Snow, Snow Everywhere

by Alfred (Red) Swainson Bjorkhunts Ursus Arctos Linnaeus

The fancy suite had it's own butler. A quite lizardfolk didn't seem too keen on eye contact to the point where I don't think he even saw me. He was standin in a private kitchen. Other than Rose and Blu, everyone else seemed to take to their own activities. Alroy in the bath, Quinn polishing his armor, the others sleeping already. I mean I am a wild one, but who just leaves the damn window open? The torch was still smoking next to it and there was disturbed snow so I got Faena outta her catnap to jump up to the roof to investigate. I called Blu around in case they dropped down somewhere. Turns out the silly bear decided to climb the pillar next to the window to see what was happening. She didn't look to thrilled about descending so I hustled down and out to try to get her.
Rose stopped me talking about a scaly fella droppin down and runin away. Probably who was on the roof. Blu rounded the corner after that, so I tossed her one of the good apples and ruffled her fur. I tried to convince Rose to join us but she didn't trust the building, ha! Then did Rock Paper Splitters to figure out who would keep Rose company. I won this time and grabbed a drink on the way to a bath. Stuff was pretty watered as I kind of expected but a few shots of what I got and it was just fine.
I went into the bath area as Alroy came out and I think I made the lizardfolk nearly shit himself, HA! Well he ran to go grab the plus sized tub and I just stopped him and said I could get it myself. He didn't say anything but left me to my thing. Found out from Alroy later that I guess he hadn't seen Ursine my size. Well I got clean from travel and a good sleep in.
Next mornin we gathered out front. Bound Blu all curled up under a snow pile she made. Good for heat retention that's for sure. I end up going back into the tavern and bought a whole tray of breakfast roll things and shared them with the group. Tasty things, even better when you don't have to make em. I would have put a bit of garlic and maybe some strips of hot pepper. Rose said that she saw someone banishing creatures or something in the night, Alroy said it's some sort of protection aura from the creatures. Rose also saw Locke, the Snaggletooth artificer. I owe that Kobold a good thrashing for locking me in the toilet for two hours. Damn key door magic or what ever. Off we went after that hardy breakfast.
The first stop most the group went was to the forge to deliver the giant's package. They all stood around, so I went off with Rose. She wanted to follow the snow path that the stranger walked. We ended up down in the South East of town right by a stairway that led into he dark. I didn't really want to go with just us and she agreed, so we headed back. I started to make a giant snowball. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but I felt like I would need it.
By the time we made it back it was about half my size and I picked it up. The smith made it back just as we did. He was an absolutely ancient tortle that looked more plant that tortle. Almost reminded me of a druid, well that and the fact that the entire forge was wood and stone. He controlled his tools with magics and worked away while un packing. Seemed second nature to forge that way and still hold perfect conversation. They talked, and I decided to carve a snow chair from the ball. I finished my chair right about the time everyone but Rose was ready to leave. I decided to chill and offer Blu a chair if she got the snow. The way I figure, I'm here to keep them alive in the wild. In town they should be able to not get too lost.
