Forests outside of Tosca'lia
<aside> ✏️ Returned the people we saved, got rewards, then met Anja the rabbit bloodrager. Decided to help Anja stop some people who are impersonating her in order to sell magical steroids. We find their camp in the forest, and attack them.
</aside>
Post battle one of the tents is on fire, and arcane barrels inside are dangerously close to blowing up. Khohros and Yalana attempt to put it out with different spells, but in the end that does little more than trigger the barrels to blow up with different arcane effects. Khohros runs in, throwing the barrels outside and thus allowing Yalana to safely put the remaining fire out.
Inside is some kind of office, with a chest and different.
Red vial of orange red liquid. Has abjuration magic.
Barrels/kegs with some kind of liquid which changes colours regularly. Sai thinks its familiar, something. Khohros tastes a little bit of it and gains 1 STR point and 1 CON point. He is also suddenly able to use the cantrip Shape Water
Sai tries the same and spaces the fuck out.
We go to rest after our enemies have been tied up. Khohros is really amped up. Super awkward convo between Elissa and Fang, elven woman shows up. Dark skinned, black robes, with the eye tattoo. Says we are owed an explanation.
Elissa wakes everyone up, and Khohros stays in the water of the pond where he was sleeping. Yalana uses lesser restoration on Sai, so that he can be coherent for this conversation.
The woman is the employer of the mercenaries, and congratulates us on getting rid of the doppelganger. She reveals that she had given the mercenaries we defeated orders to leave the W.A.R.D.S untouched. She explains that the Heaping Eyes have favors they would like to call in later. They will call in this favour when the time is right. She leaves and Isaac follows while invisible, and Sai follows Isaac too.
After 20 min of following, she meets a Human with yellowy orange hair swept back. Dark robes, round red tinted glasses.
Woman bluffs that she is seeing someone, and mentions this to her new companion. His eyes flare, he looks straight at Isaac and a light flares in his eyes. He goes 'shoo'. Isaac is following them further back, and Sai loses track of the group. 15 min later the group catch Isaac out, so they drop invisibility and say they followed to make sure Sai didnt follow, because Sai is not to be trusted.
Once Isaac returns we all climb up into the crow's nest which Rahn the archer was previously using, and get ready to rebrief. Isaac explains that about a year ago they and Sai made a mistake and became indebted to the Heaping Eyes. Rebecka, the doppelganger, worked for them, but was slipping the mercenaries we attacked some of the supplies. Isaac was going to try to find their hideout, but since being caught out had to give this up.
Isaac is convinced that to tie up loose ends, these people will send goons after us, and that we should use those people to find out the organisation's hiding place.
