23rd day of Readying, 595 CY
The night passed uneventfully, and in the morning the spell casters recover spells and heal Ozzie back up. They then head back to town with the Owlbear chick with the intention to sell it at the Emporium. Getting there they meet Gasper who ends up buying the chick for 2250 gold pieces. They split up there gold and head to the smithy to buy some new armour and weapons. The next stop was the general store to top up some other supplies.
They then head up to the Garrison and Heironeous temple to tithe and spend some more gold. Getting there Mason is giving a letter that had shown up there. The letter is from Tirra saying she is impressed with his ability to spot her and would like to meet to discuss an alliance of sorts. She says she will be at the Feral Dog at sundown should he choose to come.
After some discussion they decide that Mason, Deanr and Ozzie would go and meet with her. They spend the rest of the day laying low at the temple. Mason once again undergoes the ritual of receiving lectures on goodness and lawfulness. He gets great joy out of frustrating the paladins and clerics of Heironeous.
In the afternoon they go visit the We Jas acolytes at the Boneyard. They told the group of their findings at the Land farm. The Wee Jas clerics are concerned and have the party take one of them over to the farm to take a look. The cleric Elise, looks around cast a detect magic spell and looks around some more. Questions them about any clues they may have found, but they didn’t know of anything else. They take her back to the Boneyard.
At sundown the three set out for the Feral Dog. As they enter to see Kullen and company sitting at their usual table. They note that he is there only with three of his company instead of the usual four. Tirra is in the back throwing knives and make wagers on the game. She spots Mason and motions him to join her at her table. Tirra suggests a mutual trade of information that would benefit both her and Mason’s little group of friends, one friend in particular. Mason, intrigued with the offer says he will take it back to the group. They agree to meet at Hungry Gar for breakfast.
Meanwhile, Deanr and Ozzie are sitting at the bar having some beers and watching the goings on in the bar. They notice that Kullen is in an extremely foul mood and abusing everyone he can get his hands on. When the barmaid does not move fast enough, Kullen pushes her and she falls to the floor. She gets back up and limps to the bar. Ozzie, feeling sorry for her, gives her some gold and plays nice with her the rest of the night. Ozzie ends up leaving with Candy when she gets off work. Mason and Deanr return to the temple for the night. Analyn and Alex spend the night at the Midnight Salute partying with the troops from the Garrison. Wilhelm spent the night at the Temple talking with Mélinde the young paladin.
24th day of Readying 595
They get up in the morning and can’t find Ozzie anywhere. Mason, Analyn, Alex, Deanr, and Wilhelm head down to the Hungry Gar to meet Tirra. She is already there and waiting for them. They exchange a few pleasantries and then get down to business. Tirra suggests she may have some information that will make Alex very happy, a name, and in exchange she wants information about the cairn. She tells them she is sure that they have been in one. As much as they would like to deny it, they don’t and agree to an exchange of information.
Tirra tells Alex that the name she has is Talon Zar and that he is the man that killed his father. He tells Alex that he is a very experienced and a very dangerous man and they best be wary of going after him. She lets him know he can be found in Greyhawk. In exchange she asks about whether had come across any “special” leather armour with a certain eight pointed figure. She was also inquiring about a ring with the same symbol. The group told her that they had indeed find some armour filled with corpses but not the ring.
Tirra assures them that her friends would jump the cairn, but asks that once they are done with it that they tell. She says then she will tell her friends about the cairn once they are finished it. She gets them to agree to tell her where it is. They agree to this.
They then leave and return to the temple and wait for Ozzie. Deanr heads out to Allustan’s place to try to gather some more information. He does not get much from Allustan and then heads back to the temple. On the way he runs into a guy named Migos Fehr. They seem to think they know each other, but after a brief discussion realize it is not possible. Because Deanr does not know who his parents are could not help that way either. Deanr returns to the temple to tell his friends of his strange encounter with Migos.
The party then decides to go talk the Green Lady at the temple of Wee Jas. They travel for a few hours and make camp. The night passes by with out incident
25th day of Readying 595 CY
They make their way towards the temple and as they near it they are intercepted by some clerics of Wee Jas. They ask to see the Green Lady in regards to the grave robbing of the lands. One of the clerics goes to the temple to see if she will see them. The cleric comes back and tells them the Green Lady is not interested in meeting with them, but thanks them for their help.
They decide that maybe should they head back to the cairn and see if Alastor can shed some light on where the bones are. They travel the rest of the day towards the cairn and make camp for the night.
26th day of Readying 595 CY
They awake in the morning and continue on to the cairn arriving there mid-afternoon. They check around to make sure that no one else has been there, but find no further evidence of intruders. They make their down to the sarcophagus room. They set up the lanterns and go up and talk to Alastor. Unfortunately he can not shed any light on the where the bones of his family. He is very distressed that they have not been able to help and once again pleads with them to find the bones and unite him with his family.
They discuss the problem further and the only answer they can come up with is to go the Greyhawk to find the bones. They are convinced that that is the way to go. “All roads seem to head to Greyhawk” says Deanr. They decide to try the other elevators and try to finish more of the cairn.
They go and play with the elevator under the yellow lantern. They finally figure out how to make the elevator go up down from the bottom and the top. They all end up at the bottom of the elevator and begin to figure out the room…
They gained 100 experience points for the night.
Total to date; 1600 experience points each.
