Enter Ruvlia
Gary's turn to fight in the Silver Fur's fighting ring. He gives them the name "Mathew", which was probably very smart. He was fighting a halfling champion called "The Crusher" and... I'm not sure how to describe what we saw in there. The two of them were slippery. Gary in the Dexterious way and the Crusher in the... oily way.
Highlights from the fight: Gary kissed the guy, smashed his feet, crawled between his legs a bunch, got covered in the guys oil, and then won because he jabbed the Crusher in the eyes.
While we were leaving the ring, we heard an argument between someone and the bouncers. It looked to be a female dwarf, a bard as it turns out, because according to her, the Silver Fur stole her precious flute. Ruvlia Stonebreak, is her name, and she insists they stole it from her while they insist it was her fine for playing in the Boar and Toad. This area appears to be quite dirty, and very much under the influence of the Silver Furs, so we didn't even bother going to the police. They wouldn't bother giving us the flute back, all they mentioned was a "bank" that all their winnings went to.
When we couldn't get any information out of the Silver Furs about the flute, we brought Ruvlia to Fridga and her crew the following morning. Oh, but not before going to the Dog and Arrow for the night and learning the dog's name is Willabee. Fridga and Ruvlia were interesting to watch flirt? with each other? I think? I can't say I'm too familiar with all of that. Ruvlia kept asking about what it was we were doing in the city and how we knew Fridga, but I thought it best not to share anything with her about the tome. So she now thinks we are also looking for a flute. Seems as though she may be as gullible as Gargax, though I feel a little more guilty or uneasy using that to my advantage with her.
Since Fridga's crew has been in Shidon longer, we asked them for some assistance. They confirmed our worry that the Silver Fur organization runs the entire underground of the city and Prill agreed to stalk out their main hideout and wherever this "bank" may be.
In the meantime, waiting for Prill to return, we went up north to the Merchant's District to the Bard's Guild. Though since Ruvlia could only worry about her flute, she lost her desire to go inside. But to thank us for our help, she sharpened our weapons for us. Which was phenomenal work! I wouldn't have guessed her as a blacksmith, but she flashed around her Blacksmith membership insignia in order to use someone's grindstone and showed off her prowess. When I asked her about it, she was quite adamant that she wasn't a blacksmith and that she was a bard. Which is understandable, I'll be careful not to pry too much into her being a blacksmith and adopting her family's shop back home.
-----
Along came dusk and Prill finally returned to the townhouse to speak with us. She had some grave news that the "bank" had to be within their heavily guarded stronghold within the Bright Scepter District. They have control of a massive warehouse, maybe even more, heavily guarded by groups of thugs. Stealth doesn't seem like an option; I can't imagine we would be able to sneak in undetected. Brute force probably isn't wise either, we'd be no match for an entire gang. So, Prill sent us to check out the grounds ourselves and then devise a plan soon after.
It wasn't far from the alley that I heard a telltale tune waft through the air, and a butterfly gently wafted by our sights. Ruvlia stopped us and assured us not to be freaked out by her friend. As soon as Trevor's house appeared before us, Ruvlia was running forward and greeting Tyler and Kevin. It seems as though Ruvlia and Trevor have met! Well, at least we don't have to do any more introductions.

12:50 am - 10.01.2021Doing Some Questionable Things
There's not much I can say about this day, I will say there's not much that I can actually remember clearly. After clearing out the library, Arius gave us a hearty thanks and goodbye. Without a lead, we really weren't sure what to do next. We ended up goi...
12:23 am - 10.01.2021Big Bad Evil Books
[i]"Would you like to speak in private?" "Only if your name is [b]Fridga[/b]" [/i] The trio consisting of Prill the Dragonborn, Tok the Half-Orc, and Fridga the Dwarf took us into an alleyway townhouse. They were indeed curious about my tome, but had...

09:32 pm - 24.09.2020Another Gary
After spending a night in[b] Croesus[/b], Gax and I bid farewell to our friend and headed back to [b]Najarma[/b]. I'm in a bit of a conflicted head-space. Before we left, Misht left his book with me. [i]The[/i] book. I don't know how I feel about it. I st...
12:39 am - 31.08.2020Dungeons and Doppelgangers
This is the one where we say goodbye to [b]Otomne Bosch, AKA Mishty Step[/b]. Not in a bad way, he doesn't die or anything, he just stays behind to rekindle relationships and fix that library he keeps blowing up. After escaping from Taleb's house, w...
07:29 pm - 27.08.2020Partners in Crime
We've been arrested, but good thing they didn't take any books from us. Or our weapons really. They don't seem very organized here in [b]Croesus[/b].... or maybe too organized. To make a long story short, Gax and I are here because we associate with M...
07:03 pm - 27.08.2020Plenty of Fish in the Desert
We left the human and Tortle settlers behind, as they had met their journey's end and we still have a long way to go. We made our way to the city [b]Najarma[/b], a quaint little trading post in the middle of the desert. This was only to be a midway stoppi...
06:27 pm - 27.08.2020Otomne Bosch
We have been on this journey with the Tortle and human nomads for about 3 days now. I have taken to learning more about the people and helping with their daily responsibilities, as well as offering some fighting lessons for the curious kiddos. Gargax has ...
01:55 am - 12.06.2020Elysuen Moondew #1
[i]We are embarking on a journey. Rix, Efni, Yurick and I are finally going out in search of resources to help Yistuyn. I've never traveled far from our modest farming town, but I'm excited for what's to come. Efni and Yurick have always spoken so fondl...
01:16 am - 12.06.2020The Witch of the Woods
The [b]Dryads[/b], easy; the[b] Hags[/b], not so much. They lived in this huge tree in the middle of the woods, hollowed out to make room for their deeds. Which includes kidnapping children and eating them. We were lucky to find that they had only eat...
12:42 am - 12.06.2020The Second Meeting
Today we met [b]Trevor[/b] for the second time. Coincidentally, this was also his second time meeting us. He looked so much younger and full of life, I wonder just how long Trevor has been working with us. Seeing him was a surprise, but no doubt a welcome...

The day started off just fine. We toured a paper mill, got some souvenirs, wore stupid gift shop t-shirts all day, had a group hug after our guide left us at the border of [b]Sagemarsh [/b]; it was just fine. [b]Grayfly[/b]. I think that name will hau...
06:03 am - 13.03.2020Cats, Mice, and Claustrophobic Dragonborn
I hate tiny spaces. Especially ones filled with thousands upon thousands of mice. If Tebrook's aggression towards outsiders weren't the only thing stopping tourism, I'd strongly advise against it due to an infestation of mice. And their crazy ring lady. ...
05:12 am - 13.03.2020The First Meeting
The 13th of Zincyth marks our first meeting with [b]Desillarus Trevor[/b]. While I haven't fully gotten the hang of this whole nonlinear timeline thing, I figure it would be important to mark the date. According to this odd old wizard, we've all met befor...
04:52 am - 13.03.2020Don't Rub a Treant's Lumps
I'm not too sure what I can write about this day. I'm too familiar with the delicacies that must be taken when dealing with communities that wish to stay hidden. In respect of the druids of [b]Tebrook[/b], I have removed their location from my map and wil...
03:59 am - 05.03.2020A Shield for Gax
11th of Zincyth After spending the night with the lumberjacks and filling ourselves up with merriment, we found the young kid missing in the morning. We might have gone after him, if he hadn't left such a crass note. We decided to let the kid be, hopef...

9th of Zincyth 3468 Our quest to help Misht become a Master has gotten off to a rough start. After a few days, we finalize that we need to make our way to the lumber town of [b]Arbor Harbor[/b]. This somehow ended up as a week long journey to [b]Ankrot...
07:47 am - 04.02.2020I Spy Something... Blue
I can't remember the last time my skill ended up being helpful in any way. On this journey, it's actually lost us a few gold pieces. I happened to pick up the wrong noble's pouch. How was I supposed to know it was full of coins? All I saw was a bright blu...
