You find Priestess Valetta in the main hall supervising some others as they rotate some of the exhibits they have on display. She motions for you to wait until they finish moving some things around then approaches you. "I trust you had a good visit with Nim? Was there something else we could do for you?"

Phaedra smiles, "Actually, funny that you ask. It seems that our mutual friend is more bound up in this mess than we thought at first. Not that he has done anything else... he has been very good.

I was hoping to be able to take him for a walk. Our quest is barred by a door to from what we understand, needs Nim to help open it."

OCC: Persuasion check if needed 22

"A door that Nim needs to open?" The priestess asks, seemingly about to argue. Then she takes a deep breath and just shakes her head. "You know what, fine. Try to keep him safe and ensure he comes back here when you're done. If it goes well perhaps we can see about letting him get out more. Are you taking him today?"

"It depends... we are also looking for a painted windmill. I am not from Waterdeep, do you know any windmill that would fit that description?"

Priestess Valetta taps her lips in thought for a moment, "No, I don't know of a painted windmill. Sorry"

" Um....I could probably ask my Mum. I mean she's a painter....so if another artist worked on the windmill decoration she might know them."

"I think at this point any help would be good help... remember others are looking for us and we can't even stay together at the moment. Plus we need to find Elon."

Phaedra turns back to Priestess Valetta.

"I think we will come back."

 Priestess Valetta waves as the group leaves to head to see Sel's mom. It doesn't take long for the party to make it to Sel's parents home.

OOC: @Damian_May - what are Sel's parents' names?

OOC: @Damian_May - what are Sel's parents' names?

( Chelyssa Liol, half-elf painter and gardner and Bradbury Cumblebrace, halfling brewer, carpenter, jack-of-all-trades.)

OOC: Damian_May, I'm just making up Sel's parents' personalities as I go. Feel free to tell me if you don't like it.

The party is welcomed into the home by Selinae's father who, after waving everyone in, turns and hollers toward the back of the home. "Chelyssa! Our daughter has come to visit and she's brought friends!"

A few moments later Chelyssa rushes in and hugs Sel. Then goes around hugging anyone in the party who will let her. "It's so nice to see you again honey!" Chelyssa says to Selinae before looking to the rest, "Friends of my daughter are always welcome! Feel free to sit where you can." Looking back at Bradbury, "Honey can you get some refreshments for our guests?"

Sel's father just nods his head and leaves the room, ostensibly to get said refreshments.

Sel hurries after her Dad to assist him, confident that her Mum can fend for herself amongst the group.

Kestrell shakes their hands, "Pleased to meet you, Shelly and ...Brad was it?  You must sure be proud of your daughter!  She has saved our bacon on more than one occasion!  And she knows where all of the good bakeries in town are!"

After Selinae and her dad go leave the room, Kestrell looks at her mother.  "So...tell us more about these refreshments!  Any pies?  Cookies?" 

 Chelyssa just shakes her head. "You must be Kestrell. My daughter has told me about you. Always thinking with your stomach, just like my husband. I don't have any pies or cookies made if you all are staying we can certainly put together a nice lunch."

"Ohh i am sure she has mentioned plenty about Kestrell, there is a lot to say after all" she says with a smirk.

"I am Phaedra Starcaller, Priestess of Her Holy Mystra, Mother of All Magic. It is indeed a pleasure to finally meet you both."

Silver just waves taking a seat "Pleasure to meet you all, I'm Silver."

"Nice to meet you all" Chelyssa says. "I believe some of your group is missing, no? Selinae had mentioned a quiet mage. Is he not with you?"

" So hows things, Da? Staying out of trouble?"

" There hasn't been any odd sorts hanging about the place? We might have attracted the wrong sort of attention."

"Well", Bradbury says, "About as much as usual. Your mom always finds something to fuss at me about." he says with a grin.

When Sel asks her second question he pauses, "No, I haven't seen anyone new hanging around. Are you okay? Is there anyone my friends and I need to pay a visit to?"

 " Good, good."

Her face grew serious, " I'm..........I'm.........."

She burst into tears and snatched her dimuitive father up into her arms, huge tears soaking his tiny balding head.

" Promise! You have to promise not to tell Mum!"

She slumped back against the kitchen cabinet and placed her Dad back down, " I died, Dad.   Like proper dead....and those folks out there brought me back.  So I owe them to see this out but I don't want you two getting mixed up in this......mess...."

" Drow.....Beholders.....its a little bit much honestly.....but if we don't fix it everyone here might be in trouble."

She got down on one knee and declined her head to look him in the eye, " You ok, Dad? Sorry to kind of throw that on you........it was really scary........but I didn't want you two to worry about me....but....", she just gave a sad smile and began tearing up again...

 Kestrell looks around, surprised, and then shrugs.  "Huh.  Where is Elon?  Maybe he is invisible?  He might be checking on a magic box for our tavern to keep the ice cream cold.  So...Serinade has told us a lot about you, but she hasn't mentioned your occupation, what do you do for work?"

Kestrell will start peppering her with questions until Selinae comes back:

- What was Serinade like as a kid?
- What's her favorite desert?
- How do you like the neighborhood?
- Best place to go for a walk nearby?
- Ever heard of a Cobbler called Whites?
- Tea or coffee gal?
- Pie or Cake?
