Employer

Kerekes Zsolt an Ambasador from Falagosin
Accompanied by Chotan Tabyryn the Wanderer - A female shaman from Falagosin

Mission: Some people at the east end of the sea of grass have noticed a glacier near them glowing, weather has become erratic and impossible to predict near the area as well. This has concerned them, and they would like some people to do a proper look at the area and find out if anything cataclysmic is about to happen. They are happy for said people to simply run away and bring word of impending doom if that is the case, but would like details at least, and a solution if it is less problematic than impending doom.
Pay: 10,000sp each

Scribe Notes

Appetizer

Remel shuffled into the meeting room and was greeted by many familiar faces—and one new one. Uthgard, giant in stature (and likely in appetite), stood out immediately. We sat, introduced ourselves, and, to my delight, no one had any difficult dietary requirements. That meant I’d be free to experiment with some exciting new recipes.

Before long, Guild security interrupted our discussion, sliding a guild contract onto the table. We filled it out and appointed the necessary roles just as our employer was ushered in.

Kerekes Zsolt, a well-dressed man from the distant city of Falogosin, located in the far side of the Sea of Grass, entered alongside Chotan Tabryn, a mage of quiet demeanour. Kerekes took a seat and explained the purpose of his journey: he had come to hire a party to investigate a mystery. In recent weeks, settlements near a remote mountain glacier have reported seeing bright lights emanating from it at night—visible from many miles away. Scouts had been sent, but they couldn’t make it far through the dense forest at the base of the mountain, hindered by wolves, giants, walking trees, and other dangers. There was nothing in the region’s history or recent events that could explain the glacier’s glowing. Kerekes hoped we might succeed where others failed, and determine if it is the sign of an pending apocalypse.

He and Chotan offered to transport us back to Falagosis via cloud travel once we were ready. After the meeting, they departed into Seagate, and the party began preparations. Remel headed into town with Snowdrop to gather supplies for the journey. Payment had been deposited, 10,000sp eac so we used some of that to get Greaters.h

The next morning, Remel prepared a hearty breakfast: freshly squeezed blood orange juice served alongside an amuse-bouche of smoked salmon tartare on buckwheat blinis, topped with crème fraiche and caviar, and silky truffle-scrambled eggs with a delicate soufflé pancake that are dusted with edible petals and bergamot syrup. Well fed and ready, Chotan summoned an enormous cloud, and we set off into the sky. The cloud looked, and flew like a galloping horse, not like the fluffy soft clouds we were used to. Plus it was cloudy all the way.

Starter

After a slightly turbulent descent—our cloud buffeted by a nearby storm—we touched down on the outskirts of Falagosin , a town built mostly in the side of a hill. A contingent of riders met us promptly and escorted our party into the city. To the south, ominous violet flashes lit the sky, pulsing within the storm clouds like bruises on the heavens. The ambient mana felt strange—dense and electric, as though the air itself were holding its breath. There was also some sort of celestial taint,

Upon entering Reshana, the city's bustling inner district, it was clear the storm weighed heavily on the townsfolk. The rain was normal, the mana level was normal and there was a purple glow in the clouds Unease lingered in their expressions and conversations. We found lodging at a charming tavern called The Rampant Sheep, where we enjoyed a hearty dinner and shared drinks with a group of local mercenaries. (and the communal baths - luxury) They spoke of the wilds beyond the forest’s edge—of vine boars, walking trees, cancerous plants, and other strange beasts. None had dared venture as deep into the woods as we planned.

Remel, ever the culinary enthusiast, sampled a local specialty: a fiercely cold, enchanted drink served in a thick stone mug. The moment it passed his lips, he claimed to feel thirty years younger, bursting with energy that carried him through the night as he mingled with the locals. From their stories, he gleaned several useful insights:

Access to the High Markets is tightly restricted, though a costly intermediary might be able to act on our behalf.
No local scholar is versed in the area’s magical history.
Several powerful mages reside in the city—elementalists and enchanters with names like High Mountain.
The violet storm may be the work of an immensely powerful spellcaster.
The remarkable drink he enjoyed cannot be recreated easily; it requires rare magical expertise and should not be consumed again for at least a year (otherwise it will kill you.)

The next day, we explored the vibrant streets of Falagosin. At one point, a group of thieves seemed to reconsider mugging Remel at the last moment—perhaps sensing his renewed vitality. Uthgar attempted to converse with a local fire mage, but the exchange ended in confusion. It was evident he, Regu, doesn't like halfling ice mages. Dunno why. I certainly didn't do anything. That evening, Uthgar, Arcadia, and Snowdrop found solace watching the stars, letting the strange energies of the storm swirl behind them.

Come morning, after the party weave magics, Remel prepared a simple yet exquisite breakfast: airy Etherflour Brioche, baked from skywheat and served with shimmering starlight butter and rich sylvan berry preserves. Alongside it, he plated Gilded Trout Medallions, crusted with golden almonds and glazed in whisperwine, served with a chilled glass of sky-mango juice—a quiet moment of luxury before we pressed on into the unknown. You need a better lock on your pantry Remel. Sky-mango juice makes a refreshing light sorbet.
