Stewlicious

From the same cave came a Githyanki bleeding profusely from one leg using a greatsword as a crutch carrying a crossbow. She was covered in wounds and blood all over her body from a severe beating. "Told you I kill you, you stupid bastard." She collapsed to her knees and fell face-first into the dirt. Carla the Cleric rushed to the Githyanki's aide. She cast several healing spells to aid in her recovery. Once she was safe to travel she had Demonsbane pick the Githyanki woman up and put her in the cart. To make room for the woman to lay down some people would have to walk.

Arc was a bit relieved to see the Cleric do the healing since he was not sure if his healing spells would work on the strange races he had never seen before. However he felt a feeling of Deja Vu as the bandits hurting their prisoners. He felt no pity for the bandits as they slaughtered them.

That night as they were setting up camp to rest the Githyanki woman awoke.

Arc was at the camp cooking a Traveler Stew which contained meat and vegetables with a bit of seasoning. It was easy to make and could have some ingredients switched out. Luna on the other hand was by the campfire working on a project while she had her construct rats scouting the perimeter in case of trouble. Her magical monocle let her see what her rats could see when they saw something. The two were working quietly till Arc said, “ Stews ready if you want any.” He then adjusted the fire to not burn the stew but keep it warm. He served himself and left to eat in privacy to hide his face. Luna then set her project down and served herself as she saw Arc leave. While she let her stew cool down she worked on her project a bit more.

Styx then flew to the pot and used her magic to serve herself a tiny bowl of stew before sitting on a rock. She then blew on her stew to cool it down as she watched Luna work. Styx then said, “ Wow. So Arc can fight and cook. I’d say he’s a keeper if not for him hiding his face in his fancy helmet.” Luna shrugged and replied, “Well he said his face got messed up and didn’t like others seeing it.” Styx sampled the stew then replied, “That makes sense but he seems awfully good natured for a wounded warrior. Most become bitter over time.” Luna nodded and replied, “Well he is a paladin, so maybe he has come to terms with it.” Then the two females ate in silence as they found the stew to be very good.
