2023-10-24 · Folding Boat Refugees

Recap

The party watches Godoy burn from the walls, confirms nobody outside the party yet knows who caused it, and investigates the drained soul-storing device from the bank job — a roll of 30 from Jess (not a natural 20, despite Jake’s assumption) reveals it crosses planes, likely siphoning souls elsewhere. Rather than stay, they disguise themselves and join the refugee column, picking Lutathal as their destination, home to the annual Magic Carpet Race. Jess reveals her folding boat, “Nessie,” and the party sails and then flies it ahead of the column. That night, Pat scries on Cadillac for seven minutes and learns he’s privately planning to purge and re-vet changelings near the king now that most of Godoy’s changeling population is dead. The party reaches Lutathal ahead of the refugees — Pat trips a magical alarm sneaking in disguised and invisible — reunites inside, and learns about the race from a tavern waitress. Negotiations with carpet- maker Greg for race sponsorship collapse after Ozan jokingly offers Rich as collateral; Jess curses Greg in retaliation. The party still formally registers for the race under ticket #7, three days before it starts.
