We sought the thieves who took the foodEffects of Inspire Courage: All of Yofiel's friends gain +1 competence bonus on attacks & weapon damage, and +1 morale bonus on saves vs charm & fear effects.
And scurried down the tube.
Eventually, we caught them up,
Found them in most foul mood
'Twas they who launched the melee,
It's us who will them down.
Though truce we offered they refused:
In their own blood they'll drown
'Grimelda, and companions, we regret the strong and most regrettable misunderstanding that took place when you apparently mistook us for those who sent the dinosaurs after Cloudhaven. We did not. You attacked us - I can see how having Grim at the front could have been quite frightening - yet several of us tried to end the fight peacefully, and shouted out offers of truce, but you turned them down. Regardless of how it played out, we do wish peace with you, not war, not animosity. Perhaps we can support one another, rather than oppose. We leave this food for you as a small token of goodwill. We are willing to meet with you to discuss matters. We also wish to give you space for mourning. Can we meet in a few days?'"All right, that is poorly worded. But something along those lines might be a step away from combat, and toward some sort of more friendly agreement, if such be possible."
'Grimelda, and companions, we regret the battle and most regrettable misunderstanding that took place. Please know, we did not send the dinosaurs, and are trying to figure out who did. You attacked us - I can see how having Grim, the half-orc, at the front could have been quite frightening - yet several of us tried to end the fight peacefully, and shouted out offers of truce, but you turned them down. I know it was hard to hear over the noise. Regardless of how it played out, we do wish peace with you, not war, not animosity. Perhaps we can support one another, rather than oppose. We leave this food for you as a small token of goodwill. We are willing to meet with you to discuss matters. We also wish to give you space for mourning. Yet, can we meet soon? Kazzor, son of Blovis sends his greetings. - signed: Yofiel the elf, with hopes of peace, and mutual help'"Does anyone else feel strongly they ought to go - and can fit in the tunnels, wherever they may lead?"
"We are so pleased to findHer cadence approaches a chant as she seeks to gain the ears of those gathered, then glides into a poem.
Another one of us survived
This celebration has been lovely
Of dwarf Grimelda's return."
She has suffered greatly, thoughYofiel then says,
And needs some quiet time I trow
I trust her heart feels gratitude
Yet grant her now an interlude
To rest, to pray, to ponder deep
Of trials, pain, and much lost sleep
Gentle treat her, give her time
And gradually her hope renew
You felt the shock when beasts attacked
Still fresh she feels the pain of that.
"Listen quietly now with me this nightShe begins to hum a tune, then adds words to fit with it.
A new song of welcome kindness."
Chorus:Meanwhile, her mother, Diennia, had gone immediately after her daughter whispered to her to assist the crew who was engaged in the great escape. She speaks quietly to the dwarf, yet loud enough for those closest to her also to hear, "Dear one, this has been almost too much for you, I realize. My daughter Yofiel has a little song for you... would you mind staying for one more moment? After that, I have a place for you to rest. Food is there, and a soft comforter filled with goose down on a good bed. Will you listen for a moment? Then, I promise, we will help you escape this exuberant party. Listen - she will quiet them down."
Welcome, Grimelda, welcome back
Your coming home shall fill a lack
Welcome, Grimelda, welcome home
Your coming's sweet as honeycomb
Dwell with us, abide with us
We'll be together now.
Verse:
May hope and warmth grow in our hearts
And friendships here joy you impart
Rest now, brave dwarf, rest up a bit
May you find comfort, here you'll fit
For each of us has their own niche
Let hearts unite and souls enrich
"Join me now in the chorus," she encourages the crowd.
Chorus:
Welcome, Grimelda, welcome back
Your coming home shall fill a lack
Welcome, Grimelda, welcome home
Your coming's sweet as honeycomb
Dwell with us, abide with us
We'll be together now.
