Session 188

In which our heroes ...

Orhan 5 Day 12 TE 6062

Oathar hires Alandra Kaine to be a scout guide thing for him.

The party visits Miz Vandaro, the master architect to investigate his prices and style for our grand Colosseum in Santa Vallandra.

Alynna gives her doobie a PPM and asigns her as protecctor of Alynna's sister in law. Imre shops.

We get a tour of Miz Vandaro's works. He's pretty good.

The party decides to sponsor a chair in the Bassilica of Kuor.

Oathar and Arisia (and others) attend mass at the Bassilica where it's who's who in politics. The goldsmiths guild master makes sure Oathar isn't moving in on the silversmiths guild. Cirius Tamanger invites Arisia and Oathar back to his place. Kyrik gets cornered by the Rahkani ambassador who gives him a message for Alynna. Haeraan gets cornered by the other paladins who all talk shop.

Kyrik hears that the Zorian orcs are organized and attacking more. They are lead by the "scarred one" a creature the lugraki consider hideously ugly.

Alynna's letter from Rakhan, "Dearest Alynna, Oh how I've missed you. etc. etc. The shrew has him under constant survielance. etc. etc. Come visit soon, but make sure you take the secret way in. -Jer-Jer"

Alynna has Kyrik take a little series of "photos" of herself for sending to the Emporer of Rakhan.

Oathar, Imre and co. set up a meeting with master Vandaro to discuss terms, after he considers our grand vision for a few days.

There's a note to Alynna from Veriak to go see him. The daughter of her brother can be brought to this world, provided the brother and daughter both outlived the good brother. Or, the good and evil brother could switch places. But this requires convincing one to cross over. Perhaps just switching their souls would do.

Haeraan considers organizing a crusade against the Ardanian necromancer dude ranch, but has difficulties getting the church to commit. They'll send more adventuring parties to scout out since their Eyes in the area never returned.

We go to see the Master. He staring at a blank white piece of paper.

After probing our minds looking for inspiration, he sketches out a massive horseshoe shaped place with dual grand collonades on the outside, and entrances at ground level. It then goes down into the bowl of the ampitheatre. Behind is a classical arches all along the back. Down along the sides is a great swooping marble representation of the winds. The seats gleam in the light. The stage will be a creation! A pit that can be filled with wather and have lifts in the middle and scafolding along the sides for swooping in.

Imre start messing with his vibe though. Luckily, he blends well with Miz. So they figure out how to make their dreams come true. Imre adds an imperial box to the design.

Oathar broaches the indiscreet topic of money, and tries to get an estimate from the architect. He finally quotes us a number of 10,000-12,000 gold. We get a model of the amiptheatre for showing off at the festival.

Imre gets Miz to think about the crazy madness that will be the palace. We're going to need more money.

Orhan 5 Day 20 TE 6062

Alynna sends back her "letter" to the Emporer. Be sure it goes into the Emporer's hands personally.

Orhan 5 Day 22 TE 6062

Festival Barony Day! We have a festival. Wine and food flow. The crowd is mellow. Baron James gets up to make his speech. He succeeds, and the crowd goes wild! There is no morale penalty for changing leaders! Everyone loves us. Hooray for James! Hooray for the Colosseum!

Orhan 5 Day 23 TE 6062

Imre collects his Xenium and hides it in a secret grotto in the mountains.

Orhan 5 Day 24 TE 6062

Oathar and Arisia go to Taminger's. What do they have today? Ooh, they have a very rare full length strand black pearl necklace. Oathar enjoys the wine and cheese. Then he spends 2500 gold on a necklace.

Oathar buys Moonglow Silver, and they sell at a foolishly low price and seem to want to get out of the business. It's very strange. Imre approaches with a dinner invitation Kyse Pharnese (and his fiancee) to figure out what is going on.

Orhan 5 Day 24 TE 6062

He comes over. Kyse has heard that some of the older family have taken notice of Oathar's rise and are a little wary of it. The head of the Silversmiths, Tomuk ,was visiting house Alaxatan yesterday. They support his bid to stay head of the guild. There are ripple of potential problems coming down the line for silversmiths. Hrm....
