you are experiencing this as well. Maybe your companion can be saved... If not... Well I’m glad to stand beside you in battle.”
"You will have the same loyalty from me, friend." Ash replies, while pulling up his blanket up to his face.
While a lingering fear remains in Ash's psyche from the previous demon encounter and talk of witches, he believes he will be able to sleep soundly tonight with the brave paladin near his side.

Laurentia transforms into a cat and stalks out the street where the barmaid told her to look. She finds the alchemist shop quite easily and slowly stalks up and down the streets. Lurking around the corners she finds a few small critters and other city dwellers that only seem to show themselves at night. The only sign of humans came early in her investigation. Two humans, one male and one female, were walking back in an attempt of a straight line. She did not even need the enhanced smelling from her cat nose to detect the alcohol from across the street. Unfortunately, she did not find anything witch like during the early morning. As the sun began to rise, she returned to the room to rejoin the others.
OOC: It is now morning. Please let me know what you guys would like to do.
As the group comes down from their rooms in whatever fashion, they find Laurentia already in the barroom chatting up the bar maid once again ( I still never got her name). She relates her findings to the party once they are all assembled. "I took a stroll around this morning, but I didn't find much anything out of the ordinary where we are hoping to go today. Probably safe to check it out in daylight."
The barmaid responds "My name is Chaedi, Chaedi Aloro doll."
Darrimus dons his armor and heads downstairs.
” It’s time for Fireside to return. I’ll be waiting outside. Come on out when you’re ready to head out.” Says Darrimus to Laurentia as he passes by.
Darrimus casts Find Steed once more. After 10 minutes there stands Fireside. Darrimus walks up and pats Fireside on the ribs.
”You healed well friend. Not sure how much action there will be today so it may be uneventful. We will be hunting witches soon though! Unless we catch them out in the open you will probably just be transporting us but you are appreciated. Glory to Tempus!” Darrimus says telepathically.
In a brisk pace out the door Stilgar greets Laurentia in passing with a smile full of potted meat leftover from the night before.
“mrmgmh” *gulp* “gotta meet a guy about some bottled feet...see you outside!”
" I guess our meeting will be outside this morning then," Laurentia says confusedly to herself before joining them.
The group quickly assembles outside and heads towards the alchemist shop "The Mossy Mortar." Fortunately, it is not a long walk on this muggy morning and the group reaches their destination just as the humidity starts to really get to them. They enter the shop and see the overweight human chemist is staring off at nothing while slowly rapping their fingers on the counter. The spacious room is tidy. The overweight chemist looks at your eyes intently, and then smiles, and welcomes you, and walks over to you and introduces herself as Naome the proud owner of the shop, and asks what she can do for you.
Ash browses the shop's wares.
" Pretty bust place you got here." Laurentia states aloud.
She will attempt to identify some of the ingredients and their possible uses.
Nature 9
Ash browses the potions concocted from the chemist and see that there are current 11 out on a shelf. There are also miscellaneous ingredients around the shop on a shelf in jars.
This smoky ruby oil smells like strong ale.
A sapphire draught, contained in a glass flask etched with geometric patterns.
This bubbling admixture causes a warm sensation when used.
This thin liquid smells like wood smoke.
A viscous brass admixture, contained in a thick glass jar.
A white admixture, contained in a crystal bottle with a bronze stopper.
A white serum, contained in a tapered bottle etched with geometric patterns.
A bubbling potion, contained in a tapered jar.
This scarlet serum causes one's eyes to turn blue when used.
This swirling yellow tincture smells like clove.
This viscous tincture causes shadows to appear darker when used.
"Do you trade here? Would you be interested in purchasing some scrolls we've acquired from distant parts of the land?" Ash asks, fanning out the scrolls obtained from earlier.
Spell Scroll (Lesser Restoration) (uncommon, dmg 200) (150 gp)
Spell Scroll (Locate Object) (uncommon, dmg 200) (150 gp)
Spell Scroll (Magic Mouth) (uncommon, dmg 200) (150 gp)
Persuasion: 21
Naome responds to Ash "I do not normally buy scrolls but a friend of mine owns the general store not to far from here. I can buy them off of you for 375g."
Ash accepts the chemist's offer. "I hope you can make some profit off of them as well, ma'am." he says with a wink.
Recalling the information provided by Laurentia, he continues: "By the way, we've heard some rumors about a witch passing through town. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you? My group here is quite interested in such matters..."
Persuasion: 10
stilgar approaches the alchemist revealing various bottles full of exotic and disturbing substances.
”Sir today is your lucky day!! Ive got several goodies which i know a man of your skillset will appreciate!
Naome looks at the various jars and lets out a gasp when see eyes over one in the middle. "Oh my is this.. is this what I think it is?" She picks up the jar holding it to the light and says "Oh never mind, it is just some pig's foot." She continues to look around and says "Well I will be honest, some of these are useful." She grabs a jar that has a floating eye in it and says "Like this is an eye of newt. Can be used in some potions." She sets the jar down and says "150g for all of them. Including the pig's foot." Stilgar catches her licking her lips a bit before saying "I always love me a good pickled pig's foot..."
Ash ask her about a witch nearby. Naome stops observing the jars and turns to him and says "What business would have with that? Did their coven hire you to track her down?"
"The coven...? I'm not sure what you are referring to, ma'am. This is a more personal matter. We're just looking for some information."
Ash pauses for a moment.
"...information that might be linked to the events happening in Odaigo. You've heard of this, I'm sure?"
