Session 30

Recap

• Journeys continued, Keph wanted to be on the carriage and tried to climb up in motion, queue falling off .
• Later on everyone made camp and on the watch you noticed movement out by a nearby stream. Once everyone was awake they investigated and it was Bullywugs that had been there.
• You continued to Duren, asking at one point for Jeremiah to be on the front with Zanotah and Elswith. You made it to Duren, a coastal city with gardens and parks as this is the home of Borvo.
• Djinn wanted to show Jeremiah the ocean and boats once inn and accommodations had been sorted.
• There was a dwarf in the inn who was racist about Tieflings, Elswith went outside, with Zanotah (after he'd been rather rude to Zanotah) and it all kicked off.
• Djinn returned mid-fight, used command to make him apologize, and a chromatic orb in his sidekick. Everyone stayed in the inn for the night and had a long rest after Zanotah had an interesting conversation
