Summary

Here we are, in the City of Sigil. Traveling to the plane of water is simple, although traversing through it will be a bit difficult. Oh, I suppose breathing is important too. All the equipment we need will take a few days to forge, so we stay in Struquin's home for the time being.

I'm not in the mood to research spells tonight. Yes, it happens sometimes. Michael leaves to go tithe to his church or something (Why doesn't he buy new equipment with that much money? Is it status? Pride?) And Querca goes to the temple of cute bunnies Ehlonna. The rest of us head to the local bar. Sil's suggestion of course.

Struquin pays for our mead and mingles with many people here. He's definently local. Michael is of course oblivious to all the women cooing after him. Even after Sil drags him onstage he doesn't notice. He needs to live a little (irony! I made a funny) so I tell one of the girls that he's still recovering from The Incident. The Incident left a hole in his heart, that only love can fill. Of course she left Michael her address. Michael's confused from it all (and he thinks The Incident is that Other Incident) but oh well.

Sil drank herself silly. She managed to go through a drink list and won a trashy crown. She also handled several drunk men while under the influence. They couldn't lay a finger on her of course; they couldn't lay a finger on Michael. Hmpf, they couldn't even lay a finger on Ellowyn (although he did raise his Mage Armor first.) Ha. It was a good night to feel superior.
