Note: Craigh learned a new spell, Chromatic Rod, before the group left Dryads Lair.
That group has arrived now in Loosend to settle things with the knarr and get ready for the final leg home. First stop when you have a ship is always the docks.
NPCIC%The time is 5:46 PM
The date is Ko____se, 26th Eap (Late Fall), 358 SKR
Young Moon's phase is First Quarter
Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous
Dock worker: What the hell are you doing!
Dock worker: Bringing that thing here!
Dock worker: Get over to the southern docks you idiot!
Dock worker: Looks over at Indigo
Dock worker: How can I help you?
Indigo: We didn't see a sign
Indigo: These are docks
Dock worker: Looking Indigo up and down,
Indigo: We're returning this ship we leased from Jorlaine
Dock worker: Jorlaine?
Indigo: Yes
Dock worker: When was that?
Dock worker: She has been dead at least what 6? 8 months?
Indigo: Ohhhh ... longer than I thought we'd be
Indigo: Dead???
Raelynn: How did she die??
Indigo: We've only been gone like 10 months
Dock worker: Got hit with an anchor chain snapped her neck
Indigo: OWWW!!
Dock worker: City full of priests and would any of them help a proud city worker? HAH
Dock worker: SPITS
Raelynn: cringes away from the spit
Indigo: Who took over her business?
Dock worker: That would be .... (snarls) .... Orlean....
Indigo: scratches his head
Raelynn: Is that a good snarl or....
Indigo: Yeah ... why didn't anyone take her to a priest?
Craigh: Is that Old Orlean, or New Orlean?
Dock worker: Orlean owned the ship that had a loose anchor.....
Raelynn: gasps
Bixi Fizzlebang: Very suspicious
Raelynn: Was it a murder?
Dock worker: SPITS
Dock worker: I can't say it was, I will not say it wasn't
Raelynn: Maybe we still need to talk to her...
Craigh: Craigh shows Indigo the page in his journal where he noted the names of the ship owners they bought it from.
Raelynn: So we need to find... whoever that is?
Indigo: Anyway, can we please dock the ship until we figure things out?
Dock worker: Certainly
Dock worker: I do have to charge you
Dock worker: 10 silver
Indigo: of course
Dock worker: since you were friends with Jorlaine
Indigo: hands him the coin
Indigo: Thank you
Dock worker: Nods, thank you Sir Indigo
Indigo: Raelynn will try and figure out what happened and we'll let you know
Dock worker: Nods she broke her neck,
Dock worker: not a bad way to go I guess
Dock worker: Could be worse
Dock worker: starving sucks
Dock worker: drowning is hard
Dock worker: Fire is not good either
Dock worker: I have heard you can even die of a bad gut, shitting your self to death
Dock worker: That seems rather bad
Indigo: Yuck!
Raelynn: And not pretty at all.
Indigo: Getting killed when you didn't have to be is bad though no matter how quick
Indigo: looks at Raelynn
Indigo: Where should we go to investigate?
Raelynn: Hmm..
Raelynn: .Well I do admit this is my first time trying this, but if we want to try to find Jorlaine we need to find here like we did last time.
Raelynn: Wasn't that a brothel?
Indigo: Dockmaster, did Jorlaine die here on the docks?
Indigo: She stayed at the brothel a lot I think
Dock worker: Yes she did
Dock worker: and yes she did that too
Indigo: Which berth?
Dock worker: Right where you are
Indigo: Oh. Creepy!
Indigo: Thanks
Indigo: So either one that's best Raelynn
Dock worker: It is one of three with the cranes to unload the cargo
Dock worker: I am guessing you have goods to unload?
Raelynn: Oh! We do have a pig, yes.
Indigo: I dunno yet. Not sure how long we're staying
Dock worker: Raises his eyebrow
Raelynn: shrugs
Bixi Fizzlebang: boar
Raelynn: It's Bixi's friend.
Craigh: You know Jim hates it when you call him a pig.
Raelynn: That's between Jim and Bixi.
Dock worker: SNOTS
Dock worker: Clearing his nose
Dock worker: So if you need anything just give a holler, I have other things to tidy up before I hit the brothel
Dock worker: SPITS
Raelynn: Um wait but we really do have a swine in the cargo...
Dock worker: OH
Raelynn: We can't get him out easy without a crane.
Dock worker: I can do that for you
Dock worker: and the butcher is closed but they will take him in the morning
Bixi Fizzlebang: NO!
Bixi Fizzlebang: He is my steed
Bixi Fizzlebang: Working boar
Bixi Fizzlebang: He carries stuff and things
Raelynn: nods
Dock worker: Peers around and spots Bixi
Raelynn: Much too old to be good to eat.
Dock worker: Huh,
Dock worker: Are you part of the circus?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not anymore
Craigh: Yeah, but he also hates it when you call him an Old Bore
Bixi Fizzlebang: Is it still in town?
Dock worker: Like a monkey riding on a pig?
Dock worker: Sometimes that get kobolds to do that
Dock worker: but they get feisty from what I hear
Dock worker: The last time ea circus was here in town was two months ago, heading south
Raelynn: Oh so we might see them on our way back!
Raelynn: Anyways if you could please get us a crane while we seek out Jorlaine, that would be lovely!
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 17]
Dock worker: Helps load the crane, lift Knotty out of the hold and onto the docks,
Raelynn: (to Indigo) I think maybe we should try the docks first, and if we can't find her, then the brothel. That sound good to you?
Indigo: Sounds good to me
Indigo: When Branwyn did it she got people that died in the house we did it in, I think, so it might work like that for you
Youtargim: Cleans his hands
Youtargim: That was good
Youtargim: Glad we got the heavy lifting done
Raelynn: Oh! I should ask her some tips next time I see her!
Raelynn: Well we can light some candles, and if that doesn't work, I just learned a new spell..
Raelynn: Are you done helping, Yout? Are you coming to the seance?
Youtargim: Of course
Youtargim: Will be there to keep you warm, I hear they can wear you out
Raelynn: Let's see if we can find Jorlaine, then!
Raelynn: starts preparing her lovely candle set-up of ocean scent and lavender, adds a dab of perfume, fluffs her hair, and prepares to try to call Jorlaine.
Bixi Fizzlebang casts a Bless spell on Raelynn to aid her in her seance
Raelynn concentrates and throws all her skills into the effort to summon the spirit of Jorlaine.
Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 2]

Soon Rae senses a spirit on the docks
It does not feel familiar, but you cannot be sure it is or is not the one you seek
Raelynn: Hello! Is your name Jorlaine?
Spirit on the docks: Hello there! How are you! It is so nice to talk with someone after all these years, I am so glad you came down here to visit me, no one ever does anymore. My name is Lilly, what is your name?
Raelynn: Hi Lilly! My name is Raelynn. I'm sorry we can't talk for too long, but we're trying to find our friend Jorlaine who died recently. I would ask you if you've seen her, as she died recently, but that would be a question. So, I guess I'll just ask if you're doing okay?
Spirit on the docks: I am doing very nice, Jorlaine is a fun new friend.
Raelynn: Well I guess I do need to ask since you know her. Do you know where we can find her to talk to her?
Spirit on the docks: She is right there (points to the crane) She was trying to entice a dock worker whispering in his ear, being very naughty, she is a lot of fun
Raelynn: Can you get her for us?
Raelynn: I dressed up to see her!
Spirit on the docks: I will go ask her
and the moment is over
the spirit is gone
Indigo: That was a nice spirit
Bixi Fizzlebang: It's too bad she couldn't stay and talk to us longer. I would like to know her story
Raelynn: Umm, hmm. I guess the boat won't help with trying to summon her... we might have to try again another night...
Indigo: You can try again tomorrow Raelynn
Raelynn: blows out candles
Raelynn: Yes, I suppose so. She knows we're looking for her so maybe she'll follow us around.
Youtargim: Did you make a wish?
Indigo: It's hard to catch the dead
Raelynn: Of course! I wished to be able to speak with her tomorrow.
Indigo: I think they have a lot of stuff to do
Raelynn: I wonder what kind of stuff?
Youtargim: Chains and dragging them around
Raelynn: Feasts and killing giants is all I noticed...
Youtargim: Boooing a lot?
Indigo: I mean otherwise they'd just be here all the time and not be so hard to call
Youtargim: Making fun of old people?
Raelynn: Hmm, true. I would rather be having a party than talk to someone on a dock.
Raelynn: Yout! why would you make fun of old people?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, would you want to be called away from a feast to talk to us about your murder?
Indigo: laughs
Bixi Fizzlebang: That sounds way less fun
Raelynn: It depends. If it's someone very pretty, maybe!
Indigo: If I got murdered maybe so people can get justice
Craigh: Creepy as all get out trying to talk to the dead.
Youtargim: I have read stories about ghosts haunting old people
Raelynn: Why is it creepy? They're just someone on a different plane.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know if I'd want to relive those old memories
Indigo: that doesn't sound like fun
Youtargim: Ghosts from the past and the future telling them what to do
Raelynn: That sounds like an interesting story.
Raelynn: So where do we want to stay tonight?
Raelynn: I need to visit my temple before we leave, but that's all/.
Youtargim: The inn we stayed at before?
Youtargim: They liked Indigo
Raelynn: That's true. Did I stay? Was it a nice bed? It's been such a long trip I can't remember.
Youtargim: You were with Licornah, but now that she is not here, you can share my room
Raelynn: smiles
Raelynn: I suppose that could work.
Walking through the city
arriving on the south shore again
Slip: (Hears the door open) Come in...
Slip: Oh wait, we do not want any pick pockets around here
Slip: You hear me, you have to behave
Slip: OH
Slip: Oh, Sir Indigo!
Slip: You came back
Slip: It is so early
Slip: what happened?
Slip: Looks at the group to see if anyone is missing
Indigo: Early? I thought we were pretty late actually
Slip: I thought you were going to be gone for years
Indigo: How are you? Glad you are here
Raelynn: Years?
Slip: Sailing gets in your blood, you start off and just loose track of time
Craigh: Maybe for you...
Slip: So ... ah.... if I can ask
Hold: What do you mean if you can ask!
Hold: THWAPS him on the back of the head
Hold: Sir Indigo, do you still have the Buttercup?
Indigo: Of course we do
Hold: Huh
Indigo: We're sorry to hear about Jorlaine
Hold: That rumor was wrong then
Indigo: What rumor?
Hold: Damn shame about her
Hold: We heard a rumor that you had starting taking ships, forming your own navy,
Hold: That happens when you lose your main ship
Raelynn: Who started rumors like that?
Hold: Heard you took a boat from some bugbears
Indigo: We did take a couple boats ... but no ships
Hold: and another one
Hold: see
Hold: It WAS true
Indigo: How'd you hear that from way back here?
Raelynn: But how would anyone have known?
Hold: News travels back and forth a lot
Hold: and the Priests spell their messages for some of the merchants
Hold: trying to get a jump on the others on the docks for what goods are coming in
Indigo: Didn't think we would be that interesting
Slip: The Council should outlaw that
Slip: not fair for good folk to have to compete with those merchants who want to ruin the markets
Hold: You are interesting Admiral
Hold: Heard that maybe you were building another navy for the Queen
Hold: Others take notice of those things
Indigo: Nah! I'm out of the navy business
Hold: might be a new tax
Hold: Can you really get out of that?
Indigo: I think so?
Slip: You should feed him
Slip: Stop talking and go fetch him some food
Slip: and his friends
Slip: and tell that girl to go make up the beds for our guests
Indigo: Thank you!
Slip: Whispers, is she in good shape?
Youtargim: Handles like she was fresh and new
Indigo: Oh yes! She got banged up a bit once but we fixed her right up
Youtargim: We took on pirates
Youtargim: She is a good sturdy ship
Slip: Yes she is
Slip: I am glad you appreciate the old girl
Indigo: The problem is that we gave 5000 gold to Jorlaine to hold while we leased her and now she's dead. Did she give you our gold?
Slip: Yes she did
Slip: I have that for you
Indigo: Ohh that's good. So we can swap the knarr for the gold
Slip: It will take a day or so to have the priests verify it
Raelynn: Oh well that's much easier than trying to find her!
Indigo: What do you think happened to her? The dockmaster thinks she was murdered
Slip: The dockmaster is the one who did it, of course he would think so
Slip: rotten bastard
Indigo: The dockmaster killed her?
Indigo: He sounded like he liked her
Slip: No one saw it but everyone knows he did it
Indigo: Why would he do that?
Slip: Jealousy
Slip: what does any man want from a woman?
Slip: Looks around quickly to see if he was heard
Indigo: Ummm ... lots of stuff
Slip: I mean of course anyone would be in a lot of trouble for
Slip: She deserved better
Indigo: Yeah no one deserves to be murdered by an anchor chain
Raelynn: Are they doing an investigation? Or is she just... not going to get justice?
Slip: She knew her business, no accident that was
Slip: They investigated, took his word that it was an accident
Slip: She had no family
Slip: She did have a will
Slip: gave all her money to various girls in two different brothels
Raelynn: Oh well that was nice of her!
Slip: The priests put that to rights
Indigo: Huh?
Slip: They bound her up and floated her down the river
Slip: making sure all her debts were paid, and her wishes were met
Slip: then they washed their hands and that was the end
Indigo: That was good partly
Hold: Here is a good stew for you all
Indigo: Thanks!
Raelynn: Is it spicy?
Hold: I hope you all get a chance to sleep well, get your land legs back under you
Indigo: digs into his bowl happily
Hold: No dear, no worries, I did not make it spicy
Indigo: Yup. We're walking back.
Indigo: Hey! We should buy a wagon and some horses to take back
Raelynn: Oh, I was kind of hoping to try a spicy stew, but this will be good. Thank you!
Hold: I can go find some peppers for you
Hold: What sort of horses you need? you sold some here before, we sold them onto other travelers
Hold: I did not think you would be back for years
Indigo: Same kind. Just to pull the wagon
Raelynn: Oh, it's fine. Howard was raving about some spicy stew and I've been curious since.
Slip: Not years,
Slip: A year or two
Hold: TWO ------ YearSSSSSSS
Indigo: I didn't expect you to hold them for us
Hold: You have two rocks? do you have many rocks? or a rock?
Howard Plum: Bixi got some peppers in the fire swamps. I hope she will cook up some stew when we get back
Hold: Shakes their head and goes back into the other room
Raelynn: Oh, true! She could make some on the road. I bet it'll be good.
Slip: She is just a mess
Raelynn: Umm, is she okay?
Slip: We can find you some horses and a wagon
Indigo: That would be great
Indigo: We'll travel much faster that way
Slip: She just is on edge, the travelers have not been consistent these past couple of months
Slip: two large groups, but none in between
Raelynn: Is that not normal? Is there a reason for it?
Slip: and with it getting late in the year
Indigo: That's strange. Loosend is such a busy place
Slip: We get a few every week
Slip: Since the problems up in Jarvis fewer people seem to be traveling in larger groups
Slip: Like yours
Slip: so once we fill up, we have to hope they stay
Indigo: What happened in Jarvis?
Raelynn: Wasn't that something with some king murdered or something?
Slip: Last spring when the hobgoblins attacked
Hold: Nods with Rae
Indigo: Think that was Blackwater, wasn't it?
Indigo: No. Guess not
Slip: I have not heard anything from the clans in Blackwater
Slip: Two of the tzars came through about a month ago
Bixi Fizzlebang: I wonder if they need help
Slip: I suppose everyone needs help now and again young gnome
Slip: I will go out and look over the Buttercup with you in the morning Admiral
Indigo: All right
Slip: Then we can stop at the priests and have them pay you out
Indigo: Sounds good. Thanks Slip

Raelynn: Hello!
Seraphine Marblewing: Hello
Seraphine Marblewing: Are you adventurers?
Seraphine Marblewing: You must be to venture out on such a night
Raelynn: Well we're looking for somewhere to camp...
Bixi Fizzlebang: What's your name?
Craigh: Are we venturing to find ads?
Seraphine Marblewing: My name is Seraphine Marblewing
Bixi Fizzlebang: Are you a ghost?
Raelynn: Oh! What a lovely name!
Seraphine Marblewing: Thank you, my mother gave it to me
Seraphine Marblewing: But it is my daughter that I need your help with
Craigh: Is she a ghost? Is that a question we ask people now?
Raelynn: What's wrong with your daughter?
Craigh: chuckles
Bixi Fizzlebang: This just feels like an appropriate place to meet a ghost
Seraphine Marblewing: She is dead, I am not certain if that makes her a ghost
Bixi Fizzlebang: And that's a ghost name if I ever heard one
Craigh: I'm sorry.
Raelynn: Umm, that is a good question.
Raelynn: I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but how can we help?
Seraphine Marblewing: She was buried four days ago
Seraphine Marblewing: then last night two graves were opened up
Seraphine Marblewing: I am afraid hers will be desecrated tonight for some ritual
Seraphine Marblewing: Can I beg you to stay and protect her on this night?
Raelynn: Oh, maybe? But why are people opening graves? That's very wrong!
Seraphine Marblewing: Yes
Indigo: Desecrating graves! Is there a necromancer around?
Seraphine Marblewing: I do not know
Seraphine Marblewing: the coffins were taken out and opened, the bodies, torn, I do not know who would do such a thing
Indigo: We should help
Raelynn: Oh how horrible!
Bixi Fizzlebang: I absolutely agree
Bixi Fizzlebang: We should help
Raelynn: We should, but we can't stay every night. Do we just hope to find out who it is tonight?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe we could ask a ghost?
Seraphine Marblewing: Tonight with both moons full would be the night they would be preparing for
Seraphine Marblewing: Is what I fear
Craigh: I wondered if that might have anything to do with it
Raelynn: Oh, okay. We can certainly help tonight. Hopefully after tonight they'll leave her alone.
Indigo: Like werewolves then? Hmmm ...
Raelynn: Are they around here...?
Indigo: I dunno. Haven't seen any by here before
Raelynn: I guess we'll find out?
Indigo: Guess so!
Raelynn: Don't worry Seraphine! We can camp here and protect her tonight.
the group goes just down the path and off to the north to find the entrance to a large mausoleum
The time is 6:51 PM
It is evening, getting darker

Indigo: If it's eating people we need to get rid of it
Raelynn: Too bad N'laea isn't here. She can just, like, flicker her hand and they're gone.
Daphene: obviously embarrassed
Raelynn: Northeast?
Indigo: Hey Badger!
Indigo: looks around for it
Raelynn: listens carefully with her elfish ears
Craigh: looks around with his humanish eyes

Ghoul 2: AHHHHSSSSSSHHHHHH
Raelynn: EEEKKKK!!
Indigo: AAAAAAHHHHH!!
Ghoul 2 claws at Indigo and lightly wounds him, but it is not able to paralyze him.
Indigo: spins around as ghoul claws at him
Indigo attacks and kills Ghoul 2 with his short swords.
Raelynn: I'm so glad you're here, Indigo.
Indigo: That thing surprised me! Hope there aren't more of them
Craigh: Be sure to let us know if you find any
Raelynn: Umm maybe I'll go stand by the wagon again...
Craigh: Badger?
Raelynn: Oh! Well maybe they ran from the sound?
Indigo: Yeah we need to protect the horses and wagon
Raelynn: Yeah, unless the badgers bother us, we can probably leave them alone, right? Ghouls are a bit more concerning...
Craigh: I can go stand by the wagon and scream if anything comes near it.
Indigo: And lasso it!
Craigh: Right! Of course! And that!
Craigh: retreats to the wagon
Bixi Fizzlebang casts a spell so she can speak with the badgers
Bixi Fizzlebang: Excuse me, hello badgers? How are you this fine evening?
Badger: <font color="#000000">GM : [Translation] Stay away from our food
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Hey, no problem, we don't want it! Whatcha eating?
Badger: <font color="#000000">GM : [Translation] These are ours go away
Badger: <font color="#000000">GM : [Translation] Growls
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] I could give you some food!
Badger: Growls from one and the other comes forward snuffling
Bixi Fizzlebang: They're just hungry... I told them we could give them some food
The group sees a ghoul perched on the top of the wall there
Another one JUMPS up on top of that crypt
Raelynn: Umm, maybe we should get rid of the ghouls before we feed them?
They are on top of the walls and roof leering down at you, slavering hungry
Howard Plum casts Magic Missile at Ghoul (Impulsive ridiculous voice), critically wounding it
Craigh: is standing by the horses, ready to use them as a meat shield if necessary
Youtargim tries to hit Ghoul (Unusually stout) with his Scimitar but misses.
Craigh: says the magic word and attempts to entangle all three of the ghouls in a group at once.
And those three ghouls are entangled in Craigh’s magical rope of entanglement
Raelynn casts Rainbow Pattern at Ghoul (Impulsive ridiculous voice), Ghoul (Dishonest chuckle)] and Ghoul 1. The first two were able to resist the spell, but Ghoul 1 becomes transfixed by the pretty rainbow pattern for one round.
Daphene tries to attack Ghoul (Dishonest chuckle) with her Sling, but missed.
Indigo attacks and kills Ghoul (Dishonest chuckle) with his short swords.
Raelynn: Don't let me ever get on your bad side, Indigo...
Badger goes back to snacking on bones
Indigo: No one is bad as ghouls
Raelynn: nods frantically
Ghoul (Impulsive ridiculous voice) claws at Indigo and lightly wounds him, but it is not able to paralyze him.
Giant Badger 1 bites and claws at Daphene, lightly wounding her.
Ghoul (Jubilant jaunt) jumps off the wall and starts to run away into the bushes
Howard Plum casts Magic Missile at Ghoul (Impulsive ridiculous voice), killing it.
At this point there are two free ghouls still out there
one in the bushes to the NW and one in the NE
Youtargim runs after the fleeing ghoul to the northwest. He attacks Ghoul (Jubilant jaunt) with his Scimitar, killing it.
Craigh continues to hold his victims restrained
Raelynn: sighs
Raelynn: Men... maybe I should have dated a woman instead...
Raelynn: let's men be men
Daphene: It's not too late, Rae
Raelynn casts Cause Fear at Giant Badger 1 and it tries to run away
As it tries to flee, Daphene attacks Giant Badger 1 with her Short sword, killing it.
Raelynn: Oh... I was giving it a chance... but it was attacking you, not me.
Daphene: My ARM!
Raelynn: We'll, um, just not tell N'laea.
Bixi Fizzlebang: He was just hungry!
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm so close to disowning you
Bixi Fizzlebang slings a stone at Ghoul (Thoughtful scream), heavily wounding it.
Indigo: runs off to kill a ghoul
Indigo attacks Ghoul 1 with his Short sword, killing it.
The rest of the group kills the three ghouls that Craigh had entangled and the graveyard combat is finished.
Craigh: Craigh recalls his rope to him and carefully wipes it down to remove any undead gunk off it.
Raelynn: says an extra prayer for Norlene
