”Oh yes Dusty will put this to real good use Dusty will. I’ll be so silent I can sneak up and smack Orcs on the head. Thank you for this gift.”
Dusty retrieves a parchment.
”As you said our friend here is in dire dire need of a healer. So we won’t have time to look for your cow but I do hope you find ol’ Petunia safe and sound. If you wouldn’t mind before we go could you sign this as proof that we came and helped you with the Orc menace.?”
Nimue looks up at the sky and the sun then says "There is no way we will make it back to Phandalian before the sun sets. Why don't we take a short rest while I send my ravens to look for his cow. Then we can spend the afternoon trying to return her." She asks "I am assuming we can stay the night here? That way we can depart early in the morning and make it to town tomorrow."
"It ain't no problem man, like you gotta take care of dem dangoh priorities first man I understand - listen if you ever round these parts man like feel free to stop by man get you some honest work I pay you good too man dagum gonna be hard to find good help for awhile with that dagum monster flying around man five my ranch hands dead too dagum shame..." he says, as he signs the parchment.
After he hears Nimue's suggestion he replies, "Oh yea lady ain't no dagum problem got plenty of rooms upstairs man just ignore the mess you know dangoh greenskins mess up the place but pillows still fluffy an' you say something bout dem birds finding ole Petunia I really appreciate it man pretty lady look like you got some dem magic stuff going on I ain't seen that for years like BLAZAM man last time I saw that kind of stuff wus years ago man yea you can stay yea. Yea."
Nimue, Dusty, and Leovold rest in the rooms upstairs Big Al's farmhouse. Orc footprints can be seen leading to the window in one, suggesting that it jumped out during the earlier commotion. The farmhouse is in general disarray. Krash sleeps outside while hogtied and stowed on a horse.
Numquam flies around the nearby hills but finds nothing out of the ordinary.
Magis flies east towards the Neverwinter Wood and sees Petunia near Conyberry! This is a short distance away from where the adventurers are sleeping.
(ooc: The party has taken a short rest.)
Everyone is waken by a loud KABLAM, followed by Big Al's voice: "DADGUM IT MAN dangun greenskin hiding in the outhouse man like just goin in for a lil poopoo man now gotta lot more than just that man haha dango orc guts all over man don't know how we gonna sit on that there toilet no more man haha man woudya look at that dangoh orc got no head man! just like blam blam man I really gotta go man just gonna have to squat I guess man..."
If Nimue thinks she can get to the cow and back before sunset, she will suggest to the group that they go. Otherwise she will not tell anyone that Magis located the cow.
The adventurers make their way to Conyberry and find Petunia without incident.
However, looking into the distance towards the south, they see a large figure in the sky. A white dragon hovers in a circle for a minute or two, before flying away.
After retrieving petunia Nimue walks back into the house and informs big Al of the success. She then moves to Facebreaker and says "For yours and mostly my safety, how do you feel about sleeping in the cellar tonight. I will keep Magis down there with you to keep you informed and we can talk still. I am worried about your condition. Hopefully this will be the last night of your piggly desires."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The adventurers leave a hogtied Facebreaker in the cellar, locking the door outside. The rest of the party sleeps in their previous rooms through the night.

They are awakened just before dawn by loud banging coming from the cellar. Looking to see what happened, they open the door to find Facebreaker passed out on the stairs, having broken out of the rope. He was unable to break out of the locked cellar door, however.
"Mornin to ya fellas, it's a little earlier than I usually get up but that ain't no problem man usually wake up to that dang-oh rooster like cawkacaw you know man? Don't blame your friend for trying to get out of that dangum cellar ain't fun being locked in there man like i tell ya from personal experience I tell ya wut. How bout some pancakes man I still got flour dem orcs don't know how to cook no human food man and I getchyou some fresh milk from ole Petunia wipe some of mah famous butter on dem pancakes like wicky wicky man."
The party watches as Big Al takes a skull shaped block of butter and smears it across one pancake which is set on top of several pancakes.
"Take this too man like it ain't much but you get done dealin' with that dangun adventurin' stuff man come out here I put you to work and pay you good man I tell ya wut and you got any trouble just senda hollar. As long as I got ole' Petunia there be more where that came from."
Big Al sets another pouch of 120 gp on the table.
(ooc: 120/4 = 30 gp each.)
After the party finishes breakfast, they start to make their return trip to Phandalin on horseback.
(ooc: The party has long rested.)

The party makes their way along the Triboar Trail without incident, Krash spending most of his time asleep while stowed on horseback. It becomes dark just before they reach Phandalin. Upon approaching the town, they can see smoke rising into the air and flames originating from the center of town.
Screams can be heard throughout town. Buildings near the Townmaster's Hall are ablaze.
"MAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY! MAH BABBYYYYYYYYYY!!!" a lady can be heard screaming.
A plump middle aged man can be seen outside the Hall as the heroes run to the scene. He looks to them and throws a bucket over. "Well? If you're here to help, get to it!"
Many of the townsfolk can be seen running past the shrine of luck in order to get water from the well in order to calm the blaze.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nimue taps her lets out a loud audible sigh. "Seriously? Leave the town for two days and they go and find a way to burn it." She grabs someone and asks them "How did this happen? Was it an attack?" She sends Magis airborne to survey the town for damage and anything suspicious.
Nimue makes her way through the chaos and crowds and sees Ander from Barthen's Provisions. He looks to her, clearly in a more flustered state than his usual calm demeanor. "Nimue was it? The adventurers, right? Give us a god damn hand. Thistle ran into the building to try to save little Timmy. Dumb bastard...THISTLE! THISTLE!!!" he yells, circling around the building looking for a way in.
Magis circles around town, seeing that only the buildings between the Townmaster's Hall and the inn are burning. In the distance, a large figure can be seen flying east. However, it is too far away to see clearly.
Dazlyn the dwarf also runs past, stopping when she sees the adventurers. "Eth jarlethurkon sgor! Eth jarlethurkon!" she yells. "....Theh DRAGON!!!"
"Not much rest around here. One thing after another. I hope Torin, Korvis and Vitna are alright." Leovold rushes into the building to try to save Thistle and Timmy.
Leovold knocks open the front door of the building, immediately flinching from the intense heat. He looks around to see much of the area ablaze, and parts of the building crumbling. Smoke obscures his vision.
"Timmy? *cough* *cough*....Little Timmy!?" Thistle's voice can be heard from inside the building. The muffled cries from a young boy can be heard further away.
(ooc: Looking for strength/dexterity checks to make it through the flame and smoke. Maybe perception as well.)

I think maybe I'm meaning to the North behind the bar or the stairs if that is the only way up. I'm really struggling to read this map and what I can actually do.
" I think we should get back to town as fast as possible with Krash. Dusty, maybe Big Al should sign something, so we can prove we came out here."
Dusty takes the Mithral Chain mail.
”Oh yes Dusty will put this to real good use Dusty will. I’ll be so silent I can sneak up and smack Orcs on the head. Thank you for this gift.”
Dusty retrieves a parchment.
”As you said our friend here is in dire dire need of a healer. So we won’t have time to look for your cow but I do hope you find ol’ Petunia safe and sound. If you wouldn’t mind before we go could you sign this as proof that we came and helped you with the Orc menace.?”
Dusty extends the parchment to Al.

(ooc: If searching for Petunia, roll perception.)
Nimue get as much information as possible and will move to take a short rest while she sends Magis and Numquam to search for petunia.
Numquam 7
Magis 15
After the hour, Nimue will try to best assess how much time there is until the sun is down.
Nimue, Dusty, and Leovold rest in the rooms upstairs Big Al's farmhouse. Orc footprints can be seen leading to the window in one, suggesting that it jumped out during the earlier commotion. The farmhouse is in general disarray. Krash sleeps outside while hogtied and stowed on a horse.

Dusty starts laughing.
”Well done big Al. The next time I hear an explosion from the outhouse I hope it’s just because you had beans not not because an Orc was hiding out.”

Leovold is still trying to puzzle out whatever this farmer just said.
After retrieving petunia Nimue walks back into the house and informs big Al of the success. She then moves to Facebreaker and says "For yours and mostly my safety, how do you feel about sleeping in the cellar tonight. I will keep Magis down there with you to keep you informed and we can talk still. I am worried about your condition. Hopefully this will be the last night of your piggly desires."
facebreaker raises an eye at nimue.
”you trust that cellar to hold me? HAH stronger prisons have tried and failed...” *snort*
"Well it is better than nothing.... Try to hold the urges and if you can not, remember Dusty likes you the least here..."
The adventurers leave a hogtied Facebreaker in the cellar, locking the door outside. The rest of the party sleeps in their previous rooms through the night.
