Tatashka & The Tall One

After gathering several plants, Urthan came up the fireplace and told everyone to get to the ground floor of the tower. There was a naked wizard on the ground…he seemed to be unconscious until Sam was able to help him cough up some flower petals. The petals looked to be from that heavy flower we found that is now growing in our furnace on the ship! The wizard mentioned something about this plant being able to turn you into a fire elemental and/or keeps you warm in cold weather? After asking him some questions about the flower, he said this plant is from a different timeline and it is called Tatashka. TATASHKA. The plant that grows in fire. I wonder if it has the same properties in this timeline? Only one way to find out!!
 
Much discussion happened today. The wizard is Eras whom we found a photo of not long ago. He is the papa of Borris. Eras is old which does not make sense to Borris because Eras was relatively young when he created Borris (which was fairly recent apparently). We shared many stories with Eras and he shared his knowledge and assumptions of what is happening. Eras explained that he has lived in many timelines, all of which Borris dies except this one. He believes something is different about this timeline…and we have about a week to get a handle on things before they go sour like sourgrass very quickly.
 
There was also talk about the “tall one”. This “tall one” was worshiped by the incredibly smart goblins because he gave them increased abilities. Apparently, the water from the goblin’s mountain is what was giving everyone increased abilities. Aerilyn still had some with her so she showed it to Eras who had the same exact water with him from another timeline. Not sure what the heck is happening but I am overwhelmed. I just want my plants and the world to live normal and happy lives.
 
Before leaving the tower, I asked Eras about the plants on the third floor and if he had any plant books to spare. Of course, he was kind enough to give me just that! I’ll be sure to add all my new knowledge to my journal. Eras also rubbed something on my eyelids which gave me truesight so I could see anything hidden on my way back to the ship. AND I SAW THINGS. I saw some weird looking mechanical ghosts. They were glitchy and creepy! I hurried back to the ship to pick up the group from the tower. Eras explained that those things were keepers of time and that he is a wanted man…maybe he should have thought of that before he decided to time travel.
