First session was a blast!

Zolfatara says:

My faithful retainer Janet and I followed our new, shady druid "friend" to Penhaligon to meet a potential party in preparation for meeting a mysterious raven, Warrior To No Mortal Master. He's apparently to make a deal with us, one that he already made with the party I'm possibly joining.

There was a statue there of a rather impressive heroine named Morgan. An apple vendor charged me for three apples he shouldn't have even harvested yet to tell me about her, and he basically mouthed off about women being unable to be heroes. I obviously misheard him though, as when I asked him to repeat himself he went back to talking about apples. If I see him outside of civilization I'm going to punch him in his Adam's apple.

Oh, and the party I'm joining has died and come back and might be immortal? I don't know. I tried to ask them about that, along with their quests, but they gave me a jumble of things. We have to find one of the party member's cousins, gnomes are evil, and they're helping orcs of all things? Well, my cousin Kratr is rumored to have gone to Norwold maybe to join up with orcs, so I guess they're not all bad? Gnomes though... I know all about them. As I told the party, gnomes go crazy and they gnaw on your ankles like pomeranians. Especially those ones that hang out in people's gardens. Stalker behavior.

Anyway we set off to explore this gnomish dungeon. While camping outside overnight, I noticed a bunch of different owls perched in a tree some 40' away, about 20' up, all watching us intently. I awoke another party member, a cleric, and we went to investigate. When one of the owls began screeching, I ordered Janet to shoot it. The owls attacked us, but after a few minutes of fighting I was able to smack a bunch of them down and turn them into owl paste with my greathammer - Janet and the cleric helped! The cleric called on her Immortal, Halav, to drive the evil away, which is what made the owl screech to begin with! Good one, Halav! What did I ever do to you?

We then realized, after beating down owls, that there was some weird woman whispering in the party member's ear that was looking for his cousins. Gaviston? Gravelson? I'll ask him his name again later. Anyway, we almost killed the witch but she turned into an owl and flew away!

The next day, in the dungeon, we found the spiral stairs down which led to a door with no way to open it - trapped to drop a bunch of stones atop us, squashing us into paste like the owls, if someone pushes on it! We went outside while the thief worked, and looked around for clues or hidden entrances. I thought that some standing stones outside, with reliefs of trees on them, might be a clue to which pins in the door needed to be depressed and by how much, but I was barking up the wrong stone... uh, tree. They just represented the seasons, as the party had already figured out before.

After a while, I decided to call down and see if the thief needed any help. He ran up around that time by coincidence I guess, and said he had an idea(I knew I smelled smoke) and ran back off after getting some iron spikes off someone. Janet and I followed him down, when huge blocks fell, missing both of us by inches! Good one, thief!

Continuing to explore, we encountered some weird, fat-bellied zombies that explode if you dispatch them! The cleric drove a bunch off by calling to her Immortal - I guess that guy is good for something after all because it worked, and most of them ran away! Me and a couple others shoved the remaining zombie as far as we could so that our missile people could shoot it down without its bone and gore shrapnel injuring us or grossing us out!

Well, I wanted a challenge...!

One of the problems with being both a nerd and someone with a minor special interest in fragrance and perfume is that I put in a casual throwaway mention of someone's cologne and immediately went "wait what could that be" and proceeded to compile a list of options from MY OWN SAMPLE COLLECTION (bar Eau de Audacity which I've smelled but they didn't have a sample of when I went)

Anyway if anyone wants "warm amber" fragrance recs to imagine your character wearing to a gala, here you go, I've added descriptions but they're usually a vanilla, resin, and/or incense base with some kind of spice, tonka, leather or wood note as the focus (though there are a few surprises), and I've linked their Fragrantica pages for more detail! Several of these are cross-recommended for each other, so if you like one on the list it's worth checking out a couple of the others.

Penhaligon

The World According to Arthur (my all time favourite, wore this to my wedding reception)

Terrible Teddy (another favourite, amber incense and leather)

Eau de Audacity (bold, orange blossom, frankincense and pepper over vanilla and leather)

Le Labo

Vetiver 46 (woody with strong vetiver and spice notes, the vanilla and amber take a back seat)

Kuumba Made

Amber Paste [now discontinued] (Musc Rav's sneaky cheaper alternative; opens pine resiny but quickly settles into a gorgeous vanilla tonka blend that lasts AGES)

Amber & Sandalwood (similar to above with more wood and resin rather than sweet)

Frederic Malle

Musc Ravageur (complex head turner that opens with with lavender, bergamot, then shifts to clove and sandalwood on a vanilla tonka base)

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Gentle Fluidity Silver (beautifully blended juniper and nutmeg over bergamot, cedar and vanilla, a clean, woody amber)

Grand Soir (hits like vanilla bourbon, softens out as it goes; not for people who have sensitive noses or an aversion to boozy scents)

Diptyque

La Duelle (vanilla-forward with woody and spicy/smoky notes)

The dragon’s nostrils flare with smoke, but it’s sweet unlike the stories you’ve been told. Likewise, it’s not scalding but warm; akin to the days where you stand by the fire after spending the day trudging through crisp snow
