Advantage on next Dexterity saving throw!!! Don't forget!!

Deputy Officer Junior Officer. Brought us down to talk to Captain Preston in Lorecliff. The Archon's son has been kidnapped. Uh oh. Six years old. Other son is 23 and a little shit, and was in charge when the boy was kidnapped. Evervalian ambassador is in prison.

Tall man with gilded jacket. Pristine sword in sheath. He is the guy from Tyrrus. Emperor Tyr. Two hooded figures following behind him, silently.

Archon has short, dark hair, deep bronze skin, half elf. Her son is similar, with long dark hair in a man bun.

Boy's nanny would know where he was. She says nothing suspicious happened.

Drawings on the desk. Subject of drawings is a little blue bear. MIS/ZHA. Stuffed bear, nowhere to be seen.

Nanny is a gnome. Hair up in a bun. Walks over and we see there is a healing wound on her chin.

Morgan asks what happened to her chin. She faints. Boatie gets in a fight. Oh my lord.

Love letters to Cordelia! Dated within the last season.

Theo finds a special panel in the fireplace. Garment box. No magic. Red cloak with black symbol, of a spear. It's an ORC cloak.

It's the same spear.

Princess Cordelia of Everdale! Oh my!

Now we're in the garden. Rix is climbing through the brambles. Finds a piece of fabric and the blue bear.

We go back to Octavi's room and he's not there.

Bottle of Alchemist Fire, one Potion of Greater Healing.

Aurelius is a powerful Eldritch Knight (Fighter).

Now we have the Archon's seal and proof that we're acting as reps of the FPC. We're bringing the boat into the port and sleeping before we leave in the morning.

Tyr's people are stabbing us!!!!!!

The Boatswain and Captain Morgan discuss boat logistics/hiring

They go look for Trinity to hire her, they settle on 17 gp per week

Rix works on cobbling and Theo helps with the 17 portent

Long rest, 10 and 13 portent

"J" is here at the AGI to meet us

It's Deputy Officer Junior Officer!

He and his FPC colleagues are here to check on the Stalward and how things are going with the war and to lead the peace talks that are coming up in 2 days in Fayble

However there has been a recent development. The Archon's second son has been kidnapped

The Evervalians appear to be behind the kidnapping but it doesn't make sense for them to do that with peace talks imminent

ORC involvement????

DOJO wants us to go to the Stalward with him and help investigate

TB and Morgan get Sending Stones to give to Trinity

DOJO gives me the rundown on who we're going to meet

The Archon keys in on weakness and will lose respect instantly

Aurelius, her first son, who was in charge while she was away and second was kidnapped

Evervalian Ambassador who has been taken into custody, Wiscitt Skope

I look through the notes and the Archon and Aurelius are butting heads. Archon has had two children die in the past

TB and Morgan (who rolled a Nat 20) find Trinity eating octopus balls by the water

They through a Fog Cloud and a Moose Hole distraction they get Trinity out of town toward the boat

We meet up and head to the Stalward to assess the kidnapping situation

We are brought to the war room, big map in the center of the table

A man walks out of the room. Tall and lean, beautiful, gilded jacket epaulets on his shoulder, sheathed sword at his side. Morgan clocks that the sword is familiar to her, Tyr is his name. He is an ass

The Archon and who appears to be her son are here

I convince her that it may not be the ambassador and convince her to let us interview and search the premises

Tyr is here because they are Crystalia's greatest ally

We investigate the kid's room first

Not likely someone climbed through the window

Golden Crystalian cufflink under the bed

Drawings on the desk all have a blue bear in them (Misha)

The stuffed bear isn't here!

The nanny is brought to us, a gnomish woman with a bun, wound on her chin that is healing

TB sees movement out of the corner of his eye and pounces for it, whatever it is gets away

A bit of a scuffle at lunch between Morgan, TB and the shithead son

Boaty and the son are in jail

Morgan comes and tells us what happened

There is a coat that has a cufflink missing that matches the one we found

Love letters to Cordelia in the secret drawer of the son's desk

We find an ORC cloak with a spear on it hidden in his fireplace

TB in a prison cell about to be crushed

Some if not all of the guards are ORC guards

We blow up Aurelius' spot to the Archon

Her entire worldview is shattered

Aurelius' ship was heading north towards the northreach

We go investigate the garden to see if Octavi is there

Morgan casts see invisibility and Morgan's wild magic makes her dirty af

We find the kid's bear in the garden

Find a few potions in Aurelus' room

Alchemist's Fire

Potion of Greater Healing

We decide to go to the peace talks

Archon gives us her seal and DOJO gives us a letter showing we are acting on behalf of the FPC

We head back to the boat and bring it to port

We all go rest in our respective places, we get stabbed before we can get a rest
