Finally free

by Marya Silverstring

It starts with a rest
Nim stays behind
Hildove will be our guide for the way to Deastock
I'm careful about using the word home with that place so far
The dragon shows us the way out of the caves
 
We part from our dragon, clear out the worst of the rocks and get out
Then we talk about what to tell Korshad
We want to keep it brisk
Even visit another cave
Hildove shouldn't talk about the dragon parts of the trip at all
She'll even get payment for that from us
 
When we get to the cave, it's getting dark already
We also leave fake tracks of a fight and we're pretty darn good at it
After that we talk a little about different things
I tell them about the egg I saw in the past
As well as my affiliation with the Myriad
And hint about my sister being affiliated as well
Sebastian is a little careful, what I don't blame him for
So yeaaaaah, but I don't mean them any harm
Sebastian seems to have been a captive himself in the past
And is a little touchy with certain stuff
Also seems to have lost some people in his past
The others of us at least all have some family and parents left
Also Melech is a painter and from a family of painters
Like really legit painters O.o
 
Dalmir also seems to be looking for others of his friends in Deastock to help free the ones he lost in Zadash
 
After a nice rest we go to Deastock
On the way back Dalmir talks about his situation with the grinners
Sebastian meanwhile munches on his red bread which he calls victory bread
Then it takes 2 days to get back into town
 
When we come back to town, the circus is gone
Sebastian is surprisingly happy about that
Dalmir brings up being getting ourselves cleaned up
We all get cleaned up, I get a private room and my clothes cleaned as well
 
The talk with Korshad goes pretty well
We don't say tooooo much
We got 50gp for the general info
150gp for the scale
My debt is paid ^______^
And another 50gp for Melechs painting
We once again go back to the drunken dragon after that
 
At least our first night is for free
We also agree on 40gp for Hil
And me holding onto the party funds of 10gp
Hil is super happy about her share
We talk a little in her doorstep
I ask what the others are gonna do now
Seems like we're going to help Dalmir's friends
Sebastian is interested in the market laws of Zadash....
Also I mentioned quite clearly that I won't set foot into the Zadash dungeons
 
Then it's back to the tavern
