OOC Conversation

Unless I missed something, I'm not sure the order matters. We aren't trying to play any of them against each other or anything right?

No, the order doesn’t matter, just want to know which one to post about first. :)

Fair enough, let's visit the ladies first then

Aye

@Dmbrainiac Horace currently has a specific piece of magic armor - Breastplate of Command. Can it still be upgraded with better potency and effect runes?

"Unlike armor, weapons, and shields enhanced with runes, specific armor, weapons, and shields (such as moonlit chain, a bloodletting kukri, or a lion's shield) are created for a specific purpose and can work quite differently from other items of their type. These items can’t gain property runes, but you can add or improve their fundamental runes."

Thank you!

In that case, would anyone care terribly if Horace moves that +2 Potency Rune from the armor we found to his existing armor ? :D

Not at all. Go ahead.

Do not mind you taking the rune.

C1NDER is Eldonna related to a character from your Council of Thieves games? Think I can recognize that last name :)

Yes!! She is a relative of Delour Aulamaxa (the one singing the bits between each act of the play)

@Dmbrainiac Following our trip to bring back Oriole, can we say Horace had time to transfer the +2 Potency rune from the armor we were gifted to his own armor?

Yes, you can transfer the rune.

Excellent! TY. We'll move his existing +1 potency rune to the armor for selling purposes as well.

Who's next?

A reminder of the remaining patrons:


Davlu Bernai: The inexorable Davlu Bernai, head of the Bernai Silver Company, is a notable philanthropist who runs a charity dedicated to "improving the morals of Kintargo’s downtrodden" and often sponsors performances she deems "uplifting." Although her charity does provide aid, her definitions of "appropriate morals" are rather restrictive, and she’s quick to turn her gimlet glare on anyone who suggests she should be more flexible.

Ivran Xerysis: Born in Westcrown, Lord Ivran Xerysis relocated to Kintargo to look after his family’s holdings in the city shortly after the Silver Ravens’ revolution resulted in Ravounel’s independence. Now a member of the Silver Council, Ivran is wealthy and well-connected, and although Kintargan gossip holds that he has the humor of an undertaker and the charm of a wooden post, he’s known to donate to artistic endeavors that catch his interest.

Ricovial Cebarinne: Opera divas tend to be outsized personalities, and Ricovial Cebarinne proves no exception. During his career, the mercurial tenor was known for being a perfectionist. His rivalry with Oriole was legendary, and sparks often flew between them—not all of them antagonistic, though the two never fully struck up a romance. When Oriole retired, Ricovial was very publicly scathing about them "giving up," even though he retired shortly thereafter. Theater gossips hold that his heart wasn’t in it anymore without Oriole to clash against. Now, Ricovial runs a voice training school for aspiring singers out of his lavish estate and dedicates some of his personal fortune toward funding operas he deems worthy of his time.

Tevandis Sastrien: Salmon magnate Tevandis Sastrien is a prominent Kintargan merchant and philanthropist who’s branched out into funding the arts. Recently, inspiration struck him to use his donations to promote his products, and so far he’s funded a salmon-themed series of paintings, salmon sculptures, and even—in a venture with somewhat unsettling results—an interpretive dance about the salmon’s epic migratory journey upriver to spawn.

Vaizeth Ilviak: Though they look the part, Vaizeth Ilviak is an atypical Kuthite. They follow a splinter sect of the faith that holds Zon-Kuthon’s current condition is a result of him martyring himself to save his sister Shelyn from an unnamed great evil. As the orthodox faith of Zon-Kuthon views such beliefs as heretical, Vaizeth fled their homeland of Nidal. They resettled in Kintargo, where they’ve become a patron of the arts. They’re very enthusiastic about "showing a friendlier side of the faith" by engaging in such philanthropy.

Davlu Bernai? Continue with ladies first approach

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, at this point I have no preference for which order we take them, so might as well go top down through the list.

agreed, I don't see any clues that imply completing one will make the others easier (like MegaMan bosses 😄)

Heh, alright, I'll go ahead and do it in order from here on out.

Is it possible to just outrigt lie and say we don't have any naughty scenes and use Deception instead?
