#30 Lanny, Manny, Janny, and Bob (he's adopted)

October 12, 2022

Location: Silverymoon

after a stressful encounter with his parents, Skjorn seeks closure by visiting his nanny's family

  • Skjorn leads Party to the edge of the city, populated mostly by farmers
  • Skjorn asks around for leads on his nanny's family and everyone knows exactly who he means; her name was literally Nanny

Party heads to Nanny's family home, stuffed full of friendly halflings

  • Nanny's daughter, Tanny, invites them all in without knowing who they are at first
    • once settled, Skjorn introduces himself and everyone else, referring to Jorlan and Shoor as "good boys"
  • the house is cluttered with a low ceiling, so Zaz almost knocks something over with his wings several times

Tanny takes everything in stride and calls for the rest of the family

  • Party meets her brothers: Lanny, Manny, Janny, and Bob (he's adopted), as well as her unnamed husband and children
    • they're all excited to finally meet Skjorn, since Nanny often talked about him fondly
  • Tanny leads most of the children (some linger behind) to the kitchen to bake pie for the guests
  • Manny says that when they heard the Björnssons kicked out their son, they tried to find him
    • though they don't have much, they wanted to take Skjorn in

Party mingles for a few hours; the halflings make excellent hosts and love to entertain

  • Skjorn comments on the drows' hotness; the halflings appreciate his "humor"
  • the children are fascinated by Derendil and like petting his fur
  • at the end of the day, the family tells Skjorn he's always welcome back

the next day, Party is getting ready to continue their journey

  • Jorlan buys some books on learning Common; he and Derendil will practice together, and Shoor will roughly pick it up by being in the background

in the market, a half-elf noble recognizes Skjorn

  • she and Skjorn are around the same age and grew up near each other, but were never really friends
  • still, she asks for a favor:
    • her parents have set up an arranged marriage with her childhood bully, and she wants Party to find a socially acceptable reason for her to call off the wedding (or force her fiancé to)

Party finds the fiancé at a park and startles him, making him drop his sandwich

  • Skjorn picks the sandwich off the ground and eats it; Jorlan is disgusted, Shoor is laughing
  • Party takes turns attempting to reason with/intimidate/threaten the man to call off the marriage
    • the fiancé assumes Party is a group of hired thugs
    • Skjorn offers to sleep with him if he calls off the wedding, which offends him

Zaz suggests that Shoor pants the guy

  • Shoor threatens the man in Elvish, which comes off seductive, causing the man to pop a boner
  • the man agrees to call off the marriage if Party will just stop harassing him
  • Zaz tells Shoor he was successful, and Shoor pantses the man anyway as a reward to himself
  • Dibrael, in a genuine attempt to apologize, embarrasses the man further by pulling his pants back up for him

later, Party meets with the noblewoman again for payment

  • she thanks them for their help, even though it was... unconventional

Party finally departs from Silverymoon

  • Mylz starts to teach Shoor which berries are safe to eat; he specifically takes notes on which ones can kill people
