TT moves around slowly and checks out the dishes. She sees pickled partridge with lentils, buckwheat biscuits and bitter Cheese, stewed carrots with apples, roasted onions and mushrooms on wooden sticks and a few different types of porridge. They all smell good but TT's nose is immediately drawn to a tent on the edge of the market. She looks at the sign above the tent. At first it is illegible, but the letters slowly turn into common reading "Pie Contest!".
TT is lead on by her nose into the tent, where she catches a glimpse of Nedrick and some girl. The focus of her vision, however, sets on what seems like an infinite amount of sweet and delicious looking pies. Drool starts to drip from her mouth as she approaches the tables.
As TT enters the tent, a lady approaches her and says "Hello welcome to our pie eating contest, it is all you can eat and the best pie is the one that has the most gone. I am Ioelena and may I offer you some of my pie? You will find it most joyous!"
As TT ponders the question he sees a tall elven man stand up and yell loudly "The contest is almost over, is Ioelena going to win again this time?"
She smiles to TT then looks around the room while waving a hand.
Ioelena lets out a cheer of joy and scurries over and grabs TT a plate of pie. Ioelena then motions for TT to sit down at a table nearby. TT can smell the berries of the pie before she can even take a seat. It smells delicious she can barely contain herself from the smell.
TT noms on the pie and it is so good that she swallows air as she eats. She is so full! She can't eat another bite at the moment. The pie was delicious.... so delicious.... she wants more but she is unable to take another bite until she clears some room.
Nedrick looks on as TT eats Ioelena's pie. She is now ahead by the woman who he is holding hair for by at least two pieces.
Rhaucred has had his head in his new book most of the journey so far and only really looked up once they came upon the festival. Upon seeing the festival he interest is immediately sparked, and he begins talking to the locals attempting to learn the history and reasons of the celebration as well as the different dances, games, food, and drinks that seem to be part of the festival. He takes out a journal and writes furiously trying to record all he can, and even attempts to participate in some of the dances to learn them.
Investigation 12
When he notices TT competing, he goes to cheer her on.
Rhaucred writes furiously and studies the surroundings. Everything is so different. Some of instruments play sounds on their own and when he passes a young female singing to a crowd he notices that she is singing in three parts at the same time! It is a joyous atmosphere. Seeing TT he moves into the tent and watches as she goes down after one round!
Hunding stares menacingly at the festival and mumbles to himself "The death god takes no joy in this festival"

Nedrick watches as the woman in front of him starts to eat more but slowly stops and mutters with a mouthful "I can't..... not again." As she stops eating a moment of silence is almost felt in the tent. The tall thin man shouts again loudly "The competition is over Ioelena's pie wins again!"
The tent erupts in joyous cheering but Nedrick notices the woman in front of him starts to wince in what appears to be pain. She quickly gets up and dashes out of the tent.
Mort while continuing to place dice with patrons near the wine barrels is approached from behind by the man he was chatting with earlier. He comes to Mort and says "I have it! This will give you ever longing joy." Mort is handed what looks like a tiny wine barrel with a cap on it. The man continues "This flask should hold enough for three drinks and will enchant any wine in it with a potent taste of vitality every day!"
Mort receives a Flask of Living Wine. Once a day, this flask enchants the wine in it (up to 3 cups). Any person who partakes of a cup from this flask and is able to taste it, is healed for 1 HP. A drink takes one action in combat. Being unable to consciously taste the wine (eg. being incapacitated, sleeping etc.) will cause the drink to have no effect.
"My fair lady! Please wait! Loelena's may have won a content but I am the true winner today by being graced by your presence. Please allow me to speak with you once more."
Walking out of the tent, feeling full but wanting more, TT suspects that there was something magical about the pie she ate. She takes note of this. Turtle reminds her of their shopping list, so she asks around town if the following reagents are available:
a sprig of mistletoe, several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar, ashes from a burned leaf of mistletoe and a sprig of spruce
TT looks throughout the town and finds those items if she so desires to purchase them. However, she can use her druidic focus that she has in order to cast those spells in substitute of the material components (as long as they are not consumed or require a specific gold amount)
Nedrick comes up and opens his arms inviting her in to his embrace as he slowly steps forward.
"Oh.. My dear! Please do not let tears soil the face of the god of beauty! When you cry it hides your eyes. Those wonderful green eyes that remind this mere mortal of his homeland. Might I know the name of my queen?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nedrick smiles at Fairial.
"Fairial... Ah I would travel the nine hells just to hear that name once more."
Nedrick frowns slightly and then smiles again.
"No my dear... All mortals are not this nice but right not that is not your concern or mine. All I want to know about is you! I want to know who you are when no ones looking!"
Nedrick lowers his head and looks into Fairial's eyes.
"Might there be somewhere more private where I may hear your story better?"
Fairial nods and says "My house is right over there. I was heading there anyway. I have to start baking a new pie. Follow me if you wish. I can talk some while I cook." she behind walking away towards the direction she pointed.
Nedrick approaches a small wooden house with two floors. On entry he sees stairs that lead upstairs to the left and a fireplace with a small chair next to it on the right. At the back of that room is a table with 4 chairs followed by an entrance to another room which appears to be the kitchen.
Fairial move to the back room on this first floor and you hear rustling of pans and dishes from there. You can hear her ask barely over the clanging "I do appreciate your support today. What would you like to know of me?"

She smiles to TT then looks around the room while waving a hand.
"Free pie? Is this real life?" TT ponders to herself, only for a moment before agreeing to the lady's request.
TT nods vigorously.
Ioelena lets out a cheer of joy and scurries over and grabs TT a plate of pie. Ioelena then motions for TT to sit down at a table nearby. TT can smell the berries of the pie before she can even take a seat. It smells delicious she can barely contain herself from the smell.
TT immediately plunges her head into the pie before her, gobbling voraciously into the black hole that is her stomach.
Turtle exits from TT's pocket during the chaos, vacuuming the bits and crumbs left by participants with its mouth.

“You can do it!” Nedrick provides words of encouragement to the lady but does not partake himself.

The woman stops running away, turns around and looks at Nedrick with tears in her eyes. She is waiting for him to speak.
Nedrick comes up and opens his arms inviting her in to his embrace as he slowly steps forward.
