Zelda Nekked; Quentyn Recovers

Nict: WHYYYYYYYY!?! What is seen, can not be unseen! Zelda stands before me in all her... glory, & I do my best to speak to her without looking at her for the sake of my sanity. She asks about Dario, & I tell her that he is at the inn. She sprints for the inn while Thad & I take a much more leisurely pace back. After receiving medical attention, Quentyn recovers over the evening.

The next morning, I alter Thad's appearance so as not to cause a commotion in town. As I go down to talk to Quentyn, he goes with Helena to worship their god of Justice. After almost an hour, I remember my spell will have faded. I run to the shrine room & find that Thad has already returned to his half-orc self, & Helena is with him. They seem to have come to an understanding about his nature.

Goblin Bloodsport

Nict: We travel north to Alpis & stop as we hear a scream. It turns out to be a goblin that has fallen from a tree... with the help of some arrows. We speak with the goblins who have attacked what we discover is one of their fellows, & it turns out hunting each other is part of a blood sport game they play. They also seem to be Quentyn's information source. They also seem to know more than they have been telling Quentyn. Most of us are uninterested in their games, but Dario is angered by the idea of blood sport so he hurries to stop it. I decide to help & bust up one of the goblins so they can't double team Dario. The goblin kicks me in my soft bits & runs away before I can retaliate with a club to the head. After that we decide to move on to Alpis.

In the city, we talk to the leader of the city watch. He doesn't seem to believe us even when we give proof of the orc threat. I tag along with Thad to keep him disguised, but when he retires to his room, I go back to the city & pray to Selene for safe travels, speak to travelers about how Colonel Major's & my family's caravans fare, & to find any information on our mysterious benefactor or the Lord of Fort Jonston...
