Iris doesn't stir until they're crossing the threshold into the house. There's a moment of panic when her eyes open before she recognizes Maudath and lets her head drop back against his shoulder. Once inside, she curls up tightly into a ball in the corner of the couch, and after a few minutes the color starts returning to her features.
She glances back over her shoulder to where Maudath is fiddling with the kettle. "What happened?" She asks quietly.
Ryhunis hears the loud sound outside and does a deep sigh, she slowly got up while seeing Maudath and Iris come through the door, he sees him go through the house getting some usefull stuff, she went to Iris and patted her, she then got up again, grabbed the sign. Still slowly walking she went to Maudath, silently said" Kitchen left closet, the first one when you enter, midle of it, go fast"
"Here i am the Empress of Souls, Bane of the living, the great GREAT Soul manipulator, conquerer of gods, dethroner of kings and now nurse for both half an old man and what appears to be some drunk kid"
"Well while you are doing that, have you made the poison or whatever to sleep that I asked for? I hope it wasn't too much of a big task for someone as strong, powerfull and inteligent as you are. Seriusly it would be quite usefull to have one now" she said still in her semi-silent voice
Iris's eyes widen as the memories of the previous night come rushing back."It wasn't exactly a party. I couldn't sleep, wanted to see the stars. Think I fell. Must have hit my head or something." She peers over her shoulder to where Maudath is halted in the doorway. "Weird question, but you didn't see anyone injured outside, did you?"
"As for Eve, I haven't seen her since she went home last night."Iris gives a small shrug.
"Unfortanly i don't think that I did no, why? Did you do something? Are you that bad at combat? HHmm.... Sleep, for a bit. Maudath? Are you gonna answer or will you just stay there watching?" You could sense some anger coming from her due to maudath's delay
The Professor groans, stumbles upright, glances around at you all bleary eyed, and staggers to the kitchen where you hear water splashing, a woosh of flame and a mighty yawn.

"What in Faerun made you think I could brew up some magic potion? I fight a bit, entertain, maybe relieve the odd rich ass from a few valuables, but make potions? You need to get the Professor to teach you about sarcasm," Maudath says. "The only sleeping potion I could make would be from giving someone too much ale to drink."
Looking back at Iris, he continues "Or dumping you on your head in the snow."
He heads for the door to the outside.
"I'll go see if there's anyone else out in the snow you might have fought in your sleep, Iris. I'll keep an eye out for Eve while I'm out there."
He heads outside, poking around in the snow drifts where he found Iris, and looks up and down the street for Eve.
"I see.." she says with a happy voice, slowly gets to Maudath, then slowly goes to the entrace of the house, gets the sign on her left hand, and returns to him. And then punches him in the face "ARE YOU ACTUALLY JOKING WITH ME NOW??First you miss the ABSOLUTE OBVIOUS SIGN to not make any noise, then you bring this ,no we have a demon at home blue version, wich already made waaayyy too much noise, and you come here around the house disturbing LITERALLY ANY SILENCE that this house had!! How the HELL is the professor supposed to be usefull to me if he doesn't rest well? YOU IDIOT!" She turned to Iris "And you! You should also had read this, i repeat, ABSOLUTE OBVIOUS SIGN to not do any noise to keep the litle guy asleep!" she then stormed out of the house in any direction away from civilization screaming"CUMBERWORLDERS! DALCOPS! ALL OF THEM! AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
((I am not actually angry and sorry for the insults.... and yes i did had an absolute field day just searching for old insults))
The Professor appears on the inner doorway, sipping some tea, wincing, and sighing gratefully.
"Was that Ryhunis I heard? I've had a breakthrough I wanted to share with her! All due to her penchant for leaving fingers behind! An important step, indeed, indeed..."
He turns and wanders back into the kitchen, returning shortly with tea and hot water to dilute it.

“I was sleeping. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.” Iris glances back to the Professor and gives a half smile. “I’m sorry.” Tugging her cloak tighter around her, she pours a cup of tea and savors the warmth of it between her hands, still curled up on the couch.
Eve doesn’t notice Maudath until he’s right there beside her. And even then, not until he takes hold of her bleeding fists.
It’s only then, that she looks up at him. And she just launches herself at him. She chokes him into a tight hug around his neck, while he’s still knelt beside her in the snow.
No sooner than she’s hugged him though, she pushes herself back off him, fearful, “I’m NOT mad!!…”. Her face flits from anger, to despair, to fear.
It settles on despair for a brief moment, like her whole world is being torn apart, “They’re hurting him!!… I need to… … They’re going to kill him… You don’t understand!!…..”.
Then her face settles on anger for a time, and she looks up at the blacksmith’s. She grabs something unseen in mid air, with both hands, and wrenches her arms violently apart like she’s throwing curtains open. All the windows and doors, in the blacksmith’s, that aren’t locked, crash open. You get the feeling that she’s only a few incantations away from being able to tear the whole building apart!
Then her voice seems to boom like thunder, “WHY.. WONT.. YOU.. HELP.. ME?!?!……”, she screams at the building’s facade.
Fear again: “They said I was crazy!… The healers… said it was all in my head….”.
Anger: “Is THIS in my head?!!…”. She stamps her feet and crosses her wrists and a roaring gout of flame erupts from her palms, directly up, fifteen feet into the gloomy sky, lighting up the buildings on either side.
Then she looks back at Maudath, earnestly, perhaps with some.. hope?… “He’s real, and he needs my help!!… … I’ve got to help him!… I need incense… and charcoal… and herbs”.
”I need a brass brazier… … Please help me!!… …”. She runs past Maudath towards the general store.
She looks back over her shoulder, calling back the list, “Incense… charcoal… herbs… … Oh gods don’t let me be too late!!”.
Maudath's face passes through relief, then worry, and confusion. He looks back the way he came, the way towards the Professor's home, wondering if he should go get the others first. But, as Eve runs off down the street he decides she shouldn't be alone."
He gets himself up out of the snow and starts running after Eve.
"Who's killing who?" he calls after Eve. "And how on earth is incense going to save them?"
He dashes to catch up.
"The professor would probably have a brazier lying around. Charcoal too. Doesn't seem the incense type though. Would a good shire pipe tobacco work? I've got plenty. The Professor has his own blend too."
"Don't go anywhere but home or the Professor's until you see me again," Maudath calls to Eve as she goes inside the store.
With that he turns around and sprints as quickly as his large frame allows back to the Professor's. He bursts in and in one long outburst tells everyone about how he found Eve, and her bloody fists, and her going on about somebody killing someone else, and that she needs a brass brazier, charcoal, and incense and that she was heading into an outfitters store.
Once he gets that all out, he throws his hands up and shrugs.
"I don't have a clue what's going on," Maudath says. "But she's pretty keyed up and I don't know how to get her back down unless we play along for now. Do you have a brass brazier, Professor. I got the impression that the brass part was important."
Ryhunis returns with a bucket of cold water(that she obviusly didn't stole from some random place) with even some ice cubes on it and saw Eve's and Maudath's screams. She did a long sigh. Got inside the house, left the bucket outside the house "First blue with her hangover, and now red is already beyond screaming drunk. Yeah let's follow her, what can go wrong?"
Eve...You run into the store in a frenzy, its early morning but there are a few people already in the store shopping. They all turn to look at this red, bloody, and sweating tiefling that just burst in. One person drops what they had and immediately runs for the door screaming. The shopkeeper, a middle aged human male, runs over in a huff "Whats the meaning of this? You need to calm down girl, you're scarin all my customers!"

Maudath looks at Ryhunis for a second, but moves quickly. Was she actually being decent, he wondered to himself?
Once he finds the kitchen and looks at the contraption the Professor has rigged to the kettle, he furrows his brow then lets out a long sigh.
"Okay, that's not going work," Maudath says to himself.
He heads back into the living room and again, seeing Ryhunis comforting Iris stops him in his tracks. What on earth is going on?
"Yeah, so Professor, I don't know what's going on in there," Maudath says, gesturing back to the kitchen.
Seeing Iris looking somewhat normal and awake he allows himself to smile.
"You were taking a nap out in the snow," Maudath says. "Not right that you went out and had a good time and didn't invite me."
Looking around the room he realizes they're missing one.
"Anyone seen Eve?"
"Well while you are doing that, have you made the poison or whatever to sleep that I asked for? I hope it wasn't too much of a big task for someone as strong, powerfull and inteligent as you are. Seriusly it would be quite usefull to have one now" she said still in her semi-silent voice

Maudath sidesteps Rhyunis's attempt to punch him in the face, laughing as she does so and continues up the street to look for Eve.
He rounds a corner on the way to Eve's home and spots her kneeling in front of the blacksmith's, hands pounding on the door.
"Eve," he shouts as he runs over.
He looks around quickly then takes on knee beside her, placing his large hand between her fists and the door to stop her from pounding on it any more.
"What's going on?"
“I was sleeping. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.” Iris glances back to the Professor and gives a half smile. “I’m sorry.” Tugging her cloak tighter around her, she pours a cup of tea and savors the warmth of it between her hands, still curled up on the couch.
