Festival: RP Update

While in town, a few days pass.

The party members discover that the summer festival is going to take place. There will be lots of performances, special blessings given by the temples, and an exceptional play right by the temple of Apollo. 'Horrid Lot' is rumored to be the best actor of the region and star of the play The Maiden and the Ghoul.

Meanwhile, Linora gets severely intoxicated and Dwight spends his off time sending off a message to his father in order to get his brother extradited to Joven. Ghost and Dwight spend some time practicing with quarterstaves, and for once Ghost comes out the better. Ghost finally secures a meeting with the Guildmaster, requesting that their party be thought of first if Darik is to be returned home. Ghost also expresses her interest in becoming a Guild officer.

Cornwallis the Conjurer makes an appearance during the festival, and Ghost seeks him out to identify the odd wand that Homer Slewfoot had gifted to her. Cornwallis merely finds out that it is a wand of paralyzation, not how to use it. She wished to also find out the nature of her sword, but Cornwallis' fees were too high.

After the play, which brought Ghost and Dwight to tears, the party relaxes in the Cleft Tombstone. As Ayman and Cyneric walk home, they are attacked by Ghouls. Quick thinking by a well placed grease spell by Ayman turns the tide until help could come.
