Vixia The Wealthy And Righteous Swords

Mia was surprised to see Maxer show up, but in doing so and providing an apology, she was able to forgive him for locking them up. She'd nod her head in thanks for his compliments on her win. A smirk would grow on her lips when he'd offer to meet her at the fighting pit on a day off. Unsure of where she would be in that time, the fighter could only say, "Should our paths meet again, I would enjoy the opportunity." The half-elf would offer a cheeky wink. "If you find yourself in need of an ally or fighter, send for me." She'd add genuinely, offering her hand to shake before he'd depart.

During the discussion, Mialee would nod along. Truthfully it did appear they were at the end of their interest and reason to be here. There was more adventure to be had elsewhere. She was happy to hear that Talinian was inspired to learn more.

When it was her turn, Mia would share her experiences. "I walked the village and stumbled upon the local fighting pit. Naturally I wanted a crack at it." A grin would tug at her cheeks once more. "I sparred with a guard. It was a good sportmanlike fight." She'd nod, satisfied with choosing Lem as an opponent for that reason, not necessarily because she won. "I was able to mingle a little with the locals and learn one of their stories." She'd explain.

"I'm glad you've found some inspiration." Mia would add outloud to Talinian, hoping Bones has found some as well. "Where does our journey take us next?" She'd offer a small smile.

Talinian grins as the little paladin recounts her experiences in the fighting pit.  It was not anything he would enjoy but he could appreciate the joy in challenging oneself and be happy for her pleasure.

"Next, we head home to report our successful mission, get paid, and get a new mission.  Anyone have any other ideas?"

Bones shakes his head, "Home would be welcome." He sits quietly in thought for a moment, then adds, "I wonder what will happen to the village with Raymond no longer in his chair of authority? I am happier knowing that the mayor no longer lords over his people with his undead minions. Power like that should be earned and treated with respect, not lorded over others as a fear tactic."

Talinian nods in agreement, though he never got the sense the Mayor was doing that.  Still, people were entitled to there opinions.

Mialee would nod affirmatively. Report back was absolutely a logical next step.

You have returned home to Trewesbury, received your payment of 1000 gold to split between the 3 of you.  (if you wish to spend any of it feel free to, the list below are the magic items and the prices that are currently in Trewsbury.)

You see a guild member who you do not recognize but does not look like a new member either.  Pietersite Port please describe yourself.

ooc: How much downtime do we have?  Talinian wants to continue his research into a Wand of Magic Missiles and also wants to start researching a spell that will let him destroy undead.

I was not thinking any but I will give you all 1 week before you see Pietersite.

(OOC - Once you've got the spells worked out, Bones will transcribe them into his spell book. And then spend any remaining time brewing potions. I'll wait til you have the spells and then work out rolls etc :) )

Pietersite is leaning against a wall a bit away from the desk. He is obviously a goliath, although a small one as he's only about as tall as the tallest of humans. He's wearing a plate armor made from a greenish-black metal, with its leather parts dyed red. His skin is brown, his eyes quite a lighter brown, and his hair gray. On top of his head is a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat, its color a medium brown. From his backpack seems to hang an ornate maul.

As you enter the lobby, he turns to look at your direction and eagerly pushes himself off the wall to join you. "Greetings! The name's Pietersite Port. You don't have a mission at the moment, correct? Would you mind joining me on mine?" he asks, as he moves to shake hands with the one of you at the front.

Spells

cause fear, mage armor, magic missile, shield 

blindness/deafness, misty step

Mialee stands 5’10” tall with honey blonde hair that’s just passed the nape of her neck, one side tucked behind a pointed ear. Her skin is fair and her eyes brown. A scar runs from her temple all the way down her cheek, and others down her neck and collarbone. She looked not yet 30, though her scars of experience betray that facade. Mia sported a hefty warhammer and comfortable defenses.

 Entering the lobby, Mia's eyes would fall over the goliath pushing himself off the wall. She'd look him up and down as he'd approach. The enthusiastic and direct greeting earned him a smirk from the warrior. Mialee would accept Pietersite's handshake with a firm, respectful grip of her own. "Mialee." She'd dip her head in greeting before letting go of his hand. "And what sort of mission would yours be?" She'd tilt her head in curiosity as she'd take a side step back to allow room for Talinian and Bones to provide their own introductions.

ooc: Talinian will scribe Cause Fear and Blindness/Deafness to his book and then he will make a scroll of Improved Mage Armor and 2 of Chromatic Orb. He will also buy 2 more basic healing potions.  And also scribes Siphon Life.  He also spends 1 day working on the Wand of Magic Missiles.

Talinian enters behind Mia.  A tall tiefling, standing over 6' tall, he has pale red skin, deep blue hair and wings.  He is also, obviously, a wizard.  He moves up beside Mialee, standing in such a way that it is clear they are already a team.  He smiles at the goliath.  "How do you do?"

When Bones arrives, Talinian will find a moment and tell him about adding Fireball and Dispel Magic to his repertoire and asking if Bones added any new spells and if he wants to trade spells, again.

Bones spends some downtime copying spells into his spell book - Siphon Life (2hrs & 50gp), Blindness/Deafness (2hrs & 50gp), and Misty Step (4hrs and 100gp). He returns the books to Talinian and shakes his head as his friend offers the third level spells, but unfortunately he cannot copy them as yet.

(OOC - my 1 level in cleric means I haven't gotten 3rd level spells yet :(  )

Bones then uses the remainder of the week brewing up another Greater Potion of Healing (100gp), then purchase 10gp worth of Incense to resummon Cinder, and attempt to sell the Bagpipes of Ooze.

As Bones approaches, Pietersite would see a short, 3"1' dark skinned gnome with a long white beard and wiry arms and legs. His face is slightly discoloured and looks almost like a skull painted on his face (think Baron Samedi). He nods in greeting to the goliath, "Welcome, sir. I'm sure we can help you with your problem. What seems to be the issue?"

ooc: where do you see Siphon Life?

(OOC - that was mentioned specifically a while ago as one of the spells in his books.)

Quote from SpieltJoos >>

(OOC - that was mentioned specifically a while ago as one of the spells in his books.)

 ooc: in that case Talinian will also scribe in Siphon Life.

I think siphon life came from a long while ago.

Pietersite happily greets everyone. But his face takes on a displeased look as he moves to answer their question: "Some fool has decided to rob the Museum of Wilderness Peoples in Tineford, and multiple times at that. They had been robbed on three consecutive nights when I got this mission, and there's been three nights since for them to continue." His mood slowly improves as he continues: "Hall Master Caresta himself asked me to take on this contract, as the museum in question was founded by his sister. A great archaeologist that Glynnis, a true role model for us all."

"Stealing history so that others cannot learn," Bones shakes his head. "What has been taken each night? It sounds like we should move quickly before the museum is emptied of its treasures."
