"I see. Well then..." Torq says as Jinara suddenly appears in the room. "I guess it's time to leave? I'll think about what you said Aryn, thank you for your candor."
Torq will find the twins when they return to the castle and check in to make sure they're good. He won't attempt to push his luck tonight but will be very thoughtful and appreciative of them sharing the info about the moonshapers with him.
"Anytime." Aryn says giving her brother a smile and look. When they return, Aryn will make sure the supplies are divided and go talk with Button then Valeera, then Calypso a little before heading off to bed.
(OOC: Reposting Mucors night / very very early morning for recap) 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.
You each make your way around the castle visiting with friends and catching up after a short absence while Jinara returns to his work in the tower finding Iris returned from her errands. She informs Jinara of the collection of books currently in the library. (below) The night passes uneventfully and the morning sun rises on a half submerged Mucor floating around a pond of lilys. You each make your way to the dining hall and eat your fill going about the normal habits of the day. Aryn visits with some of the soldiers while Jinara resumes his work in the tower with Iris. Mucor tends to the grove and Button while Gaelin and Torq visit with the objects of their affection. The day passes mostly uneventful until around 10 in the morning when Aryn suddenly hears a voice in her head. "One of our scouting ships has found the drekthar fleet. They are circling around to the south to catch the wind and have turned north to attack. We expect them within the next 3 hours. Are you able to assist us?"
(@Jinara- there is at least one book for each spell class. The Spell level is adjacent to the class. You can message me three spells from each class and I will pick one that you will be able to exchange in your spell list after a Long Rest similar to Wizards: ABJ: 2 CON: 4 DIV: 2 ENC: 1 EVO: 2 ILL: 1 NEC: 5 TRA: 6 Same rules apply to these books, 5 hours + spell level in order to add it to your spell list. )
Mucor would have made a point to visit Button and tell him about their latest mission. He would also provide the werewolf arm to his mushroom friend with a smile. he would also have checked on buttons children and spent most of the morning with the mushroom
Aryn will perk up and quickly touch her ear using the earpiece to communicate with anyone in range. "Meet in the grove. Just heard from Esterlin." She'll call out for Calypso and take flight around the castle repeating the message until all have heard then will make her way to the grove to discuss with the group.
"They think the attack will be sometime in the next 3 hours. I say we take 15 minutes to prepare then have Herbert transport there to get the crates fitted to the griffons and Valeera. We should keep the crates we got from Traes here and have Esterlin provide the supplies. Torq, we have an extra griffon if Juliana or Alexandria want to join. We could probably use the support. From what I recall there will be a lot more ships than last time."
Hearing Aryn announce the impending attack, Mucor would look to button and snort. "If you wish to come along, you may ride with me friend. It could be very dangerous so if you wish to stay with your family, I promise to bring you back a snack" The minotaur would say with a smile before leaving Buttons small cave. he would then join the others in the center of the grove near the Griffons tree. "I am feeling much better after my long slumber" Mucor would mention to his companions. "I hope I didn't miss much last night, I apologize for my absence." He would add with a nod
" I agree with your reasoning. I'll go check with them immediately. You were missed but you didn't miss anything of note. Varian is aware of the tower but is distressed Daegon now has control over it." Torq replies and flies off in search of the weretwins to see if they wish to accompany us.
(@Xtra: Both remaining medallions should be finished now, right? If so, I am writing RP for it below)
Jinara glances at the books as Iris describes the inventory and says "Hmm...These could prove useful, but we need to on the creation for the moment. When I visit with the arcanist in Esterlin in 6 days, she may be able to help expedite the learning of..." Jinara's earpiece goes off. "Iris, keep working so we do not lose time on our project. I have to go again but should return by the evening. Cast Telepathic Bond so we can discuss your work while I am away."
Jinara taps his boots and leaps out the window whistling for DoomTail. The large white blur crests down off the top of the mountain where Castle Daybreak is built in to and meets Jinara mid flight as they have met many times before. Jinara, on on his back, brings out a medallion and places it over the neck of DoomTail and whispers to him "We are linked friend. I will always be with you now." They continue flying down to the grove and find Mucor well rested. Jinara says "Hi friend. Glad you are better I saw you walking as if you were spent more than normal. I have something for you that I owed you a day ago (Hands him the medallion of Hellish Rebuke). Keep this close and inflict so much damage on your enemies."
Mucor would look around as though surprised. "Oh! Why thank you friend!" The minotaur would say with a loud snort. "I... I am afraid I don't have anything to give you in return. I Apologize.." Mucor would say lowering his eyes and looking at the amulet. "I will be sure to repay you friend." The minotaur would finish, looking somewhat awkward as though he wasn't used to receiving gifts... only giving them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Understood." Gaelin will head to Valeera and request that she join them is she wants to.Then he'll look at her and wait a moment pondering before saying, "Do you trust me? I don't know if this will work but I'm hoping that if I want something beneficial the wand will do something beneficial. If it hurts, I promise I'll fix it immediately." If she says she trusts him he'll pull out the mysterious wand and back up before using one charge targeting her. (Forgot to do this the previous evening. Hoping for a super enhance ability or death ward or something cool that's a positive.)

After the results of the wand happen he'll ride on her back returning to the grove ready for battle.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(@Jinara- Yes, both medallions are done.)
Torq finds Juliana and Alexandria at the blacksmith observing the progress of their weapons and seem pleased to see you. They gleefully accept the offer to aid you in battle. (checks notes...yup) Torq puts each on them on a shoulder and flies them back to the grove without issue.
(@Gaelin- Oh boy this will be interesting. had to roll on the spells tables. If you targeted anyone else they be dead... the dice want to break this game even more.)

Gaelin- Valeera responds softly, "I trust you." As you pull out the wand and expend the charge a bright beam of energy slams into Valeera and you are blinded for a split second as the image of an arcane gate is burned into your vision. You blink rapidly the image of the gate still partially blocking your vision and Valeera is gone. A tense moment of silence passes and you manage to take one slow step forward before another intense flash of energy happens in the same spot. A Huge Adult brass dragon now fills the area where Valeera once stood. The dragon is missing the mithral breastplate and turns looking at you with wide burning eyes that seem to be made of molten metal. The enormus head lowers and stops inches from your face and sniffs you. The lips curl back revealing rows of large pointy teeth. The dragon's head recoils back slowly before shifting into a familiar female but with much deeper red hair and golden armor that glows. "I've missed you Gaelin. It's been so long but you don't look like you've aged at all." She ponders for a moment as she runs up and hugs you tightly. You feel the intense warmth of her body through the armor and she kisses you as the realization hits her. "You transported me to another plane for 643 years. I've grown quite a bit but I never stopped trusting you would bring me back. We were leaving to go somewhere right? Did you already go? Can I still come and help?"
690
(Long story short... you sent her to another plane where she had to survive for 643 years and brought her back. Any lesser being would've died from the various battles or from old age. Freaking A Valeera is now an Adult Brass dragon. I've updated her in your extras.)
(OOC: How long do dragons live? Is she an old woman dragon now? Is Mucor going to need to stone shape her a ramp of some kind to help her in and out of her cave?)
(Whaaaaat!?!?!?! So she probably doesn't have a harness either then...)
Oh shit oh shit oh shit Gaelin says in his mind as Valeera disappears into nothingness. "I killed her." he mutters taking a half step forward in disbelief when she reappears. Oh shit oh shit oh shit he thinks again as this new bigger dragon sniffs him. He exhales deeply and his heart skips a beat as Valeera transforms into her human form. He embraces her back just as tightly ignoring the heat and says in a stunned voice. "I'm so sorry. I had no idea that could happen. If I had known I never would've..." he stops as she asks about the mission. "Yes, we have to protect Esterlin from the drekthar fleet. We're leaving soon and your help is much needed and appreciated." he stammers, "I...I love you so much...I'm so sorry this happened to you. You must've been so lonely. When we get back you can tell me all about it." Pure joy causes him to cry.
I'll still try to ride on her back to the grove. He cant wait to see the faces of his friends.
(Lol no ramp needed. Dragons don't reach ancient status until their 800+ years old. Beyond that they can live for thousands of years. She won't need a ramp. She's just entering her prime. The treant can't come because it can't shapeshift into a large or smaller size. I don't know how useful it would be in a naval battle though since it can't swim or fly on its own. However, if there is ever a battle at the castle it basically is a dual wield trebuchet as long as it has stuff to throw.)
'I love you too Gaelin. I'd like that... now let's go kill some drekthar." Valeera responds transforming back into her huge dragon form. The shadow of a giant dragon glides along the ground and everyone in the castle looks on in awe as this new huge dragon appears in the air. Were it not for seeing Gaelin riding her the castle would go into a panic, unaware that this new dragon is in fact Valeera. She lands in the grove with a loud thud and the ground trembles with each clawed foot fall.
(OOC: Spoiler... I was going to give the treant my ring of water walking and have it walk around flipping over boats.... BUUTTTT NNOOOOOOOOooOoOOoooOOOO!)
