Asteria Amarante [HP: 85/85; AC: 21; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Monday July 9th, 2018 9:58:32 PM
Asteria truly enjoys her time talking with Gaffer, and hopes for many more chances to talk with the druid! In the meantime, she returns home, possibly slightly tipsy.
Then, she sees the puppy. Immediately breaking into a grin, Asteria smiles, squeals, and cries, celebrating the dog. She loves it with her whole heart, thanking both Ethani and Lornak over and over, even lifting them both into a crushing hug! She hugs the dog too, softer than with her companions, afraid of breaking him. The little one licks her face, and Asteria feels her heart melt. "Ohhh I love him I love him I love him!!! I will have to find you a name, little one. Oh yes I will! Oh yes I will! Ohhhh what a sweetie! Are you mommy's little baby? Are you? Oh, thank you, Ethani and Lornak! I love him so much!"
In the days to come, Asteria makes an effort to show her puppy off to EVERYONE, specifically members of the Tide. She loves bragging about him, and lets the young pup sleep on her bed. Not only is she proud of her new dog, but she would also accept any name suggestions for the dog, not all that creative with names.
She spends time around the city as well, mostly content with her current equipment, so instead she helps wherever she can, this time with a puppy companion at her side. She makes sure to keep spirits high wherever she is, reconstructing the city one house at a time. If any of the children wish to play with her dog, she allows them, but she always keeps a very close eye on him.
Setting Sun Monday July 9th, 2018 10:07:28 PM
The city moves forward, reconstruction, clearing debris, levelling destroyed areas and rebuilding. It will be quite some time before the project concludes.
Lornak consults with Dusan on the drow poison and frankly whatever the mixture is, it seems to be rather rare and rather expensive. Over the next week, the pair attempt to unlock the secrets of the poison and eventually succeed. Lornak feels he can now reliably create the poison at a cost of 40 gold in ingredients per dose
Talk about Shale House turns to teh CMTC, Boggs and some of the concern that has been partially raised by the trading company about the fame 'The Tide' has garnered.
That evening, a few hours after dinner when the group is settled, there is a knock at the door.
Opening the door, you find Boggs with a cloak pulled about him, "May I come in?"
Ethani Nellie, AC 20, HP 42/42) d10=6 ; Monday July 9th, 2018 10:46:49 PM
Ethani grins from ear to ear at Asteria's joy. And the puppy seems happy too. It feels good to finally be able to bring joy to others.
And then Boggs shows up...and the happy feeling is gone. With a small sigh, Ethani turns to Boggs. "Of course you can come in. What brings you to our humble obode?"
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:22/20/18 - CMD 24 Tuesday July 10th, 2018 1:55:31 AM
Toston says, "Don't just stand there on our door step, come in. Should we send down to Tombo's and have some food brought up?"
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(18 as tiger)(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 1/2) Tuesday July 10th, 2018 5:42:33 PM
Gaffer sits back in his seat, legs crossed and lets the others talk. This is an aspect of things he is still uncertain about, and he worries his recent overt actions have contributed to problems he wasn't aware of.
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:27/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Tuesday July 10th, 2018 5:59:52 PM
Dušan was just beginning to enjoy a life of leisure again, maybe a little too much, as he hears the knock the on the door. He follows the group to the door. As he sees Boggs reveal himself, Dušan shifts his stance to a more formal one and thinks to himself, 'All good things, I guess...'
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) d20+5=13 ; Tuesday July 10th, 2018 6:26:55 PM
Lorank invites Boggs to join the group at the round table in the Receiving Room to see how the man has fared during this trying time. Using his hands he binds a tiny bell and a thin piece of silver wire to cast Alarm to ward Shale House as the group talks with Boggs.( Alarm d20=13) He is new to spellcasting and is not surprised by the result. The ward is mostly cast..., mostly? He hopes it is enough to alleviate Boggs' trepidation in speaking with them publicly.
"I hope you are doing well and I am glad that you have survived this whole ordeal my good man." Lornak begins in an effort to clear the air. "However, if the Wold nearly coming to an end has taught me anything is that desperate times call for desperate measures. I understand the necessity of your deceits. And as much as it pains me, I am going to have to adopt them, Gods help me, in the future."
You are welcome here and if you need to call on us do not hesitate." He uses an open armed gesture and then stops. "Know this..." Lornak then gets dour and leans in; "...we are no longer your errand boys."
He sits back in his chair. "What brings you to our door? Speak your peace."
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Tuesday July 10th, 2018 8:00:20 PM
Hmerrin strides into the receiving room behind the others.
"He musta heard about the puppy," he offers to the group. "And wants to help name it. Though I still stand by Periwinkle, myself."
Asteria Amarante [HP: 85/85; AC: 21; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Tuesday July 10th, 2018 9:55:22 PM
Asteria laughs as Boggs appears at the door, yet her dog seems less enthused, growling at this strange person. "Aw, don't worry puppy wuppy! Boggs is a friend! And also our..." She pauses, thinking it over. "Employer?" Leaning towards Ethani, the barbarian whispers. "Does he pay us?"
Casting her attention back towards Boggs, Asteria smiles. "Welcome back! I got a puppy! Do you like him? Isn't he so cute?" She hears mention of naming it, and her grin grows bigger. "Oh, I love Periwinkle! We could call him Peri for short! Boggs, do you want to help name him?"
Ethani Nellie, AC 20, HP 42/42) Tuesday July 10th, 2018 10:19:50 PM
The sea elf gives an exaggerated shrug in response to Asteria's question. "I guess in a round about way. "
Murmuring reassurance to the "fierce" Peri, Ethani waits expectantly for Boggs response to their hospitality.
Setting Sun Tuesday July 10th, 2018 11:05:32 PM
The group has a mixed reaction to Boggs and the mans face shows that he picks up on just about every feeling all of you have, verbal and non verbal. "Yes always welcome indeed I suppose. Speak his name and he appears right Dusan?" He says with a bit of sarcasm himself.
He thanks Toston as he enters and has a seat, replying to Lornak, "I am well enough as is the company, but No I don't suppose the great and mighty heroes of Dirt City are at that." He holds up a hand to cut off any protest and shakes his head a bit, "My apologies, that came off wrong. Perhaps I am not as well as I would like to think."
"A drink would be welcome, but I should not tarry long. I wanted..." Just then the puppy enters and Boggs, perhaps for the first time that you have known him, loses his thought. "Well isnt he a cutie, so what's his name? Blue?"
Boggs pets the puppy and smiles a bit and then gets back to things at hand. "I'm going to be blunt and forthcoming here, no insults or innuendos intended. You've grown beyond what is safe and comfortable for the Trading Company. You are heroes, bonafide heroes and real Life in Dirt City requires us at CMTC to maintain relations with those who are not your biggest fans. Overt actions by you to be seen with us, can and will get people killed. it is simply how things work and so I've come here to ask for distance and the utmost discretion in your contact to us." Boggs takes a drink and smiles at you, "No mistake now, I am mighty happy about this. This is a turning point or could be. It has been and hopefully will continue to be an honor to be in your company." Boggs reaches for his glass again, s;ow;y to give anyone time to say whatever it is they might want to
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:22/20/18 - CMD 24 Wednesday July 11th, 2018 2:22:20 AM
Toston says, "Since we don't know how frequently we will be interacting considering we must distance ourselves I don't suppose you'd be willing to share more of your history with Three Bits? We do still interact with that information broker and I believe you two had a history. If we have to be more self sufficient it will help to know all we can about her."
Ethani Nellie, AC 20, HP 42/42) d20+5=22 ; Wednesday July 11th, 2018 12:27:30 PM
Ethani watches the exchange between Boggs and the group and is curious as why animosity was working it's way into the relationship. Since she had been a member of the Tide, Boggs had been nothing but helpful and provided invaluable opportunities and advice.
Ruminating, Ethani considers that even though quite a bit of time has passed, the Tide is still likely working it's way through the events from the battle to return the Saragrass...and perhaps a touch of PTSD. Being an adventurer and living in Dirt City tended to bring out the grumpy in people.
Laying her hand on Lornak's shoulder, Ethani gives it a gently squeeze to communicate that perhaps a gentler approach is needed.
The Healer of Alemi seeks out Bogg's attention, engaging in eye contact, and using her most gentle and appeasing body language (Diplomacy -22). "Boggs, for as long as I have known you, you have been a wonderful friend and ally to both myself and the Tide. We sincerely and truthfully owe you and your organization a great debt. Honestly, I'm fairly certain there are *many* times you have acted on our behalf that we are not even aware of." Ethani steps forward and touches his shoulder warmly as she offers him a seat. "You were the first decent person I met in Dirt City when I arrived. Boggs, you are a wonderful man. I truly appreciate that you were able to unite me with the Tide..."
Ethani turns and smiles lovingly at Lornak. "Boggs, you brought me to Lornak, the love of my life. Without you, I would have been lost in a city of pain, deceit, and danger. When my mother placed me here, you were the one who made sure I was not alone in this gods forsaken city. I owe you quite frankly everything." Ethani stands and offers Boggs a hug, but does not push it upon him if he does not desire it.
"However, you are right. It would appear that, due to actions beyond either of our control, we must split ways. By some odd twist of fate, we are being considered "heroes"...whatever that is supposed to mean. You, my friend, must walk a different path. One of caution, restraint, and stealth. We will do our best to try and keep you and the Crescent Moons Trading Post safe from our notoriety. We are new at this hero stuff though, so please understand that we may occasionally make unintentional errors. Please let us know if there is anything we can do, covertly of course, to help you and the Company. Otherwise, we will continue to try and learn our new role and work towards helping the citizens of Dirt City."
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Wednesday July 11th, 2018 4:33:08 PM
Lornak wants to clue Ethani in on the fact that Boggs recruited each of them as agents and had no qualms about pushing them past their moral hangups to get use out of them. However, he does not broach the subject now. "Ethani has the right of it, we appreciate all that you have done. I just wished you would have been more open about it. But I digress; "
"I do not want the limelight, Abel." Lornak admits. "I abhor it actually, yer here I am. Do you believe we Want to be an open force in opposition to any of the Houses? I would much prefer to work as you from the shadows. I will continue to do so if I have have the capacity and I believe it is in this manner that we can still keep our relationship.
If we have to have go-betweens to communicate, so be it, but I do not want to sever all contact."
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:27/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Wednesday July 11th, 2018 6:42:46 PM
"Sorry, Boggs." Dušan starts, "My disdain at seeing you wasn't meant to be directed at you. Just that you symbolized the end of our vacation."
"I will always be in your debt for the opportunities you've given me. I have no idea where I would be without having been involved with Crescent Moon, but I wouldn't have the options I have now. I hope some of my more forward actions haven't put you in danger. I guess subtlety isn't my strong point."
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Wednesday July 11th, 2018 6:56:47 PM
Hmerrin bllinks at Asteria. "Seriously? You're gonna call him Peri? But, I was....alrighty then."
As Boggs makes his announcement, Hmerrin merely nods. He'd pretty much said the same thing, like, five minutes ago.
"There are some nice possibilities here," he points out. "With the Company doing what they do in the background, and us doing what we do in the daylight, we could get some real good done.
"The key is gonna be the info. I'm hoping maybe we draw out some other sources who wanna rub shoulders with the heroes. And if we an you can find some way to exchange news every so often, it's gotta help."
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 61/61 AC:21(18 as tiger)(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 1/2) Wednesday July 11th, 2018 7:36:53 PM
Gaffer watches the various exchanges, surprised to see how intimate some of the relationships before him are. Having come from Dirt City original he can't help but feel surprised to find the CMTC has another side to it.
If there is a gap in the conversation he pipes up for a moment with, "Wouldn't there ever be use for a group who can do things in the open, even if it's only to serve as a distraction...? Or something, I don't know."
Asteria Amarante [HP: 85/85; AC: 21; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Wednesday July 11th, 2018 10:30:27 PM
Asteria cocks her head at Hmerrin's disappointment, sincerely confused. "So... what d'ya want to call him? Winkle?"
She thinks over Bogg's suggestion as well, smiling as he drops his tough guy facade around her dog. "I like Blue too! But no, he doesn't have an official name yet."
Asteria spends the majority of the meeting playing with the puppy, throwing bits of rope 'discreetly'. Her head perks up during the last part of his sentence, however. "Wait, are we getting fired? Isn't it a good thing that we're heroes now? Now you guys have a front guy or something, people to take the attention away from you guys, right?"
Setting Sun Wednesday July 11th, 2018 11:23:02 PM
Toston asks about the history that has been eluded at between Three Bits and Boggs. The Tide would still need information and thus would still end of dealing with her as one of the better brokers they know in the field. Boggs looks at Toston for a moment or two, "That history is quite personal and is going to be one of those secrets I hold onto. Going forward, it should not cause you any grief."
Ethani defends Boggs and the man stands and returns her offered hug, "You are kind beyond reason sometimes dear girl, Thank you."
Lornak remarks that he feels that being in open opposition to any House is not what he'd prefer and Boggs agrees, "I strongly suggest you do not take up against any House or Houses. Get in anyone's face or direct business and you risk confrontation with the Prince and that means a pretty unified response from all of the Houses. No what you have done to be propelled into the limelight, the great thing about it really, is that it had very little to do with any House. You were there after the quake, you were there against the Bloodweed infestation and if rumor is correct, you stood with the Iron Dragons and other great renown heroes of the Wold against an immortal power. These are great things and I am very happy and proud. When i say we must distance it is for your sake as much as the rest of the Company."
"If we are known as close associates, the Company becomes a target to get to you. The Company could become leverage. Dirt City is still and will be for some time to come, a city run be the underworld. The Merchants Guild has gained some traction as a voice, but I personally think it is just humored by the Houses. CMTC has also gained traction, thanks in great part to you and with you seen as some independant force looking to keep the playing field level so the little guys have a fair shake, CMTC can continue to make strides."
Which Hmerrin again has to think, is just what he has been saying.
Gaffer asks about moving in the open, which he relaizes is precisely what Boggs is saying.
Wil asks about what now
"What now Wilford? Well I would like to finish my drink, perhaps hear if that rumor is true and let you know that yes, The CMTC will do our best to supply you with information. and offer a last piece of advise. Diplomacy will ever serve you for far longer with those you view as allies, those you feel are enemies and with those of whom you are unsure, than intimidation."
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:22/20/18 - CMD 24 Wednesday July 11th, 2018 11:48:14 PM
Toston says, "Fair enough." in response to the question about Three Bits.
He then says, "I'm not really skilled at either diplomacy or intimidation. I'm agreeable enough sure but I just never took the time to learn to be diplomatic and I'm a gnome so I'm not particularly intimidating despite my training and heritage still though I suppose if things come to blows then that is where I'll be able to shine. Sadly we got rid of our training room to make a conservatory otherwise I'd show you what I just learned how to do with a training dummy, my version of the spell is more powerful than normal because of my unique heritage."
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:27/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Thursday July 12th, 2018 3:25:14 PM
“I’m not too shabby at Diplomacy” Dušan says as he attempts to scratch the dog who is definitely more comfortable with Asteria, “Well at least with humans. I’m sure as long as we can lean on each other’s strengths, we’ll figure it out some how.”
Ethani Thursday July 12th, 2018 3:58:21 PM
Ethani truly appreciates Boggs returning her hug. Good people were hard to find in Dirt City, and she counted Boggs as one of them.
Her eyes knit in confusion about his statement about her being "kind beyond reason", but she does not comment on it. In this harsh and deceitful city they had found themselves in, she supposes that expressions of gratitude and appreciation were probably few and far between. And she catches herself feeling a little sorry for their old benefactor. What little she know of the man leads her to believe that he has not had the easiest of lives. Especially the curious relationship he had/has with Three Bits.
Ethani nods at Bogg's advice which she would have considered commonplace...but then again..Dirt City. "True. We should try and remember that. I truly believe this place brings out the worst in people...something I intend to try and fix. However, you are right...it is generally easier to try and work with people than to work against them as it were."
Slightly distracted by Asteria and the puppy's game of fetch, Ethani sneaks a small piece of meat off of the table and lures the pup over. Smiling mischievously as she gives the pup it's treat, Ethani turns to Asteria. "What?! A little bribery never hurt...and I need to build my reputation as Peri's favorite Auntie after all."
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Thursday July 12th, 2018 6:15:19 PM
Lornak takes in Boggs advice and agrees quite completely; "Diplomacy will ever serve you for far longer with those you view as allies, those you feel are enemies and with those of whom you are unsure, than intimidation."
In his mind eye, he knows that he will be compromising his scruples to craft larger wins for the greater good. He saw the winds of that change start before the sky fell. He also knows that he will have to be start playing the scoundrel from now until he leaves Dirt City. He hopes he can live with it.
He squeezes Ethani and laughs at her bribery joke. "If the shoe fits." He says with a smile.
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Thursday July 12th, 2018 7:28:19 PM
Hmerrin whacks Asteria playfully on the shoulder. "C'mon now, no big deal. I was just playing and threw out 'Periwinkle' as a joke. But, hey, if you like it, then go for it. Its all good."
Seeing everybody is pretty much agreeing on everything, Hmerrin looks up dramatically at the ceiling.... "Soooo," he interjects, giving Boggs a sideways look. "As long as you're here. Any juicy tidbits that maybe we'd like to know about?"
Wilford Grimly (HP:39/44; AC: 18; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) Thursday July 12th, 2018 7:56:02 PM
"Very nice words," Wil says with a terse smile. "You have been so helpful to us. It is much appreciated. So why are you here, really? Is there a cat in a tree or a zombie affliction in the cemetery. Remember that Toston? That was so long ago. I heard the priest has disappeared."
Wil seems a bit wound up.. more then usual.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 85/85; AC: 21; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Thursday July 12th, 2018 9:54:08 PM
Asteria snickers as Hmerrin jokingly smacks her, and as he explains the joke. She puts her hands up in mock defense. "Hey, it's not in my hands anymore! Lil guy is responding to it, so now we gotta!"
Speaking of the pup, it seems to have warmed up to the rest of the group quite significantly. Asteria pouts and sends a nasty look Ethani's way. "Pup thief."
Asteria doesn't take in much, if any of what is being said, but she makes sure to pipe in every now and then. "I can take care of the intimidation part! Me and Peri will show them what for!" She flexes her muscles, and the dog gives a bark in agreement.
Setting Sun Thursday July 12th, 2018 10:11:35 PM
Boggs looks at the group, shifting from one person to the next, "Ok so that is a no. Dirt City after all. I respect that and wont ask again."
Boggs arches a brow at Hmerrin, " Rumors and Tid Bits that I know of? Not really. There is a great long road of clearing and building ahead, and the CMTC, much in thanks to your efforts, is positioned well as is the Merchants Guild."
Turingto Wil, "No Wil nothing else, my reason to come here in secret under cover of darkness was just as stated. the CMTC needs distance. We are still friends, but better for all if our connections do not appear too close. We must become just another Trading company in connection to you."
Boggs finishes his drink and wishes you all success. Boggs scoops up his cloak, throws up his hood and slips out. As he hits the street he finds a deeper shadow and practically disappears.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:22/20/18 - CMD 24 Thursday July 12th, 2018 11:57:27 PM
Before Boggs slips out the door an in response to the whole "No" thing Toston says, "Look it would be nice if we could just peaceably get along and I'm not opposed to a diplomatic approach, it's just my talents don't really lie in that sphere so if we try diplomacy and that doesn't work then I'll be ready for that eventuality."
After Boggs leaves Toston says, "Do you think we should reach out to the Merchant Guild? Boggs mentioned them a few times, and it seems like they are trying to counter balance the houses. Or do you guys think an association with us could negatively impact them? Then again at the same time Boggs said it was a good thing to be diplomatic so maybe it couldn't hurt to reach out to them?"
Lornak (Frank S.) HP:79/79 AC: 22(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Friday July 13th, 2018 2:22:33 PM
"I believe we should be in good standing with them." Lornak says to Toston about the Merchants Guild. "We were responsible with extending their relationship with Acid City after all. We should look in on them."
Lornak shakes Boggs hand respectfully when the man makes his exit. After he has left Lornak continues speaking and cajoling with his companions. He does not know what the future holds for them.
Dušan Danann (Erik) {HP:27/33; AC:17(21); Touch: 13; FF:10; CMD:16} Friday July 13th, 2018 6:07:04 PM
Dušan wishes Boggs well. As The Tide retire to the common room he remarks, " I can't help but feel like I disappointed him. It might just be in my head."
The next day Dušan finally get's around to some shopping. He empties his haversack and divides his gold into convenient bundles and places them in the sack. He goes to some stores he trusts in the above and finishes looking for the rest below.
Afterwards he returns late that morning to see if his friends need him.

Gaffer spends the next day resting after a more tiring week. He is happy to take the form of a puppy for most of the day and spend it chasing round with an excitable Peri. He realises just how weary he is from everything, and that he had simply been masking it by staying so busy. Without an immediate goal to take care of, and with the repairs of dirt city well underway, it seems a good time to recuperate.
Hmerrin(HP 91/91 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Friday July 13th, 2018 9:45:16 PM
Hmerrin shrugs at Dusan's comment. "Disappointing father figures is a hobby of mine," he offers, but will not elaborate.
"Reaching out to the Merchants seems fair. And while we're out helping rebuild, we, or at least I, should pay a bit more attention to the rumor mill.
The lad yawns. "Time to hit the hay. See you in the morning."
Ethani Saturday July 14th, 2018 2:20:18 PM
Ethani mock pouts at Gaffer's shape shifting into a puppy. "Hey, no fair! Nobody else can shape shift. You trying to the favored Uncle title?"
Giving the druid a wink so he knows she's only playing, Ethani invites Gaffer to dinner with Lornak, wanting to get to know the druid better. True, he had tagged along with het at the Temple of Waard, but she tends to be in work mode while healing, and she wants to take the opportunity before they give themselves in the middle of the fire again.
Ordering a nice salad and a serving of vegetables, Ethani is thankful for real food and savors each bite. While it was true that the gruel she had created for them while in the Saragrass had kept them alive, there was a comfort to real food. A comfort which Tombo had mastered. In between bites she keeps the conversation going. "Seems like toy know your way around Dirt City, Gaffer. Did I hear you mention before that you are from here? I imagine it was difficult growing up here. As you know, I am not from Dirt City. I grew up in the Under Sea Kingdom... the ocean as it were, so sometimes it's hard for me to understand how things with here. I grew up with the sea elves in a peaceful village like environment. At least that's the best way I can describe it. Then the war broke out between the sea elves, mer people and Sahuagin..." Ethani growls at the mention of her moral enemy.
"Mom came back from adventuring to help with the war effort. She tried her best to keep me out of the army, but the need was great and I could no longer ignore the call, so I signed up as a medic."
Knowing that the topic of Ashira tends to upset Lornak, Ethani glosses over the rebellious years between herself and her mother the High General. Besides, mostly the stories during that time were largely rebellious teenage stories that she's not entirely proud of.
"But enough about me...i want to learn about you Gaffer..." Ethani smiles warmly at the cleric, hoping too get to know more about him.

Lornak makes his way through the shops in The Above and replenishes his stores.
Lornak enjoys a dinner of seared fish and mixed vegetables with Ethani and Gaffer taking full advantage of the harbor trade returning to Dirt City. He downs it with a reserve white wine. He does not want to know where he got it from. He enjoys the conversations and notices Ethani move quickly past the mentions of her mother. He just gives her a smile; "It is alright, love. I believe I have more than proven myself." He eagerly wants to hear more about her rebellious years but notices that she moves past them even faster... "Interesting." He thinks to himself. He will have to pry those stories out of her in the future.
After enjoying a nightcap with Dusan he finds his way to the comfort of his bed and the woman he loves there within.
In the morning he ready's his Speak to Animal spell.

His shopping done and his friends busy at their own, Dušan enjoys the company of a bottle barley wine until Lornak interjects his company. Happy for the distraction, he shares and turns in after Lornak goes on his way.
