Umbriel reads the note, and thinks for a moment. "I'd like to pay the wizard anyway, for both agreeing to teleport us for a quarter of the normal rate, and because it may be to our advantage to make as many friends as we can." He looks around, sees a server, and asks for a glass of tawny port. "I'm set for dessert, thank you. Shall we stay the night and then see Delsephine in the morning?"
"I agree Umbriel, ill take the rest of the bottle of that port dear bar keep, then lets wait for the wizard, pay the man his fee and head out to find Delsephine. In the mean time, I'm going to have a few good drink, sing a few songs and than hit that bubble bath and have a good long soak. I does not matter if the weather is hot or its freezing, you always need a good bath to wash away the adventuring life. At least for the night."

Baeshra shakes his head, "We found our original ride, no need for a teleportation anymore. But maybe there's something else you can help us with? Could you provide us with a scroll of teleportation instead? She says she would be happy to pay extra," pointing to Lyngheid.
Lyngheid grinned at Baeshra, " Well, with 15 gold left in my purse you'll need to ask the keeper of the group fund not me."
Lyngheid had spent much of the evening soaking in her bath and thinking about her life and what she should be doing with it and reprimanding herself for her own conduct and lack of understanding of others............it was her job after all. When she finally hauled herself out and towelled herself off she looked in the mirror and nodded before retiring for bed.
Now downstairs she had to act on that decision........
She looked across at Nyx then approached her, " I'm sorry for being selfish, we've a lot going on and Lady knows none of us need any extra stress at the moment. I'm going to step back and keep myself to myself, I hope I haven't made you uncomfortable and that we can still be friends as we are."
" Either way, I will always have your.......and everyone elses back."
" Thankyou.", she smiled and went over to ask Droop about his room.
Nyx spends the night frolicking around the inn, causing a ruckus before relaxing in her bath and scrubbing off the smell of adventure.
In the morning she groggily crawls down to the inn's tables for breakfast. When Lyngheid walks over she pulls her head off the table and gives her a surprised looked after her comments.
"Selfish? I mean, I am selfish. I really am... i... I am... i sponge off people, take advantage... hell this little band of misfits has brought out the best in me. All of you... especially you. Ohh Lyngheid... I am just a thief. A sassy but definitely selfish one. But you selfish? You are the most kind hearted person I know. You look out for everyone, make sure they are doing the best they can, pay for people when you should not, never say a bad word, always look after the innocent... I bet you have never even stolen a copper."
"I..."Nyx starts to tear up "I am sorry that I made you feel that way. You have nothing to apologizes for" She grab the little dwarf, squishing her as she gives her a big kiss. "Never question your good. It is the only light against the dark, the only spark of joy and love."

So as Stefan joins us, Umbriel, still grinning from the exchange between Nyx and Lyngheid, turns to him and says "Good morning, my friend. Indeed, as my stalwart companion Baeshra has said, we no longer have need of immediate teleportation services, but would love to procure a scroll for emergencies. We are prepared to pay a reasonable price, in addition to compensating you for your time this morning."
Stefan raises an eyebrow. "Is that so? Well, no harm done, and good for you."
"You don't mind if I have a bite to eat while I'm here do you?" He reaches into a pouch and pulls out some honeycomb, and a little twig, then mutters to himself before continuing.
"The scrolls at the Hosttower are kept locked up tight, and always under guard, so I won't be able to help you with that. In fact, I suggest you folks finish up your meal here, and head on out of town, and you don't really need to remember me or this conversation, you'll probably forget about it after I leave."
Everyone make a DC18 Wisdom save. Those who fail suddenly feel an urge to get back to the airship, and you aren't quite sure why you were waiting here at the inn.
"Ohh Stef... Sven... Simon...." she gives him a confused look "ohh you wizard you. Damn I feed so tingly..." she says as she looks over at Lyngheid "Is this what being good feels like? Its better than bad but not as good as taking a diamond or you know what.."she lets out a laugh and gives Stefan a slap on the back.
Continuing to look Stefan in the eyes, "I was so keen to continue last nights fun but we really must go... just don't have time for more revelry. Wow I feel like a changed woman, how can I not feel like revelry? It's in my blood. I don't even want to finish my ale.... ahh scratch that. I really do" she stands up and skulls the remainder of her drink before plonking the mug down on the table.
"So, everyone good to go? Time is a wasting and we have justice to meet out. I have always wanted to say that you know...." she gives a shake of her head as she looks around the room.

Lyngheid sparkled at Nyx, " Yes, lets get to the ship."
If any of us succeed, do we know he tried something?
Looks like Umbriel is the only one who succeeded. Umbriel, make an Insight check against a Deception of 25 to see if you know that Stefan tried something magical.
Umbriel is slightly confused by everyone getting up to leave so suddenly, but shrugs and makes a small bow to Stefan. "It was a pleasure, sir. I hope to see you again the next time we're in town. Perhaps we'll have more time to discuss scrolls and maybe even an honorary membership to your order. Fare well."
He then pays any outstanding tab and follows his friends out the door.

Droop looks up from a pile of chicken bones, nods happily and exclaims "Thank you, and cake!"
The meal is finished, and room keys are delivered with the check, 15 gold for the rooms and 5 gold for the meals.
Unless anyone has anything else to do, the night passes and a Long Rest is had.
Breakfast is included with the room price, and during breakfast Stefan enters the dining room and pulls up a chair.
"Alright then, who's ready for a trip to Yartar. Well, near Yartar anyway?"
Baeshra shakes his head, "We found our original ride, no need for a teleportation anymore. But maybe there's something else you can help us with? Could you provide us with a scroll of teleportation instead? She says she would be happy to pay extra," pointing to Lyngheid.

Lyngheid is literally struck dumb in shock and...not a little delight....she returns the hug..and kiss.
" No...not a copper....thats me.", she stumbles out.
She seats herself back down with a thud and breaths out long and slow....ending in a tiny giggle....
Then she suddenly realises everyone else is present and quickly adopts a shade somewhat similar to an eggplant....
She meets Nyxs eyes and smiles wistfully, " Thankyou."
She spends the rest of the day in a kind of dreamy daze of sorts for the most part.
So as Stefan joins us, Umbriel, still grinning from the exchange between Nyx and Lyngheid, turns to him and says "Good morning, my friend.

Baeshra wis save: 9
If any of us succeed, do we know he tried something?
Wis Save- 26
Lyngheid sparkled at Nyx, " Yes, lets get to the ship."
Yes, at advantage.
Looks like Umbriel is the only one who succeeded. Umbriel, make an Insight check against a Deception of 25 to see if you know that Stefan tried something magical.
Insight check!

Umbriel is slightly confused by everyone getting up to leave so suddenly, but shrugs and makes a small bow to Stefan. "It was a pleasure, sir. I hope to see you again the next time we're in town. Perhaps we'll have more time to discuss scrolls and maybe even an honorary membership to your order. Fare well."
He then pays any outstanding tab and follows his friends out the door.
Stefan nods to Umbriel with a slight grimace. "Yes, drop in and ask for me the next time you come to town."
Where to now? Everyone except Umbriel wants to get to the airship, but feels as though they can stop for supplies if needed.
