tl;dr[edit | edit source]

Ryoka is saved from Ilvriss by Erin and her Gold-rank teams (+ the Horns). She speaks with Krshia, Zel, Klbkch and the Horns, the latter getting their new equipment. A party is thrown and Ryoka sleeps together with Lyonette and Mrsha.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

  • Pisces takes a moment to look at the situation he's found himself in: standing alongside two gold-rank teams and facing off against Zel Shivertail and a Drake Wall Lord. He doesn't consider Ryoka as important enough to cause such a gathering, but then he glances towards Erin. Pisces is still annoyed that he doesn't know enough about Erin's origins.
  • Ceria tries to keep Pisces focused but Pisces doesn't believe that a fight will break out. Pisces' prediction holds true as Zevara fines Erin 4 gold for attacking Ilvriss before threatening to double it if she argues back. Zel drags Ilvriss back and his retinue manage to calm him down allowing Ryoka to accompany Erin and the adventurers back to the inn.
  • As Revi complains about working for free Pisces tries to read the lips of Zel and Ilvriss: Ilvriss getting Zel to talk to Ryoka, Ceria instead asks her team if they think Ryoka has brought their loot back.
  • Erin creates a queue for people who want to speak to Ryoka, starting with Krshia, then Klbkch, Zel and lastly Ksmvr. Pisces sees Ryoka tell Klbkch "I told Magnolia" before the Antinium leaves.
  • As Zel goes over to talk to Ryoka Pisces sends a tiny undead spider over to eavesdrop as Zel's body blocks his view of the runner. He overhears a small portion of the conversation before the shield spider is destroyed by Mrsha. Ceris tells Pisces to make something faster, more durable or smelly next time to prevent Mrsha from playing with it.
  • During Ryoka's conversation with Zel they talk about Mrsha's fur changing color and she thanks him for saving her. Zel explains that Ilvriss wants to know about Periss and that the two were likely lovers. Ryoka reiterates that she can't tell him since he'll be in danger. Zel chuckles but then reveals the truth detector that Ilvriss gave him - Ryoka was telling the truth so he thinks he'll be able to placate Ilvriss with that at least.
  • Erin comes over and tells Ryoka that Zel's staying at the inn and that if Ryoka's in trouble she can help out. Ksmvr and the Horns head over to Ryoka to discuss their loot.
  • Ryoka reveals the items that she's brought back from Invrisil and hands them out to the Horns. She explains that she had to sell one of the items in exchange for other items but that the Enchanter also owes them a favor that they can call in. Pisces asks about the item but Ryoka only tells them it was a single item that only one of them could use which would have caused a huge fight amongst the group. Jelaqua interjects and tells the arguing Horns that the runner did them a favor.
  • The gold rank adventurers gather around as Ryoka goes through the details of the items that were recovered. Revi asks Ulrien and Halrac to appraise the value of what the Horns have and they give the estimate of around 10-25,000 gold for the lot.
  • The Horns begin to try and distribute their gear before Pisces and Ceria begin to argue over the rings. Yvlon has them focus on the items that are easier to decide on first and while Yvlon gets the enchanted sword Ksmvr also offers her the shield as well to the groups shock. Ksmvr explains that Yvlon's proficiency with the shield makes her the best choice in being the most advantageous decision for the party. Seeing that the two mages stop arguing over the rings and Pisces gets the shatterbolt one while Ceria gives the ring of barkskin to Ksmvr.
  • With the gear distributed Ulrien points out that the Horns might want to see if they could be recertified as Gold-rank by the guild. But before the conversation progresses Typhenous begins to offer trades for some of the Horns' gear. Revi and Seborn also begin to make offers for other items but Ulrien gets them to ease off.
  • Typhenous thinks that it would be good to celebrate the Horns' haul and Jelaqua has Erin roll out the kegs so they can party. Some of the people from Liscor had somehow heard about the party and join in, then the door to Celum opens and Octavia joins in too. Ryoka tries to ask Erin about the door but she's too busy serving everyone. She sees Erin about to cook a raw steak that's been sitting out for a while before Erin tells her that she's gotten a new skill that keeps it from going off.
  • Garia and Fals arrive sometime during the party but Erin's too busy to talk to them or Ryoka. Erin worries about where Ryoka is going to sleep but Lyonette offers for her to join her and Mrsha. Once the partiy's over the two Earthers agree to talk the next day. As Ryoka heads to bed Erin, despite her tiredness continues to tidy up. Lyonette tells Ryoka about what happened on Christmas and Ryoka realises what she needs to do in the morning.
