Next part of our Adventure

* Dragging Struth downstairs, I tried to get him to tell me why he didn't have a heart beat. He shrugged it off with a Don't I?" so I dropped the conversation as he wasn't going to be forthcoming.
 
* Downstairs I found Robert still there minding my ale so decided to leave Struth to sit with him. Struth hurried to the bar. Petros was watching the bard.
 
* Robert welcomed me back and asked about the emergency and if all was ok. I admitted it wasn't as serious as it had been made out. Robert nodded. We chatted a little while longer before he had to take his leave.
 
* Grabbing my ale, I went over to Petros who was still watching the bard. His face showed he was trying to enjoy it. Mal came back down and sat with Struth. Petros and I then decided to join them.
 
* After a little while, Struth decided he had had enough and was going to bed. Mal questioned my goals and motives as he was trying to discern how far I would go for this party. I did explain that I would assist until I was required to go back home. I explained that I had a debt with Captain Silver Fox back home and owed him a ship - hence why I had travelled to find treasure. My brother in the mean time, had decided to buy my debt and had come to an agreement that I was to sail this ship back home to the Captain. Seems he had a bit of a soft spot for me. Mal was content with the answer and got me to agree to help defeat the Brotherhood.
 
* As my brother had decided to go back to our room with the female dwarf, I would have to find another place to sleep tonight so headed into the meeting room that Barley had lend us once before. Petros also decided to spend the night in this room. Luckily there were 2 couches. Mal headed back to his room. Not sure where he was going to sleep as there was only 1 bed in that room and Struth had already gone up.
 
* The next morning, we gathered for breakfast and discussed our next course of action. It was decided that we would travel to Port Morphus (Tyrian tricked Mal into believing there was Brotherhood there we could go after. I knew my brother was up to something but let it slide to see what he was up to). We all went to do individual errands for the day. I took Tyrian to potion's shop first where we got healing potions and vodka. I then took him to tattoo shop so he could mark his conquest on his body. I left him there to go to the magic shop to buy a Pouch of Holding.
 
* I had decided to make a homemade potion with the small amount of the Fallen Star when I got back to the room at the Red Dragon Inn. Seeing the healing properties before hand and then seeing Mal reverse his ailment, I decided a very tiny amount would go a long way. Putting into a small vial of vodka, I swirled it around and then drank it. I felt myself change and gain back what Egog had taken from me. I was so happy. At this time, Tyrian had looked up and remarked in surprise.. "What have you done?" I explained what I did and why. He pulled out a small mirror and gave it to me to look at my face. I no longer was 23 but looked like I did when I was 16. I began to laugh as I was now definitely the younger of the two. He sighed and demanded I give him some Fallen Star as he refused to not look like my twin. I gave him the leftover tiny bit in vodka which he quaffed. Instead of turning 16, he reverted back to a younger age. I burst out laughing again as I showed him his face. He looked 12.
 
* "How do we fix this?" Tyrian said, as he looked at his pubescent self in the mirror. "To the Magic shop!" I ran out of the room with Tyrian on my heels all the way to the shop.
 
* "I'm back," I declared as the shopkeeper welcomed us. He looked at me carefully, "You do look familiar but something has changed and who is this, your younger brother?" "No, he is my twin." The shopkeeper looked at the both of us confused, "Can you not see the difference between yourselves?" I shrugged and said, "He's male and I am female?" The shopkeeper shook his head. "What is it you are after?" I explained that we had made ourselves younger and now needed to reverse this. He was perplexed "How?" I explained that I had made a home made potion and that not all the ingredients were now available. He examined Tyrian and myself then said, "I think I do have a spell..." As he wandered off to look in his book. After some time, he looked up, "Yes, I do have a temporary fortify spell that as a side effect does age the user.... but it won't be cheap to get you back to your original ages."
 
* Tyrian pulled me aside and explained that we could age up but didn't have to go back to 23. He suggested 19. I agreed.
 
* Paying the shopkeeper, he cast the spells and aged the both of us to 19.
 
* Getting back to the Red Dragon Inn, we entered the common room just as Mal came down to the rest of the party with a child in hand. The child was waxen in appearance. Struth fell from his chair in shock and I questioned him, he explained that she was from the spirit realm. I questioned Mal, who did confirm she was and now was in the flesh. He also explained how she came to be. We all watched the girl carefully - who was named Mary - as she was rather odd. Her appearance was waxen-like. Mal seemed to be rather protective of her all of a sudden as he eyed anyone who watched her too carefully. There was a familiarity in her eyes to me but I just could not figure out why. Perhaps it would come to me later.
 
* We continued to eat then packed up to leave Alisar. Barley gave us some rations for the road and bid us farewell.
 
* After 4 days on the road, we came to a small town late in the day so decided we would stop here. We found a tavern to stay the night in.
