Betwixt and Between (Magical Curio Shop Quest)

Reader mode
Okay, so we basically know what happened, but we still don't know the who or the why. Nor do we have a way to do anything about it.

I suspect the Books are stories of people with Wonderitems.
Whatever happened may have something to do with red strings and paper.

One interesting idea: Bloyse went to give that person The Raven Feathered Band. So he likely knew something about the Destiny of that person. Can we do anything to find out that sort of thing? Would that be in the Inventory?
It also seems likely that we really aren't safe here. Store security might not be enough if we have to venture outside the store. We'll need to get some tricks ready.

Interesting effect.
So it looks like the defences can be fooled by having a destined person, willingly or otherwise, sneak an intruder in.

We should see about getting Mahogany some protective gear. Amulet of Invulnerability would be nice.

Also, she did not want to abandon Bloyse here if he was alive, he was her master. Or maybe a co-worker? Not sure. But no one deserved to be attacked and hurt. Also, there was that bird she saw before. Maybe that was the first figure transformed? Maybe she could help them and find out more about what had been going on here.

Not terribly keen on picking a fight with someone who already successfully attacked the shop and killed/captured an experienced shopkeeper. Also doubt Bloyse is still alive given the BaB bonded to Mahogany.

The ones on the shelves were stories from far off lands, each about a young adventurer who finds a magical item of some kind and then goes on some sort of wild adventure.

A good set of rolls.
Although we have been getting fairly good progress out of safe failures.

I really don't want to venture out unarmed and unmagiced. Whatever happened took place some time ago. The situation is unlikely to deteriorate while Mahogany gets ready.

I suppose a gun would be out of the question.


Priority one is unlocking magic. Then finding or making some equipment suitable for going on a quest and learning what we are up against.

While risk it for the biscuit can't promise you much, it promises the excitement of going outside and touching... Whatever whimsical properties may be outside, and also meeting whatever monstrous entities exist, generally defenceless.

I think that Mirror Mirror has a talent in scrying, I think that we could use that right now.

That doesn't appear to be the case. I think the Wonder Forge helps us. @Wistways can you confirm?

It does require you to have a magic skill.
I really, really want your guys to experience and have a crafting session though. I'm going to give you the first item made with assistance from the wonderforge. It may take some energy but I'll allow it if a plan with it wins.
