Overall goals:
1. Finding out about the magical blue deer -> Finding out about the magic behind it so I can earn back my place in the camp.
2. Find out more about the druid that was there too in the hope for answers.
The secondary goal seems to slowly slim as time passes, but I will keep it in my head.
Its getting darker. Juniper is awakened by RuHa, apparently Elves are not used to sleeping. We exit the shed, there's a pit where the tree once was. There's a lot of bodies, different species, ages, races. It appears that the tree went to the sewer system, sadly this has been ruined by her escape.
I eat and drink something, quickly as to not waste to much time. It reminds me of my training days, quickly eating and not sitting around on patrols to be efficient.
We head back in the store, not wanting or able to go after her. Thorgrott mentions the smithy, I ask what kind of stuff he wants to find for his hammer. I suggest rhinestones. Juniper reads a book, a book of fabrics. Something about connected universes. A silver revolution. Some power called The infestation. Corruption of the universe. Beastlands. Tlacopaní. Ancestral magic. Elven wanderers. Elar. Warforge. Interplanetair.
Thorgrott wants to bury the dead children, we helped him with this. Some flower bloom on the place where the bodies are. We pay our respects and are on our way to the smithy.
We enter the smithy, and are greeted by a robot(??). Apparently it has been 300 years that someone has been here. It seems friendly enough, I ask it for rhinestones for the hammer, but he doesn't have any. So instead I ask if he could help customize the hamer instead. Thorgrott lets the robot(??) take his weapon, spewing out some stuff about it, what the hammer needs for an upgrade or repair. Smithy Assistant 0089. A fire is made in the forge while we get ready to rest. I find a nice chainmail shirt that is almost done, but it is reserved for another customer. We try to convince the assistant to give it to us as the other customer won't pick it up. I think about it but, I doubt I will be able to take this with me without any consequences.
We awaken at the night with Juniper shouting 'Pardon'. There's an older lady messing with the warforge. Juniper and RuHa managed to grab her and hold her to interrogate. Apparently she wants the powercore of the Warforge. She has been running around her for a little and knows Ruha and Thorgrott. Thorgrott needs this to save his parents. Some organisation called the bowlscrapers is coming? After the night, it seems like they showed up.
Some disgusting looking guy seems to be threatening. He's called Timothy Bluebelly Talks about other Dragonborns that have stormed the city, which he seems like he wants us to fight. Kind of makes fun of me too. Thorgrott ends up making a deal with him and we're going back out.
Outside we are met with fire from the Dragonborns, burning the grass and plants. I disguise myself as a Hornblower, scout-ranger-strategist. I adapt myself to their mannerism, it feels familiar, it feels wrong. A skin draped over me that is not mine.
I tell them that I was sent out here before and we've found some people, including monsters and some guys that tried to attack me including the old smith (Thorgrott) that I've found. Another guy, Judge Titus, comes forward. Juniper seems to know this guys and goes into dialogue. She gives the cheques as she explains a bit more about what has happened. I explain to them that we were threatened by them. They want me to join the rest again, but I manage to bullshit my way into making them think I'll escort the citizen out. Thorgrott sadly stays behind now as he tries to get the powercore back from inside.
