Immersive Ink

Dorgan will ask Gallaine himself if he has to, but he's interested in meeting the woodland spirits.

ooc: Wen and Highbough are going the premise that this is a meet and greet, meant to get information not actually retrieve anything magic. If it is remotely dangerous we are going to fade into the forest and run away. Hence the reason is was not more widely advertised. Wen would certainly tell Dorgan this. Once we know what is involved I suspect we'll need the fighters. But feel free to corner Gallaine.

Desmond hangs out in the Elven camp, happy to avoid the dangers of meeting with the fey folk.

Josiane will see about ordering her new armour.

Then, before setting about assisting Ulric with the scrying globe, she takes a deep breath and seeks out the Double-Troubled Hobbit.

"Lord Desmond? Lord Mondes? A moment of your time, if may. There is something we must discuss..."

Desmond smirks at the title of "Lord", replying, "What is it, Sain... er, Josiane?"

Josiane looks uncomfortable, seemingly at something of a loss for the right words.

"I was wondering... Or rather I should ask if you were wondering... Or if perhaps you were and you were not... That is to say... Oh, dear..."

She realises she's making rather a hash of things, takes a deep breath and finally gets to the point.

"My understanding is that your current... condition has come about as the result of a curse. I have news for you. Whether it be good or otherwise I leave for you to judge. I believe it is now within my power to undo this curse and restore you to your former condition. My question to you is... do you wish me to do so?"

She stands, looking at both heads expectantly, awaiting their answer.

Olaf wants to spend the day getting armor (if leather is all he can get it beats nothing!), a helm, a shield and...if not upgrading his bow, at least practicing. He'll carry 3 weeks of waybread and if he has lost his water skin procure one for himself. Other supplies would include fishing line and a hook, a spear (mostly for poking ahead of himself like a pole, but you never know when it might be handy for someone to stand behind a shield wall and poke at Goblins or worse) and how is the rope situation? The party needs to have at least a couple of 50' coils of rope.

Assuming he can pay for it, or the elves make it available, of course.

Olaf will not go on the fey expedition, although he is very interested in the outcome.

If anyone wants to practice bowman ship, he'll enthusiastically join in and if the elves have any pointers he'll gratefully accept them.

ooc: I'll kick in funds towards better armor for Olaf if you can get it.

Desmond's brow scrunches as he frowns at Josiane's suggestion.

"Wut? You mean..." He swallows hard. "You mean... kill Mondes?" He glances at the head to his right. Then he shakes his own head in the negative, "That's... I mean, he's... Would you ask me to kill Ulric? Or The Gustave?"

He stands up and adjusts his sword forward on his hip, "We appreciate the gesture, ma'am, but... We're alright, thanks." Then they leave.

Desmond and Mondes spend the rest of the day on their own, alternating between practicing their lock picking skills and moves with sword and main gauche, to make sure they can carry their own weight with the party when it matters.

Gustave sees that he is bathed and dressed in some new attire, then goes wandering in search of Lólwen, to see if perhaps she would be interested in a stroll in the forest.
