# [[037_20210911 Leaving Rumblecusp]] ## [[Session Summary]]: We continued our downtime on Rumblecusp. You both got mounts: Boris got a basilisk mount he named Sulfur Breath, but left him to defend Little Finger and the Keep if necessary; and Ora got a baby carbuncle named Karnur. Boris was able to destroy the Will of the Talon, the evil, sentient war pick from Vokodo's hoard, but only by attacking it with and destroying Zehir's Lash of Shadows as well. Basalt the dragonborn baby proved to have acid breath, making it very difficult for Jannika and Soma, the two women taking care of him. After Ora told The Revelry that a ship was still being built, and that you'd made Rumblecusp your home, a ship arrived, full of reinforcements, as a personal gift for the new rulers of Rumblecusp. Among them was Idel, the black-haired captain of the *Bawdy Gem*. Boris learned from Hektor how to craft a chain shirt, and Ora spent some time with Jannika, Qresk, and Burpee. We left our newly established home of Rumblecusp to much fanfare and gratitude from the newly willing residents. On the way to Port Damali, we came across a ship of merchants led by the half-elf Thamior, who sold us a lot of magical food and got an eyeful in return. Arriving in the colourful city of Port Damali, our first stop was Verdant Ventures, where the firbolg Heymat Sol recognized us from the last time we were here and began to show us his wares. ^summary --- ## Housekeeping - [x] It takes 1 month for [[Aethelfaer]]'s shop to be upgraded PER LEVEL.

You see that at the bow of the ship is a wooden, carved figure of a human woman. her face is cloaked in shadow. Her arms are outstretched, and in each hand is a dagger. > People from both the Town of the Forgotten and the Village of Vo gather to see you off. They stand there: kids clinging to adults that may not be their parents. Jannika stands there, holding Qresk's hand, eyes never leaving Ora's face in an expression of pride. Soma stands beside her, cradling Burpee. Hektor towers over everyone, nodding gravely, but in respect. The druids are circling above the ship in a display of flight that makes the villagers laugh and point. There is a general sense of gratitude, of a new beginning, of an acknowledgement of what you have done. > And some of them, who have been living on the Keep, roll out a black cloth. In the center of the black field is a red circle. And in the center of it is the silhouette of a dragon, and an orcish figure with a great axe extended. > Everyone strikes their breast and then holds four fingers up in a farewell for the four that changed their lives. - [x] Travelling to [[portdamali.jpg]] - 600 miles away: 4.17 days - Day 1 weather: - Day 2 weather: - Day 3 weather: - Day 4 weather: - Day 5 weather: - Saoki gives you the map of [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Port Damali]] ## Secrets and Clues - [x] [[Carbuncles]] change the gem that they're given into a [[Brumestone]] - eventually. - [ ] The form Ora wears is bears a striking resemblance to Jannika's human form-- she has subconsciously created herself in the image of Jannika's human form. - [ ] [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/The Luxon]] is worshipped like a god, but they are multiple entities, more like a network of possibility that is neither good nor bad; it just is. - [ ] [[the Divergence|The Divergence]] split the gods into two camps: the [[Prime Deities]], and [[Betrayer Gods]].
