Duwamilly is so proud of Delvindra's change (from ruthless sacrificer of people to generous giver of life-saving magical objects) that she doesn't want to inflict further puns or jokes on her 😉... ready for the time skip, as far as she is concerned.
(Yasmina and her player are both fine with the time skip but Yasmina's player would like a summary of what happens during the time skip for immersion purposes :-) Don't know if the dragonborn cousins were ready to follow some weird strangers they happened to run into though? ;-) (And is Milly sure the tiefling didn't just want to trick the cultist to run off in order to have her savagely killed by that infernal hound? ;-)
In case the Dragonborn we have just met are still a little wary, Duwamilly smiles and urges them: "Don't be afraid, kids, come with us! If you too have problems with some annoying curse, you will see that by joining forces we will solve them! We have received precious information... Plus, you are probably more in danger than you think. I'll explain to you later, if you want!" she winks "Maybe we will solve our problems, plus we will also have a lot of fun!"
Hey, I’m moon, i‘m aged between 3 and 300. Pronouns are She/They/It/It’s/Them/Her. I love D&D. I am chaotic neutral irl. I’m not afraid to punch someone. Mess with me and you’ll find out the hard way. extended sig

With the magic of Lord Amir, you all feel yourselves become weightless, like you are both part of and not part of the world. After taking a moment to get your bearings, Sir Charles points you in the direction of his home. You race through the dark woods with otherworldly speed, soaring above the trees. Within less a few minutes, your long journey comes to an end in front of the gentleman's mansion:
An middle-aged tiefling answers the door as you arrive, and smiles brightly as he sees the master of the house.
"Master, we were beginning to worry about you! Please, come in and sit by the fire; the servants will tend to your needs..."
Then he sees that his master has brought several guests, and he raises an eyebrow good-naturedly.
"And you have brought friends as well?"
"Yes Herbert, these fine people saved my life after I was brutally attacked on the road... they will be our guests of honor for the next day or two while I find a worthy vessel to take them to the Shaded Isle," Sir Charles tells the servant with a smile, then addresses the party. "My friends, welcome to my humble abode! Please, make yourselves at home. And if there is anything you need, anything at all, please, don't hesitate to ask it!"
The great djinni, meanwhile, delivers the the cultist and the carriage to the temple of Ilmater... presumably giving a long-winded explanation to the very surprised priests about who he, the great Lord Amir, is, who the cultist is (which I assume Yasmina filled him in on), and why he is delivering a death cultist and a carriage to this temple after dark.
After that, Amir joins you at the mansion until his hour-long summon time runs out.

As the tiefling greets us at the door, Godrick is in his invisible state.
"Psssst. Wyvern. Can I? Can I do the thing now!?! You said I could do it next time, and it's next time now."
“Godrick.” She hisses. Then remembers what she said. “Fine, just this once though.”she still looks very annoyed.

With the permission he has been desperately wanting, Godrick walks up behind the Tiefling... and taps him on the back of the shoulder, as to cause him to look over his shoulder, and yet see no one there.
Delvindra was overwhelmed by the opulence of the temple, but she is truly overcome by Sir Charles' home.
"Do people really live like this,"she whispers to Yasmina and Cal.
At the sight of Herbert, Delvindra stops short. She knows, of course, that other Tieflings exist but this is the closest she's ever been to one. She bows her head shyly but surreptitiously casts fascinated and curious glances in his direction.
Duwamilly had already experienced a few times, on the Astral Plane, the sensation of moving without weight - but she giggles with amusement as she repeats the experience here, on the Prime Material Plane.
"Many thanks, Lord Amir" the gnome cleric performs a courteous bow, before the Djinn leaves for his delivery assignment. "A practical and fun trip! Much appreciated! If one day you wish to come, I can offer you, in return, a trip along the Path of the Blessed which goes up the most picturesque stretch of Mount Celestia... In case, just let me know".
After which, the ex-Preceptor fully realizes the opulence of the nobleman's home: 'Truly beautiful... Luxurious and tasteful... It is as beautiful as Mr. Scrooge's house could have been... if only he had been more concerned with living rather than surviving... He always was squandering his money and his feelings, instead of making full use of both. Perhaps it was also the thought of the fate that awaited him in the Cube' she shivers for a brief moment 'that made him behave like this?'
When she is authorized to ask for what she needs, Duwamilly has some particular mechanical materials supplied (OOC: 10 gp worth of materials - because she has already used the last ones she had at the temple of Ilmater - she can also obtain them for multiple uses, if she wants ? And how many uses - without intending to ruin Charlie, of course?) and at night, in her room, she, after the usual prayers to Garl Glittergold to thank him for another day of fun, gets to work...

(OOC: I wouldn't worry too much about Sir Charles running out of cash lol. That being said, 5 sets of whatever materials Milly wants sounds reasonable for what might be available at the mansion).

(OOC: Great! During the night Duwamilly will use 1 set to prepare a thank you Music Box for Charlie and I will note the other 4 sets in the character sheet for future uses during the campaign... So, if Lord Akkron, instead of sucking life and soul out of us like any self-respecting lich should do, decides to help us, at least she will be able to make a thank you Music Box - or other toy - for him too)
The djinni lord raises an eyebrow as the gnome ex-preceptor politely and gracefully thanks him and offers him to visit the celestial realms. "That is gracious of you tiny one but I already travel the planes freely. Still, it was a long time since I did journey there, while my time away from my imprisonment is quite limited I might just travel there one of these nights."He says with a polite smile and a more gentle voice now, seeming in a better mood, and while quite proud and pompous you get the impression he is also somewhat vain and quite easy to flatter.
Having wind walked many times before, Yasmina is happy to explain to the others how to effortlessly use their wispy cloud form to literary travel like the wind through the rainy night and to Sir Charles' opulent mansion where she transforms back to her true form. "The filthy rich do."The red-haired half-elf whispers back to the tiefling. While their host seemed like an honourable man at least, the half-elf had no doubt nobles were the same here as in her homeland, living of the poor and destitute in one way or another. No one deserved this opulence while there were people still starving. She hoped to still be a pleasant guest though, that is how she had always survived after all. Yasmina would step inside and ask for the fascilites for a hot bath after being out in the cold rain for quite some time now.
A bit later Lord Amir does indeed arrive at the mansion, and seeming in a better mood than earlier he offers to conjure up an oriental feast with exquisite southern wine for all to enjoy. Assuming she is given the opportunity to freshen up, Yasmina too is in notably better mood and would be ready to finally get to know her travelling companions a bit better as she hardly knew anything about them yet, particularly the two gold dragonborn cousins.
When Yasmina mentions a hot bath, Delvindra looks at her own filthy and threadbare robes.
"Yes, a bath would be nice, if I could please. It won't be any trouble. A can just use Yasmina's water when she's done. I'd mostly just like to clean my clothes." She mumbles to Herbert with downcast eyes.
The tiefling servant nearly jumps out of his skin as an invisible force taps him on the shoulder! But once he's recovered (and the dragonborn has likely laughed heartily at his expense), he shows all of you inside, where you are free to relax, eat, drink, etc.
After your massive meal, courtesy of Amir (and much to both the surprise and delight of the servants who otherwise would have had to figure out how to feed the lot of you), you are shown to a number of luxurious bedrooms. You may take a well-earned Long Rest, and those who have enough experience may advance to level 2 (which, by the way, is all of you, with the exception of the two dragonborns who are already level 2)
In the morning, Sir Charles calls you downstairs.
"Ladies, gentlemen," he says with a tired smile. "I wanted to let you know that I have sent messengers to every captain I could think of who might be willing to take you to the Shaded Isle... we should have answers by mid-afternoon today, and if all goes well then by tomorrow morning you will be able to set sail."
What will all of you do with your day of downtime? And what will be done with the magic items that Yasmina found in the bandit camp?

Yeah, she's complicated like that.

I am ready to time skip too.

Wyvern still looks a little hesitant, but she nods. “I shall come with you then. I know it’s a risk, but a risk I must take”
