Sept 16 - the funeral and new connections

After a night's rest, with varying levels of actual rest achieved, the group decides what to do with their day.
 
Melech leaves early to take care of the funeral rites for his mother. There's an awkward conversation between Father Enni and Melech as the Father's normal words of comfort and assuages of guilt are difficult to apply given the circumstances.
 
Zintris arrives to speak with their father. Seeing Melech, whom they worked with before here at the medical tents, notes that he is in more adventuring style gear from the last time they met. She recognizes the deceased upon the table. Zintris is a Pallid Elf, and a Paladin to the Raven Queen.
 
She offers condolences to Melech. It's been 2 years since they last spoke, and Melech is surprised to see how they've changed. Zintris offers to help in any way they can, and Melech says that might be needed sooner than later....
 
Father Enni embraces Zintris. She gives him a pouch of 100gp. Father protests a bit. She then helps by casting a Funeral Rite spell on the body.
 
Marya asks Seb about skywriting some warning messages over the Pahla family home.

As the household gets up and ready for the day. Marya notices an elven woman and recognizes Molly in yet another form.

As the group comes to the house, and notice Molly, the woman very pointedly stares at Zintris.
 
Zintris asks Seb if he knows the elf. Seb then says "let's find out!" and drags her over. They all duck into an alley and Vera follows along.
 
Molly strides up and wraps Zintris in a hug. Zintris is puzzled, and Molly is exasperated that she's not recognized.
 
They head to the inn for more private space.
 
Molly drops her disguise and reverts to the red skinned tiefling-esque form. The dragonborn refers to Molly as Marloff and cautions against letting that armor be seen in public.
 
Molly questions how Zintris could not remember her. By her age she should have.
 
She asks Komaria for help, but calls her Lenistra.
 
Zintris knows that name but is confused still and says she's had dreams of someone named Lenistra saving her. But, that was JUST a dream....
 
 
Molly asks if they've been working together, and that she's been searching for them.
 
Zintris has spent a few years with Madame Krishana's Traveling Circus. This gets a chuckle from Molly.
