- Not cancer!
- Canuck the Crow
- Sharai casts Rary's Telepathic Bond, and Felosyal takes off with her cloak to scout
- Progress is made, but it is slow going.
- It's been nearly a week, and the sun still hasn't pierced the necromantic energy
- After three days of traveling in this manner, they arrive in the town of Bleberry, which is about a day's travel from Arrandale. It is deserted.
- Sharai suggests that they find the nicest house in town and sleep there. F says that sounds good. Thessalie just wants to go inside where it's less weird for it to be dark.
- They find a nice house and go inside. It looks like the owners left quickly, but there's no sign of looting.
- T casts Detect Magic as a ritual and sense nothing in the house
- S goes to check out the kitchen and finds lots of cookware, a large fireplace, stairs down to what is probably a root cellar. There's a bunch of grapes on the counter that are very shriveled and a bit moldy. Using this clue she believes this house was abandoned between 1 and 2 weeks ago. Lellzutho was destroyed about three and half weeks ago so this may not be directly related. Down in the larder, S uses Prestidigitation to casts a bit of light because it's so dark, and she sees something move out of the corner of her eye.
- Felosyal wanders up to the second floor and starts going through the bedrooms finding jewelry and a safe. She easily pops the safe and finds some neat rolls of coins.
- S finds a young elven girl with golden brown hair hiding and trying her hardest to be invisible. S greets her, and she responds timidly "Don't hurt me."
- T greets her with "Happiness finds a way."
- Her name is Tanalia. She got lost in the exodus. She's confused, dirty, and has minor scrapes and bruises.
- T takes her upstairs and bathes her small injuries and helps her wash her hair.
- S makes dinner in the meantime.
- Over dinner, T continues to make polite chitchat with Tanalia. Tanlia lived in Bleberry with her mom, Seldanna, but she doesn't know any of her other family members or her family name.
- S suggests that they scry for Seldanna, and if they can't see her they send Tanalia to her parents at least for the time being.
- After they tidy up from dinner, they head to Tanalia's house to get something of her mother's for the scrying spell.
- Her house is a small place near the edge of town. It is at that point that S realizes that they do not have an appropriate focus for a scrying spell.
- They pack Tanalia's things and Seldanna's as well. While T helps the girl pack, S writes a detailed letter to Tholnor explaining Tanalia's situation, but she Sends to him, "Found a girl during quest to save the world who needs refuge and care. When to send through teleportation circle at Monalotsoa?"
- She hears in return, "I will help the child as best I am able. Please send her at noon tomorrow. Also please update your parents via Sending. They grow tiresome."
- T asks how they're going to know when noon is since they can't see the sky.
- Tholnor Sends to S, "Just realized you're not here. Sorry. Please send the girl in approximately 16 hours. I must be getting old."
- Sharai returns, "Included with inbound traveler: items to help you scry her mother, one letter for you with details of my journey, one letter for my mother."
- 3,000 XP ea. for 106,030 XP total ea.
