The farmer returns to town with you, he was headed there anyway, but makes sure to keep a healthy distance from Glory on the road. When you return, the towns folk seem surprised to see you, and some of them still give you space as you move through the square.
You meet Gansukh back at the inn. Oh, hello strangers from across the sea! How wonderful you have returned! I did not expect to see you again. A thought hits him, You are still yourself I hope?

Erin allows people to shuffle her along back towards town, trying to keep from responding out loud to the voice in her head.
Erin looks up at Charlotte's mention of a drink.
"Do you think a drink may help this go away? If so, lots and lots of wine. Chelish red if you have it."
Then puts her head down heard on the table. At Gansukh's question, Erin lifts her head back up and mumbles.
"No, two people."
Then rests her head back on the table.
Gansukh leads Charlotte to a local temple where she can purchase such a scroll or hire a local priest.
The townfolk are overjoyed to hear of the slaying of Minasako Himiju. They will no longer fear to stay out after sundown or stray too far from home. The innkeeper offers you dinner and a room for the night on the house.

Now that Charlotte is in a better position to assess everyone's injuries, she takes a good look at Ashur. She swears in Celestial. Man. I wasted a spell. This is just fatigue damage. All he needs to do is REST! She pulls out a bottle of Chelish Wine. Guess is now a good time to use this. She pulls out the bottle and gives both Erin and Ashur one glass each.
Here. Take this, and go straight to bed. Erin, I'll be right behind you to make those voices go away.
|
|
"Okay."
She makes a grab for the bottle and leaves the glass on the table, taking a long drink and starts making her way upstairs.
"My head is killing me from all the yelling. I thank you Charlotte, for the wine."
Then to no one in particular.
"I am sorry brother, if you can hear me over all that anger."

Ashur's takes the bottle out of her hand and drinks the entire bottle in front of her. Well I guess it was a good thing I didn't give them the expensive bottle
As she escorts both Ashur and Erin to bed, she reads the scroll to break the curse on Erin.
Spell Caster Check -- if that fails, please put the scroll cost on my chronicle sheet.
The scroll has no effect on Erin’s current state of mind.
A small Tian boy, with tussled black hair and dirty feet, shows an interest in Glory as Tanrov rides through the town. He is hesitant at first, but then agrees to ride along with the young barbarian on his mighty steed, screaming for joy the whole way around the town.
|
Tanrov is happy to have the boy along for the ride and really lets the big animal let loose as he gallops around outside the town.
The boy'ss cheers make him think about his brothers.
I wonder what Taurus is up to...
When the ride is done, Tanrov takes the tian boy down and sends him on his way and then sees to Glory's care. He removes the saddle and pads, brushes him down, checks his hooves for any debris, and then feeds and waters him.
Feeling better about the day's activities, Tanrov finds his room and goes to sleep.

Of the books you obtained there are several of note, and some others on poetry, torture, warfare, and history that are not.
There is one document that seems a mundane description of local merchants, but there may be more to it that meets the eye.
Another document is a fascinating book on military history.
There is a record of all of the members of the Way of Kirin from a thousand years ado. This may prove very useful if the Society want to locate any surviving members today.
There is also Minasako’s journal detailing her falling out and disillusionment with the Way, and her subsequent rituals in order to obtain her immortality including the countless murders and other heinous crimes she committed.
Minasako’s journal does not mention the tax collector. But Gansukh knows of him and is a little afraid of him.
The next morning is sunny and bright with ocean breezes swirling through the town.
Upon your return, the information you bring on the Way of Kirin sets the society abuzz. The 10 make some discrete inquires to obtain Hinojai as a regional base, after the haunts have been cleared out of course, in hopes that the Way may make contact. Anticipation builds on what the distant continent may bring for the Pathfinder Society.

You see Yandu often on the deck of the ship. A burned piece of wood and a knife in his hand. It takes nearly half the way back until it becomes recognisable.
Some dark black tentacles - carved from wood.
He proudly shows it around - to surprise you all when he throws it overboard.
The second carving he does - a dolphin - out of a white piece of wood gets a better fate.

Sense Motive on Miltary Documents:
Linguistics on the information about the local merchants:
In the early morning before dawn, Charlotte arises and begins to prepare her spells. As an extra precaution to last night's fiasco with the scroll, she makes sure to prep three castings of the ritual required to remove curses. While the sun rises she preforms the first round of rituals.
Caster Check:
Noticing the spell fizzles, she preforms the ritual for a second time.
Caster Level Check 2:
Growing incredibly frustrated, she attempts one final time to complete the ritual.
Caster level check final:
After three attempts and now heavily exhausted to continue spellcasting. She returns to a church and hires a priest to remove the curse. All the while swearing in celestial. This is why I don't do healing spells. I like my cool unique spells. *swears in celestial some more* I should have become an inquisitor like my sister in law Tessara. Then I wouldn't be expected to heal things..*more swearing in celestial*
Charlotte is unable to glean anything else from the gathered documents.

Before they leave town, a priest comes in to remove the curse on Erin. As Erin is restored, she thanks the priest and wishes him well. They exchange copies of each other's holy texts as a sign of good faith, and sharing the knowledge of mutual faiths.
Upon returning to Absalom, she stops by the Society's "Customs Item Check" and turns in all her books and special items. After debriefing, she returns home to the Amberdagger/Stormslayer compound in the Eastgate District by Evergreen Park. Plopping down her books and adventurers gear, she is immediately greeted by her sister-in-law and head of the the household Ophelia. The Lady Bishop of the Church of Sarenrae in Absalom.
Home again. Welcome back. I trust Sarenrae has granted you great providence? She asks
For the most part she did. But I am going to need some serious sleep and study time concerning healing spells. Charlotte replies.
How so? Ophelia asks surprised
It's a long story, I'll tell you over tea. Ophelia and Charlotte walk to the parlor where tea already awaits them.
