Joey, the Rock Crusher (2/2/28)

The plan was simple. They would go to the market to buy the necessary unguents and poultices to reincarnate Brog. But as Ilyana began gathering a following of curious onlookers, Marty cautioned her to keep the affair small. When Ilyana refused, Marty slipped off and buried Brog’s body to protect the tower from being inundated with waves of desperate people demanding their loves ones be brought back. Ilyana was upset when she returned, but rather than tracking down Marty and demanding Brog’s body, she instead took Lexington’s.

With a small crowd watching on, Ilyana reincarnated Lexington. He came back in a dwarven body. They explained to him, as best they could what had happened, but in the end, Lex decided there was no place for him in Malwan. He left with little fanfare to seek his fortune in the mines. Giada suggested he might take a new name, something dwarven, like Joey, the Rock Crusher.

At a council meeting, Justice called for reinstatement of an obscure law conscripting all young men into military training for a year. Given several missing council members the matter was shelved until a full council was present.

While searching for the site of Ilyana’s ritual, Euwyn encountered a crowd of angry citizens who were clamoring for the removal of all non-humans from Malwan, particularly the elves. He was able to talk them down. They seemed almost shocked that the Prince didn’t agree with them.

Tensions still high, the party decided to take Edgar’s latest restored magic item, an instant fortress, and head into the woods to try to find some enchanted cotton.
