Fetch counted his coinage, as he often did the closer his purse got to empty, before leaving the the room to start the day.

He wasn't sure who was still around under the piles of skins and blankets or might remain in their adjoined room, but he spoke up for anyone that might hear him,

"If anyone would like additional hands or company for their errands, I gladly make myself available. At some point I'll try to make my way to finding at least a few additional torches and whatever rations I can afford myself."

Fetch thinks about taking a seat in the tavern but decides to clean and inspect his equipment in the daylight, having a seat out in front of the inn.

Thea is greeted once again by Jaxik at the Wizard's Guild. She is escorted to the back room where she is instructed in the secrets of Omnipotent Eye.

OOC: Thea now knows Omnipotent Eye and was charged 500 gp.

After giving thanks to Jaxik, Thea will return to the others, and find out when Melissa and Odhran would like to try to learn the spell from her.

OOC: Odhran will be willing to learn it at any time.
Probably best to do it before we leave.

INT: 20
19:04, Today: Odhran rolled 9 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system ((3 & 6)).

Total: 29

Slattery purchases some scale armor while in town.

Try as she might, Melissa just can't quite grasp the intricacies of the spell Thea is trying to teach her. Maybe she should have drunk less wine last night...

OOC 10:35, Today: Melissa rolled 6 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Learn Omnipotent Eye.

Odhran easily learns Omnipotent Eye from Thea (18 AP), but Melissa fails to get the knack of it (12 AP). She still has a chance to learn it from Odhran now, however.

Slattery finds a nice suit of scale armor for 80 gp from Bron Arvo's Armory.

The next day, Thea makes her way over to the Red Earth Leatherworks on the edge of town.  While there, she will get fitted for a suit of leather armor, as well as a pair of calf-high boots.

Even with Odhran's patient explanations, Melissa still fails to master the spell.

16:42, Today: Melissa rolled 6 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.
The random die roller really doesnt like me.

"Nice armour, toots." Melissa comments as Thea returns in her new outfit. "So, are we ready to go yet?"

OOC Melissa is rather aware of the deal they sort of made with a demon and doesnt want to lounge around :)

"It looks like we have rations, shiny new equipment, and new spells," Odhran said.  "Looks like it is time to head back."

OOC: Did we decide on two-weeks of rations?  I don't remember.

OOC: Thea never did try to lern Poor Baby from Odhran.  Let's remedy that.

19:38, Today: Thea Schreiber rolled 8 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Trying to learn Poor Baby from Odhran.

OOC: Closer, but no magical cigar.

Thea purchases a suit of leather armor and calf high boots (55 gp total), and feels much safer. Delving in just ones robes is risky business.

Melissa sits with Odhran who tries to teach her Omnipotent Eye, but the spell is sadly just too complex for her (12 AP).

Next, Thea attempts to learn Poor Baby from Odhran, but once again cannot grasp it (16 AP).

OOC: This is why the Guild can charge so much for spells.

The next day, Thea will return once again to the Wizards' Guild, paying Jaxik to teach her the Glue You spell.

Jaxik is overjoyed to see Thea once again and eagerly accepts her coin to teach her Glue You.

OOC: Thea now knows Glue You. I've deducted 500 gp from the party funds. 778 gp remains.

Once done, Thea gives her thanks to Jaxik, and after grabbing a bite to eat, returns to their room at the inn.  She will as the day progresses, she will schedule time with Odhran and Melissa to teach each of them the spell she had just learned.

OOC: 22:09, Today: Odhran rolled 8 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Learning Spell.  INT = 21.

Predictably, Melissa fails completely to learn the spell from Thea.

OOC 17:14, Today: Melissa rolled 7 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Learning GlueYou.

If we're spending an extra day or two with Thea learning spell and attempting to teach us, does that mean Slattery gets another go to attempt to learn TTYF from us?

OOC: I think he's tried from all three of you, and failed.

OOC: any other spells you want to try to learn?  We can try to cram as many in your Roguish brain as we can.

Odhran and Melissa work with Thea and attempt to learn Glue You. Odhran succeeds (16 AP), but Melissa does not (14 AP).

Slattery spends some time trying to learn Vorpal Blade.

OOC: 00:38, Today: Slattery rolled 9 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Learn Vorpal Blade, IQ 12.

Confident after his success with Vorpal Blade, Slattery tries to learn the more complex Oh There It Is.

17:23, Today: Slattery rolled 19 with the Tunnels & Trolls, Saving Throws system.  Learn Oh There It Is (IQ 12).

Surprisingly, that worked.

Slattery buckles down and manages to learn Vorpal Blade and Oh There It Is (28 AP total).

You all visit Crunge's General Store and procure provisions and equipment for your next expedition including 7 days provisions per person, 10 torches, and 2 flasks of lantern oil. You pay Crunge 56 gp for these supplies.

OOC: Character sheets have been updated. I spread out the torches and oil among different characters. Please review you sheets and let me know if anything needs updating. I'll assume the remainder of the group funds goes into the Bank of Dunnold.

Melissa climbs groggily from her hammock high in the rafters, shakes her wings out and flies labouriously down to the dresser in the room she shares with Thea. Of the previous night all she can remember is someone betting her she couldnt drink her own weight in mead. It feels like she won the bet.
She breifly considers waking the other woman but decides against it. Humans can be so damn loud.
Instead she climbs on the edge of the washing bowl, takes off her clothes and belly flops into the cold water.
Emerging a few minutes later, her senses restored and hangover much reduced she magics a candle into life and dries herself in its weak heat.

"I think," she says as Thea wakes up "We'd better head back to the dungeon before we drink all our money away. Or at least I do."
