Act Three, Chapter 6.5 - Downtime activities

Berrick

Spends time learning new spells and taking a copy of his spellbook.

Cade

Research on green dragon -there have been reports in the Wyldlands of a green dragon that has taken up residence of the swamps there.

How prevalent are Deas cultists - very little is known about the cultist, there's spattered history over the last 20 years mentioned about their followers, of note there is no public record of them.

Any organisations the cultist are connected to - very little other contacts, they exploit the undead as their servants.

Anyone trying to stop the cultists - the Devine Pansophical would be hunting these people in specific the Order of the Seal 

What were they trying to summon? Some kind of angelic being, female in appearance.

Lotty

Feeling mentally and physically exhausted from the events in Beinya, Lotty is feeling glad to be home in Sierrona. 

As she takes stock on how much trauma one gnome and endure she tries to keep her focus on Kel for the next few days, making sure he's OK and try to help him deal with any trauma from his experience.

Despite the luxury of their new Villa Lotty spends most of her day time at McFini's shop, making use of the workbenches and supplies but also just enjoying spending time with her family and the heart warming sounds of tinkering tools, hammers on metal and constant gnomish swearing (most of it coming from Lotty as she tries to enchant Cade's staff). Misusing Cade as an errand runner for supplies sending him across town several times for the best prices (and then back again with a note of guild reputation for an extra discount that she forgot to give him the first time) Lotty sets about crafting some improved armour, items and potions for the group. When Cade is busy crafting his scale armour he seems to let Lotty critique his near-perfect technique and even with all this; Lotty notes he still insists on paying her for enchanting a new staff that he uses to protect himself and the group. Silas also insisted on paying Lotty to enchant his armour when it's going to be used to keep him safe. Not being able to fathom why Cade and Silas would think Lotty would want payment for that she concludes her persuasive skills must be improving.

Enjoying her time back at the shop again she spots her first cousin, Uncle Thacker, going about his usual shop deliveries, thinking of how Arnon's involvement with the construct army has sullied the McFini name she used some of the gold from Silas to invest in his delivery services to expand them across the coast in return the good reputation to the McFini name.

Lotty spends an evening or two at ToMorrow's Folly, inviting Layla, Ella and Mira over for drinks and hoping to catch up on the latest town gossip. Noticing Null spending more time in the Folly Lotty tries to keep a distant eye on Null, not wishing to interrupt her process but to make sure she doesn't fleece the customers so much they don't come back.

Gossip - merchant noble named Tarren Evaldis has come in to providence in the absence of the Morrow cartel Evaldis has expanded his wealth considerable and is the most eligible bachelor around town.

There is a growing fighting arena in town that is thriving. LayLa & Remmi are dating and Aunt Ella is doing well & staying sober.



Null

Not able to forget how close the Ashen Company to losing it all, Null spirals a bit upon her return to Sierrona. She isolates herself and spends some time drinking and gambling at "ToMorrow's Folly", where she thankfully comes out on top. Fighting a hangover, she contemplates how she can be better prepared to keep her friends safe next time. She remembers how difficult it was to overcome the magical prowess of the necromancers. She also remembers how powerless she felt when she was under the arcane leash of the tattoo. Null returns to the villa and reconnects with Latharial, apologizing for her absence. She then gets to work learning all she can about how to minimize the efficacy of mages and lay them to waste beneath her blades, so that she never has to feel this way again.

Gains: Mage Slayer feat, 2 flying potions, 4 healing potions.

Silas

Silas purchases some new armour and asks Lotty to craft some enchantments on it. In payment for her work Silas funded both a collection of healing potions for the group and a loan start up for Lotty's business.
