Gyro smiles to the obviously friendly Og, "Heh, a shrub like me has no need to impress anybody when I could never be impressive, but yeah if they are that close I should just run it over to them! I appreciate the help. I will just make sure Theklan is all set." He studies Og's map and directions a bit, and nod's thoughtfully. He then notices her asking for assistance, and slides over to help out. "I gotcha Theklan, you think someone is coming from upstairs who might help you out so I can run this pack down to the hunter family since Og says they might be having a hard time? I could stay if you need my help" He smiles pleasantly, wanting to make sure he is not leaving her hanging because she has been so dang nice to him.

Og thanks Gyro for the ale as he walks out the door, "They aren't very far, with some luck they may be travelling back in this direction. Not to worry, the road should be safe. The bandits I encountered won't be bothering them or anyone else anymore. Here, please take these just in case."
Og hands Gyro a shoulder pouch containing a potion of healing, day supply of rations, torch with a Flint, candle, flask with water, 5gp, and also hands him a spare short sword attached to his backpack. (Soldier background and Survival skill) "Please accept these, you may return anything you don't use. You should have no problems, everything seemed safe on my way from that direction, and it's still daylight. But one can never be too prepared, even for 1-2hr roundtrip. Safe travels Gyro!" He raises his mug of ale given to him by Gyro and nods his head.
Turning back to Adalwulf, Og says, "Well, you have learned your lessons well, I've never experienced the feeling of tranquility from healing before. I suppose my heart and mind needed more healing than a small gash on my arm. Your providing this for the good of all is very admirable, as is Thekla operating this place out of love. Many peoples and societies of the world could learn much from your ways. I do hope I'm not keeping you from your studies, but is there any way I can repay the hospitality from Thekla and yourself? I may not be much of a cook, or have much knowledge of spell craft, but if there are any physical tasks around here that need doing, I'm your Goliath and happy to help." (Str 18)
My name's Cloud. Pleasure to meet you Og, and yes, I'm a regular. And you've been given good directions, this certainly is the place for the best cooked meal you've ever had.She turns to Thekla. Nothing particularly interesting recently, although there was a small den of fiendish rats that I had to clear out from my basement. And a slice of that cake sounds absolutely delicious, need any extra help? She waves to Gyro as he leaves. Good luck Gyro!
Turning to Cloud, Og holds up his mug to her in acknowledgement, takes a quick bite of freshly backed herb bread on his plate, and washes it down with a gulp of ale. Og then wipes his mouth with a dinner cloth and says, "You're certainly right about that. How long have you been coming to this fine place? Are you from the area or do you frequently pass through?"
Hearing the music playing in the background momentarily finish and hearing Thekla clapping for the performance, Og stands up, "Pardon me, one moment." Og walks over and places an couple gold in the basket in front of the hooded musician. "A fine song, friend. Your skill with a lyre is quite good."
Og walks back to the bar and sits down in his extra large seat near Cloud and drinks the last gulp of his ale. Seeing the cake wheeled out, Og can't wait until they cut some slices and eats some more of the smoked meat on his plate then orders another ale from Tym who briefly makes his way behind the bar, thoroughly enjoying his time here.
He then notices the tiefling pulling a mushroom out of her hair and placing it on the bar, "If you don't mind me asking, what happened to cause you to get mushrooms in your hair?"
Cloud smiles. I've been coming here for a few years now. I'm not from here, but I've lived here for the last three years. She then turns her attention to the tiefling, giving her a friendly grin.
The tiefling looks up at the goliath. "Oh. Well you see. I travel around studying the local flora and fauna. Recently I went to examine a cave near town that I had heard held the most wonderful specimens inside of it. Unfortunately the cave was more dangerous then I though it was, I lost my footing and tumble down to a lower shaft. That's why I'm a little banged up right now."She rolls up her sleeves and shows off her arms to the other two, both of which are covered in small bruises and bandages.
"But I found the mushrooms I was searching for.Fell in a whole bed of them, I did."She smiles at the others.
"Well,"Adalwulf pauses for a second and looks at the tiefling "you've come to the right place if you need healing. So if you let me have a look, and you don't mind a little restorative magic, I can take care of that for you. I promise it won't hurt, as Og here can attest."he chuckles, it looks very adorable and clumsy.
"Oh no that's quite alright. Don't you worry about me. Patched myself up fine I think. Besides bruises don't mean much to me, especially since well, I'm already blue all over."
"Oh, as you like. If you change your mind, just let me know. At least I can help you get clean, if that's what you want. I mean, no offense, I like that hint of fungus and dirt. You know, it looks very authentic for a field researcher. But you can absolutely take a bath, if you want, or if it's urgent, I can use some magic." Adalwulfs eyes dart around, he sighs. "I hope that didn't sound rude, I'm just trying to offer some assistance, I guess."
Cloud intercedes. But before you go anywhere, you should try this wonderful-smelling cake. Tell me, what makes these mushrooms so wonderful? Are they edible? Poisonous? Have healing properties? Just generally interesting?
Tym arranges several small plates with cake and small forks that look really huge in his tiny paws. He and Thekla begin handing them out to all the patrons.
"Adalwulf certainly does have a talent for healing. I had just a small gash from a dagger wound, but it turns out his abilities heal more than just physical wounds. His talent for it is quite remarkable. If nothing else, the food and drink with a little relaxing will help! Cloud here knows that, I'm sure," Og says to the tiefling. "I'm Ogoth, but please call me Og. What's your name?"
Og looks at one of the mushrooms on the bar and says, "I hope the mushrooms are edible, and delicious. Mmm..." As he thinks of fire roasted mushrooms the size of his plate. Og thanks Tym and takes a bite of the cake. "Tym, when you have a free moment, I'd like a bit more to eat. Could I have another plate, please? I'd like to try your favorite dish that Thekla makes."
"Adalwulf, do you know anything about these mushrooms? Perhaps you know of a safer place where they may grow?"
The teifling reaches into a small side pack and pulls out a small set of mushrooms and holds them out to the other two. The mushrooms ave long thin stems and flat tops, their color starts off as a pale eggshell color in the center and slowly turns to a rust brown at the edges.
"They're called Rubum princeps, or Rust Princess. They only grow in the caves around here, or so I've heard. Raw they're poisonous, but if you boil them in sugar water and ground them with lavender, jasmine, and another mushroom called Takeiia, they make a delightful cure for headaches or a wonderful stamina boost. You can also flip it and ground it into a paste with some honey and nightshade to make a fast acting poison."
The teifling pauses and leans forward.
"Personally, I like to add the boiled caps to my tea with some honeysuckle. Very good." She leans back and fiddles with the shrooms.
"Honestly, they're actually very rare and now that I've got my hands on so many. I'm hoping test out some other effects they might have when mixed with other plants."
Adalwulf applauds his tiny paws in astonishment. "I'm not much of a scholar, I guess. I have some experience with herbalism, but I know nothing except what herbs to use in a healing brew. Handy knowledge, but rather practical. But I totally admire people that are different than me. That's so great!"
He swiftly jumps up to a higher position, with very fluid, graceful movements. "I guess my nature, tho it may be inquisitive, is more concerned with moving about unseen, and talking people into and out of problems."
Cloud leans around Og and grins. Pleasure to meet you Pyra, I'm Cloud. That's fascinating about the mushrooms, I had no idea such potent herbs grew so close. She grabs three plates with cake, puts one in front of her, and offers the other two to Og and Pyra. Cake? I assure you, it's utterly divine.
An old man enters the tavern, his weathered hand gripping a walking stick. He has shaggy peppered hair and an unkempt beard. His blue and purple robe and cape, embroidered with silver stars, was obviously once of a fine quality. Now it was badly soiled and burned. He smells of burnt coals and patchouli. He took a seat at the counter. "Pardon me but this looks like the kind of place where a weary traveler might find an ale and warm bowl of stew'" He reaches into a pouch and lays a gold coin on the counter. The coin is of a type nobody remembers crossing the counter of the tavern before. But the gold is obviously genuine and pure, and that's good enough to be accepted as payment most anywhere. He grinned curiously at a Michtim. "Well I've gone and done it this time! Blasted myself all the way to, uh.... with the, er.... blasted myself real good I have!" He drinks half an ale in a single pull, then tastes the stew. "Wherever I've blasted myself to at least it's a place that serves a fine lunch, or dinner, maybe breakfast. The funny thing is that when you forget where you are you often forget when you are!"
"Oh, I totally get that. We have travelers from all over the world; it's in the magics of the Immergrummel woods. I heard a traveling arcanist once explain that this place is similar to the feywild, and can be accessed from different wooded regions. Like, we sometimes have very alien guests; but most like the things we offer, so it is all good and fine, as long as they remember to be kind to each other. We once even had a giant visit the tavern. She couldn't get in, but I cooked a bathtub full of stew for him to drink, and he really liked it. I wonder how she's doing. She promised to come back one day." Thekla smiles, takes the coin and nods.
"We take all sorts of 'payment' here. If you can't pay, we'll still fill your belly for a good story and possibly some help around the house. We barter a lot. Sometimes hunters come by and bring us fresh meats. For a Michtim to go on a hunt is rather rare, since we can speak with animals. It is a bit of a stretch, you know. Monstrous even, to kill someone you can understand. So we don't consume a lot of meat, and only bartered meats. Usually. The doves are an exception. They're bred in Turnaya, and their magical nature means they aren't really animals. Their eggs grow on trees, in case you didn't know."
Gyro smiles to the obviously friendly Og, "Heh, a shrub like me has no need to impress anybody when I could never be impressive, but yeah if they are that close I should just run it over to them! I appreciate the help. I will just make sure Theklan is all set." He studies Og's map and directions a bit, and nod's thoughtfully.

I could stay if you need my help" He smiles pleasantly, wanting to make sure he is not leaving her hanging because she has been so dang nice to him.
“No-no-no! Just go, it’ll be ok. Tym will help me, right, hun?”
”Sure bet!” Tym accompanies Thekla to the kitchen, and shortly after they roll out a cart with a huge cherry chocolate cream cake on top of it.
„Say hi to Mr Schwarzwälderkirsch, everyone! Treat‘s on me!“ Thekla applauds.

Gyro nods and smiles, picks up the misplaced pack and heads for the door, sure to be back soon. He gives a short wave goodbye before slipping out.
He's glad to be able to do some good, every once in awhile. Even if the good is a small good.
