Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Dreams tells the others, "I'm going to approach Laurel about meeting with Syntira. Of all the people in town, Laurel seems most likely to be open to it. Does anyone else want to accompany me?" Dreams' face is still grim with grief from the recent events, but pushes herself to keep busy, looking after the well-being of the town.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Helping burry the dead is a job Wilfried wasn't keen on but it has to be done. However his mind is fixed around something else. The thought that they might find Ulizmilla or at least a hint toward the cause of her demise nags at Wilfried and so he does all he can to find out where and how they can find the witch.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
The next few days are busy ones for Celevan. Falcon's Hollow is his adopted home now, and so he's invested in its well-being. Most of his waking hours are spent helping the town in some way. Often he can be found helping Sherrif Baleson spar with Payday, aiding Laurel in dealing with the many injured, or even simply bringing hot meals to those unable to feed themselves because of what they suffered at the carnival. Strangely, he supports Kreed's efforts to get the men back to their logging, though in a much kinder manner. The sooner they get back to a sense of normalcy, the sooner they'll recover from the horrors of the carnival. The summoner does warn the men, however, to be as respectful as possible to those who make the Vale their home. A little good neighborliness goes a long way.
Of Suli there is no sign for most of this time. His injuries were great from the various fights with the dark fey - or Frostlings, as some are now calling them - and he remains in his celestial home recovering. It's only late on the second day that Celevan calls him forth once more, only to discover that the eidolon has undergone another change. No longer is he a sleek white tiger. Now he appears in the form of a giant dragonfly, some five feet in length, with a fully extended wingspan of nearly twice that. One thing hasn't changed, however. He still has the same crystalline blue eyes as Celevan, and the rune above his head that matches the one that appears on Celevan's brow.
For the rest of the day, Celevan does his best to make the rounds through town, introducing everyone he knows to Suli in his new form. By now much of the town was familiar with the fact that Celevan had a 'pet' that was inclined to change its shape from time to time. Even so, he had never become an insect before, and some people had a problem with insects - even ones as pretty as a dragonfly.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Torias uses some of his time to aid Laurel in healing as many as he can.
But he also is in his study, working on the codex, some scolls and perhaps even working on creating a magic wand.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Much happens in two days, and the wounds of the town, phsyically, are healed. Laurel is thankful for the help, but she isn't the only one in town offering aid to the people. The Church of Farrel is also very active, more so than you've seen before. The little church is mostly made up of fanatics to the prophet Farrel, an off shoot of the Lietbur Knights and more main stream religions to the gods like Lugus and Amathaon. Between Dreams, Celevan, and Torias the wounded are quickly tended and that aspect of things is taken care off. Even the Magistrate Vamros Harg is on the mend now.
Torias' work with the Codex reveals more, now that much of it has been unlocked to him by Syntira. He is certain now he could navigate you through the Dark Moon Vale to the area known as the Cold Marrow and likely even to a point where the 'Panalopy' might be located. It is a prospect that seems like something you should not pass up. A cache of ancient god used relics? How could one not want to find that? The dwarf spends much of his time inside for another reason -- his brother Torrak. Torrak has taken to sequestering himself in his room. Since being trapped in a block of ice, and 'failing everyone' as he puts it, he has slipped into a great depression and will see no one, eats very little, and generally is in a terrible mood. So much so that most everyone has forgotten about him in the hustle and bustle of the last two days.
Wilfried heads into he forest for a day, and you think perhaps the half orc has returned to his wandering ways, but when he returns has with him a large wolf. The townsfolk run in a bit of fear at the sight of the canine, but it is well mannered (for a wolf) and stalks along with Wil as he returns to your house.
Suletor's change takes much of the town by surprise, but then again Suli has not been the same shape since you met him. First a wolf, then a panther, then a giant lizard, then a snow tiger, and now, now he's a massive dragonfly nearly five feet in length! The Eidolon's personality hasn't changed any however with his new form and before long everyone is already mostly used to his flying shape. The kids of the town have been pestering Celevan to let them ride Suli for a day now. Among those kids is Savram Vade, the son of the wizard who lives in the tower on the edge of town as well as Jurin Kreed, son of Thuldrin Kreed, even Jak, who rarely ever speaks is among the kids wanting a ride. Nessa however is sour for days, she wants her brother back, and wants him back now. And poor Griet hasn't said a dozen words since the kobolds, and was just starting to open up when the Carnival hit, and she's withdrawn once more into herself.
Gathered in the house, preparing for Syrronas' funeral there is a knock on the door. It is Nessa, the young woman's face is lined and hard, and she is looking more and more like Vren each day. "Some one has come for you. I think it is the man you've been waiting on. He's heading to the Carnival now."

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Dreams kneels down in front of Nessa and says, "Thank you, dear. If it's who we've been waiting for, he should be able to turn Gunner back into a person. Do you want to lead us to him?" Dreams hopes that if Nessa can feel useful it will relieve some of the mental burden that seems to be weighing on the girl.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Celevan promises the kids that when things calm down, Suli will definitely be available for rides. With the carnival a bust, they'd need some entertainment.
He's more solemn, however, as Syronnas's funeral approaches. And when Nessa brings word of the newcomer, he's up and ready to go in a moment. "Come on, Suli," he says, and the giant dragonfly takes to the air and darts out the open door, briefly folding his wings to fit through.
"Thank you, Nessa," he echoes. "I hope you will lead us down there. I know your brother will want you there when he's changed back to his proper form."

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Wilfried does not like the idea of living in a house all that much. For now he stays with the pack but has found a secluded chamber with a large window for now.

Re: Two Days Later: Concluding the Adventure
Besides working on the codex, his scrolls, and healing people, Torias also buys some more material for scrolls.
