Soot's Journal: The Pranking Party

21th of Hammer, 1512 DR
 
After the defeat of Janth Alowar we make our way back to the inn so that we can finally get some well deserved rest! At the inn, Luna runs off to her room, and Dyleth and I check into the place for the group. The lady behind the counter was singing some kind of historical song about the cold.
 
We question her about it, and she tells us about the innkeeper that came before her and how the cold produced by Auriel has affected them. She then also tells us about the ring she is wearing, it has the imagery of two polar bears like a ying-yang working in unison. Seeing it, I zone out a bit and stop paying attention to the woman, thinking only of my desire to give the ring to Luna and mend our hurt relationship. I also dwell for a moment on the idea I had previously, of us becoming chieftains together...
 
I ask the woman if I can purchase the ring, but she says it is sentimental for her. She says she could only give it to me if I promise to turn off the cold. So, obviously I agree! I also give her the flawless termalaine gem in exchange. She seems to be happy about this, and even offers us free lodging!
 
I rush off to Luna, and we have a tough conversation for a moment. I give her the ring and apologize, explaining myself. I also tell her I want to be co-chieftains with her. She forgives me and takes me up on my offer, putting on the ring before going to bed.
 
Afterwards, I tell Dyleth the good news and then head to bed for a much needed hibernation!
 
I wake up the next morning with sunlight in my eyes, and Dyleth standing by window telling me to wake up. I don't understand how he is such a morning person! Any who, we start talking about the letter from Mr. S. Kaltro, and I tell him my thoughts about how Kaltro may be the enemy of our enemy? Perhaps that would get Madu to help us investigate?
 
After some time talking, and bragging about my new hammer, we hear the girls making noise outside of our room. So we decide we are going to prank them, but Luna convinces me that she is danger and we run out the door. But, we both trip over a rope trap they left for us! So, I rushed over while they were laughing, and I sat on Luna and let loose one of my classic spicy tuna toots!
 
Then, after everyone calmed down, we stepped outside to talk about our future plans. It took a while, and we debated about splitting up. But eventually, we deiced to go the Dougan's Hole first to find Mr. Kaltro, and then tomorrow we will go find the light. Along the way, we pass a sign for a place called Good Mead and make places to eventually go back to and try! Dyleth and I also communicate telepathically and make plans about how we will get the girls back for pranking us.
 
As we approach the Dougan's Hole, we are flanked by two Winter Wolves and I am immediately put on edge remembering that horrible event from my childhood. They tried to demand we follow them to rescue some elven children being held captive by a giant or be eatten. Luna nd Electra agreed, and despite any attempts I could not convince them otherrwise... So, I regrettably agreed to follow the wolves. However, Dyleth and Madu decided to stay behind and wait for Mr. S. Kaltro...
