# Session Start >*Having explored Wickermoor to some extent, we now find the party in Tolliver's Trading Post. Various nick-nacks and general goods adorn the shelves of the store. Tolliver says, "well, is there anything else I can do for you?" before gesturing to the many products that adorn his dusty shelves.* # Session Summary - The party started in Tolliver's, where they looked around a little bit, and didn't end up really getting anything there. They interact with tolliver a little bit, but not much beyond that. - They then go to the book store, where they check out a bunch of different books, including a book on the architecture of the building, from which they find out that there is an attic, but not a cellar, and that there possibly would be some interactions with gems in the way of sculptures and things of that nature. they find out that Eleanor is really not a follower of the old ways and she is much more reasonable and bookish. She thinks the rumors about the house are basically just ghost stories, and after some reluctance, eventually leaves a note for Cletus to come back some time in the folds of a ghost tour pamphlet that she got for him. They read some books on the old ways and what that is all about, and they learn that it is really a community like thing. eventually she relents to a good history check from Seraphine that leads to her revealing this parchment with cultlike symbols on there involving 4 separate stages of something going on. - They go to the alchemist, where they meet Morgan, who seems kinda crazy, and seems to be offering things at prices beyond what the party can spend at the moment. she seems very offended that they're not appreciative of the effectiveness of her alchemical creations in a village that thrives on snake oil. - The party heads up to the house, and they get somewhat accosted by some creepy old guy on the way up who basically screams at them about the queen and then runs away. - they encounter the family of caretakers, and there is a message sent from cletus to eleanor in the way of magic. - they finally get to the house and meet the crooked man. - somehow nobody investigates the paintings in the first room - lazulia leaves a gemstone in the empty eye of the peacock, and they're about to leave when Louis takes the bloodstone. - with a carefully crafted suggestion (seraphine), the party subdues the peacock without much incident before - THE OUIJA! IT WORKS! there were a number of questions posed to the board. Things that the party learned: - The name of the person they are speaking with is "Eustace"
