25th Ascending Air
Yay for Sijan!
Jade Wisdom gives a brief rundown of the city's history and recommends a trip to the Sijanese library for information about /ShuZhou.
Phinnae gives the crew shore leave on a rotating basis so as not to leave the yacht un-manned.
The Exalted Trio and their leader, Jade Wisdom, decide to stay within the city for the duration, and resolve to find a cheap hotel for all seven of them. The Jadeborn is concerned by the inauspicious number, but chooses to remain quiet on the matter, for fear of upsetting Savvy.
Once in the city, and with lodgings arranged the party decides to split up. Scarred, Phinnae, Moany and Bitchy head towards the Sijan Archives following directions from the receptionist. Savvy, Jade Wisdom and Feral head towards the library following more directions from the receptionist and during the walk Savvy is treated to an oral lesson on Sijanese craftsmanship, architecture, history and more from the excited Jadeborn.
Phinnae steers the drunken Solar and two girls towards the Archives. They discover them underground in the "Roll of the Dead". They are greeted by a man with grey robes lined with silver cuffs and explain their intent to find information on the Tombs of the Anathema. The man says it may take a while to fulfill their wishes.
Team B on the other hand are enjoying an educational walk through Sijan when they notice the streets become empty and the sound of hoofsteps are heard to be getting sloser at a steady rate. There appears a thin man on a jet-black horse. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat and long, black coat, his skin is unnaturally pale and the veins are clearly visible. Jade Wisdom's Essence fueled sight can see a bleeding aura of darkness surrounding the figure.
The figure slowly rides past, staring silently at the three quite nervous individuals.
Once he has gone, Jade Wisdom breathes a massive sigh of relief and leads the way to the library without further ado or commentary.
The library is underground, and surprisinly is "the Roll of the Dead". Sigh.
The trio spots the quartet and tells of the strange figure in black.
Eventually the grey robed man comes back and says it will take more time to find the information they seek. Jade Wisdom manages to bribe the man to prioritise their request. His generous donation is accepted. The group leaves to go shopping for supplies. They get directions to the underground markets from a ghost that only the Jadeborn could see. He's so awesome!
At the markets Jade Wisdom reflects that he could have been a Quicksilver Falcon he's so successful at finding, haggling and procuring supplies!
Thus passes most of the rest of the day. Savvy wanders around with her followers - Feral (the ex-thief) is a liability... :)
As it gets late, the party notice all mortal inhabitants emptying from the markets. They decide to follow suit. When they arrive at the hotel the receptionist lays salt wards and warns them about the haunted nights of Sijan.
