It's complicated

by Jeanne

So we're on our way up in the Maw
Yeah there's definitely some discomfort on the way up
Heidan once again is a formidable guide for our group
Getting up is still pretty darn gnarly
 
We quickly find ourselves a neat resting spot
There we take an 1 hour breather
After that it's back to the way up
In the early evening we get to the next restingpoint, the water cave thing near the houses
We pretty much skip ahead and go for the drug moss
 
I try to magehand the moss, though something is in there so it can't get a good grip
Small toothy maw things biting the hand
While I hold the mage hand, the others try to get rid of the critters
In the end they're drenching the critters in alcohol from the magical decanter
All of that over the time of an 8 hour rest for our group
 
After that it's us going up again
As we get to the surface, there's a bit of wiggling moss left
The rest of the way up is less nasty, though especially hard on a couple of us
Especially Heidan, Siv and Thazz
Though at least we're in sight of the town again
Finally we're back
 
Heidan wants to make a quick trip via the archive
I stick with him
There's some new tiefling person in the archives
And she has very black eyes
Heidan then provides Nedris with the notes
And the tiefling wants to know about Clover
Stays at the Hag's Brew
Wants to tag with us to meet Clover
Well, lets see how that goes over with the rest of the group
 
Also Heidan doesn't want me to tell the others about the tiefling with the pseudodragon
Fair enough, though I'm still interested in why she wants to meet Clover
2gp for boots & 10gp for wool slippers for Zelis
Heidan pays for new clothes for Zelis as well as a dagger sheath in the boots
 
Zelis pretty happily takes the clothes
They then start sleeping on Iacopo's bed
Also there's a new person there
And there was cooked food, which is neat
She calls herfels Calrykar and seems to have a connection to Mortimer
And she's kind of in a relationship with Mortimer
He says it's complicated
 
While we eat Heidan tells the others about Cheerful
After some time Heidan goes to bed and Siv steps out for a little
Then a little time later Siv comes back with Cheerful
 
After that it's downtime time~~~
Or before it's some more planning stuff on the next morning
Seems like Cheerful had a pretty traumatic event in their past
And she wants to find out more about it
Seemingly she's friends with Clover
