What just broke Vikta’s and Yozsu’s connections to their patrons. Who is the Watcher. Kenji moves to interrogate more, Dunal enters the shop as well.
Ember/Cynder throws the ceremonial dagger at the wall it sticks. One of the men whimpers at the show of force, “You mortals play with things you know not.”
Yozsu and Vikta are fucking TENSE what can beat a LICH and a GODDESS. OH MY GOD THESE TWO BBIES.
Yozsu touches her amulet as Kenji tries to call for a vote on what to do with the people left behind.
Dunal and Vikta have issues… **I’ll elaborate later on when I listen to ep18 to scribe it.** Essentially Vikta is fuckign SPOOOOKED, and she was like yeah--I never had a god looking out for her--until they died they had nothing.
THe party tries to figure out what to do next. A comment leading to a talk about the town possibly being cannibals--is just one step too far for Vikta. We move to leave town with plans to return to collect the ordered gear in the morning.
Vikta is in *not a good mood aka bitchy mode*
Vikta changes into Grannie, Dunal and Kenji are clean already, Yozsu is wrapped in Kenji’s cloak clean looking, Ember is changing clothes with minor illusion. We hope this woooorks!!
Vikta cleans off Ember’s shooes with dirt and follows up with water.
Cynder @Steph | Vikta : "You look pretty on your knees before me." ;3
The guards let us through concerned for us but not hindering us leaving.
10min of traveling, a bell goes off….UH OH THEY FOUND THE BODIES!!
Vikta apologizes to Dunal a little--kinda poorly worded but she tried. 30 min later dripping on their foreheads… it begins to rain. Cold rain.
Ember lights herself aflame… theres a moment of hesitancy as the power almost doesn’t come to life. Ember’s fire is greeeen…
Over an hour later… As we continue on up ahead we hear a horse. Most of the party hides, Grannie stays out in the road. A single horse is getting closer. Undead rider and horse…
The rider passes us, we decide to camp here...Vikta as Grannie will head back to the town to collect items.
WAtches
Ember - Peaceful watch
Kenji - Midst of his shift--he hears a donkey...and a creaky wheel. He can spot a donkey and a small wagon. The pastry smell with the old woman in tow...she had better leave us alone. She is a different old woman...she pauses to talk to Kenji. She offers him a pastry--and he accepts. The party in chat is screaming NOOOO!!! Wishing we were awake. A warm feeling flows over him… he starts to feel drowsy.. He could go for a nap… She resides at the old windmill--I am thinking she’s drugged him and that he’ll be drawn to her...
Yozsu - Kenji wakes her with the pastry...and Yozsu is like the fuck bro? You’re just… “Don’t worry about where it came from.” She doesn’t take the food. The air feels colder. Rain stops and it starts to dry.
Vikta - It is the quietest it has been in a very long time. More of a lingering afterthought. However, as They get comfy. They feel a nudge from their pack. THE STUFFED TOY IS ALIVE. ITS LOOKING AT ME?!?!?! Warmth flows through it...as they hold it at eye level. A whisper sounds out from the trees...Curiosity a Nat 1 almost transfixed… I go towards it.
Eww dry eyeballs… I’m alone in the middle of the woods and middle of the night--VIKTA. Looking around no idea which way I came from.
The mist rolls in. Vikta Clutches her horse plushie tighter. Green/Black eyed giant elk with a white coat, red ribbons in its antlers. Ala HTTYD hand sniff. IT moves away and starts leading me away.
It screeches! And Turns its head and leads in a new direction. It leads Vikta back to the road a short jaunt from the party…
Time that has passed: Week 2, Day 3 Currently 6amish
Kenji isn’t waking up...Party is concerned and a wee bit fed up. Vikta and Ember look for the pastries...Yozsu relates what happened in the night…
Vikta reveals what happened to her, alarming the party--Ember hugs her. Cynder needing to clean her clothes. Cynder keeps flustering Vikta (who unknowingly dropped her grannie form in the night), it keeps going and a going. Ember works to take control.
Vikta faints and Ember/Cynder catches her.
