Sorry for the wait.

Sylvia traveled to Dragon's Watch with the kobolds and her friends. Thankfully, there was no need for the ki she regained, as nothing attacked their group. Soon enough they reached the Dragon's Watch, and she was pleasantly surprised to notice that it smelled more like butter and honeysuckle here. She could see that the kobolds were already settling in. What really caught her attention was the fact that somehow, someway, the kobolds managed to catch and are cooking giant fish!

Her eyes had widened at the sight, and she was still as she watched a kobold, carrying a giant eyeball walk past her and the group. She started asking in surprise, "How did they...?!" She then glanced at a giant crocodile, before going deadpan and commenting "Right. Sewer Dragons. Never mind," She had a feeling that they were the answer to her question. And even if they weren't, they kinda rendered her question moot anyways.

She heard someone call her name, and she turned to see Skinwalker. She greeted with a smile, "Ah! Hi Skinwalker!" When she complimented her dress, Sylvia thanked her. She accepted the package from Skinwalker, and she answered her, "Sure. I'll go and change. Thank you!" She looked to the hut and to Buddy. She answered Pylia and Buddy, "Good thinking, guys! I'll be right back!" She then hurried over to between the huts, and had the tarp set up there. No reason to not use both!

Once the tarp was set up, she quickly changed from her dress from Cassari, to the new dress that Skinwalker had made for her. After that was done, she would take the tarp down and head back to her friends, and she said "Tada!"
Sylvia nodded at the information of the new threats down here. She had a feeling she had a good guess as to what the flying creature might be. It could be the undead beholder that Migehalc...what'shisname (she wasn't even sure if that was the right name), had mentioned after the rap battle. She agreed "At least it's not a war," When he told them to let him know when they're ready to head to Dragon's Watch, she nodded and "Okay, thank you, Yorik!" She then looked to Shortfang when he came back and told them that he couldn't find his mom here. She answered his thought with a nod, "That's certainly a possibility,"

She was about to say that she was ready to go, but then she realized something. Between summoning Dinah with the scroll and making caramel apples, Sylvia had completely forgotten to meditate to get her ki back. With a blush, she told her friends and Yorik, "Oh! Right. Sorry, guys. I'll need thirty minutes. I'd rather make the journey to Dragon's Watch with my ki back. Just in case. I'll be back soon," She then headed to find a good place to meditate, despite the smell of the sewers. She summoned Dinah and had her help keep watch on the surroundings. If there was anything that needed her attention, she told Dinah to bat her with a paw.

If nothing happened during the thirty minutes of meditation, she'll head back to Yorik and tell him and her friends, "OK, I'm ready. Sorry about that,"
Sylvia grabbed her tonfas, just in case. That was really all Sylvia needed to do for preparations. After everything was secure, she headed out of the room with her friends and headed for the Underhaven. She wasn't sure if she would ever get used to the smell down here. It was still awful. Thankfully, Pylia had prepared incense for this situation. When they got to Underhaven, and after the guard informed them where the kobolds were, they found Yorik.

She smiled as she greeted Yorik, "Hey Yorik! We thought we'd come early for the party," She listened as he mentioned that Shor and the others couldn't be here due to business and politics. She nodded understandingly. Of course they would need to take care of that aspect. Though the mention of politics still brought a sense of annoyance to Sylvia. When he asked about the soup, she nodded and answered "Sure is. Fresh from the Silver Stag," She then mentioned, "The four of us also made some caramel apples for the party,"
Sylvia honestly didn't expect the chef to hand her a bag of sugar. When he asked if she could show him a fancy dessert recipe she learned from her grandmother sometime, she nodded and answered with a smile, "I'd be happy to. Thank you," She accepted the bag of sugar, and had it placed in the bag of holding for safe keeping. She took off the apron, and put it back just before the orc chef told them to clear out. She nodded to him and led the way out of the kitchen. As she did, she answered Pylia, "I think I'm good when it comes to my stuff. Let's go back to our room to make sure that everything's secure, and if there's nothing else you guys want to grab. After that, let's head to Dragon's Watch,"
Sylvia was glad to see that Pylia was able to get the Granny Smith apples without much confusion. She managed to get into a rhythm with her friends. When Shortfang suggested four hundred apples, Sylvia agreed. As she was busy, keeping an eye on the caramel to not let it burn, she let Shortfang pay all of the fifty gold. She can pay him back later. Soon enough, the apples were ready and they were all in the bag of holding. She helped clean up the kitchen just as the orc chef came back. She smiled a bit at his question, though she did feel a little embarrassed at the fact that she didn't realize that peasants didn't exactly eat sugar like the people back home did. She answered the orc chef as she continued to clean up, "My grandma taught me how to cook. She had a lot of recipes, but she always loved cooking desserts,"

As she answered his question, she had faced away from him and her friends, hoping that they wouldn't see the sadness behind her smile as she spoke about her briefly. It hurt...to talk about her. It hurt to even think about...

She realized that her hand had stopped scrubbing for a moment, and she focused back on the task as she clarified for the orc to clear any suspicion, "My family and I from far away. Sugar's readily available there, so desserts are not a problem, even for peasants,"
Sylvia nodded and thanked the orc chef after he wished her good luck. She scanned the kitchen, getting a sense of where everything is. She accepted the apron from Pylia and she nodded to her, answering "You got it. Thank you again," After placing on the apron, and Shortfang and Buddy returned, she called for them to come to her so they could have a meeting of sorts before they start cooking. She had an idea as to what her friends could do. Once they're around her, she hands Shortfang and Buddy an apron each, and she speaks to the group, getting straight to the point,

"Alright, guys. We're going to need Granny Smith apples for this. If there aren't any, Pink Ladies, Johnathans, and Honeycrisps will also work. Make sure you don't pick any apples that are very sweet and soft, like Red Delicious. We'll also need to make sure that the peels of the apples are not too smooth or waxy. We want as much caramel to stay on the apples as possible. We will also need wooden skewers, and I don't think the Silver Stag staff would appreciate us using theirs. We're also going to need to figure out some way to store, or wrap up the candy apples so that they're ready for the party. Other than that, I'll take care of the caramel, 'cause that can be tricky. While we're cooking, remember to keep communicating! It's key in the kitchen! Got it? OK! Let's get cooking!"

After telling her friends what was needed, Sylvia immediately started a stove, and prepped the ingredients while the stove heated up. Once it's heated, she would start mixing the sugars and water to make the caramel.

Sylvia was pleasantly surprised to see that her friends were ready to head out and help her make the caramel apples. Sylvia thought that she would making them alone, but she was glad to have the help. With their help, they could make more caramel apples in less amount of time.

Sylvia was glad to see that they came in during the lull between lunch and after work. She listened as the chef told them what he had, and what cooking in his kitchen will cost. She could see that his kitchen was his pride and joy. She answered the chef at his question about cleaning, “Of course! I wouldn’t dare to leave a kitchen in disarray,”

She then fished out twelve pieces of gold and she handed it to the orc chef while informing him, “I’m not sure if we’ll need the whole hogshead, but just in case we do, I’m paying for it ahead of time. I’m also including an extra two gold, just in case we need another pound of sugar and apples. Is that alright?”
Sylvia listened as Shortfang told her what she could do when it came to summoning Dinah and seeing things through her eyes. She wasn't sure if sending Dinah into a fight was a good idea though, but she has seen Syfr deftly fly in and out of battle. Before she could answer though, Dinah tickled her nose with a tendril and Sylvia sneezed a little. She looked to Dinah as she left and climbed onto Buddy's head. She shook her head before looking back to Pylia. After Pylia made her suggestion, Sylvia answered "Sounds good to me," She then thought about it and she commented "Cooking something doesn't sound bad. I think the entrees might already be taken care of. I think a dessert might be best..." It had to be something simple if she was to use the kitchen in this inn...
She then snapped her fingers and she pitched her idea "I thinking caramel apples, since it's almost time for a festival anyways,"

After hearing her friends’ thoughts on that idea, she gathers her dress from Cassari, and told her friends “Ok, I’m gonna go wash up,” before heading into the wash closet to do so. It would not take long for her to do so and come back to the room wearing the fancier dress. After that, she will head to the kitchen to see if she could start cooking.
Sylvia wasn't expecting to be pulled upwards and into the light, like she was being abducted by aliens. She blinked her eyes rapidly and shook her head to see that she was back in the room once more! She looked to Buddy, and she sighed in relief when he gave a thumbs up, showing that he was back and okay. She noticed that Shortfang was at the table, while there was splashing in the water closet. Pylia was probably in there. She then looked to the table and saw the same cat on the table, with the scroll disintegrating into nothingness.

When the cat licked her, she couldn't help but laugh a bit. She pet the cat on the head gently. She looked to Shortfang and she nodded at his question about finding her familiar. She couldn't really answer his questions as he rattled them off. Thankfully, Pylia came out and somewhat admonished him. She did feel a little shaken from the experience, but she was getting her bearings back. She did think it was strange that her cat familiar had shied away from Pylia.

She answered her friends, "I think she's a girl cat. I think her name will be...Dinah. It's a fitting name," What better name for a cat accompanying a girl in a different world? She then looked to Shortfang as she answered his questions, "Yeah, I was in that forest. I think I did pretty well. Don't worry, no animals were harmed in the finding of the familiar," She snickered at her own joke, before she continued, "Dinah over here found me. She was pretty playful and friendly, dropping acorns on my head, and hiding before pouncing on me,"
