New Friends and New Sights
After deciding that we would journey to the Oasis to hire Rieta, we stopped by Ella's shop to procure some rations for the journey. She offered us food at a bargain again and also gave us some cookies to celebrate the eclipse. Feeling a pang of nostalgia, I also ordered a slice of pie. Ella seemed interested in this venture and Skamos was confused as to why I would order pie of all things, so I let slip that it was indeed my birthday. Ella seemed interested in this and after some interaction, I was invited to visit her for the evening. I was quite surprised at her offer - it's been a while since I've engaged in such activities. After that I decided to scout around the keep to keep tabs on the guards' movements and postings, as well as the reactions about town. Anglor approached me and asked what I would like for my birthday. I told her that a healer's kit would be good to have as a group just in case we ever needed it, to which she agreed and went to find one.
Skamos had scampered off with Floran in tow after our stint at the fish monger bakery and rushed back again to ask me a litany of questions, including my eye color, height, hair length (when wet), how many toes I had, and measured all parts of me as he rambled off questions. I was quite confused by all of it, but tried to comply to the best of my knowledge. Later I came across a hefty half-orc who looked very ragged from his mining and offered him the cookie I had received from Ella and an extra gold coin.
After all of that and my day scouting, Anglor invited me back to Yngvild's mead hall. I complied and found that the tavern was basically empty and that a lavish venison steak and good whiskey was prepared for me. While eating, I realized I hadn't eaten this well in months, maybe years, and accidentally ended up scarfing down my food. I might have to partake in a lone hunt one of these nights; I can feel myself growing hackles the longer I hold it back. After my meal I thanked Yngvild and wished I could spend more time with her, but I found that time was nearing night and I was promised elsewhere. When I met with Ella I was delightfully surprised that she was worshipping a new god as we had suggested - and Helen no less. She treated me to a fine night with blueberry pie and I offered the fine mead I had purchased earlier that day.
We reconvened the next day near Eir's home, as our usual, and set off on the road. We passed the ettercap forest and found it still ablaze, and that a section of fire had overtook our path, so we took another day to trek around it. A little over half-way there we happened across a halfling named Ceilidh who jabbered on with questions and had an elaborate backstory about being from Inve. We traveled with her for a while and came across a meat vendor named Davis of Ailbhafair. Ceilidh offered her Hanamura-wood rod as a spare axel and we traveled with Davis for a short way. During camp one night we learned that Ceilidh was an experienced highwayman who killed Davis in the night. We ended her quickly and took possession of her belongings. We used the remains of Davis's damaged tent to wrap his and his sister's bodies properly for the rest of our travels.
After 11 days' travels we ended up in Ailbhafiar with more rations and bodies than we had bargained for, but we definitely were not complaining. We reached out to a priestess or two of Faustina and couldn't gather more information about the abandoned tower in town, but learned that we could have the bodies buried at the Church of Faustina and have our cart's axel repaired at the docks, especially having learned that Ceilidh's rod was actually an immovable rod that probably shouldn't be used as an axel much longer. We intended on having the remains interred first before we try to hail a boat at the docks. We will also need to find a place to board our horse and cart while we travel overseas.
