The Wingless Pegasus - August 5, 2016

- Chewy chocolate chip cookies
- Litter Box issues
- Pretty kitty cat pictures on FB

- During the week they are waiting for the ship to be unloaded / loaded the girls spend their time in various ways

Felosyal
- practices duel-wielding with her longsword and her magicky daggers
- explores the city
- figures out who the head honchos in the underbelly of the city
- picks some pockets in the bars in the evenings (17 GP worth)
- convinces S (doesn't take much) to cast water breathing to go treasure hunting in the sunken ships at the bottom of the bay - they find a pretty, probably ceremonial dagger in one of the wrecks worth about 500 GP

Thessalie
- helps in the healing wards, especially on the most difficult cases as she has actual healing magic
- also helps with the non-healing chores, especially planting the herb garden
- creates sealed bag of waxed cloth for the Arm and an extra or two for the Mouth and anything else dangerous they might find
- gives the local Temple her torches and travel rations so she doesn't need to carry them around any more now that she can do those things with spells
- trades a casting of the Divination spell for a scroll of Plant Growth for the herb gardens
- she casts Plant Growth on the Temple's herbs with the scroll from Hinnel, it takes a full day's work
- Hinnel asks, "
- uses the Divination ritual to gather information:
      - Q: Where can we find the information about how to permanently destroy the artifacts of Lellzutho?
      - A:  Far away in an ancient fort the keeper of such knowledge churns. He feels his efforts come up short, perfection still he seeks, it is for this he yearns.
      - Q: Where can we find the ancient fort where the keep of the knowledge of how to permanently destroy the artifacts of Lellzutho dwells?
      - A: The fort lies within a crumbling ruin beneath the shadow of a snow-capped peak.
      - Q: Who is the keeper of the knowledge of how to permanently destroy the artifacts of Lellzutho?
      - A: The one you seek has lived for ages. Neither quite live nor quite dead. His very existence defies the sages for his life is but an echo of the efforts of the mages.
      - Q: How do you remove a being from the influence of the Mouth of Lellzutho without killing it?
      - A: Everything he touches the beast Lellzutho kills. Of those under his affect, a chance return is nil.

Sharai
- she goes treasure hunting with F for one day
- she goes through the town looking for magic users who might know some spells she doesn't yet know, and finds someone who can teach her a Mirror Image and Witch Bolt
- she spends a lot of time resting and being mysterious

- During the time the Temple receives a large donation from the city for clearing the bay of the monsters
- The week traveling to Caledonia is surprising uneventful and boring
- Caledonia is a huge city being both a trade port and the capitol
- Everything seems normal at the docks
- F asks the sailor who looks likeliest to get drunk where the palace guards hang out - he says probably at the Golden Crown, but he likes the Blue Mermaid because the booze is cheap and so are the women
- FST head for the Golden Crown
- While walking they observe that most of the inhabitants are human with a few elves thrown in. They do not see any halflings yet.
- F leads them without difficulty - it has a sign shaped like a crown and looks comfortably middle class - well-kept and clean
- The room is full of mostly men in city guard, palace guard, and soldier uniforms with a few merchant types thrown in
- F immediately gets her flirt on with a couple of the palace guards
- The nobles hang out at the Hornless Unicorn, "Isn't a hornless unicorn just a horse?" "They might as well call it the Wingless Pegasus."
- T pretends to only speak Elven, this is quite hilarious because her Elven is so bad "Work finding where mercenary?"
- The palace guards don't know anything about magicky animals or people acting strangely.
- S orders a wine, F orders ale for herself and the guards, and T orders "Butterscotch", which confuses the waitress who actually speaks Elven, but S covers for her calling that the name of buttered beer in Agranon.
- One of the guards says the king has been giving some crazy stipends to strange people, and a mage came through and asked for help setting up shop and got 1,000 GP to set up shop and buy things
- The mage headed north towards the forest to build a tower
- The court magician is "quite powerful", but she probably never leaves the castle
- The palace guards have to leave in not too much longer as they are only junior officers who have a curfew

- 2,700 XP for 37,735 XP ea.
