Twilight's Dream

by Cheerful

So, in Olc Skerry barely a week and I'm already heading back to Rosohna. But first, the events with Mortimer at his stall was... intriguing, we met the man Mortimer was supposed to sell the moss to but - outside of a handful - he didn't want to give the man the moss, which turned out to be a very mild hallucinogenic. It has very little chance of having a "reasonable" lethal dose. Calry(?) - Mortimer's apparent partner - appeared, we had an interesting discussion about (in particular) Mort's abstinence from drugs, during which Calry absconded with the bucket of moss. After the discussion on drugs, I talked to Mort a bit more about my history. My Curse. Nothing explicit - yet - but there's no reasons for obfuscating my goals for now unless I've made some secret enemies?
 
After the not-a-drug-sale with Mort, we returned to the house for a brief moment where I then went with Thazzumlir and Sivrit to find Captain Quavala, the man who brought me here, to get passage back to the Dynasty with my new found friends, I paid for the journey and then after a short conversation returned to the house once more for food. Heidan, it turns out, had figured out how to refine the moss into it's more potent form that people consumed, over dinner we talked and I attempted to figure out why Mortimer is so adverse to drugs which inadvertently pressured him into trying the hallucinogen. After dabbling myself I went to bed in preparation for for the trip in the morning. Hopefully the trip aboard the Twilight Dream will be as uneventful as my one here, and it'll be nice to return to the twilight of home... I think that's what I most look forward to. The sun is, while not uncomfortable, unusual for me.
