[Center][h2][color=ed1c24]Aurora[/color][/h2][/center] Aurora warily looks over Voth unsure of how much to trust him. She shakes her head at hearing that Brut was convinced that the bugbear the newcomer was looking for was him. It wasn't that surprising, though still a nuisance, that he was so bent on becoming a bugbear again, it had only been less than a day. [Color=ed1c24]"Well good to know you can speak more than whatever that just was[/color] she says before turning to Sshizna. [Color=ed1c24]"I can read it if it is elvish. Just give me a few moments please."[/color] Aurora turned her attention back to Jub. [color=ed1c24]"Sorry about all that. The scarecrow is Clapperclaw claw. He helped us get out of Hither in exchange for finding that stag skull he has on now. I guess Agdon stole it from him and replaced it with a gourd. Our other pleasantly dispositioned acquaintance is Sshizna. She was locked in a room in Bavlorna's hut. Needless to say, she owes us a favor for letting her out of there. Once we split off from you two, we came across a rather depressed elf..."[/color] Her expression turned to one of frustrated realization, [color=ed1c24]"oh hells I forgot to try to find something for him. I suppose that can be managed later. Anyway, after that we came across a group of Bullywugs who wanted to overthrow the current Bullywug king, told them we would help if they would in exchange help us later. Found Charm at her shop, and she seemed to be rather upset with you two. Zav had traded her for a moonlight monocle and some dry wood. We met two others, though they did not seem to make it to Thither with us... come to think of it I've not seen Tsak in awhile either... [/color] Aurora hoped that the faerie was not in any danger. [Color=ed1c24]"Oh and Gabriel found his missing dice. They were in a closet with a bunch of other things that Bavlorna had collected. I think that about sums up our ventures after getting separated from you and Brut. I'll be right back and you can let me know what all you two got into."[/color] The elf went over to the poster Sshizna was referring to and read through it. [Color=ed1c24]"It seems this is a poster claiming someone named Will of the Feywild is wanted alive and unharmed by someone. The reward from whoever put this out is that they will curse a creature you name. It does not say who or why they want him, aside from this Will person vexing them."[/color] Aurora said rather plainly, a little irritated with Sshizna's approach. While she did not have any attachment to the group outside of returning a favor, surely she could have understood making sure there was not going to be an issue from whatever the gnome and bugbear were discussing. Aurora turned to Clapperclaw for a moment, [color=ed1c24]"Thank you for your offer. Could you please give us a moment to get our bearings and figure out what to do next?"[/color]
