Terfel explained he does not know what the Siren creature is. His people made a warning system but it wasn't alive like that is. Still very strange. It must be frightening to suddenly be alive and alone and not understand what you are for or why you are there. I am...not as scared of it. I am still...but not as much. Terfel (or anyone else) didn't seem to see it that way. Unsure why not but that's just one of the strange aspects of the people around me. I shouldn't be judgmental.
Still, we successfully got the supplies. Terfel also told Warden's friend about the rest and gave them the key which is only a good thing. The people of Vathirond are so needy and so many more than the New Cyreans. They have creatures from the mists and the sickness but hopefully the supplies can build their resolve and if we now have an ally in this city, we can help each other. Breland seems to have abandoned them as they have victimised New Cyre, why not join forces for the Greater Good?
Terfel is pretty strong. Dax seems to watch him for commands and Warden seems to as well. I do too, to an extent. After all, he seems to have the most experience in this place aside from Warden. Dax and I don't seem to be especially knowledgeable about this place or the War. i have heard snippets - mostly from Warden but pieces from some of the people we have treated in the clinic. I am unsure of the reasons, they seem to change and I am unsure if there is a Righteous side in all this. Still, I am not sure how many of the people in New Cyre were soldiers. You can tell sometimes, the gait, the look in their eyes, little bits and pieces that are tell tale signs but it's not always accurate. I've treated people who were soldiers but I only found out after treating them and finding military tattoos or wounds that were likely from old combat but improperly healed.
Warden became a horse again before we managed to get to the inn. It seems to be getting easier for him to do but unsure if it changes perspective for him. I understand it is very...strange for him but does he prefer not having the feeling and blood and heart stuff or is he okay with small, infrequent feelings? I know that in the memories Shana shares when I sleep, I "remember" being quori, of not having the humanish frame. I am unsure if it is any way the same. Still, his new skills are being useful and he can summon a dog made of earth, grass, and bark as well. Druids are fascinating. I wonder if they can all do these skills or whether these are unique?
Dax has a certain fearlessness to her, very straight forward. It is becoming increasingly refreshing in a place that is not straight forward. She watched the Siren creature from the roof, no seconds thought, climbing as if it was second nature. She has a certain charm to the way that she cuts through conversations to get to the proper details before agreeing. Her bravery is measured and not fool-hardy. It almost seems like a contradiction but her survival skills, her will to keep going and to take only risks that are worth taking is admirable. She is as tactical as Terfel, almost like a second in command.
On the way back, we met the strangest dwarf called Klemens Fuchs. He was wearing pyjamas and was seemingly doing very much the same as us - scavenging lost items from places now since abandoned. I am unsure if he is...entirely himself but it appears that him, Terfel and Warden were on opposing sides for that war. It added a certain tension to our camps but his large crossbow implies that if he was going to attack us, we would have been hit by the crossbow by now. This war is...far more confusing than I originally thought. Perhaps it is something I need to learn up on. We will certainly have time to learn more.
I also have an unreasonable amount of money. It feels...uncomfortable. I know of the terrible things that people do to get these things so I will need to be rid of them. There are some useful items that I can get but the rest...I think I will give to the clinic. Thara can buy more medical and cleaning supplies or she can put that onto the Prince's bill. It is better put to use in there than in my pockets.
