Day 31
[sblock=OOC]Couple of things. Work is hell right now and my brain hurts. I'm forcing myself to post. Forgive me if anything is really screwed up.
I didn't bother to roll for the dragonchess games. Allustan is actually not very good at the game, so I figured we could just wing it.
If you want to keep talking, do so.
Pick something for Neth to ID.[/sblock]
Allustan teaches Erdolliel the basics, however, she soon enough learns that while the Sage knows the rules, he indeed is not a mastery of the strategy of the game and is clearly an amateur at best. Once the elf has the basic moves down, she seems to be a roughly even match with the Allustan. But the sage is very pleasant to play with, as he remains jovial even when the game turns against him.
Eskard has little to do other than eat and drink until the other two come back. Marzena, left out of the dragonchess game, almost looks about to start conversation with the half-orc once, but doesn't actually say anything.
As the night progresses, Allustan's snacks give way to a more hearty meal. The sage eventually brings out thick blankets and the like for sleeping. As he warned, the space is cozy, but still pleasant.
The night passes well, and you each get a good rest. Allustan is up earlier making tea and breakfast. You also see that he has already gathered his notes and the like for you to bring to Eligos in a nice package. It is, in fact, a fair amount of material. The sage has clearly been taking copious notes and likely jotting down his own thoughts for Eligos to review.
