Octava Twenty Third - Night

Blue Grove is indeed lovely. I should really travel this way more often… it’s rather relaxing. (That is if you ignore the paranoia of being attacked by mutated bats or brainwashed knights fighting for the ‘greater good’!) We had lunch in a tavern known as Cerulean Spirits. It was small, but did have some patrons. It also had a stage, which I put to some use after a nice lunch.

A young lady who introduced herself as Zyren must have found the music to her liking… she danced through much of it. Apparently our friend, Jibb found her to his liking, because he spent much of his time flirting shamelessly with the gal. Jen acted a bit strange though… when I returned to the table, Zyren complimented my performance, and then mentioned something to Jen about her husband… and the silly woman didn’t deny it! She obviously had something on her mind… something important. Jen of all people wouldn’t just play at being married for no good reason, so I went along with it. Apparently Kirin is our child too… I’m confused, but hey. Welcome to my life!

Again, there was plenty of daylight left for traveling, and as the days go on it is only getting colder, so we decided not to stick around in town. Perhaps we should have. We were attacked by the dark creatures again. As it would turn out, they have a severe dislike for light. Kirin managed to knock one out of the sky, and Jen cast a quick light spell on it. The thing writhed and made the most hideous sound! Kaiden, thinking quickly as always, kicked the pitiful creature into the fire. It was gone in mere moments! We’ll have to keep that in mind for the future.

To top off the run of specatcular luck, the oh so needy Mr. Jibb managed to walk away with all of our cash. I guess it'll mean we'll have to stay in some places a bit longer... I'll need more time to play if I am going to make enough for us to keep getting supplies along the way. Oh well. Things could definately be worse.
