Igan is asleep. Artemis, Tork, and Xanadu tell each other their backstories a bit. Tork is from Kenktucy where he was banished from for trying to steal a gem from the museum.
Tork and Xanadu built a raft and we sail for the west. We encountered and defeated a Water Weird, then took a short rest near the Logger’s Camp.
We then went to Neverwinter – none of us have ever been to a city.
We went to Driftwood Tavern, Tork got mead and Xanadu got a beer.
TORK DANCED IN MESMORIZING FASHION to young teenage apprentice that works at the docks.
“YEAH KENKU, DO IT” says the kid.
Tork tells him of treasure in exchange for help/safe passage.
Tork buys 10 mead for the kid.
His name is Ricky, he works on boats.
Tork dances again while Ricky drinks his first drink of the 10, and he’s pretty drunk.
We get to-go flasks/waterskins and we have Ricky take us to the docks.
Ricky is too drunk, and he leads of all over.
Tork pushes Ricky towards the south, and he’s staggering.
We eventually make it to the port.
We talk to an old salt about passage to Kenktucy, costs 100 gold.
We work for an old salt, get a 10 day boat ride to Kenktucy.
We dock, there is a small town surrounded by a wooden wall.
Concerned about being recognized, Tork rolls around in dirt/got fluffy. Shrugged off most of the dirt and is dusty.
We go up to wooded fence into city. Tork talks to guard. Guard says to Tork “you know the payment to get in”. Tork claims he forgot the payment. Guard looks at coworker. Then says “words” to Artemis and Xanadu. Artemis teaches them “Water Weird” and Xanadu teaches them “Seasonal Necropheliac”.
We are allowed entry.
We go to a curiosity shop called Shiny Things.
Xanadu suggests we dress up like we are from another dimension, and make our way into the museum and let them know we have more powerful gem. When we get the Kenku gem we say the chant and move dimension. We must find gems and costumes.
The shopkeep shows some gems shaped like pencil, orange, elephant.
Shopkeep recognizes Tork and says “Tork! Dusty Tork”.
Tork persuades shopkeep that his name is Jonathan and he’s from another dimension.
We are told to leave.
Tork tries slight of hand to steal a gem and is spotted.
We go to next shop, called Sparkle Magic
He offers us a sack of gems (unseen) for two gold. Xanadu intimidates the shopkeep and lets us look inside. It’s indeed full of gems.
We buy the sack of gems and a jester suit (could fit Igan). Artemis pays two gold.
We go to a clothing shop. There’s a pearlescent shirt medium. For Xanadu. 2 silver
Small bear costume sold to Artemis for 1 silver.
Next store, we find a hat with two frogs legs sticking straight up. Similar to a baseball hat. Tork asks for something shiny, and is given a g-string. Price for both is two silver. Tork claims to only have two copper. Tork gives shopkeep two silver.
We go to the inn where Igan is. No magic on gems/costumes.
Xanadu goes to the butcher shop to find bones to make glue. Xanadu sees the museum – not very big. Probably about the size of the inn at Phandalin. It is elevated on stilts.
Butcher and Xanadu haggle over lizard bones. Butcher gives 2lb sack of lizard bones for 2 silver.
Xanadu makes glue for us to glue gems to our costumes.
Xanadu glues gems to bear costume, glues bones to Tork.
Igan and Xanadu glue gems to outfits in aesthetically pleasing way.
Outfit Summary:
Tork: Shiny g-string, with glue and bones on him with froglegs hat
Artemis – bear suit with gem eyes
Igan – Bedazzled jester suit
Xanadu – pearlescent shirt, bedazzled.
Artemis and Badger go check out museum at night (closed) around 9pm.
Next to museum if royal palace (to left), street wrapping around the right of it, behind it is the butcher shop, industrial shop. All closed at night. Artemis can’t see into the window. No entrances or exits in the back. Badger checks it out underneath – didn’t say an entry points other than breaking through the floor. Barred windows all around. Hours are 7am-6pm.
Artemis can see a flash of light moving. Artemis goes to get drip/Igan to look into the windows of the museum. Drip sees a Kenku with a lantern.
