Session 1
I was looking forward to a return to the Plane of Valm, where I was on my last adventure but, at the last minute, word was received from House Sulis that they weren't ready yet. So, having nothing to do, I went on an adventure offered by Vigor, representing the No 1 Hobbit Detective Agency. He told us of a curious case he was investigating, that of grain going missing from a silo. He was hoping that solving this would give him his promotion to full Detective. The curious thing about this heist that it was only one bag a month that was going missing. One bag out of a hundred or so, which to me, was really strange.
The Hobbit Detective Agency had hired Guild members before so they had a fair idea what they were getting (I hope) and we would be paid standard Guild Rates. Presumably there was a salvage bonus in there as well. Unfortunately, with me were only two companions, one being Phos, the orc binder with an accent that reminded me of Pasifika, and the really annoying and bossy dark-skinned elf earth mage, Ashe Willoberry. I suspect there's drow in her lineage. I know I was raised by elves but this one can be extremely insufferable. She 'suggested' I learn basic Healer. It's on the list Ashe.
Vigor told us that we were going to Brastor, specifically the town of Charity. Each grain bag was as big as a human and this had been going on for at least the last four months, at the New Moon. Why the New Moon specifically? Was it lycanthropes? Were-rats? Nah. That's Full Moon. Curiouser and curiouser as someone said when they went down a rabbit hole. Mine was certainly peaked. Anyway Bossy Ashe became the Military Scientist and I became the Scribe.
Human sized bag. Been going on for 4 months. Goes missing in New Moon. Lycanthropes? Were Rats?
Follow Vigor to a bakery. Get some baked goods and some fruit and demonstrate fruit ices etc.
11am Vigor has a fruit basket with lots of fruit in them. Wants me to experiment with them. Tailors shop, downstairs, dwarf. Rune portal in the basement, seats in the circle, sit down. Dorian the dwarf does his stuff.
Find ourselves exhausted in a similar room. Come out in another tailor shop. Across the street is a pub. Order lunch. Brastor
