#SessionNote ## Lootpalooza Getting right back into it after the fight, you set about looting everything you can while exploring the rest of the dungeon. Waterskins and 3 kegs of [[Kobold Boomdust]] are obtained and [[Miralith Stormhoof|Miralith]] grabs some notes and sketches of the defeated XORN. [[Jacob Hargrave|Jacob]] grabs some vials of acid. Further exploration doesn't yield a whole lot of extra information. But [[Cadoperious (Caddy) Shortstout|Caddy]] manages to find an Elemental Volatile Mote of Earth (magical crafting component). [[Janis Hoplin|Janis]] hears a voice in her head that says "We're watching." Upon exiting the dungeon, with Janis nearly eating shit on a trap right there at the exit, [[Bogbolz]] greats the party and the debrief commences. The treasure is accounted for and the party is awarded 1,640 GP worth and a note confirming the job was completed written by BogBolz that says: They did the thing. You're offered a discount from the Frockit Clan on any future dungeon needs you may have. Caddy also receives a miner's hat with the Frockit Clan logo on the side. There's been a theory floating amongst you about the definition of a tavern being loose enough to turn any room into one for you to be able to [[Port Ale]] back to The [[Loot Tavern]]... but you haven't tested it till now. [[Lyta of the Embereye|Lyta]] offers Bogbolz silver for a cup of dirty ass water that is warmer than it should be. A couple of tense moments reveal that the teleport was successful. ## Back to the Tavern Again Lyta is the first back and notices a planet the tavern is moving away from. A lush planet with several different biomes and the largest tree in the center landmass you've ever seen. Not too far from that tree is a section of the world that seems to be on fire. Entering the tavern you notice [[The Loose Change]] is back and as you enter there is indeed a [[Heliana]] chatting at the bar with [[Lutecia]] and another being you learn is [[Humperdink]], a fellow Guild master. You also notice an roving vendor stand with a marque that reads: Azrael's Amazing Apples. You chat with Heliana and are introduced to Humperdink shortly after she praises you for taking the goblin's contract and admonishing other teams for being racist. You try and place what kith Humperdink is but can't quite place it. You get Vampire vibes but he's clearly not. You see his pointy teeth and ears and it'd be easy to assume Vampire. You learn he runs a burlesque show on the stage near the tavern. Janis asks Heliana if someone from the guild is responsible for the fire on the planet you saw. We, in fact, did not start the fire. She goes on to say while she's not sure what all is going on down there, she's heard there is a group of adventurers looking into it. Conversation over, you head your way over to the dining area where the [[Cacophonics]] are quietly playing. You notice the lead singer bow off the stage and quickly rush over to the bar to hushed-ly converse with Heliana and Lut. Jacob goes over to the kitchen door to try and learn something but is rebuffed as not being ready despite having made an amazing charcuterie board. Caddy talks about leaving a Yell Review (because the food is so good you want to yell) for Jacob's food in hopes to help get him noticed. Jacob flips one of the scy-screens to Avernus Kitchen to watch Gerden Ramsfeld. [[4-1-b]] comes by to take orders. Jacob gets him a Dirty Shirley and Janis orders a cockatrice-caeser-salad. Orders entered, you notice the Cacophonics lead singer rushing back to the stage to talk with band. He then turns around to the mic to congratulate Team Menagerie on the completion of their contract with a song: ``` Down in The Low where our wanderers go The lair of Francis Stein There’s a treasure trove the goblins tried To move it all in time No one could know that hiding below The acid was biding time And the motherload would ooze its way Up to the pool side Shining gifts it couldn’t resist But it learned to resist attack So be sure to keep a careful eye And navigate the traps The wanderers knew defeating the ooze Would not be an easy feat But the treasure promised with success Makes the victory ever sweet ``` You all sit and have a conversation about Jacob's constant accent changes. He explains that he essentially just says the words the way he heard the words. Caddy draws the parallel to a Kenku. Jacob talks about the confusing way he learned that Bullocks has several meanings based on the context. He learned that from Mortimer. It's in this conversation we learn about Harold and how he takes care of Jacob. Harold is a carved wooden owlbear figurine that found Jacob. Harold tells Jacob things... unspeakable things. ## Goodnight and Good Luck Caddy and Lyta retire for the night. Jacob enjoys the band and some more drinks before calling it a night. Miralith listens to idle conversations and hangs out while Janis approaches the [[Roving Vendors|roving vendor stand]]. You've seen a hundred different produce stands. This one looks no different than any of then. Baskets of apples, shop name placard... all pretty normal. The only thing different from this one is the small beach-ball sized storm cloud sitting behind the banner just out of site and a bell on the counter with a sign that reads: "Ring for service." Janis rings the bell and a bolt of lightning shoots out from the cloud to the floor and from the bolt emerges an Azza Gremlin. ![[Azrael_img.png]] Azrael offers Janis and Miralith his apples at 10 gold a piece. Which is pretty high for an apple. But he seems to think they're worth it. When the money is exchanged, he thanks them and BAM another bolt of lightning flashes and he's gone. Janis takes it over to Lut to see if she knows anything about them. She just says they help you feel better. Miralith goes and buys one. Then Janis buys two more and tries to haggle for a free one. Everyone retires for the night. Caddy spends some time building stuff and things. Janis is visited in her dreams by The Watchers in a lighthouse overlooking a pleasant cove. The figure identifies himself as a Watcher. He tells her some of them do not think she's ready. But if she wishes, she can take the oath and gain power from them. ## Breakfast with a side of mech Everyone wakes up and gathers at the table. Caddy emerges from the living quarters driving the rig he created overnight. ![[FRMR_IMG.png|400]] FRMR (Fortified Recon Martial Rig), a large construct built and piloted by Caddy, has entered the chat! FRMR, turning many heads, is the subject of the next few minutes of that conversation until [[L’Arsène]] pops down to gush over Caddy's creation. He remarks it at impressive and offers his shop and help in any way he can on his path in Artifice. You peruse the job board again and settle on Dread and Breakfast being your next course of action. ## Trivia How many Temporary Hitpoints did Caddy get when he took a bite of Azrael's Amazing Apples.
