A New Day and New Experiences

Finishing our job to find, uh, Flewn..Floon...whatever ended up being a success. Though from what I understand we nearly lost the fight to rescue him. That tentacle faced thing sure was a bastard of a ....guy? I was forced to attack Daara because of something I'm sure was a magical attack. I was able to apologize with Fryd's help and she seemed like she understood and wasn't mad about it thankfully. Apparently one of the smallest of our group saved the day! I would've liked to see that! After getting out of the sewers I was able to experience a bath house with everyone. It was quite pleasant, but I was a bit confused since they werent wearing clothes. I had already gotten mine soaked so i didnt bother taking them off. I wonder if I should have? I rather wish that the water was a bit warmer than what it was. The non armored little one, Igris I think, showed me some tastey food that was available. He seems to be a nice fellow.
 
After the fight I realized that I'm a step stronger now! I can change my height for a bit and it helps me be around other people and not make as much of a scene! It will be nice to be out of the ring more with this ability. I have to admit I was annoyed about the way things were changed for our payment, but the property we received seems to be a good long term investment. I believe that I can be helpful in cleaning this place up! The more I can do outside the ring the faster I can learn their language and things will be less boring. It looks like it will be a lot of work for us, but that is of little concern to me. Walking around with the others was quite enjoyable. We bought some things that we needed and from all of that happened I am rather curious to see how this ploy of Igris' turns out with the cat. I met a kinsman of sorts named Embric Ahadov who works at the blacksmith. It's the first time I've spoken with someone who spoke my language here, and he seemed rather friendly as well. He mentioned that he is plane touched so he is not quite like me, but I am more interested in how he is like me than not.
 
With what I was told by Embric and a book that I purchased it seems that I will find more about myself sooner than expected! I definitely want to go back to The Bookwyrm's Treasure when I have more money! Rishaal seemed very knowledgeable and he was quite helpful. I learned that I'm on a continent called Faerun, but I know remarkably little else so for now I shall read on the area that I'm in first. Bah! That Fryd...saying that I wanted smut books! It seems it was a good natured joke so I won't hold it against him. Looking back I can see how one might find it funny. Also I was given a spell book by Marlaia, but I don't think that I can make much use of it yet. Still it was nice of her to give it to me. I'm not used to the different ways that people talk and act, but something seemed wrong with her. I've not yet seen anyone else's face change color like that while here, but maybe its a race thing? I fear that I have a long way to go before I understand this place and its residents. Daara said it was fine and since we are in the same group it doesnt make sense for her to lie, but I cant help but be curious. Marlaia said that she didnt want anything in return, but I think I would like to find a way to do something nice for her anyway. She doesn't seem to have much so whatever I come up with must have lasting benefits for her. I can't wait until I get some free time to start reading my books! *insert primordial version of emojis drawn indicating excitement*. Despite the rumors about our property being haunted I dont thing that it will be an issue since the ghosts appear friendly and even wish to help us. I find the whole thing odd but maybe its normal here? I suppose only time will tell.
