To confuse the Assassin, the party split up with each group taking a part of the Aquila. Tiffanie took ship with Jocelyn on the Grey Gull<\/em> out of Breven bound for Thalassa, while Elemix and Emmeline went overland to Camaret to consult an acquaintance\u00a0of El’s about the Obsidian Aquila<\/em>\u00a0and its history.<\/p>\n On the journey, once again Emmeline was confronted by yet another team of kidnappers (or so she thought) with struck a devil’s bargain to help her on the journey, protect her, and in exchange agree to meet with their employer, a friend of Emmeline’s evil uncle Mazarin d’Eleveur. So far, they have kept their part of the bargain, helping drive off\u00a0the Assassin once again, though it was a near-run thing.<\/p>\n After a hard overland slog, where they avoided inns and lived off the land (advice from de Bruges, the aformentioned bounty-hunter\/kidnapper), they finally arrived in Camaret. There the weary party was treated to dinner and conversation on the Aquila at the home of Dr. Brego Bruin and his wife Baili Farkak-Bruin. They learned that the Aquila is more than it seems, and in truth is only the staff head of a full aquila, but those were rarely made of glass.<\/p>\n Upon arriving on Thalassa, but before meeting Tiffanie and Jocelyn at the Great Temple of Aarith, Elemix and Emmeline visited the Wizard’s Guild tower (Tower of High Wizardry<\/em>) and then one of the Bardic colleges where they met Rivanon.<\/p>\n Arzuul & Arzohr<\/strong> – Mercenaries from Breven who decided not to escort Elemix and Emmeline.<\/p>\n Dr. Brego Bruin & Baili Farkak-Bruin<\/b>\u00a0– Dwarven academics from Camaret (possibly born in the nearby Markhelm Colonies).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Magus’ Ewan, Mazzey, &\u00a0Herv\u00e9<\/strong> – Camarian wizards of the Guild.<\/p>\n Serg\u00e9 the Footman<\/strong> – Hired footman on Thalassa<\/p>\n Dame Rivanon Maria Est\u00e9 Lady d’Uzec<\/strong> – Heiress, bard, advocate, and now prot\u00e9g\u00e9e of Emmeline (despite their near-identical ages with Rivanon just a few months\u00a0older).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview To confuse the Assassin, the party split up with each group taking a part of the Aquila.
