as khashana is walking to the forest, drunk.

mindful of my footsteps.

I realize im being watched. i heard crunching but turn around to no one. what is happening?

no one is there.

I call out.

no response. 

i continue walking to the tree.  i don't think any one is following. maybe i'm drunk.

khashana is drunk. cuddly, silly.

Vas finds it amusing. First time khashana is drunk in front of him. Illya ios not there.

Khas passes out at some point. Wakes up to a blanket on her and a glass of water and a note from Vas recommending she drink the water. He  must be busy so he left me the note.

Kahs wakes up, finds the note. leaves a thank you note and a zircon. (redish brown)

heads back to leaf's end/. headache

smig wakes up. sees room services waiting for Jeth.

Smig takes Jeth's room service meal. (madge)

Dorbin makes a new homunculus. stuffs it into a pocket.

khashana walking slowly.

a band of 3-4 adventurers. shouting. start to make their way into the forest.

makes a baggie of bark for the tree.

I see ivy with food and coffee.

I see everyone with food. Im hungry. 

I snap Safira into existenace and ordere 5 bowls of food for us.

safira alarms some patrons of the bar but they get over it.

I get the food and we eat.

Jeth starts to wake up.

Khashana asks ivy if getting drunk and getting on stage is normal.

Ivy explains for dwarves. 

khashana asks ivy to not let her drink again.

Smig and khashana talk about where she sleeps.

smig wants eggs, khashana wants eggs, dorbin wants eggs.

pickled eggs. we want a sampler.

masdge thinks we are weird.

smig wants us to smile at the  server. khashana primal savergery smiles.

I tell them about the adventuers who left this morning.

Ivy asks if we are professionals. the guy laughs at us. Ivy is annoyed.

He smiles at us and nudges me a bit./

I hiss at him but he is werided out but stays. 

Smig and him chat about his family. Horse is his name. (lugar is his real name)

smig talks about white tony.

I take sdome food from his plate. He accepts it. I warm up to him like a cat.

he travels with groups. gets some things. sometimes interesting kills.

tiger person. ac ouple months ago. six fingers. strange. didn't quite kill him.

basilik at some point.

Jeth emerges exhusted. feels terrible.

horse is rough looking, hulking. friends call me horse. 

horse orders more stew. Maja walks in and horse jumps up and tells maja!

I see you all met horse.

Jeth asks dorbin when we met horse. Doens't remember much about last night.

horse rips off some bread and dips it into the stew.

asks maja about leading us into the woods.

maja is trying not to reveal too much. heading out in a day or two.

kashahna asks why he is names horse while she steals stew.

Horse says it's a secret and maja grumbles at him.

the name hhorse is ironic. traveling into the forrest, normally riudes horses but he is too big. Khashana loves that. THORNGUARD

smig laughes about him being ridden and never has a name. 

is smigs name not his real name?

Khashana also have many names and doesn't ride horses.

horse laughes. it's off seaon

wher are we going. 

Safira grabs an egg fromt he table and grabs it between horse and i.

horse says "big cat" and pets her. 

Kahshyan apologizes for hissing at him.

he apologizes for laughing at ivy.

Ivy realizes that we are not acutally professionals at all.

this is my longest with a group.

horse skewers a potato.

we are freelancers.

ivy reveals that we are working with the leaders of karse.

HOrse thinks that strange.

smig says that ivy works for a god. him for the sun.

horse works for himself

ivy says we are avoiding the question.

ivy asks about religion.

I'm new to this 'religion' thing.

swamp area wroshipping dragon. -horse

WHERE! SHOW ME!

He marks it on my map.

I would like to learn more.

The twisted branches. people go missing. 

khashana keeps the map

all friendly. spend 5 minutes withthem and then dragon draongs.

Kashana gets excited and talks about how he respects the gods of war and dragons are basicallyt the natrual gods of war and should be respected and then realizes that she is rambling.

THey dress all in black. That's a cult -ivy 

Horse gives ivy the 30secs kelemvor speech.

khas asks maja if we are going the dragon way. Not really but we technically could.

mentions merkel. war of bones. ivy. net. body into portion. all that happened here.

so the business is about kelemvor

you taking them to the Stone folk, Maja? _Horse.

statues rumored to once be people. long ago during the war of bones. statues are old, overgrown ivy.

khsahna takes out the map again to see where the stone folk are and their relation tot he dragon.

Maja tells horse if he is gonna tattle on us. 

horse says no, if we take him with.

Kashana steals more food from him and gives him a toothy cat tooth smile. he is chill. SHe says she likes him.

he thinks if we are crazy enought to go into the forest and see the dragons, he wants to see what we are doing.

he has been in the branches 25 times. been everywhere with the thornguard. except where we are going. He is fascinted. 

if we are stupid to travel in winter, we will need him.

smig asks about a dragon horn.

folks go missing lately. hard to travel and 

encounter hostile things and you don't come back.

the dragon people are friendly on the surface but they are weird folk.

Jeth has been quite. nursing his hangover. jeth thinks about the stone folk and the war of bones and ones fleeing. the dragon horn was mentioned in a tomb or ancient area. could overlap. anywhere where there are structures or remanents from this time period. Would be a good place to look for the horn.

Horse stands up. I'll let you decide. I['ll take care of some business. come find me at the guild hall if you want some help.

Jeth is so confused.

kashahna explains that we need a tank. sshe is tired. can;t always be in front. needs to take some time from dragon.

and she was DRUNK. she went home DRUNK. she heard things.

horse is a good guy. just lonely. he wants some friends. his whole party was wioped out.

all he knows is danger and that forest.

sign up for the guild? supply support but a cut of the profits. way to notify others of danger. scroll of sending to call upon other guild members for rescue. 

The thornguard is to keep the forest out of the city. harder every year.

jeth trusts us.

i like him, he smells like th forest.

smig is happy he sat through a whole meal with him.

does horse come with the guild attached? he is his own thing. 

they will turn their eyes from him. he is a reguylar.

Dorbin trusts ivy's insight. He will respond to lugar.

join the guild? above board.

maja pays her dues but doesn't stick to much too it.

we have enough work and our own guild.

we work for neverwinter and some even gods.

kashahna likes the idea of her being a horse with horse.

do we need horse?

offroading and not quiet.

looking for hedra's last known place. possibly at the hall of rainbows which was the last place of prince quinrel. long ago. pocket dimension

golem can break the barrier there. but it doens't fully knows it's way. 

hedra had found the golem. 

hedra came upon a village of robed villagers who were oddly nice (BLACK DRAGON CULTISTS???)

pathway through to the dales of mounring.

WE need to look for Ziggy as well. Promised his niece

Do some shopping. Some questioning and then head out first thing in the morning.

Head towards the stone folk. Follow the river. Is more constant. TO marsh where the nice dragon people are and the hall of rainbows is then possibly this way.

Maja will trade down general supplies and horses. WE can search for the other items.

Added benefit of the guild, they open the stores for a price.

Khashana doesn't want to join the guild. does everyone have to? no.

smig doesn't wanna.

we have a group name!

If we want to jointhe guild, talk to he  Master Ifan Zozan

name drop horse.

might have interesting stuff. or special deals.

elvish folk. probably not kelemvor worship.

Smig asks about the zeterim/ the poeple.

don't know. don't wanna know. thjey are probably around. don't speak to anyone.

maybe Horse could buy us stuff.

Khashana wants to wander around the town along the forest edge.

chat up some children, missing kids and missing mayor.

get horse back.

dorbin guild

jeth and ivy, asking people for info. missing children and mayor

operations of thornguard. speak with interim mayor.

smig is weary of the guild. does not want to go to the guild hall.

missing people and looking for ziggy info. 

Khashana wants to apolgize for her drunken appearance and thank him.
