Inside one of the satchels are three soul coins and a total of 300gp!

This area has been cleared. You may now return to Base and long rest, or short rest here, or explore another location.

Corrin is happy with the finds and splits the coin evenly between the group (except Misha) then gives the soul coins to her mom to hang onto.

”Let’s head back now, yeah?”

When they're back at base, Jill seeks out Amelia and if she's busy drawing with Corrin, she'll politely request that she borrow Amelia for just a moment (and compliment her on her drawings!)

"I have a request, Madame Hiriart. After this, should we survive, would it be okay if I were to travel with the two of you? It is just that I have no home of my own, as you know, and it seems like the two of you have taken to traveling, so why not travel together? I have grown rather fond of the two of you, and Corrin has taken a liking to me, and I hope that I am not being disrespectful here, but I believe that you have too. If you would not like to have me around, that is fine too. I am rather accustomed to being on my own."

Misha spends time catching up with the other Acheronian soldiers. She has a homesick look on her face, but gestures to the main group, clearly beaming with pride and recalling tales of honor, and glory. She is near tears, at one moment, to receive a loving message from Kali back home. After the conversation and the message, she peels out of her armor and sits next to Corrin, watching her color and enjoying how happy and content she appears to be.

Allynna is silent on the way back to base, and whenever Amelia next enters her room, she finds a note on her bed.

Amelia,

I've decided it's time for me to depart. It's nothing you or the others have done...not even Misha, if I'm being honest. I have some things to take care at home, some people to confront, but more importantly, I have a pit fiend knocking around my necklace, and I know that sooner or later he'll find a way to poke into my mind again. I plan to look into that, see what I can do to get this part of his essence destroyed, and...well, like I said, I have some things to take care of at home. I wish you all the best of luck.

-Allynna

P.S. I don't care what you tell Misha about me leaving. If it makes her feel better to think I was a cowardly weakling after all, that's fine.

P.P.S. Don't get killed.

As you all hung out at home base previously, you might have noticed a short green figure in the corner of you vision every once in a while. However, Nik Nak was never one for sticking around twiddling her thumbs, so she was likely gone before you could get a better look. However, as Nok Nok and Seph returned from War Command, they hear a shriek of astonishment. "Nok Nok? Nok, that you?" A goblin in a blue dress with a red cape over leather armor streaks over to the pair, eyes wide with surprise. A holy symbol of Mystra hangs around her neck, and tattoos of various designs cover her arms, which she promptly throws around Nok Nok. "It's Nik Nak! Your sis! Nok, whatcha doing here?"

Nok Nok looks up with a start, surprise on his face slowly turning to confusion and then absolute terror. "This truly is Hell," he mutters quietly to himself before gently freeing himself from the hug. "Nik Nak, what the Nine Hells are you doing here?" As if suddenly realizing something, he spins around looking about frantically. "It's just you, right?" he gasps. "The rest of them didn't come, right? Right!?!" 

A few moments pass, allowing himself to calm down and regain his composure, he finally returns the hug. "Well, if it had to be someone, at least it's you," he smiles. "You're less a pest than those other two..."

When back at the base, Corrin automatically plops herself on the ground and begins the intense coloring session she’s been waiting for. Amelia is standing nearby with her arms crossed in front of her chest, her leathers removed to give her body some time to breathe, watching her daughter happily color away. Seeing that Misha was nearby when Jill asked to talk, the mother obliged.

Amelia only chuckles in response and pats Jill on the head. “No disrespect at all, kiddo. You’re always welcome to travel with the two of us. I know that ‘going solo’ thing well, it’s not fun, gets lonely, even if you don’t wanna admit it. Kinda how I met Cory’s dad.” Amelia drops her hand and looks over lovingly to her daughter who had been now showing Misha her coloring book. “She’s growing up so fast... I wonder if she would be this independent if we had stayed...” Her face goes solemn before smiling back to Jill. “Anyways, you’re right. Corrin sees you as a big sister, and I can see you as one of my kids. Perfect, ain’t it?” She barks out a laugh.

Later in the night when Amelia finishes reading the letter Allynna had left behind, the blonde folds the letter carefully and slips it in her pack with a frown. “I hope you sort everything out, Ally.” She says to herself, pretending that her words would reach the noble girls ears. “You’re a lot stronger than you think. It was an honor fighting along side you when it lasted. Please take care.”

Nik Nak grins, mildly maniacally. "It's just me! The other two are busy doing...stuff, I dunno, I didn't really pay attention." She bounces up and down a bit. "You didn't answer my question, though! Whatcha doing down here, Nokky? And who's this?" She waves up at Seph. "I'm Nik Nak, Nok Nok's sister, it's nice to meetcha, miss!"

Nik Nak:

Nok grumbles, looking back at Seph. "Um, we're saving the world and stuff...I dunno...What are you doing here? Make a bad deal with a devil?"

Jill has a big smile and a few tears when Amelia accepts her request. She hugs Amelia tightly and then rushes over to Corrin to share the good news with her and give her a hug as well.

Returning from War Command, Persephone and Nok Nok (10 Glory points for each of us, CrispyDM?) are both deep in animated discussions about battle strategy, when Persephone does a double-double take as Nik Nak approaches Nok Nok, shrieking with delight. “What the heck?!” is all she manages to get out before being drowned out with the snorts and squeals of the mini family reunion. 

Nik Nak snorts derisively. "As if. Nah, I heard about the whole Avernus problem thingy, with Elturel, and it sounded like a really big arcane thing! And, well..." She points at the holy symbol of Mystra on her chest. "That's kinda my specialty now! So I came to see if I could help, y'know! Need any help saving the world?"

Misha looked at the coloring book as Corrin showed her, and Misha made a face like it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. She gave Corrin a loving hug, pressing her cheek upon her head, and even pointed out some of the things she liked best about her coloring - and it was alot. She looked up at Jill as she leaned down to give Corrin a hug and heard the good news. She let them share a personal moment, and the Acheronian remained quiet. When they were done, Misha winked at Jill, as if nothing had to be said. Truth was, nothing had to be said. The wink and her soft smile said everything needed to.

Seph and Nok receive 10 Glory.

Jill leaves a note on the Devil's Ride.

I am headed to Acheron to win some Glory. Feel free to take this along on whatever journey the rest of you decide to go on. I have left behind Soul Coins to power it, put them in the coin slot.

P.S. If there is a single scratch on this bike, I will kill you.

The day of traveling out once more...

Noone sees Yoska on the "night" or "wee morning hours" they return. But come the next day, a man that at least looked like him can be seen hanging about the tormentor, and looking at some strange clockwork device. "I see its gonna be a skeleton crew." He says dryly, looking up and lowering the shades beneath his eyes for a brief moment. It takes a moment, but past the slicked back shocking blue hair, black robes bereft of the usual grime, frame-less shades, and flat expression, yep, that was Yoska.

In his otherhand is some neatly folded up note, though he tucks it away promptly during the turn to hop into the devil rider instead. "Let's not waste too much time, shall we? Given whose coming, stay behind me or my friends, and all will probably be well. Don't, then at least make yourself useful as a decoy." 

(@Crispy: Deduct 75gp already to purchase a common item.)

AVERNUS, DAY THREE
AWAY TEAM: GORF, NOK NOK, TIC TAC, YOSKA, SEPH

Note: Make sure you long rest.

Note: Since it's a new day, you'll have to make those DC10 WIS saves or turn to Lawful Evil.

HARUMAN'S HILL

"Behold! Zariel’s dog crucified those who betrayed his mistress in battle!" - The Cartographer

Wrought iron trees line a trail that leads to the summit of a steep hill. Anguished knights are impaled on the trees’ metal branches, their bodies writhing in torment as bloated stirges feast on their blood. The stirges do not attack you as you approach, but near the summit of the hill, an undead looking elven male warrior is impaled through a few branches. He is still alive. "Please.." he pleads, "Strangers..cut me down. I implore you.."

Nok Nok, "Who's There?" …. Evil! 

WIS: 20

Persephone’s DC10 WIS ST: 6

Persephone snarls in anger at the impaled elf. “Get your own self down from there, warrior.”

In accordance with her new lawful evil personality, “what’s in it for me, helping you down from there?”

Meep does some quick shopping (uncommon item) before following along after the others, taking some time to focus her energy on her new wand.

Wis save: 4

NOW: 

Meep eyes the knight quietly before whispering. "Am I the only one who finds this a little sketchy?" 

"Please," The elven warrior implores. "I have been impaled on this tree for ages, far longer than I can remember. I beg you. Free me of this torment, the suffering. He will be returning soon. You must help me. I beg you."

As he speaks, stirges filled with blood poke into his exposed flesh, injecting blood into him and keep him alive.
