The Sea Dragons return, fresh from their party at the Giggling Ghost. The last vestiges of the Bonetown party are still going on, for those who wish to continue to partake. For the rest, there is Portside House and some well-deserved rest.
Tomorrow, you need to decide about your castle or ship. And what you're going to do with the Freeman's Token.

Tahni is more than happy to get some quiet time away from the crowds. It has been a very big day and right now she wants a chance to unwind in private.
She finds a big comfy chair in the house and slumps down into it.

Fang goes to the house and crashes. Probably on a couch or something since she hasn't been asigned a bet yet.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Monday June 3rd, 2019 12:15:30 PM
Rill is glad to be back in familiar environs.
He will lay out the most recent treasure items for the others to ponder. (Please see my email on this subject.) "There are only a few items, but some of of great value."
He also pulls out the Freeman's Token and passes it around. "Anyone know what this thing does or how you use it?"
(MikeK)Bralin (AC37 T16 F32, HP 191/191) Monday June 3rd, 2019 6:55:00 PM
Bralin returns, and breathes a sigh as the pressures of socializing are removed.
"This Dragonning takes much effort," he observes.
The dwarf has made a claim on the amulet. As to Rill's other question, he can only shake his head.
"Mayhap a divination?" he suggests.
DM Kathy Monday June 3rd, 2019 11:10:20 PM
You return to Portside House, glad for a chance to stop celebrating and get some rest. Fang falls asleep almost immediately. Tahni slumps into a chair--not quite asleep yet, but clearly not intending to go anywhere.
Rill has questions about the loot you found, especially the Freeman's Token. What should you do with it? Bralin suggests a divination of some kind.
But whatever you want to do can probably wait until tomorrow, when everyone is rested and ready to give the matter some thought. Your sleep that night is undisturbed. It is raining when you awaken.

It seems like we were able to take it from the guild hall. Perhaps because there was no one left for it to protect. Or maybe we have to recharge it somehow.
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Tuesday June 4th, 2019 5:38:25 AM "If everyone is ok to chance it, I can try to blindly activate it. Still.. best to err on the side of caution."
Assuming that Maab has departed Bonetown, Tahni casts a Divination spell, calling on her immortal power for advice. Fortunately that would be Maab - the one who asked them to retrieve the token in the first place.
The question is a simple one: "What would you have us do with the token now?"
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Tuesday June 4th, 2019 8:25:57 AM
Fang has nothing much to offer about the artifact. She's not really sure what it's supposed to do and not really qualified for figuring it out. Something about it protecting artisans? Who knows how it does so or how to activate it. Instead she goes about getting a proper bath; magic is great, but bathing after battle is a ritual she enjoys to much to skip.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 d20+16=29 ; d100=49 ; Tuesday June 4th, 2019 11:58:04 AM
Rill looks at the Freeman's Token.
"Hopefully, Tahni will be able to get advice from Maab and that will be enough.
"As a back up, there are a few divinations I can try as well. And if those fail, I can always cast Commune and play the yes or no game of questions."
He casts Detect Magic, attempting to determine it's magical properties. (Spellcraft roll is 29, which would identify an item with a Caster Level up to 14th level. Unless it's an artifact, which it probably is.)
He casts Divination, asking "How do we use the Freeman's Token to end slavery?" (Rolled 49 - success!)

Aex returns from the Giggling ghost. It wasn't the biggest party but at least she had a good time. Back at home she retreats into her chambers and starts working on her potions...
DM Kathy Tuesday June 4th, 2019 11:30:20 PM Aexana returns from the party and goes immediately to work on potions. Fang heads off to take a bath.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group turns their attention to the Freeman's Token and how best to use it. Terser suggests a basic Identify spell, but Tahni and Rill opt for Divination.
Tahni's reply is: Sink it beneath the waves of the Middle Sea, that all may be made free by its power.
Rill's reply is: The Token does not have the power to end all slavery everywhere. Centrally placed, it can end slavery in a particular region.

"I mean, we could just throw it into the harbor now but I'm thinking we want to put it where noone is watching"
"Perhaps we should take a chance to resupply and recuperate before heading out again?"
There are a number of things Tahni would like to take care of before seeking adventure again. Shopping, training, and fitting in a little crafting.

Fang finishes her bath and follows up with the care and examination of her weapon and armor. It's magic, so doesn't really need it like her gear when she first started, but she enjoys the process when she has time. Besides, one of these days she might have to use non-magic gear and the practice is good.
(Brock) Jozhur AC27 / Touch 18 Flat 19--CMD 30--HP 159/159 --Shadow Companion 79/79hp Wednesday June 5th, 2019 9:53:44 PM
Jozhur returns from the party, thoroughly exhausted. "Never thought I'd want to leave a party to sleep, first time for everything I suppose. How about we set sail tomorrow?"
DM Kathy Wednesday June 5th, 2019 11:43:48 PM
Based on her Divination, Tahni believes the group needs to set sail--possibly after re-provisioning.
Fang checks over her gear.
Jozhur at last returns, having partied all night! He suggests putting off the voyage until tomorrow.
Eventually, a group of you go to check on the Lionfish. True to form, the ever-efficient Tula has the ship mostly re-provisioned already. You could sail today if you liked. Or, you could give Jozhur's aching head a break and put it off until tomorrow. There's no real hurry. The Wold isn't in jeopardy or anything. Yet.

"Hey Tula. How would you feel about runnning a bigger ship and crew?"
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Thursday June 6th, 2019 2:11:21 AM "I will make a run to the Catacombs and sell this loot."

Tahni looks out over the bay "Do you think we'll be ready to depart tomorrow? What sort of Dragon duties do we have to do around here first?"
Judging by her tone you get the impression she isn't in a hurry to get moving again.

From Aex's room you can hear a lot of curses following by the sound of wooden flasks being thrown around the room. Looks like she won't be carrying many potions on the next challenges ahead.
Leafy is outside his roots into the rich backyard soil.
(just a post while I upgrade sheet and get ready for the next adventure :-) )

Fang gets into a debate about loot with various party members. She's not entirely show how it works with this group and wants to be on the same page as everyone else.
Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Thursday June 6th, 2019 9:29:51 PM
Rill waits patiently at the Catacombs
DM Kathy Thursday June 6th, 2019 11:41:07 PM Terser asks Tula how she'd like running a larger ship. "I'd hate to leave the Lionfish," she replies, "but a bigger ship could be exciting."
Tahni asks if you could depart tomorrow. "We could depart today, if you like," Tula says. "Or tomorrow, if you'd prefer."
After clearing up a few of the finer points of loot distribution with Fang, Rill heads for the Catacombs.
Meanwhile, Aexana is having a bad day of potion-making. Jozhur continues to rest up. Bralin remains close by, but oddly silent.
The next day, you set sail. You decide to drop the token out of sight of both Bonetown and Rum, outside the normal shipping routes. It doesn't take long to find a suitable spot, and soon you are able to sink the Freeman's Token beneath the waves as Maab suggested. Using various means, some of you accompany the token to the bottom, to ensure that it has a good resting place and isn't likely to go anywhere.
You return to Bonetown the day after you set sail, having encountered no pirates, or evil cultists, or eldritch gods, or even a single solitary kraken. It's a refreshing change.

Jozhur enjoys being back on the Lionfish. He's getting rather used to sailing. He enjoys the salty breeze and the sun beating down. "Impressive. An uneventful voyage for once."
RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Friday June 7th, 2019 10:21:16 AM "Well.... so far" Tahni grins to Jozhur. There's no telling what is in store for the party.
"I wonder if there is a way for us to know if the token is working?"
Terser (Warren) [AC22/13/19 - CMD 30 - HP 230/230, DR 3/-, Regen 1, Mind Blank] (25% no crit, rage 29/39, channel 5/7) Friday June 7th, 2019 2:49:09 PM Yes, it's an odd feeling. Quiet.
Do we even know the limits of the token? We should test out some manacles. And can you hit me with a Hold Person spell? How nuanced is the token?
Fang (Mitch) HP: 144/177 (152rage) AC: 30/20/25 (-2 while raging, +1 while hasted) DR 1 CMD: 22 Spell List Friday June 7th, 2019 3:10:45 PM
Fang is totally useless as far as sailing and her attempts to learn don’t go very well. She does help Terser with his test, chaining him up and solemnly proclaiming, ”I hearby enslave you in the name of evilness. And stuff.”

RobC - Tahni Wyrmrider -- AC 22/13/19 -- CMD 20 -- HP 154+9Temp/154 -- See Invis,ArcaneSight,DarkVision Friday June 7th, 2019 9:20:51 PM
Did Terser just give Tahni permission to cast a spell on him?
"Well, the token is supposed to help put an end to slavery. A Hold Person spell might not exactly count. But since you want to test it I suppose I should relent and cast something on you. Purely for testing purposes of course"
Tahni will not-so-reluctantly cast a Dominate Person spell on Terser.
Hmm... what to do, what to do. So many choices. Best to keep it to something that won't embarrass him too much. Still, it should be a little bit of fun.

Rill (MarkB) HP 148/154 - AC 30/17/28 - CMD 25 Saturday June 8th, 2019 11:33:44 AM
Rill returns from the Catacombs.
"OK, here's what we got:
Jozhur - gets 78,300 GP Rillett - gets 23,950 GP plus Scarab of Protection, Breastplate +4 Aexana - gets 78,300 GP Terser - OWES 11,700 GP, but has a Mantle of Spell Resistance Tahni - gets 78,300 GP Bralin - gets 60,300 GP plus Amulet of Natural Armor +3 Fang - OWES 33,700, but gets a Belt of Physical Perfection +6
Fang, this includes sales of your other belt. As we discussed Fang will just repay this out of her next bunch of cash."
(StevenVdB) Aexana Gnome (S) HP166/158 - AC29/21/24 - CMD 26 Sunday June 9th, 2019 3:42:40 PM
After some time Aex finally emerges from her room with a huge pile of broken and rotten Lifewood Flasks.
"Well... don't get bruised too often friends... What's our next heading?!?"
