„We did find out what happened thanks to Cinta. 200 Years ago the local people made an agreement with the pixies of the forrest to only harvest a small amount of trees. Over the centuries that agreement was forgotten by the humans and they started to chop down more and more trees, up to the point were the pixies started to defend the forrest. Cinta was able to communicate with the pixies and they agreed to talk with the lumberjacks. Hayes will organise an emissary who can talk for the Prime Arbiter and the Tuscon Family to negotiate a new agreement with the pixies.“
Taryon strokes his chin. “Hmm... Alright, I guess. If old Sydnock’s got a hand in this ordeal, then I suppose your job here is done.” He points to Arrin, “Your community service is not done just yet. However,” he looks over all of you, “tomorrow is Barren Eve. You all may have the day off. I’m afraid jailbird here is under house arrest; you can stay here or at the Shady Bough: your choice.”
Taryon reaches under his desk and hefts up a small bag with a rope tied up at the top. “The town of Deastok has provided me with 50 silver to pay you for your efforts. Good work, all of you.” He smiles as he waves you all out of his office.
I have added 10 silver to each of your sheets. If you ever wish to give your share to another player, just arrange it in the group pm.
For the sake of expediency, let’s say that everyone left. Cinta, Arrin, and Orin have all asked to stay on the estate. Zoya and Leon can stay too if they wish, but they also have prepaid rooms at the Shady Bough.
You all receive your long rests. What do you all do during the time before or after you sleep?
Arrin is feeling the restlessness, unable to do anything he'd find enjoyable in the past couple days, he has taken to mild exercise to try and at least do something. Push-ups, jumping jacks, lifting the heaviest thing he can find, just something so he doesn't feel like he's been sitting around and doing nothing.
Zoya would like to stay as well. At some point in the evening she seeks out Tary. "I hope I'm not intruding, I'm already taking up your space here, but I was wondering if you had some fine inks lying around somewhere that you might not need?" she asks if she finds him.
Leon would return to the inn, having already prepaid for it after all. He would have a drink in the common room, then retire. When morning comes he would seek out the others to see what they are doing.
Orin goes straight to sleep and wakes up a little early in the morning to take out Amaya.
Zoya joins Orin in the garden in the morning and plays violin.
Leon drinks for a bit before going to sleep.
Arrin spends time getting back into shape since he couldn’t exercise much in a cell.
I assume Cinta will wake up at the same time as Zoya and Orin and just enjoy sitting in the garden.
All of you do your own thing. Today is 2 Duscar—a holiday called Barren Eve. Cinta’s of Xhorhasian origin but she’s lived in the Empire long enough to get the gist of it, so you all know what the holiday is. Barren Eve is the longest night of winter. It is a day of mourning those who have fallen in war. Many candles are lit in honor of the deceased.
Taryon Darrington has allowed you five to have a day off. You may spend the day however you wish. For example, Cinta could act as a translator for the Truscans’ emissary and the pixies. You may be able to earn some extra money if you can find a job for the day, but it isn’t necessary. Arrin, unfortunately, is still under house arrest. He may go anywhere as long it is on the Darrington estate.
Cinta spends most of the day in the garden relaxing and enjoying not working every day of her life, she lights candles for those that died the day she was captured and for her family who may or may not be dead.
She then spent quite a bit of time getting to know the garden birds and household animals having some long and interesting chats about where to find the best grubs and which plants were particularly tasty.
Occasionally she thought that she should have volunteered to assist further with the negotiations but surely they had better more experienced people they could trust?
She sang some Xhorhasian songs and tried to get Zoya to learn the tunes and basically lay in the sun enjoying her first day off in many years.
"Xhorhasian songs?" Zoya stares at Cinta with some disbelief. She hesitates but can't help but find the tunes to be pleasing to the ears. Eventually she gives in and tries to play along to Cinta's singing.
Before she leaves, she goes to Arrin. "Since you can't leave, should I light some candles for you? I'm going anyway."
Arrin shakes his head at her just quietly saying, "I'll light my own candles but thank you." The normally rough goliath is actually quiet and gentle today. You would guess that even he has some respect for a holiday like this. When alone he would get two candles from Darrington and go to his room. Lightning the two candles he stares and them for a moment before he begins to talk to them. In giant he talks to his parent, "Mom, Dad, I hope you're listening to me. I hope you're watching me. You were the best soldiers. I still promise to destroy the beast that took your lives. I need to get stronger though. I need to stop getting arrested." He chuckles as he says, "Yes Mom I know. I need to make friends. Stop pushing them away." Arrin frowns to himself, "Easier said than done though. But I'll try, for you Mom I'll try. I love you Mom and Dad. And I hope...one day I could see you two again and tell you that in person." Arrin wipes away and tears that were forming up and lets the candles burn as he makes his way back into the estate garden and back to his strength training.

"That about sums it up." Leon agrees with a nod.
Taryon strokes his chin. “Hmm... Alright, I guess. If old Sydnock’s got a hand in this ordeal, then I suppose your job here is done.” He points to Arrin, “Your community service is not done just yet.

Cinta cradled the coins, " I would very much like to stay here if that is alright."
" I am so very tired."
Orin: „I would also like to stay for today, maybe we get the chance to talk about my parents or maybe i can read a bit more in your librarry?“
So before he waves you away, he says “Of course! Of course. I have enough guest rooms for you.”
Arrin lets out a huff before asking, “Your metal man. Can I spare with it?”
“I would prefer you didn’t. He would probably beat you, and I need you at full strength for your work.”
For the sake of expediency, let’s say that everyone left. Cinta, Arrin, and Orin have all asked to stay on the estate. Zoya and Leon can stay too if they wish, but they also have prepaid rooms at the Shady Bough.
You all receive your long rests. What do you all do during the time before or after you sleep?
In the morning i will take Amaya out into the garden of the estate and fly her.
Arrin is feeling the restlessness, unable to do anything he'd find enjoyable in the past couple days, he has taken to mild exercise to try and at least do something. Push-ups, jumping jacks, lifting the heaviest thing he can find, just something so he doesn't feel like he's been sitting around and doing nothing.

“No, of course not. You’re all welcome to spend your stay in Deastok here.”
Leon would return to the inn, having already prepaid for it after all. He would have a drink in the common room, then retire. When morning comes he would seek out the others to see what they are doing.
In the morning Zoya joins Orin in the garden to play on her violin.
So during the long rest time period:
All of you do your own thing. Today is 2 Duscar—a holiday called Barren Eve.

How do you all wish to spend your day?
Cinta spends most of the day in the garden relaxing and enjoying not working every day of her life, she lights candles for those that died the day she was captured and for her family who may or may not be dead.
She then spent quite a bit of time getting to know the garden birds and household animals having some long and interesting chats about where to find the best grubs and which plants were particularly tasty.

Arrin wipes away and tears that were forming up and lets the candles burn as he makes his way back into the estate garden and back to his strength training.
Leon would find a book on history in bthe library, if he is allowed to do so, to read for the day.
