Session 18

Back - Next

This session was played on September 9, 2017. It lasted exactly five hours.

## Synopsis

Brimeia’s attempt to get the prisoners into a fight and riot goes off. Brimeia steals a shortsword and some of the drow get pushed off the ledge into the spider webs below. Brimeia also kicks another one off the ledge.

Seirixori spends some time running around as a rat, manages to crack open the chest holding Poni, take everyone's stuff back to the basement, and return to save the rest of the party. Seirixori arrives from her solo-escape just in time to catch an unconscious Ravaphine with her Thorn Whip when she’s nearly pitched over the edge of the bridge. With Rav in hand, everyone touches along with Eloise and Stool and everyone arrives back in Poni’s basement.

Rav wakes up and Gunnloda and Urrak lose their respective madnesses. Seir heads out to the grove with Stool, but they don’t like the open sky and sunlight, so they wind up going back to meet the others in the cask.

Cyan helps the rest of the gang out of their chains and everyone pretends to not be bothered by Stool eating.

## Transcript

[6:43 PM] DM: DAY 5, 11:20AM BELLBURY TIME, Velkynvelve

You were on a quest to save Baroness Moonstream, or Eloise as she said, from apparent captivity. When you poofed into the area, however, Urrak and Gunnloda were both afflicted with some sort of madness and you were attacked by drow and their quaggoth servants. Now you’ve come to realize you’re stuck in some sort of prison, but rather than “prisoner,” the drow call you “slave.” Of course… you wouldn’t know any of what they say if it weren’t for the friendly myconid child Stool who has given you all telepathic spores so you can understand each others’ languages. There are several others also imprisoned here. You’ve met Buppido, a derro who claims to have a divine plan. Prince Derendil, an exiled elven prince trapped in a quaggoth’s body, Eldeth, a dwarf from Gauntlgrym, Jimjar, a deep gnome with an affinity for gambling, Ront, a full-blooded orc who hates dwarves, and Sarith, an emo drow as though there were any other kind. There are also two twin deep gnomes by the name Topsy and Turvy, and a kuo-toa aquatic fish-man.

After being stripped of all your possessions and your armor and clothes, you were chained and led to the slave pens. You learned that there are 19 (18?) drow and at least a dozen quaggoth in the prison, there’s a few guard towers scattered along the ledges that make up the prison high above the cavern floor, and there’s some sort of anti-magic field inside the slave pen. You also know there’s a river/pool/waterfall that goes through the cavern below, and that the commander/mistress recently took a new lover/lieutenant after the previous one was mauled.

[6:43 PM] DM: Shortly after talking to some of the other prisoners, everyone was grouped up and sent to various places under guard to do chores. While cleaning the mistress’s room, Seirixori heard Poni’s voice coming from a large chest and panicked, causing the guard to think there was an earthquake. He evacuated the tower and Seirixori changed into a rat and hid, trying to find a way to free Poni. When the rest of the prisoners gathered in the pens, Gunnloda noticed Seirixori’s absence and Urrak and Brimeia started a fight to try to break out and help find Seirixori (The Continuation of Seirixori's Crazy Plan).

[6:43 PM] DM: The rest of you are making a ruckus and stage-fighting to cause the drow to intervene. They did so, but behind a wall of quaggoth blocking your escape.

[6:58 PM] DM: Ok. In here, Ront is following Urrak's directions. He successfully chucks Urrak into the quaggoths, knocking Kevin and Joe over... then she disappears. Everyone's startled. The drow start shouting orders to stand down, break it up, find the one who disappeared, and how the HELLS did she do that even though there's an anti-magic field??

[7:09 PM] DM: Do you have a plan?

[7:10 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (not really lmao. but i'm trying?)

[7:18 PM] DM: I want to say that if you're 'in' an anti-magic field, even if the effect is outside it, it still doesn't work.

[7:19 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (ohhh right. i forgot about that. dang)

[7:24 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia, used to the abrupt teleportation, only pauses for the barest of seconds before she reacts. "Jump them and take their weapons! Stool, help me tell everyone else!"

[7:25 PM] DM: Ok! Roll initiative.

[7:27 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((15))

[7:29 PM] DM: Ok! So... Baroness Moonstream gets to go first and she basically runs over and tackles Kevin and Joe to keep them on their backs. The elf prince in a quaggoth's body rushes Bo. Then it's your turn.

[7:33 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (Do the drow have their weapons out?)

[7:34 PM] DM: They do have their crossbows in hand. They also have shortswords on their hips and their bolts in a quiver on their backs.

[7:38 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (Kevin, Joe, and Bo have no weapons, huh?)

[7:38 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia runs up to where Lady Moonstream and Elf Prince are.

[7:38 PM] DM: They do not.

[7:38 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (ok that's all i can do then, I think)

[7:40 PM] DM: Ok! Buppido will rush the entry too. More bodies can't hurt. Jimjar will as well, shouting "Bet you a gold I kill one first!"

Sarith is standing off to the side and Stool slowly makes his way toward the door. One of the drow fires a bolt at the quaggoth attacking Bo.

[7:40 PM] DM: But misses because of course he does.

[7:41 PM] DM: The kuo-toa stays put, but Gunnloda rushes the drow.

[7:41 PM] DM: Bo attacks Derendil back, Ront joins the party, and you get a couple more bolts fired at you (and I'm trying to speed this up so it isn't just me playing with my toys lol)

[7:42 PM] DM: Two bolts catch Derendil and Gunnloda.

[7:43 PM] DM: The little gnome that had taken the bone from Urrak brandishes it like a dagger and jumps into action! Her brother and Eldeth follow.(edited)

[7:45 PM] DM: Back to the top, Lady Moonstream is holding Kevin down. Joe stands up and will attack Derendil.  But misses. Derendil will attack Bo again and misses. I am terrible at this game and it is your turn.

[7:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia hops over Kevin and tries to make her way to the nearest drow.

[7:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (16 athletics)

[7:49 PM] DM: You make it! And Joe and Bo are so overwhelmed, they don't react.

[7:50 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia dives and grabs for the drow's shortsword!

[7:50 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (23 athletics)

[7:51 PM] DM: Wow! You can pull it free. That'll be a d6 piercing with finesse, so you can use whichever's higher for attack and damage between str and dex

[7:56 PM] DM: That's your action this turn though, unfortunately. The others behind you swarm the quaggoths and try to choke or otherwise harm them. Guldor tries to attack you with his crossbow, but when people use a ranged weapon in melee range, you get an AOO, so go for it.

[7:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (14 atk, 9 dmg)

[7:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia swipes at him with the shortsword

[7:58 PM] DM: And she does hit, barely. He gets a deep gash down his arm.

[7:59 PM] DM: Unfortunately, the two drow behind him are getting nervous about the big red monster that just stabbed their buddy, so they hit you with their bolts. roll two con saves.

[8:02 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (13, 11)

[8:02 PM] DM: Are you raging?

[8:04 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (oh, i meant to but i forgot. I'll just do it next turn.)

[8:04 PM] DM: You take 11 points of damage as two bolts slam into your shoulders.

[8:05 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ( I should have said yes. lmao)

[8:07 PM] DM: Some of the others start pushing forward and the general push of creatures causes you to be forced against the drow ahead of you and you're carried outside in a wave of shoves. Kalannar and Imbros both tumble off the edge. Kalannar manages to grab hold of the edge, but Imbros lands in the webbing below. You and Guldor are close to the edge. People start spreading out once outside the door, but they stop suddenly, realizing they don't know where to go now. You can see more drow and Ilvara headed towards you from the south.

[8:15 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia tries to kick Guldor off the edge!

[8:16 PM] DM: roll an attack!

[8:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (is it just d20+STR?)

[8:18 PM] DM: and your proficiency bonus

[8:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (oh snaps i've forgotten that this whole time lol)

[8:19 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (23 atk)

[8:26 PM] DM: This. IS. VELKYNVELVE!! Guldor goes flying off the edge into the webbing below.

[8:28 PM] DM: Ilvara starts approaching and is followed soon by a drow man carrying a naked elf over his shoulder.

[8:34 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: (is kalannar still hanging on?)

[8:37 PM] DM: Yes

[8:37 PM] DM: He's slowly edging away so he can try to climb up.

[8:39 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia goes over and STOMPS on his hands!

[8:40 PM] DM: He doesn't fall at first, but after the second stomp, you hear a crack and he falls into the webbing below. You see some giant spiders crawling out of the sides of the cavern towards the drow.

## Seir's crazy plan

[6:43 PM] DM: Now, Seirixori (in side 3) is in rat form, scampering through the pillows on the mistress’s bed while Ilvara, the mistress/warden/captain points and demands the rat be fed to the spiders. There is also a drow in the room who was being chastised for his mistake. The rest of you are making a ruckus and stage-fighting to cause the drow to intervene. They did so, but behind a wall of quaggoth blocking your escape.

Seirixori: I had you roll some checks last time, and that was kind of a silly way to do things, so I’m taking them individually to explain how this series of events is working out. When you tried to hide, Ilvara was pointing in your direction, but Malagar, the drow actually trying to catch you, didn’t see you under the cushion (mixed stealth). As he started getting closer, you made a dash toward the ladder, but failed to climb it (failed athletics). He pounced to try to catch you, and he did! (failed dex save) but you bit him in the hand and managed to jump/scamper/scurry up the ladder to the shrine room above which appears to be currently empty.(edited)

[6:44 PM] DM: Ravaphine: You had been fighting drow and quaggoth when you were suddenly back in Rodoza for an hour, but you find yourself again back in Bellbury. Remembering the fight, you head to Poni’s basement and inside the portal, you see a rather large chest, a large bed, a drow woman commanding a drow man to… catch a rat?

[6:47 PM] DM: Ok, so what would you two like to do? Ravaphine saw the rat go upstairs, but the 'camera' is still looking at the chest. The two drow look like they might be about to give chase.

[6:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine steps into the portal

[6:49 PM] DM: Roll a wisdom save.

[6:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((7))

[6:51 PM] DM: Roll a d100 for me.

[6:51 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((96))

[6:54 PM] DM: Ravaphine steps through the portal, but before she even realizes what's happening, the world goes dark and she falls unconscious.

Seirixori, roll perception with ratstats

[6:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((15 ... 22 if it's for smell lol))

[6:56 PM] DM: You hear a shout of surprise, a thump, and a lot of movement from the room below you.

[6:58 PM] DM: "Where did that elf come from?"

[6:58 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori turns back and glances down to see what happened, *Crap! Ravaphine*

[6:59 PM] DM: "Is it the one you lost?"

"No, she was hell-touched."

[6:59 PM] DM: "...also naked and chained."

[7:03 PM] DM: You hear the rattle of chains. "These chains?"

[7:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori hesitates not sure if she should just go back to the cells and drop her form there or stay and see what they do to Ravaphine.(edited)

[7:04 PM] DM: You hear a heavy sigh. Ilvara: "Take care of this one and get her to the pit. I'll find the rat."(edited)

[7:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: *Nope bye!* Seirixori takes off and heads back towards the cells, seeing if there's somewhere she can hide easily.

[7:07 PM] DM: So the rat scurries out of the shrine room and across the bridge to the ledge. You hear a lot of noise out here. There's a trumpet blaring and people running towards the pens. There's shouting and general chaos.

[7:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: *What is going on? I kind of want to go back and follow where they're taking Ravaphine, but they're looking for me. Why did I think this was such a good idea!?* Seirixori creeps along trying to scamper behind things and watch the chaos, keeping an eye behind her.

[7:12 PM] DM: From what you can tell, the people from the guard tower across from the slave pen (10) have all run towards the pen. The people from 13 are as well. You can see that the ones from the 4 towers are headed towards you as well, but they're a bit further away.

[7:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori continues watching, knowing her magic won't work if she enters where the slaves are but she also really wants to go back and try and figure out what this "pit" is. *This would be so much easier if I could be a spider, but nooo I didn't want to study them at all.*

[7:16 PM] DM: More drow head past you towards the pen through the tower at 10.

[7:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Most of them are distracted at least Seirixori heads back, hoping to avoid the woman looking for her and tries to figure out what else is down here.

[7:20 PM] DM: Where are you going?

[7:20 PM] DM: You see a giant spider coming out of the tower at 6, looking around.

[7:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE BECAUSE THERE'S A SPIDER lmao))

[7:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: *NOT REAL MY ASS* Seirixori whines a bit and tries to run down the hall. ((towards 3 & 4))

[7:25 PM] DM: K! You see the two stalactite towers at 4 with open doors. They appear to be guard towers. You also see at 3 is the dining room/kitchen area that you had appeared in at the beginning.

[7:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori continues, trying to keep hidden, to search out the other rooms.

[7:29 PM] DM: Are you going in any of them or just walking past?

[7:31 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((Walk into a  2? Is tha a room or a space lol))

[7:34 PM] DM: This appears to be an empty barracks space. There are chests, pallets for resting, and tables.

[7:35 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori keeps that in mind and heads towards one of the guard towers to see if there's anything useful in there.

[7:36 PM] DM: I lied! Those towers at 4 aren't guard towers. They're the barracks for the elite guards. Inside you see another double-room with a ladder connecting them. The one you enter, you can hear grumbling in the lower room when you enter the top. Up here, you see much the same stuff... chests, pallets, chairs, and tables.

[7:38 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ugh I can't do anything about this right now Seirixori heads back and looks down the hall towards where she was previously, hoping the spider is gone.(edited)

[7:39 PM] DM: As you come out of the elite tower, you see that the spider is climbing down the 6-8 tower and Ilvara is going toward the pens.

[7:40 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori waits until they're far enough away before making her way back to the 6-8 tower.

[7:43 PM] DM: Ok!

[7:44 PM] DM: You go inside and the statue's still there, but the pillows in the back have shifted. You can hear Malagath downstairs probably attaching the chains to Ravaphine.

[7:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori goes to check out the shifted pillows, waiting for the guy to come up with Ravaphine.

[7:45 PM] DM: Are you hiding?

[7:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((Yes))

[7:46 PM] DM: stealth check

[7:46 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((4))

[7:48 PM] DM: Do you have disadvantage for any reason?

[7:48 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((nope))

[7:48 PM] DM: Then because you are little and hiding in pillows, I'm gonna give you advantage on the roll. Roll another one.

[7:48 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((I think it all wore off? Was poisoned))

[7:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((16))

[7:49 PM] DM: Yeah it's been more than an hour.

[7:49 PM] DM: Thank goodness. lol

[7:50 PM] DM: Ok! So you see Malagath slowly climb his ass out of the hole. He's got a now underclothes-and-chains clad Ravaphine draped across his shoulders.

[7:52 PM] DM: He carries her out the door towards the slave pens.

[7:53 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Ok well hopefully that's a kind of good thing Seirixori jumps down to where Poni is and drops her rat form, quickly healing herself. "Ok, ok how can I get this open..." She looks around to see if she can smash the lock off with anything.(edited)

[7:53 PM] DM: Follows the drow?

[7:56 PM] DM: ok?

[7:58 PM] DM: Now you do see all of Ravaphine's inventory sitting next to the still locked chest. Apparently minion-boy doesn't have a key. There's a quarterstaff, two potions, and a dagger as well as extra clothes in her bag.

[7:59 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Well, safe keeping and all that," Seirixori grabs Ravaphines things and packs them away, ignoring the extra clothes, then takes the quarterstaff, tapping hte lock with it. "How can I get this damn thing open?"

[8:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori stares at the quarterstaff for a few seconds before grinning, "Oh right!" She twirls it for fun, magic glowing at the end of it and slams it into the lock.

[8:02 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((Nat 20- 26 atk, 24 dmg))

[8:09 PM] DM: There's a great thundering CRACK as you smack the lock with your staff. The entire mechanism cracks open.

[8:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes!" Seirixori steps back and lifts the chest open with the staff.  "Please be a normal chest, please, please."

[8:11 PM] DM: Poni: "I've never thought I'd actually be happy to see those stupid horns of yours, Candy Cane."

[8:12 PM] DM: The chest is huge. Inside you can see Poni on top, and all the stuff that you and your companions had been stripped of. You also find a lot of skimpy looking silk clothes, a silver chain headdress with onyx stones, two potions of healing, and a coin purse.

[8:13 PM] DM: It'd be really difficult to carry everything out of here, considering it also includes Gunnloda's armor and shield.

[8:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ""You owe me so much, I hope you know that, now I need you to shut up for once in your life, and hope I just get beat up a little and not die."  Seirixori grabs Poni and shoves him into her braided hair. Grabs her own gear and throws the headdress, potions and coins into her bag. "Might as well. Crap do I leave everything and go back naked and get shoved in there again...Wait! Poni, we can come back right? if I teleport with this crap?"

[8:16 PM] DM: You'll take what you're carrying. We'd teleport back, but I can't control it precisely when we come back.

[8:17 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "So... no guarantee I can get everyone's stuff out... wait, when? Not where?"

[8:17 PM] DM: Poni: "No, when we come back, I can't control where."

[8:17 PM] DM: Poni: "My advice? Port out. Leave them behind."

[8:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, of course. You have great advice. So If I were to hold onto this chest and you port us out, it'd come with?"(edited)

[8:19 PM] DM: Poni: "...if you can lift it... but I doubt you can."

[8:19 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori pulls him out of her hair, "Well, I'm going to try anyway," and Seirixori tries to lift the chest

[8:21 PM] DM: Roll a Strength check.

[8:21 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((16))

[8:22 PM] DM: I lied. What is your strength score?

[8:22 PM] DM: The big number.

[8:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((12))

[8:25 PM] DM: I think that... might actually be close enough. Seirixori puts her back into it, lifts the chest just off the ground and pokes Poni with her shoulder against her head. She's teleported back to the basement where she drops the chest with an oof and a sore back.

[8:26 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "HAH! Eat it, Poni! Now," She leaves everything, including her own gear, but grabs something of Ravaphines, "Now then, I need to get them out." She holds Ravaphine's dagger up o the Poni stick, "Ok but again, I need you to shut up once we're in there, I can't have them knowing I have you."

[8:27 PM] DM: Poni: "You think that dagger scares me?"

[8:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Listen, just find Ravaphine alright, I need to get them out ok. This... is her dagger right?"

[8:31 PM] DM: Poni: heavy  sighs "Put it to the sensor. But I still won't be very accurate."

[8:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah yeah, why would you make anything easy," she grumbles, holding the dagger to the sensor.(edited)

[8:34 PM] DM: The portal fizzles to life, but all you see is the smithy at the town square.

[8:35 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh... ok not her dagger." Seirixori drops it and grabs Ravaphines clothes, "Probably should have used these first." and she holds them up to the sensor.

[8:36 PM] DM: The portal fizzles again and you see all the prisoners standing along the ledge outside the slave pen in the background, the mistress walking toward them, and the man carrying Ravaphine, still unconscious. The two drow are standing on the thin spider silk bridge between 10 and 11.

[8:37 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "What the hell is happening," Seirixori mumbles, stepping through the portal.

[8:37 PM] DM: Wisdom save.

[8:38 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((9))

[8:39 PM] DM: Roll a d100

[8:39 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((29))

[8:39 PM] DM: You spend the next one minute weeping. Any checks made with your eyes are at disadvantage because it's hard to see through the tears. You're just... really fucking sad.

[8:41 PM] DM: You think you might see some bodies south of you. A lot of people. It kinda looks like you might be on the other side of the mass you saw in the portal.

[8:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: After that minute of fun crying time, Seirixori puts Poni in her braids, hiding him as best she can, "Just please stay quiet, this place is terrible and I don't need to listen to you." Seirixori starts heading towards the large group of people.

[8:43 PM] DM: You see a very naked Seirixori walking towards you from the north.

[8:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "What are you guys doing!?" Seirixori whispers. She hurries towards them, "Stool? C'mon buddy I want to get you outta here too."

[8:46 PM] DM: Stool: "My friend! Where did you go? We were going to rescue you! ...is it normal for your kind to go without your coverings?"

[8:47 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia heads toward Seirixori. "Hey, there you are," she whispers back. "We got out to go find you... but you seem fine more or less. But I see someone carrying Ravaphine? She's out. We gotta go help."

[8:47 PM] DM: Ront: "We kill drow now. All of them. Feed them to their own spiders!"

[8:47 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia grins and gives Ront a thumbs up.

[8:48 PM] DM: Some of the prisoners start charging towards Ilvana, Malagath, and Ravaphine.

[8:48 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I'll explain later, but..." Seirixori turns, "But Ravaphine! We can't let them drop her too!"

[8:50 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ok ok, Stool stay safe please, but don't go too far from us."  Seirixori hangs back but pushes forward to see if she can get an opening to grab Ravaphine in the chaos.

[8:52 PM] DM: Ront charges at Ilvara, but Ilvara manages to fend him off at first. She backs up, but Malagath is right there.

[8:53 PM] DM: She tries to cast a spell, and Ront attacks her, but she manages to get the spell off and swarms of spiders start crawling out of the walls. Regular sized spiders, but creepy.

[8:54 PM] DM: Derendil appears to have whipped himself up into some sort of quaggoth blood frenzy and starts wiggling the bridge, jumping up and down with his mass to try to knock everyone off.

[8:55 PM] DM: The two drow manage to hold on, but Ravaphine starts slipping.

[8:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Shit!" Seirixori rushes out and throws a Thorn Whip to Ravaphine's body. "Crap, crap crap."(edited)

[8:58 PM] DM: Nice thinking! You grab Ravaphine with the whip. You pull it sharply, and Ravaphine comes flying out of Malagath's grasp as he stumbles.

[8:59 PM] DM: She's flying towards you. Both of you, roll a Strength save or a Dex save. Whichever's higher.

[9:00 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((3...which is actually a nat 1))

[9:01 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((24))

[9:02 PM] DM: Ravaphine's body flies into Seirixori, but Seirixori gets completely bowled over... but luckily, Brimeia is stronk and manages to keep the both of you from falling into the webs below.

[9:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "For once, I am incredibly grateful that you are here."

[9:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori pushes herself up and gathers some flame in her hand and chucks it at the bridge. "We really need to get out of here."(edited)

[9:05 PM] DM: You can't help but notice that the three of you, Gunnloda, and Baroness Moonstream are all within touching range.

[9:06 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "You're welcome, Seirixori. Nice wardrobe by the way. Bold statement." She winks.

[9:07 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ugh yeah yeah, ok listen," She turns, seeing the ones she needs most nearby, "We gotta all be touching so we can get out, but I need to get Stool first!" and she goes to get him as fast as she can.

[9:08 PM] DM: Stool's kinda hiding behind Gunnloda. Stool: "Are we escaping now?"

[9:09 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia grabs the nearest people's shoulders. "Yup, time to go. Hold onto your trousers little one!"

[9:09 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes!" Seirixori grabs Stool, pulls Poni out of her hair and places an hand on Gunnloda's shoulder, "Everyone please do the thing, and quickly, and if any of the rest of you get here quick enough you can come with but I am not waiting that long!" She shouts.

[9:10 PM] DM: Gunnloda grabs Seirixori's arm. Baroness Moonstream kinda hesitantly touches Brimeia's shoulder. The others look confused. "We need to go! Down into the webs! The spiders will be full."

[9:10 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "If you want out of here, grab on or else we're leaving you"

[9:11 PM] DM: Everyone else seems too hesitant to grab on.

[9:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Eloise, get your dwarf friend to grab our elf and latch onto you!"

[9:12 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Trust me, please, I swear this is the way out." her finger hovers over the button.

[9:12 PM] DM: Eloise shakes her head. "She won't want to go to Bellbury. Her family is here."

[9:12 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia rolls her eyes. "We're teleporting out in 5 with or without the rest of you lot."

[9:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Of course, this sucks," Seirixori curses, "Brimeia you got our elf?"

[9:14 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Come on, Seir, let's just get out of here before the rest of the slavers catch up."

[9:15 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Yup I got her." Brimeia is carrying Ravaphine.

[9:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Stubborn people," Seirixori lets out a yell of frustration and pushes the button.

[9:16 PM] DM: You all tumble into Poni's basement.

[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?"

[9:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well done! We would've been spider food if you hadn't gotten that silly wizard stick." Brimeia laughs too.

[9:19 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I have to say though, you look like you had quite the adventure getting him." She grins .

[9:19 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine: is still knocked out

[9:19 PM] DM: Eloise: "Yes... and there is still the matter of the rest of us in chains and near as naked as you."

[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?"

[9:23 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Oh now, I'm just trying to thank you. And have a bit of fun. We could use some after all that, don't you think?"

[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.

[9:26 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Taking a breather sounds alright to me."

[9:27 PM] DM: Ravaphine wakes up.

[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.

[9:29 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ah Ravaphine, you're awake. Are you alright, fair one?"

[9:29 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine continues to lay on the floor, blinking at the ceiling

[9:29 PM] DM: Ravaphine wakes up and she's wearing nothing but her underwear, an iron collar, iron belt, manacles, and a chain that connects them all.

[9:29 PM] DM: She has no memory of anything after stepping through the portal.

[9:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "You know, I've read about things like this happening behind closed doors, but I never thought I would ever actually participate" she says while looking at her self and others' lack of clothing(edited)

[9:31 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ha! You do sound alright. Sadly it wasn't quite as fun as it looks."

[9:32 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "If I had the energy, I would hug you right now, you saved my ass." She says to Ravaphine, still not moving from the floor.

[9:33 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I want to ask what happened, but I'm afraid of the answer. I am glad everyone looks almost unscathed"

[9:34 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Hey now, what about me? We busted out and got rid of like half the guard squad."

[9:35 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "thank you both for taking care of all of us"

[9:36 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia turns to Ravaphine. "Oh yanno. Tried to save a beautiful elf lady from the dungeon. Got put in the dungeon. Busted out of the dungeon."

[9:37 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Why does that not surprise me", Ravaphine says with a light chuckle, "Now, how do we get these chains off?"

[9:37 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia shrugs. "Well now that we have all our stuff back, we could just hack them off?"

[9:41 PM] DM: Stool poofs some spores in your face. "Are you a friend?" you hear in your head.

[9:46 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "yes, mushroom, I am a friend"(edited)

[9:42 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak, still bound in irons and mostly nude poofs into the town square with an Orc's toss of momentum behind her. She tumbles for a moment, stops and realizes where she is. As quick as she can, she scurries towards Poni's basement. Upon seeing her friends, she let's out a hearty laugh "YES! YA DID IT! GOOD SHOW!" She raises her manacled hands above her head in triumphant fists

Seirixori: "Hey Urrak! Look, a fancy thing!" she says, pulling out the silver chain headdress.

[9:46 PM] DM: It's really intricate and very fancy... but it also kinda looks like it belongs in a sex dungeon.

[9:39 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "My apologies for not introducing myself. I'm Ravaphine," she turns to the two strangers in the room(edited)

[9:40 PM] DM: Eloise straightens her back and adopts as regal a pose as one can when near naked and in chains. "Eloise Moonstream, Baroness of Bellbury. Pleased to meet you."(edited)

[9:43 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine stands up and straightens out her little clothing, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you Baroness Moonshine, I mean Moonstream"

[9:44 PM] DM: Eloise: "Yes, well... as lovely as this is... I'd like to hear about what kind of trouble my town is in, and to be free of these chains. And I'd rather not parade through my crowded streets in my underclothes."

[9:45 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Brimeia, may I ask you to do the honors and smash this off of me. Also Urrak! You have returned!"

[9:45 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I can help with that." Brimeia scoops up her greataxe from the pile of things and hefts it. "If you'd just hold the chains, m'lady..."

[9:47 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye now that'll fetch a pretty penny, Ser." Urrak inspects the headdress closely before turning and clapping Ravaphine on the shoulder "Friend! It's been some time. You joined us on a very...interesting adventure."

[9:47 PM] DM: Stool: "I like meeting new friends. When will we be going to the Neverlight Grove?"

[9:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I remember coming back, entering the portal, seeing stars, and now I am here unclothed and chained. Not sure what happened in between but I'm sure a shower will fix...all of this"

[9:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I'm not sure what neverlight grove is" Ravaphine says to stool

[9:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: " I know the feelin'" Urrak says, noticing a piece of her armor in the chest. She walks over and collects her gear. "Brimea, care to snap these manacles offa me?"

[9:50 PM] DM: Stool: "It's my home. Where my family is."

[9:50 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, right," Seirixori says a little sadly, but turns to BaronessMoonstream, not wanting to answer Stool. "Ah, Eloise? Are your things in here too? I can let you borrow my stuff if it isn't."

[9:51 PM] DM: You can all easily break the chains between your collars/belts/manacles, but unless you want a tiefling barbarian swinging a giant blade at your necks or hands, you're going to need some sort of lock-picker to get the rest off

[9:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((can I use a small knife to try to pick it))

[9:52 PM] DM: She finds her dress, wrinkled but whole and puts it on. The iron collar stands out above her deep cut neckline, and the belt makes the dress bunch funny, but it's better than nothing.

[9:53 PM] DM: you can roll a dex check at disadvantage if you don't have actual thieves tools

[9:53 PM] DM: that knife is mostly for use sharpening quills. lol

[9:53 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((6))

[9:53 PM] DM: No good.

[9:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Snapping the rest of the chains off, Urrak tugs at her collar "Now t' figure out this deal..."

[9:53 PM] DM: But you didn't break the lock! Barely.

[9:54 PM] DM: You also failed to unlock them, Urrak. Or were you trying to just break them?

[9:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh Urrak! Hope this makes ya feel a little better," Seirixori uses her healing word and sits herself next to Stool, after shoving the coin purses she found into her own.

[9:55 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Maybe one of our... less lawful friends will be in the Cask and could help us."

[9:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((heal for 8 yo))

[9:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((Unlock and thanks Seri))

[9:57 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Blast. And thank ye kindly, Ser. It's been a tough couple days for sure. Any weight offa my shoulders is a relief"

[9:57 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine goes and collects her clothing and items from the box

[9:58 PM] DM: ((It's been exactly 6 hours since you teleported into the prison. lol)

[9:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak dresses herself, and loads all her gear back where it should be. "Feel like m'self again!" ((Orcs are bad at telling time i guess :P))

[10:00 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia slips back into her clothes too, since everyone else seems to be.

[10:00 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: And collects the rest of her belongings

[10:01 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Well let's see if we can wrangle a more...dexterous friend to help us out with these" Urrak points to her collar and belt. "That and...well I think we could all use a drink or 4"

[10:01 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Put me down for four!"

[10:02 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Baroness Moonstream, are you ready to head back home? We would love to hear more about this town"(edited)

[10:02 PM] DM: Eloise: "I am. I would very much like to see my wife and daughter again."

[10:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ok," Seirixori shoves all her stuff in her bag, just keeping the cloak on for now. "Um, I'm going to go to the grove for a little bit, I'm.... not comfortable being inside right now." She says, mumbling her words near the end.

[10:03 PM] DM: Stool: "Are you ok, friend?"

[10:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She bends down near Stool and pats them, "Yeah, I just need to be outside for a bit, with... um the trees? Um... you can come if you'd like."

[10:05 PM] DM: Stool: "Trees?"

[10:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, there's a whole bunch of them with citrus fruits, it's nice!"

[10:06 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "It's her quiet place. "

[10:09 PM] DM: Stool: "I have a quiet place in my grove too! Will you show it to me?"

[10:07 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What are your wife and daughter's names? Maybe we've seen them around"

[10:08 PM] DM: Eloise: "My wife is Cae and my daughter is Misha. They'd be in the Moonstream Mansion, most likely. What do you mean 'around'?"

[10:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Well yer mansion was empty last we saw it."

[10:09 PM] DM: Eloise frowns. "Empty? What do you mean?"

[10:09 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oooh... um, we're just gunna go now," Seirixori says and starts heading out with Stool, "C'mon, friend, let's go see some trees!"

[10:10 PM] DM: Stool kinda waddles up the stairs behind Seirixori, but when they get to the top, they stop suddenly. It's very bright out there.

[10:11 PM] DM: Seirixori and Stool are gonna go to the trees!

[10:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Not a soul t' be seen. Anywhere."

[10:09 PM] DM: Eloise starts heading for the stairs, apparently intent on figuring it out herself.

[10:10 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Miss!" Urrak follows her out, concerned

[10:10 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What she means is that they may have been out running errands!" she shouts to her but she's already out the door

[10:11 PM] DM: Eloise pushes her way through and heads off towards the town square.

[10:13 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We can't let her find out like this. She doesn't know anything that happened to her town. Who wants to go follow her back to the mansion?"

[10:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "You two comin' or what?!" Urrak yells back at Ravaphine and Brimeia

[10:15 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine follows

[10:16 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia sighs. "Alright alright let's go"

[10:17 PM] DM: Eloise is walking quickly, but she starts to falter. "Why is it so quiet? Where are the crowds?"

[10:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Miss we need t'talk t ye. Can ye slow down just a tad? Somethin's happened t' Bellbury"

[10:19 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Let's all go sit down and chat"

[10:19 PM] DM: Eloise: "What's happened to my town? Where's my family?"

[10:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Y remember how I poofed outta sight back in the prison?"

[10:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "That's happenin t everybody. All over town."

[10:21 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Poni made a machine, it exploded, and it's magical energy is makin everything pop in n out."

[10:22 PM] DM: Eloise: "You mean my family's probably in some other slaver's den right now?"

[10:23 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well.... could be a nice glen with some fairies or something." Brimeia offers

[10:22 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We are working on a solution as we speak on how to bring everyone back"

[10:21 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Remembering the letter she found at the mansion, Ravaphine asks, "Do you remember a Master Enchanter Qarius and a wizard named Poni?"

[10:22 PM] DM: Eloise: "Of course I remember them. I was writing a letter to Qarius to come collect his errant student before this very thing happened."

[10:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What happened to you is also what happened to all of us, and everyone in your town. They are not necessarily held captive, but it is all very strange and overwhelming"

[10:24 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, they could be totally fine. We could even find em for ye. We found you, eh?"

[10:24 PM] DM: Eloise shakes her head. "That damnable gnome. How did you find me?"

[10:25 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "This ring" Urrak hands the small ring box back to Eloise "It's needs t'be somethin real personal..."

[10:26 PM] DM: She takes it. "So you went through my things?"

[10:27 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "A-aye...Saifka seemed real adamant about findin' ye so..." Urrak starts to sweat a bit

[10:28 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We're sorry, we were just trying to find an answer. Others were trying to find you so we thought if we could get to you, we could start fixing this"

[10:28 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We can help you find your wife and daughter"

[10:29 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "If we hadn't gone through your things to find something that belonged to you, we wouldn't have been able to find you or get you out of the dungeon. That's how the stupid stick thing works."

[10:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "It needs something close and personal to them, and we can try to find out where they are"

[10:31 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye,  it's worked out pretty well s'far"

[10:31 PM] DM: Eloise sighs. "Am I the first?"

[10:31 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "we have brought home others"

[10:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "But ye are the first person we've tracked. Before we were just grabbin bits of Poni's machine"

[10:32 PM] DM: She starts chewing on a nail as she thinks. You can see her nails are all terribly worn down and mangled from chewing.

[10:34 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I know yer worried, but if they're out there, we'll find 'em." Urrak cautiously places a hand on Eloise's shoulder

[10:34 PM] DM: Eloise: "Let's get these chains off and you can tell me everything you know."

[10:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "We've set up a bit of a home base at the Cask. Follow us there?"

[10:37 PM] DM: Eloise: "I want to stop by my home first. I need to see it for myself."

[10:37 PM] DM: Eloise: "I will meet you there."

[10:37 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Take yer time, Eloise."

[10:38 PM] DM: She walks off towards the mansion.

[10:38 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Alright lads,  let's head to the Cask. Nothing more we can do 'ere."

[10:39 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Such a shame."

[10:39 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "After we get all this nonsense off, we ought to go check on Seirixori and Stool too."

[10:41 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Agreed. Our poor lil balls o anxiety..."

[10:47 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia strolls into the Cask, looking for anyone who looks like they might be able to help with the manacles

[10:47 PM] DM: By freak coincidence, Cyan happens to be there, playing her lute at the end of the bar, just like how you met.

[10:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks in, sees Cyan and immediately starts sweating.

[10:51 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine follows the group and suddenly feels very insecure about her manacles so she hides them behind her back after a small wave to Cyan

[10:53 PM] DM: She grins and finishes her song with a flourish before hopping off the bar to join you all. Nobody objects. Hardly anyone in here is actually functioning. They're all either drunk or asleep.

[10:54 PM] DM: Cyan: "Gunnloda, everyone. How'd it go? You look a little... rough. And... did you all get matching jewelry?"

[10:54 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "It's a real...long story."

[10:55 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "You wouldn't happen to have the ability to pick locks would you?"

[10:55 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "As dashing as I'm sure we all look in these, they are starting to chafe a bit."

[10:56 PM] DM: She chuckles. "As a matter of fact, that is one of my lesser known skills. I'm quite good with my fingers."

[10:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak blushes slightly

[10:57 PM] DM: Gunnloda goes to collect food and drink for everyone while Cyan pulls a set of tools from... somewhere. You're not really sure where she was hiding them since her outfit is anything but bulky or concealing. "Who's first?"

[10:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I'm sure you are," she winks.

[10:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I'll volunteer."

[10:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine almost does a spittake on the water she was attempting to drink

[10:59 PM] DM: She sets to work, but it takes a minute for each of you to get your collars, belts, and both manacles off.  You can just continue chatting while she's working on each of you.

## Seir and Stool

[10:13 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Ow, geezus, way too bright," Seirixori mumbles, covering her eyes, "You ok Stool?"

[10:14 PM] DM: Stool kinda wiggles their... cap? "It hurts. Why is it so bright? Where's the ceiling?"

[10:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I guess we were in the dark for so long? Want me to carry you, I don't want you running into things, once we get to the grove we can hide in the shade."

[10:18 PM] DM: Stool: "I don't like it out here. Can we go to the grove?"

[10:19 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, of course, buddy," Seirixori lifts them and makes her way to the grove, going towards the spot she's been going the last few days. She flutters out her cape, so that it's under her when she sits, and sets her bag and Stool down next to her, "Kind of forgot this was all I was wearing," she mutters to herself.

"Here we are, my quiet place."(edited)

[10:21 PM] DM: Stool turns in a circle. "This isn't the grove. Why are your mushrooms so strange?"

[10:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, uh no, this is... a Citrus Grove? I can't take you to yours just yet. I'm sorry," She fidgets with her bag.

[10:32 PM] DM: They slump a little. "I miss my family."

[10:33 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I... I'm sorry," she says again. "I'll help you find them, but I just didn't want you in that place anymore."

[10:36 PM] DM: "How can we find them? It's so... big out here."

[10:41 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Kind of the same way we got to you guys, we have some magic that can find things. Or maybe find someone who knows where your grove is. I don't really know this place well, I'm not from here either."

[10:45 PM] DM: "Ok. I didn't like it there either, but at least here I have friends."

[10:47 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, definitely." She grins and closes her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath, "I could go without being trapped like that for a while. I think I got pretty lucky in there."

[10:48 PM] DM: They tilt their little head cap. "Did you get hurt?"

[10:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I was pretty hurt already, but I'm almost certain I was seconds away from being spider food." She shudders, "I have not had a good few days with staying on my feet."(edited)

[10:52 PM] DM: "That would be sad." They plop down in the dirt next to you with their little feeties sticking out. You're not entirely sure they have knees.

[10:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori nods, smiling, "Little feetsies," she stays silent a few minutes and then takes a deep breath, "Ok, we should maybe join the others. I did tell them I'd go back."

[10:55 PM] DM: "Ok. Is there a ceiling there? I can't see the top."

[10:56 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yeah, there's definitely a ceiling there." She laughs and gathers her things and leads Stool to the Cask.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[10:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Seirixori! Stool! Hello!"

[11:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori walks in and pauses, "Oh hello," She waves a little and joins them, "Oh hey you got the stuff off!"

[11:01 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "You alright there, Ravaphine?" she teases. "Oh! Seirixori, Stool, so glad you could join us."

[11:01 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "It's been sometime that I've seen pick work like that..." Urrak quietly manages(edited)

[11:01 PM] DM: Cyan looks at Seirixori. "And here I thought my outfit would be the attention-grabber."

[11:02 PM] DM: Gunnloda sets a tray down, full of ales and waters and lots of food. It's not of the quality you've gotten used to. Clearly someone else has been working the kitchens today.

[11:04 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak grabs an ale to keep her from saying anything more she mumbles a thanks to Gunnloda mid drink

[11:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori looks down, "Oh right," she shrugs, "Kinda forgot actually, couldn't really put the rest of it on before." She sits down and picks up Stool to set them next to her, "Hello, Cyan, right? Thanks for helping them." She takes a huge plateful of food and some water. "Oh, Stool! Uh...what do you eat?"(edited)

[11:06 PM] DM: Stool: "Um... dead stuff? But... the others in the prison didn't like it."

[11:07 PM] DM: Cyan: "It's no problem. These aren't exactly a fashion statement. Prison, huh? Sounds fun."

[11:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What have you been up to the past few days, Cyan?"

[11:09 PM] DM: Cyan: "Not much. I was here at the Cask for much of it, though I did get to visit home for a little while. Nice to sleep in my own bed and get a change of clothes."

[11:09 PM] Felicia - 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.

[11:10 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "Thank you, dear, but Adellac will learn in time."

[11:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ye can't replace Gunnloda. Trainin or no." Urrak smiles a bit

[11:12 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Stool, there's a bit of compost out behind the building, if that would be good for you."

Stool: "Compost?"

Gunnloda: "Scraps of food that have been sitting out, rotting. Sometimes you find the best little mushrooms there. It might be what you need."

[11:12 PM] DM: Stool: "Is it... outside? It's very big and bright out there."

[11:13 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "It's ok, I can go get it," Seirixori says, putting her food down and tying her cloak so that she's covered more, "and maybe actually put clothes on. Sorry."

[11:17 PM] DM: Cyan: "I don't think anyone needs apologies for that."

[11:17 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori grins, blushing a little, gathers her things and slips on her gear before she grabs a lone tray and heads out to gather the scraps Gunnloda mentioned. She heads back in, scrunching her nose, "Yeah, I can definitely smell why no one else wanted it. All for you buddy." She sets it in front of Stool.

[11:18 PM] DM: Stool wriggles a little. "Can you put it on the floor for me?"

[11:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Sure!" Seirixori does as they ask.

[11:19 PM] DM: Stool steps right onto the tray and kinda burrow/sits into the pile. "Thank you!"

[11:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori grimaces a little, "Any time." she turns back to her food and pushes it around a bit, "Ok maybe I won't do that next time when I want to eat."

[11:22 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Y'know. Even though they're turnin old pig meat and cabbage inta jelly an eatin it, that Stool is the cutest dang thing I ever did see."

[11:22 PM] DM: Stool: "I'm sorry. I can go somewhere else."

[11:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Please stay, everyone is welcome at the dinner table"

[11:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, we're all friends ere"

[11:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "No you're fine, just not used to it." Seirixori leans down and pats them on their mushroom top, "friend's stay."

[11:24 PM] DM: 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] Kyris - Brimeia: "Who's Eldith?"

[11:25 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Who is Eldith, Stool? Your friend back home?"(edited)

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

[11:25 PM] DM: Stool nods their cap at Gunnloda. "She looked like your friend. Back in the prison."

[11:25 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "speaking of friends, I wonder how our new friend Lady Moonfire is doing"

[11:26 PM] DM: Stool:  "Who is Lady Moonfire?"

[11:26 PM] DM: Cyan pops Brimeia's last chain free. "Who's next?"

[11:26 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Eloise. I can never get her name right"

[11:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Eldith was the other dwarf in the prison... though besides the red hair she wasn't much like me. We talked a little while we were working."

[11:27 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Thank you, lovely."

[11:27 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "And it's Moonstream." Urrak corrects inbetween bites of meat

[11:27 PM] DM: Stool perks up. "I liked Eloise too. She was nice."

[11:29 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia digs in heartily to the food now that the manacles and things are off.

[11:28 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine holds her hand up "I would love these off if you could help me please!"

[11:29 PM] DM: Cyan smirks and beckons to you with a finger.

[11:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine takes a deep breath and heads over to Cyan

[11:30 PM] DM: Cyan: "Don't be nervous. I'll be gentle."

She starts with the ones on your wrists.

[11:30 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "So Stool, tell us about your place. You wanted us to visit, didn't you?"

[11:31 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori rubs at her neck as she watches Cyan take the chains off the others. "I'm so glad I do not have those on anymore."

[11:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I think the lil mushroom wants t' go home. Understandable after all this"

[11:33 PM] DM: Stool: "I do. I miss my family. And everything's so... bright here. And open. The Neverlight Grove is so pretty. It's all blue and green and glowy and..."

[11:34 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Sounds wonderful, little one. I don't suppose you have any belongings?"

[11:35 PM] DM: They shake their cap. "How can I? I haven't gotten my stalks yet."

[11:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Too wee t'even have arms...."

[11:37 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We'll get you back home little one. What were you doing before you were taken?"

[11:39 PM] DM: Stool: "I was playing in the tunnels. I like to kick rocks and try to hit other rocks with them."

[11:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia chuckles. "Sounds like a swell time."
