TEAM GRAIL QUEST aka Thurvishar, Sabrina, Sara, Shiro, Frye Twins, Keith, Catra, Natasha (I think that's everyone currently?)
Grail update. I stopped being an idiot and figured out the receipt that was found at the island belongs to Ben Parsnip, one of the Apothecary's staff. Sabrina and I went hunting for clues magic-style this morning, and we have a bunch of new updates.
Ben was one of the people on the island, though he's only been once, hasn't gone back, and has no plans to go back. Ben gets migraines, which is why he had the potion receipt, he left it on the island by mistake.
He's a member of Silniara, but he doesn't have much in the way of magic, which is how he connects to the others (more on that below).
We found him through is social media, which is locked, but Sabrina got a look at his accounts. He's going to University in the fall to study sigil magic, which aligns well for someone who doesn't have a lot of raw power. He's got a pet carbuncle he's obsessed with, and his sister is Calliope Parsnip. If you're familiar with Silniara at all, shes one of their younger members to watch out for. They have high expectations for her future.
He doesn't know any of the other names of the people from the island, just vague descriptions and fake names.
Someone slipped him a note about the island meeting. He figures they heard him bitching about being low on power. The note is not still around. He destroyed it.
Mordred, Finn, Wulf, and Leanansidhe are the names the others are going by. Lea is apparently the only girl. All of the them are probably young (University age), all of them are relatively low on magic abilities, and all of them are very angry about it.
Mordred: knows blood magic, dark hair and eyes, pale skin
Finn: brown hair, hook nose, tall, seemed to know Mordred well
Wulf: long dark hair worn in a ponytail, nervous
Leanansidhe: curly blonde bob, couldn’t get in at Geliara, mostly back and forth between sad and angry
The people after the Grail are after power they don't have naturally, and they are willing to hurt people for it. Outlanders are on their list of targets. Might be top of that list.
Some possible new places to look would be Asetenarra, they specialize in blood magic. They're a pretty shy group but they might have some leads on low powered blood magic practitioners. Geliara might be willing to let us know of anyone in the right age range who applied and didn't get in a few years ago, depending on how we approach them. Vorerra could be a path to information, but that's potentially walking into more trouble.
