Ere the Sun Rises Report
General Summary
Awakening with the sun on the 6th Day of Somierach @8dbc2ba1-9f39-4528-89f0-c2fb4cfa761b Athena spends time contemplating the day and staring into the distance with her assistant Nibbles in the common room of the The Open Door. Descending the stairs from her private room @7395bbd0-2387-435f-9b47-907661a1853e Fiona joins up with Athena, seeing that Melatona is not going to be stirring anytime soon, make their way to the The Yapping Dragon for breakfast. While there the duo sees many Dwarven miners and Hafling and Gnomish field hands scarfing down breakfast before heading to work. Among the customers is a softly playing slightly hungover minstrel by the name of Billy Joe. Fiona is offered musical lessons and is pleaded with to bring her "elf" companion to the Yapping Dragon for Billy Joe to meet.
After finishing breakfast and purchasing a to-go bag for Melatona the girls head back to the Inn to see if the comrade is done sleeping off his injuries. With the help of Mr. Proudfoot they learn that Melatona is indeed and late sleeper and most likely a night owl. Not wanting to waste time the two inquire where books or parchment might be purchased in town and are directed towards Vallivoe's Sundries. Once arriving and meeting the aloof and disorganized shop keeper Athena and Fiona spend most of the rest of the morning combing through the towering and almost addicting piles of wares and trinkets within the store. Joined around noon by Melatona @a3d558f1-7344-47b5-b770-7cf53605bc46 the newly named "Reconcilers" haggle and smooth talk there way out of price gouging and bigotry and manage to walk away with a good haul and decent standing with Vallivoe Hornblower who ensures Fiona that they still need to have a private talk at some point.
Exiting the store the group of adventures agree there next stop should be finding a place for Fiona to purchase a Herbalist Kit to further her skill with her newly bought potion recipe journal. After asking a local Firbolg woman for direction and a game of language barrier charades the trio is directed to the The Moon Hall. Once inside, knowing this a major seat of power and religious clout in town, the Reconcilers change course and ask to inform someone of the Rat King's existence, his plans, and his death while also asking for assistants with handling the remaining Rat mutants. All the questions and stories go way over the head of Sam who suggests that they instead talk directly to the The Moon Counsel if Lycanthropy is involved. The group ascending the flights of stairs and is brought into the chamber of the Moon Counsel. Councilman Elias beckons them to sit, summoning pillars of hovering stone for his guests to recline. Long, tense, and dark minutes are spent regaling the druids with what the Reconcilers had experienced the night before. Emphatic detail is placed on the lycanthropic aspect of what they had found and the necessity to take no chances of an outbreak happening even if it means killing the infected.
Concluding the conversation and exiting the chamber, Fiona has a dreadful and ominous thought. While evaluating BinBin's injuries, she had noticed a bite mark that was difficult to determine what made the bite. Fiona's suspicions are confirmed through Nibbles that she was indeed bitten by the Rat King. Melatona runs immediately with Athena to inform the Thimbletops of the daughters peril. Fiona stays a minute to recieve some pipe weed Sam insisted she try. However, once arriving at the Thimbletop's house, Melatona gravely informs the parents of what might happen to their daughter and helps them work out of plan to keep their daughter safe both from herself and the druids who would surely kill her. After comforting and consoling the striken parents and giving them hope, the Reconcilers pledge to find a way to cure. The next step, find a hag.
