After the group had agreed to work together, they had been very quickly kicked out of the Nest and pursued by patrons who were angry to say the least about all the chaos that had occurred. Fortunately, Aerilyn knew a spot out of Roshmi that they could safely make camp in to discuss. There, she explained more information on her bounty.

 Aerilyn had told the crew that there was group of goblins numbering over twenty, and that they were being led by a Manticore. The goblins were thus much more deadly than usual and were more organized in their combat and strategy tactics. She had also explained in detail the slaughter of her old party warning the crew that this would not be something they could rush into. Unbeknownst to all but Aerilyn, the goblins were withholding a horde of wealth beyond their dreams as well as her old party’s loot, and she was hoping the group would help her retrieve it with some planning.

Unfortunately, as the day progressed, FIVE's arm succumbed to the damage it had sustained, necessitating a detour for the group to seek someone proficient enough for repairs.  As dusk painted the sky with the rising moons, Mari hurried into the camp.

Aerilyn had arranged a comfortable camp for the group. A travel shelter provided cover, and she had secured some food. The enticing aroma of a tasty stew filled the air as a pot simmered atop a portable fira.

The rabbit demihuman hummed as she put the finishing herbs into the stew. She took a small spoon dipping it into the juicy liquid before blowing on it to cool it down. As the liquid touched her taste buds her ears perked up with excitement, [color=a187be]“Darn that’s good!”[/color] She said aloud gleefully, [color=a187be]“Hey y’all dinners ready!”[/color] she said to the crew sitting by the campfire.

 [color=a187be]“Oh FIVE I don’t know what ya eat but I got oil if that toots your fancy.”[/color] She said laughing. Aerilyn grabbed herself a bowl and then moved to sit by the campfire on a log.  Her attention turned to the blonde elf running into the camp.

[color=FFCB86] “Guysss! Guess what! “[/color] Mari jogged over, her voice breaking through the sound of crickets chirping. [color=FFCB86] “Totally caught word of someone who can help Five. Apparently their name is Scathael and they-”[/color] She broke off and her gaze narrowed. Her eyes slowly slid to the pot and locked on her target. After a big whiff of the air, Mari asked with an unusual intensity, [i] [color=FFCB86] “Is that some sort of meat stew?[/color][/i]

 [color=a187be]“Why yes it is! We got six types of meat in that stew. We got beef, we got chicken, we got burstag…”[/color] Aerilyn started to reply but it became clear Mari wasn’t listening and somehow already kneeling by the pot.

She lifted her the lid as she licked her lips, her eyes wide. 

Aerilyn glared towards Mari who was now just reaching into the pot with the ladle about to eat from the pot. [color=a187be]“MARI NO! You grab a bowl and come sit down!”[/color]

[color=FFCB86] “Oh fuck off! What are you, my mom!?”[/color] Mari retorted and met her glare with one of her own. Though after a moment, she averted her gaze and grumbled a few curses under her breath. With a touch of aggression, she grabbed a bowl and served herself some stew before settling down

 [color=a187be]““When you cook the meal you can talk back.”[/color] Aerilyn giggled and stuck her tongue out with a wink towards Mari.
