# 06_20201010 Reunion in the sewers ## Session Summary Separated from her companions but having discussed the [[Hall of Justice]] previously, Xio made her way to the bridge near the Hall of Justice in an attempt to look for the others. As she got there, she was approached by Hill, who had managed to take the first book from the [[Analects of Vondelak]] that Xio had left in the card. Soon, Ka'ira made her way there as well, and Xio hid with Ka'ira in the sewers. Hill stayed above, waiting for Maestro, who showed up a few hours later. While waiting for Maestro, Xio studied the first book, which was about truenaming. When Maestro arrived, the party crept stealthily through the underground sewage network, hearing strangers hurrying to a potential meeting with the [[The Nashers]]. They came across the sight of more of the dark creatures they saw at the [[House of Knowledge]] carrying away some unconscious orcs, and Ka'ira and Maestro decided to help. ^summary ## Recap ![[05_20200927 The attempt to get to the Round Rump#^summary]] ## Log - Objectives - Find Ka'ira and get her to safety via the sewers. - Leave Ka'ira in the sewers. Send animal messenger to [[Madame Rosene]] to ask for backup to protect Ka'ira. - Go back to look for Maestro. - Maestro - Looks for maps of Neverwinter - [[Protector's Enclave]] and [[Blacklake District]]. Got one from [[Hatooth]] - Goes to the [[Hall of Justice]] to try to find us. - Sends his owl out. - Ka'ira - Hill took one book of the Analects for me! - I go with Ka'ira to the sewers - Sewers - Water is red - Others use the sewers - Sons and Orcs and others who want to be sneaky - Hill takes Maestro to the sewers - I look through the first book (first volume of [[Analects of Vondelak]]) while waiting for Maestro - Some words used by gods and evil gods were words of power. The true names of things gives power over the things. Supernal and Abyssal language - they are long and hard to pronounce. Inflection of language must be perfect. - This volume is about the true names of creatures. There are others for places, things. - The simplest names of creatures are there, but each one takes several pages to explain. - Requires a feat in true naming - first volume of [[Analects of Vondelak]] #[[Carrying (Xionerys)]] 5 lb. - Men walk by in the sewers and we hear some conversation - "Where do you think it is?" "It should be around here somewhere." - Two thin men in ragged, dark cloaks - they look poor - "The boss says their headquarters are somewhere in the sewers. Where could it be?" - Ask [[Madame Rosene]] if she knows who those two thin men in ragged, dark cloaks were and why they might have been looking for the [[The Nashers]] headquarters in the sewers. Were they [[Graycloaks]]? [x] #[[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Agenda]] [[Next Actions]] - I rolled a 17 for Perception: no identifying marks. They just look like low-lifes. I don't recognize them. - Rolled an 11 for intelligence: I seem to recall that [[The Nashers]] seem to have headquarters under the city. Only higher-ranked Greycloaks meet the Nashers there. - I rolled a 27 for dungeoneering (with a +5 because I know the way) - I hear a commotion up ahead. Grunting and scratching on the walls. - The orcs are losing a battle - Ka'ira and Maestro decide they want to help. They have previously had some interaction with orcs from the [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Kingdom of Many-Arrows]] and they want to help.
