Discord Summary: 2025-W13

• Lyssandra explains that the Green Lady sells minor noble titles to attract people to Gosterwick; titles provide land discounts, and Wardens earn bounties for attracting prosperous merchants or craftsmen. She notes the town is nearing capacity for treasure buying power. [#loot | 2025-04-05]

• The Arcane Practitioners Club earns thousands monthly in training, identification, and membership fees, reinvesting most into their library and scrolls. They deliberately avoid keeping good records because they are skirting the Collegium’s legal monopoly on magic in the Empire (the Collegium is not yet present in Gosterwick). [#loot | 2025-04-05]

• Pelteon (summoned by Lyssandra, still sulking because she cannot afford the Gem of Insight) identifies a glass square as a key to a teleportation device; the teleport magic is not inherent to the square but requires placement in a larger teleport object. [#loot | 2025-04-05]

• Gem of Insight options discussed: sell to Green Lady for lump sum (enough cash for 2 XP loot session), sell to Arcane Practitioners Club for income stream, or keep for potential +1 IQ but no loot XP. If kept long enough for the +1 to stick but then sold, the user keeps IQ but loses Will and Per bonuses. Lyssandra would sell to Lady Alexia because Pelteon would leave if she kept it. [#loot | 2025-04-05]

• Neither potion belts nor potions are available in town unless found with an availability roll in play. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-04-01]

• Plate armor types (including Brigandine, Segmented plate, Dwarven armor) are not available; heaviest is heavy scale, best is Elven Heavy Mail when in stock. This is confirmed as an in-world constraint of the adventure, not merely a GM decision. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-04-06]

• Water Vision spell can see through Fog spells. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-04-01]

• DB from Shield spell does not help with sacrificial defenses; it only works on the subject. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-04-06]

• Restore Memory only recalls things that were memorized, not things witnessed but never remembered. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-04-06]

• Pelteon seems to ignore Ioannes slightly less due to his apparent wealth and impressive cat. [#archive | 2025-04-05]

• Lacrymosa (Merenuithiel “Lacrymosa” Armaris) was raised as an assassin at the temple of Tychias and uses the bow “Tears of the Forsaken.” [#grudge-brigade | 2025-04-01]
