Scribe Notes
In The Beginning.........
We were all bought together in Guild meeting room 3A after volunteering for this potentially lucrative mission that we’d been offered at the Second quarter guild meeting at the Seagate Guild.
We decide who will take what party positions and Raithmoor is voted leader with Kate as his closest contender. Red Brian becomes the Military Scientist unsurprisingly and I become his second in command in case of mishap. I’m also the scribe as you may have guessed by now!!
Meet with the Bank’s representative and decide that we will opt for the % share of the mine (if found & producing gold that is) rather then the flat 10,000sp each we were offered. We think that 2% of this mine each may be worth it. Decide that we need further equipment and start our purchases.
Tuesday 2nd April 1996
A new day has dawned and we continue our purchasing and preparation for the mission. Have a brief meeting with employer and advise him to return to his plane ahead of us and arrange mounts for those without them (not RB or I), he does so and we continue planning to meet his transportation mage next morning.
Wednesday 3rd April 1996
We arrive at the rendezvous at 9am and see a hunched figure in a dark cloak. We greet him and he turns to reveal old and weathered features as well as his Aura, which we find is that of an extra planer mage. We show him our letter of introduction and he sends us to the other plane - well all but RB who turns up later after his portion of the transport spell was absorbed by his armour for some reason. Once together we reported to our employer in the nearby field for instructions and supplies. We pick up the necessary goods and we then set of towards our initial destination of Lucky Gulch. We travel for the rest of the day and have no significant encounters. However we run into an inordinate number of mages and it seems that people are forced to become mages if at all possible and the most present college is the Namer college cos it seems they will accept just any dim wit with enough MA. In the evening camp is made off the road and watches are set as follows 6pm-10pm Raithmoor and Kern 10pm-2am Kate and Dido 2am-6am Red Brian and Antonio The night passes uneventfully and Red Brian stands guard as we mages purify in the morning before breakfast. Thursday 4th April 1996 We start again on the road towards Lucky Gulch and find it is much the same as the previous day but with traffic diminished somewhat. Late afternoon sees us camping at the roadside again in a secure area. Again the night passes uneventfully. Friday 5th April 1996 After purification and breakfast we again set off and travel all day until early evening when we ride into Lucky Gulch. Don’t ever believe that this place is for tourists as it looks like a ghetto with a low opinion of itself. One that has let itself go to the pack whilst continually vomiting crap. This was being kind to it as it’s a squalid dump if ever I’ve seen one (Caulder’s sewers were prettier and more functional than this town). Anyway we pulled up to the biggest and most solid looking building in this dump and saw that a stiff breeze would blow it and most of the town over but it was the best of a worst lot unfortunately. So stabled our horses in the corral outside and went inside, we were surprised to find people inside it and we acquired a room for the princely sum of 10sp a night. We had a quick round of DA’s on the occupants of the pub and found that one table had 5 people which were all Spies, Thieves or Assassins (4 Thief/ 6 Thief/ 7 Ass/ 5 Spy/ 6 Spy) as well as being Celestial, Mind, Namer, Namer and one other college which we failed to ascertain. Needless to say we were petrified at the thought of spending a night here with such reprobates in close proximity and it did cross our mind whether we should exterminate the vermin here but we didn’t!! The night was spent fitfully whilst fortified and under strict watches in our room but nothing untoward occurred. Saturday 6th April 1996 We left as soon as the sun came up and found few others moving at this time - possibly due to the fact that most of them would be purifying. Anyway we had several Locates on the reprobates as were keeping a close eye on these in case we started to be trailed by them.
