After the circus, the group is staying the rest of the night in the inn, then in the morning heading back north
Raelynn heals Youtargim and Indigo fully before they go to sleep.
Indigo: Thanks Raelynn!
Raelynn: You look more handsome healed! Well put together and elegant!
Indigo: laughs
Raelynn: And your cuticles just shine!
Indigo: Cuticles?
Indigo: looks down at himself
Raelynn: holds her hand out to show off her nails
Raelynn: See? They don't look like scaly claws or anything because of good cuticle care!
Indigo: Ohhh I thought you meant something else
Indigo: Did mine look like scaly claws?
Indigo: looks at his hands
Raelynn: Well... they didn't look great.
Indigo: Thank you then.
Indigo: smiles
Raelynn: You're very welcome!
Youtargim: Rae's fingers are very delicate and pretty
Youtargim: Hard to believe she does all that other stuff with them
Raelynn: I've learned how to not break a nail.
Raelynn: I don't want to ruin them.
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's only slightly creepy
Raelynn: You two are welcome to join Bixi and me whenever we have a makeover party.
Youtargim: What do your fingers look like Bixi?
Youtargim: you are always digging around in the ground
Bixi Fizzlebang: hides fingers behind her back
Bixi Fizzlebang: None of your concern
Youtargim: Maybe Rae has a spell for that too
Raelynn: Oh no, I don't do any of the elemental magic.
Youtargim: I meant for her fingers
Raelynn: Bixi does, I think. Oh! Do you have wind spells, Bixi? It might help us sail.
Raelynn: It's okay, Bixi. I know what color we can paint them at the party.
Youtargim: OH really!!! Bixi that would be amazing
Youtargim: I mean the wind not the colors
Youtargim: What sort of wind can you do Licornah?
Youtargim: Indigo, how many sails are you looking for?
Thistle: I know some good wind spells.
Youtargim: really?
Indigo: Knarrs only have one usually
Indigo: You don't know spells Thistle!
Thistle: Yeah! So night before you wanna sail, you get a BIG bowl of beans. I mean big, you eat it all up.... Next morning, you can make all the wind you want.
Thistle: grins
Youtargim: I think she meant she can pass wind really well
Licornah: I don't really have wind spells... I have wyvern watch
Youtargim: See
Youtargim: Umm what is a wyvern watch Licornah?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't think I know anything useful. My spells are the more tricksy kind, not the more useful kind
Thistle: Shoulda guessed a sailor would know that trick.
Licornah: It's a flying creature that keeps watch
Youtargim: Can you summon something with wings like the Manticore Bixi?
Youtargim: Could they pull the ship?
Bixi Fizzlebang: No, they are just an illusion, not real
Licornah: No, they just watch
Youtargim: That is disappointing
Bixi Fizzlebang: I might be able to help with lighting on dark nights, or maybe with some minor weather issues, but yeah, that's probably it
Zayden: Oh I'm pooped eh?
Youtargim: How minor of weather Bixi?
Youtargim: Can you push wind to something?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I can make sort of a bubble to protect a person from the weather and make them comfortable for a short time. So... very minor.
Youtargim: That can be useful,
Zayden Goes to bed
Bixi Fizzlebang: I can sometimes use animals to see through their eyes, might be able to use some fish for scouting or something
Bixi Fizzlebang: But... minor usefulness all around
Lorie (Licornah): :: finishes her conversation with the animals and heads for the wagon to sleep ::
Everyone goes to sleep and then is back on the road in the morning.
Licornah: :: rises, prays / chants and prepares for the day ::
the morning passes uneventfully
as the group is trying to make good time they pressed forward, and towards evening are traveling through the farmlands of the Mosskin Estates
and everyone comes up upon a farmer waving on the side of the road
Indigo: waves at farmer
Thistle: waves
Farmer, Human: Hello
Zayden: Making great time eh lads?!
Talwin: Good Afternoon
Zayden waves
Zayden: Hello fellow human
Talwin: Looks at Zayden oddly
Talwin: Yes...human
Zayden shrugs
Talwin: Anyhow, Afternoon Sir.
Farmer, Human: I wanted to warn you away
Raelynn: From what?
Farmer, Human: We have had a terrible time here
Farmer, Human: This is Elsiver's farm
Indigo: You have a lot of pumpkins it looks like
Raelynn: Elsiver?
Farmer, Human: They all disappeared
Raelynn: When?
Farmer, Human: and the priest who went to investigate disappeared too
Farmer, Human: two nights ago
Talwin: Two? And nothing?
Farmer, Human: We asked the our village priest Polina to investigate and she never came back
Bixi Fizzlebang: Terrible time in what way?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe we can help!
Talwin: Any signs of struggle? Or just like they up and vanished?
Raelynn: When did she leave?
Farmer, Human: Two nights ago Polina disappeared
Raelynn: Has anything happened last night?
Farmer, Human: three nights was when the Elsiver family disappeared
Farmer, Human: I do not know, I have not gone in to see what happened
Farmer, Human: It would be very good if you could help, we need our priest
Farmer, Human: and the Elsiver family was nice
Farmer, Human: Jorge went to see if he could find a priest that would come help
Raelynn: Where's Jorge now?
Farmer, Human: but we are a small hamlet, we only have Polina here every other week
Farmer, Human: He is off trying to find someone to come save Polina at least
Farmer, Human: maybe they will care about a priestess if the do not care about us farmers
Raelynn: Hmm....
Zayden: So what are you asking again Farmer Human?
Talwin: Frowns
Raelynn: Well we do need to make camp soon....
Bixi Fizzlebang: What is your name?
Talwin: I would hope that all the farmers would be well considered
Talwin: not just the priests
Farmer, Human: I wanted to warn you from the danger
Raelynn: You did and do thank you for that.
Zayden: Thank you Farmer Human
Farmer, Weldin: My name is Weldin
Talwin: Nods gravely
Zayden: Nice to meet you Weldin, I'm Zayden but you can call me Zay for short, saves time
Farmer, Weldin: Nods
Raelynn: Raelynn.
Talwin: Talwin
Raelynn: So you're hoping we might find out what happened? They disappeared from here, yes?
Farmer, Weldin: IF you could find out that would be amazing, I was just making sure no one else suffered the same fate
Talwin: Turns to Raelynn. We already offered...but we should probably check out the farmhouse first. I want to see if there was any sign of struggle
Raelynn: That's a good idea. You're pretty observant.
Raelynn: Anything else you think we need to know, Weldin?
Zayden: Sounds good to me as well
Raelynn: Oh! Like what kind of priest Polina is?
Indigo: If they disappeared going into the house we'll disappear too
Bixi Fizzlebang: You haven't seen any yellow mold around, have you?
Zayden: Should we send in the boar first?
Talwin: Snorts but cuts off
Zayden: If he doesn't mind of course
Farmer, Weldin: I have not walked on their farmstead
Bixi Fizzlebang: Aaaabsolutely not. I was thinking maybe Weldin would keep an eye on him for us
Indigo: But the priest did and that's why she disappeared?
Farmer, Weldin: the house and barn are here, but they have several fields beyond the homestead here
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, well if we're heading up that way, Knotty will just stay with me
Farmer, Weldin: Yes Polina went into the barn, I saw that before I left to my own home
Farmer, Weldin: When she never came back we started standing watch
Raelynn: So you don't know if she ever left the barn?
Indigo: That's helpful
Zayden: Fine
Farmer, Weldin: tonight Glop is taking over
Zayden: smirks
Indigo: Maybe it's like the werehouses
Howard Plum: You are correct, Indigo. That is quite a lot of pumpkins

Licornah is in the family cemetery area and sees those are real gravestones, the Elsiver family name on all of them
Licornah: :: takes note of the stones and says a word for them and she moves through ::

Zayden: How do you treat rust normally?
Talwin: Unsheathes Two-handed

Youtargim: Bixi, is that a magical scarecrow?
Talwin: Or blunt force trauma
Talwin: Or bury it under rocks
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um, I don't know, what do magical scarecrows look like?
Zayden: what we doing here gang?
Talwin: Killing it with fire, ice, acid, I don't care, but I just lost my favorite Scale Mail gods dammit!
Talwin: Stupid rust monster
Talwin: As soon as my sword is safe, I'm heading back to beat the ever-living crap out of it!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): heads towards Talwin in hopes to be ready when I know what to do
Indigo: Howard go kill the metal monster with the magic users!
Rust Monster 1 hits Talwin in the face with its antennae.
The rust monster tried to destroy Reven, Talwin’s giant sword, but failed and so the sword survives.
Zayden: Talwin may be in some trouble no?
Indigo: Yeah running away should be more away maybe
Zayden: Run Talwin Run!
Zayden: Talwin!
Raelynn: asks Youtargim, “Why do you need to know if it's magical? Do you think it may help?”
Youtargim: I was worried this scarecrow could be attacking the farmers
Talwin: Still retreating
Talwin: Throws Reven as far as he can
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: OUCH! DON'T ABANDON ME LIKE THIS!

Zayden: moves closer to the barn past the well with the others
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe you can try to play a song. Maybe a certain frequency of sound will destroy it
Zayden: Sure what kind of song would you like Bixi?
Zayden: I take requests
Bixi Fizzlebang: No idea my friend, I'm just taking guesses here, I've never seen something that destroys metal with a touch
Zayden: Well I'll play a song, worst case scenario we get to play a nice song
