Tylaerys leans back wrapped in her furs enjoying the good mood in the congregation. "We should be wary of the kobolds though, they can be quite crafty and will probably try to set an ambush somewhere on our way to Bryn Shander. Let´s hope Poly will find them before they find us." She says smiling at Almarath. She then goes on savoring the stew and looks over at Kane hoping he would come and join her.
Kane is quite confused with the whole conversation with the ice shark and just remains mute. He understands what the ice shark says thanks to Tylaerys explaining to him. He joins the rest of the camp and sits next to Tylaerys eating stew.
As Quip finishes her song Tylaerys claps her hands. "Bravo, please, some more, perhaps you can do another duet?" She says looking at Quip and Allyn.
Whether or not the music continues she then turns to Kane beside her. "You´re unusually quiet Kane, a copper for your thoughts." Tylaerys says giving the tiefling a light nudge.
Kane seems distracted by something but then comes back when Tylaerys nudges him. “Huh? Oh, I’m sorry. I guess I’m still in shock from the ice shark. It was…not what I was expecting. I’m just glad it didn’t attack anyone.“
"I couldn´t agree more my dear." Tylaerys says leaning slightly on the tiefling. "This is rather cosy actually. How are you doing with the cold now Kane, need me to warm you some more, I...I mean magically..." Her voice trails off, turning away her face so that he won´t see her blushing.
Polly's sweep of the mountain path leading into Icewind Dale reveals nothing. But even for him, the fierce wind and unusually low light make it difficult to pierce the gloom. Confident that nothing moves along the path at ths hour it turns back.
After drawing shifts for guard duty you all try to get some rest. You know at this part of the trek is coming to an end and there is a energy that spawns from returning to civilization.
The shadowy morning has you all getting ready to enter the Dale.
Once more Polly takes to the skyes ad you are all very aware of the danger the kobolds pose.
Aster gets up after a night spent pondering over various scattered thoughts, fumbling with their leg supports again for a moment before settling on a pace with the rest of the group
"Had any more visions?" They ask, holding their hood up against the wind.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Oh, morning already." Tylaerys says waking up beside Kane "I have slept really well, perhaps you kept my nightmares away." She says to Kane smiling warmly. She then readies herself for the next stretch of the trip and finds a place in one of the sleds.
"No new visions for me this night Aster."Tylaerys says while keeping an eye out for the kobolds. "I don´t think we´ve had our last one yet though. The objectives of our quest is still a tad bit unclear to me."
Perception if needed: 14
(OOC: Since we´re down to six now we all can go in the sleds right :-)
"Absolutely" Aster frowns, their voice carrying telepathically as the wind and sleds drown out most of the sound they make "Not going to lie, for as much as I am... Not enjoying the lack of communication I appreciate a good mystery."
They settle in the back of the sled "Why are you so loyal to Mystra anyways, if you don't mind me asking? She has something I want, but you don't seem to do this for a reward"
"I realize not everyone would see it the way I do Aster, but I consider it an honour to serve her and my holy quest has given my life a new grand purpose. I think perhaps you will eventually see that her fight against Auril the Frostmaiden and Shar is a righteous one and that the servitude is its own reward. What is it Mystra has that you want if it´s not too personal a question?." Tylaerys asks the reborn.
"Righteousness doesn't mean much to a corpse. I am not judging, just..." They shrug, raising an eyebrow "...Struggling to understand"
They look at the landscape, squinting at the little light "She promised me she'll tell me who I... This-" They gesture to their body "Who this was, what happened to them, before I came along."
"I´m afraid I don´t follow Aster, are you saying you don´t have any recollection of your previous life? If that´s the case I can see you have something important to strive for."
"Some memories... Fractures, thoughts. I know the one that came before me was as devoted to Mystra as you are" Aster purses their lips, leaning against the packs on the sled "But I don't feel like... Her. I'm Aster. Those memories aren't mine"
"I can see this troubles you Aster, I hope you will find peace with this when Mystra has given you your complete memories back." Tylaerys says giving the reborn a sympathetic smile.
Quip looks intrigued by the conversation and moves up to aster "Therapy?" She says with a look that up says „I've got a little training in this if you want a confidential conversation about how you feel and the frustrations you face„
"Therapy?" Aster lets out a scoff-laugh, taken off guard by the dragonborn, and shakes their head "No- I mean- It isn't really a struggle, more like... This body isn't mine, I am not the person who was here before and I want to know why. What happened to her- to me."

Before going to sleep:
Kane wraps an arm around Tylaerys, saying “This is warming me up just fine…” He pulls her closer to him and wraps a blanket around them.
Morning:
Kane wakes up, having drifted to sleep leaning against Tylaerys. “Wake up…it’s time to move.“
Quip is shivering, but smiling as they crest into the Dale

"Understandable" she stands stoic looking into the Dale "Here to help" she chances a glance back at Aster "if you need"
