 The Bunch started the last session in Alaphon Landing on the docks, going to visit Grendira, an old wise wizard that might be able to help identify the glyph on Paavu’s forehead. She was in the middle of casting what felt to be an extremely powerful spell, so once she has some time tomorrow, she will talk to the group at her lab. While leaving the docks, Gold Brain ran into an old friend, Alice, a fellow sailor he shared some time with on some shipping vessels. Gold Brain learned some rumors about Lyraena and the reasons for her downfall.

Feeling the need to go relax chemically, the Munch Bunch found a happy little bar in the Fluffy Halberd. They then went to find something more clean and comfortable, and settled on the Dark Ocean Inn. Once they got set, Gold Brain shared some of what he learned from Alice with the group, and that inspired Paavu to share some of what he’s learned from Garok’s journal with the group.  Dara looked shook, but internalized those reactions and did not share with anyone. As the group said good night, they all went into weird sleeping situations and I didn’t take notes, but just know it was pretty inefficient and it lead to Paavu sleeping by himself.

When Paavu awoke, he was not rest, and in fact was well done. He had burns and char marks all over his body. What hair Paavu had was all singed, and it could be smelled when he entered a room, and he had taken damage as well. The Bunch did not know why or what happened, and went on to visit with Grendira in her lab. She cast a number of spells, increasing in power, to try to determine the true meaning of that symbol on Paavu. Unfortunately, the most she could infer was that it was a link to something, but what she could not figure out. She also could not say why he was singed and hurt from sleeping, but advised to get an eye witness to it.

The group decided to take turns watching Paavu sleep to see if they could get a clue. Paavu has never slept so well, despite the slight unease knowing his friends were watching him. The party milled about town for another day, awaiting for Dakota’s saddle and some potions to be completed. When Paavu slept, he slept in a room by himself, or so he thought. Wimpy disguised himself as a crow and perched up watching him, witnessing nothing of significance. The group went and picked up their potions, and Nuka went and got Dakota’s saddle. Feeling an even stronger bond with Dakota, her confidence is at an all time high and the future is bright.
