Gloom Flowers and Accidents

Sooooo the girls decided to have a little adventure. Since Kahla pulled an all-nighter, he tasked Cordelia with picking up a brew that would help him stay awake. So the rest of us girls decided to join her! I can’t say I’ve ever had a girl’s day, but it was fun!
 
On our way to the shop, a half-orc stopped right in front of us and shoved a paper in our faces which had a picture of some guy’s face with a reward. Kind of random but if we need to catch a bad guy, we need catch a bad guy. First, we stopped by the Burning Eel to pick up that “wake up” brew for Kahla. Cordelia worked out a deal with the merchant – she wanted to pay less for the potion, so the merchant asked for a specific plant in return.
 
After leaving the Burning Eel and walking through town a bit, the boys caught up to us. We eventually came across this patch of beautiful looking flowers which Borris walked straight into. I guess he didn’t see the patch, so I followed him to try and pull him out buuuuuuut it turns out the plants hurt. They made my mind go a little crazy but that’s how mother nature is sometimes, you know? Ah well. Luckily, Borris scooped me up and walked right out of the patch. I guess he was okay after all! Then Borris chopped most of the flowers which made me kind of sad but we packed them up and took them back to the merchant so I know they will be put to good use.
 
Since I used my blanket to pack all those flowers, the merchant reimbursed me 1 copper to get a new one. That was very kind of him. I also asked if he was willing to share his knowledge of the flower, which he did after we compensated him with the flowers we brought back! HECK YEAH. Now I think I’ll get myself a journal to write down this knowledge and any future knowledge! There are so many flowers.
 
With the remaining gloom flowers, I got a bath potion and a battle brew potion. Thank you, Cordelia! Cordelia also managed to make friends with the merchant who introduced himself as Acoris. On our way out, Kahla and the half-orc (Urghan? Urgthan? Urrrrrrr..) spotted the guy from the flyer. So we obviously followed him. We snuck up on him while snapping our fingers to be intimidating I think…I just did what I was told. Once we walked into the area the bad guy was in, a door shut behind us and locked us in! Then more bad guys showed up! Turns out they were hiding in barrels.
 
These guys didn’t give me a lot of options, so I had to knock a few out. After clearing a path for myself, I ran after the main bad guy. I thought maybe we could talk about the situation, but he swung his sword at me and then stabbed me with his dagger. It went right into my side and hurt a lot. CAN YOU BELIEVE HIM??! He really hurt my feelings…I thought people could be better than that. I don’t really know what came over me, but I got so upset that I dropped my quarterstaff and backhanded the foolishness right out of him. So hard, in fact, that I accidentally broke his neck. I…uh…feel kind of bad about that but he hurt me first!
 
If anyone thought I did a bad thing, Sam came along and turned the rest of the bad guys into meat. Just…straight up meat. Mushed up people everywhere. Sam got red on him. Thankfully, I had a bath potion. I gave it to Sam – he needed it.
 
The last of the living bad guys were hiding in more barrels in the area. We told them to hop out and they were terrified of their surroundings. Kahla started questioning them about the boats and Mr. Faith, but these guys were useless. I told them I better not see them doing bad things ever again…or else…I think they will change their ways. We let them go.
 
Anyway, we found some good stuff after looting the dead bad guys. I’m sorry they had to die…but now their bodies are one with nature. Just how it should be.
