Homebrew: Totem of Carrowkeel

Erevan: You find a young acolyte who is also eating breakfast. He seems a little groggy but happy and seems keen to speak to anyone! After he explains the festival will begin as dusk falls on Ferim in the square outside the temple he goes on to tell you about the events.

"A great bonfire will be lit and everyone will burn a wish for Chauntea to grant or a burden for her to lift," the acolyte says with a smile. "Then there will be a pageant of offerings," he began but pauses nervously looking behind you. As you turn you see a heavyset cleric eyeing him from the entrance of the mess hall with her arms crossed over her chest looking at him expectantly. The young man acts now as if he's getting up from the table. "You brought the totem from Carrowkeel right," he then whispers at you looking around after he mentions it before casting a glance again over your shoulder towards the same cleric who is now glaring at him!

Saarebas, after eating breakfast, is curious about the state of Bridas mother and will question Brida on her mother’s location. He wants to make sure she is all right.

Glancing over his shoulder at the cleric in the doorway, Erevan pretends to have not heard the whispered question.

"What sort of offerings are normally made?  If I were to prepare my own offering, what would you suggest?"

Saarebas: You can't seem to find Brida at the moment as you are told she's in prayer and are not to be disturbed you do fine Aldaryn however who's in the best of health once more. He seems worries as you find him pacing outside the only closed doors you've seen in the temple so far!

"Hey, Aldaryn you look better. Have you heard anything about Brida's mother? I'm curious about how she's doing. Do you know if whatever curse was afflicting her was successfully removed?" 

Erevan: "All sorts of things for the common folk outside the city. I've once since a bull as big as a cart once lead into the flames," he says quickly his eyes continually darting over you shoulder as he still makes big gestures of eating the smallest bit of eggs on his plate. "I don't know what Carrowkeel offering is which is rare enough considering their yields were so poor that last few years," he then say whispering again. "People are looking forward to see it," he adds. "As for a man of the world like yourself would offer," he pauses smiling the giving you a shrug curious that you would asked for his opinion on such a gift before quickly rushing away from the table.

Saarebas: Aldaryn looks at you then begins to speak. At first hearing his voice startles you but he then gives you an even more surprising smile. "I don't know. They woke us early..." he trails off. "It was before dawn and she left to join her high priestess," Aldaryn explains. "I know nothing of the witch," he then adds with venom in his tone. "She's being held where I can not go," he explains before giving a deep, haggard sigh as he ties his swath of silver hair back off his shoulders. "Have you eaten," the dark elf then asks curiously but he looks more like he needs a distraction than asking if you want company.

Saarebas will respond with a gentle smile "Yes I've already eaten but you go ahead and eat. I'll stand outside this door and wait for Brida. I promise I'll come get you as soon as she steps through this door."

Darik still asleep smell breakfast and gets up to stretch. Once he put his sword on he'll head to the room where everyone's at. Getting himself a plate of food will sit down and begin to eat still sleepy.

Darik: "Where's Brida? Did her mother make a recover?" Eating with his eyes closed...

OOC: [Sorry, anyone who's listening.]

BeastyC: Felix? Lol I'm going to start taking hit points. *wink* Also you are you addressing?

Saarebas: Aldaryn remains with you, brooding and pacing.

Erevan: Where you at? Still in the mess hall?

Erevan  finishes his meal then goes outside to find a place to play his lute, laying his case on the ground before him with a few silver and a gold piece visible inside.  He's hamming it up for the passersby, matching his rhythms to the ambient sounds in the area.  Performance 13

Saarebas will give Aldaryn a semi-menancing look "Go eat. Stop Brooding. If you don't I'll force you. Now go I'll watch the door and inform you of any change."

Saarebas: Aldaryn nods and finally leaves to get some breakfast. Seeing Darik the dark elf makes it a point to avoid him sitting alone in the only empty table in the mess hall to brood over his meal.

Erevan: So far you've earned 7 in coin but you do happen to meet another bard, a young looking halfling with blonde hair and a broad smile, who sets up with you playing a drum. You get talking and mention wanting to be more familiar with the city so he shows you a map, something the bard does to earn coin! Explaining the direction you entered the city he points you to the east gate that leads to Sul Na Mara through Carrowkeel!

OOC: Is that 7 gold or silver?

Erevan: Let's say 1 gold and 6 silver; people look hurried and although they appreciate the music it's far too busy outside the temple to linger to listen to you and now the other bard who introduces himself as Tydus Meriweather!

After eating, Darik will walk around and figure out where the market is. 

Darik: You are walking out from the temple you are immediately are met with stares and whispers. There are people moving about, devotees of Chauntea as well as humans who work within the temple. You have seen dwarves, elves, and half-elves among those in the temple but now outside the city seems dominated by humans! You have yet to seen another dragonborn but even with the stares and whispers no one tries to stop you. Outside the temple you realize the central market is before you. It's decked out with decorations of bows of wheat and other greenery for the festival of Chauntea. The mood is relaxed even as you begin to move through the crowds. You then see Erevan playing with a male blonde halfling playing a drum!

Saarebas: You hear the doors begin to open and then they pause in their progression. Through the small opening you overhear Brida's voice, "I hope you can help return her mind. May Chauntea be pleased," then the doors open all the way and she comes out surprise to see you waiting for her. "Oh, hello," Brida says to you with a soft smile.

Darik amazed by how many human are out looks around, for a medicinal shop herbs and potions kind of place.

Perception: 7

Darik: As you know already that magics, even healing potions, are restricted to religious purveyors because of the laws in Talamh. You however do see a caravan wagon with a herbalism sign that reads Blix's Natural Healing. There's a half-elven man and a human woman talking with other humans you can tell are customers.
