Vee Barlett: grumbles and pushes past to the dining hall
Ingrid Eichler: I NEED YOU TO BE QUIET
Ingrid Eichler: YOU SHOULD NOT WAKE THE OTHERS
Vee Barlett: calls back, "YOU FIRST."
Temperance: trails after Vee to get some tea
Levi Reed: You know what? She might be my least favorite person ever
BOB Vee and Temperance go out to find it is pitch dark, before dawn
Vee Barlett: grumbles AND curses
BOB As you go to the kitchen you see a young acolyte starting the fires and putting water on to heat
Vee Barlett: Ain't it dawn yet??
Adhita Vegne: Sorry Mamn, no it is not
Adhita Vegne: That is in another hour or so
Vee Barlett: screams internally
Adhita Vegne: Up here the sun does not come over the mountain until later in the day
Vee Barlett: Bring me the tea when it's ready, yeah? I'm gonna go lay my head down on the table until then.
Adhita Vegne: Did you want breakfast?
Vee Barlett: Bring that too, yeah.
Temperance: That would be nice, thank you.
Adhita Vegne: I do not know who is on egg duty this morning
Adhita Vegne: but I can find out when they will be cooking
Vee Barlett: Don't matter. Just bring me food and tea when it's ready. Got it?
Adhita Vegne: Yes Mamn
Adhita Vegne: I heard you are going uphill today
Vee Barlett: turns around, finds a table, and lays her head down to snooze.
Vee Barlett: screams internally again
Vee Barlett: Yeah, what about it?
Adhita Vegne: That is a brave thing
Adhita Vegne: even in the summer
Vee Barlett: Why? 'Cause of selkies and sirens?
Adhita Vegne: I hope you do good
Temperance: raises an eyebrow in intrigue
Adhita Vegne: Oh you know
Adhita Vegne: then I guess you will be ok
Vee Barlett: Is it sirens OR selkies OR both?
Vee Barlett: raises head a little in interest
Adhita Vegne: And abomidable snowmen
Vee Barlett: Where's Levi? He'd wanna hear about those.
Vee Barlett: But I don't. Tell me about the selkies and sirens.
Jericho: Emerges blearly, hungry, grumpy, and wiggling his ears with his index finger
Adhita Vegne: I can go get the eggs for you
Jericho: What about selkies and sirens?
Temperance: flips open a page, but cannot see because it's too dark
Adhita Vegne: They live in lakes
Vee Barlett: But is it both??
Vee Barlett: They ain't the same thing.
Adhita Vegne: Both of them live in lakes is what I was told as a child
Vee Barlett: What warnin' do you get to know they near?
Adhita Vegne: I heard you just get charmed and are never heard from again
Adhita Vegne: my father said his father was lost that way
Vee Barlett: No warnin? Headless fish? Torn nets? Screechin?
Ingrid Eichler: ARE WE READY TO START THE PACKING?
Jericho: Oh no
Vee Barlett: OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.
Temperance: flinches at the sound and fumbles with her collection of parchment
Ingrid Eichler: WE SHOULD GET EVERYTHING ON THE ... DO YOU HAVE A CART?
Vee Barlett: WE HAVE A MULE.
Ingrid Eichler: NORMALLY WE LOAD WAGONS
Ingrid Eichler: AHH GOOD,
Ingrid Eichler: I HOPE IT IS A BIG ONE
Jericho: Vee, do you think we can heal her ears?
Jericho: Is that even possible?
Jericho: She might talk softer
Vee Barlett: Hey, acolyte. Give me a BIG cup of tea. Gonna need it all.
Temperance: I think she might re-damage them again...
Vee Barlett: Hell if I care anymore.
Jericho: Not for the duration of our trip thoguh
Jericho: Grumbles
Adhita Vegne: I will be back with that
Vee Barlett: YOU AIN'T GOIN' WITH US YEAH?
Ingrid Eichler: I WANT TO
Ingrid Eichler: BUT I MIGHT NEED TO STAY HERE
Ingrid Eichler: WAITING TO SEE
Vee Barlett: There. She ain't so we're fine.
Ingrid Eichler: I HAVE NOT BEEN UPHILL IN TWO YEARS
Vee Barlett: YOU SHOULD STAY AND PROTECT THIS PLACE.
Ingrid Eichler: THE SNOW IS PRETTY
Vee Barlett: WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
Jericho: Hey the more the merrier if you ask me. But if we heal her ears, she might know a bit to help us Vee
Ingrid Eichler: I AM INGRID
Jericho: And be quieter in the process
Vee Barlett: INGRID. COOL.
Vee Barlett: ARE YOU A GUIDE? YOU GOOD WITH WEAPONS? OR JUST TALK LOUD?
Ingrid Eichler: I AM GOOD WITH DRUMS AND MESSAGES
Vee Barlett: Yeah, ain't sure we need this liability.
Jericho: Jericho rolls a check to diagnose her hearing issues and maybe cast an orison to heal. After he obtains consent of course.
Jericho: [SKILL] Healing [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 3]
Jericho: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 7]
BOB Yes to hearing loss but no to orison being a way to heal, that would be a cure deafness spell or heal injury
Temperance: thinks about whether loud noise could serve as a good distraction during combat
Adhita brings back a plate of breakfast for each of you
Vee Barlett: I'm gonna need more tea. Thanks, though, I guess.
Adhita Vegne: here you go
Vee Barlett: Who you?
Adhita Vegne: I am Adhita
Adhita Vegne: Just an acolyte, no circles yet
Temperance: Thank you, and I'll have to agree with more tea.
Vee Barlett: When ya get those?
Adhita Vegne: When I show that I can cast a spell
Vee Barlett: How long that take?
Adhita Vegne: I hope to be blessed soon
Adhita Vegne: It is in the Gods hands
Vee Barlett: Hmm, that's why I ain't a priest. I like being in control of my own destiny.
Jericho: Who's your diety you worship?
Jericho: Or are you a visitor?
Adhita Vegne: I like them all, they all seem friendly and helpful
Jericho: Smiles
Vee Barlett: You from these parts?
Adhita Vegne: Oh no
Adhita Vegne: My family grew up down hill near the coast
Vee Barlett: Where abouts?
Adhita Vegne: The Isle of Corrin
Vee Barlett: Oh, nice. But why come on land?
Vee Barlett: It's so far... inland here.
Adhita Vegne: I wanted to see why the mountains sparkled
Vee Barlett: Eh, guess that makes sense, but sea sparkles too...
Adhita Vegne: But you see that every day
Vee Barlett: And it's pretty each time.
Adhita Vegne: I will see that again some day
Adhita Vegne: After I learn how to use spells
Vee Barlett: That's what I keep tellin' myself the longer I am away from it...
Vee Barlett: So you just gonna...wait until the gods bless ya? Can't do anything to speed it up?
Adhita Vegne: If I serve the church faithfully I have been told that I will be blessed if they see me worthwhile
Vee Barlett: Ah, there's the catch. Always is one, yeah?
Ingrid Eichler: YOUR MULE IS NICE
Ingrid Eichler: THEY BIT ME TO WELCOME ME
Vee Barlett: ARE YOU A GOBLIN? HE LIKES BITIN' THEM
Ingrid Eichler: CLAUDIUS
Ingrid Eichler: DO YOU HAVE THE CHILD?
Vee Barlett: Gods how does anyone sleep with her around here??
Claudius : Of course!
Ingrid Eichler: GOIOD
Ingrid Eichler: YOU ARE GOING UPHILL SOON
Ingrid Eichler: THESE NICE PEOPLE WILL BE WITH YOU
Vee Barlett: WHAT?
Ingrid Eichler: THEY ARE BRAVE ADVENTURERS AND CAN SAVE YOU FROM MONSTERS
Vee Barlett: WHO THE HELL IS HE AND WHY WOULD WE?
Ingrid Eichler: CLAUDIUS IS TAKING THE CHILD TO THE SNOW MAN
Ingrid Eichler: YOU ARE TAKING HIM TO THE SNOW MAN
Ingrid Eichler: HAVE A GOOD TRIP
Ingrid Eichler: I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRUMS
Vee Barlett: WE AIN'T TAKIN' NO FUCKIN' CHILD WITH US?
Claudius : That is what I'm getting paid for.
Vee Barlett: screams internally yet again
Levi Reed: stumbles down to breakfast as she says the thing about the child
BOB And the dining hall is quiet except for your group now
Levi Reed: I did not sign up for that!
Claudius : Or at least that's what the church wanted...
Vee Barlett: turns glare from Ingrid to Claudius.
Vee Barlett: Who are you.
Jericho: hey man, just answer honestly and she won't shank you
Vee Barlett: I am NOT a mornin' person and I am this close to shankin' someone.
Jericho: exactly
Jericho: points
Vee Barlett: Might be you. Might be Jericho. Might be Levi. Might be myself at this point.
Levi Reed: What child?
Claudius : Just someone sent to do a job mate
Vee Barlett: What job involves a kid??
Temperance: Then we might have to use a healing spell or bind wounds and that's... a lot of work before a trip.
Jericho: Body Guard?
Levi Reed: There a town up there or something?
Claudius : A delivery job
Levi Reed: Why's a kid going?
Jericho: Delivery Job?
Jericho: Face Darkens
Vee Barlett: And church said you goin' with us??
Levi Reed: If you're selling it up there, I"ll shank you right here myself
Claudius : shrugs
Jericho: As in....human transport?
Jericho: Points at Levi
Jericho: I'll join you
Claudius : Yep thats what they wanted me to do. I'm wrapping up my debt with them
Jericho: Oh my gods
Vee Barlett: Guys, church is a lot of things but ain't thinkin' they into child slavery. Calm it.
Jericho: Who DOESN"T owe a debt to the chuch Vee?
Vee Barlett: Well fuck. Fine. But I ain't doin' ANY babysittin' got it? That's for you and whoever you sucker into it.
Claudius : Sure mate that's fine with me
Ratbone Carder: i'll help!
Levi Reed: The church runs this whole island, and several others besides. Probably everyone owes them something
Vee Barlett: There. Got ya a sucker.
Jericho: is it....a well behvaed child?
Ratbone Carder: i like kids. kids are fun
Levi Reed: Is it human?
Vee Barlett: grumbles and eats her breakfast
Lirtimya: Gets up and walks over
Temperance: reaches for her tea and sips
Claudius : Its just a two year old... So far its caused me no trouble
Vee Barlett: You know anythin' about these parts?
Jericho: Oh. Okay. I'll help as best can
Levi Reed: I'm not changing diapers
Jericho: Shrugs
Vee Barlett: Man, I'm surrounded by suckers... guess that works for you. Claudius, was it?
Jericho: I don't mind that part
Ratbone Carder: coward
Lirtimya: Good morning
Jericho: As long as it's not swearing at me, I'm pretty chill
Jericho: Morning LIrt!
Vee Barlett: That's my job.
Jericho: Meet Caludius
Ratbone Carder: Vee, Levi is the coward. You have sensible boundaries.
Jericho: Snickers at Vee
Temperance: With luck, the child might learn some.
Jericho: Yes it is!
Levi Reed: It's only two... can it even talk?
Claudius : Pleasure is all mine
Lirtimya: Caludius?
Jericho: The day you aren't swearing at SOMEONE will be the day we know you've been replaced by an imposter
Lirtimya: Nice to meet you
Vee Barlett: Fine. Sit down. Eat food. I ain't got any say here so might as well play nice.
Vee Barlett: Just call me Vee. Ain't need to know more than that.
Claudius : nods
Claudius : Fair Vee
Vee Barlett: Y'all be nice and introduce yerselves.
Vee Barlett: I ain't yer keeper.
Levi Reed: She's definitely not fair
Levi Reed: I'm Levi
Temperance: puts her tea down.
Vee Barlett: Some think I am.
Temperance: Call me Temperance.
Ratbone Carder: Sweeping bow
Claudius : I'm Claudius. I'm on a delivery job for the church. TURNS TO SHOW BABY. Gotta get this fella to the snow man.
Ratbone Carder: Sweeping bow
Ratbone Carder: Ratbone Carder, entertainer extraordinarie
Vee Barlett: She good with kids.
Temperance: blinks at the child.
Temperance: Hello, baby.
Lirtimya: Lirtimya
Jericho: I'm Jericho. Uptight asshole to some, warmer to others
Levi Reed: What is the snowman going to do with it?
Jericho: According to vee
Vee Barlett: Maybe feed it to an abominable snowman.
Ratbone Carder: That knucklehead over there is Rothuss Carder, my brother
Jericho: Jesus Vee
Jericho: Its just a kid
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Ratbone Carder: Wait, what? Seriously is the baby a sacrifice?
Vee Barlett: Apparently they live up there. Dunno what it is. Levi might. He can correct me.
Ratbone Carder: Or getting adopted or what?
Vee Barlett: Nah, this church too goody two shoes for that.
Vee Barlett: Or at least I think it is.... might surprise us.
Jericho: With all the selkie talkes, see if it changes shape in water
Levi Reed: Nah, abominables only eat you if you bother them. Mostly eat yaks and things like that
Jericho: Snickers
Vee Barlett: Somehow not surprised you DO know what that is...
Vee Barlett: mutters
Claudius : Hey i'm just trying to pay off my debt so I can get on living. I gotta get this fella to the snowman. I assume its just some dumb nickname. You guys know where to find him? The faster I get this thing unloaded the better..
Vee Barlett: Some dude about two or three days walk from here.
Vee Barlett: Hmm, well some "contact" I should say.
Levi Reed: shouts "EXCUSE ME! CHURCH PEOPLE! I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO!"
Vee Barlett: We headin' that way. All I know.
Jericho: Did he just refer to a toddler as a "thing" whispers to Levi
Temperance: I believe they drew us a map.
Levi Reed: replies to Jericho "What else are you supposed to call it?"
Claudius : Its just a package mate... Can't get attached to a job
Vee Barlett: Can ya fight?
Levi Reed: I'm not going anywhere with that thing until I know what they plan to do with it
Claudius : smiles "I know my way around a blade" taps his two rapiers
Vee Barlett: Good. Then don't mind ya taggin' along.
Temperance: rummages around her bag for the copy of the map the Priestess drew.
Claudius : bows to vee Many thanks
Vee Barlett: We got enough squishes so that's a relief.
Jericho: So uh
Jericho: Caludius
Jericho: Does it have a name?
Levi Reed: gets up and leaves to go find the church people
Levi Reed: INGRIDDDDDDDDD
Adhita Vegne: Did you need more breakfast?
Levi Reed: I need to know what's going to happen to this baby
Adhita Vegne: What baby?
Levi Reed: The baby this guy is making us bring up the hill
Claudius : Nope no name was given. Just give him to the snow man
Jericho: uh
Jericho: I'm with Levi
Temperance: If we name it we might get attached.
Adhita Vegne: That sounds like he is delivering a baby
Jericho: What for?
Levi Reed: Yeah but what's going to happen to it when it gets there
Adhita Vegne: But that looks bigger than a baby
Adhita Vegne: My little sister was way bigger than that
Levi Reed: Not the point right now
Adhita Vegne: I do not know
Vee Barlett: Oh, it like them spawn pools??
Claudius : Its just a package people. Think of it as a puppy.... that may help
Levi Reed: Well can you find me someone who knows?
Vee Barlett: They raise 'em up there then transfer them elsewhere?
Adhita Vegne: I think they are on a retreat
Adhita Vegne: the top floor is closed
Levi Reed: Not anymore
Adhita Vegne: all the priestesses and priests are up there
Levi Reed: How do I get up there?
Jericho: Uh Claudius? Not offense buddy, but that is a..you know...living thing?
Adhita Vegne: You can't it is locked
Vee Barlett: Levi, calm yer shit. If it's bad, you can fix it when we get there, but if it IS bad ya think it's any better to leave it here?
Levi Reed: Rothuss, you got lockpicking skills?
Jericho: Actually Levi...I'm with Vee
Jericho: That's logical
Temperance: Wait, let's take a step back from this.
Levi Reed: At least here I know it'll just grow up to be like Jericho or Temperance, and not get fed to a chupacabra
Jericho: ...quite a leap, but okay?
Vee Barlett: No, you don't know that. You don't know they wouldn't find another to take it.
Vee Barlett: So take it with us now if ya gonna worry then you can find a solution if ya need.
Jericho: I mean we can have Vee shank the dude if he's sketchy as fuck
Vee Barlett: I ain't your shanker. I shank who I want.
Vee Barlett: Levi, we gonna do this.
Vee Barlett: You ain't convincin' high priestess otherwise.
Levi Reed: attempts to find the way upstairs
Vee Barlett: Don't make me tackle you.
Levi Reed: Look, all they gotta do is tell me the baby isn't going to be hurt, and I'm in
Jericho: Shrugs
Jericho: Walks with Levi
Vee Barlett: OH for fuck's sake. Y'all ask too many questions and worry too much.
Vee Barlett: Just ask when we get there.
BOB There is no easy way up to the church area
BOB you could fight the guards, or you can go out and try to climb the cliffs
Vee Barlett: They sendin' the thing one way or another, yeah?
Temperance: seats herself at the dining table and sips her tea.
Vee Barlett: Don't piss off the church when we already got a deal with 'em.
Levi Reed: Fine, but if ANYTHING seems suspicious about it when we get there, I'm shanking everything and coming back
Jericho: Look Levi, I get it. If it looks sketchy, we'll jump the snowman. Easier to escape with the kid away from all these people right?
Levi Reed: With the baby
Jericho: I'll be the first at your side
Vee Barlett: I ain't gonna be yer alibi but don't jump to conclusions, yeah? We find out when we get there.
Levi Reed: I don't like babies but I don't want them eaten by chupacabras either
Vee Barlett: This a church of... transferrance of some sort. Gorby. They do the whole life cycle thing. I'm sure it's fine.
Levi Reed: What's a gorby
Jericho: Levi, I have severe reservations about this, but I'm almost 95 percent positive, they aren't going to feed a child to a Chupacabra. Gross Incompetence they are familiar with, human sacrifices a little less
Vee Barlett: One of them goddesses.
Temperance: Gorby is the deity the high priestess serves.
Levi Reed: Ok but I don't know man... there was some suspicious shit going on with that stolen stamp
Vee Barlett: That the Temple. This a Church.
Levi Reed: I'm just saying, sometimes they do shady stuff
Vee Barlett: Well yeah, duh. That's the world.
Levi Reed: Maybe I'm exaggerating a little when I say eaten by a chupacabra but... not by that much
Vee Barlett: Don't know how ya jumpin' to these conclusions. Go eat breakfast.
Temperance: The tea is going to get cold.
Levi Reed: What do babies eat?
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: Ask the babysitter. I ain't one.
Avdotya Mirny: Excuse me
Vee Barlett: Yeah?
Avdotya Mirny: Hello?
Levi Reed: I'll take tea if I have to, but don't they have any coffee around here?
Vee Barlett: Who you?
Temperance: turns around at the new voice.
Avdotya Mirny: I am Ms Mirny
Vee Barlett: Cool. Whatcha want?
Avdotya Mirny: Did I hear you say you are going uphill?
Ratbone Carder: Babies eat rice that's been boiled to hell
Levi Reed: Are you a nanny?
Vee Barlett: What about it?
Ratbone Carder: also milk
Ratbone Carder: also stewed fruit
Avdotya Mirny: I was hoping to go uphill too
Avdotya Mirny: but I am afraid to go alone
Ratbone Carder: and boiled vegetables
Vee Barlett: so. much. internal. screaming.
Levi Reed: So we gotta stop and boil crap on the way? How long did they say this walk was?
Vee Barlett: Apparently everyone wants to go uphill this mornin'
Avdotya Mirny: I can pay
Vee Barlett: Why you wanna go? What can you do?
Temperance: Two to three days of walking, I believe.
Avdotya Mirny: a little at least
Vee Barlett: How much?
Ratbone Carder: we can probably dissolve our hard tack in water, just as good
Avdotya Mirny: 1 gold
Vee Barlett: You cook? Fish? Babysit?
Avdotya Mirny: I can
Vee Barlett: Hmm....
Levi Reed: If you can babysit, you can come for free
Avdotya Mirny: I mean I can cook, and babysit
Levi Reed: Hell, I'll pay YOU a gold
Vee Barlett: Levi shut it.
Avdotya Mirny: really?
Vee Barlett: NO.
Vee Barlett: 1 gold.
Vee Barlett: And you help cook and babysit.
Avdotya Mirny: Yes Mamn
Avdotya Mirny: Miss?
Vee Barlett: Vee. Nice meetin' ya, I hope.
Avdotya Mirny: What
Avdotya Mirny: I mean Yes Miss Vee
Vee Barlett: The rest of y'all can introduce yerselves as you want. Again, I ain't yer keeper
Levi Reed: whispers to Avdotya "When she's not around, I'll give you a gold."
Vee Barlett: stabbing hand twitches for some unknown reason at Levi's whisper
Levi Reed: Levi
Avdotya Mirny: My family never let me go anywhere
Vee Barlett: Why not?
Avdotya Mirny: So when I had the chance to go I left
Temperance: I go by Temperance. It's a pleasure.
Avdotya Mirny: They wanted me to stay and marry Tom
Vee Barlett: You don't wanna?
Avdotya Mirny: But I wanted to travel'
Vee Barlett: Tom a good man or not?
Avdotya Mirny: I never wanted to marry
Vee Barlett: Cheers!
Temperance: hums in understanding.
Avdotya Mirny: I guess he is good
Avdotya Mirny: But he is not what I want
Vee Barlett: Independent woman. I like that.
Avdotya Mirny: Thank you Miss Vee
Avdotya Mirny: But I just wanted to travel I never thought about being independent
Vee Barlett: Guess gives me more reason to be fine with ya comin'. Always think seein' the world is good.
Avdotya Mirny: and now I am alone and not sure that is a good thing
Vee Barlett: I love it. Well, until these dipshits stuck arund, but that's fine, too, I suppose.
Vee Barlett: It can be a good thing.
Avdotya Mirny: My family does charcoal
Avdotya Mirny: it is not exciting
Vee Barlett: Maybe you'll find somethin' more excitin' along the way.
Avdotya Mirny: That is what I wanted
Vee Barlett: Too much to hope you can fight?
Avdotya Mirny: but then only three days in I needed the church and now I need you
Avdotya Mirny: I can .... well, not really
Vee Barlett: sighs
Lirtimya: Adventure is usually more exciting than staying in one spot, you just need to find the adventures you like
Vee Barlett: Got a fighter and a squishy to cancel it out. Oh well
Avdotya Mirny: Oh that sounds lovely
Vee Barlett: Ever been on the sea?
Avdotya Mirny: No I hear it is horrible
Vee Barlett: makes a face
Vee Barlett: Whoever said that is horrible. A spite on them.
Avdotya Mirny: My Pa
Temperance: The sea is just as eventful as traversing the land.
Vee Barlett: I don't like cursin' anyone's Pa but... he sounds confused.
Avdotya Mirny: If it is an adventure then maybe I can do that after seeing snow
Vee Barlett: If you pull yer weigh, maybe.
Temperance: Always good to experience it yourself.
Lirtimya: The sea brings the best adventures, to me at least
Avdotya Mirny: I hear it is cold and wet
Vee Barlett: It's beautiful and full of possibilities.
Vee Barlett: Ain't ever know what's over the horizon and that's excitin'
Avdotya Mirny: See that is what I told Pa
Avdotya Mirny: the snow must be beautiful
Vee Barlett: Eh, nothin' prettier than the sea but guessin' we'll find out.
Vee Barlett: Well welcome aboard, I guess, Ms. Mirny. Getcha some breakfast. Think we headin' out today.
Levi Reed: Your name's Mirny?
Avdotya Mirny: Miss Mirny yes
Avdotya Mirny: I ate early
Vee Barlett: Yer packed and ready to go when we is?
Avdotya Mirny: I was told to be ready in case anyone wanted to take me today
Avdotya Mirny: I have a bag outside
Levi Reed: You related to the Lemonshire Mirnys?
Vee Barlett: nods
Avdotya Mirny: I do not know
Avdotya Mirny: Where is Lemonshire?
Levi Reed: Ehhh, nevermind
Avdotya Mirny: When are you leaving?
Avdotya Mirny: Do I need to get anything special?
Vee Barlett: A bit after light.
Avdotya Mirny: Oh that will be a while
Vee Barlett: curses
Avdotya Mirny: the sun does not come over the mountain for a couple of hours
Avdotya Mirny: But when you look back west you can see it sparkle on the water
Avdotya Mirny: You like that?
Vee Barlett: That do sound pretty but I ain't sure the safety of travelin' when it's dark up here.
Avdotya Mirny: I can go now
Vee Barlett: Fine. We'll go when we all ready, yeah? You can meet us by the mule.
Avdotya Mirny: Yes Miss Vee
Avdotya Mirny: Thank you

Levi Reed: I thought you said you could babysit
Avdotya Mirny: Baby sit yes, but I have never fed a baby before
Vee Barlett: Where's the twin? Ratbone? How you feed a kid??
Ratbone Carder: the kid is two, regular food will do. none of you have baby sisters or brothers?
Avdotya Mirny: I suppose wiping it clean is easy enough
Shakes her head
Rothuss Carder: Nah, I'm an only child.
Rothuss Carder: skips out of reach.
Vee Barlett: My brother close enough to my age he didn't need no babysittin'
Levi Reed: I'm the youngest
Levi Reed: What do you think babysitting means, Mirny?
Ratbone Carder: gives the kid a cracker of hard tack
Ratbone Carder: here, gnaw on that, kid
Vee Barlett: Hopefully we get there soon. I didn't sign up for kid transport...
Vee Barlett: Y'all good now?
Levi Reed: I mean, technically we did, at the end there...
Vee Barlett: Nah, we agreed to help him. And some of ya were suckers and agreed to help him with the kid.
Claudius : For which you have my unending appreciation
Claudius : bows with a flourish
Vee Barlett: Well ya were ready to charge down some goblins which is already more than others did so still good with ya.
Vee Barlett: So why ya owe the church a debt anyways, Claud?
Vee Barlett: Ain't smart to be in debt to them. Unless yer a priest and they already make questionable decisions.
Claudius : Wasn't really my choice... I used to be a privateer and my ship was lost. They found me and brought me back to health. This was what they asked in return. I really couldn't say no...besides, I don't like carrying debt
Claudius : Seemed like a simple enough task in return
Vee Barlett: Hmm, not as bad as I was thinkin'
Rothuss Carder: Isn't privateer a fancy word for a pirate?
Vee Barlett: Given what they had us do, easy task for ya.
Levi Reed: Hey, we thought checking on those supplies was going to be an easy task, and look where it got us
Vee Barlett: You think everyone be a pirate, Rothuss.
Levi Reed: Don't count those chickens yet
Vee Barlett: Levi definitely ain't one.
Rothuss Carder: Do I? I thought it was everyone around you.
Ratbone Carder: Privateer is OFFICIAL pirate
Vee Barlett: Yet not a shred of proof, yeah? Assumptions don't make anyone look good.
Ratbone Carder: the rest are self employed
Levi Reed: Why so defensive Vee? We all know your family business is all above board
Vee Barlett: That's what I'm sayin'!
Vee Barlett: It's them damn churchy ones who keep thinkin' thoughts.
Levi Reed: winks at Rothuss when Vee isn't looking
Vee Barlett: stabbing hand twitches
Rothuss Carder: grins back at Levi.
Temperance: shakes her head and muffles a chuckle at the interaction
Rothuss Carder: Don't worry Vee. We'd never accuse you of thinking thoughts.
Vee Barlett: Of course you wouldn't 'cause that'd require you to think.
Claudius : We prefer legal pirate. Keeps you from that gallows for a cost
Vee Barlett: Hmm, I might be likin' you for completely unrelated reasons.
Claudius : winks at Vee
Rothuss Carder: Parrots of a feather flocking together?
Vee Barlett: ignores Rothuss
Levi Reed: Can we try and pick up the pace a little? I want to get this child burden off our backs
Vee Barlett: Too bad it ain't yer baby.
Claudius : Good with me mate
Levi Reed: Why?
Vee Barlett: No, yer other baby.
Vee Barlett: The one in the corner.
Levi Reed: Oh, yeah, I do miss him. Hope his stomach feels better and he catches up
Vee Barlett: Yer in a much better mood when he's around.
Levi Reed: Snuggles are good for the soul. You should try it sometime, Vee
Levi Reed: If you can find something that wants to snuggle you
Vee Barlett: I can when I need.
Levi Reed: Ruffus was a good snuggler, huh?
Vee Barlett: Dunno. He left too quick to find out.
Rothuss Carder: Thought he was a rude one.
Vee Barlett: Right? He kinda was.
Vee Barlett: But don't matter. I get by fine without needin' snugglin' all the time like you do.
Levi Reed: I don't know, Vee, you might be too prickly for snuggles
Rothuss Carder: No appreciation of the finer things in life.
Levi Reed: Like that plant... what's that spiky plant you told me about, Temperance?
Temperance: Cacti?
Vee Barlett: Not everyone like bein' touched all the time, yeah?
Levi Reed: Nah, that one sounds like a disease
Levi Reed: Well, that might work too
Vee Barlett: Yer a disease, Levi.
Levi Reed: And yet, somehow, I'm the one with a snugglebuddy
Vee Barlett: 'Cause ya want one.
Vee Barlett: That be the point yer missin'. I don't want one.
