Nickalo will tell you that your favorite halfling druid has been fairly
successful in keeping humans from controlling the Coatipids. Petrichor has
allowed them to establish a small farming community on the NE side of the
island. They are not allowed to hunt on the island. Only farm and the Lord
of Raychester is paying tribute to the little shit as well. He did well
actually. There was a large group of Vulture Grabbers, but he isn't sure
where they went. They are not on Coatipids.

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 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.

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.

The bears 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?
