She nods, "Yeah, but at least with a horse we don't have to worry about building a litter and dragging him....that would be far more difficult. I think they're down in the bathing area now, so I'm gonna pop over to the sleeping area and get stuff packed up there. Enjoy your breakfast." Nodding to the both of them she gets up and heads to the women's sleeping area to fold things up and finish packing.

Ylrhea turns to Sādhanā after swallowing a mouthful of oatmeal. "We really need to have a party or something to lighten up the mood when we get back to Valwick."
"That would be a welcome change of pace, something to remind us of all the good things we're working so hard to protect. Besides, if the effects of restoring the tower are as noticeable as they seem to think they will be, the mood when we get back should be pretty celebratory." Sādhanā replies before eating another spoonful herself.
Ylrhea smiles and finishes her bowl. "I'm hoping so."
Cyna dips into the water and starts to scrub the dirt from her feet. With some hesitation she opens up to Sienna. "Even when I was little I had this... darkness inside of me. Instinct would be the best way to describe it. The drive to do bad things, to lie and steal to be violent. I thought I had overcome it, but yesterday I realized that wasn't the case. That it still loomed over me, just waiting for the right time."
Sienna nods. "We seem to have a darker part to ourselves...I mean, tieflings. Is that what you didn't want to tell me?"
"So an I love."
Finishing her oatmeal, Sādhanā cocks her head to the side, thinking. "Huh...I just realized that in the chaos, I haven't refocused my magic for the morning, I've been working off the magic I prepared yesterday, so I'll be able to start us off with a horse today."
Ylrhea takes Sādhanā's bowl and kisses her tenderly. "I hope I'm not distracting you too much."
"Never." she replies kissing her back. "I'll never get tired of doing that." she says with a wink.
"The morning from hell has been a distraction...you sweetheart are helping me keep my wits." she cringes slightly, at her own choice of words, thinking of Drago.
Ylrhea sighs and nods. "I'd appreciate no more morning calls from Abaddon."
"I'll go get my spellbook and sit with Drago while I study if you want to help Arista pack up our stuff." Sādhanā says standing up and stretching.
"Sure, let me clean up these few things first," Ylrhea says, pushing a chair over to the sink.
You gather your belongings and make your way out of the bath house once more. Curiously, you see a familiar half-elf ahead of you. Rivell approaches with several other people you have not met before. "Ah...good morning..."
Cyna touches the healed wound on her ear. "She got the better of me..."

Cocking her head to the side she regards Rivell with a slight nod, "Well....it's been a bit strained for us....but, how are you? Are these the folks you were speaking of before?"
Rivell nods at Arista. "Yes, these are my companions. The gods guided them my way. Perhaps they knew that we would have to come back at this time. So...I see the battle has taken its toll."
The half-elf nods at Drago. "Will he be alright?"
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU B!@~$!" Drago screamed in his sleep.
Rivell raises an eyebrow at Drago's outburst.
She sighs and shakes her head, "We ran into some kind of Daemon that delights in torturing others. Drago here already has a....difficult past, and she....she used some kind of spell on him and made him go mad....so, he's a little insane now. There isn't anything I can do for him to make it better and we can't fight Vencious with him like this...so, we are left with little choice but to take him back to either the Nymph...or...or back all the way to Siphas to find someone that can cure it. I...I couldn't do anything but just watch as she tormented him....but we ended her." Near the end of her statement her tone takes on a slightly darker tone as she thinks about what the daemon did to Drago.
"Yeah, she cast a full blown Insanity spell on him, so his mind is broken far beyond out ability to fix, I had to bring him to the brink of death just so that we'd be safe around him and be able to transport him." Sādhanā adds
Rivell nods. "I wish there was something I could do to help. There has been a lot of activity in the area, so I thought I and my fellows should come back, perhaps assist in holding the bridge."
Laying a hand on his arm she gives him a reassuring smile, "It's alright....well...nothing about this is alright really...but, it means a lot that you all came back to help us hold this position. That Daemon chick turned part of the bridge into a giant death trap...but, I think we have that taken care of..." She smiles back at Rhea, "That's right ain't it Rhea?"
Looking back at Rivell she says, "We'll get him some help and be back just as soon as we can."
Ylrhea smiles and nods.
"Do what you need to, we shall be here when you return," Rivell says with a small smile. He and the others head inside the bath house.
"Just avoid that section over there." Sādhanā says indicating the point where they faced they laid down the charges."We left an explosive welcome for them if they approach from that direction."
Rivell turns and nods at the magus. "Be safe."
"Ylrhea, do you want to ride at least part of the way to keep an eye on him, love?"
After Rivell heads to the bath house, the gnome turns to Sādhanā. "Alright, let's go."
"All right ladies, let's see how far we can get while we have daylight, Sādhanā says leading the party back across the bridge, guiding the horse by its reigns.

Sienna takes Cyna's hand in hers and starts walking. "If we keep this up, we'll never be fat."
Your travel is safe and uneventful. You find yourselves in the nymph's woods once more as the sun begins to set.
Sienna takes Cyna's hand in hers and starts walking. "If we keep this up, we'll never be fat."
Arista rubs her hand subconsciously where her ring of sustenance had once been. "Yeah...there's that....maybe it'll help me walk off some of this mad I've been feelin' too. Besides, the exercise is good for the baby right?"
"It is," Sienna says with a smile.
"Ok, sun's going down and last time I was here....well technically it didn't really happen but I still kinda remember it...I fought Reinhardt" Sādhanā says with a bit of a frown.
Arista pulls out her blade, "Reinhardt?! Where?! I'll cut that bastard in half and cook him for dinner!" She looks around, as if expecting him to come popping out of the brush at any second.
"Eww..." Ylrhea says from atop the horse.
"Yeah, I think I draw the line at wearing his hide." Sādhanā says with a chuckle.
"She's so hungry she's gonna eat people! Head for the hills!" Sienna exclaims.
She looks around for a minute before it dawns on her and she puts away her sword, "Sorry...sorry....stupid hormones. Not like he's a people anyways...." She mumbles more quietly to herself.
