Killilli’s Dragon Heist

Kerri winces at all the yelling.

"It involves peppers! Peppers make me cry and puke! Come on!"

The to the ghost,

"We'll be right back ghost! See you soon! Or not see you soon!"

The pepper farm was said to be in the Undercliff, this area is outside the town below Cliffwatch, a super fancy area in the North Ward (where you are now). The closest gate would be the River gate in the trades ward but you think you wouldn’t arrive till sundown if you went that way. How would you like to proceed?

((Is it still morning, it's just farther away, or am I mistaken in what time of day it is?))

I would say it’s about early afternoon by now, taking into account your late night last night, and a bit of wandering around the alley. It will take you a few hours to get through town, then you would need to pass through the gate, which is normally fairly busy and the city guard and a magister question you and make you fill out some forms (it’s like going through customs) then you would have find your way to the farm, so although it wouldn’t necessarily be dark it would be getting there.

((Whatever Lyss decides, Aimee is onboard with.))

"He said something about the Pepper Man having a scarecrow that was acting up or something like that, but I think it'll take us a while to make it to his farm, we should probably wait to do that until tomorrow, since he won't know to expect us, showing up at dark doesn't seem like a good idea."

((If we're getting a start the next morning to be able to take the day to look into Pepper Man's problem, what do we want to do with the rest of today? LS, would Spark be sharing any of his visit with the fellow we saw exiting the manor, or he keeping quiet for now? BE, anything Kerri needing/wanting to do or see to?))

Aimee will spend the night reading about ghosts and pointing out the interesting passages to the ghost by just randomly talking to walls, floors and ceilings.

Aimee, in your reading you find out that poltergeists are invisible spectres who haunt places they have a strong connection to, usually with some unfinished business. They can be set to rest by finding their remains and performing a ritual. Some poltergeist have been known to have been appeased in the past, but their disposition depends on how they were when they were living.

((Anything on how near the remains need to be to the place of haunting?))

"Hey! Ghost person? You got some business I can finish for you? If you want! You might want to live here forever with me! I get that too!"

"Aimee! Ask if it's a troll!"

"Ohh, and are you a troll? It's totally okay if you're not though!"

As you ask questions aloud to the air, you hear a bang. From where you heard the sound, a piece of paper floats to the ground, looking like a newspaper clipping with a picture of a kind faced half-elf in front of the Tavern smiling. The headline reads, ”Trollskull Tavern - the next Yawning Portal?”

Aimee inspects the paper then asks,

"You want me to kill this guy? Oh you are this guy! Bang twice for yes! To you being this guy! Or three times to kill this guy! Four times for neither!"

Lyss will read the rest of the clipping while Aimee is conversing.

(Btw what would the other two like to do with the rest of their day?)

Lyss, from your reading, you find out that the person in the picture is Lif Prendergast. He is being interviewed about his goal to make Trollskull Alley a hotspot and bring the community together with his Tavern. 

The walls shudder...

”Bang”

”Bang”

"Ohh! This it's the guy! That guy! Not a troll! Can you spell guy? If so I can go breath on a mirror and you write on it and tell me what you want! One bang for yes!"

Aimee is on a roll.

"You're Lif Prendergast? Hi Lif! I'm Lyss, that sounds pretty similar, but Lysslin is my full name. This is Aimee, and Kerri and Spark are around here somewhere. I'm sorry your a ghost now... Unless you wanted to be, but most people don't."

"Shhh! Lif needs to bang!"

((Haha))

Lyss pauses to let Lif respond, clamping down on the quips about Lif and life.
