"...besides Helmsport might provide other options upon our arrival, as trading ports are notorious for intrigue."

Re: DaleOfShadows: Maztica, 14 Eleasis OOC
"No Mister Sweet.", she whispered back to the half-orc, "That was a very powerful weapon, but it scared the fuzz off my back.", she added, "It kept whispering in my ears, always trying to get me to keep it. to wield it. I was worried it may want me to hurt? you guys. And I would have rather thrown myself onto the pointy bit of the spear than do that." Her little kitty brain was still trying to figure out what she had stopped. An avatar of a god? What was all that about? :"It was always fighting me. Always trying to make me do things I would never do on my own."
Tabby was involved in all the festivities she could handle. She enjoyed the drink, food, and she made sure to dance with everyone of her companions. The bard received a few extra dances.?
The little Tabaxi was confused when the monks came for her. But relaxed when they lead her into one of the bathing chambers. After they undressed her, which the mighty monk was a little uncomfortable with, they helped her step into the tub, and she sank down into the water, letting out a contented purr. As they finished washing her, they helped her out of the tub, dried her body and wrapped her in soft robes made of wildflowers and feathers. Tabby liked the flowers, but really wished they skipped the feathers. These caused her to sneeze.?
Once she was back with her companions, she asked the gnome. "What's a humanoid? Aren't they just people? I would be a cat humanoid. Are these special humanoids?" On Mon, Aug 19, 2024 at 9:07?AM Sweet William/Arthur Picard via <artamy1= [email protected]> wrote:
¡°Thought you were gonna keep that thing for a minute, there,¡± Sweet William tells Purrs With a Fist. The native beer allows him to successfully fight the urge to throttle the monks dressing him in feathers and flowers and no one dies. ¡°Glad nobody from my old tribe can see me now,¡± he mutters, looking disgustedly?at his new froo-froo?duds. ¡°What now, folks? I like nature more than most, but I wouldn¡¯t mind leaving the jungle.¡±

With all eyes on Furry Of The Storm, the crowd cheers wildly as she kneels and returns the spear to its sarcophagus.
Spellcasters send waves of vibrant colors through air and joyous music resounds.
Food and drink is passed around in abundance and much merriment ensures with dancing, singing and games.
The celebration continues long throughout the morning and far into midday.?
One by one throughout the festivities, you are taken aside by a group of monks and bathed, pampered, and perfumed before being dressed in robes of wildflowers and feathers.
After celebrating, eating and drinking, napping on and off, and sharing tales, the party slowly winds down and celebrants drift away??back to their clans and villages.
