§ Interactions
011 At the Glum Gryphon, Gristle returns and is coaxed back into Lark with some tatertots from Cinder's canonical chest oven. She updates the party about the Daask and Dreamlily. Jacopo suggests they murder some Daask. The rest of the party is horrified and worried about retribution from a criminal gang. Jacopo is more concerned that Gustavo might kill him if this situation is not quickly rectified.
008 The party is separated as they enter the Bloody Blade Shrine. In addition to a lit candle and a dagger, each party member was given a phrase associated with a god of the Sovereign Host. They discover that the undead wandering the Shrine avoid their candlelight, which seems magical and can't be augmented despite Cinder's best attempt.
008 Cinder wanders the dungeon, passing a few statues before meeting up with his friends. He stabs Onatar before joining with Talos and Zelandris.
008 Lan Hazal and Vampire Mommy ask the Bloody Blade Shrine assembly to all donate blood to perform a clarifying ritual over events that have recently transpired. Jacopo slips Cinder the vial of blood from the Aureon statue. Nazari pretends to faint, knocking over the basin of collected blood. When they insist on getting her blood, she hurls the basin at Vampire Mommy and snaps her King's Swords coin.
006 Leaving Hazal Smelting, the party finds Ignus a fire elemental from Fernia likely pulled through the Fernian gate opened by Cinder. Ignus is excited by the prospect of joining a murder investigation and joins the party, gravitating toward Cinder due to his Fernian connection.
006 Cinder reveals to the party he is not a student at Morgrave University, and instead is an experimental warforged (alongside Boreal and Root) that is able to forge a connection to other planes and draw on their powers. He is nervous about Merrix d'Cannith's interest in him. Talos reassures him that Merrix has progressive views about warforged autonomy.
006 Cinder and Talos are greeted by Pierce at Merrix d'Cannith's apartment. He brings them to Merrix. Cinder learns most of Merrix's immediate family was killed in Cyre during the Mourning. They talk about Kinetic Warforged, and Cinder lies saying he is the only one left. Cinder agrees to help Merrix from time to time at his factory. In return, Merrix promises to help Pyramus with his legal troubles.
005 At the Red Hammer Inn, Cinder approaches Scythe for information about Hazal Smelting. He learns about employee movement and a shift change to a "skeleton crew" that occurs at 8pm. Scythe also blames the party for Pyramus's predicament and demands "blood money" for Cinder keeping company with "slavers".
005 Jacopo approaches Boreal and tries to reassure him that Cinder's secret about their kinetic powers is safe with him.
004 Talos questions Cinder about his Morgrave University cover story. Cinder expresses worry about drawing the attention of Merrix d'Cannith. Talos reassures him of Merrix's progressive views toward Warforged.
004 Cinder is caught attempting to break into Morgrave University. He runs from the guards with no success in furthering the investigation.
004 Jacopo returns to Truffs n Stuff in High Walls, where he reads a coded message from the Korranberg Chronicle using a cipher. He leaves a dossier concerning the Diamond Theatre attack at a dead drop location, only holding back concerns over Cinder's strange capabilities.
004 Cinder, Jacopo and the twins head to the Cogs and the Red Hammer Inn. Cinder introduces his party members to Boreal and Root. They chastise Cinder in private about his indiscreet actions at the Diamond Theatre. There is a letter from Merrix d'Cannith asking Cinder to tour his premises. Cinder promises caution from now on.
003 The Party take sky coaches to Graywall, a Karrnathi enclave within Middle Tavick's Landing. In transit, members of the party learn that Jacopo hates "gobos" and that Cinder fought for Cyre - on opposite sides of the War to Nazari and Zelandris.
003 Cinder steps through the summoning circle and three flaming skulls animate and attack the Party. The skulls are dispatched but the apartment lights on fire, forcing the group to flee as Wultram's Apartment burns down with any remaining evidence.
003 The Party splits up for the night. Cinder and Jacopo stay at Talos's Apartment in Upper Menthis. Zelandris attempts to heal Nazari's ghoul wound at their run-down apartment. At the Glum Gryphon, Lark plays a traditional Cyran song to comfort Angelica Mediri.
002 Merrix d'Cannith approaches Talos d'Lyrandar after the fight, where they comment on Cinder's unusual abilities and terrible lying. Merrix asks Talos to befriend Cinder. We also learn Talos lost his sister Zaria d'Lyrandar during the Day of Mourning.
002 The Sharn City Watch arrive, including the detective Eskridge Callaway and the journalist Monty Applebee. Jacopo hides the bag of holding that was used to unleash the undead. The detectives are suspicious of the party after Cinder mentions the now missing bag. Gus pulls strings and convinces the guards to let the issue slide.
001 Cinder works his first day at the Red Hammer Inn in the Cogs. He works for the warforged Crucible and Blue. Cinder kicks back with fellow kinetic warforged Boreal and Root, as well as the anti-fleshy Scythe. He is invited to expand his horizons by seeing a play with the reforged Sprocket and the playwright Pyramus.
001 A fight breaks out after the old man throws open a bag of undead creatures! The party dispatches the undead with the help of some audience members. Nazari tackles the crazy old man. Merrix d'Cannith notes Cinder's powers. Lark chases after Luca.
