Friula Customs, Chest Delivery, and Library Plans
Quick recap
The party entered Friula, cleared customs with their trade goods and special chest, and delivered the iron chest to its contact in the city. They secured lodging at the Quiet Well with Mother Alice, gathered leatherworker leads, and planned a morning visit to the Great Library to research Shining Alder, lizard folk history, and a cult-linked portal tied to the stolen egg.
Summary
Friula arrival and customs
The group approached Friula and observed a heavily organized checkpoint at the city gates. Using proper paperwork and the codex fragment, they passed customs with their goods and chest.
City contacts and delivery
The party delivered the iron chest to an older warehouse contact. They reported prior attacks on the road, and the contact compensated them with 4 gp and a sealed note for onward delivery.
Inn and local leads
They identified the Quiet Well, run by Mother Alice, as their base in the city. Before settling in, they looked into local leatherworker leads and handled small logistics around clothing repairs and supplies.
Research agenda at the Great Library
With lodging secured, the party planned research for the next morning: Shining Alder, draconic transmutation, lizard folk history, and the mysterious portal symbol connected to the egg incident.
Notices and hooks
They also noted public notices, including a missing novice and a witness request, as possible future leads.
