Mosslime: Finhead Saurial/Male

Mosslime looks at the blood stains on the leather with a slightly confused look and wonders will the human female would worry about them being their when chances are tomorrow, or the next day, will bring their return but he finally gives up wonder why and simply shrugs.

Nodding his head “yes” and moves to her side and briefly makes a small hand gesture showing his desire for her to lead the way.
 

As a result of the mayor being in custody Ayden is more free to concentrate on his music this evening and is able to give a better performance. Although with the issues in the swamp still not entirely solved his mind does occasionally wander elsewhere forcing his performance to not be his best, but certainly better than last time.

In the morning when Calenthang is ready to go, he manages to purchase enough salve for the party, although Mother Grundy is starting to run dangerously low on them.

OOC: Did Andreas go with him to get a few more items ID'd? ;)
 

OOC: I think the question here is really "How much does this all cost, exactly, and is it coming out of Calenthang's pockets or the partys'?" Mind you, Calenthang would be more than willing to pay for it, I only ask so the proper updates can be made.

Calenthang thanks Mother Grundy and gives his fairwells. He heads back to the inn and waits downstairs for his fellows to join him.
I wonder what the day will bring...
 

[Speeding things up a bit, feel free to jump in . . .] Chastity leads Mosslime to her room and puts on the armor so he can fit it. After the changes are made, she washes the armor thoroughly, cleaning it as best she can. She brings her leather armor downstairs and gives it to whomever is making the selling/buying run. She then goes to bed, sleeping well and deeply. In the morning, she comes downstairs and smiles brightly to the others. After eating breakfast and getting her pack together, she is ready to leave. "Shall we go?" she asks.
 


"I'll catch up with you at the inn." Andreas says to Calenthang as he leaves the cottage, before turning back to Mother Grundy.

"We found quite the horde of enchanted items in the Mayor's possession. It makes one wonder just how much of the town's gold he'd already spent on acquiring it." He comments as he passes the two remaining unidentified wands over to the old woman, along with the twenty platinum pieces.

"If you could divine the command words for these, I would be most grateful. The other items will have to wait until our return, but I hope we might be able to establish their functions through field testing, as it were." He grins, happy to have the opportunity for such a task.
 

"Ah wands, one of my favorite items to divine," the witch cackles as she studies the items, shortly thereafter returning them to Andreas and explaining their properties.

OOC:

Wand of Tasha's Hideous Laughter (9 charges) Command Word - "Burble"
Wand of Melf's Acid Arrow (4th Level - 14 charges) Command Word - "Sssizzle"
 

Midnight(ish)
As Ayden put the violin away as the last of the patrons left the bar for the night, he was pleased with the overall performances, but felt something was still missing from the end result. He rationally knew it was due to the mission they all had in the morning, but had hoped the music would put his mind at ease as it had always done in the past.

~In the past, you never fought against a Mayor who sought a war and a water creature who looked like something out of a child's tale...~

Entering his room, he was not surprised that Moss had already beaten him to slumber and did his best to move quietly around the resting saurial. As he moved around the room, Ayden knew he owed Moss his life for taking on the guard earlier in the day, and hoped he would someday have the chance to repay Moss for something he doubted the young brave was aware he had even done.

As soon as his head hit the pillows, Ayden felt himself drifting into sleep and heard a new melody forming in his mind and smiled as he allowed himself to become one with Finder's music throughout the night.

Dawn

As always, Ayden felt the dawn approaching even before the first hints of it could be seen. Feeling refreshed and alert, Ayden stood up and carefully got dressed in the darkness, wincing every time his mesh shirt made a noise as he donned it for the journey into the swamp.

~I may be slow at times uncle, but I will not be as naive as I was yesterday. Just because we mean them no harm, might not hold true for them...~

Placing everything he felt he would need for the trip into the swamp in the bag beside him, Ayden hoped the others would not mind him using it for his personal needs as well. While the others seemed to carry their loads with ease, Ayden's back felt sore from the constant strain he had been putting on it.

~I know Uncle...the road will make a man of me, but must it try to do so all at once?~

His packing done, Ayden left as quietly as he could, even though hefelt certain Moss was only feigning sleep as to not hurt his feelings about moving around so much at so early an hour. Exiting the inn, Ayden left the bag with the innkeeper should any wish to place or take anything from it and headed to the church to pray. While he knew that he could commune with Finder anywhere, something about the peaceful presence of the church called to Ayden this morning, and it was from a padded pew in the back that he began his prayers.

~We leave for the swamps once more today Uncle...~
 

"Thank you." Andreas says, taking the wands and carefully placing them back into the sack.

"You said you gather plants from the swamp. Since my companions and I are traveling into it anyway, would you like us to look for any ingredients for you while we are there?"
