Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

and so you all ARRIVE in the courtyard of the Inn of the Lost Eagle

Stable boy: Who are you?

Stable boy: WHERE did you come from?

Raelynn: Hmm, you weren't here last time, were you?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is Gerry around?

Noble with horse: Boy! Where is my guard?

Craigh: The Countess Branwyn, and right here. A while ago.

Noble with horse: looks at the group, sniffs, you look .... presentable

Raelynn: And you look.... less than.

Craigh: checks his boots for horse poop

Stable boy: Yes Sir, just a moment Sir,

Stable boy: I will get him out of the Inn for you

Noble with horse: So

Noble with horse: You have heard of this lovely place I take it?

Noble with horse: The atmosphere is so cleansing

Bixi Fizzlebang: louder; IS GERRY AROUND?

Raelynn: Quite lovely with the sunshine, isn't it?

Noble with horse: Lovely to not have The Mist isn't it?

Craigh: May we know who we're talking with?

Noble with horse: Looks at the gnome, Why do you want to talk to a lowly barkeep?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry is my friend, and has way more manners than you, apparently

Noble with horse: I am Lord Goplin

Noble with horse: and you my little gnome should go back to your burrow and let your betters deal with the world

Branwyn: And he owns the Inn you are staying at Lord Goplin

Branwyn: I would watch your words

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, he definitely has more manners than you

Noble with horse: Looks at Branwyn

Branwyn: You are in Dragon Fen and you should be respectful to my friends

Noble with horse: Lady, I can see that you feel compassion for your companion, I admire that, but sometimes they do get out of hand, like a child that needs to be disciplined

Branwyn: That would be Countess Branadarus to you

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ummm, not unless we've time traveled. Gerry is a full grown adult who is very kind and capable of making his own decisions

Noble with horse: He BLINKS

Noble with horse: Are you certain you want to go about claiming to be the lost Countess?

Raelynn: Are you certain you can risk disbelieving her?

Branwyn: Are you certain you wish to be doubting me?

Branwyn: smiles at Raelynn

Noble with horse: I have heard that the Queen put two pretenders to death, I would be careful

Branwyn: looks at this Lord

Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 20]

Stable boy: Sir, Gerry says that your man will be out shortly,

Raelynn: Perhaps you could expand on that, sir?

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]

Raelynn: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 11]

Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 11]

He is wearing traveling clothes with a large orange diagonal stripe from upper left to lower right

Craigh nips out to look up at the sky, just to make sure it looks the same as it did when they left.

Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]

N'laea: Just ask him what year it is.

Yes the clear sky here in the courtyard looks like morning, just as when you left, there might be more clouds in the sky it might rain

Branwyn: focuses on his shirt and casts

Branwyn: [INIT] [MOD:Continual Light][Reaction Adj: -1] [d10+1 = 9]

Branwyn: Now everyone can see what a fool you are

Branwyn: You are a beacon of idiocy

Noble with horse : Blinks and looks down

Noble with horse : Looks up

Noble with horse : Looks down

Branwyn: I believe you were just leaving?

Branwyn: Indigo will open the gate for you

Gerry: Lord Goplin, Your man is coming, he is .... getting arranged after his night with the..... BRANWYN

Gerry: I mean Countess

Gerry: Indigo!

Gerry: What ! WHA. How

Gerry: I mean

Branwyn: Hello Gerry!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh thank gods

Gerry: Welcome back Countess

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry, are you ok? Is this guy treating you ok?

Gerry: Who?

Gerry: OH you are ..... um.... Blissy?

Bixi Fizzlebang: points to Goplin

Craigh: Umm.. the guard spent the night with the Branwyn? Did anyone else hear that, or just me?

Gerry: Yes I am good with the Inn than you

Raelynn: I did, but I don't think he meant that.....probably...?

Bixi Fizzlebang: glances at Craigh

Bixi Fizzlebang: An impersonator?

Gerry: What?

Branwyn: sighs

Gerry: OH you mean the fake Branwyn

Branwyn: He was interrupted and said my name

Licornah: :: looks around at the people and feels confused ::

Gerry: Yes I should take that more seriously

Raelynn: Wait there is a fake Branwyn? Another one?

Gerry: You could be another false Countess

Bixi Fizzlebang: What is happening here?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Would the fake Branwyn have all of us with her?

Raelynn: Um, a fake Branwyn with a fake Indigo?

Gerry: Although none of the others knew to show up with a gnome

Raelynn: And a fake Tiberius?

Raelynn: And yeah, the rest of us?

Gerry: Just a moment

Gerry: Lord Goplin, here is your guard

Gerry: Please be careful reentering the Mist, I do hope that the Governor can help you if you need anything

Gerry: Look for Sundown if you suffer any ill effects

Gerry: Please Countess come inside

Raelynn: Err, I thought he did accounting?

Branwyn: Thank you

Gerry: Bows to the Lord

Gerry: waits for him to be gone

Gerry: Is it really you Countess?

Branwyn: Of course it is!

Branwyn: You have seen me. Who else could I be?

Gerry: As Lord Goplin said there have been others who tried

Gerry: They looked like you

Raelynn: Did they know not to ask for honey?

Gerry: they just did not have the right stories

Gerry: grins at Rae

Raelynn: smiles back

Gerry: Lord Ilero will be relieved to have you home

Branwyn: How ... how long have we been gone?

Gerry: I am certain that Jilly will too

Gerry: Oh

Branwyn: To us we have been gone but a few days

Gerry: what day is it?

Gerry: It is the 27th

Raelynn: Of....?

The date is See____se, 27th Fey (Winter), 357 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous

The time is 8:20 AM

Craigh: Huh. I wonder if I've outlived any of my enemies?

Raelynn: You had enemies?

Branwyn: 6 years!!!

Bixi Fizzlebang: How many enemies did you have?

Branwyn: Tiberius! The children! We have to get home right away

Branwyn: Now!!

Gerry: Well I think they are ok

Branwyn: They must think we are dead!

Gerry: Jilly has been handling things quite well

Gerry: actually Jilly insisted you were not

Gerry: but she was

Branwyn: They are MY children!

Gerry: restless

Gerry: Yes Countess

Craigh gives Bixi a 'later' gesture.

Branwyn: I don't want Jilly handling things

Gerry: If there is anything I can do

Raelynn: Um, maybe spread the word the real Countess is back?

Branwyn: I have to go. You all can stay for a while but I need to go home

Raelynn: Um, I don't if you need anything, but we can go for... moral support?

Bixi Fizzlebang: As long as Gerry is ok, and that jerk outside isn't giving him trouble, I'm happy to go back with you

Branwyn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 8]

Raelynn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 19]

Craigh: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 6]

Indigo: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

N'laea: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 20]

Raelynn: barely catches N'laea before she passes out and nearly passes out herself

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry, you're ok here?

Gerry: Certainly

Gerry: and I think it will only get better from here now that Branwyn is really back

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok then, we'll try to visit soon! Thank you!

Bixi Fizzlebang: follows the others into the mist

So the group goes OUT onto the road

Licornah: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 19]

Raelynn: I miss that feast....

so the group breaks out into the Mist and the elves fall sick

so Branwyn and Tiberius go rushing over the (new) roadway towards the Manor House

Craigh will stay with the elves.

Jilly: (Hearing the noise in the main hall as Branwyn and Tiberius come rushing in) WHO is making that racket! DAL and DE you better not be back so soon!

Jilly: Comes out

Branwyn: DEMI! DAHLIA!

Jilly: Jaw drops

Jilly: Then laughs

Branwyn: Jilly! We're home

Jilly: THISTLE!!!!! You did not tell me it was today!

Branwyn: How are the children?

Jilly: RUNS to Branwyn and HUGS her

Thistle: No but I TOLD you they'd be back!

Branwyn: Hugs Jilly tight

Branwyn: I'm so sorry

Jilly: Yes Of course they were coming back, I said I would go get them if they did not come home soon

Jilly: You said they were happy, so I

Thistle: But you never told me how....

HUGS Branwyn again

Jilly: So

Jilly: Looking at Thistle

Thistle: I told you.

Ilero Sauscha: clears his throat. Hope it you. Getting tired of tossing fakes into cells or executing t'em.

Thistle: grins

Jilly: Looks back at Branwyn

Jilly: OH NO, Where is Indigo!

Thistle: Illero's been really good at it!

Branwyn: Ilero!

Jilly: I mean the others too but Indigo, .....

Branwyn: I'm so glad to see you! And Thistle

Branwyn: Oh Indigo is back with Craigh and Bixi escorting the elves. They all got sick

Thistle: finally gets up to hug her

Ilero Sauscha nods and smiles, although he tries to suppress it some. Gots ask a question first.

Branwyn: Where are the children?

Branwyn: looks at Ilero

Jilly: Off chasing after a lost cow

Thistle: Pfft, just show me your palm.

Ilero Sauscha: We bot' has cup of feat'er quills on our desks. How many in each cup?

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: Four

Ilero Sauscha finally relaxes and smiles for real.

Jilly: WAPS Ilero with a spoon

Jilly: You knew it was her

Ilero Sauscha: 'Bout time.

Branwyn: People were really trying to impersonate me?

Jilly: OH yes!

Branwyn: How would that even be possible?

Jilly: The queen put out a reward for your return

Thistle: They sucked at it.

Branwyn: laughs

Ilero Sauscha: Two looked like you, t'ree claimed to be your “messengers”

Jilly: Well that was before Ilero took over

Ilero Sauscha: Hye t'ink we still gots one in t'e dungeon.

Jilly: The first year or so was not too bad

Jilly: She is so grumpy Ilero,

Branwyn: But they wouldn't have known my spells

Ilero Sauscha: Just like old times, Jilly.

Jilly: One of them tried to say they were hit on the head

Thistle: Uh, well they were... after.....

Jilly: Dah is very pretty

Branwyn: Dragon Fen?

Jilly: and rumor has it that the Queen is looking to marry her to one of her sons

Branwyn: She's just a baby

Jilly: Dem is going to have babies if he is not careful

Ilero Sauscha shrugs. “Politics. And time passed.”

Jilly: Shur needs to keep an eye on him

Jilly: SIX YEARS

Thistle: Oh let him have his fun.

Jilly: HOW could you be gone for six years!

Branwyn: It was the Elf lands! They have no sense of time whatsoever

Ilero Sauscha nods towards Jilly. “His goot question.”

Thistle: She went with ELVES, Jilly. What did you expect? I told you!

Branwyn: I'm never going back there

Jilly: Did you have a grand adventure?

Branwyn: We were only there a few days and we come back to ... this!

Jilly: So you did not even have an adventure?

Jilly: Is that why Indigo needs to help the Elves?

Branwyn: I'll let Indigo tell you all the gory details. We were in a giant fortress basement full of bugbears and giants

Branwyn: We brought back much treasure though

Thistle: Wait, I thought you said Elfland?

Jilly: A giant fortress sounds complicated,

Branwyn: Yes apparently everyone lives in elf land except humans

Branwyn: Orc, ogres, dwarves,

Jilly: Bugbears? was Billy there?

Branwyn: I wish! None to speak with

Thistle: Seriously?? Ugh, I'm never going to visit an elven city at this rate!

Jilly: I suppose not

Jilly: I did not think Elves had cities, Shi always talks about treetops

Thistle: She says there's a market on the ground for visitors but she still won't take me!

Jilly: How long do you think Indigo will take ?

Branwyn: We returned the cloak and the goddess' avatar thought we stole it and returned it because ... I have no idea. Then they gave us a quest in the giant stronghold

Jilly: You had to stay in case I had to go rescue them

Thistle: Hmph.

Branwyn: As long as it takes to drag three Mist sick elves down the road?

Jilly: We should get dinner ready

Ilero Sauscha rolls his eyes, looking as if he's heard that statement all too often.

Jilly: The Queen is very happy with Lord Ilero

Jilly: nods at Branwyn

Thistle: But he hates being away from his tower all the time.

Branwyn: Of course she is. She always like Ilero

Branwyn: I am so sorry Ilero

Ilero Sauscha: Hye *very* glad you back.

Jilly: OH wait till Snee tells you about the Silver mine

Branwyn: Has Nevin driven you insane with all the morning meetings?

Ilero Sauscha: Your t'rone not very comfortable.

Nevin Ognorn: coughs

Branwyn: chuckles

Ilero Sauscha: Hye just ignore him when too much. Drive him crazy.

Nevin Ognorn: You wear it well Lord Ilero

Branwyn: Hello Nevin. It is good to see you

Ilero Sauscha shrugs nonchalantly and nods in thanks.

Nevin Ognorn: Thistle you need to go gather the children please

Nevin Ognorn: I am certain that De and Dah will be back soon

Branwyn: Yes please!

Nevin Ognorn: and our four are anxious for your lessons

Thistle: Wait why is it my job still? Isn't that what Jilly is for?

Nevin Ognorn: They are insisting that Aunty Thistle teach them again about the lines

Branwyn: Four?

Ilero Sauscha: T'e curse of competence, T'istle.

Thistle: Insisting because you insist...

Thistle: sticks her tongue out at Ilero and goes to get them

Jilly: They are a handful but I think that Kelly is becoming a decent cook

Nevin Ognorn: I wish they could use that energy for writing and not just that hand waving

Jilly: Go upstairs, your rooms are just as you left them

Jilly: I will send for you for dinner

Jilly: and we will all celebrate

Ilero Sauscha: Hye send patrol out to get t'e elves.

Jilly: I do hope they are home in time

Branwyn: But ...

Jilly: Jilly looks at Branwyn

Branwyn: I want to be here when the children come back

Jilly: It will be a wonderful surprise for them

Jilly: They know to be back for dinner

Branwyn: Will it? What if they are angry?

Jilly: and Ancien will watch over them

Jilly: Laughs

Jilly: They are going to be

Jilly: But they will be happy too

Branwyn: All right. We can go change and we'll be back down.

Branwyn: Thank you Jilly

Ilero Sauscha steps out to find a guard and have him send a wagon to the Inn and pick up a band of sick elves with a halfling escort, plus miscellaneous others.

Time passes and the group all gathers for dinner, except for the sick elves who need their rest.

Jilly: So I would have made something nicer for all of us if Thistle had told me we were celebrating today

Jilly: But I do have a nice ham

Indigo: All your food is good Jilly!

Jilly: and we brought out some good roasted roots

Thistle: You didn't ask for an EXACT date.

Ilero Sauscha: Hyou not made bad food yet.

Indigo: Roots?

Thistle: But I definitely could have told you if you did. Yep.

Indigo: I take that back

Jilly: Places steaming potatoes and turnips in front of Indigo with butter and spices

Jilly: If you think the food where you were is better I can take this back

Indigo: No thanks!

Indigo: takes a big whiff

Indigo: This is good

Indigo: grins

Jilly: gently taps him with a spoon

Nevin Ognorn: We have the good wine this evening

Nevin Ognorn: for a toast

Nevin Ognorn: distributes glasses all around

Thistle: Yessss

Nevin Ognorn: Hands one half full to each of the kids

Nevin Ognorn: A full one to Thistle

Nevin Ognorn: To the return of the Countess!!!!!

Nevin Ognorn: CHEERS

Branwyn: drinks gratefully

Branwyn: Thank you. It is good to be back

Thistle: quietly, Wow, he's really happy. I don't think he believed me....

Tiberius Branadarus: I never thought being home would be so different

Branwyn: Nevin, you will send the necessary letters and announcements?

Nevin Ognorn: I already have

Branwyn: I know. It is so strange

Nevin Ognorn: I asked Kenna to send a message

Ilero Sauscha hoists a toast and drinks to it.

Nevin Ognorn: Jennivive will be most relieved

Branwyn: laughs

Ilero Sauscha: Oh gods. Hope she not visit again.

Nevin Ognorn: The Queen had said if anything happened to Lord Ilero that she would be in charge

Ilero Sauscha: Hye been watching back ever since.

Branwyn: There are many favors I owe her that she likely thought she was not going to be able to collect on

Nevin Ognorn: Since her accident she has not been as nice as before

Branwyn: She would have given Dragon Fen to Jennevive?

Nevin Ognorn: Only as regent

Branwyn: Accident? What happened?

Nevin Ognorn: Nods to Dahlia,

Nevin Ognorn: She will always be your heir

Jilly: I think that someone spilled acid on her

Branwyn: Oh no!

Dahlia Branadarus: shifts uncomfortably

Branwyn: Where is she? I must write to her

Jilly: I think she is with the Queen

Branwyn: At Jistille?

Jilly: They are in the south I last heard

Ilero Sauscha: Small favors.

Jilly: Jistille is very quiet

Jilly: sighs

Branwyn: Araheal?

Jilly: Shakes her head

Ilero Sauscha: Was a little while 'go.

Branwyn: Ohhh ... I am so sorry. he was such a good man.

Branwyn: I will go there soon.

Jilly: Demitrius did very nicely at the funeral

Jilly: Howard has been helping there, with your old tower

Branwyn: nods

Branwyn: I am sure he has been very helpful

Jilly: I need to go to the desserts

Nevin Ognorn: Looks at Howard,

Howard Plum: It has been quite distressing

Ilero Sauscha: He done good t'ough.

Howard Plum: A great burden but now that you are home, it shall be better

Tiberius Branadarus: Demi, tell me, how is your bow work coming? did you keep up with your swimming?

Thistle: *I offered to help, but he said no.

Tiberius Branadarus: Dah, did you ever get that curse worked out to stop the mice from getting into your books?

Dahlia Branadarus: Yes, father, but it's, um, well, I'm still working out the new side effects from that.

Branwyn: Curse? We do not cast curses!

Dahlia Branadarus: rolls eyes, It's not a real curse, mother.

Branwyn: We can look at your book tomorrow

Tiberius Branadarus: Grins

Tiberius Branadarus: I bet she is able to do a lot more now

Branwyn: Hmmm

Dahlia Branadarus: nods

Tiberius Branadarus: Was there any problems while we were gone?

Tiberius Branadarus: Remember Indigo when we fought that dragon turtle

Ilero Sauscha chuckles.

Indigo: Seems easier than what we just did

Ilero Sauscha: You miss t'e hurricane.

Tiberius Branadarus: Wow it feels

Tiberius Branadarus: what?

Tiberius Branadarus: What is a hurricane?

Indigo: A new dessert?

Ilero Sauscha: Big twisty storm, ripped up bunch of trees in Valoris.

Ilero Sauscha: Winds strong enough to pick up houses.

Indigo: Wow!

Jilly: We rebuilt all of them

Shi'Nynze: And replanted trees.

Jilly: Someone said they might be one of those ghost houses that Indigo found

Indigo: The house tried to eat someone?

Jilly: Yes

Indigo: Did you kill it?

Smiles at Shi

Jilly: Oh yes Indigo they saw the house picked up and moving in the wind and thought it was one of those that you found

Jilly: I do not think the house tried to eat anyone

Jilly: It did fall on top of a cow

Ilero Sauscha: Almost land on someone, t'ough.

Jilly: OR at least the cow was not there afterwards

Indigo: That's not good. Hope you killed the house

Ilero Sauscha: Hit not survive landing intact.

Jilly: It was in lots of little pieces

Jilly: The lighthouse was in good shape,

Tiberius Branadarus: That sounds sort of fun

Tiberius Branadarus: Well we did have fun didn't we love

Indigo: Yes, but I didn't know at what cost

Branwyn: Yes, but I didn't know at what cost

Branwyn: Look at our little ones. They are so big now!

Tiberius Branadarus: grins, both of them are going to be able to come adventuring soon

Branwyn: Before we left I had Demi sitting on the table in front of me

Tiberius Branadarus: warm smiles

Branwyn: I could carry him

Branwyn: sighs

Tiberius Branadarus: I can still carry you, can't I Demi

Ilero Sauscha: You still gots teen years to enjoy.

Demitrius Branadarus [Gnomish]: [Translation] I can walk by my self

Branwyn: looks at him

Branwyn: What was that??

Demitrius Branadarus: That was gnomish, I have been practicing

Demitrius Branadarus: A bunch of us have been out in the swamps together

Branwyn: The swamps! With who? Doing what?

Demitrius Branadarus: Exploring, fishing, hanging out

Branwyn: All right

Branwyn: I'm going to be worried about you both for a while. I need to catch up

Ilero Sauscha: Hit been helpful having him.

Ilero Sauscha nods.

Ilero Sauscha: What was Elf Land like?

Branwyn: You have all have done so much for us while we have been gone. Is there anything I can do to repay you all?

Shi'Nynze: It was not for long.

Thistle: Pfft, like you have a good gauge on that.

Indigo: It was pretty until we got to the giant place. It's weird. I thought it would all be elves and butterflies, but it was giants and bugbears and then some elves that froze us instead of talking to us until we did what they wanted

Ilero Sauscha: Sound so civilized.

Indigo: shrugs

Indigo: Other places were probably nicer

Indigo: We didn't see those

Shi'Nynze: It does not sound like you were in Aravaith proper.

Ilero Sauscha: Visited t'e slums of Elf afterlife?

Indigo: Probably not. We landed in a forest and then stumbled into the goddess. She must have been watching and the giant fortress wasn't far from there

Indigo: laughs

Shi'Nynze: nods

Shi'Nynze: I I'm not sure I'd say that sounds like... slums but...

The layer itself is slightly convex, so that while Olympus and Arvandor both occupy the highest pinnacles of land within their realms, neither citadel can see the other. Away from the settled and claimed areas, the layer grows wild quickly. Many fell beasts and creatures such as giants and cyclops roam the lands to challenge those who adventure within.

Indigo: But when we had the feast at the end a whole lot of elf lords showed up. Not sure where they came from

Indigo: Elves seem to appear when they want to over there

Shi'Nynze: Did you... ..did you meet anyone interesting there?

Ilero Sauscha: Were t'ey friendly or haughty elfs?

Indigo: They were really friendly!

Indigo: Raelynn told most of our story and then others jumped in and all the elves cheered and gave us gifts

Youtargim: It was a grand adventure

Ilero Sauscha: Umm.. gifts from fae lords? Kid stories always say t'ose come wit' prices.

Shi'Nynze: That sounds ...wonderful

Indigo: Well if the goddess Sehanine Moonbow and her avatar are interesting I guess so Shi

Indigo: grins

Indigo: And Lilifane?

Shi'Nynze: small smiles, Yes, but she is not the only one that'd interest me there.

Indigo: I got a potion I don't think it comes with a price

Indigo: I don't think Solonor was there

Indigo: Or they didn't announce themselves

Youtargim: Namsut says all magic comes with a price

Shi'Nynze: Not that's not... well, I am glad you enjoy a feast, at least. I am certain it was memorable.

Ilero Sauscha: Who Namsut?

Youtargim: My Princess' genie

Thistle: And her lover!

Thistle: You can't forget that part. Rae told me about them!

Youtargim: It is not as scandalous as you might think

Youtargim: Yes

Branwyn: Oh you have been gone from them for longer than you imagined. You should write them soon. They might want you back Youtargim

Thistle: So I should believe you, random stranger I barely know, over Rae who I know *slightly* better?

Youtargim: I will have to find a way

Youtargim: I am not sure how much Rae understands genies

Youtargim: Or how we live in the Land of Fate

Ilero Sauscha shrugs. “Me neit'er”

Youtargim: The Countess has spent as much time with Namsut as Rae did

Youtargim: so perhaps she can help you understand

Youtargim: I am grateful we are here

Thistle: No but she understands love. We talked about it a LOT, um, wow, years ago?

Youtargim: and Jilly's wonderful feast

Youtargim: Love is a wonderful conversation

Youtargim: blinks

Thistle: Eh, I got bored of the romance novels. I like the thrillers now.

Youtargim: I need some sleep I think, I should know more words than just wonderful

Youtargim: Is that three times?

Branwyn: smiles

Ilero Sauscha: Not counting.

Thistle: I started tuning you out....

Youtargim: Have you read of the 1,000 and one nights?

Ilero Sauscha: No. Sounds long.

Youtargim: lots of love and adventure there

Youtargim: clever wit

Youtargim: and daring escapes

Thistle: No, but I just finished “The Polishing” which was super creepy and interesting.

Youtargim: I will be glad for you to tell me about it in the coming days

Thistle: looks at Branwyn trying to figure out if she has to

Youtargim: I will go rest now

Youtargim: There are many things to think on

Branwyn: Goodnight Youtargim

Youtargim: I will return in the morning Countess

Ilero Sauscha: waits for him to leave. “Who t'at again”

Thistle: shrugs

Thistle: and turns back to Indigo

Branwyn: He was sent to help us with languages. I was thinking of going on a quest in the desert

Thistle: whispers, “Shi was asking about her family, not which gods you met. Ellidor or Ruavain or any names like that”

Ilero Sauscha: Looking for what?

Indigo: Ohhhh ... ummm

Indigo: They didn't really introduce themselves

Indigo: I didn't hear those names.

Indigo: I'm sorry

Thistle: still quiet, “It's okay, we just won't tell her. She didn't expect it anyways. I think... maybe? Well at least she didn't go with you.”

Indigo: quietly, “but if she did she could have asked. We were all at a table and the elves were all at theirs and only the goddess and her people were really talking to us directly”

Thistle: shakes head vehemently, “The other elves were going to come back, but shi wouldn't have. That I know this time.”

Indigo: Okay ... they did say the elves didn't have to leave

Thistle: Shi didn't believe me when I said they'd be back. She knew you all would be, but she didn't think they would be.

Indigo: Maybe they aren't done here yet

Thistle: ANYWAYS what are you all doing now? Resting?

Indigo: Probably. We have to go visit everybody and tell them we're alive

Thistle: Dragon turtles? Something about a genie?

Indigo: That'll take a while

Thistle: glancing at Shi to make sure she didn't overhear and obviously changing subjects

Indigo: Is Regor still locked up at Jistille?

Ilero Sauscha: How you want handle taking back over? Queen may want to get involved too.

Branwyn: I am not sure that anything needs to happen does it?

Branwyn: We're back and we'll send notice

Thistle: shrugs
