Unless someone comes to wake him, Mucor would sleep for around twelve to fifteen hours.. waking in the very early hours of the morning. Standing up and taking a deep breath through his large nostrils, The minotaur would take a moment to enjoy the multicolored glowing fungus that illuminated the grove like a small city... He would walk quietly through the paths that were lined with small glowing blue mushrooms while larger clusters of warm orange caps growing on the underside of the large trees gave the appearance of lanterns and torch lights hidden behind curtains of leaves. After finishing his trip around the grove, he would end near the waters edge of the pond in the center of the grove. The faint purple glow of the water created by the algae growing on the rocks below the mirror smooth surface would be broken by the lilly pads and cat tails scattered around the edge. After a few moments... Mucor would remove his singed and battered armor and drop his shield on the soft earth at the waters edge. He would plant the end of his staff into the ground and whisper in minotaur as it transformed into its own tree before wading into the water. The reflection of the moon and the stars in the glowing purple water would shimmer and dance as the wake of the minotaur spreads through the water. Mucor would then lay on his back and float around the water... enjoying the last remaining moments of the night as the sunlight begins to replace the stars in the sky.
"Understood. Let's reconvene this evening and we can begin our work." Jinara says as they both exit the tower. Jinara will go to find Herbert before heading to the dining hall.
"Anytime... just tell me sooner next time maybe. I couldn't do it again now if I needed to. That also makes visiting Varian difficult unless Herbert still has some magic remaining." Gaelin responds "We're due for a break and Mucor was pretty banged up. I'd be surprised if he woke up to eat dinner tonight. Let's check in with Herbert to see if he can send some of us to Varian at least and check in with Jinara when we get back."
Torq will make small talk before commenting, "I wanted to take the time to thank you for joining us in the cave. I know it must've been hard to go back to that dark place but I'm glad you did. I don't want to bring up a painful past so if its too much to discuss just tell me to mind my business. Do you know if there are any other caves or places that the Moonshapers have? I know we killed a lot of them but I feel like there may be more out there that are still transporting slaves."
Torq would leave the conversation there and wait for them to respond.
While Mucor sleeps Jinara, Aryn and Gaelin make their way to the grove and find Herbert tending to a rose bush. He informs Gaelin that he does have the ability to send them to Traes today if they wish to depart then patiently waits for any further questions.
Torq make a persuasion check with advantage. The girls look somewhat apprehensive but open a little. "There have to be more but we don't know where they are. There are at least four or five slave caravans away from the cave at all times bringing in new people. " Alexandria says. (Any additional information will be based on your roll)
“Wonderful. Thank you Herbert.” Gaelin says then turns to Jinara. “If you see Iris before I do will you request a book on lycanthropy? We fought a quite powerful foe who I believe may be one of the first werewolf lycanthropes. Shall we visit Varian this afternoon and return in the evening?”
"Believe my path with Iris will be this evening. It's been a busy morning for us both and she is out collecting supplies. My visit to Herbert was also to visit the 7 Stars (i think that's the mage group. I'm not looking back at the history for this post). As soon as we return from Traes, I certainly will ask." Jinara says
Torq- (2nd success!) Juliana pipes in placing a hand on her sister's arm. "It's okay. We're safe from them now. There's at least two other main locations. We don't know where they are but we know Lucius has two partners that run the Moonshapers with him. We know the Moonshapers kidnap through most of central Telgun and prefers to use the mountain ranges for cover. We were captured northeast of here and were continuing north before our caravan was attacked by the Drekthar and we narrowly managed to escape. We overheard one of our slavers say their boss wanted to increase production so they could stay ahead of Lucius and Draco's groups. We don't know what it meant but there have to be at least two more bosses." Juliana smiles as she looks at her sister who nods in approval.
(OOC: Mucor provided the sweet handles for their weapons to the blacksmith before we went on our werewolf hunt right? Also, Mucor would have still been asleep when this was happening.. and he would have given a thumbs up to Torq in his sleep)
“I see. Thank you for sharing. I should probably find the others to inform them of this. You are welcome to come with me if you want to share it with them. That is, at least once were done eating.” Torq replies as he gulps down another fish.
(Mucor- Button won't turn into a werewolf. Lycanthropy can only effect humanoids. Yes the blacksmiths have the handles you created for the weretwins weapons.)
"We'll leave you to save the world with your friends this time." Juliana responds.
(OOC So when I originally had Mucor crash for the night, I thought it was going to be much later in the after noon. that being said, the thought of him being exhausted and then having a nice stroll around his grove and a swim seems pretty good.)
"I'll take my leave now ladies. If you need anything while I'm gone just ask Herbert or the blacksmith and they'll take care of you." Torq says before leaving Juliana and Alexandria and heading to the grove with the new information about the Moonshapers rolling through his mind. Once he sees the others he'll fly over and inform them of what the twins said before asking, "Any news from Esterlin?"
"Well that's a bite troubling. I haven't heard from Esterlin yet but were fixing to go to Traes to talk to Varian if you want to tag along." Aryn replies and turns to Herbert. "We'll be ready in five minutes or less."
Valeera bids Gaelin farewell and the four of you reconvene in the grove where Herbert patiently awaits you. He opens up a familiar portal within one of the large trees in the grove and you quickly walk through to find the sun just cresting the horizon. You walk a few paces to gather your bearings before you see the tall towers to the south and make your way towards them. A local guard sees your approach and requests to know your business in the tower square. Before you can answer two mages appear from an opening in the tower and the guard moves out of your way. The two mages motion for you to enter and you inform them of your intent to visit with Varian. They nod and lead you up multiple flights of stairs until you enter one of the many lounges that are located within the tower and are asked to remain there until Varian is available. You make yourselves comfortable in the spacious room without any other company than yourselves and wait roughly 30 minutes before Varian opens the door and enters saying, "You requested an audience with me? I see Mucor is absent, I hope all is well."

We'll head to the grove as well.

(OOC: So question... if button eats the arm of the white werewolf that I brought back with us... Would Button risk becoming a werewolf?)
Persuasion: 18
"I'm fine with a quick visit. If not today we should definitely go tomorrow." Aryn adds.
(Nice Torq!)

“Let’s go now and return shortly. Should we grab Torq or leave him to dine with the twins?” Aryn suggests
