E-V.A.L.U.E-ating Eastern Locations

Thanks to Iluviel - @Atanen , Terry Hatchett - @Truecrawl , Wee Redheaded Olive from Den - @Carcharoth , Ivan Gorcher , Illuviel - @Istariel and Dharax - @Dharaxas for getting involved in Pedto alla Lungaravese - hunting down the Regal Herb to cure the unfortunate Tristan da Pra

Beseeched (and offered ample compensation) by Baciccia da Pra to find a cure for his petrifying son, our heroes scour the Old Town for the Minstrel Bafer, questioning stall owners and a bar full of the queens guard and local militia before eventually spotting a tail and chasing them down. Pietrasso, helper to Bafer, was convinced of their good intent and led them to the minstrel where they heard the ballad The Stone Beauty and deduced where to search for the Regal Herb and that they needed Holy Oil of Petruccio.

After procuring the only bottle of Holy Oil in town from the Tavern of the Two Grumbles owner at a high price, our heroes set off into the wilderness for the Holy Mountain at the centre of the Batta Forest. They rescued Volpone the Old Fox from the clutches of a band of bandit tabaxi before ascending the mountain to find and harvest the Regal Herb. The bandit tabaxi tracked them down and a brawl ensued on the top of the mountain before our heroes were victorious and settled in to distill down the Regal Herb and Holy Oil combination.

Returning to Pallazo da Pra they dosed Tristan and restored his stony flesh to fleshy flesh.

A grateful Baciccia gave them each 150gp. There was also the Necklace of Saint Giobatti, a charm against petrification according to Volpone.

Anyone who wants to add a write up of their adventure to the campaign log gets inspiration for their next Brancalonia adventure.
