The Collective - Session 26

This is the twenty-sixth session in The Collective campaign and the first in the Exploring the Buried Auction & Attack on the Docks sub-arc of the Treasure of Captain Lofy Arc.

Summary
THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1001: It's the new year. Hooray! Early in the morning, a Half-Elf man by the name of Alexander Peart expressed interest in moving into the apartments below the Collective estate, his offer quickly taken up by Delorean. Gorrn went off into the forest that day and bagged a 150 lb deer, while Rosanhi and Roscoe went to the Church of Arabella to check on the orphans. There they met Madeline Harris, who had taken up the helm of the Church after the disappearance of the former leader of the Church. There, they learned that the Church did not have nearly enough space to hold the orphans; together, the three of them began planning a benefit concert for the orphans.

Remembering that they were instructed to meet a contact from the Gnomish "organization" in the Buried Auction, the party (led by Badger) went to the pocket dimension to learn what information the agent named Archer could provide (I realize that this makes it sound like a reference to the animated spy comedy Archer but that was wholly unintentional, I promise). Down in the Buried Auction, Gnorbitt had erectile dysfunction with a prostitute, and both him and Gorrn managed to purchase a fire whip, a rapier, and Dweed from two Dwarves, as well as an upgrade for Gorrn's maul (the thing is a big meat tenderizer now). Whilst there, the party also picked up a set of bagpipes, a book on learning both the Infernal and Primordial languages, and a copy of Goblin Grack's Cook Book Volume I (with his famous slow-roasted spider legs recipe!). Finally meeting with Archer, they learned that the map they possessed was part of an old pirate legend, one of the old Captain Lofy, who hid his treasure away and had the map to it branded upon four of his cabin boys. According to Archer, the map that they have might just be real and there's a rumor that the possessor of the fourth map is due to return to Paradeen very soon.
