Valos (Shadow Raven) – John
Myra – Dani
Decurro Laren – John
Milo Sonder – Trevor
GM – Jesse
As the Bitter Mother passes the halfway mark to Highland, Valos approaches Milo about a personal matter regarding his family. He wants to make an appearance at his parents farm before heading out to deliver the package and gets the ok from Milo.
Fast forward about a week and Myra is down in the hold near the artifact when she hears the tarp rustling. Sneaking around, she sees a small humanoid man marking something on the tarp with a rod. She jumps out startling him and he begins blubbering. He apologizes profusely and says that an unknown someone left him money and a map with a note to come down to the hold and mark certain packages. Deciding it’s best not to have him remember their conversation, Myra befuckles his memory and he drops into a stupor.
While she’s dealing with that Decarro comes down and tries to meditate near the artifact. She shows him the rod the halfing was using and he recognizes it as a reader/writer, mostly used on the black market. Valos comes down at this time and after Myra and Decarro explain the situation Valos ties up the halflings while they try to figure things out. Luckily the brains of the operation, Milo comes down to save the day.
Decarro used the reader side of the rod to see what’s been marked on the various packages but doesn’t recognize the symbol. Fortunately Milo does. It is the symbol of a group of creatures known to “collect” trinkets. They aren’t thieves per se but are drawn to what they consider shiny objects, like magpies. That by itself seems weird, they’re not known to pay people to steal things.
They decide to untie the halflings and give him his things back before he wakes up. He goes on about his business and Decarro runs up to the guys room to investigate. Valos tails him following him ultimately to the galley. Meanwhile Decarro doesn’t find anything of interest in the room except for the money he was paid to mark the packages.
Myra and Milo stay in the hold examining the cargo trying to figure out what things were marked and why. Opening up one crate they find sound dampeners for use by individuals. As they’re wrapping things up the ships alarm begins to sound.
