Sessie 11

We have decided to setup camp in the homestead. During our rest we al focus on some individual task;

I decide clean and sharpen my axe, after this I attempt to craft some strong rope from the spider silk. Unfortunately I can only manage to half ass craft this rope.

Ruha and Juniper huddle up and read the book of materials, they are trying to found out about the ongoing magic and other information.

Thorgot starts to talk to his hammer. He says he is talking to his ancestors, all I can see is him mumbling to his hammer. Bu who am I to judge.

We all go to sleep after our task, we wake up in a thunderstorm. Juniper (the princess) refuses to go outside in this rain, Thorgott tries to find a big leaf to use as a umbrella, but to no avail. So there is no choice but to wait out this storm, after some time the storm finally settles down in the middle of the night. We decide to head for the cranes immediately.
On our way to the cranes Thorgott stumbles upon a the body of a dead elf. It looks like a fancy elf of the court of gems dressed in the clothe of a priest, but according to Juniper he is not so fancy at all. Regardless she decides to loot the body, covered in his cloak she finds a baby Satir (a girl). Juniper hand the bay to Ruha who tries to calm it down, Thorgott brings up the idea to bring the baby to the Satir heard. For a moment this sounds like an okay idea, until Ruha reminds us that we need too return to the cranes within three days.
Us bringing this baby to the cranes is a risky plan, I bring up the idea to leave the baby by the elf and return to the cranes. This idea is met with a deadly look of Ruha and Juniper, best to avoid their gaze. Ruha decides to name the baby Satir 'Deniya', my idea of calling her 'Döner' is once again met with a deadly gaze.
 
During our walk we find a small clearing in the woods, despite this magical darkness somehow the sun can find it's way through, it feels less present in this part. It gives of a serene feeling of peace, I can hear the giggles of Deniya and the song of many birds. Apparently this place inspire Ruha to an oath reading and she starts dancing, Juniper fills this part of the forest with the sound of her harp. Ruha invites Thorgott and I to join the dancing, we join sort off, if you can call that dancing.
 
After a while we decide to continue our way to the cranes. At the gate of the camp we ask the guards if we first can visit the inn to rest, the guards let us thru but we have to report to Derek Copperskin by the evening. When we enter the inn we search for a Tabaxi lady named 'Zerat', the rest of the group already spoke with her before. What I can observe is that she is really closed off, the group (mostly Ruha and Juniper) manage to persuade her to finally open up to us. During this I learn that her kitten was kidnapped during her sleep, absolutely heartbreaking to hear. Her crying gets louder, Ruha and Juniper try to calm her down. They show her Deniya and ask her to watch her during our mission. The baby seems to really calm her down, and she slowly tops crying (finally).
 
We continue further and talk to the inn keeper (who seems really drunk) and ask about an injured soldier, whom has gotten the nickname 'preacher boy'. The story goes that he was saved by a godess, who could this person be?
 
The inn keeper asks us if we have talked to the elven man upstairs, who is apparently searching for his sister (Nympheria?). This mightier than thou magot initially refuses to talk to us. It takes some persuading but after some conversing he decides to talk to us, turns out he is from the Laucasion family, never hurt from them but Juniper knows who they are. His name is Nyhm, he and his sister are part of an very powerful family, but both of them stand a the bottom of this family. Because of this the get used for a lot of the dirty work. His sister is still missing, the group draws an conclusion. There might be a high chance that she is kidnapped by the gold administration.
During our conversation one thing stand out, Nyhm knows the dead elf in the forrest is a priest, but we never told him that he was a priest. This revaltion stirs up a lot of dust and we find out that brother and sister are responsible for the kidnapping of the babies, and they stole the kitten of Zerdat!
 
After this we decide to leave him be, even tho he has a very slap able face, but we must control ourselves. But before we leave the inn we give on final warning to Zerdat, stay away from HIM!
