[session 31 continued]

During the night

• Fluke saw a group of Kenku checking out some of the other ships (possibly stealing from them)
  • Fluke makes it apparent that he is watching and they flee
• Rusco sees a ship hover over a building
  • Several people climb out
  • a few minutes later, they come back carrying a sack full of stuff
• Mina notices that there is too much ambient light to allow the stars to shine

Arwik and Rusco head to the The Hearth to meet up with the second cart.

• There are more Koalitio soldiers out than normal
• Hopefully they’re too busy with whatever they’re doing to pay us much attention
• The second cart arrives and everyone heads back to the ship

The next two trips are fairly uneventful

During the final trip

• An announcement is made stating that there is an increased threat level
  • A imminent threat of attack from has been discovered and there will be an increased police presence
  • It is recommended that people go about their business as usual
  • All ships entering and leaving the planet will be subject to search
  • The Koalitio is here to protect this planet and everyone on it
• This all sounds strange and unnerving
• The announcements and police presence seem to only be happening in certain areas
• Rusco and MAC try to talk to a nearby Koalitio officer (Judd Apto)
  • There are threats of The Return attacking
  • There may be a lock down of certain areas if things don’t improve
  • Commander Zumnorin Ashine has been patrolling the Wildspace around Bral for the last few weeks
  • Their orders were to build and maintain a presence in certain areas of the planet
  • One of the embassies might be able to answer our questions
    • The last attacks were against embassies though
• We have a close call with some of the Koalitio police but are able to avoid be stopped or searched by blending in with the crowds

We arrive back at the Crystal Cascade

• Kori is very excited about what we’ve accomplished
• Kori hands Fluke a chest and key
  • There is 20,000 gp inside
• Arwik asks Kori about what’s been happening
  • We are most likely safe for now
• Kori starts asking questions about us
  • We make a hasty exit
• We find a place to hide and Fluke puts the chest in his pocket dimension

Session 32 - Shopping!

Moved ship to loading docks - 5gp per day, 1 week maximum. We informed the inspectors that we have 13 on board, but only 12 were counted (6 of us, Captain, Algrex, Tinker, Pak’cha, Oren, Keats - perhaps Otto does not count or the inspector doesn’t count Fluke?). Otherwise, the inspection was uneventful. We learned from the inspectors that Bral is under quarantine.

In conversation with the Captain, we learned that we cannot split the payment for getting the gems for Kori until we go to Bral, and we cannot go to Bral until the quarantine is lifted. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to communicate with Ozamata. Before we left to go shopping, Captain reminded us to search for a map to Psych-Gen for Tinker. Because of the quarantine, we advise the Captain to be careful. We also ponder what the consequences of our actions on Bral might have been (as we were leaving, the general population appeared to be unaffected by our defeat of the elder brain and Unknowable One.

We decide to seek out an arcana shop first to see what wares we can find. Specifically, Arwik and Fluke are hoping to find armor (and ideally, enchanted armor) and the group is generally seeking various magical components and items. Mina, Arwik, Fluke, and Rusco visited Vemani’s Fast Smith in search of armor and weapons. MAC and Rusco then went to Viet’s Unconventionalities in search of an enchanted bow and/or quiver. Mina visited a magical tattoo artist to inquire about upgrading a protective tattoo, and we headed back toward the ship at sunset for a long rest. During the exchange of armor that evening, Fluke agreed to help Rusco turn six copper pieces into hammered rings.
