In the center there was a wooden counter with various books and a crystal ball while sitting on it was an Aarakocra, a humanoid bird resembling a dove and dressed in purple striped trousers, a long-sleeved blue shirt and a cape. orange checks while on his plumed head he wore a top hat.
This greatly intrigued the two witches who approached the latter who, looking up from the book he was intent on reading, beckoned to them.
"Good morning to you, I'm Aluisius, how can I brighten your day?" asked the arakocra.
Luz smiled, walking over and waving.
"Hi, I'm here to buy a magic bow, do you have any?" the human asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Of course, which one are you looking for? I have bows with enchantment up to the second degree, bows of slaying for every creature and a very rare oathbow," said Aluisius, waving his clawed fingers.
This caught the young witch's curiosity and she nodded with twinkling eyes.
The aarakocra chuckled lightly and then motioned for her to follow him towards one of the display cases.
Opening it, Aluisius took out a beautiful bow with a golden handle and the remaining parts the color of ivory, which made Luz quite fascinated.
"This magnificent longbow made by expert elven hands can allow you to mark your target, making the arrows you shoot more lethal, your hand more precise and your aim accurate and not hindered by too wide a range of fire," he explained, making Luz even more excited.
"Ohh yes, mama likes it... and how much does it cost?", she asked, the widest smile she could muster.
"Thirteen thousand gold coins," replied the other.
At that moment Luz's dreams shattered like a crystal glass hit by a ten-wheeler.
"Um... I don't have that much money," she said, somewhat demoralized.
"Well, how much can you offer if I may ask?", said the other, placing the bow back in the display case.
"Uhh... I think one thousand two hundred gold coins," the girl replied, remembering that she had just spent four hundred coins on the resurrection scroll.
"Mh, I understand," Aluisius nodded and then approached another display case and took a bow, this time smaller and resembling a composite bow.
"This is a shortbow with a first degree enchantment, it makes the bow more accurate and lethal and is effective against creatures resistant or immune to non-magical weapons and attacks, I can give it to you for five hundred gold pieces," he said.
"Eh, it's not an oathbow but at least it's reliable, right?", Luz asked, a not-so-enthusiastic smile on her face.
"Extremely, even a mere first-degree enchantment can mean the difference between life and death," Aluisius replied.
"Okay, you convinced me... here's the money", he said, taking a leather bag and quickly counting the money, she handed it to the merchant.
"Also, would you be interested in a magic quiver for that bow?" he proposed shortly after.
Luz raised an eyebrow.
"It depends on the price and how magical it is"
"Well, I have a Quiver of Endless Arrows, you can put arrows in the quiver and they will not run out," he replied, opening another case and taking out a silver metal quiver with spirals and about twenty wooden arrows at the internal.
"Uhh, not bad...and how much is it?", she asked, crossing her arms.
"Three hundred gold coins," the other replied with a nod.
"I'll take it!", Luz exclaimed with a smile, taking another bag of money.
Amity meanwhile was eyeing a couple of shoulder bags on a coat rack.
Taking one she felt it, it was soft and depicted a stylized face of a bird.
"Um, this bag? Is it magical?" she asked, turning to the merchant.
"Oh yes, a Bag of Holding, you can store items in a small dimensional pocket up to five hundred pounds, that's four hundred gold coins each"
Amity showed an interested expression and with a smile she took two, heading to the counter and leaving eight hundred gold coins.
The aarakocra took the money and then gave the witch a rather serious look.
"Please remember, you must never, ever, ever, ever insert a Bag of Holding inside another and the same goes for a Handy Haversack and a Portable Hole or any combination of these three or they will collapse instantly and they will send you and anyone close to you straight into the Astral Plane from which you will never ...
Amity's eyes widened at this, nodding in alarm.
"Jeez, sounds quite dangerous ...", commented Luz, approaching her girlfriend.
"Yeah... so I guess you wouldn't want my gift, would you?", asked the witch with an uncertain smile and shrugging her shoulders.
"Oh Titan no, but of course I want a gift! Especially if it's made by you," Luz said, hugging her, to which Amity hugged laughed slightly.
Merren approached Aluisius, eyeing a stone on one of the shelves.
"Hey, is that a rune stone?" asked the half-elf.
"Sure, I'm a rune-forger, interested?", asked the other back.
"Yes, I would like a bounded rune for my armor and my sword, so I can save time having to wear it every time and I won't have problems if someone robs me"
"Oh, I would like one too for my armor and halberd," Freya commented, moving closer.
"Of course, give me your armor and weapons and they will be ready in a couple of days," Aluisius nodded.
The bard and the paladin did as asked and then took their leave and left.
Amity reached them shortly after while Luz, before setting off, was attracted by an interesting object, a pendant in the shape of a silver hand closed in a fist.
"Mh, and what is this?", she asked, taking it from a shelf.
As the aarakocra approached the item she eyed it.
"The Pendant of Mage Hand, allows you to use the aforementioned Cantrip"
"Oh and what does it do?" asked the human witch.
In response, Aluisius waved a hand, casting a spell.
"Veni et iuva me!"
Immediately a blue ghostly hand appeared at his side, floating a meter above the ground.
"You can summon a ghostly hand that you can mentally command, allowing you to manipulate objects from a distance of thirty feet, you can open unlocked doors or a container, stow or retrieve an object from an open container, or pour a contents into a vial, also it can carry objects weighing up to ten pounds and vanishes...
"Mh, I see... and how much does it cost?", she asked, rubbing her chin.
"One hundred gold coins"
With a smile Luz nodded, taking it.
She already had some ideas in mind.
"Let me get this straight, was the clue you had to find out something about the vampire infestation here? In the fucking prison of Sorfossa!?", asked Merren, the tone of his voice somewhat surprised and not at all happy as he looked down from above aboard the Palisman of Luz, surrounded by the bloody sunset sky at a de...
"Not exactly a clue, more so seeing a whole horde of feral vampires come straight out of there," Freya replied in a calm tone.
"Great, really..." commented the half-elf in an extremely sarcastic tone.
"Is there any problem with this prison? Besides the probable nest of vampiric horrors," Luz asked, grimacing slightly.
"Nothing, besides that this place is quite famous for locking up Azoth the Mad," Merren replied with an irritated expression.
"Who?" Amity asked, confused.
"Remember at the inn in Silverreach when I mentioned that during a Blood Moon two hundred years ago there was a demonic invasion?", Merren asked in turn, getting a nod from the rest of the group.
"Well, Azoth the Mad was the wizard who caused that invasion and this was his home before it happened, as he was a wizard capable of using spells up to the eighth circle and among them includes a spell that allows you to transfer your soul into a clone you created if you die, the Empire decided that locking him up in a...
"And... what happened to this Azoth in the end?" Luz asked.
"Oh he died, during the Scarlet War, that's what the invasion was called, a group of heroes found the hideout where his clones were piled up and destroyed them and then killed Azoth, his corpse is still locked up in a grave that no one knows where it is... and I thank the Gods that it will never be found, that man was ...
"I think that's enough of the history lesson now, we have a job to do," Freya commented, motioning for Amity to go down towards the tower entrance.
"Yes, let's go find out what's causing all these vampire attacks," Luz replied, flying towards the tower doors as well.
Upon landing they saw the enormous, rotten wooden doors wide open and destroyed as the entrance led to a circular room strewn with rubble where the only thing of note was a staircase in the center leading to the lower floor.
An ominous quiet hung over the place, not helped by the story Merren had just told.
Freya placed a hand on the blade, using the Cantrip Light to light their path into the dark corners of the tower.
Having no other way, the four adventurers went down the stairs, finding a barred door open and creaking.
Lining up, Merren led the group followed by Freya, Amity behind her and Luz bringing up the rear.
They descended into a narrow, damp stone corridor that led them to the right twice until they reached a bare rectangular room with a collapsed corner where debris was piled up as the corridor stretched out before them.
Passing along the corridor they reached a room flooded with stagnant and putrid water, which elicited a disgusted grimace from the half-elf who proceeded to his left where the entrance to the next room was.
Suddenly Freya's hand stopped him, drawing his attention while the paladin had stopped to eye the pit full of water.
"See anything?" he asked, taking his sword in his hand.
"Yes... I see something inside the water pit," she said, worrying Amity and Luz.
The latter immediately proceeded to summon Mage Hand and give it the tome of glyphs from which she placed an arrow on the fire glyph that was inscribed in it, ready to nock an arrow while Amity summoned her staff.
"They look like..." Freya muttered and then her eyes widened as she saw the water boiling, alarming the group.
In a flash eight creatures leapt out of the pool, hunched, pale-skinned figures, dressed in rags and with long claws and sharp fangs, dull eyes and a clear hunger for flesh.
"Fuck! Ghouls! Watch out! Their claws have paralyzing toxins!", exclaimed Merren, immediately attacking and marking a ghoul with Hex, proceeding to bombard it with Eldritch Blast and a sword blow to the head, decapitating it in a flash.
Freya instead casted Divine Favor and immediately after with a lunge and a slash she tore through one of the ghouls in front of her, being eliminated by a flaming arrow from Luz immediately afterwards.
Amity, on the other hand, decided that she wanted to settle the matter quickly so with a magic circle she produced a small flame on her index finger which she threw to the bottom of the pool of water, producing a large explosion of fire that vaporized the pool of water and severely burned the ghouls that they screamed ...
With feral growls the ghouls rushed at Merren and Freya, clawing and biting them but the bard and the paladin were far too agile or protected to be scratched by their attacks.
The half-elf passed the mark to one of the ghouls who proceeded to blast it with one beam of Eldritch Blast and another with the second beam and a sword thrust.
Freya in turn decapitated two ghouls and seriously wounded a third with the pommel of the halberd and was then finished off by Luz with an arrow enhanced by a freezing glyph while the last remaining ghoul was burned alive by a jet of flame from Amity.
The undead attempted a desperate attack by attacking the half-elf but the latter simply dodged, finishing him off with another beam of magical energy.
"Oof, teamwork makes the dream work!", Luz commented, observing how they had finished off the ghouls so easily.
"Yup, I was pretty impressive," Merren smirked proudly.
"Don't let your guard down, there may be other nodead nearby, stay alert," Freya said, indicating to continue towards the next room.
With a collective nod the group headed to the right, encountering a corridor that branched into two streets, right and left, while in front of them there was a stone rise with three sarcophagi.
"Mh, which path do we take? I see no sign of passage," commented Merren, looking both ways.
"Same goes for me," Freya murmured.
"Hmm...maybe I have an idea," Luz said, picking up a coin.
"Heads we go right, tails we go left," she exclaimed, tossing the coin and catching it immediately after.
"Tails, let's go left," she said with a confident smile.
