Session 2: The Necromancer of Jacca's Ridge<br/>Mother Ormas of the Church of the Silent Storm currently is attempting to hunt down a stolen copy of the book Integration of Necromantic Energies Through Blood Magic Most Foul by Verlica Ignien.  She fears that the manuscript could fall into the wrong hands.  A thief fitting the description was last seen near Jacca's Ridge.  She will pay with favors and gold.<br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/11/d4/cc/11d4cc66fd62f24a6213348bfb996d9f.jpg)</div>After some time spend back in Heaford to recover, replenish supplies, re-arm, and pick up a couple more Delvers, the Company was ready to get back to work.  Mother Ormas was an odd woman to 'speak' with, the leader of the Church of the Silent Storm in Heaford and a handsome woman, though surreal in her silence.  She was young to hold the seat, but always remained regal and ready in her burnished gold armor and with her blade.  But besides the occasional errant creek of metal, she was silent.  Even as she wrote out her explanations of what was to be done, the quill made hardly a sound.  Before leaving the temple, upon each of the faces of the Delvers she traced the image of the storm.<br/><br/>The book in question, Integration of Necromantic Energies Through Blood Magic Most Foul by Verlica Ignien, was one that scholarly members of the Delvers Company would have heard of.  While there are some scholars who believe that it's use could greatly benefit normal casting the core of it related to darker things, creating energies that bring back a simulacrum of life.  Or, perhaps, actual life some few dare to say.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7e/bf/51/7ebf51c9227601cd0feb9f13319454e5.jpg)</div>Getting to Jacca's Ridge is difficult, but not impossible.  The thief that the Delvers were looking for was described as half-elven with a bit of blonde beard, thin, armored in black leathers, with a star shaped scar on his right hand.  That he'd been spotted near Jacca's Ridge was unusual, but not unheard of.  That he'd been identified and Mother Ormas had been contacted was a true strangeness.<br/><br/>The dusty red rock of Jacca's Ridge stirs and stings the eyes as wind gusts and the small community there tends to wear face and headwraps to keep themselves safe from the dust.  It is a small community, to be sure, and an insular one.  Mostly just a pitstop along the way to bigger communities, it subsists on mining and resources that can only be found in it's red sands.  There are no guards to prevent entrance to Jacca's Ridge, the people there more or less know how to defend themselves.  When the Delvers arrive, however, they find the few bustling streets to be suspicious of them, people moving quickly and leaving some space around the strangers.<br/><br/><strong>Delvers, Jacca's Ridge is an unwelcoming place.  There is a custom move here to find someone willing to talk with you about matters that could get them in trouble.</strong><br/>When you<em>seek assistance in Jacca's Ridge</em>roll with Charisma.  On a hit, you find someone willing to help you, tell us a thing or two about them (and if you feel like it, find a picture).  On a 7-9, they will demand something of you, perhaps something offered, but more likely a taste of your lips and stolen luck that comes from it.<br/><strong>Delvers, what do you do?</strong>
