Jak and Squishy look over Midel’s research papers. The conjuration spells involved are ice darts (2nd lvl), summon undead II (2nd lvl), mage armor (1st lvl), and true casting (divination, 1st lvl). Jak offers the true casting spell to Erol for another spell called weapon shift. He copies the others into his spellbook. The thirst for arcane knowledge runs swiftly through the veins of true casters. Erol buys the originals for a small fortune.
Migi awakens in a soft bed. Aware that his surroundings have changed, he glances around for his gear. Solaera cheerfully enters and casts cure light wounds on him. Jak has retained Mary and Migi’s equipment for repairs...and anything of interest to him.
After paying off the gold debt to the Temple of Moradin, Jak visits Migi at the apartments. Jak subtly tries to interrogate Migi before he returns his belongings. Jak knows Migi’s studded leather is of finer quality and wants to know more. He casts minor repairs to mend the damaged armor. At length, Jak says he wants information on the thieves’ guild in town. Naturally, Migi plays innocent. Jak insists that he’s only in this for the money. He tasks Migi to find information on the thieves’ guild for him. [Oh, the irony grows! Now Migi has an excuse to point the finger at a scapegoat somewhere. Who in town could he throw into the furnace of swift justice? He’ll hold on to this cards for a fix.] Jak believes the thieves’ guild will have a large treasure horde and is willing to split the profits.
Solaera still doesn’t trust Migi completely. She casts detect evil before meeting Migi in the hallway. Migi is a shady lad, but he’s not evil character. Her detection reveals nothing. She talks with him for a bit more. Then he asks her out to lunch for graciously healing him. She accepts, goes back in her room, and casts detect chaos. Suspicion always tends to linger with lawful good priestesses. [Migi can hear her casting and suspects something is up.] When questioned about it, she says Jak just told her to do something for him.
Mary has raise dead cast upon her body. After an unpleasant revival the clerics heal her the rest of the way up. Weapon shopping takes the next priority. With the newly acquired funds she buys a dwarven-crafted bastard sword, very fine quality.
Elf accompanies Squishy to the temple for continued research. Squishy crosses divine spells that may also be cast by the arcane. He manages to find magic weapon, endure elements, resist energy, and shatter. Each will take at least 1 week to fully research, the last taking two.
Migi reports in to the Raven Robbers Guild and buys more supplies for the next venture.
