Carandolana nods. "I'll make sure to apologize when I see him next. And I'll
make sure it never happens ever again." Her mood doesn't improve.
"I heard from one of the party I'm helping out about a possible expedition to
stop the uprising on one of the islands. I'm concerned for their safety and the
halflings on the island asserting their right to the land. Have you heard
anything about this?"

Ophelia will tell Xander to be careful with the dragon. They are nastier than
people think. They often do have some good treasure, but they are really nasty.
Avoid their breath weapons. They also bite hard enough to kill most mages with
one or two bites. Ophelia can come up with a wall of stone spell for you to
copy. She will ask Wally how he is doing and will scold him to stay away from
the dragon even if his crazy master goes after the dragon. Dragons kill.
Ophelia will tell Xander how her sister was burned to a crisp by a nasty swamp
dragon about two decades ago. She was still a young apprentice. Her dad had to
tie her up so she didn't chase after the dragon to avenge her sister's death.
She finally gave up after a week or so. She rubs her wrists like she was
remembering the soreness from the bonds.
Nickalo will tell you he thinks the cheetah spots will probably fade over time.
Be careful, Nickalo does recall hearing of one druid who got permanently
changed into a duck. He did not see the druid in question, but one never knows,
it might be true. He will tell Cara that she needs to be more aware of what
those around her think. Don't get yourself caught by ignoring the perspectives
of others. The Great Weaver holds her priests to a higher standard. We need to
be models of good behavior and try not to offend any others. Well except those
who deserve to be put down. Nickalo seems like he has seen this happen before
with young females. Druids are less concerned about those natural type of
things than many. He will suggest to simply take the high road and apologize if
you might have offended and then move on more carefully in the future. Rufus is
still sniffing around. He seems worried.
Crandall and Eggbert will be excited about the leather shop and the offer of
lodging at Tower 8. Mawby will give Ahearn a look, like what the heck do you
have there?
He will suggest Ahearn wait for him and he will immediately address Sean. What
can I do for you? How good sir have you found a clutter of followers? Two
sailors and two dogs? Mawby will offer to take care of the two and get them
settled in Poppins' old store. He is fairly sure it is still empty. He will
suggest that he can probably take care of the title, etc. and handle any
mayorial issues for about 8 gold total. Since they are friends of Ahearn and
Holly, he will make sure they are well treated.
Sean will grab the torc from the jewelers. It is really high quality. He thinks
even Bonaluria might think it is nice.
Nancy and Sarah will promise to check in at Hagar's tower in a couple of days
once they get Lori situated.
Jethro will plan to take the Turtle and Nancy back with the requested supplies
for Fred. Anyone else want a return trip at this time?

After making port, Xander will make his way to Ophelia and bring her up
to date on what's been going on at the Cove. He'll continue with, "The group is
planning on doing some building out there for some long term buildings. I was
wondering if you know where I can get my hands on a copy of the Wall of Stone
spell. I know that I can't cast it yet, but if I have a chance to study it, I
should be able to give it a go soon. Also, we're planning on tackling a dragon
or two, do you know of any particular defenses I can come up with to keep them
from killing me in a single shot... again?"

Sean will invite Sarah to come back to the Cove
if she wishes, or stay at Tower 8 if she'd prefer to stay in Aarell.
Sean is glad to see Matilda. "Welcome back!"
he'll say, never quite comfortable enough to simply call her Matilda, and
pretty sure she wouldn't want anything more formal.
Sean can take Crandall and Eggbert by the
leatherworker's shop. He's just uncertain as to what he needs to do to
facilitate their taking up residence. He assumes there will be some sort of
licensing fee to the Lord Mayor's office.

Lori will be guided by both Nancy and Sarah.
The two men will help, but they will be asking about this leatherworker's shop
and where it is located?
Matilda is back and will take Lori into her
care with the gentleness expected by one of Farab's devotees. Nancy will
produce a list of materials for Matilda that Pomeroy sent along for her to
gather before she returns. Sarah is a bit untethered and isn't sure where she
is going to go from here assuming Lori doesn't need her. Matilda will of course
offer her a place to stay for at least a while.

Sean's first stop is the Hospital, with
Lori and whoever came along (it was never clear, but I am pretty sure Sarah at
the least did, as well as Crandell and Eggburt, but for different reasons).
Sean will bring along all the freed captives who came along, Carandolana's
dogs, and any message for Bonaluria from Elmore. If he finds Bonaluria at the
hospital, he will greet her warmly and deliver whatever message Elmore wishes
delivered. If he sees Tina, he will ask her to come along with him.
Assuming Sarah and Lori are safely
ensconced at the Hospital, and after explaining what little he knows to
Kendrick, or the highest ranking healer at the hospital, Sean will stop at
Baltisar's to pick up a certain platinum and emerald torc. From there, Sean
will drop Crandell and Eggbert (as well as any excess gear) off at Tower 8,
telling them to get comfy, and he'll get Crandell set up with the leatherworker
shop as soon as possible. He'll greet Maude, though he does not know her that
well.. After they are dropped off, it will just be Sean, Tina and
Carandolana's pack (assuming Sean was able to find Tina in or around the
Hospital). They'll head out to the Bear Creek Circle to deliver the pups.
After they are a bit outside the walls, Sean will present Tina with the torc,
and ask her is she'd like to get married. Hopefully she says yes. Either way,
he'll retain his cheerful demeanor if he can, and deliver the pack to
Carandolana. If he received a positive response from Tina, he'll tell
Carandolana and Nickalo, and if Tina agrees, he'll ask them to be part of their
marriage ceremony.
If all goes well with Tina, after
breaking the news to Carandolana and Nickalo, the couple will return to the
Hospital, and ask Kendrick or Beathan (or both) to be part of the ceremony, or
at least ask them for their blessings. Then I am sure Tina will want to talk
to Bonaluria. And Sean will want to have rings crafted. Sean will also show
Kendrick the spur that was found. If he recognizes the engraving, ok. If not,
Sean will leave Tina to Bonaluria so the womenfolk can do womenfolk stuff
regarding wedding planning, and seek Mawby, who may or may not have the time to
chat with him. If Mawby knows who might be attached to the spur, that would be
good. If not, then on the morrow (assuming it will be too late on the arrival
day) Sean will seek an audience with the Lord Mayor.
If Sean sees Mawby, he'll ask whether
Mawby is aware of any potential settlers. And a cooper.
Sean is presuming a little under a week
in Aarell, with Holly arriving earlier and beginning her training right away.
At some point, Sean will want to bring
Tina to meet Glanna. He'll also look for Alvin and Ogbert.

Cara will find Nickalo at the circle

will be happy to see her, but Rufus looks a bit sad when he doesn't see Holly
(who I assume is with Mawby; Fritz don't forget to respond to my questions
about identify, etc).
Except for the boot, you will arrive in
Aarell without incident. Let me know where you are all going?
