# [[038_202109019 Seduction at the Moonlight Chateau]] ## [[Session Summary]]: > [!abstract] [[038_202109019 Seduction at the Moonlight Chateau]] > In Verdant Ventures, you bought a few things from the affable Heymat Sol, whom you set to work creating rings that would protect against charms and fear from certain types of creatures. You also paid him to enchant a special javelin for Boris that would return upon being thrown. You then went to buy some rations and rope from Luna at The Wailing Weasel, and also sold her some gems and ambergris. > > We eventually made our way to the Charred Circus, where we met Lira's friend, who turned out to be a drow man with a heart for mischief. When we told him that we were looking for Dr. Perriweather, he went along with Ora's plan to get some information on him by seducing him at the Moonlight Chateau. With their twin act and some high dexterity rolls, they secured a job for the night. > > When Boris went to Hek's Pecs, he found a sad Elanza at the almost empty shop, fearful for Hektor's sudden disappearance. Boris gave her some money to talk to Hektor, who offered to continue Elanza's apprenticeship at Rumblecusp. Elanza seemed excited at the opportunity, but wanted to talk it over with her brother. > > Later that night, Ora and "Ari" headed off to the Moonlight Chateau and had no trouble seducing Dr. Waldorf Perriweather. After some spirited work, he was eager to talk, and the "twins" learned that he is not happy with how the Clovis Concord has been restricting his movement due to the war. He chafes under the tyranny of the Concord, and just wants to be able to go where he pleases. > > As Dr. Perriweather left, he passed by Boris, who recognized him as the halfling man from Palma Flora whom the party had dropped off in Port Damali. ^summary --- ## Housekeeping ## Recap ![[037_20210911 Leaving Rumblecusp#^summary]] ## Strong start > You're in Verdant Ventures. It's a small shop, and you would guess it takes its name from the rows and rows of various types of greenery growing from bottles on the shelves and hung from the wall. When you enter, you see shelves in front of you and behind you, a desk in the left corner that you see holds some armor and more plants, and then on the right, you see a long counter and a door behind that. > Behind the counter is the firbolg [[Heymat Sol]], smiling up at you. He has light blue skin, a big nose, and short, curly hair. His ears are a little floppy, extend a bit towards the side, and one of them has two rings through it. He's wearing fine robes: presentable and very decent, but nothing extravagant. ## Scenes - [x] Shop at [[Verdant Ventures]] - [x] Meet [[Aro|Aro]] - [x] Talk to [[Doctor Waldorf Perriweather]]: [[Heist of the Black Viper]] - [ ] Research at the Cobalt Soul - [ ] [[Adanor]], the Cobalt Serpent, trails Ora and watches her. If he gets her alone, he will attempt to fight her. Otherwise, he will deliver her a message and leave: _We have a common acquaintance, who might have been right about you. Maybe you're not too old to be trained. Maybe the doors of [[Cobalt Soul]] could open for you._ And he'll give her a small coin with the symbol of the Cobalt Soul. ## Secrets and Clues - [ ] [[Silva]] is part of [[Cobalt Soul|the Cobalt Soul]]. She is the Cobalt Displacer, and has sent a message to see if the Cobalt Soul can get Ora the help she needs to understand her abilities. - [ ] Perriweather and Touchard are both members of The Myriad, but there's always a bit of rivalry there that Perriweather resents, since Touchard always comes out on top.
