session summary 2026-10-25
most of this session was spent doing character creation, so there's not much story wise to share.
Fannahd's diary
We arrived in Gosterwick today, and I cherish the joy I felt upon finally walking through its gate. First thing I did was acquire a mule so I could get this damn rope off my pack. Leena and me stocked up and Tynos went off on his own. Came back without his armor but with considerably more silver than he started with.
We secured lodging at the Yellow Cloak, a modest establishment. I wonder what Leena and Tynos make of sleeping in a common room with all us lowly folk instead of upstairs in the nicer common room or at the flouncy lodge in the temple district. I'm happy enough to be dry and warm.
I beat a carpenter at dice, but let her win her coin back so I could learn some about the ruins. Compared notes with Leena and Tynos before bedding down. They heard some interesting stories too.
- There's a series of natural caves near Set's temple where Archmage Kentillion the Magnificent had her secret compound. She was obsessed with finding the ebon sphere, which she was convinced was the same thing as the sphere of arden.
- There's a kind of creature that uses telepathy to control other creatures.
- Thoth's Beloved are buried in catacombs under the temple of Thoth, and are guarded by Thoth himself.
- The Sodality of the Fist recruits people to fight in unarmed arena duels in the ruins.
Tomorrow Tynos and I head for the mesa. Leena will follow up on some leads here in the town.
