Verdant Guild
-
Spent a week in Signpost
-
Guided to the Wild Claw where they can stay indefinitely
-
Met Konnat One-Hand who runs the tavern. Has a servant, Kid, who serves beer/food
-
Grica, Factor of the Sign of One came to meet them, introduced them to the faction. Blair told his story about creating a goat god; she invited him to stay at Dreamhearth
-
During dinner, they met Wolda, who was curious because they had talked with Zofna. Learning that the party wasn't Wylders, he told the split, describing how Aaronatok's ways are useless, and that Karleona's ways are good. He wants the PCs to follow him to Faunel to help hunt down the Vile Hunt. He will return after a week and guide them to Faunel, if they are interested
-
Zofna saw this and explained that the Vile Hunt aren't much of a threat, and that the demons are a bigger threat, and efforts should be spent counteracting them, and stopping the Vile Hunt reactively.
-
WarFire offered help in the kitchen in exchange for brewing beer. Also made a bonfire in the main square
-
Blair met Brica, the blacksmith. In exchange for iron ore, Brica crafted him some special tools: a death dagger and a coin-knife (for cutting purses). Brica is training to join the Sign of One
-
Blair slept at the Dreamhearth, meeting Meuronna, a tabaxi dream hunter. She guided him into the dream. At first Blair dreamt of goats, Meuronna asked about it. She could feel the presence of the Not-A-Goat. Half-awakening, Blair felt a voice in his mind: "You are not safe here" or something to that effect. A second night, Blair dreamt of Stonehell, wandering through the halls where the grey dwarves reside, eventually encountering a regally dressed grey dwarf, who seemed to be able to see him - then he woke up immediately. Meuronna suspects that Sfersutsild now knows of Blair's location. Spending another night there, Blair dreamt of Hell (blocky city with living people impaled on spikes, fire everywhere). The entire town woke up screaming. Blair was kicked out of Dreamhearth.

Ecix spent the week studying to learn Read Magic
-
Gino spent the week studying a fang from the coin-worm in Modnar's cellar (3 doses of giant centipede venom); also ascertained that he mercury-like liquid is probaby just mercury; green slime sponge acts as acid
-
Gokhal set up a brothel in one of the abandoned houses. Grica came as a patron. WarFire served her crude beer
-
Elkin wandered around the forests. Found a maple tree that leads to Karasuthra
After entering Signpost, the party was directed the Wild Claw, run by one Konnat One-Hand, the tavernmaster. His servant, Kid, serves the beer and food.
Shortly after arriving, Grica, came to meet them, and introduced them to the Sign of One. She had a strange appearance, pale white, wrinkly-rolly skin. No animal traits, unlike everyone else. Blair told his story about the Not-A-Goat. Grica became interested, and invited him to stay at Dreamhearth, a large fancy lodge in the middle of the town.
During dinner, they were approached by Wolda, who was curious because they had talked with Zofna. Learning that the party wasn't already members of the Verdant Guild, he asked if they were either interested in joining, or interested in working for them, in order to help hunt down the Vile Hunt. He offered to guide the party to Faunel, where the Vile Hunt are active. He agreed to return in one week (he apparently doesn't like it here in Signpost), at which point he'll guide the party to Faunel, if they're interested.
After Wolda departed, Zofna approached the table again, apparently watching from a corner. Explained that the Vile Hunt aren't much of a threat, and that the demons are a bigger threat, and efforts should be spent counteracting them, and stopping the Vile Hunt reactively. He also explained that this has caused a split in the Verdant Guild, with some people following Karleona (who wants to actively engage the Vile Hunt), and others, like Zofna, following Aaronatok (who wants to protect against worse threats).
The rest of the week in Signpost was variously spent:
-
WarFire offered help in the kitchen in exchange for brewing beer. He also made a bonfire in the main square
-
Blair met Brica, the blacksmith. In exchange for iron ore, Brica crafted him some special tools: a death dagger and a coin-knife (for cutting purses). Brica is training to join the Sign of One
-
Blair slept at the Dreamhearth, meeting [Meuronna], a strange tiger-person, who was referred to as a "dream hunter". She guided him into his dreams. At first Blair dreamt of goats, and upon awakening, Meuronna asked about it. She could feel the presence of the Not-A-Goat. Half-awakening, Blair felt a voice in his mind: "You are not safe here". A second night, Blair dreamt of Stonehell, wandering through the halls where the grey dwarves reside, eventually encountering a regally dressed grey dwarf, who seemed to be able to see him - then he woke up immediately. Meuronna suspects that Sfersutsild now knows of Blair's location. Spending another night there, Blair dreamt of some kind of hell - a(blocky city with living people impaled on spikes, fire everywhere. The entire town woke up screaming. Blair was kicked out of Dreamhearth.
