S: Devil's Food

## Session 4

[8:27 PM] DM: You can recognize the symbol on her tabard, a stylized blue and yellow H, as the Sovereign Host symbol.

[8:28 PM] DM: She's a stout dwarf woman with a wide smile between plump, rosy cheeks.  She’s got her red hair pulled back into a messy, thick braid that falls over chain mail armor with a blue and yellow stylized H on a tabard smeared with juices and flour.

[8:28 PM] DM: "Oh! More friends! Hello! My name is Gunnloda. Who are you and where are you from?"

[8:29 PM] DM: Brimeia and the woman you rescued from the goblins walk in as well, looking very confused.

[8:31 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steps back and away from the group to give herself some space. Her only response is to nod at Gunnloda.(edited)

[8:33 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Friendly bunch, I see. Well, Ravaphine and I were just looking here and found this." She holds out a piece of paper.

[8:36 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori sighs and steps forward to glance at the paper.

[10:28 PM] DM: Enna falls unconscious.

[10:30 PM] DM: Vegepygmy #3 is going to attack Gunnloda.

[10:31 PM] DM: It jumps on her and swipes at the cleric's neck. There's a spray of blood and Gunnloda falls.

[11:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori attempts to use her herbalism kit to stabilize Gunnloda.

[11:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda is stabilized.

[11:27 PM] DM: Enna's death save!

## Session 6

[10:33 PM] DM: The skeleton archer attacks Seirixori.

[10:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Was someone hurt?"

[10:37 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Just a bit," Seirixori grumbles and moves next to Gunnloda, "I'm in front of you."

[10:57 PM] DM: Gunnloda will cast Cure Wounds on the person who bumped into her. ((Heals Seirixori up to max.))

[11:16 PM] DM: Gunnloda reaches out and grabs hold of Seirixori. "Don't leave me, love. I can't see anything."

[11:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I'll stay near by, don't worry" and attacks the skeleton in front of her and Gunnloda. Uses Shillelagh on her quarterstaff .

[11:22 PM] DM: The quarterstaff shatters the bones of the skeleton, turning it to dust and broken dreams. ((You seem to notice bludgeoning weapons might do extra damage to bone.))

## Session 9

[9:18 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Good morning everyone. I brought someone new along. I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name."

[9:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Gunnloda!" Seirixori blurts out, glad to see her.

[9:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Hello, dear."

*[*12:40 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori paws at the bodies and then sits next to Gunnloda. Seirixori does a small roar at Brimeia because guess who can't talk.

*[*12:41 AM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak hands the scrolls to Seirixori

*[*12:41 AM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "You'll make better use of these than I...Oh wait"(edited)

*[*12:42 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori grabs it in her mouth and then nudges Gunnloda to hopefully convey to take it from her.

*[*12:42 AM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda takes them and pets the panther on the head.

*[*12:44 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori purrs at Gunnloda and pokes her bag trying to motion to put the scrolls there. She sniffs at Nolanos and waits but then nods.

## Session 10

[4:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori gags and coughs at the awful taste of the creature.

[4:19 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak offers her waterskin to Seirixori, "Fancy a palette cleanse?"

[4:20 PM] DM: Gunnloda looks over at the panther. "That probably didn't taste good, did it? Here." She pulls a hunk of dried meat from her bag and holds it out to Seir.

[4:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori gladly takes the meat from Gunnloda and awkwardly tries to drink the water offered as well.

[6:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori changes back into her regular form when they meet Gunnloda and Brimeia. "Are you alright?" She asks Gunnloda

[6:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda shrugs. "A little sore. I'll be glad to be back on solid ground."

## Session 11

[7:30 PM] DM: Gunnloda walks over with two tankards of ale and sets one down in front of Seirixori. "You look like you could use this."

[7:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori jumps a little, "Shit," she mutters before taking the drink and stares at it, "thanks." She only takes a small sip before setting it back down,  fiddling with the tankard. She opens her mouth to say something else, but can't seem to find any words.

[7:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Mind if I sit, dear? Or would you rather your space?"

[7:40 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori puts the tankard up to her mouth and takes a huge gulp, "You...uh you can sit."

[7:41 PM] DM: Gunnloda takes the seat across from her. "Was it the eye thing?"

[7:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Choking on her drink, Seirixori laughs, "No, no. I just...figured maybe Poni could help me out with something, however, as usual, he could not."

[7:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm not sure he could help you with anything. Do you need to talk to someone? I'm told I'm an excellent listener."

[7:47 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks over, cask in hand and sits down silently, takes a large swig of ale and sets the cask down slightly rougher than normal. After a moment she mumbles "s'rry t' interrupt"

[7:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori chews on her lip with her sharp teeth and opens her mouth to give a little insight but nearly bites her tongue when Urrak shows up, "Maybe some other time," she says while scooting as far back as she can.

[7:51 PM] DM: Gunnloda offers a sympathetic smile before turning to Urrak. "And you? D'you  need to talk about anything?"

[7:52 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I...It's nothing. All this teleportin just...I suppose I'm startin' t' feel the strain is all." She takes another swig

[7:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I can sulk elsewhere if ye were in the middle o' somethin'. Truly sorry for disturbin'." Urrak says, turning her head towards Seri towards the end

[8:07 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "No, it's fine. Misery and company and all that, right? There wasn't  much to say anyway, dead friends,  missing mother,  you know." She shrugs and then stares at the drink in confusion, realizing she definitely said far more than intended.

[8:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "That all certainly sounds like somethin' mate. Y'know we've all got problems, if ye like, ye air yours. Old friend of mine used t' say it 'elps."

[8:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Is there... does this always happen when you drink this stuff?" Seirixori asks, still looking at the drink she's been fiddling with.

[8:12 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "You must just be under a lot of stress, dear. I can get you water if you'd rather."

[8:13 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak laughs as well "In vino, veritas." She takes another swallow of ale

[8:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes, water, I like water." Seirixori looks at Urrak, "In what?"

[8:14 PM] DM: Gunnloda stands, pats Seirixori on the shoulder as she passes, and goes to get some water.

*[*8:15 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "In wine, truth. Though, this be ale."

*[*8:18 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* She nods but her eyes follow Gunnloda, "I don't think I like it very much."

*[*8:26 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "I don't blame ye. There's somethin' wicked about drink. But hey, who doesn't want a little bit of wickedness every now n' then?" Urrak finishes her cask and stands to refill. "Y' want anythin' from the back?"

*[*8:27 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda reappears with another plate piled high with different foods for the table and a mug of water for Seirixori.

*[*8:27 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Looks like I was beaten t' the punch. I'll be back."

*[*8:29 PM*]* DM*:* She sits, piles some of the roasted meat on top of a piece of bread, and starts eating.

*[*8:30 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Thank you, Gunnloda." Seirixori eagerly takes the water and food, "I think that taste from earlier is still flowing around. You're the best. " she says quickly, shoving a piece of food in her mouth to stop herself from talking.

*[*8:30 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles. "It's no problem, dear. Why didn't you just swipe it with your claws though?"

*[*8:33 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I was not thinking, to be honest. I hadn't really done that before."

*[*8:34 PM*]* DM*:* She laughs. "You were one of those kids that put everything in your mouth first, weren't you?"

*[*8:38 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I..." Seirixori thinks, a moment, "my mother used to tell me I'd bite someone's hand if it came near my face, so yeah."

*[*8:42 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "That's 'ow orc babies show affection" Urrak booms over Seri's shoulder as she puts down two full casks of ale. She grabs a bit of meat and quickly devours it, a small smile on her face as she chews

*[*8:45 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Varun probably thought otherwise when razor sharp teeth pierced his dragonborn tail." Seirixori chuckles a little sadly.

*[*8:46 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Friend of yours?"

*[*8:48 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "He was. Not really sure if he's alive to be honest. " she states, sitting up now and messing with a piece of food, not eating it.

*[*8:49 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "i'm sorry. That's never an easy thing to deal with."

*[*8:52 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori shrugs, "Probably better that I don't know." She rips the food she has but doesn't eat it. "So... where do you go when we're not all in this empty town?"

*[*8:55 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Where's home, you mean? Right now, a place called Forsa. Big town, bit bigger'n this one."

*[*8:57 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "What did ye do, before all this mess?"

*[*8:59 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Did? I serve the Host how I can. Usually it's by feeding people, especially those who can't feed themselves."

*[*9:01 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Suppose I should've gathered y' were a woman of the cloth. Apologies. When it comes t'all things divine I've little experiance."

*[*9:02 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles. "It's all right, dear. I'm not your average preacher."

*[*9:03 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Certainly th' first I've seen with a warhammer" she sips more ale and smiles(edited)

*[*9:04 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "It's good for tenderizing." She grins and winks.

*[*9:05 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "You're much nicer than anyone I've come across..." Seirixori pauses a moment, " You're all weirdly nice. "

[9:07 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'll take that as a compliment. 'Weirdly nice' is weirdly one of the kindest things any folk 've called me."

[9:08 PM] DM: Gunnloda doesn't know how to react to that so she just makes an 'aww' face.

[9:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "What do you do?"

[9:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Uh... well when Mielikki doesn't make me stay with the clan, I'm... searching for someone.  Definitely not as exciting."

[9:26 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Mielikki? That your... leader of some sort?"

[9:30 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She shrugs,  "No. Yes? She's goddess of the...forest? I've never actually asked but she gave me a place to stay when I didn't have one anymore so...i just check in with her sometimes." Seirixori rubs her collarbone. "I wouldn't go back if it weren't for her, honestly. The druid clan isn't very nice, even worse now that Unastine is on some mission for Her."(edited)

[9:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh! My apologies. I haven't heard of her."

[9:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry, but... you've met her?"

[9:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sounds right complicated. Though I imagine dealin' with literal gods would be..." Urrak finishes her cask and grabs  a link of sausage and a roll, "Gruumsh speaks t' me mum sometimes, in 'er sleep. Though I hear that's common for Fullbloods."

[9:40 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "That one I have heard of. Not one I think I'd like to meet."

[9:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I have. After some unfortunate circumstances, I was brought to her. I never got a  explanation other than she wished to 'aid' me. She kept me alive, but no one else. I was too angry at her for it then. Didn't want anything to do with her or the druids, but gets I am."(edited)

[9:45 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Sometimes your path chooses you, whether we like it or not."

[9:46 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Suppose that's a right tidy way t' put things."

[9:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If there's one thing I've learned in the last couple decades, it's that the gods are a confusing bunch."

[10:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Ignoring Brimeia, Seirixori turns to Gunnloda, suddenly remembering the tower from earlier. "I know I asked earlier, but are you sure you're ok? I didn't see it, but that height of falling doesn't look fun."

[10:05 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh, no, it knocked the wind clear out of me, but I healed it up all right. Nothing left of it but a bit of a crick in the back."

[10:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I'm glad," Seirixori mutters.

[10:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh, that reminds me. Here you are, dear..." She reaches in her pack and hands Seirixori the two scrolls Seirixori'd given her in panther form. "I'm afraid I couldn't read them."

[10:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh! Thanks, I forgot about these." Seirixori opens one to see if she can read them.

[10:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Just missing my mom back home, so I was wondering if any of you were also missing your loved ones"

[10:52 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Nope." Seirixori says, shoving the fruit in her mouth.

[10:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Not that I'm missing, exactly. Haven't seen my folks in years. Should probably visit sometime."

[10:57 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steals whatever ale is closest to her and drinks the whole thing, "I thought we were done with the family talk." She hiccups, having drank the ale way too fast.

[10:58 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh dear... are you sure you want to... maybe water?"

[10:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ha. That's the spirit!" Brimeia chuckles

[10:59 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Now it's a party"

[10:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Doesn't have to be family. Could be friends too. Or animals" Ravaphine makes her way to the bar and avoids eye contact with the dwarf while she grabs a few cups of water and hands one to Seirixori(edited)

[11:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Nope, those are all dead too." Seirixori looks at Gunnloda, "you're pretty. But I think maybe ale works better with family talks. I tried to leave and I came back. Why did I come back?"

[11:02 PM] DM: Gunnloda makes the 'aww' face again. "Come sit down before you fall over. You should probably eat too."

[11:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I don't think I've ever seen such a lightweight Tiefling" Urrak chuckles

[11:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori shrugs and does as Gunnloda says, "I've only done this once. Once? Yes, it was a Bad Time."

[11:05 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Done... what? Drinking?"

[11:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes. Drinking. After they all died."

[11:06 PM] DM: Gunnloda sets a couple of biscuits in front of Seirixori with a mug of water.

[11:12 PM] DM: Gunnloda sort of leans over and encourages Seirixori to eat some of the biscuits.

[11:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, more food, ok." Seirixori starts picking them apart, only eating small bits of it, not really noticing that she's pretty much destroying them with her fidgeting.

[11:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Stuff. Im gonna go lie down i think. Maybe Urrak and Gunnloda can fill you in." She stands a little wobbly but makes her way up the stairs to the first free bed she can find.

[11:26 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm going to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. I'll be back soon." She follows Seirixori up, making sure she doesn't fall down the stairs.

[11:42 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "That's a point." Martyn finishes his pint. "Might be we get permission more easily if the right person asks. We oughta ask Gunnloda."

[11:43 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Seems like a sound plan to me"

[11:46 PM] DM: Gunnloda does come back down after several minutes, sits back in her seat, and takes another drink of her ale.

[11:47 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Gunnloda! Friend. you hungry? Thirsty? need a refill?"

[11:48 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "No, dear. I've got plenty."

[11:48 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Ah. well. that's quite alright." Martyn gives up. "Look, we had a proposition we wanted to put to you."

[11:49 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles.  "There hasn't been enough propositioning tonight?"

[11:50 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Not that kind of proposition." martyn shakes his head. "Honest. it's something that me, Enna, and urrak were discussing earlier."(edited)

[11:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda reaches out to the platter and takes some of the soft cheese to spread on a biscuit. "I'm listening."

[11:54 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Seirixori is good people. she takes care of us. And she opened up a bit tonight about what's driving her. And how Poni could help her find her mum. we want to help, too."

[11:56 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Helping a friend is a kind gesture."

[11:57 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "We'd need her bow. and given how much she drank tonight, there's a better'n fair chance that if we asked outright, she'd turn us down flat. But, if someone a bit closer to her asked the same question, offered to help. she might be wiling. that's why i'm talking to you."

[11:59 PM] DM: Gunnloda raises an eyebrow. "You think because a woman got drunk and called me pretty I'm any closer to her than the rest of you? Besides, didn't she say she tried to use the bow, but Poni couldn't do it?"

[12:00 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "She said that she feared she'd held on to it too long, meaning whatever Poni could divine from it in the form of tracking was limited. I didnt get that she'd actually tried outright already."

[12:04 AM] DM: Gunnloda thinks for a moment. "I don't really remember what she said, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable asking. If she wants to try, she can try. Honestly, I think I'll probably try to forget everything she said tonight unless she says it again sober. Doesn't feel right to hold a drunken tongue against her."

[12:05 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "You've a point." Martyn nods. "Thought i'd try anyway."

[12:08 AM] DM: She nods at Martyn. "You can try just letting her know that you'd help her if she decided to take action herself. No need to be sneaky about it."

[12:09 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "I'll bear it to mind, certainly," martyn lifts his tankard. "Thanks."

[12:32 AM] DM: She smiles, stands, fills a mug with water and takes it and a biscuit upstairs to leave by Seirixori for when she wakes up in the morning.

## Session 12

You also witnessed a very drunk Seirixori whose loosened tongue spilled her secrets about a missing mother (as well as a possible fancy for a certain dwarven cleric). Seirixori also finds a biscuit and a mug of water on the table next to the bed where she slept.

[8:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori wakes slowly, instantly regretting it because she does remember everything and a very large part of her wishes that she'd poofed back to her home instead of waking up in this unfortunate place. She notices the bit of food and water and sighs as she slowly eats it, "What are the odds they'll either all be poofed or pretend I didn't say anything," she mumbles to herself.

[8:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori finishes and makes he way downstairs slowly, she finds her way to the people she recognizes and sits, keeping her head down a little, "morning."

[8:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda puts a plate of breakfast and a mug of cider in front of Seirixori. "Glad to see you're up and about."

[8:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thank you," she says quietly, ignoring the food for now and fiddling with the mug.

[8:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Are you feeling any better today?" he asks Seirixori(edited)

[8:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She slowly nods, "Yeah, I think so."

[8:26 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "well that's good"

[8:28 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If you need an ear, we're here for you."

[8:28 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos nods in agreement

[8:29 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori puts the mug up to her lips and slides down a little in her seat, "Yeah, ok." she mutters into the drink. Still not at all comfortable with what happened and wondering why she did it considering she hadn't known these people more than 3 days.

[8:31 PM] DM: A woman in plain clothes steps into the Cask looking very confused and Gunnloda smiles at Seirixori. "Take your time. Let me know." Then she heads over to the new person to get them situated.

## Session 14

[12:40 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "Did everyone make it out ok? I only see you returned."

[12:41 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "Thanks." Nolanos sighs,"It was an.. educational experience, at least. And yes, we all made it out in one piece. Urrak has gone upstairs to rest and Seirixori.. I'm not sure where she went. Probably that citrus grove we found her in earlier this morning."

[12:43 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "Poor thing's been under a lot of stress, I think."

[12:57 AM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori stumbles her way in, she sees familiar faces and just wants to turn back but she's hungry. Far hungrier than she thought, so she sits down near them, head held low and mutters, "hey."

[12:58 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "Hey.."

[12:59 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "Are you... that's... a lot of blood."

[1:01 AM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah...pretty sure it's all mine," Seirixori nods, "can I-- is there something to eat?"

[1:01 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "Of course, dear."

[1:01 AM] DM: She goes off to find food and water.

## Session 15

You all start finding yourself drawn to the common area of the Cask, tempted by the mouthwatering smells of Gunnloda’s cooking.(edited)

[8:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori wakes in the Citrus Grove, groaning. She's used to sleeping in the woods but everything aches and she regrets not going back to a bed. Her stomach growls and she knows she should eat,  she really isn't up to it, but she heads to the Cask anyway.  Once there she sets herself at the bar and rests her head on her arms. "Ugh everything hurts."

[8:58 PM] DM: She loads up a platter with the spiced meat, some bread, cheese, and fruit and sets it on the bar for the both of you.

[8:59 PM] DM: She tilts her head to try to get Seirixori's attention as she also pours a mug of water. "You need anything else, dear?"

[9:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori shifts her head to look at Urrak and Gunnloda, "Hello," she mumbles, taking a small piece of meat and taking the smallest of bites, not sure her stomach can handle it .

Urrak takes a large bite of bread and cheese before she continues "As long add ye learned something from it, y' never really make mistakes. "

[9:11 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'll drink to that."

[9:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak timidly (for a very large person) places a hand on Serixiori's shoulder "We got yer back y'know. We're all in this clusterfuck together."

[9:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori sniffs a little, "Thanks...." She fiddles with a cup, "I should probably not make a decision like that by myself... I just..." she sighs and shrugs. "too many dead I guess."

[9:16 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If you need to talk about it, I'm always willing to listen."

[9:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Kind of wish I missed it." Seirixori sighs, "I'm not entirely sure that was the right choice. My ..." she pauses, hesitant, mostly because she's never told anyone before, "My ... family, I guess you could call them, were killed by a bunch of bandits. I just saw all those lizardfolk dead and well... I didn't pay attention to the people who were dead until it was too late."

[9:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda reaches over the bar and puts her hand on Seirixori's. "It's a hard place to be in."

[9:39 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori blushes faintly at Gunnloda and clears her throat, "It's...frustrating, I haven't found too much on them and I don't know if... well, I guess I'm still angry about it."

[9:41 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "You said they were all killed... what do you mean 'found'? Are you looking for them?"

[9:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She reaches for a piece of bread and starts picking it apart, "they killed everyone, except my mother and her friend, a blue dragonborn. She gave me the bow I have before making me hide in the woods... they were looking for her." She shrugs, "they just... they had her but killed everyone anyway." Seirixori wipes at her nose.

[9:46 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Despicable... have ye any leads? Anythin at all?"

[9:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Not really, I remember going back and taking the flag," she spits out, angry again, " they left but I don't know what happened to it after I got taken in by the druids." She shrugs, "I meant to ask the leader but then all this started happening and she'd gone on a mission of sorts and she kind of refuses to bring it up with me."

[9:50 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Was your mom a druid too?"

[9:52 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori laughs, "No, goddess no. She was...is a well-known rogue back where I live. She wanted to train me to be one or a ranger but I think I was too clumsy for that." she looks at the shredded bread, "still kinda am." she pouts a little.

[9:54 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Maybe the gods just had better plans for you."

[9:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Don't fret too much about that.  Yer clumsiness is endearing in a way" Urrak chuckles a bit but soon turns slightly somber "if only there was some kinda magic y' could use t' find her... like how Poni can find bits of his contraption.

[9:56 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "One certainly seems to," she mutters into some meat that doesn't bother her as much as it did on her first taste.

[9:57 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I did ask him. He said something about how long it had been," she chews her lip and then shrugs, "so I didn't bother."

[9:58 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "It's worth a shot though, isn't it? If... you want to find her, anyway."

[9:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye. Any means necessary. "

[10:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori just shrugs, not really sure she wants to tell them she's scared of the answers. "Not sure I want to be indebted to Poni."

[10:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "That phantom in a stick is already indebted to us.  Ain't like the man's got legs to walk on and arms t' swing a sword with these days. " Urrak drains her flagon. "We're stickin our necks out"(edited)

[10:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Mm, maybe...maybe another time though, not really feeling up to it today."

[10:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "It's your life, dear. Do with it what you think is right."

[10:07 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye. And who could blame ye. Not every day y'come back from the dead. "

[10:08 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Wait, wait, you died?"

[10:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "not exactly? Would have, but our lizardfolk friend was a fellow druid, might have not made it without him, really." she grimaces.

[10:12 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sometimes magic ain't so bad"

[10:13 PM] DM: Gunnloda frowns again. "Wish I'd been there with you all."

[10:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, I should hang back more if you are not with us. I realized too late that I was the only one of us that could do a little bit of healing."

[10:19 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Leave the heavy liftin' t' me an Brimea. Can't have ye wastin' ur talents lyin' on the floor." Urrak smiles softly. "I'm only person, and that means i can't defend ye all the time but... I'll do my best next time we find ourselves in a pinch.  You just gotta be a bit more careful. Even Tieflings can get knocked about"

[10:20 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Do you know how many more components there are? How many  more of these trips need to be made?"

[11:44 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Well if you all are getting yourselves in another mess, I'm coming along to make sure you come back."

[11:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thank you!" Seirixori nearly shouts.

## Session 16

[9:31 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Are you sure we wouldn't rather tackle it in the morning after a full night's rest?"

[9:31 PM] DM: She's still looking at where Seirixori had gone, worried.

[9:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seir heads down and picks at some food while waiting.(edited)

[9:43 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Morning, dears. You're looking much better, Seirixori."

[9:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thank you, I'm not entirely sure I feel 100% but it's something."

## Session 17

Now that she's closer, you can see that while she wasn't hit during the battle that you remember, she does have a bit of a shiner growing.

[8:30 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Gunnloda, what happened? That wasn't there before." Seirixori says, still tugging at the collar.

[8:30 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "So how do we get out of here?"

[8:31 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "You all passed out and I was gooified, so they clapped us in irons." Brimeia shrugs like it's obvious.

[8:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I may have objected a little too strongly at being stripped of my armor and clothes. I'm not sure how to get out, but I did notice that the lady we came for is right over there." She nods in Moonstream's direction.

[8:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I was going to go say hi, but... I didn't want to leave you alone."

[8:33 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thanks," Seirixori turns to Urrak to hide her reddening face, "Let me just try..." Seirixori attempts to use healing word.

[8:37 PM] DM: Gunnloda glances over her shoulder to make sure Seirixori is coming along too.

[8:39 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori just continues to tug at the collar, silently freaking out, but follows.

Seirixori: "I'd like to think so, Gunnloda's super nice," She points to Gunnloda and then Urrak," and she gave me something really cool. And I'd really like to get this collar off, so yes, help would be great," Seirixori bends lower, so she's a little more even with Stool, "I can totally get the big red one to hit whoever is mean to you."

Another drow steps in and leads Jimjar, Gunnloda, and Eldeth away. Gunnloda looks back at Seirixori with a sad look before being prodded along.

[10:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, that's... new." Seirixori blushes watching Gunnloda and the rest leave.

The door opens and Stool, the fishman, and Eloise enter, followed by Jimjar, Gunnloda, and Eldeth. Seems everyone's back... except Seirixori.

[11:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Where's Seirixori?"

## Session 18

[9:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori falls to the ground on her back and starts laughing, "I can't believe that worked," then she bursts into tears.

[9:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "You saved us. Why are you crying?"

[9:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I almost died again, there were spiders, I'm pretty sure Ravaphine saved my ass, even though she's been unconscious this entire time, I almost got her killed trying to save her, and I think I might actually just want to go home for once." She says quickly, barely breathing through it all. "Please shut up, Brimeia. And look all your stuff is here." She motions weakly towards where she left the chest.(edited)

[9:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda frowns. "What's wrong with her?"

[9:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori scratches at her neck, and using her other hand to wipe her tears, "I don't think I can move, everything is shaking." Seirixori lifts her hand and it is indeed shaking. "Can we just not go anywhere to get ourselves killed for like two days."(edited)

[9:25 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I wish I could help you, dear, but I used all my magic for the day." She rummages around in the chest and finds some clothes for you though.

[9:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori waves her hand at Gunnloda, "I'm ok, I think that was just too much adrenaline, that was way too nerve-wracking."(edited)

[9:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda blinks a bit and blushes.

[9:29 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "You ok, buddy?" Seirixori asks Stool, but is looking at Gunnloda curiously.

[9:34 PM] DM: Stool: "Um... where are we?"

[9:35 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Not where we were, I think that's the important bit." Seir mumbles, she turns to her side, "Gunnloda, can you hand me my cloak? I think that's all I can manage right now."(edited)

[9:38 PM] DM: Gunnloda hands Seirixori her fancy cloak.

[9:38 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thank you," Seirixori takes it and sits up, draping the cloak over herself. "Are you feeling ok?"

[9:39 PM] DM: She nods, but she looks like she might be embarrassed? Kind of avoiding eye contact.

[9:41 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Are you sure?" Seirixori mumbles, struggling to her feet.

[9:42 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Yes... just some thoughts that weren't supposed to be mine while we were there."

[9:42 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'll be fine in time, dear."

[9:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ok..." She hesitantly pats Gunnloda's shoulder and stumbles a little as she stands. Once she gets her bearings she goes to the chest and her stuff and starts rummaging to look for the extra things she found.

Seirixori: "Gunnloda! Thanks for always feeding us" Seirixori grins, and takes a bite, almost choking on her food, "your stuff is a lot better than this though," she mumbles through the food.

Stool: "I wish Eldith came with us too, but I like you all much better than the people before. And there's someone like Eldith here too!"

[11:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, she's my favorite," Seirixori whispers to Stool.

## Session 20

[6:06 PM] DM: DAY 6 7 AM BELLBURY TIME

Baroness Moonstream has asked you all to go arm yourselves with whatever you need from the smith and the general store and to please seek out the components, but she does want to look in on her family to make sure they aren’t in immediate danger. For now though, you're waking up in the Cask and stumbling downstairs to find Gunnloda already bringing breakfast out.

[6:07 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "How early do you get up?" Seirixori says, yawning and plopping onto one of the bar seats.

[6:08 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "Before the sun, most days. How did you sleep?"

[6:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Gross," she shrugs and shifts uncomfortably, "I... not well."

[7:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori pokes at her food, the nights events come back to her, she really wants to ask Gunnloda a question but she doesn't want everyone else to know. "This was not how the morning was supposed to go."

[7:33 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh! Gunnloda, have you seen Stool?"

[7:34 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Yes, dear. He's downstairs in the cellar. I set him up with a pile to... use."

 Seir and Stool/Gunnloda

[7:51 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "ok well, I gotta ask Gunnloda something, and then maybe go see about some new clothes. See ya, Stool!" Seir heads back up and looks around for Gunnloda.

[7:52 PM] DM: Stool: "Bye!"

[7:52 PM] DM: Gunnloda's actually still in the Cask, cleaning up a bit before she goes to catch up.

[7:53 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, good, you're still here and no one else is. Uh, I think I asked before but so you... Have you ever talked to a god or goddess?

[7:56 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Personally? No. I mean... I sometimes 'talk' to them, but not like I'd talk to you or someone else."

[8:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh... Is it not normal? Like is it strange for someone to do that?"

[8:05 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Well, I mean they don't usually answer, do they? Through our powers, maybe, but they don't often just... show up to chat. Not that I've heard, anyway."

[8:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Uh, so then having talked to two of them... Might be something not to mention to most people?"

[8:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I serve nine of them and have never met one."

[8:09 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Nine? Holy hells. So um, that grove is... It's a goddesses Grove? Anyway, would that be paladin be a better person to ask, you think?"

[8:09 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "To ask about what?"

[8:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She shrugs, "What they want? I don't know, I don't know why they keep taking to me, they don't make any sense."(edited)

[8:11 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "Maybe they just like talking to you? Have you asked why?"

[8:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori blushes, "Maybe not in those exact words. I'm not... I mean... But"

She throws up her hands in frustration, "people talking to me is weird, I don't understand."

[8:14 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "What's so weird about it?"

[8:17 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "That it happens?" She shrugs, "People usually ignore me or yell at me for well," she motions to herself and her horns.

[8:19 PM] DM: She tilts her head in sympathy. "You must've had a rough time where you come from. But look around here... everyone's a little different, aren't they? I mean that Cole! And Brimeia? Anyone who spends time with you can tell you're worth talking to."

[8:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ugh, my two favorites." Seirixori runs her eyes, failing at hiding the red in her cheeks, "I guess." she sighs, "thanks Gunnloda. Did you want to join us for our 'shopping'?"

[8:25 PM] DM: "It's no problem, dear. My ear's always available. I don't think I need supplies, but I will come with you if you're going to be heading to Poni's. Don't want you getting in trouble without me."

[8:26 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I wouldn't dream of it," she laughs and heads out to where Ravaphine and Urrak went.

[8:52 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Well, it seems rather important to ye since y' carry it with ye most of the time. Tell ye what, we can take it t' Poni's and leave it there for safe keepin'"

[8:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori huffs, "Fine." she grabs the bow, holding it tightly in her hand, and throws Poni into her pack and walks out.

[8:55 PM] DM: Gunnloda gestures to the others and follows her.

[9:01 PM] DM: Gunnloda follows Seirixori closely, offering support even though she knows she won't talk.

[9:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori rolls her eyes and takes Poni and chucks him in the direction of the basement, watching where he lands so she can grab him when they get closer.

[9:01 PM] DM: Poni: wilhelm screams

[9:02 PM] DM: Gunnloda shakes her head. "Are you ok?"

[9:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I was fine, until they made me take this." Seirixori says only loud enough for Gunnloda. "He kind of deserves it anyway."

[9:04 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If you don't want to carry it, don't."

[9:04 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak scrambles and picks up Poni "Quit screamin' ya dang stick"

[9:04 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Seirixori, what in the nine hells has gotten into ye?" Urrak turns to her with Poni in hand

[9:05 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Something seems like it has been bothering you lately"

[9:06 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "besides Poni of course"

[9:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "He was fine, I was going to get him." she says. "He annoyed me."

[9:06 PM] DM: You reach the basement soon enough. The portal base is there, deactivated as usual.

[9:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Poni annoys all of us, but we can't afford t' be throwin' him around. Yer not the only one who wants t' get home, y'know. We all want this madness t' stop so we can get back to our normal lives!"

[9:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori looks down, annoyed that she can feel tears burning, "Yeah, sorry." she says, setting the bow on the first thing she can find.

[9:10 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks up to Seirixiori taking advantage of her minor height difference to look all the more intimidating "The sooner we get these pieces, the sooner I can be rid of ye." she looks down at Seirixiori for a second and walks off towards the  platform . "Let's get on with it"

[9:12 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine places her hand on Seirixori's shoulder. "I'm sure she didn't mean it. We are all getting a little antsy now, but we'll fix things soon"

[9:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, okay." Seir mutters, still staring at the ground. She faces away and wipes at her eyes, "so much for that."

[9:16 PM] DM: Gunnloda puts her hand on Seirixori's back. "We all get mad and make mistakes. It doesn't change anything."

[9:17 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "It usually changes everything."

[9:32 PM] DM: You screw it back together and immediately Poni's voice fills the air. "HOW DARE YOU. DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN."

[9:32 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori groans, "Great. He's alive, yay."

[9:34 PM] DM: Gunnloda frowns. "Can I talk to you a moment, Seirixori? While Lady Moonstream here finds her family?"

[9:35 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I... yeah, sure, Gunnloda."

[9:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "We'll catch up if you go on without us." She leads Seirixori back upstairs to talk.

[9:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda stops near the top of the stairs and waits with a frown.

[9:37 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori nearly runs into Gunnloda as she heads up, still looking at the ground. "Sorry."

[9:38 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "What's going on?"

[9:40 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori fidgets and takes a deep breath, holding it for a good few seconds before letting it out slowly, "I used Poni last night to... well to check the bow. I don't know, I'm not usually this angry but... with everything lately." She shrugs, "I don't know."

[9:41 PM] DM: Gunnloda steps forward and puts her hand on Seirixori's arm. "What you saw upset you? Was it your mother?"

[9:43 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Poni didn't really help, neither did Takara... the goddess who's temple is here, and her citrus grove. They make me feel very stupid..." she says quietly. "And no, it... it wasn't my mother I saw, nothing of what I saw made any sense."

[9:46 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "You're not stupid. That gnome is smart, but he's... very rude ... and, well, she's a goddess. She's going to be smarter than people like us. You're better than this, Seirixori. I know you are. I know you wouldn't have broken Poni on purpose and ruined your friends' chances of going home."

[9:52 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I'm sorry, you probably want to go home to, huh?"

Gunnloda: "Oh, I'm happy to travel from place to place. Haven't really called anywhere home for long, but it's not me I'm thinking about."

She wipes at her eyes, annoyed at the tears, "I don't know how to deal with any of this. I'm angry and it feels like it's at everything. I don't..." she sighs, "Sorry, I'm just... sorry. Do, do you think Urrak'll stay mad at me?"(edited)

[9:54 PM] DM: "It's ok to be angry... you just have to find better ways to let it out. And no, I don't think she'll hold a grudge for long. She's just upset too."

[9:55 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "And I'm going to keep offering to listen if you need it. There's a lot going on and sometimes talking can help."

[9:58 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Thanks..." she clears her throat and shifts nervously, "and what about you? I mean, I know I'm younger than everyone, I think, but I can listen too. For you... if you want." she finishes lamely.

[10:00 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "Thank you. If I need to, I'll come to you. Are you feeling better now?"

[10:02 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori shrugs, "In a matter of speaking, I guess... more sad than angry, so yay?" She laughs a bit, "Nothing unusual."

[10:03 PM] DM: Gunnloda rubs Seirixori's arm. "We'll figure it all out, ok? We just have to adapt."

[10:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, ok." Seir clears her throat, "should we go back?"

[10:06 PM] DM: "If you think you're all right to. I don't want them dying because I wasn't there to help."

[10:07 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "They might die without the both of us," Seirixori jokes. "I'll be ok. Come on," She heads back down to the basement.

[10:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda follows.
