Yeah.
Eabd as in Abdul. Just a hint of an E at the start.
Waiting on a response from Sasha, BTW.

Sorry, didnât have much to say and forgot I hadnât said it
Iâm assuming that sometime during the voyage, Hayu had time to float her plan for the weapons past Eoin?
Well, giving yâall a chance to do that was why I was prolonging the boat tripâŚ
But you can take it as read if you donât want to do it on the narrative thread.
It helps in this format to be a self-starter.
Hey, I am trying not to take over the whole thread, and to give other people a chance.
Itâs not my fault that they were in a hurry to get off the boat.
If weâre taking it as read Hayu floated the idea past Eoin, heâll have mentioned he knows just the guy. Or at least, just the guy whoâll know the guy.
But after the boat, find place to stay and/meet up point for after any split party shenanigans, then go get these weapons sold and the party cashed up?
Did Sasha heal up Thwips arm on the way because otherwise he has been in a splint and sling for a week.
Thwip is at full HP, but still has a broken arm. Thwip needs to either:
[1] Sasha has the restore-HP spells, but none of the ancillary stuff (Stop Bleeding, Cure Disease, Reverse Poison, etc). Heâs not a specialist healer.
Hadaton:
The Islamic neighbourhood is the bit just above the market square. Itâs just a lower-class ethnic neighbourhood, not a literal walled ghetto.
BTW: Hadaton is a walled city, and itâs not the sort of place where random civilians are allowed to wander around kitted for war. You got away with it in Tredroy because you were members of the mercenaryâs guild, but not here.
Transporting weaponry is legal (but may attract notice), but walking around in armour carrying shield/crossbow/etc will get you arrested.
A sheathed knife or sword (up to broadsword size) is acceptable, anything more than that is not. Ranar might get away with one axe, but itâd be pushing your luck.
Whatâs up first? Heading to find an inn, or going to meet Eoinâs contact in the Islamic neighbourhood?
Iâll post some further adventures of Captain Jean Luc Thwip when I get home in a few hours.
Before I write;
I assume Thwip will have at this point in his career some experience in disguising his rifle in a way to not draw the attention of unfriendly authority figures?
Also, what about armor that is being carried? Iâd hate to have to have Ranar naked but it might be preferable to him being in a cell having a very vigorous âconversationâ with the local inquisitor.
I donât think itâd be in either Hayu or Eoinâs characters to wait around for number two so weâll have to give one a go. What would the local term for a magical healer be?
Ranar has street clothes, and the armour can be carried. Realistically, armour would be removed whenever possible: itâs hot and uncomfortable.
Thwipâs rifle is easily disguised by wrapping it in a blanket or somesuch, especially if you remove the stock/airtank. A guard who stumbles over it would probably just think itâs a weird broken crossbow or something.
BTW, mechanical tasks to do:
As well as:
Youâve also got a bunch of jewellery which may or may not be powerstones. Sasha would be able to tell if he was shown them.
âHealerâ is fine. Thereâs a Catholic healing order (the Alycites), but there are secular healers as well.
Magic is a mundane thing here; it isnât mysterious or unusual.
Would there be some lee-way for new arrivals looking for a place to stay? Iâm not sure if the armoured characters can fit their armour in their packs, and carrying that and the weapons bundles seems like itâd be awkward.
You could get away with briefly being armoured on the way in; youâre obviously travellers, and dwarves get a bit of tolerance for being culturally weird. You want to look as non-threatening as possible, though; Hadaton guards can be a bit touchy.
Eoinâs brigandine is fairly subtle in appearance; like this:
(Brigandine appears at 3:00)
Soldiers will recognise it for what it is, though.
Thwip has many leaderly plans to lay out to the others in a leaderly manner, but his priority is to get his arm healed first. Fixing his rifle wonât matter much if he canât aim it. If Eoinâs hideout doesnât have one heâll suggest an alternative.
