At Arm’s Length
Day 1, Month 6
The Cog and Sprocket
Sav knocks on Sal’s door and asks to examine his arm, having never seen a prosthetic quite like it before. They’re impressed at the craftsmanship of it, and Sal reveals that it was built by his wife Ori, and that the town he now calls home, Kendall’s Forge, is known for its uniting of beauty and craftsmanship, as well as its regular cycle of Returns. Sav asks if she can accompany him on his next trip home, as she’s fascinated by the sound of the place; Sal declines, as he doesn’t trust her enough yet to bring her to his wife and child. Sal learns that Sav learned magic through reverse-engineering what she found in some aasimar ruins, and that Isendel was not a friendly place to magic, but now no longer exists. Sal shares that Hark’ul also came from Lux. They speak a little on the propensity of stories to warp over time, with regards to whether the aasimar were truly any better than the angels or what the illithid would have to say about the ancient war; Sav is defensive, but begrudgingly grants the point. Then Sal threatens them against plagiarizing his arm, before offering to perhaps arrange a meet with Ori, should his wife be interested.
