Meanwhile, in the Westwoods...

(Del gets a message back: "Fiercest and swiftest mothers and fathers run to meet little bitey ones. Old ones can now enjoy quiet for very little while. Ogres thank you!")

((Also: assuming Mindartis's parents were not there since it was never mentioned))

Raven fills everyone in on the second dragon hatchling and makes sure her tressym is situated in her room at the inn. Otherwise she doens't have much she is doing.

She would mention the idea of having a palce int he tapestry set aside for the two hatchlings to keep their treasure horde and would start it off with whatever was her share of what the group gained since we came to the city. (I haven't added in any of that loot so far to her sheet, so not sure what the amount is.)

"I'd be up for a party this evening, once we decide what we want to do next," said Elwin. "I'll use the news that we were the site of Slate City's first Citizen's Convention to advertise the place."

"As far as what to do.... I know that we have a lot going on now. But honestly, I'm almost ready to visit the Shadowfell and take on Satharas Indri'in. I think I just need to get a little stronger, get another spell under my belt first. Then, as strong as everyone else already is, I'd be confident we could take him. Perhaps we can tackle one of our more challenging tasks beforehand to hone our skills?"

He would agree to setting aside a place in the tapestry for the dragons.

Del listens to Elwin's proposal with a little bit of fear I like your confidence Brother Sir Publican, but thinking of Eldest Zanderfell's advice, I fear we might be more than one trip to the honing wheel away from being sharp enough. Aside from that worry, I am not actually sure what our next most challenging task is. Helping our Brother Feylord's people get home seems the most pressing obligation - and one likely to involve some skill-honing challenges as well. 

Del likes Q's suggestion we go to Lomolos - it's more stable and has more resources than Essy as a base to start hitting the planes. Plus romance. The downside is we'd have to travel by water &or overland with that many (how many?) refugees, unless there are enough extra casters to summon owls or other transport for everyone. And we do have these two warehouses and the Chilly Eagle right here to build into a base. But the travel itself could have interesting challenges, and if not it could be slow in-game but fast in-thread

oh, sudden thought, speaking of needing new info - has Raven handled her business with Tagrec yet? Maybe he has gouge that leads to another option. Though it'd have to be good to bump the Feywild Repatriation Operation in Del's mind

“If the school has a teleportation circle......or even the castle I can get us all to Lomalos very quickly.” Quentin says with a smile trying to ease some of Del’s concerns 

Forgot that teleportation circle is limited only by how many can get through in a round - handier than I remembered. Which makes Del wonder - what circles does Q know? and, does the Abbey have one he can learn? I do remember Q studying the one at Raven's captured hagpalace back whenever (good foresight) And we know big Z deliberately does not have one.

So Del agrees teleportation would be awesome in this case, we don't really need random encounters on the way; I am sure we can dig up enough deliberate trouble to hone skills

Raven has not done the delivery of the magic item to the goblin yet. She was waiting for the group to be ready as a whole, as she figured others might have questions for the goblin.

Not sure I have anything specific to ask, but we can probably get there between leaving the warehouse and end of the day. The pirate-Red Sails connection all sorta fell apart in the revolution, so the info Del thought he needed was made moot. Maybe if Tagrec knows something of the dragon-scale trade? Maybe there is another operation similar to the Red Sails warehouse for shipping victims to the Crystal Maze construction site? Or I guess we never found Akwot, not sure if he matters anymore? Or just in general, what we can attack next?

Del likes going to Tagrec's to hear the info and because it's funny, so he would join if the time worked out

(Maybe you guys should make an organized list of all the things you want to accomplish before leaving.  For example, don't forget Raven actually planned to meet her brother to pick up Sparky, and you were going to bring him information, and you have a sea hag in your dungeon who, as far as I know, has been tied up without food and water for about two days now.)

(I don’t think I’ve seen another circle so I only know the one, though the spell says you start off knowing two if there’s one I’m missing or a wizard slipped me the one to the school) 

Raven's todos... Get the hatchling, see the goblin. Does she actually have the information her brother wants?

Having grown up on the abbey more or less, Del knows that there is a teleport circle there.

Prince Kalrondo and Lemmet join you at brreakfast. Afterward, Kalrondo says, "Well, it's been lovely, and thank you for your hospitality, and all your heroic deeds, and for finding Lemmet.  I suppose I should be off soon...can't leave Captain Kibble herding the recruits all alone. We'll stick around the area a few days, to give a little time to anyone who wants to join up."

(Some more DM rolls. 6 4  17  14 )

"Prince Kalrondo I have a question for you, I can now travel anywhere by teleportation circle. Would you happen to know any useful ones or know where I can find them?" Quentin asks him over breakfast. 

"Hmmm," says the Prince. "I believe there's one at the Thamasaille, and the Aldalires have one, and there's one in Yonpinagel, and at least ten in Ellantar. I think there may even be one in the Upper City here. Several of the courts in Kalaine, too, though I'd probably have to think hard to remember which ones. Other people usually handle my travel arrangements for me."

"And you don't happen to remember what they look like do you?" Quentin asks with a smile 

"Well I need to get this package to Tagec, then meet my brother to give him the letter as well as get Sparky." Raven informs the group while they are together for breakfast. "Anyone want to accompany me in doing so?" She glances to Ethen. "You can do as you wish this morning. If you have supplies to purchase, errands to run, or just want to relax a bit, now is the time to do it. I am guessing we'll be busy again before long."

Ethan nods to Raven. "I was planning on helping out here at the inn a bit, but might look around the reopening shops after that."

Kalrondo thinks hard. "You know, Captain Kibble might be able to help with that, or you could contact someone at the academy, those scholars probably have someone on staff with every teleportation circle in Talaveroth memorized. We don't have one in the actual castle. Father says half the reason for making a journey is the journey itself, and that they're a huge security risk besides."

The prince sends for Captain Kibble, and soon a familiar odor fills the bar as Zanzibar the skunk happily toddles in for a reunion, followed by the gnome ranger. (Who, by the way, gives Quentin the sigil sequence for the Thamasaille's teleport circle.)

Del would like to accompany Raven to see Tagrec, it is always good for a laugh and sometimes for info. As they go Del says I agree with you, Sister, that the tapestry could hold your scaly charges - the cistern isn't used for anything else - and it seems none of our people object. Put some extra treasure for them to play with and get some clean water from Sir Elwin's endless flask.

Del will help do this setup after Targec's, using Unseen Servant is we need any extra hands. Del will send for Mr Fiskins to bring our animals and meet the dragons. Maybe he's gonna need an assistant? 

Del is willing if asked to go see Thami, or if there is nothing else anyone needs help with.
