The group decides to spend 600 gp and twelve days in Bywater to fully fix the Buttercup before heading to Bort’s Beach. Today we start with nine days left in their visit.
Licornah and Raelynn go to Woody End, a forest about 40 miles from Bywater, High Elves live there. Rae and Licornah get 3 days and nights with the Elves.
Indigo travels home to Crickhollow to spend two days there, and then a third because Mom insisted, then day and a half back to Bywater.
Indigo's parents are happy, they are content, they are very happy he is safe and are worried that he is famous
Bixi is staying in Bywater and can go back and forth from the Enclave to the ship/harbor
You are keeping your rooms at the Green Inn just in case
But right before everyone goes on their way, the group also decides to continue carousing around town like a bunch of sailors on shore leave.

Zayden is not quite sure what happened but this morning the guards are out in full force. He heard they are looking for someone that matches his description but is wearing a dress.
Zayden befriended a local art and rare item dealer at the tavern. He offers to pay top dollar for all his adventuring loot. He also 'knows a guy' who will identify magic items at half the normal rate.
Raelynn’s potion is identified as a Philter of Persuasiveness
The next morning in the Inn
Gnome: Where is that human!!! He said he would pay when I told him it was half off, and then he ran off with that potion to give to his elven girlfriend!!!!
Gnome: I know he has to be staying here,
Gnome: WHERE IS HE!
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Look I am certain it is all a misunderstanding
Halfling, Inn Keeper: They are here with good people
Halfling, Inn Keeper: The Kings Bounder Indigo!
Halfling, Inn Keeper: You know him
Halfling, Inn Keeper: They will pay
Halfling, Inn Keeper: no worries
Halfling, Inn Keeper: OH look, spots Talwin coming down for breakfast
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Here
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Here is one of them now
Halfling, Inn Keeper: ummm
Talwin: Nods pleasantly
Talwin: I hear I owe you some money
Talwin: Can you please give me the details for the ledger?
Halfling, Inn Keeper: I think this is ahhh.... no no robe, so you are Zayden?
Talwin: I am Sir Talwin, but no worries. I feel remarkably good this morning. You're beds must be made of magic
Gnome: You... well not you, I think it was some other big person
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Can you. er? Describe him? So I can charge it back to his estate?
Zayden: Did I hear my name?
Gnome: But you owe me for identifying your potion for you
Zayden: Always a good sign I find, when people say my name that is
Gnome: Looks like a human, a male
Gnome: Better looking than you
Zayden: whoa hurtful!
Talwin: Holding back a sigh. A world weary smile
Talwin: Ah, I don't really care any more
Talwin: At the moment at least
Gnome: POINTS Yes HIM
Gnome: He is the one who owes me
Talwin: You owe this Gnome money?
Zayden: What can I do for you friend?
Talwin: Well...pay the man?
Zayden: apparently
Zayden: how much do I you Gnome? I recall words of a 50% discount?
Gnome: You owe me 500 gold for doing your identify, that potion was nice, and I did agree to give you half off
Talwin: Dear gods man. What did you identify?
Zayden: 500 gold?!?!!
Talwin: Looking at Zayden
Zayden: and that's 50% off?
Gnome: Do you have any idea how much a pearl like that is worth?
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: One moment please
Zayden: I thought it was a potion?
Gnome: You saw me crush that up
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: We could solve this easily, friend. Just let me at him.
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Zayden? He's all yours bud
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: I meant the gnome, but I'm not picky. It's been awhile
Zayden: Well I'm sorry sir but we don't have that kinda gold with us. Perhaps we could come to an arrangement?
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I know what you meant. I'm looking at Zayden at the moment. No more drinking....ever
Zayden winks
Gnome: So you will pay, yes, that is a good arrangement
Gnome: Do you have something to trade for then if you do not have enough gold?
Zayden: I have 5 gold pieces on me, you can have it even if it leaves me destitute. For a potion that's not even mine, I might add
Gnome: How did you get here
Howard Plum: Why in the gods' name is anyone paying to identify a potion you can taste for free?
Gnome: on a ship?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Perhaps he just needs a leash
Zayden: yes on a ship, we certainly didn't fly in
Gnome: HEY! You! You..... wizard.... yeah not a good come back I know
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Perhaps he needs a minder
Gnome: Good So you can give me your ship
Howard Plum: Hey you short gnome?
Gnome: that will get us even
Talwin: It's a rental.
Talwin: Chortles
Howard Plum: No one is paying 500 for an identify spell that only requires a 100 gold piece pearl
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Oh come on
Gnome: Grumbles
Howard Plum: You said it was half off so 50 gold pieces you fleeced these non magic users for then
Zayden: It does seem a bit excessive
Gnome: I did not know they had any wizard friends
Gnome: They would not know the difference
Howard Plum: Non magic users that should never pay for magic ...
Howard Plum: shakes his head
Gnome: Fine 50 gold pieces then
Talwin: I may be human, but I serve Branwyn the Mysterious. Despite my poor looks, I am not a complete moron. I will pay you twenty five gold pieces to leave us alone
Talwin: Fifty percent off remember
Zayden: I think you look great Talwin
Gnome: OH NO NO WAY YOU HUMAN
Gnome: 50 gold
Gnome: Your own wizard agrees
Talwin: Fifty percent off
Talwin: Sing
Gnome: See
Talwin: Howard. Did I not hear fifty percent off
Gnome: It should have been at least 100
Howard Plum: 50% of 100 gold
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: I thought they were friends. Is this how gnomes treat friends?
Talwin: Fifty gold go away please.
Talwin: Drops sack
Howard Plum: If you got scammed then you should pay him
Talwin: You owe me fifty gold Zayden
Howard Plum: sighs
Gnome: Thank you!
Gnome: Very glad to do business with you
Zayden: Alright Tal
Talwin: Grunts
Talwin: What’s for breakfast
Zayden: I mean it was Rae's potion, I feel like that should factor into it
Gnome: Hey human wizard, do you need any supplies? I can give them to you at half off
Howard Plum: We can pay from party funds
Gnome: We agree on the price first
Gnome: grins
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Talwin: I'll leave him in your good hands
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: slice him!
Howard Plum: But next time you want magic identified, PLEASE come to me or the priestesses first
Gnome: I have crickets
Gnome: and jade
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I'm hungry. Maybe later
Gnome: hard to come by
Howard Plum: Please go away little man
Howard Plum: Crickets are not hard to come by
Gnome: Lucky Crickets!
Howard Plum: I have no use for them anyway
Talwin: We may have been interested if I had not just paid fifty for something I don't believe is fifty gold little man
Gnome: will give you a bonus in your card games
Talwin: You shot your credibility with us
Gnome: I can almost guarantee it
Talwin: I can almost guarantee you are lying
Gnome: I have never lied... to you
Howard Plum: laughs
Talwin: Laughs
Talwin: No, but you did mislead. And everyone down the river will know it
Talwin: For the measly price of Fifty gold pieces
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: I need a beer
Gnome: Eh, the big folk are always thinking they are better than us
Talwin: Why?
Zayden: will do Howard
Gnome: Because they forget that we live here too
Talwin: I didn't think badly of you until you asked for five hundred gold pieces for a identify spell?
Talwin: Blinks
Talwin: I am sorry to hear that sir. But I haven’t mistreated anyone of your stature
Gnome: How many Hin or Gnomes do you ever talk with?
Talwin: Countless
Gnome: Give me a count
Talwin: We even have many who work with our mines. They are paid well for it
Talwin: Fifty
Gnome: Stares at Talwin
Talwin: I have a ledger one moment
Talwin: Rummages for mine journal
Talwin: Opens up and blows parchment
Talwin: Alphabetical?
Talwin: Or numerically paid?
Gnome: Is visibly impressed
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: What about the admiral and the little annoying one? Perhaps that would hold sway with this creature
Zayden: I was pretty inebriated, that should probably factor into it as well I imagine, plus the art dealer, he may have been setting me up
Gnome: Well that just means you are a Owner, not letting people control their own lands
Gnome: Is less certain in his bluster
Talwin: They could riot and we wouldn't have lands. We pay them very well and offer them protection from goblin hordes. I do not tolerate Slavery in my lands
Talwin: Visibly Red
Talwin: Shakes head.
Talwin: In lady Branwyn’s lands
Talwin: I need a beer Sir
Gnome: Who ever that is
Talwin: Turns to Barkeep
Zayden: Beer's on me!
Zayden: Barkeep, beer my friend please
Talwin: Long Story. But regardless, don't be so hasty to judge big people. I know plenty of assholes whatever race they are
Zayden: this true, there is no shortage or a--holes in this world, or the next
the gnome goes away mollified and impressed that the Big People might know more about gnomes and hin than he thought originally
Talwin, Zayden and Howard are in the common room, breakfast is served,
twice as much as they expected, as the inn keeper is treating them like Indigo is there
Talwin: Sir, you are gracious even when Indigo is not here. We are grateful
Talwin: Talwin will tip a little extra for the kindness
Not too many humans to look for
but the inn keeper takes care of him
Bixi has gained so much priestly experience she has earned the title of Master Bixi Fizzlebang or Story Teller Master Bixi Fizzlebang as her title in full.
She wears four lozenges on her priestly robe and the priestess of the enclave creates a special Book to add to the bottom of the row of four to indicate her new title
Everyone is back at the Green Inn for the evening before leaving in the morning
Licornah and Rae back from the woods
Indigo back from Family for the first time in well over a decade
Zayden and Craigh and Howard (and Talwin) have spent time in town learning about Hin culture, some bits of Gnome culture, spending time around the port and Zayden went on a fishing trip
Overall relaxed and enjoyable life
everyone gathers back to get ready to head out
Halfling, Female : Runs into the Inn
Halfling, Female : WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!
Indigo: I'm not doing anything
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] I am going on an adventure!!!
Halfling, Female : [Translation] Do not talk back to me Daffodil
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] It is Daphene!!!! I keep telling you that
Raelynn: Um, maybe speak slower?
Halfling, Inn Keeper : [Translation] Look here Daffy
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] I HATE that name!
Indigo: You can't come with us! I don't even know who you are!
Halfling, Female : [Translation] You have a perfectly good name
Indigo : [Translation] You can't come with us! I don't even know who you are!
Raelynn: And most of us can't understand you...
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] Story teller! Tell her that I am coming with you
Halfling, Young Female: I am sorry
Halfling, Young Female: I am trying to make sure that my mother understands that I have to go with the Story Teller
Halfling, Young Female: that I am on an adventure
Halfling, Young Female: and that I have Bounder Indigo to help protect me
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] Please just tell her it is ok
Halfling, Female : What do you mean
Halfling, Female : Who?
Raelynn : [Translation] How many languages do you speak?
Halfling, Female : Looking around
Indigo: Maybe we should go while they're arguing ...
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] Three, well I speak three but I can only write in Hin
Raelynn: And what Storyteller? Did I miss something?
Halfling, Young Female: I am telling you mother that the Story Teller needs me
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] Tell her please
Halfling, Female : [Translation] You are not leaving this town!
Craigh: Craigh waits for the rest of the group, his few possessions already loaded into his small pack.
Raelynn : [Translation] Yes, yes, but which story teller so I can help you?
Raelynn : [Translation] I mean I always like making new friends, but I'm a bit lost here.
Bixi Fizzlebang: So... I guess she wants to come with us?
Indigo: There isn't room on the ship for another person
Halfling, Young Female : [Translation] I need to go out on an adventure, my mother will never let me, she did when she was younger than me! Please just take me with you
Indigo: They would have to stay in the hold like cargo
Bixi Fizzlebang: There is, though, we lost Thistle!
Raelynn: There isn't? I mean with Thistle off doing... whatever she's doing....
Raelynn: looks briefly sad
Bixi Fizzlebang: And that fisherman surely isn't going back with us
Halfling, Female : See you are putting these nice people out,
Indigo: tries to count on his fingers
Bixi Fizzlebang: And she wants to learn from the Master Storyteller so, you know
Halfling, Female : I mean who are they
Raelynn: Oh! We do need to say bye to him before we leave unless he planned on that... did he? I thought he'd stay here.
Halfling, Young Female: MOTHER!
Raelynn: Oh! Hi! I'm Raelynn.
Zayden: Yes we already have a fisherman in this crew thank you very much
Raelynn: But who is this Story Teller? What did I miss??
Halfling, Young Female: This is the Kings Bounder Indigo!!! and Story Teller Bixi!!!!
Halfling, Young Female: They are Famous!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Me!
Raelynn: gasps
Halfling, Young Female: EVERYONE wants to travel with them
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm famous now! Ghost stories and whatnot
Halfling, Young Female: and they are letting me come!
Raelynn: Bixi! I need the deets! N-- wait not now, but definitely later.
Halfling, Young Female: I will be famous
Craigh: Should we charge tickets?
Halfling, Young Female: and Indigo will protect me
Halfling, Young Female: It is only fair
Raelynn: You can't ask someone to protect you. I mean, he will because he's brave and kind, but you shouldn't rely on someone else.
Halfling, Young Female: You left home when you were younger than me
Bixi Fizzlebang: What is your name?
Halfling, Young Female: See!
Bixi Fizzlebang: And what are your skills?
Halfling, Young Female: Indigo will protect me!
Indigo: smiles
Indigo: If you come with us, yes
Indigo: I think her name is Daffy
Raelynn: But why do you need to come with the Story Teller? To hunt ghosts or....?
Craigh: Do we accept runaways now?
Bixi Fizzlebang: She wants to be an adventurer!
Raelynn: Oh. Okay.
Raelynn: Well Thistle was a runaway. Although I wasn't here when you all accepted her.
Raelynn: and Bixi ran away, didn't see?
Halfling, Young Female: Daffodil is the name my mother gave me but I like Daphene
Bixi Fizzlebang: I didn't “run away” per se... I just... left
Raelynn: And... hmm.... I bet we took in other runaways I'm forgetting about
Bixi Fizzlebang: And she's not running away, she just told her mom she's coming with us!
Raelynn: Oh, well see? That's much better!
Indigo: Her mom doesn't seem happy
Halfling, Female : Wait she is really going with you? Where are you going?
Raelynn: Well, I don't know. What is she going to do? We all do help each other out.
Daphene: We are going....
Daphene: Looks at the group
Indigo: Everywhere
Raelynn: We're heading to Dryads Lair for a bit to help Talwin out then, well, yes, everywhere.
Daphene: See!
Daphene: Adventures!
Bixi Fizzlebang: How old are you, Daphene?
Raelynn: Back to Dragon Fen for a bit, maybe to... um, well other places I won't mention.
Daphene: ANCIENT! I am 56
Halfling, Female : You are a CHILD!
Raelynn: looks to Indigo to find out how old that is
Indigo: that's not a child
Halfling, Female : You should be learning how to maintain a household
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ah, she's fine!
Raelynn: For an elf it is...
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's plenty old enough to adventure!
Daphene: Mother I have sold how many works now?
Daphene: SEE!
Raelynn: Works?
Daphene: The Elves believe in me
Bixi Fizzlebang: And hey, I didn't want to manage a household either!
Daphene: and the Story Teller believes in me
Bixi Fizzlebang: And now look at me! Storyteller!
Raelynn: Wait what works, though?
Daphene: I am going on an ADVENTURE!!!! she laughs
Raelynn: I have so many questions.
Daphene: Oh I do carvings
Bixi Fizzlebang: What are your skills, Daphene? Do you know spells, do you know how to fight? Cook? Swim? Anything?
Daphene: I am a ranger
Daphene: Well not a good one
Raelynn: Oh! Like N'laea!
Daphene: Not like Indigo
Raelynn: Um, well, she's a good one though...
Daphene: I learned short swords like him though
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, you'll have plenty of time to learn and practice with us!
Craigh: Is Life Insurance a thing around here? I feel like it should be.
Indigo: If she doesn't like it or something happens we can always drop her off again on the way back
Daphene: You have to take me
Indigo: We do?
Indigo: laughs
Daphene: Or I will just go with the next group that shows up
Raelynn: She'll probably sneak on the ship.
Daphene: and they will not have Indigo to protect me
Daphene: or the Story Teller who needs me
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah! See!? Hey, Daphene, if you ever want to leave us, I'll help you pay for your trip home, and try to arrange safe travels for you
Raelynn: Oh, what's the harm if we have room?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]
Daphene: runs and HUGS Bixi
Craigh: Depends on the next lich or dragon we encounter, I assume.
Daphene: Then turns and goes up to her Mom
Raelynn: Shhhhhhh!
Daphene: I will miss you
Daphene: I love you
Daphene: But I need to go
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'll make sure she writes!
Daphene: (stopping a tear) Please
Halfling, Female : Looks in anguish
Indigo: We'll take care of her
Indigo: Promise
Halfling, Female : If you promise to write
Halfling, Female : Looks at Indigo, Thank you Sir Indigo
Bixi Fizzlebang: We've had some rough adventures but everyone I've been adventuring with is completely 100% fine right now!
Indigo: bows
Halfling, Female : She is not that bad of a girl, just impetuous
Halfling, Female : She needs a good hand to guide her
Raelynn: I hope she likes make up parties...
Raelynn: I need more girl time.
Halfling, Female : [Translation] Do you think this Story Teller can help her?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Plus, once we get back home, I'm planning on setting up a home there, she can stay with me, she'll be fine!
Indigo : [Translation] Bixi is real good at stories. She will help her for sure
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Hands a handkerchief to the mother
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Come back tonight to see her off,
Bixi Fizzlebang: We could use a ranger!
Halfling, Inn Keeper: They will be putting on a show tonight
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Looking at Zayden and Howard
Howard Plum: Errr ... I'm watching a show
Raelynn: Oh! I was hoping to do so as well.
Zayden: me?
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Wonderful
Raelynn: Yes! Remember, Zayden? Duet?
Halfling, Inn Keeper: Three people on stage
Zayden: Alright lets do it!
Raelynn: And Howard can dance!
Halfling, Inn Keeper: It will be great
Raelynn: It will!
Raelynn: beams
Howard Plum: Dance?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden is a great musician, Daphene, you'll enjoy this
Raelynn: Well, yes! You did great last time!
And with that, Daphene Hardfoot becomes Bixi’s henchperson and a member of the group. (Hope she likes boars)
And as the evening comes, Zayden leads the performance with the help of Raelynn and Howard for their last night at the inn in Bywater.
Zayden: I thought we could dedicate tonight’s performance to our darling buttercup as she heals and readies for the next leg of our voyage
Indigo: claps
Indigo: Yay!
Zayden: Hello good people of so and so!
Zayden: Thank you for being here with us on this beautiful night
Indigo: claps
Zayden: as we feast, our companion ship heals in her effort to transport us on the next leg of our journey
Youtargim: Sits back and relaxes
Zayden: And we'd like to remember all those objects, live or not, that help us in our daily lives, that allow us to be who we are
Raelynn: This is an odd duet start but okay...
Raelynn: mutters

The crowd politely claps but it is more of a “be nice to those poor people they tried hard”
Raelynn: clears her throat and shows Zayden how to properly bow
Zayden: ohhhh ok!
Raelynn: Ugh, they just don't know a good show when they see it. My voice was perfect!
Raelynn: At least we look pretty.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I feel you, Rae. They didn't like my jokes that one time either.
Raelynn: It must be this town. Maybe we'll have better luck in Dryads Lair.
Howard Plum: I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't have gone up there
Raelynn: Oh, it's fine. Sometimes the crowd is just... not drunk enough.,
Zayden: No worries Howard, every performer bombs sometime during his or her career, it builds character
Craigh: Hin might have slightly different tastes in entertainment.
Raelynn: Yes maybe we should have dragged Indigo up here...
Raelynn: Or the new girl.
Zayden: Yes they probably only enjoy scamming people!
Raelynn: We'll figure it out for next time!
Howard Plum: I think this should most definitely not be my career, but I appreciate your kindness
Raelynn: You are very good at whistling! Maybe, um, jig a little less next time.
Zayden: a side gig then
Zayden smiles
Raelynn: And more colors in the sparkles rather than, er, no sparkles.
Raelynn: We just all caroused too much. That's all.
Bixi Fizzlebang: You should have used your glitter spell! That's always impressive!
Howard Plum: Thank you Miss Raelynn
Daphene: stares wide-eyed
Daphene: That was AMAZING
Raelynn: Of course! And if you ever want dancing lessons, you only need to ask!
Then a Hin band gets on stage and starts to perform
Howard Plum: Oh but the glitter spell would have blinded the audience! ... Wait ... maybe that would have helped!
Indigo: cheers the Hin band
So the last night in town
Raelynn: watches with confusion
as you are listening to music
Zayden: I guess that's pretty good too
Youtargim: I refilled the stores for the morning
Indigo: Thanks Youtargim
Indigo: Tell me how much gold we owe
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, Yogi, this is our new recruit, Daphene. Daphene, this is Yout. He's... necessary.
Youtargim: I just told them it was for Bounder Indigo and that seemed to handle things
Indigo: That was nice of them
The next side
and then the final song of their set
