The next morning arrives with the sounds of the town rousing to life. When the party reconvenes in the tavern, they find Sildar and Drundle having breakfast, both bandaged and looking tired and ragged.
“No Gundren at their cave, Sildar tells me,” Drundle says without taking time for any courtesy.
"Yeah, we know." Feu says as they sit with their arms crossed. "Their leader, Klaarg, said something about Gundren being in the hands of someone they referred to as 'Spider'. Any idea who they are?"
Rweni wakes feeling well rested. She stretches her arms and gets out of the bed. She sits on the floor, cross-legged and meditates. Breathing in and out slowly. She does her 5,4,3,2,1 to focus.
5 things she sees: The bed she slept in. The wooden floor she is sitting on. The knots and striations of each wooden plank that make up the floor. The little particles of dust floating around the ray of sunshine coming through her window. The little gray mouse on the far side of the room wiggling its whiskers.
4 things she hears: The creaks from the floor as patrons walk on it. The murmur of people in the tavern downstairs. Her slow breathing in and out, the clinking of silverware on plates from people eating downstairs.
3 things she smells: The musty blankets she slept underneath last night. The faint hint of food from downstairs (which makes her hungry!). The smell of outside air as it sneaks in through the window.
2 things she feels: Her heartbeat slowing down, relaxing. The gentle breeze.
1 things she tastes: That food smells just so good! She goes downstairs and fulfill the last part of her focus and get something to eat!
Rweni sees Feu, Sildar and Drundle as she hops down the last few steps and scampers up to them. Something felt bizarre about her after her morning focusing ritual. Why does it seem like she is looking up at the table? She clambers up the leg of Sildar and jumps onto the table and squeaks excitedly to see everyone, greeting them all. It takes her a moment, but she finally realizes that she is a little gray mouse. She admires the gray tufts of fur on her small body, she runs her clawed paws through her whiskers and over her big ears. She turns around and playfully picks up her tail and looks at it curiously.
(Ooc- Rweni has learned the power of wild shape during her morning focus as part of her 3rd Level Circle of Land (Forest) Druid)
Rweni jumps up on Feu’s hand. Little mouse claws that are like harmless, but possibly ticklish or annoying (depending on the individual) scrambles up their arm and she perches herself on their shoulder, squeaking wildly, excitedly into Feu’s ear.
She then scurries back down their arm and onto the table to pick at some food and fill her belly.
(Ooc- asking for everyone’s comfortability level. I think it would be funny, embarassing and silly RP if, when Rweni returns to her normal form she has no clothes- except for undergarments. I think it would be fun for maybe a couple times before she masters it and her clothes/equipment just merge with her wild shape trait.
If this makes anyone uncomfortable or I feel the RP goes in a wildly inappropriate direction by other players then I’ll not do this in the future.)
(Would you all mind if we migrated to Discord? I can have multiple channels up for us there (IC, OOC, Maps, Character Profiles, Character Journals), and I think it would really improve our experience.)
(Also, as a heads up advance notice: Me and my two daughters will be going to Maine July 12-27 for our big summer vacation trip. Since we are doing all sorts of outdoor activities, I do not know how much cell service we will have, plus this will be a good way to “throw electronics” out for a bit and do some quality girl bonding and nature healing.)
(I'm good moving to Discord. I've used it a lot and have helped another group I'm with in setting it up so please let me know if I can be of any help.)
(PS are we 5th level yet?)
D&D since 1984
(Lol not 5th, but you’re definitely 3rd level after all that! Everyone can level up twice now and long rest.)

Feu stares at the mouse, confused. "Is...is that a mouse?"
They carefully approach with their hand. "Why are they here?"
Rweni jumps up on Feu’s hand. Little mouse claws that are like harmless, but possibly ticklish or annoying (depending on the individual) scrambles up their arm and she perches herself on their shoulder, squeaking wildly, excitedly into Feu’s ear.

(Ooc- i wilo need to download discord and set up an acvount. Im not familiar with it, but if that makes it easier for you, sure.)
(I don't think it would be good to make "jokes" like that with Rweni.)
(I have no issue with changing to discord.)

(Thank you for the input! I absolutely respect that perspective. I will go about it in a different and creative way then.)
