"Oh no I try to not go near Downfall because that is where Bavlorna resides. This is as close as I get." She touches the wall affectionately and the house settles down again. "I will stop here until morning, but then I move far away from Downfall."

Valrieth takes it as a good sign that Tsu does not like Bavlorna. She turns to look toward Gan-Re but aims her nose straight at his ax for a moment before flicking a quick glance to his face.
Hoping that Gan-Re got the message to be ready, she ventures to reveal more, stopping if Tsu reacts badly. "Well, we are no friends of Bavlorna either. You may call us the 'Torilian Trio' for we have come here from that distant realm. In fact, we came to Prismeer on a Quest to find Zybilna and to restore her to power, if we can. We need to get to Zybilna's palace, but we don't think that it's here in Hither. Our plan was to learn more about Bavlorna so that we could defeat her or at least make a bargain with her that would further our Quest. If you know anything that could help us, we would be glad to hear it!"
Val hopes that Tsu is opposed to the Hourglass Coven and willing to help the Trio, but she stands poised and ready for anything.
"I don't know what bargain you plan to make, but I warn you against making one as Bavlorna has a way to bend and twist her bargains. I hear she dislikes her sisters, but beyond that I have little dealings with her. Zybilna's Palace Hearts Desire is in the center of Prismeer. Although I have heard no one has been able to reach it from here in Hither. I think you may need a guide look for Clapperclaw in Downfall." says Tsu as she stirs her cauldron with a big wooden spoon.
Finley has been sitting quietly listening, "We definitely dunnae want to make a deal with her. Our friend Zybilna has been missing and we want to make sure tha' she's okay. Thank ye for all your hospitality. Who is this Clapperclaw anyways? What do they look like?"

"Clapperclaw is easy to notice as he has 2 giant crab claws instead of hands" says Tsu as she taste test the brown sludge like substance in her cauldron.
Gan-Re checks his axe to make sure its still there and gives it a quick sharpen. It important to take care of his weapons. He gives Val a thumbs up. He asks Tsu "Do you know anything about a unicorn or maybe a alicorn? I forget which one."

He asks Tsu "Do you know anything about a unicorn or maybe a alicorn? I forget which one."
"Oh, yes!", Valrieth says. "We were told that we would need to find the alicorn to complete our Quest. Do you know anything about an alicorn in Prismeer?"
"Oh of course an Alicorn is the horn of a rare unicorn. The horn is a powerful object, but I do not know where it could be" says Tsu
Valrieth takes out her pen, ink, and notebook and adds to her notes.
When the discussion dies down, Val says, "I'm sorry. We were so focused on our Quest that we haven't asked about you and your story. Who are you Ms. Harabax? And what do you want?"
Depending on how Tsu responds, Val follows up with a variety of questions.
"Have you always lived here in Prismeer? Do you remember what it was like before Bavlorna took over Hither?"
"Did you create this fantastic house? Or...where did it come from?"
"Why do you avoid Bavlorna? Have you encountered her before?"
And if Val can get Tsu taking about Bavlorna again: "If our Quest requires us to confront Bavlorna, is there anything that we can use as leverage over her? Or does she have some weakness that we could exploit?"
"Oh I am just an old lady dabbling in alchemy. At one time this house used to not move at all, but then Bavlorn came and create this terrible swamp. I was smart enough to realize her power and avoided her ever since then. It used to be so beautiful here with grass and twinkling trees and I miss the colors. Now everything is a drab mud green. Through alchemy I gave my house some legs. Now we travel through Hither looking for alchemical reagents. I am sorry I know not what weaknesses Bavlorna has if she has one, so far none have dared to oust her from Prismeer." says Tsu Harabax. "Now get some rest I need to finish this delectable dish" she then adds some spices to her cauldron.
"Ah wonder why they call it an alicorn if it comes from a unicorn?" Finley thinks out loud, "So Bavlorna made th' horrible swamp, aye? She's a bit devilish, isn't she?"

Valrieth has no further questions and is ready to rest.
While Val wasn't happy with Tsu Harabax's approach to dosing them with untested potions, she feels safe enough here to sleep without setting a watch. But if Finley and Gan-Re disagree, she'll volunteer for the 1st shift. Val will eat one of the remaining goodberries for sustenance. (If Gan-Re or Finley have an extra berry from this morning's casting, Vale will eat that one since she still has one from her afternoon casting that will last until mid-day tomorrow.) Before she finally settles down to rest, Val takes out her yew wand and casts Goodberry and wraps up the fresh batch of 10 berries for the next day.
The rest of the night is uneventful except for the occasional cackle from Tsu as she worked late in her kitchen.
Soon morning comes and Tsu leads the Trio out of her house. "Well good luck on your travels and I have a feeling you will need it sooner than later if you heading for Downfall"
The water level has risen back to normal levels with some dry patches of land.
As soon as the party departs the house rises up and walks away moving deeper into Hither.

(OOC: @Weathervisin - Was the house still throughout the night? That is, is the party in basically they were when they stopped last night?)
Goodberries
Valrieth distributes 3 new goodberry berries from last night's casting to Gan-Re and Finley since any leftover from yesterday would have now lost their potency.
Val keeps 5 berries (4 from last night, and 1 from the spell she cast shortly after they defeated Agdon Longscarf) for herself.
Flooding
It sounds like the Trio can hike for now, but Val is worried that everything could suddenly flood again.
They could try the same approach as yesterday. Climb trees until Val can make them an ice boat with shape water.
Or they could try to take the boat from the Brigands' Tollway (if they can find it) with them in the [Tooltip Not Found] as long as it's less than 10 feet long. Of course, based on yesterday's flood, they probably wouldn't have time to open the hole and get the boat out again once they realized that the swamp was flooding.
Spell Preparation
Val and Finley will need a brief break to prepare spells before they start the day.
Val suggests that the party find the boat that they were using yesterday just to help find their bearings. They can plan their day there, and she can commune with Nature and consult her star map there.
As they try to find the boat, Val asks for ideas about what they may face today.
Bullywugs?
Giant snakes?
The harengon brigands again?
As she said last night, Val is hoping that they won't have to face Bavlorna right away: she doesn't feel ready for that confrontation at all! Maybe they can find Clapperclaw avoid Bavlorna entirely, but somehow, Val feels like they are fated to meet Bavlorna eventually.
"Ye could always find th' boat with yer keen eyes, Gan-Re. Only a quick scout though, we can't waste too much time around here else th' bandits could possibly find us again." Finley offers with a yawn.

"Will do Finley" Gan-Re flies off, but not too far, looking for the boat or any other trouble. Shield on arm and Javelin in hand.
