Young New World season 4

Return to Young New World

Session 33: To Lynkeed (4/10/816 to 7/10/816)

• The group received tokens of appreciation from the Emperor and discussed next steps in locating the descendants of the one presumed dead in the battle of Sutyr. Yoshi peered into the past with his heirloom chronomancy device and divined that he was alive and present at the battle right before the primary fight took place. Since he can only use it once a week, we agreed to try to use it again during the journey to Lynkeed. Not sure if we actually discussed that additional scrying in-game since we're already in Lynkeed.
• We arrived safely outside Lynkeed thanks to the help of our Orcish guide. The journey took roughly 12 days. Our first order of business was to meet with one of two prominent families in Lynkeed. One oversees horse farming and the other is a brewmaster. On the way to the farmhouse, we noticed the flashes and sounds of magic being cast in the distance. We approached and came face to face with a stone giant and several human casters. The giant turned out to be an illusion, but after stating our business plainly and honestly, the lead caster introduced himself as the Iotian in charge of Lynkeed; Burke. He insisted we take a guide to show us around the city, so he assigned one of his apprentices, Jesse, to join our group. At first we politely declined, but Yoshi had a sudden and 180 degree change of heart, so we agreed to have Jesse join us since Yoshi was so thoroughly convinced it was a good idea.
• Jesse led us to the farmhouse then we met with the administrator of the horse farm and set an appointment for the following day at 2pm. We also linked the horse lord to one of Yoshi's prophecies since his banner is purple and Yoshi saw a "purple horse" as one of his visions. With the appointment in place, we set off to travel to the orphanage, but decided to travel the long way around the broken wall that used to surround the outskirts of the city limits. This too was in one of Yoshi's prophecies (the broken wall). Along the wall, we found what appears to be a divinely enchanted basket imbued with the symbol of The Oldest Orc. It was filled with chalk and rocks. We also discovered that it only seems to be able to be handled by those faithful to the Oldest Orc as a trap went off in Garek's face when he picked it up, covering his face with white chalk. Yoshi dispelled the curse and we are now on our way to the orphanage. At some point, we'll meet up with the Brewer family too since they were mentioned as being trustworthy.
