That was certainly the intent, to be safe from the possible monsters in the channel between this island and the one where Angleholm is, but we probably need to either fly at night or get a very early start to beat them there.

Guesclinbert (who is much, much taller than some other goblins he can mention who are nearby, by at least an inch and a bit, nearly an inch and a half, more if he stretches up a bit and stands on his toes more) treats the appearance of the feline ranger with a little disdain. Great, he signals to Vethalia with his ears. A drunkard. Just what we need.
---
As the man falls from the other ship (falls? Or was thrown?) Guesclinbert watches helpless - the man is far too far for him to fly over and catch, and when Talin volunteers to go and check the body, Guesclinbert follows, watching carefully from a height above the flappy fey in case anything approaches him while he is busy with the body. When Talin's work is done, he flies back to the ship alongside him, looking over the ring to see if it has any meaning for him.

The ring has the emblem of The Syndicate and Guesclinbert knows that they are not noble-born, but they wield power equal to dukes and barons because of their monopoly on air travel magic and ship.
Vethalia tells you about Angleholm Monastery where you will arrive by mid day tomorrow.

Falka watches as the events unfold he stays quiet and calm. Lots going on right now.
He decides to spend some time with the helmsman of the ship, and helps with navigation when he can.

Captain Freeman, is concerned about the implications if the dead man is truly a member of the Syndicate, but he insists that its not his business. If you want to act on it once you land, it's your business.
At the break of light, your voyage continues to Angleholm Monastery, and by midday, the island of Angelholm appears on the horizon. The island is small, its lower slopes dedicated to farms and a bustling harbor town, but the real landmark is what rises above it all: the imposing walls and towering spires of the Angelholm Monastery, the famed wizard academy.
As you draw closer, a detail stands out at the monastery's Sky Docks. A grand airship, bearing the distinctive banner of the Syndicate, is already docked. The atmosphere hums with a palpable energy; the monastery is clearly putting on a display for its powerful guests. Flags snap in the wind, students in their finest robes perform coordinated illusions, and a general air of celebration hangs in the air.
Your airship is directed to the farthest dock, a full thirty meters away from the Syndicate flagship. Yet, the distance doesn't matter. Your arrival has been noticed. The eyes of several guards from both the monastery and the Syndicate are already fixed on your ship.
A woman in a purple robe walks with determination towards the Skydocks. Captain Freeman is in a rush to get the gangplank down and meets with the woman.
This is the client that you were hunting the Magnitite Beast for.

Talin will talk to whoever shares his concerns about possible entanglement with the Synidicate. He worries about what the death could mean and is certain that he does not want to reveal what he saw (and that he has the ring) until he sees what the syndicate folk are up to here. While he talks he will happily work on repairing any armor or helping with wounds.

"Mistress Reed." Vethalia says with a grin, "I should have known."
The diminutive goblin nods her head towards the Syndicate yacht docked nearby, "What're they up to today? More negotiations?"

Captain Freeman
Afterwards you will get your share.
There is a fancy dinner at the main hall tonight, and we have a seat at the lower tables. Join if you want, but stay out of trouble.
The harbour town also have some good bars I have been told, and you can pretty much find anything in their markets and shops.
Captain Freeman looks to Cook and Mech. Did I forget anything? He asks them

The head is loaded, and Professor Reed casts a preservation spell over the head and leads their prize back into the academy.
Captain Freeman
There you go. You have earned it. He eyes Falka, and there are unsaid words about not really having earned their coins, but the captain is not going back on his word.
Enjoy the town for a few days, and then check in. I hope I can get us a new assignment in the meantime.

Talin looks to the others. "I want to find out what I can about the Syndicate's business before we go break bread with them. It's a small place, but there will be someone in town who keeps an ear and eye out for the word, so I'm going to start seedy and work my way up. If I take to disguising myself, listen for the word 'driftwood' and it will most likely be me in other visage."
Talin's intent is to see what version of seedy underbelly exists in the lower slopes, then take a room but he'll keep his gear on the ship.

Vethalia heads into the monastery looking for any of her friends so she can catch up on local gossip and find out what the Syndicate is doing here.
Oct 1, 2025 2:07 pm
"You've been here before?" Guesclinbert asks Vethalia. "Anywhere we can sell these weapons and maybe buy ones?"
Guesclinert also tags along with Talin to see what they can learn about the Syndicate.

Harbour town
Talin and Guesclinbert go to the harbour town. Once a pilgrim’s rest, now a hub for book merchants, rare reagents, and adventurers looking to sell fragments of lost runic lore.
There is no mistaking the Bakery that Vethalia talked about. The bakery serves the same function as an inn, but instead of ale, it serves pastries, bread and cheese. Its a highlight for the scholars crowd to fuel all-night debates. The head baker keeps a strict policy: no spellcasting in the ovens after "the incident."
Guesclinbert goes shopping to sell the good equipment they found
1 bag = 10 hands fuld of gold
You have 2 bags each as pay for the magnitite beast
Tier 1 and tier 2 equipment can be found easily enough here in townTalin makes inquiries in town about the events at the Monastery. He quickly learns that the working caste knows very little about how the arcane cast entertains the ruling cast. If he wants to know more about the visit, he has to ask around at the Monastery itself. Not in the harbour town itself.
Monastery
Vethalia feels both at home in her old academy, but also as an outsider, as there are very few known faces. Most of the senior staff are busy with the visiting dignitaries.
The small goblin is almost run over by a drowelf woman, who is rushing into the library.
She does however find a few students that she tutored during her senior year, and they have some fun stories to share
Professor Reed doesn’t actually sleep - she just meditates in her chair, eyes open. Some say she can hear your thoughts if you get too close.
The Syndicate isn’t here for a gala. They’re here to buy half the Monastery’s research. That’s why the Archmage looks like she’s swallowed sour wine
There’s a student who disappeared last year. Everyone says he failed a planar experiment and now he’s stuck inside one of the library books
The Master of Runes doodled a rune into his beer mug last week. It exploded. He pretended it was ‘part of the lesson.’

How many extra weapons did we get that we can sell? I know some people chose weapons from the pile, who didn't, so I can give them money / buy them what they want after selling the ones we have? Also, can I sell my old tier 1 weapon, and if so, how much do I get for that?Oct 1, 2025 3:56 pm

There were 4 tier2 blades, the rest was rusted crap. Selling tier1 equipment gives you 2 handfuls of goldOct 1, 2025 4:30 pm

So, by my reckoning, Talin took the returning blade, so we have three other weapons to sell. Anyone else want me to pick something up for them while I'm here? I'm going to upgrade my Hallowed Axe to Improved Hallowed Axe. Vethalia, you wanted a wand or something, didn't you? Oct 1, 2025 5:50 pm
While Guesclinbert sells the weapons, Talin will check the town for any signs of a black market or other criminal enterprise. If he finds such, he'll try to make contact. If not he'll do a little shopping himself.
OOC:
Talin is a back alley expert, so if there's a criminal enterprise he shoudl be ablt o find it. If he's shopping, he'll sell his gambeson and buy an Improved Gambeson.load next
