Eili has been trailing behind the rest of the party as they walk together, only engaging in polite conversations with one-word responses or simple nods/shakes of the head. She is not used to being part of a group again, at least not yet.
She immediately perks up at the mention of Mimi, however. She can only assume Mimi is a beast of burden, and she knows beasts much better than people these days.
Nephis manages to catch up to the group as they approach the caravan. "Mr. Guffa. I'm doing well, thank you for asking. I look forward to travelling with you." He greets him politely with a bow of the head.
When Guffa moves to introduce Mimi, Nephis follows behind him, curious.
(Well, that's what happens when you party all night long :))
Guffa leads you three to the front of the caravan and you see...a big rock? No horse or...Owlbear or anything just a-
Eili's sixth sense kicks in and she immediately steps back. Jaden is curious of her reaction before turning back and jolting to the side as well. The giant rock moved, revealing a ten foot long tail and an almost equal sized mouth. Mimi...is a giant crocodile. And, unfortunately, Nephis lacked the strength in his legs to avoid her swing her mouth his way, knocking him to the ground, and pinning him under her mouth. He's not suffocating, as she seems to have been trained not to do that.
"Ey na, whatcha doin', scaly girl! That's me payday!" Guffa grumbles.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kricam walks cautious after the three that went to look at Mimi, seeing that it surprised them.
(Just in case: Dex save: 18)
“ Don’t worry. This one seems relatively tame. You do not want to see a angry croc in their own territory.” Kricam says, almost with the warmth of familiarity. “Especially zombie ones”
Instinctively, Jaden adopts a defensive posture (i.e., takes the Dodge action) and his scimitar is suddenly in his hand, having apported from its scabbard, which is tied to his backpack.

Silver had no curiosity about any Mimi. It was a long night, a very short nap, and then a long trek here. Silver was ready for a nap. As some others wandered away that way, Silver shrugged, walked to the back of the caravan and made her way inside to find the comfiest place to curl up and snooze...
Kricam slowly approaches Mimi, one claw held out to her. She starts to hiss, then jerks her head towards him, and he backs off a bit. This goes on for a few moments before Kricam gets a hold of her face and starts to scratch. He manages to find a sweet spot just below her eye and begins to lead her off of Nephis.
Silver could swear that this caravan is bigger on the inside than outside. There is an entire living space for the first couple of feet, three cushioned chairs and a coffee table. Then there is a small staircase leading up, where Silver finds four bunk beds built into both sides of the caravan. As soon as her aching body hits the bed, she is fast asleep in moments.
Symon Twist, who softly mumbles to himself, is sort of the tail-end Charlie and notices the commotion just as Kricam begins to soothe Mimi.
"Great, loping horned Tricamaldus!" He exclaims in astonishment at the sight of Mimi. "What is that?" Pointing at her. Watching Kricam scratching her he asks, "What does it eat? Must be a lot; your maintenance cost are probably astronomical, yes? Did you know that most creature require about a ten to one ratio of torgal body mass to weight of food? Wow, what a tremendous creature. How long have you had it? Where does it come from? What do you do with all it's, it's...leftovers? How old is it? Did you breed or do you just buy things that size?
"I am reminded of a time back in '02, I was down by the river and saw this tremendous thing in the water, startled me so much I blasted it," here he waggles his finger as the tip of his nose does its pink thing again, "lucky for me it was just an old, submerged log." He grimaces, embarrassed. "But it could'a been dangerous, ye never know and it's best not to take chances." Then Symon really notices the caravan for the first time.
"Wow! Will you look at that! Reminds me of a castle on wheels. Did you know that the ancient Covortians used to build mobile cities? Very impressive they were; so I have read. About a span or so broad they were and whole teams of Cavortians would be out, pushing and pulling in which ever direction they were going, mightily heaving the thing along. Folks used to spend all day on their porches watchin' the show, they wern't all that big ye see, and ..." Symon trails off as he climbs into the caravan, leaving "I wonder..." hanging in the air behind him.
Seeing only Silver sleeping in the corner, he quietly, for him anyway, explores the place.
"Augh... ow... everything hurts again." Nephis groans as he is knocked and pinned by the gator. "Hello Mimi, nice to get to know you." he manages to say as Kricam leads the reptile off of him. He brushes himself off once more.
He steadies himself on his feet and moves toward the interior of the caravan. He collapses into a chair.
"There you go. See what I mean. Just show her you're not lunch and she'll respect you, at least just enough not to snack on you." Kricam says calmly as he continues to scratch the sweet spot. He looks to the insides of the caravan and is a bit startled and torn between sleeping inside or on top. He eventually decides to sleep on one of the bunks as he is still feeling the effects of last night, probably on the top bunk as a sort of compromise.
After realising that Nephis wasn't being attacked, Jaden puts his sword back in its scabbard and joins Kricam in trying to get Nephris out from under the huge beast. Once that's done he also spends some time petting the animal just so that it gets to know him; he wants it very clear to Mimi that he is not a snack.
"Mimi is very impressive," he comments to Guffa, as he gives the animal one last scratch before climbing aboard the caravan and finding a place to stow his many belongings.
[OOC: DM, Is the caravan actually bigger on the inside or is it just cleverly designed?]

As everyone begins to settle themselves in the caravan, Guffa ushers Mimi back in front of it. He takes a long metal rod and places it in her mouth, pulling the reigns back a bit so he can settle himself in the driver's seat. Lola pokes her head in and waves at everyone. "Good luck everybody. Make sure you guys tell Taiman I did a good job. And make sure to come back if you wanna party! Bye!" She beams. The entire caravan creaks a bit as Mimi stretches, then shakes something fierce at the first tug. Guffa calls from the front, "Don' worry, it gets smoother, I swear." And sure enough, the first few feet settle out to a gentle rocking.
The caravan travels alongside the beach for the first hour, a few seagulls flying by. Looking out the window, the group can see a couple of more ships coming and going from Veingo. The next hour the caravan travels more inland, soon on a path you'd guess was made by Mimi due to many travels.
The time is about 3 in the afternoon, anyone who'd like to take a long rest(I.e. the folks with exhaustion :)) are welcome to. Also, this will be long, if you wish to get to know each other more, now is the perfect time.
Silver gets a long rest in, and then some. She eventually crawls out of bed and goes down to join the others, look for some food, and just enjoy company for a bit before she decides to nap again. "Sooooo......," She'll ask after plopping herself down in the most comfortable looking spot. "The letter... Weird, huh? Like how the heck does this guy from a place I never even heard of even know who I am?"
"Hey!" She says before anyone even has a chance to reply. "You don't think he could have been sending the letter to some other Night's Silver Lining, do you??"
[OOC: DM, Is it possible for Jaden to climb up to where Guffa is driving while the caravan is moving? He would like to talk to the man about the country they are passing through and any potential threats.]
