The next morning Rascar sneaks out to steal and earn some quick cash. After the party meets the caravan and are offered 100gp to protect the caravan. They tell the party to meet them the next morning.
The next morning the party meet up with the caravan outside the markets. Greycoat is horribly ill from eating some misc bisque. Greycoat vomits all over himself and everywhere else, sick from misc bisque so Raine dunks him into a cold bath of water.
"Sorry grey, I couldn’t justify dirtying the hot water bath so I dunked you in the cold and hung you up on a clothesline" - Raine
After that, Greycoat lays in the back of the caravan sleeping.
Along the way, the caravan comes across an elven shepherd called Sylvar. After a quick chat and a cup of tea, the party keeps moving. Shortly after the caravan comes across a large stone in a clearing with runes carved into it. The runes say:
'I can bring tears to your eyes; resurrect the dead, make you smile, and reverse time. I form in an instant but I last a lifetime.'
The party keeps travelling and realises that they are stuck on a time loop as they come across Sylvar four more times, each time younger than the last.
By the second time, Raine is stressing out about being in a time loop. Rascar doesn't help settle Raine's nerves when he admits to stealing a teacup from Sylvar. Raine is not impressed and berates Rascar.
"You guys didnt seem to mind the stealing when you were spending time in my fancy tent eating all my food." - Rascar
On the third time, the party meet his wife who talks about how he is an amazing bard and Sylvar tells us how he wishes he didn't have to be a shepherd. On the fourth encounter, Zee (Zameia) Dusk plays her flute with him and together the party convinces him to follow his dream and become a bard.
On the fifth time, they pass a sign that says 'Sylvar's Crossing'. As the caravan passes the sign they talk about the time loop.
"It's the Feywild; time is not linear. In all the timelines I got tea, so I'm not mad at that." - Rascar
Rascar was definitely the least fazed.
"Rascar was actually kinda helpful" - Raine
Raine was very suspicious about the sheep and proposed killing them to stop the time loop after about the second loop...
"I'll have it be known it WASNT me who brooched the idea of murder as a solution" - Rascar
"You broke up Rain Coat!! I SAID TO MURDER THE SHEEP NOT HIM - I did not handle the loss of control well. And my social awkwardness ... didn’t help" - Raine
Raine was extremely suspicious of the sheep each time the party saw them.
"I've never seen someone hate sheep so much..." - Huski
