24th of Goodmonth (continued...)
The group is trying to decide what to do with the loot that survived the trip over the bridge. They closely examine the treasure that did NOT end up in the river. They do so near the North gates of the town.
Lance announces he has the "urge" to study and leaves the group to head toward the church. Alora elects to go with him. The rest of the party discusses Lance and his recent smartness. This leads to general speculation about the loss of Pandora's shadow, Leon's hunger for raw meat, and the lack of paladinhood affecting Preece and Lance.
The group decides that they should stash the chest at Leon's parent's place. They invite Snape along for supper and get some meat pies from Branwitch Muffins to take home. The party asks about Leon's family. He reveals he is the second son of seven children. "Yeah, Manfred done moved out, then there's Natalie, no wait, Natalie's dead, Tuennin (Tune in), Debrea (deb Bray ya), Louis, Marilyn. Ma and Pa's names, as you know, are Barbea (Bar Bray ya) and Lynyrd. Oh, and don't forget Grampa.
On the way to leon's farm, Sabrina spys a figure hiding out behind a tree, watching the party walk along to Leon's farm. She casually points the person out to the party. Jarel lets out a hardy "Hello!" and spooks the figure, which skitters into the bushes. Sabrina has to talk Pandora out of following the figure, even though Pandora never actually caught a glimpse of them. As they walk a bit more, Jarel stops and says, "I didn't even THINK to detect evil on that guy".
The party has a good supper, despite listening to Leon's mother berate him (again), "Leon, why did I have to hear from Kalidra Barber that you died? And what are you doing going off and dying like that?!"
Jarel says, "Ma'am, he didn't try and die, and we tried to save him."
"I don't think I approve of you rushing around killing frogs. Frogs!"
Jarel replies, "Well these frogs would have been rushing around killing other people in town if we hadn't done anything."
Sabrina interjects, "They came out of the flood. Did you not see anything?"
"There were no frogs out here at the farm."
Leon says, "That's good to know."
"It goes to prove what I've always said, Lynyrd, its safer living out here in the country than in that darn town."
Pandora agrees, "Yeah, there's a lot of bad people in town. A lot of riff raff there."
Leon casually keeps his hands under the table where his mother cannot see his lack of fingers.
Pandora says, "That's a terrible thing to do to your Mom, Leon."
Mom has the final word in the matter, saying, "If you go and die again Leon, I will kill you!"
"Yes, Mom."
She turns a kind face towards Snape and says, "More pie, Mr. Snape?"
Snape answers in a somewhat neutral tone, "Sure. Thanks. Appreciate it."
Jarel asks conversationally, "You haven't noticed anyone sneaking around your place lately, have you?"
Sabrina remebers the skulking figure and takes a renewed interest in the supper conversation, Ohh, yeahh."
Pandora turns to Sabrina at the sound of her voice and says, "Did you say it was a little person?"
Sabrina replies, "No it was a human-sized person."
Leon's mother starts to reply, "No, there haven't been any weird...oh wait, there was that one stinky fella. Last week." She pauses to reflect for a moment.
Jarel and Sabrina prompt at the same time, "Stinky fella?"
Leon's mother turns to Leon's father and aks, "Lynyrd, didn't you tell me about a stinky fella
Lyryd clears his throat, apparently pleased with the opportunity to talk. "Well, yeah, there wa sthis fella down by the road there, and he warn't sneakin', he were just really smelly. And he had his hood up."
Pandora asks, "First time you've ever seen him?"
Lynyrd answers, "Never saw him before, never saw him since."
Jarel asks, "Did you talk to him or anything?"
Lynyrd responds in a disgusted tone, "Naw, he was really smelly. Gave me the creeps."
Jarel tells the Vespers, "There was somebody who was...who we think was following us or curious about us anyway on the way out here."
Pandora adds, "On the road out here."
Jarel continues, "And he ran away as soon as we said anything."
Lynyrd asks, "Was he wearin' a brown hood?"
and Pandora reponds, "No, it was a green hood."
"Oh," said Lynyrd. "Weeell, mebbe he's got two hoods. Did he stink?"
Sabrina says, "He didn't smell though."
Jarel asks, "Any problems around here? Aside from the flood, of course?"
Lynyrd answers, "Yeah, that there flood has been keeping me pretty busy. Could use an extra hand around here what with Leon off 'venturin' and stuff. That's OK, though, Grampa got out hsi shovel and was out there helpin', althritis and all. Don't you worry 'bout things Leon, we got it handled.
Leon says, "I hear you been gettin' really good sales for wood since the flood, too. What with them needin' so much for the bridge."
Lynyrd nods.
"Manfred mus be doin' well too on his cuttin'"
"We can hardly keep up. May have to start cuttin' down that old forest."
From the Journal of Leon Vespers:
Well we stay at the homestead last night, woke up to Ma cooking up a storm. Griddlecakes and chokecherry syrup. I plum just love the way she makes the spring bottled raspberries’ balance the tartness of the Choke cherries. GrandPa even had fresh cream churned up. Pa had us turn the hay in the hayloft to keep it fresh and dry if we are back tonight. Promised Ma we bring some vittles back if we came back tonight. We are making progress in that Ruin.
