Schroothoop and Trystane (session 9 or 22)

by Caja

Nori,
I really hope we can put our differences aside and make up. Arguing isn't our style, and not talking to each other even less so. Even if you're not ready to forgive me yet, we should work together as long as we're in hell. You can fight me once we're back in Faerûn. There are too many fiends here to fight among ourselves. Especially against family.
Anyway, like I told you in my last letter (which was quite hostile, I'm sorry about that), we got to the warehouse, found a barrel of booze and a mimic. Mimic didn't survive us. After we caught our breath we found a mechanical horse. Leo pushed all the buttons (not at once) and after getting steamed and poked got it working.
Fenrir convinced me to ride it, which was easier than the unicorn (the mechanical horse didn't try to kill me). I named it Schroothoop. Unfortunately, after 10 minutes of learning how it works, Schroothoop decided it was enough and broke down. So we decided to find what else was in the warehouse. We found some money, gems, books, and a magical sword which we all brought and an arm eating bag which we left. Then, Bertha fell down a hole (on a cannon). Luckily she wasn't hurt too bad, and could continue. She found multiple barrels of water, which made us successful at this task, and kinda forgot we were supposed to find Trystane. Luckily Ron heard some moaning, and upon inspection found Trysthane. He moaned because his last breath just left him. Fortunately, Leo knows a way to bring people back from the death, as long as they died within a few minutes. The first try didn't work out, Leo missed a 'personal connection'. But I was there. Somehow I got group pressured into kissing him, and the spell worked. (Add here something about some fairy-tale like bullshit and I will barf.) When he woke up he said your name. It kinda hurts.
There were 2 more bodies in that room, beside Trystane. Some weird kind of Abyssal chicken tried to eat the bodies. Killing it wasn't hard. The bodies used to belong to some hellriders and have been dead for some time. Too long for Leo to bring them back. Not that it mattered, since we didn't have the diamonds anymore anyway.
It took us some effort and some magic, but we managed to get all the barrels of water, some booze and a few ballista's onto the carts Trystane brought (Schroothoop still didn't work so unfortunately we couldn't bring it since it's so heavy). We also brought the dead hellriders, so they could have a proper burial, if nothing else. On the way back, Trystane mentioned he wanted to talk, but I managed to postpone it so far. I don't know how I feel about him. The party is convinced it's true love. Even if it was a thing (which I doubt) he might be married! I haven't seen him in 7 years!
When we got back to the camp people were excited about the stuff we brought. So excited Clove Ikaya wants to speak to us. We managed to postpone that till tomorrow, since we are to tired from the trip.
We got tents next to Miriam, the woman we saved when we got here. Leo got a bit too curious about her children (implying she had gotten more in 3 days) but I managed to distract him by asking where half elves come from.
I hope you are doing well and we can make up.
Your loving sister,
Caja
