## Transcript

**FENDAN, 31 JAQMONT 3Y20**

**STONE TOOTH, THE FOUNDRY**

Morning. Urrak and Ryleigh are on watch.

*[*5:20 PM*]* DM*:* Outside the room has been deathly silent all night.

*[*5:26 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Sleep came a bit fitfully that night, the warpick's wound still throbbing beneath magically healed skin. Taking watch was a blessing, even if her eyelids still felt heavy. She looks into the dark room beyond the bedchambers they camped in to the flimsy locked doors, still very aware that there may be a dragon hiding behind them.

"Mad Gruumsh let me get outta 'ere in one piece," she mutters quietly to herself.

*[*5:28 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh nudges her and winks, "We'll be fine."

*[*5:29 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Sure, sure." she scratches at her forehead and takes a deep breath. "I ain't about t' be a dragon's supper, that's fer sure"(edited)

*[*5:32 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh pinches Urrak's side and jokes, "You're so lean, you'd probably taste bad anyway." Urrak winces a bit at the pinch but she can't help but smile.

*[*5:30 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos shifts and stretches where he lays, takes in a long breath through his nose, and blearily opens his eyes. "Morning. "(edited)

*[*5:31 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir sits up, "So... Secret tunnel?"

*[*5:32 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "What? What secret tunnel?"

*[*5:32 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "There's a tunnel in the closet, I figured we could check it out once we had all rested."

*[*5:33 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda finishes her morning prayers and relaxes in the corner she'd been sitting in next to Seir.

*[*5:34 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav stretches out and packs up her stuff.

*[*5:35 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia yawns and stretches but is a bit more subdued than usual.

*[*5:35 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Maybe it leads to a magical world with a satyr wearing a scarf a nd a lion as their leader," Nolanos jokes, thinking of the most absurd thing he can.

*[*5:35 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Wouldn't be Dwarven ruins without a secret tunnel..." She gets up and stretches, collecting her gear from the ground beside her. "Well then, shall we?"(edited)

*[*5:39 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "I guess we have no other choice"(edited)

*[*5:39 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh walks over to the closet and steps inside.

*[*5:40 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "There's a not-so-secret door this way. There's *always* a choice."

*[*5:41 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "I meant, no other choice than leaving this room, but yes, we do have door options."

*[*5:42 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak follows Ryleigh into the closet

*[*5:42 PM*]* DM*:* Ryleigh's surrounded by mildewed clothes.

*[*5:42 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Urrak, give me a moment to look before you crowd me like that."

*[*5:43 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos stands near the doorway, watching

*[*5:43 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Sorry, sorry" Urrak backs up

*[*5:46 PM*]* DM*:* Ryleigh presses a stone inside the closet and a door swings open, revealing a narrow passage into darkness. The light from Dawnbringer dims before the end of the passage is in view.

*[*5:47 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "It looks like passage," Ryleigh calls back. "It's pretty narrow though, so single file." She steps into the passageway and starts to walk down it.(edited)

*[*5:48 PM*]* DM*:* The passage ends and splits north and south.

*[*5:48 PM*]* DM*:* Marching order for anyone following, please.

*[*5:49 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's hanging back until they figure out which direction.

*[*5:49 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos is third, behind urrak(edited)

*[*5:50 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak steps in right behind Ryleigh

*[*5:50 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav behind nolanos.

*[*5:51 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Once Ryleigh sees the others heading toward her she turns to the left, "The passage splits, I'm going left."

*[*5:52 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "We're not lettin' ye go off on yer own so, lead th' way, tin can."

*[*5:52 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos quickly taps Ryleigh on the shoulder, "here, you're taking point so you might need these," he says, holding out the goggles of night vision.

*[*5:54 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh looks puzzled for a moment, "I'm alright. I have Dawnbringer."

*[*5:54 PM*]* DM*:* The tunnel ends about 20' ahead of Ryleigh.

*[*5:55 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Ok, nevermind then" he says as he puts them back around his neck

*[*5:55 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Hold up, I think the passage ends up ahead. Let me check it out so we don't have to back up." Ryleigh walks to the end of the tunnel and checks to see if there's anything there.

*[*5:56 PM*]* DM*:* Perception.

*[*5:56 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((5))

*[*5:57 PM*]* DM*:* You don't see anything.

*[*5:58 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* She walks back down the passage, "I didn't see anything. So, let's head this way?" She points down the hallway.

*[*5:58 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Lead th' way..." Urrak grips the dagger at her chest \

*[*5:59 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh does.

*[*5:59 PM*]* DM*:* The passage ends to the south as well. Ry- Perception again.

*[*5:59 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((1 not natural))(edited)

*[*6:00 PM*]* DM*:* It's the end of a hall. Maybe whoever built it never finished it before the stronghold fell.

*[*6:02 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh walks back to the others. "Uh, I didn't see anything that way either?" She adds, puzzled.(edited)

*[*6:02 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "... Ryleigh." Seir tries not to laugh.

*[*6:03 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh smiles sheepishly, "Right, ummm, I can't spot anything. Maybe you should go ahead?"(edited)

*[*6:03 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Ye humans and yer weak eyes...So precious." Urrak laughs a little

*[*6:04 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh punches Urrak in the arm - hard enough that she feels it but not so hard that she doesn't know Ry's playing.

*[*6:05 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak rubs her arm, a dumb grin on her face. " I'm jus' sayin', Seirixori could see a maggot in a hill o' rice. Let her look."

*[*6:03 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "There could be another secret door we missed?"

*[*6:05 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "No one has a dead end secret tunnel that puts them further into the closet unless they hate themselves. "(edited)

*[*6:05 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I'll take a look. But you are kind of crowding the way."

*[*6:05 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Alright, everyone back up so Seir can come look."

*[*6:06 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos presses himself to the side so she can pass easily

*[*6:07 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia sighs impatiently but knows she isn't any better at spotting things than some of the others and waits without complaint.

*[*6:07 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir makes her way to the front and to the left where Ry first went.

*[*6:08 PM*]* DM*:* Seirixori easily sees the mechanism that will open the door at the end of the hall.

*[*6:10 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "If I trusted people more I'd open this without even saying anything, but... Well Nolanos, care to check for traps on this thing that will open the door?" Seir asks ask she points it out.

*[*6:10 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* She then quickly makes her way to the back to see the other end of the hall.

*[*6:10 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Sure thing."

*[*6:11 PM*]* DM*:* Investigation for Nolanos.

*[*6:11 PM*]* DM*:* Seir sees an identical trigger for a secret door leading south as well.

*[*6:12 PM*]* DM*:* (23- you see no traps.)

*[*6:13 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Same thing on this side, but let's check out what's behind that door before this one."

*[*6:13 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Here we go..."

*[*6:14 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "This one isn't trapped," nolanos says moving to the next door

*[*6:14 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Thanks Seir," Ryleigh says, embarrassed. She opens the door.

*[*6:14 PM*]* DM*:* (26, nat 20, no traps)

*[*6:15 PM*]* DM*:* The hallway leads to a large open chamber. Three doors open into it, and a dark pool fills a low stone basin in its center. The chamber is littered with the remains of old warriors. Seven dwarf corpses lie where they fell a hundred years ago, surrounded by the remains of at least a dozen orc warriors. The dead have been stripped of their arms and armor; only a handful of broken weapons and shattered shields remain.

A weird moaning fills the area, slowly becoming recognizable as Dwarvish curses.

*[*6:16 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "... and to think I didn't like this place before..."

*[*6:16 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Fuckin'..." Urrak draws her sword as she takes in the sight(edited)

*[*6:16 PM*]* DM*:* The sound rises to angry shouting and grows closer.

*[*6:17 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh's brow furrows as she steps into the room, she hums a tune (uses divine sense).

*[*6:17 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*: "Fuuuuuuck--"*

*[*6:17 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir let's out a small whimper and steps back, way back.

*[*6:17 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((stealth 11))(edited)

*[*6:20 PM*]* DM*:* Then the translucent form of an armored dwarf appears through a wall and attacks!

*[*6:25 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((2 - nat 1))

*[*6:25 PM*]* DM*:* Both of you roll a d4

*[*6:25 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((2))

*[*6:25 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((2))

*[*6:27 PM*]* DM*:* The sight of the ghost fills you with so much dread that you are both frightened for 1 minute. You both feel like your life is being siphoned away.

*[*6:27 PM*]* DM*:* (hold for tech)

*[*6:29 PM*]* DM*:* Frightened- you have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of the fear is within line of sight. You cannot willingly move closer to the source of your fear.

*[*6:29 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost moves closer to Ryleigh and now the rest of you can see it, so go ahead and roll *your* wisdom saves.

*[*6:30 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((12))

*[*6:31 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* ((13))

*[*6:32 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((6))

*[*6:34 PM*]* DM*:* Brimeia saves (16).

*[*6:32 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Ravaphine gulps. "Ur....Urrak...your hair..." she whispers.

*[*6:32 PM*]* DM*:* Seirixori and Nolanos are also frightened.

*[*6:33 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos, I need you to roll a d4.

*[*6:33 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((4))

*[*6:34 PM*]* DM*:* Ryleigh, Charisma save

*[*6:34 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((26 - nat 20))

*[*6:35 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost tries to enter Ryleigh's body, but Ryleigh's force of personality keeps it out.

*[*6:36 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh smirks at the ghost and says, "If this is how it must be than I will have no other choice than to collect your soul in retribution."

*[*6:38 PM*]* DM*:* @Alex - Nolanos ! Your attacks are at disadvantage and you cannot move closer.

*[*6:39 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos reaches into his satchel and pulls a vial of acid from it, throwing it in the ghosts face(edited)

*[*6:40 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((5dmg))

*[*6:41 PM*]* DM*:* I am going to need you to roll a dex attack at disadvantage to see if you hit him with 4 allies in the way and a narrow tunnel though.(edited)

*[*6:41 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((is that a dex check?))(edited)

*[*6:42 PM*]* DM*:* Yes, dex plus proficiency.

*[*6:42 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((10))

*[*6:42 PM*]* DM*:* Disregard. he saved anyway. (15)

*[*6:43 PM*]* DM*:* Do you want to move/bonus?

*[*6:44 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((that's all i can really do anyway))(edited)

*[*6:44 PM*]* DM*:* Wisdom save.

*[*6:45 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((19))

*[*6:45 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos is no longer scared of the ghost. His turn is over, though.

*[*6:45 PM*]* DM*:* @Kelsey - Urrak  ! You are frightened.(edited)

*[*6:48 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Wh-what about my...hair..." Urrak takes a loc in her fingers and is startled by it's silver sheen. "What in th' world..." she looks back at the ghost, terror thick in her chest. "St-stay...away from me--!" she holds her action in case the ghost advances, but does not move from where she stands.

*[*6:49 PM*]* DM*:* Ok. Wisdom save.

*[*6:49 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((5))

*[*6:50 PM*]* DM*:* Roll another d4 please.

*[*6:50 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((1))

*[*6:51 PM*]* DM*:* Urrak feels the strength in her muscles get sapped away, bit by bit. Her flesh hangs looser. Her hair has gone white. She is still afraid.

*[*6:58 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda pushes her way forward and grabs at her chest before she realizes she isn't wearing her normal tabard. She reaches into a pouch at her side instead and pulls out an item that she holds up in front of her and she invokes a prayer to Akthor. She commands the ghost to leave.... but it doesn't. (19 save)

*[*6:59 PM*]* DM*:* @Nicole - Ryleigh ! You are frightened.

*[*7:03 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh recognizing the fear coursing through her, places a hand on her chest and says, "Asten, give me the strength to stay and the courage not to run away." ((casting heroism - end turn))(edited)

*[*7:04 PM*]* DM*:* Ryleigh is immune to being frightened and gains 4 temporary hp.

*[*7:04 PM*]* DM*:* Roll your wisdom save.

*[*7:05 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((4))

*[*7:05 PM*]* DM*:* You are immune to fear for the moment, so you don't have any adverse effects.

*[*7:05 PM*]* DM*:* @Kyris - Brimeia ! You are not frightened.

*[*7:08 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia runs up with a fearsome shout and throws a javelin at the creature.

*[*7:09 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* ((rage, 26 atk, nat 20, 25 dmg))

*[*7:11 PM*]* DM*:* The javelin flies forward with wisps of white surrounding it until it connects with the ghost. The wisps turn into Bri's human ancestors who take up positions next to it.

*[*7:11 PM*]* DM*:* @Gay - Ravaphine !

*[*7:12 PM*]* DM*:* You are not frightened.

*[*7:12 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* ((is that only one ghost we can see?))

*[*7:13 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Leave my friends alone!" Ravaphine angrily casts magic missile at the ghost in front of them.

*[*7:13 PM*]* DM*:* (yes)

*[*7:14 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* ((10 dmg))

*[*7:14 PM*]* DM*:* The bolts of arcane force slam into him. He looks like he's fraying at the edges.

*[*7:14 PM*]* DM*:* @Felicia - Seirixori !

*[*7:15 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's having fun panicking in the back and opens the stupid door behind her to get farther away from the ghosty ghost.

*[*7:17 PM*]* DM*:* Behind the door, Seir finds a chain ladder that descends into the same dark chasm that the river from before falls down.

*[*7:18 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((End- she won't go any farther))

*[*7:18 PM*]* DM*:* Roll a wisdom save.

*[*7:18 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((11))

*[*7:18 PM*]* DM*:* You are still frightened.

*[*7:20 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost moves through Ryleigh and Brimeia... to Gunnloda.

*[*7:21 PM*]* DM*:* And into her.

*[*7:23 PM*]* DM*:* @Alex - Nolanos !

*[*7:24 PM*]* DM*:* Actually, if anyone is proficient in religion, you can roll a religion check for me.

Rav: (17)

*[*7:26 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos!

*[*7:27 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda's normally peaceful face is screwed into an expression of madness and hate.

*[*7:32 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos... doesn't know what to do. He takes a look around at his friends and holds his attack until the ghost/Gunnloda prepares for an attack.

*[*7:33 PM*]* DM*:* Ok. @Kelsey - Urrak ! You are frightened.

*[*7:35 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Gunnloda...Don't..." she keeps her sword out in front of her and continues to hold her action with shaky arms. ((end))(edited)

*[*7:37 PM*]* DM*:* @Nicole - Ryleigh ! You are immune to being frightened and have an added 4 temp hp for a total of 8 now.

*[*7:38 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((So there's nothing Ryleigh can do to see how to get the ghost out off Gunnloda?))

*[*7:38 PM*]* DM*:* (You are unaware of how.)

*[*7:39 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((Is Gunnloda hostile? Can I still move through her))

*[*7:39 PM*]* DM*:* She is hostile, you cannot move through her.

*[*7:40 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((Is there anything in this room that will help me figure out what's going on?))

*[*7:41 PM*]* DM*:* There's dead bodies everywhere and gross water.

*[*7:43 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh hums a mournful tune, divine energy radiating off her. ((Channel Divinity, Abjure Enemy- action, prayer. Choose 1 creature within 60' that you can see. WIS save (unless immune to frightened), fiends and undead have disadvantage. On failure, creature is frightened 1 minute or until it takes damage. Speed is 0. On success, speed is halved 1 min or until takes damage.))

*[*7:44 PM*]* DM*:* He is immune to the frightened condition.(edited)

*[*7:44 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((end turn))

*[*7:44 PM*]* DM*:* Roll a wisdom save.

*[*7:45 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* ((14))

*[*7:45 PM*]* DM*:* You are immune to this ghost's horrifying visage for 24 hours.(edited)

*[*7:45 PM*]* DM*:* @Kyris - Brimeia !

*[*7:45 PM*]* DM*:* You are not frightened.

*[*7:49 PM*]* DM*:* @Kyris - Brimeia ?

*[*7:53 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia looks uncertainly at Gunnloda, where the creepy ghost thing seems to have disappeared. Then she finally decides to take a swing at her, hoping to knock the whatever-it-is out of her.

*[*7:53 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* ((21 atk, 13 dmg))

*[*7:56 PM*]* DM*:* Brimeia once again takes a mighty swing at Gunnloda and the axe cleaves into her with the sound of metal clanging. It is no longer frightened.

*[*7:56 PM*]* DM*:* @Gay - Ravaphine !

*[*7:59 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "I'm afraid to say it....but Bri has the right idea. We need to render Gunnloda unconscious to save her." Rav looks away and casts firebolt at Ghostloda.

*[*7:59 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* ((25a, 7dmg))

*[*8:00 PM*]* DM*:* The fire hits her in the chest.

*[*8:00 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "I'm...I'm sorry." Rav starts to back away. ((end))

*[*8:00 PM*]* DM*:* @Felicia - Seirixori !

*[*8:03 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Fuck, fuck, no, no, no." Seir was already on the verge of tears but is now openly crying as she looks at her hands for a split second and then casts Moonbeam at her damn possessed wife. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ((9 if doesn't save))

*[*8:05 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost uses Gunnloda's con save which is a nat 20-24. She takes 4 radiant damage as the ghostly flames engulf her body.(edited)

*[*8:06 PM*]* DM*:* She is going to pull her warhammer up to attack Bri, so go ahead.

*[*8:07 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Cover your ears!" Nolanos calls as he shoots Ghostloda.

*[*8:08 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((21a 6d))

*[*8:09 PM*]* DM*:* The bullet catches Gunnloda right in the kidney, causing her to jerk as the hammer falls towards Brimeia, allowing her to dodge easily (11 miss).

*[*8:09 PM*]* DM*:* @Alex - Nolanos !

*[*8:09 PM*]* DM*:* Seir, roll a wisdom save.

*[*8:09 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos takes another shot ((and adds thunder monger damage to it))

*[*8:09 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((19))

*[*8:10 PM*]* DM*:* Seir is no longer frightened.

*[*8:10 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((18a 18d))

*[*8:11 PM*]* DM*:* The bullet catches her in the back and she falls forward on her face. As her body falls, the ghost remains stationary and is now floating above her.

*[*8:11 PM*]* DM*:* @Kelsey - Urrak

*[*8:13 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*: "Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck--"* Urrak musters up enough courage to throw her javelin of lightning at the ghost

*[*8:14 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((8, nat 1))

*[*8:15 PM*]* DM*:* The javelin catches on the wall and clatters uselessly on the ground.

*[*8:15 PM*]* DM*:* Roll a wisdom save.

*[*8:15 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((nat 1))(edited)

*[*8:16 PM*]* DM*:* d4.

*[*8:17 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((...1))

*[*8:17 PM*]* DM*:* Ok.

*[*8:17 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda... has to roll a death save.

*[*8:19 PM*]* DM*:* She rolls a 10, which is a success, barely.

*[*8:19 PM*]* DM*:* @Nicole - Ryleigh ! (+4 temp hp)(edited)

*[*8:23 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Brimiea, I need you to move your ass out of my way," Ryleigh groans. ((holds action, if the ghost moves with range of Ryleigh she'll attack it))

*[*8:24 PM*]* DM*:* @Kyris - Brimeia !

*[*8:38 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia swings her greataxe at the wispy thing.

*[*8:39 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* ((13 atk, 6 dmg))

*[*8:39 PM*]* DM*:* The axe passes through it and it seems to get even more wispy and tattered.

*[*8:39 PM*]* DM*:* @Gay - Ravaphine !

*[*8:40 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav kamehamehas another firebolt at the ghost

*[*8:41 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* ((26,2....))

*[*8:41 PM*]* DM*:* It hits... a little bit.

*[*8:41 PM*]* DM*:* @Felicia - Seirixori ! The moonbeam is still over Gunnloda and the ghost.

*[*8:41 PM*]* DM*:* You are no longer frightened.

*[*8:43 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir moves the moonbeam away from the ghost and Gunnloda as she moves forward and casts healing word at level 2 on Gunnloda. ((10))

*[*8:43 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda gasps on the ground.

*[*8:44 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost.

*[*8:45 PM*]* DM*:* The ghost goes ethereal. He's *visible* but ghostly, as opposed to the more solid form you've seen.

*[*8:45 PM*]* DM*:* @Alex - Nolanos !

*[*8:47 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Knowing he can't hurt it like this, Nolanos readies an attack until it gets back to normal.(edited)

*[*8:47 PM*]* DM*:* @Kelsey - Urrak ! You are still frightened.

*[*8:48 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Someone get Gunnloda out while it's like this!"(edited)

*[*8:49 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak will stay where she is because she is just too scared and old to do anything. ((end))(edited)

*[*8:49 PM*]* DM*:* Wisdom save.

*[*8:50 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* ((19))

*[*8:50 PM*]* DM*:* You are finally free of the fright.

*[*8:51 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda coughs and staggers to her feet before casting cure wounds on herself. (8)

*[*8:51 PM*]* DM*:* She steps back behind Urrak with what little movement her little legs have.

*[*8:51 PM*]* DM*:* @Nicole - Ryleigh !

*[*8:53 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh is going to move back to Gunnloda, place a hand on her shoulder, and hum a comforting tune ((lay on hands for 10))(edited)

*[*8:55 PM*]* DM*:* As she comes back, everyone can see that Ry's lost some of her 'baby fat', her face has smile lines and crow's feet, and there's the touch of silver strands coursing through her blonde hair.

*[*8:55 PM*]* DM*:* @Kyris - Brimeia !

*[*8:56 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia gets out of the hallway quickly. "Let's get out of here."

*[*8:57 PM*]* DM*:* @Gay - Ravaphine

*[*8:59 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "None of us will be able to hit the ghost, but it can't touch us either. Coward." Rav begins to make her way towards the hall with everyone, holding a firebolt for when another attack against them happens. ((end))

*[*9:00 PM*]* DM*:* @Felicia - Seirixori !

*[*9:03 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir runs up to Gunnloda being a total crying mess and pulls her back toward the hall as far as she can, while constantly apologizing and asking if she's okay. ((and keeping that moonbeam up))

*[*9:04 PM*]* DM*:* You all retreat back to Durgeddin's bedroom.

## End initiative.

*[*9:05 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "The fuck just happened in there...." Nolanos says, more exhausted than he has ever been.

*[*9:06 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh walks up to Urrak and nudges her playfully, "Hey grandma."

*[*9:06 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Oh no, Nolanos." Rav reaches up and grabs his cheek. "And Urrak!" Rav puts herself under Urrak's arm.

*[*9:07 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* "Is... everyone ok? We can ... put you all back to normal right?"

*[*9:06 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "That ghost did all of you dirty. Nice hair, Ryleigh."

*[*9:07 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "What's different about my hair?"

*[*9:08 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "What the..." she looks at the crows feet near Ryleigh's eyes and the silver in her hair. She raises her hand to her face "How did...Good Gruumsh...I'm *ancient*. And Ryleigh, ye look like yer twice yer age..." she flinches at Rav's contact but smiles at her quip

*[*9:09 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I what!" Ryleigh gasps.

*[*9:06 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda hugs tight to Seir.

*[*9:08 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seir manages to get out again, "Are you... How do you feel?" She asks Gunnloda, ignoring everyone else for now.

*[*9:11 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda near melts to the floor as the adrenaline crash hits her. She has trouble speaking, so she just cries into Seir's arms.

*[*9:11 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Fuckin' hells...everything hurts...how do ye fucks live this long? 'S torture..." she holds a fist to her back and stretches

*[*9:12 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos sits, watching the group quietly.(edited)

*[*9:13 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "There's has to be something we can do about this..." Ryleigh murmurs to herself before she walks over to Urrak, "You should sit for a while, even I feel like stretching and I don't think I've aged as much as you."(edited)

*[*9:15 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "We need to get *out*. Sittin' ain't makin' this better..."

*[*9:15 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir wraps herself around Gunnloda, tail and all, running her fingers through her hair, definitely messing up the braid, "Can we leave? We can come back in a few days or something? *I just want to go outside.*" She says to the group.(edited)

*[*9:16 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* "I agree. Let's get out of here. No reward is worth having the life literally sucked out of us."

*[*9:17 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav gently removes herself from under Urrak's arm and offers Nolanos a hand to help him up. "How are you feeling? You're looking a little older, a little wiser, but still handsome nonetheless."

*[*9:19 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos blushes at the compliment, "Well thank you, m'dear. I'm... okay. It's weird suddenly being so... *old,*" he shudders.

*[*9:17 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh digs around her bag and pulls out a small mirror, she holds it to her chest for a moment before looking into it. She frowns and looks completely defeated. "Honestly, I've had enough of this place. I say we leave too. Even if we don't come back, we found the forge and mapped most of this place."

*[*9:19 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Come on Urrak, I'll help you out. Seir...lead the way, would you?"

*[*9:20 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Let's get out of here. So we can find a shoppe that sells canes and walkers for grandmas and grandpa over here."

*[*9:20 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Fuck off," Urrak chuckles and leans on Ryleigh "Let's go."

*[*9:21 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I'm not a grandma..." Ryleigh starts to walk with Urrak.(edited)

*[*9:21 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Oh come on now, have some respect for your elders," Nolanos kids, poking her in the ribs.

*[*9:22 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Yeah, yeah okay." Seir mutters keeping hold of Gunnloda, "Come on, *tor beag*, let's get out of here." She stands and starts to lead them out.

*[*9:22 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda follows, shivering a bit and a little unsteady, but walking.

*[*9:25 PM*]* DM*:* You guys make your way out of the forge, out of the Glitterhame, out of the orc encampment. You don't see anything but the bodies you've felled on your way down, and then you're back on the side of the Stone Tooth, under open skies.

*[*9:25 PM*]* DM*:* It's about noon.

*[*9:25 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav looks up and breathes in the fresh air.

*[*9:26 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((... Can Seir see if there are any horses rofl))

*[*9:26 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* She walks up to Seir and Gunnloda. "How are you two holding up?"

*[*9:26 PM*]* DM*:* You're on the side of the mountain. There are no horses.

*[*9:27 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((then she'll keep an eye out for some))

*[*9:27 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Can we just never go into caves?"

*[*9:27 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "I'm scared that if I sit down I'll shatter int'a a million pieces." Urrak rasps. She stops leaning on Ryleigh and takes a moment to feel the sun on her skin. "Least we're out..."

*[*9:27 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh glances to Gunnloda, checking to see if the Dwarf has settled now that they're outside before asking, "Gunnloda...do you know of anything that could possibly fix this?"

*[*9:30 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda dries her eyes a bit and tries to collect herself. "I-- No... I don't know. I don't think-- I have no spells for aging." She almost half-chuckles, but stops herself.

*[*9:35 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh's mouth pulls into a thin line and her voice is uncharacteristically sad as she addresses Gunnloda, "I thought it was worth an ask at least."

*[*9:31 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Looks like we're makin' a library trip...*gods this pack is heavy all o' a sudden*"

*[*9:34 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I can... I can get you back, quickly . You and Gunnloda. And then come back for the rest of you but I don't know if that would still be faster." Seir says hesitantly, the thought of leaving Gunnloda alone even in a town unsettles her.

*[*9:35 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "What'd you have in mind, Seir?"

*[*9:38 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "A horse. But... It wouldn't cut that much time." Seir looks at Gunnloda, and then away with a sigh, "I wish there was a closer town. I don't even know if Grimpeak has anyone we could ask about this." She motions to the old people. "You know, I figured I'd probably outlive nearly all of you, but this is pushing it."(edited)

*[*9:34 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Hey Ryleigh, is there any chance I can put my pack in the bag of holding for a bit?"

*[*9:35 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir grabs Nolanos' bag for him instead of putting it in the bag of holding.

*[*9:36 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Wha- o..k"

*[*9:36 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I got yours, Urrak. Hand it over." Ryleigh motions for Urrak's pack.

*[*9:36 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak hands it to her with shaky arms

*[*9:37 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh takes it an slings it on her back, it feels heavier than she believed it would.

*[*9:38 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "If what I remember about ghosts is correct...to get you guys back to your normal selves, we need to find somebody who can cast a specific spell but it's one of those tricky like with Cae where we have to take our chances." Rav says with a small frown

*[*9:39 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Greater restoration might be able to help you out, but I don't know where we can find someone or be able to cast it."

*[*9:40 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "What about th' halfling? What about Kendall? That hat o' hers...It'd take us right to 'er temple, right? One o' them has t' know that spell." she coughs a bit(edited)

*[*9:45 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda looks down, a touch of conflict at her eyes, but she pulls the stone from her pouch. "It's worth a try."

*[*9:47 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Are you sure?" Seir asks quietly.(edited)

*[*9:48 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles softly. "They're more important than a little discomfort."

*[*9:49 PM*]* DM*:* She puts her other hand over the stone and closes her eyes. The stone glows brightly for a moment, then it falls dim again. She opens her eyes. "Soon."

*[*9:50 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh remains unusually silent, gripping Dawnbringer's handle tightly.

*[*9:52 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Um.... in the meantime, I guess, does anyone have anything they want me to take a look at for them? New or old?" Nolanos isn't sure what else to do with himself, honestly.(edited)

*[*9:55 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Guess not... later, then." He says quietly.

*[*9:56 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav puts an arm around him and gives him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you for always helping."

*[*9:56 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Everythin' we found's in th' bag, Nolanos. We got time. But what Rav said, thank ye."(edited)

*[*9:52 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak cracks her knuckles loudly in front of her *"Ah, fuckin hells, I cannae let Mal see me like this..."*

*[*9:52 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir kneels down and pulls Gunnloda into a tight hug, tail going around her again.

*[*9:57 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* He shrugs and smiles a small smile, "It's what I do... And no worries."(edited)

*[*10:00 PM*]* DM*:* A minute or two later, a halfling in white robes pops into existence next to Gunnloda. She looks around for a moment, taking in the scene, then blinks at Urrak. "Wow, I thought she was taking the piss out of me. I think you might be older than I am."(edited)

*[*10:00 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Hey Kendall. How's life treating you?"

*[*10:01 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh sniggers a little, "Hey Kendall, thanks for coming."

*[*10:01 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall shrugs. "Getting along. So what's the issue?"

*[*10:02 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "I feel like my skin is made o'parchment...Please tell me ye can help me get back t' me beautiful young self..."(edited)

*[*10:02 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos just gestures at his, Urrak's, and Ryleigh's faces.(edited)

*[*10:02 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Orcs don't age well..." she grins "We aren't meant fer this nonsense."(edited)

*[*10:03 PM*]* DM*:* She frowns a little. "How'd it happen?"

*[*10:04 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Ghosts." Rav says in a whisper.

*[*10:03 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "It's been a long day. Ghosts suck."(edited)

*[*10:04 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "We fought a ghost and Dawnbringer believes it sucked our lifeforces."(edited)

*[*10:04 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "It was a real fun time."

*[*10:05 PM*]* DM*:* She frowns and glances at Gunnloda before walking up to Urrak. "Come down here and let me get a look."

*[*10:05 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I really don't like ghosts, " Seir whispers into Gunnloda's ear, still kneeling and hugging her as she watches.

*[*10:06 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak sits down carefully in front of Kendall.

*[*10:07 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall gives Urrak a once-over visually, then beckons Nolanos and Ryleigh down too.

*[*10:08 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh kneels down in front of Kendall.

*[*10:08 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos makes his way over and sits next to Urrak.

*[*10:09 PM*]* DM*:* She looks over all three of them. "Just you three? Are any of the rest of you hurt?"

*[*10:10 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav shakes her head. "Seir? Did you get hit?"

*[*10:11 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Um, no. I'm... I'm fine."

*[*10:11 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "It was just us three that took the brunt of the curse, I healed Gunnloda but she was downed in the dungeon."

*[*10:12 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "It took over her. Th' ghost. Had t' knock it out."(edited)

*[*10:14 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall pales, but as she turns to look at Gunnloda, Gunnloda waves her off. "Don't worry about me. They need your help."

*[*10:15 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall frowns, but turns back to the three elders. "There's a problem. I can only help two of you today, and... the components are expensive. We'd have to go to Vecbony."

*[*10:17 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "We'll do what we have to. How can we get there quickly?"

*[*10:17 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh sighs, "we have gold from taking this expedition, so we might be able to afford the components." She stands and steps away from Kendall, "These two need it more than I do. I'll...it's fine...it'll be fine."

*[*10:19 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Wait a minute! Y'can't just...you take it. I'm not worth keepin' around. You an' Nolanos have a lot more t' offer." Urrak looks to Ryleigh. "Y'don't deserve t' have so many years taken from ye."

*[*10:19 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "No, we're going to figure out how to return all three of us back to normal. Right?"

*[*10:20 PM*]* DM*:* She looks around again, counting bodies. "I can take you. ...if you all want to go."

*[*10:20 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Urrak, you're literally knocking on deaths door. I'm just middle aged now, seriously. You can't tell me I need it more," Ryleigh says with a sad smile.

*[*10:20 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh turns to Kendall, "I'm willing to tag along."

*[*10:20 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "That sounds like an excellent plan."

*[*10:20 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir stands. "Urrak, shut up and take it." she hesitates, "Is there an easy way to get back here? A quick way?" she asks Kendall, speaking to her finally.

*[*10:23 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall tilts her head, gesturing towards her hat. "Three times today, and it will recharge over time. Well, two now."(edited)

*[*10:23 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Just tell us what you need us to do?"

*[*10:24 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall: "Everyone has to touch."

*[*10:24 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Sounds familiar," Nolanos smiles.(edited)

*[*10:24 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh grabs Urrak's shoulder.

*[*10:24 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak touches Nolanos's arm

*[*10:25 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* Brimeia grabs on

*[*10:25 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos reaches for Rav's hand.

*[*10:24 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "As long as you can get me back to Bellbury in two weeks or less..." Seir still looks hesitant to go.

*[*10:25 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "We don't all have to go."

*[*10:26 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "What's happening in 2 weeks?"

*[*10:28 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Cae."

*[*10:30 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Right, of course."

*[*10:30 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Do you want to go?" She asks Gunnloda, "I kind of..." She whispers something to her.

*[*10:34 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "It would be safer to go."

*[*10:37 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Okay." Seir sighs and puts her hand on Ryleigh’s arm.

*[*10:37 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda takes Seir's hand and Kendall teleports the lot of you to Vecbony. You arrive at the temple of the Sovereign Host.

*[*10:39 PM*]* DM*:* "I'll go get the materials. Have a seat." Kendall walks to the back of the temple, leaving you in the large, open room lined with pews.

*[*10:40 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak takes a seat in a nearby pew, hooking her arm over the back of it. She shifts a little until she's comfortable "Ooof, been awhile since we done that..."

*[*10:41 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Is it story time where you start telling us stories from back in your day?" Rav tries to make light of the situation, trying to hide the worry behind the jokes.

*[*10:41 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Hey grandma!" Seir teases, wrapping herself around Gunnloda again.

*[*10:42 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Don't worry, you'll be back to normal in no time." Ryleigh winks at her.

*[*10:42 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Yeah yeah keep it up, ye whippersnappers. I can still kick yer asses." she cracks her neck and groans(edited)

*[*10:43 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "I might have a chance of beating you at arm wrestling for once!"

*[*10:43 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall returns, a small pouch in hand. "I can only cast the spell twice today."

*[*10:44 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Urrak and Nolanos, that's your cue."

*[*10:44 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "But ye can cast it t'morrow as well right? Ye can fix us all...?"

*[*10:45 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's fidgeting with her tail, leg shaking a little.

*[*10:45 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall: "It's... not certain, depending on when it happened and all, but hopefully. If you stay in Vecbony tonight."

*[*10:47 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh gives Urrak an encouraging smile, "Go on. It'll be fine."

*[*10:46 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Th-then let's get this done. Give ourselves more time." Urrak stands as quickly as she can

*[*10:47 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall sighs. "Sit back down. How am I supposed to reach your head like that?"

*[*10:48 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Sorry, sorry." Urrak sits back down and bows her head towards Kendall

*[*10:49 PM*]* DM*:* She puts her fingers in the pouch and pulls them out, then sprinkles diamond dust that sparkles in the light over Urrak's head.

*[*10:51 PM*]* DM*:* She puts her small hand on Urrak's forehead and mutters a prayer. A bright golden glow extends from her hand encompassing Urrak's entire form, then it sinks into her skin and dissipates. Urrak's skin has returned to its normal tone and form and her hair, with the exception of one white streak coursing through one of her locs, has returned to black.

*[*10:51 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Can we go outside?" Seir asks Gunnloda, trying not to be obnoxious about it.

*[*10:51 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda nods and leads her out.

*[*10:53 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Holy shit, Kendall!" She picks the woman up and hugs her "Thank fuck y'came t' help!"(edited)

*[*10:53 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall: "Oh! Ok! Wait, I'm still old! Gentle, please!"

*[*10:54 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*: "Sorrysorrysorry"* she puts her down gently. "Got *carried* away. Eh? *Eh?* I feel great."

*[*10:55 PM*]* DM*:* She chuckles. "Good, good." She calls Nolanos over and sprinkles the dust on him, repeating the prayer. His scales return to their bright bronze shine.

*[*10:55 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Wow, you work some seriously great magic, Kendall. Thank you."

*[*10:57 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak looks over to Ryleigh, her smile fading a bit. "We're gonna help ye too, Ry. As soon as can. I promise ye."

*[*10:58 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Will you stop? I'm just glad you're not dying. Take your pack back." Ryleigh manages a small smile that doesn't reach her eyes and throws Urrak's pack at her.

*[*10:59 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall: "You're welcome, dears. I have no suitable furniture for people of your size, but if you need a place to stay, you can camp on my floors tonight."

*[*10:59 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* "Thank you for all your help, Kendall. You're always so good to us. How is everything here in town?"

*[*11:00 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Sounds a million times better than where we *been* stayin', that's fer sure." Urrak takes her pack from Ry with a slight nod. "And aye, been awhile. How've ye been?"

*[*11:03 PM*]* DM*:* She turns to Rav and Urrak. "It's quiet here. Not much to say."

*[*11:01 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Kendall, you've done enough for us, we can find a inn for the evening." Ryleigh pulls out the pouch of gold and says, "How much do we owe you? and...thanks for saving our butts again."

*[*11:03 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall smiles. "I'm happy to help, but the dust is expensive. A hundred gold per casting. Are you sure about-- no, of course, that... I can give you the name of a good inn not far from here. Blood of the Vine, just down the street."

*[*11:04 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak pulls 100gp from her coin purse and hands them to Kendall. "Thank ye, again." she straightens up "And I think we could all *use* some quiet, eh Rav?"(edited)

*[*11:06 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos also pulls out 100gp and hands it to her, "Thank you, really."(edited)

*[*11:08 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall nods and takes the money. "You lot are probably lucky to have survived. I'm glad I could help."

*[*11:10 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Dawnbringer said the same thing. She said something about ghosts being a serious opponent. Too bad we had to learn the hard way," Ryleigh chuckles while gesturing to her aged face.(edited)

*[*11:11 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Th' sword...y'know what? I'm not even gonna touch one." Urrak lays down on a pew

*[*11:13 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Of course I mean my sword?" Ryleigh says casually to Urrak.

*[*11:16 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Thanks again, Kendall. Truly. If you need us to do anything for you, don't hesitate to ask, we'll be at the Blood of the Vine and probably wandering around town for the remainder of the day."

*[*11:17 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall nods. "I'll find you there in the morning. And... actually, could I speak to you? Alone, just for a moment?"

*[*11:18 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Of course," Ryleigh says without hesitation. "Urrak, why don't you and the others head outside with Gunnloda and Seirixori."

*[*11:19 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak sits up and nods "S-sure thing, Ry..." she gets up and motions for the others to follow her out of the temple

*[*11:19 PM*]* Gay - Ravaphine*:* Rav follows the group out

*[*11:20 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* As does Nolanos

*[*11:27 PM*]* DM*:* In the interest of time, the group finds itself at the Blood of the Vine tavern and you all take a seat at various bars/tables to wait for Ryleigh and/or Devil's Food to catch up.

## Kendall and Ryleigh

*[*11:21 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall waits til the others are out of the room. "How are things?"

*[*11:23 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "How do you mean?" Ryleigh asks.

*[*11:26 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall laughs, defeated. "Going to make me say it, are you? Gunnloda. Is she all right?"

*[*11:31 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh smiles at her sadly, "I just wanted to make sure that's who you were asking about. Gunnloda is happy. She's been in a terrible state of mind the last few days, but I think that has something to do with the underground dungeon we've been in." She shrugs. "How are you?" Ryleigh says with sincerity.

*[*11:35 PM*]* DM*:* She frowns a little. "She shouldn't be underground that long. I told Seirixori--" she cuts herself off and shakes her head. "She's ok though? You said she was hurt."

*[*11:40 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "She was knocked out and possessed by the ghost, but I healed her and Seir did too. She's going to be alright...I couldn't let anything happen to her...she's too important to Seir. Why shouldn't Gunnloda be underground? She's a dwarf." Ryleigh asks puzzled.

*[*11:42 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall looks a little conflicted about whether she should share something that isn't hers, but says, "She started feeling claustrophobic after an incident beyond the Bastion when she was younger. That's why she left Dhog Lodir- she couldn't stand the caves anymore."

*[*11:49 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh cups her chin in thought, "Ah, that explains a lot actually. I couldn't figure out why she freezes anytime we're underground. I'll make sure we try to avoid quests like this one in the future - unless our group desperately needs the gold. But Kendall, you didn't answer my question...how are you doing? I know you love her."(edited)

*[*12:09 AM*]* DM*:* A redness creeps up her neck and across her cheeks. "I-- what? No I--" She takes a breath and lets it out slowly. "I'm doing fine. If she's happy, I'm happy."

*[*12:14 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh kneels down, seeking eye contact, "I didn't mean to imply *how* you love her, just that I can just tell that you do, in whatever way that is. And it's ok if you're not fine."(edited)

*[*12:29 AM*]* DM*:* She looks away. "I'll be all right. All I've ever wanted for her is a life full of happiness and love from someone who could give it to her. This is what I wanted."

*[*12:51 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh sighs, "She's happy and Seirixori loves her more than I think she's ever loved anyone." She stands, "If you did ever need to talk to someone, you can talk to me."

*[*7:28 PM*]* DM*:* "I wouldn't want you to be caught in the middle of everything, but I'm-- thank you. How... well do you know her?"

*[*7:37 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "How well do I know Seirixori?"

*[*7:38 PM*]* DM*:* "Gunnloda. She's... dressed differently."

*[*7:43 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh shrugs, "I honestly don't know a lot about Gunnloda. Seir and I are friends, but Seir doesn't usually talk about Gunnloda to me."

*[*7:45 PM*]* DM*:* Kendall nods. "I'm sorry, dear. I've kept you long enough. You remember where I live if you need anything? I'll be here or there and I'll meet you at Blood of the Vine in the morning."

*[*7:56 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "You don't have to apologize, Kendall. You've been wonderful to us, and I'm sorry I can't help you more. I've gathered that you and Gunnloda have some kind of history, but based on her reaction when we asked her to see if you'd help..." Ryleigh runs a hand through her hair, "I hope I'm not overstepping, but I'd guess whatever conversation was had, it wasn't a good one. You clearly care for her, maybe you guys should talk about whatever happened."

*[*8:14 PM*]* DM*:* "It's not... I think that's up to her."

*[*8:22 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "You can't force her into a conversation, but that doesn't mean you can't try to have it. She means something to you, doesn't she?"

*[*8:32 PM*]* DM*:* "Of course she does... but with the way things are, I think it'll be up to her to decide whether she wants to talk again."

*[*8:38 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "If she means something to you than maybe you should fight for her...I'm just saying a little bit of effort goes a long way. I'm obviously not informed on the situation between you two but it seems like a waste of friendship if you just let her go."

*[*8:47 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh shuffles her feet a bit, "I'm sorry if I overstepped, but I remember where you live if we need anything and Kendall, thanks for everything."

*[*8:54 PM*]* DM*:* She nods. "I'll see you in the morning."

## Urryleigh

*[*10:39 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh leaves Kendall at the temple, she navigates the city alright, and finds the Blood of the Vine easy enough. She enters the tavern and spots Urrak sitting at the bar, Ryleigh rolls her eyes and takes a seat next to her, ordering a non-alcoholic beverage.

*[*10:43 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Well now, look who it is." Urrak bumps her shoulder before tipping her tankard in her direction "It's water. I could feel ye judgin' me from th' moment ye clanked on in." she laughs and takes a swig before finally turning to the woman. "Y'know it suits ye. Th' agin'. Makes yer seriousness seem more...earned."

*[*10:44 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I think you just like having someone that looks your age around," Ryleigh tries to joke, but it comes out humorless.

*[*10:48 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Ha! Yes, bein' with all o' ye ankle biters was gettin' a little tirin'." she reaches over and shakes her lightly by the pauldron. "Don't worry, we'll get ye back t' yer youthful self. Wouldn't want t' bring ye back t' Rukiya lookin' so world weary."

*[*10:50 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* The small smile on Ryleigh's face drops completely and she swirls the drink in her hand. "Yeah..." Ryleigh mumbles to her glass.

*[*10:52 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* Urrak leans forward on the bar, resting on her arms. Her eyes scan Ryleigh's face "Ok. What's goin' on? Y've been sour fer awhile now. Ain't like ye."

*[*10:54 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I'm not being sour, I'm just contemplative," Ryleigh says defensively. "I aged 20 years in a matter of moments, Urrak. I'm entitled to be a little upset about it."

*[*10:58 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Contemplative. Sure. How about ye contemplate lookin' me in the eye an' sayin' that?" she drops her tone to a low rumble. "I know ye better than ye think I do, Ry. There's somethin' more."

*[*11:01 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh swallows at the emotion building her throat, "You married an elf, knowing you'd die first, knowing that you would love her all of your days but that she wouldn't love you all of hers." She finally looks at Urrak, "I...it didn't...I just realized that I'm going to die before Rukiya...I'm going to leave her and I promised..." Ryleigh clears her throat and takes a drink to ease the dryness.(edited)

*[*11:09 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Oh, gods, Ry..." she wraps an arm around her shoulders, giving her a half-hug. "It's outta yer control. It's...just how things are." she rubs her back and folds her arm back onto the bar. "It's tough fer sure. And fer them it's...almost cruel. No one wins." she runs her tongue across her teeth, thinking. "But it ain't like ye lied, Ry. And surely she realized the same."

*[*11:17 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "She's been left before and I promised her I would never leave her in that kind of loneliness. I told her that the night we kissed, the night we...we became more...what if..." Ryleigh angrily wipes tears from her face, "It's all built on a lie now..."

*[*11:19 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Hey," Urrak places a hand beneath her chin and turns Ryleigh's face to her. "Tell me something, will ye?"

*[*11:20 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh bites her lip and nods.

*[*11:21 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Do ye love her?"

*[*11:21 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "Of course I do," Ryleigh says like that's a ridiculous question.

*[*11:22 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Do ye want t' be with her? Knowing what you know."

*[*11:24 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh thinks about that question for a few moments. She takes a drink and looks at the liquid in her cup, "I do, but not if it hurts her."

*[*11:32 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Well Ry, that's somethin' ye can't promise. That's somethin' outta yer hands. But love....that's one ye can keep." she rubs her face, hiding the tears that threaten to leave her eyes "Ancy was so worried. She...didn't think she was strong enough t' watch me wither away. But, ye know me, I'm stubborn as all hells, and eventually, she came around. She was always about livin' fer th' moment. Fer th' *'right now'.* Easy t' say when ye can live t' see the end of an Era..." she shakes her head "B-but it's true. Ye can't worry about th' future. Ye'll only waste th' present."(edited)

*[*11:38 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh reaches out to take Urrak's hand, "I'm sorry for bringing all this up...I know it can't be easy - loving Ancy even though she's gone, and loving Malica even though you feel you shouldn't."(edited)

*[*11:47 AM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Aye it's...a mess. But, what can I say? Been a mess my whole life." She squeezes her hand and lets it go. "But Rukiya, she's not some naïve young girl. She'll understand. And as long as ye love her, *truly* love her, then that's the only thing ye need. No promises, no oaths, nothin' on this plane or th' others can change that. Only th' two o' ye."

*[*11:55 AM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "She's my best friend, the first person I've trusted in a long time, and now she's...more. We have our duties and we have our secrets..." Ryleigh swirls her drink once more. "I'll have to tell her when we get back. Of course, if Kendall can't reverse this," She motions to her face, "then...well," Ryleigh shrugs. "Thanks for talking with me Urrak..Dawnbringer told me that Rukiya would understand too..."

*[*12:01 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Sounds right familiar." Urrak chuckles softly and downs her drink. "I know it's hard fer ye t' get outta yer head, Ry. But listen t' yer...sword. It's all gonna be ok. We'll get yer baby face back, Rukiya'll understand, and when we go back t' that godsforsaken cave, we'll send that ghost back t' whatever hell it came from." she smiles lopsidedly at her. "You should get some rest. Ain't easy bein' this old."(edited)

*[*12:05 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh rolls her eyes and says, "I don't want to go back. We did what we were sent to do, we found the forge, we have a few weapons with the Durgendin's mark, and we mapped most the dungeon. Connell can send someone else to die, but it isn't going to us."(edited)

*[*12:11 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Oh thank fuck I did *not* wanna go back t' that fuckin' cesspit. I just figured ye'd be a real type-A an' wanna finish what we started." she laughs loudly, surely startling the folks behind her, "Fuck that place. Those fuckin' purple ass dwarves can have it." she takes her one silver loc in her hand and twists it about "All th' coin in th' world won't be worth nearly crumblin' int'a dust..."

*[*12:14 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "I like to do the job right, but there will never be any amount of treasure or any reward that outweighs the value of our lives. You should know that about me by now."

*[*12:18 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "Aye, I suppose I should. " she rubs her arm absentmindedly "So...any o' that help ye?"

*[*12:21 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh gives Urrak a sly smile, "I'm afraid you're learning my deflection tactics too. Better stop trying to learn all my secrets Urrak, I'd hate to have to kill you."

*[*12:28 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "I'd like t' see ye try, tin can." She returns the grin and stands. "Well, even if it didn't, at least ye got t' talk about it. I think I even saw a true emotion or two. So hey, progress." she stretches, hands behind her head and yawns. "As fer me, some o' that curse is clingin' t' me bones. Hopefully gettin' some real sleep'll help." she adjusts her sword belt and picks her pack up from the ground. "Good night...day? Eh, whichever. See ya Ry."(edited)

*[*12:30 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* "See you later, Urrak."

*[*12:31 PM*]* Kelsey - Urrak*:* "And hey," she starts walking backwards towards the steps "Try not t' worry so much. It'll give ye wrinkles!" she turns, laughing at her own dumb joke and heads up.

*[*12:35 PM*]* Nicole - Ryleigh*:* Ryleigh rolls her eyes as Urrak leaves.

## Devil's Food

*[*11:00 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Sorry, I just needed to be outside. I didn't really have a plan after that." she laughs lightly.

*[*11:01 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles a soft, sad smile. "It's all right. I'm not sure I wanted to be in there right now anyway."

*[*11:03 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Can't seem to catch much of a break can we?"

*[*11:19 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda hugs Seir.

*[*11:23 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I *really* hate ghosts. And i know I've said that a lot but..."

*[*11:25 PM*]* DM*:* "I'm sorry, *sor'odko...*"

March 14, 2018

*[*4:16 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "*I'm* sorry." Seir kneels and brings her hands to cup Gunnloda's face. "I'm so sorry."

*[*4:24 PM*]* DM*:* She tries not to cry, but tears fall anyway. "It was you, wasn't it? That brought me back?"

*[*4:28 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir wipes a couple of the tears away, ignoring her own that start falling. "Yes. I-- yes. If... I'll always find a way to bring you back."

*[*4:43 PM*]* DM*:* She leans in and hugs Seir again, holding her tight. "I didn't want-- I don't doubt that you'd do everything you could, but it... that was...terrifying."

*[*4:50 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir looks down briefly, "I'm sorry about the... the magic. I didn't know what else to do and Ravaphine said it was the only way and I *couldn't* just *stand* there and...and be afraid." She pauses and then whispers, "I was so scared. Of the ghost... For you..." Seir finally wipes at her own eyes, "I don't know what to--Are you-- How are-- Do you need anything? Can I do anything?"

*[*5:02 PM*]* DM*:* She shakes her head and grips Seir's hands. "Just... just you. I don't blame you, *sor'odko.* It had to be done and I-- I don't know what was worse... everyone attacking me or knowing if it could, it'd use me to hurt all of you.... knowing that if you weren't fast enough..." She grimaces, squeezing her eyes shut. "I think I changed my mind. Several drinks sound good, but... we don't have to go inside if you need the air. I think I'd prefer being outside myself."

*[*5:08 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "We can maybe get some drinks to take with us? And then go uh... I don't know because I've only been here that one time." Seir groans a little remembering, "I--yes. I'm not used to-- outside would be great, at least for today... and tonight, if, if we can?"

*[*5:13 PM*]* DM*:* "I know my way around... I lived here most of my adult life. There's a place I think you'd like, not far from here. I'd bet ten gold Kendall would offer her own place, then Blood of the Vine to the others. That's probably where they'll stay. Outside will be fine, especially if we have a tent. After the last few days, I think I'd like to see the stars."

*[*5:22 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir starts laughing, "Could you imagine all of them in Kendall's place? They might all knock themselves out." Seirixori stands and let's her tail wrap itself around Gunnloda. "I want to go back, if to just finish what we started but I will gladly take this break." She takes Gunnloda's hand, "Lead the way, *raro shmaufa*" She pauses and tilts her head, "Huh, I think *tor beag* might sound better."

*[*5:27 PM*]* DM*:* "Are you ever going to tell me what you're saying?" she asks, leaning into Seir's side. She starts walking down the street, bringing Seir along.

*[*5:31 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Maybe." She grins, "If you ask nicely."

*[*5:39 PM*]* DM*:* "Nicely, hmm? I think that can be arranged, *sor'odko,* but you did ask for fair warning before."

*[*5:46 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir nearly trips over her own feet, her face flushing, "... I think I'm glad you didn't start out talking in your normal accent. I might have been as much of a disaster as Urrak."

*[*5:50 PM*]* DM*:* She chuckles. "Nervous as a tentacat in a room full of rockin' chairs."

*[*5:58 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "A what? What? I don't know what that *means*, but apparently I don't care." Seir rubs at her red face and mutters in infernal, "*a oaa' faoraorro ha'll rlauh a olia'iy hoa.*"

*[*6:03 PM*]* DM*:* "Ah... tamed displacer beasts. Tentacle cats. Tentacat. " As the two walk down the road, she stops at a tavern, drops several gold for a bottle of something with a name Seir doesn't quite catch, and then they're on the road again. After a few minutes, the buildings give way to a forested park of sorts, fenced in, but with natural growth.

*[*6:08 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Oh, that... makes sense." Seir steps away when they get to the park, just enough so her tail only loosenes itself slightly around Gunnloda to give her the bit of room, and takes a deep breath. "Every time we go do something for other people, that's not outside, it makes me realize how much I..." She stops, realization dawning on her. "... how much I've always loved the forest. Oh..."

*[*6:15 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles a little. "Come on... there's more." She takes Seir by the hand and leads her deeper to where there's a small pool of water, fed by a small creek that pours down over a carved image of a sheaf of wheat bracketed by two antlers. There's a clearing near the pond with grass and flat ground suitable for camping.

*[*6:30 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "This is my new favorite place. Thank you for bringing us here..." She turns and sits, pulling Gunnloda into a hug, "I really need to learn how to get us out of places faster." She grumbles.

*[*6:35 PM*]* DM*:* "I'm glad you like it. It's a nice place to go when the city's too loud. It's amazing that it can get so crowded even though there are no walls to keep you in."

*[*6:40 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir hums in agreement, "As nice as Riverrun is I have a feeling I'll want to leave more often than not... unless you let me turn our room into a mini forest." She teases with a large grin.

*[*6:48 PM*]* DM*:* She chuckles and situates herself before popping open the bottle and taking a drink directly from it. She points the bottle at Seir. "Would you like some? I know you don't usually like to drink. It's smooth, but more than one sip'll probably knock you on your ass."

*[*6:53 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir starts to shake her head no, but stops herself and takes it, "I think the last few days are an exception." She takes a sip, bordering on a gulp, making a face as she does, "Plus you're the only one here, so how much trouble could I possibly get in?"

*[*7:01 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda chuckles and gently takes the bottle from her. "Easy. We'll be safe enough here, but that doesn't mean y'can't poison yourself. And it'll be harder to talk to ya when you're passed out."

*[*7:04 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* She just grins and starts fiddling with the end of one of her braids, "Being awake to hear your voice *is* much more preferable."(edited)

*[*7:14 PM*]* DM*:* She takes another large drink and settles in, gesturing to the carving. "Two o'the Nine. Arawai 'n Balinor. Brother 'n sister. Arawai's domain is much like Takara's. Balinor is more animals and hunting."

*[*7:19 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir nods, letting out a small snort as she laughs, "Think I can get them to talk to me? And maybe get them to give me something useless too?" She frowns, "That came out a lot harsher than I intended."

*[*7:21 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda turns to Seir and takes her hand. "I'm sorry she didn't come. Have you talked to her since?"

*[*7:28 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "No. I... I don't know how to. It doesn't seem fair to... to be upset at her. All I have are *things* of some of the people I... I care for most when what I want is... *them*." Seir sighs and shakes her head, "It... That's... her not showing up I think started," she frowns again, biting her lip, "it played a part in how... low I've been feeling."(edited)

*[*7:34 PM*]* DM*:* "If I knew how to summon a god, I would." She pauses for a minute and frowns. "We'll have t' find a new way t' find yer mom now that Poni's gone."

*[*7:42 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "To give her a talking to?" Seir laughs but at the mention of Poni she huffs, "*Raunnagh oassha'ro Gnome a'rl gha'agh a' raunnagh nnarr harl oaghoaa hoa naoo a'r sha.*" She growls at the end of her words. "It feels like forever ago that I wanted to find her as soon as I could and then when I got the chance... I was too afraid to do it." She shrugs, "One of these days. I hope."(edited)

*[*7:49 PM*]* DM*:* "I hope we find what y'need." She takes another drink. "I'll be there for you though. Whatever you want."

*[*7:55 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir takes the bottle from Gunnloda, taking a lot smaller sip than she had before, "And you *tor beag*? I know it hasn't been an ideal couple of days."

*[*8:03 PM*]* DM*:* She sighs then stands and pulls off her armor, dropping it all in a pile before sitting back down. "It hasn't been the best. In the running for the worst, t'be frank."

*[*8:17 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's eyes widen, like she hadn't thought about taking off her armor, and she practically tears off hers, relaxing even more as she sits in her torn tank-top and loose pants. She almost reaches for the rest before remembering where they are, "Wait, no. That would definitely get me in trouble." She mutters and then reaches out, pulling Gunnloda into her arms, "Would talking about it help?"

*[*8:21 PM*]* DM*:* She shrugs. "What is there to talk about? I've heard of him. Durgeddin. It was before my time, but every now'n then someone would claim they'd seen one of the dwarves that left with him."

*[*8:27 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir sighs, "I think there's probably a lot to talk about... like nearly dying again. But I can just sit here with you, talking about other things, if you'd like. I..." She shrugs, not really sure what else to say. "I don't want it to overwhelm you again."

*[*8:44 PM*]* DM*:* She takes another drink and Seir can tell she's past tipsy. She's flushed and seems a bit less in control of her words and actions. "Y'ever had that feeling? Where you're watching' yerself do things y' don't wanna do, but y' can't stop?"

*[*8:51 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "...sort of." Seir whispers, slowly taking the bottle from Gunnloda and setting it out of her reach.

*[*8:53 PM*]* DM*:* "Y' do?"

*[*8:55 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "When I... Four years ago. And yesterday... Yes."

*[*8:59 PM*]* DM*:* She frowns and blinks for a minute, trying to sort through the fog of her brain. "I don't... did you tell me?"

*[*9:02 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "No, not in any detail. Not yet."

*[*9:05 PM*]* DM*:* "D'you want to? Or I can ask you about *tor beag* again."

*[*9:07 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir chuckles, "No, *llaro*. Right now it's just about you. I'll tell you both after."

*[*9:24 PM*]* DM*:* "You were sad yesterday... because you couldn't do anything. But I was the one who couldn't do anything. I used all my magic. Stopping ghosts is something I'm supposed to be good at. You had to save me..." she starts counting on her fingers but gets lost after two, "a lot."

*[*9:35 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "You did a lot yesterday..." Seir chuckles again, "I think we were all just a little stir crazy to be of any use..." she takes the hand Gunnloda tried to count on and brings it to her lips, "I can't... I'm always going to make sure I'm in a position to keep you safe." Seir grimaces, "even running away from the ghost actually turned out to be a good idea. I think."

*[*9:43 PM*]* DM*:* "I saved m'last heal for you. Or me. One of us. I... I don't want to die again... I don't want you to either, but I hope one of your gods would take you if you did. I don't want you to be alone."

*[*9:49 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's breath catches in her throat, "I don't want you to be either. I wouldn't let them rest until they brought you to me. Or to them. However it would work. Mielikki isn't exactly a fan of me dying any time soon anyway. I've tried." She freezes, realizing what she just said and stays quiet, not moving.

*[*9:58 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda frowns and turns around, taking Seir's face in both her hands. "You have to promise me that you won't do that. Don't... don't leave me."

*[*10:07 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir adverts her eyes momentarily, "I'll... I want to promise you, I do. And before yesterday I would have told you it wouldn't be an issue." She looks back up, tears falling but she isn't aware of them, "*but it was*. It *is*. You... you and Ryleigh. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there to pull me back up. It's like you said earlier, it was like I was stuck, locked away watching myself fall deeper and deeper into this...this sadness and I didn't know how to pull myself out. I've never been able to pull myself out."

*[*10:13 PM*]* DM*:* "I promised I wouldn't leave without talking to you. You promise you won't either."

*[*10:21 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I promise." she whispers through her tears. "... such a mess." she mumbles as she tries to wipe them away

*[*10:28 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda leans forward and kisses her. "Life's a mess." She gestures like she's pointing at her clothes, then looks down and looks confused for a second. "Oh. Right. 'm not wearin' it." She kind of slumps back into a seated position. "I need something else to wear. A holy symbol to use. 's why the ghost didn't listen when I told 'im t' leave." She makes a face somewhere between a pout and a frown.

*[*10:42 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir laughs, "I love you..." She grins, kissing Gunnloda again. "*little shrub.* We'll get you another, maybe Mielikki or Takara, or even Ryleigh's Asten, or whoever the hells you want." She takes a second to look at her, "and purple suits you, you know."

*[*10:44 PM*]* DM*:* She squints at Seir. "'m I drunk or did y' just call me a bush?"

*[*10:48 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Yes." Seir grins, "Yes to both. *tor beag*... little shrub."

*[*10:51 PM*]* DM*:* She thinks about it a second, then turns around and sits in her usual spot leaning backwards against Seir. "Sounds better the other way."

*[*11:16 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir happily wraps her arms around Gunnloda, her tail following suit. "It does." She places a kiss behind Gunnloda's ear. "Anything else, *llaro*? Or do you want me to help you finish this bottle I hid from you and just stay here the rest of the day? We can meet up with the others tomorrow."(edited)

*[*11:19 PM*]* DM*:* "Could use a break..." She gasps dramatically. "D'you wanna go skinny dippin'? Nobody ever comes out here."

*[*11:23 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seir's eyes light up, "You know I'll take any excuse to not wear clothes."
