Silence descends over the Pavilion as Landrae's last notes conclude the song. Then the building explodes with deafening applause. The halfling shouts something nobody can hear, the half-orc presents Landrae with the chest, and she is carried out into the street on the shoulders of the cheering crowd. 

"It seems tonight is her night" Duncan will say to the group following the crowd out of the theater, adding "let's join in the fun and, who knows, maybe something interesting will happen". He'll then follow along to see where the crowd leads

Jack, ecstatic that Landrae put on a wonderful show for the crowd follows them along with Duncan “Who would have known she was a masterful player! That was most excellent playing.” Jack is obviously impressed

When Elber dries off and dresses himself, he turns to Kai. "Remind me, be Conwe the goal of your travel, or be it further east?"

((Based on this map https://m.imgur.com/ML5wC6I. The other map https://m.imgur.com/rNf0YsE is too lowres to read, and Thithladroth and surroundings aren't even on it anyway.))

Kai responds, "Yes, it is Conwe were I hope to find the relatives of my former Master.  Or at least some trace of where they may have moved on from there.  If you are ready to go back, we can see what fresh adventure has been discovered."

"Aye, but how much trouble could they have found already?" Elber follows Kai back towards the Pavillion.

Kai raises an eyebrow, "We were in town less than an hour and up against monsters and a crazy alchemist, with a rendezvous  set with a murderer to assault bandits."

Kai chuckles, "Well, we shall not die from boredom, but mishaps from lack of sustenance if you do not hurry."

Elber pouts half-jokingly. "We be well fed if this forest was not so lacking in wildlife. As a hunter, I be concerned, but I can see neither cause nor solution."

Sadly Kai concurs, "It bothers me also.  Only something unnatural comes to mind to rid a forest of all life.  But where to start?  I could go back to the Matron and ask if she has contacts in the wilderness.  Someone must gather herbs and roots for her.  Mayhap there are temples to Mielikki, Eldath or Silvanus from which we may gather some clue.  As a final, we might try to summon Titania or Oberon, though I am reluctant to call upon any fey."

After the audience erupts, Landrae allows herself to let go the breath she had been holding. Struggling to hear the halfling's announcement, but getting the gist as she is handed the small chest, and the audience become a little over-enthusiastic as they hoist her up, still holding the chest. As the mob carry her out, she tries to catch Jack and Duncan's attention, "My instruments! Can you make sure they are safely recovered?!?"

Not entirely sure where she is heading, or who any of these people are, Landrae tries to stay comfortable and keeps an watchful eye out for any wayward hands that may take the opportunity to 'help' hold her up. Though she does try to enjoy the ride and take note of anything she might have missed about the area, being on a higher vantage point now.

"Many a champion be lost to fey charms. Should we start at the temples here, then hope we find a clue on the road to Conwe?"

Elber halts briefly as they get closer to the Pavillion and see the crowd outside. "But first we see what be their cause for celebration."

(Sorry everyone, I've been rather busy the last few days and have had limited opportunities to post. Once I extricate a suitable story from my brain I'll move the adventure along. Thanks for your patience.)

((no rush~ Take your time))

Jack grabs Landrae’s instruments, and continues to follow close behind.

OCC: Thanks for letting us know..

(( No problem JJ, cheers for the heads up - while you put your plans together, would it be worth us all catching up at the Silver Thorn over a few beverages and allow us a little RP as a group again - then maybe you can get a feel for the direction of adventures that we are considering))

(No problem at all. I just thought you might be sick of tavern RP by now.)

(( It at least gives us something to do if we know you are going to take a bit of time to tie the threads together.))

OCC:  Kai being a student of nature gets a cup of tea and rolls a "big fatty" before lighting up :)

Landrae manages to extricate herself from the cheering crowd and rejoin her companions some distance from the Pavilion.
