The New Girl

After the team came back with Damalo Harrieta's companions everyone took their long rest. Two days after picking Damalo they had to hunt for more meat and gather some flora, as well as water.

Arc made sure everyone had enough food to eat since they had more people join them at the last moment. Luckily they had enough food to spare. Styx was curious about the survivors as she watched them eat and go to sleep. Luna continued to work on her project while using her rat constructs to patrol the area.

On their third day they arrived at Neverwinter late in the afternoon. Damalo and his team went to complete their mission.

The seemed to have mixed feelings about the survivors leaving but Arc pointed out that people come and people go when it comes to a caravan.

While in Neverwinter they heard many panicked voices but never could get anyone to talk to them. Tav pointed out a government official and several members of the party approached and grabbed him. "What is everyone panicking about?" The government official turned to face Tav. "Ahem." The government official cleared his throat showing his disdain for Tav. He refused to talk until Tav let go. Tav let go. "Thank you. Everyone is panicking because one of the Mind Flayer ships has crashed nearby, shortly after the failed Battle for Baldur's Gate. It is a day's ride from here. Numerous soldiers were sent four days ago we haven't heard back from them. We are trying to find anyone willing to do something about it." Before anyone could object Tav volunteered the entire team. "We'll head out first thing tomorrow morning." Tav returned to the team and explained the side quest she just accepted on behalf of everyone.

Even though they didn’t have much time to rest up properly Tav accepted a mission rather quickly. Arc then pointed out that before they head out they needed to resupply their provisions. So they quickly broke up in small groups and purchased what they needed on their lists.

While everyone was focused on Demalo and his companions Shi'za looted the camp chest for her stuff. She was unfamiliar with the land and decided to stalk the team that healed her.

Luna found it amusing as Shi’za tried to stalk them in such a crude manner and pointed it out to the others her rat constructs were following her and unnoticed.

When they arrived in Neverwinter she overheard talk about the Mind Flayer ship. She decided to keep following the team.

Arc asked Luna about the Mind Flayer ship and learned that it was an old an lost technology of modifying a living flying nautilus. Arc found it interesting and asked if Luna could fix it so that they could use it for their mission. Luna agreed that was a possibility if the conditions were in her favor.

Everyone knew Shi'za was following them she was about as stealthy as an angry barbarian. They all suspected she was probably a barbarian. She didn't pose a threat so they let her have her do her own thing. Eventually, Tav grew bored of ignoring her. "Githyanki lady if you are going to follow us you might as well join us."

Arc looked back to see what the Githyanki lady would do. It didn’t take long before the others watched and waited for her response.

Shi'za cursed in her native tongue and approached. "Shi'za." Tav looked at Shi'za and decided to repeat what she assumed was Shi'za giving them her name. "Tav."

Arc then introduced himself, “Greetings. I am Arc, a wandering Paladin.” Luna replied, “I’m Luna.” Styx was sitting on Arc’s helmet as she smugly said, “And I am Styx the amazing. So are ye lost or out hunting mind flayers?”
