Hi Shadow Mother! We were still in the cat person’s office, but Marko didn't seem any better. That dude with the tattoo on his face came back with some great fish stew and tried to get us to leave, but we couldn't because Marko still smelled weird. While we waited for the cat person to come back and fix Marko, I told him all about how Jerome and I went out to the Rainbow After Rain place and became adventurers and how now we get to go on adventures. Jerome got mad, but not too mad as we talked about the adventure we are going to go on. When the big cat person came back, he said Marko looked way better but he would give Jerome the second one anyways. He and Jerome then talked about how he smells like alcohol, so we are asked never to return. Jerome and I took Marko back to talk with Mr. Rainbow about making him an adventurer too. Apparently we woke him up, but he still let us in so that Marko could be official before we go on our first adventure. Then we went looking for Klaub, but we couldn't tell him we were going on an adventure because then we couldn't go.

The whispers are back and they tell me that Klaub had a good night and a peaceful breakfast before heading back to the arm dealer’s place by the temple of Shadow Mother. They seem to think that he had a good idea to put some veggies on thin metal rods over the forge when it is cooler to make Pey’s Delights. Mr. Shooshrav liked the idea and invited Klaub to join him as a business partner when we get back from looking for Shadow Mother.

We found Klaub with Mr. Shooshrav and we went looking for a caravan that we heard about coming into town today. On the way, Klaub whispered something to Marko and he freaked out and Jerome said something about there being a rat. I wanted to ask where-rat, but Marko and Jerome were freaking out, so they probably scared it away. Then Klaub cast a spell on Marko and he didn’t smell so weird anymore. Together we then walked out of town while Jerome tried to explain to Klaub where we were going without him stopping us from going on our adventure. When we got to a very smelly place, it was called Barrelhand’s Rest and there was a great big hairy cat waiting inside for us to come and stop the smell coming from the cave behind his house.

The cave was very cool looking and Jerome saw a foot print at the bottom, so he said he was going to go investigate. I flew down with him and Marko also started down, but before we could get there to look with him, Jerome started to sink! I rushed to grab him and tried to fly him out while Marko held a spear to pull him out, but he must have had too much fish stew this morning because it took Klaub and a rope to get him out. We all climbed down after that and walked towards the inside of the cave where there were more of these footprints, but the smell was terrible. Klaub made Marko and I some masks to put my nice new flowers into to stop the smell. As we moved in further, we came to a fork and a well worn path that we took farther into the cave until we found some mushrooms, but when we got too close to them they tried to eat us. It’s okay though we easily beat them and further into the new cavern there were some green floating, glowing things that talk in our heads. They said they want us to get them a ring from a body that is stuck under one of the mushrooms and they would give us a different ring and they would stop smelling. The main one said its name was Amir and they wanted to study the ring, so we all tried to get what they wanted. When Marko got the ring, he put it on to see what it did before giving it to the glowing people, but not much happened, so Jerome and I found a little bite-y mushroom that we put into our cooking pots. (Whispering voices in my head say Klaub found that the glowing people were not the only ones in the space.) Amir and his friends seemed to think there were bad people in the cavern who they didn't want to get the ring and that is why they were being so stinky.

As Jerome and I were carrying our new pet to show Marko, he told us to run because Amir wanted to eat the person in his new ring, but after further discussion we weren't? Jerome and I finished stashing our pet before going to investigate the building and lights in the cavern where the bad person must have come from. We went to the door and knocked asking to be let in so that we could join the resistance. When we got in, there were eight human’s who reminded me of Shadow Mother, and one who says he is called Burgul Mirthblood asked us who we were and why we wanted to join. After Jerome explained, he had to give up his new ring so that we could leave, but we’re supposed to come back in a week with any information we have about the cats moving against the resistance using adventurers. They gave us some cool electrum pieces so that Marko wouldn't get hurt if people tried to hurt the cats while we were there. Then we went back to the surface to find the big cat person at the bar who paid us some shiny pieces. Klaub told him about the people hiding down there after Marko told him how heroic we all were.

After lunch, we went back to see if we could find the caravan that was coming today when we all stopped at a little shop to get some jewelry and he had some nice peyclets in a cool box that I bought so we could all have matching things before we head back to Rainbow After Rain and Kalub went back to Mr. Shooshrav’s place.
