He lets Alia sleep off the hangover, bringing her some bread and milk to help. Then he checks on the other rooms with a pull on the handle to see if any are up or awake. With companions or by himself he begins the daily quest.
Luckily she found her bed before passing out. As she woke up to Jock nosing her, she turned and found Angelica in bed with her. It must have gotten hot last night as they were scantily clad. She pulls the blanket up over Angelica as she gets up.
She is not hungover just a little tired, she sits on the floor and begins to quietly pray. With her hour of prayers done, now it's 6 am, she gets up and starts the daily quest. She isn't hungry but gets plenty of water first. She gets behind the inn, where they have been exercising.
Rest for an hour.
Rest for an hour.
Rest for an hour.
6 am to 5 pm!
Zaidel wakes to find himself naked on the floor. His head feels heavy, but otherwise not too bad. The satyr quickly rushes to find his pants and search his pockets for the cellphone. Zaidel turns it on to find..no nude photos of his party members. It slowly dawns on him, that yes, the caydenite cleric was the first one to pass out drunk. His sadness and disappointment are immense. I have shamed myself in front of my god, Zaidel ponders. For several minutes, the cleric just sits on the floor, curled up in a ball of his own disappointment.
"I've got to find a way to toughen myself up, is all." Zaidel quietly says to himself. "Build up my tolerance."
The fey slowly gets dressed, then kneels down to pray for his clerical spells.
Boss. I'm so sorry I failed you. I didn't end up leading the ritual, but being it's first victim. Please know I will try harder in the future. I'm so ashamed. Please give this unworthy satyr cleric spells to help his more stalwart friends.
Zaidel leaves his room to find the others, accepting whatever ribbing they decide to give. Seeing how most of the others are doing another arduous Daily Quest, the satyr just shrugs and also accepts the quest. Others can clearly tell Zaidel's somber mood as he exercises near them.
Once the Daily Quest is complete and the needs of the party are met, Zaidel retreats to the Owl Port Inn and Tavern to look over the relic map. If any Aeria Gloris members wish, the cleric will show them the map, listening to any thoughts they have on it.
Shartash grins showing her lower pure white canines, "Well my dear, I owe my strength to my b@stard of an orc father. Beyond that I have helped with construction, carried a lot of the supplies in for the inn myself. I also keep in form by training, I can't let my skills slack. I could take you to one of our magical places, it should increase your Constitution."[/b] With that said she touches your hand before getting back to work.
Mia gets done about 6, just in time for dinner.
Matthew, Zaidel and Whisper are done about 4, unless Zaidel doesn't stop and get lunch then it would be 3 for him.
Jon gets done by 9 pm.
Food is free for your group, if you ask, the wenches would say, "You took care of those mites and are becoming local heroes. If you can kill the displacer beast that would increase your fame even more! Or you could hunt the ankhegs."
Potion of Bear's endurance and bull strength. It has a label on it.
Stuffed dog toy that looks just like Jock.
1st level wand of your choice, 31 charges.
Mithril shirt, +1,
Curese of Requirement: (unknown) 1. Must eat twice as much food 2. Must be bathed in a vat of acid at least 50 gallons in the vat. It is immune to Acid.
Potion of River Whip
"I could take you to one of our magical places, it should increase your Constitution." With that said she touches your hand before getting back to work.
"Wow! That sounds lovely. Thank you. I have some travel ahead of me tonight. Hopefully I could come back at a decent hour, where we could continue our'discussion'."
About four as he asks for, "Water... Zaidel hit me with water..." Once cooled down, cleaned up through prestidigitation from Zaidel, and lounging in the shade of a tree he asks Zaidel and Whisper, "Should we wait for the others? It looks like Jon is going to take at least a few more hours. I am going up to get Alia and Angelica if they are in there rooms."
It takes him about an hour to get back to Zaidel and Whisper. Alia is positively glowing and Matthew looks smug. He asks the group assembled, "Dinner before we go on a treasure hunt?"
Angelica yawns as she follows the duo down the stairs. Once seated she states, "Well I slept off that hangover, Zaidel how are you doing? Afterall you were the first person out."
She remains silent and stays beside Matthew with a strange smile on her face. ☺️
As the wenches bring them each an ale and a plate of meat and cheese, he then asks, "We didn't order this... ummm thank you?"
After they say their spill, he adds, "Good to know! Thanks again for the food!"
Once the wenches leave he asks Zaidel, "So what do you know about displacer beasts and ankhegs? I think they are magical beasts but cant remember any legends about them. By the way how many more days to accomplish protecing me quest?"
In the blue screen he searches for displacer beast and within 20 miles, then again with Ankheg. He then exclaims, "Yes those quests are difficulty rating C. We likely will need to wait."
He pulls out a wand and asks, "Anyone know what spell is in here?"
Zaidel smiles knowingly at the druid and warden.
Once seated she states, "Well I slept off that hangover, Zaidel how are you doing? Afterall you were the first person out."
"Ahh.", Zaidel tries to recover. "I'm getting better. I need to realize that I'm still a low-level cleric, even with our recent leveling. I guess I still have to learn to crawl, before I can run. But I did the Daily Quest like many others. Honestly, I'm surprised some of us have energy for anything else..but I digress." Again, the cleric smiled a knowing smile. "Um, who lasted the longest?"
Once the wenches leave he asks Zaidel, "So what do you know about displacer beasts and ankhegs? I think they are magical beasts but cant remember any legends about them. By the way how many more days to accomplish protecting me quest?"
"I think we are to keep you alive for a week total." Zaidel ponders. "I believe it's been 5 days of your company. Thanks for sticking around, by the way."
As she walks in she says, "I was one of the last ones still conscious. I think it was between Jean and I. I have new red soled shoes!" She shows the new white sneakers with red laces and soles.
As people begin pulling out items he pulls out a light chain shirt, "I believe it is mithril."
He offers, "Anyone want the mithril shirt? Otherwise I will save it until we get to New Faces."
"Well then congratulations", Zaidel smiled and bowed his head toward the Mia. "May Cayden continue to show his favor toward one of his few paladins. And nice shoes."
The bardic cleric takes out the map to the relic. "Take a look, everyone. Our objective, for those who wish to go. Mind you."
As people begin pulling out items he pulls out a light chain shirt, "I believe it is mithril."
Zaiidel cast identify on the armor.
"it's +1 mithril, but those who wear it are cursed to consume twice as much food, and I think it compels you to bath the armor in acid, but the armor is immune to the acid. Weird."
A bit oblivious she says gracefully, "Thank you Zaidel!"
Once she has ordered a turkey sandwich and potatoes, she returns to the group listening to the planning of the treasure hunt.
With dinner wrapped up and discussion of who was going on the treasure hunt solidified. Jon walks in looking fresh and refreshed. Jon then says, "Daily quest is complete, status recovery used, and clean as a daisy. I think I will turn in early, so no treasure hunt for me." Then he heads over to get something to eat.
It is late but there is still light out in this summer weather.
She offers up as she checks her quiver, "I feel refreshed and have been sleeping most of the day away. So I will come along too."
"Shall we head out then?!" He says as his facial hair has all been shaved away. Leaving the stark white sideburns and coppery top curls. His skin has finally taken on a tan from all the sun exposure though he still lightly glows.
He had been to the store again and you can tell with the assortment of bags and sheathes, he is well prepared.

Jean stumbles down way after the others as he is hung over for the first time ever. He is wearing a pair of pants which is also new for the dragon.
"You are all up already...oh yeah, we can head out I guess. I do not feel like I could eat much anyway." Jean mumbles as he turns to start stumbling towards the door.
She gladly accepts the flavorful and helpful drink from Zaidel. She opens up her green screen as well then saves the points.
With the golden key with a compass in its handle She shows it to Zaidel, "This is what I got from the Loot Box, should we follow it?" She obviously does not recognize the compass and looks a bit bewildered by it.
Since Zaidel didn't help he offers, "Yes, follow the red arrow. The white arrow should be North." He continues to give advice of his previous life and new expertise, to help follow the compass. Eventually finding a chest he motions to the key. With it unlocked you find, , , , , .
He yells, "Eureka!!! You are rich!"
She nods and follows Matthew's directions, then once they find the chest and the riches within, "No, 'we' are rich. I wouldnt have found it without you. Thank you! Lets pull out the coins and divey it up."
18 copper: 5d20 ⇒ (9, 2, 10, 10, 5) = 36,
33 silver: 5d20 ⇒ (17, 17, 12, 18, 2) = 66,
27 1/2 gold: 5d20 ⇒ (9, 6, 7, 19, 14) = 55,
255 gp of gems worth x10: 5d20 ⇒ (17, 4, 7, 8, 15) = 51,
9 platinum: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 2, 8) = 18.
Zaidel congratulates both Mia and Matthew on their winfall.
"Well, let's go", Zaidel says as he leaves the bar and orients himself outside and with the map.
Mia follows and pulls out her compass key to help orient direction.
After the winfall, he replies merrily, "Thanks Zaidel, if anyone needs something let me know."
---
He stands up and secures his scabbard of his greatsword on his bag, he no longer has armor on just a lot of gear. He follows Zaidel's directions.
He attempts to aid Zaidel.
As you leave the town proper a glowing light approaches you. After an excited burst of noise he slows downs his words to say, "Sowhereyou heading?"
Zaidel smiles when he recognizes the voice. "Good evening, Mr. Wyrm Hill! We, are doing a little twilight treasure hunt, so to speak. Feel free to come along with you wish, please?"
You head North, skirt around the Mangrove of Greed, then get to the Elrick Ruins. By now it is dark out and Wyrm Hill offers, "It would be dangerous to continue, though say the word and we can press on."
Zaidel casts dancing lights around him to read the map in the gloom. "Wait! Is that were the map is telling us to go?!"
You open the blessed loot box and find a treasure map. Following the directions and the written locations you see where Owl Port is located and the location of the relic should be a few hours walk to the East of Elrick Manor.
After much talking, running for some, and walking you get back to Owl Port in a couple of hours with your guide clearing a path for you.
The morning seems crisp and cool, and there is plenty of shining sunlight. It seems that the mist has cleared away from the town and the river.
Zaidel looks closer at the map. "No. It looks to be a few hours east of Elrick Manor." The satyr breathes a sigh of relief.
"Say, Team, why I'm thinking of it, I think we need to figure out our next major move. The citizens of Owl Port are happy with our efforts, but bring up their problems with ankheg and displacer beasts. Do we wish to stay and take on these last woes of Owl Port or do we leave them for other adventurers, and continue on to New Faces? Then there's the Mangrove of Greed and the rest of Elrich Manor we could do. I, and maybe Mia, have business in New Faces, but I'll bow to the consensus of the party."
He offers his thoughta on the mattwr, humbly and at a measured pace, "We should get to New Faces as soon as possible to join a Familia. Also there we can learn more about mimics, slimes, trolls, the Mangrove of Greed, displacer beasts, and ankhegs. So now we travel East, does anyone object to pushing on?"
He is twirling his dagger he got back feom Mia.
"Pushing on is fine, I don't think anyone is tired and we are well prepared for most dangers." She bravely answers.
"Well, after the relic hunt, right, guys?!" Zaidel said in a conciliatory way. "Maybe we leave first thing in the morning, huh? Because..uh, I have a hot date after this..so.."
Zaidel offers up a possible change, to leave in the morning.
He agrees with Zaidel and offers up "Sure, starting in the morning would be nice since the mist would not be formed yet. Maybe if we wake up early we can get some of our daily quest done. I am going to head to bed then, Mia stop by my room for a moment if you would."
"Thanks, all!" Zaidel quickly gallops into the inn, and finds the half-orc bartender before the others object.
"Good evening, Shatash. I'm ready when you are." The satyr smiled.
Shatash winks at Zaidel and nods to the other bartender. She gracefully hops the bar with an acrobatic cartwheel and grins at the saytr. Once out of the inn she *hoots* and an owl comes down to land on her bracer. She leads the way out of town to the south.
You have 5 hours left to do your daily quest, if you don't accomplish it a penalty will be applied.
As Zaidel is off she goes after Matthew. Knocking lightly on his door.
Zaidel offers his hand as they walk south.
Welcome to the penalty zone.
Since this is your first time visiting you will start at the lowest difficulty rating.
You must survive 4 hours.
3 hours, 59 minutes, 38 seconds left.
"This would be my first time with a woman so physically fit and strong. Now, the prevailing wisdom says muscular women like to take control in sex. If that is your thing, I have no problem relinquishing control. But I imagine it is difficult to be a strong beautiful woman when some can't see the femininity behind the muscles. So if this little girl wants Daddy to take charge, he can."
By now, the ranger can feel Zaidel's hard member press against her. "The night is our. This time set aside just for us. Let's enjoy it." The satyr leans in and gives Shatash a short passionate kiss.
