Session 14 - One temple to rule them all, one temple to find them...

The session started with a discussion about what magical tattoos we could get that would benefit the entirety of the party. Zunigri raised a good point about keeping some money at hand in case we for example had to buy rations for a long period of time, so we decided to only purchase 2 tattoos instead of 3. After spending the day fishing and salting the spoils of Marxiros's previous haul (turning it into 20 rations), night arrived and we headed to the tattoo parlor. We spoke to the tattoo lady and took the opportunity to ask a couple of questions about the tattoos, upon which we learned that: The tattoos we chose were Sending Stones between Siveril and Marxiros, and a Stone of Good Luck for Louie. The sending stones will be very beneficial for stealth missions or simple party communications. The luckstone is simply an all-round upgrade for Louie.
 * A tattoo can be suppressed in a field of anti-magic, or for 10 minutes by dispel magic.
 * A tattoo is attuned automatically to the wearer.
 * Should a tattoo be removed, the wearer suffers a permanent -1 to their constitution score.

After a day of recovering, Siveril, Marxiros, Saphire, and Louie set out to investigate "Nelebekus", the elven contact who traded with the witches in the swamp. On their way to the tower, they noticed the familiar face of Brutus heading away from their destination. The tower itself didn't contain any clues (other than a terrified dock worker), so instead they suspected that Brutus may be involved. This suspicion is far from certainty, as the only leads we have is that he happened to be the only familiar face and heading away from a suspicious destination. Regardless, we informed Lee about this suspicious so that he may keep an eye out.

As we were trying to track down Brutus, Siveril and Saphire ran into Cristyn. She told them about the unrest in the refugee camps and pleaded with us to help. Her request aligned with our already established intentions, so after speaking to Lee we sought out Laurabec. We learned that Laurabec was a member of the Aquiline Cross. She told us that the refugee camps were almost complete chaos. Random fights were breaking out and all the religious leaders were aggressively recruiting new members. Laurabec wants to bring some form of unity to the 8 different major Religions and we talked about unifying them at a single central point (temple?) of worship. We decided to speak with each religious leader and ask what they wanted. Instead of just sending the most charismatic person to speak to each religion, we decided that we might have more luck if we showed respect to their religions by sending a like-minded person. Thus, with the aid of Laurabec's knowledge of their religions, we paired each party member to at least 1 religion that most fit their personality and area of expertise. The session ended as we were heading out of Laurabec's tent.
