Q1: Do you enjoy getting dressed up for a special occasion? A1: Dressed up? Like, clean the grease off my cheeks? But I need that!
 
BEGIN SESSION
 
Early summer after the time skip, a storm has rolled in around the Cherwood area. I’ve been hot on the trail for days now and am closing in on Yun’s prison caravan. Battle ensues and the driver of the cart quickly dies, and some other basics. The cart under Yun’s breaks open and two monstrous cat creatures emerge. One heads straight for me, but I make Ricky and myself invisible. Ricky whacks the gangboss and I get Yun out of their manacles and shackles.
 
Yun gathers up their belongings and begins moving toward the city. We are about a half day out from Cherwood. I instruct Ricky to tail Yun, and follow as well, but I am still invisible. I’ve spoken a few times and some of them finally start to be aware of me. The tall blood-soaked one tries to find me and uses Detect Magic. This allows her to see the outlines of my infused items, so they know I’m here now.
 
The gang had convinced Yun to go to Holden’s compound instead of into the city. I maintain my follow 15 feet behind Yun, alongside Ricky. At some point along the journey, I catch up to Yun and make sure they want to go along with these folks. After an hour passes, my invisibility runs out and they can see me, so they talk to me. They seem to be after Yun because they know who some secret identity Witch Hunters’ Guild goon is.
 
The scroll I was hunting down goes nowhere. Yun already started studying it and did kill nobody, so I figure I don’t need to take it back. Another satisfied customer.
 
As we enter Holden’s compound, I see the massive airship and am just SO excited. I see where the plans are kept and am going to get my eyes on those at some point. Oliver is talking to a tabaxi with a weird hat. Bellia (bronze dragonborn) is the one holding those plans, and that towering mama is headed right towards me. But then, she hugs the brass dragonborn, Druss? Maybe next time. She is fascinated by Ricky almost immediately.
 
The small lady lets Yun and I know that we probably ought to stay here for the night, as getting magic users into the city is an issue. We are going to set something up in Bellia’s cottage, but no way is that going to fit everybody. Druss makes some fancy moves with a sheet and now it’s a cotton castle looking thing. Ricky is going to hang out here at the compound while the rest of us go into the city in the morning.
 
When we all get shunted out of the tent in the morning, a dwarf is there in Yun’s place, calling himself Derek Shaftswell. It’s Yun, but they changed themselves somehow. Shifty grifter.
 
At the city gates, there is a line. I turn off all of my infusions to lower the chance of detection. We wait in line to make entry, and a guard questions why they brought hicks back to the city. We are in and headed to Druss’s shop. After we get there, another goblin arrives, some city boy who forgot where he comes from, Jerkyton.
