Vive la Résurrection!

In Yartar:
As Beranhond left Yartar the morning of the 28th, he began to look forward to seeing his friends again. Riding hard, he hoped to make it to Silverymoon by the evening of the 30th, and so he rode quite hard, making 40 miles per day.

In Silverymoon, May 30th, 2:15 PM:
At the Stagstand: Darvin and Talathel saw that their stones began glowing. Talathel's glowed bright pink, and Darvin's was a deep blue glow. Upon holding it in their hands, they became aware of the Headmistress's voice, and she told them that Nym was in the city, and told them about the resurrection ceremony the next day. Darvin asked about Nym's current whereabouts, but the Headmistress didn't know where Nym was staying and was therefore honestly unable to give them any more information. Darvin thanked the woman for her information, and expressed his intent to attend the ceremony the following day. When the stones stopped glowing, Thjodolf stood up and told both Darvin and Talathel that he was going gambling. It had been a long time since he last played a game of chance, and he figured with the luck he was having, he should do pretty well. Darvin was too excited to concentrate, so turned him down, and Talathel was already well into his drinks and decided he would stay where he was until nightfall.

Silverymoon, May 30th, 6:20 PM:
Beranhond arrived in town before the sun set and in plenty of time to find lodging at Solar's Smiling Satyr, a tavern close to the school. In the area around the school, there was a lot of talk about Nym and the resurrection ceremony the next morning, and Beranhond quickly found out when and where he would need to be in order to find his companions.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 6:30 AM:
At the Wayward House: As soon as Nym woke up, she began tingling with anticipation and trepidation. How would her friends react to seeing her so much older than they remembered? How would they take the resurrection? Would the ceremony be too public? How was it all going to happen? She got up and paced nervously, Piper peering at her curiously before snuggling down and going back to sleep for a bit longer.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 7:00 AM:
At Solar's Smiling Satyr: Beranhond awoke and went through the ritual of his morning devotions, preparing himself for the day. He smiled when Tigrisclawu stretched and asked him, "When do we get to see the woman who calls me meowface?" 

Silverymoon, May 31st, 7:30 AM:
At the Stagstand: Darvin woke Talathel and Thjodolf up. Thjodolf reported he had done very well at dice the night before, earning 25 gp. Talathel reported he'd done very well at drinking the night before, convincing three different strangers to buy him rum. Darvin listened somewhat patiently to his two companions as he twiddled with his sword hilts and tried not to think about what he was going to do today. Eventually, he lost his patience, and simply told his two friends, "I can't stand this any longer. I'm going. Be at the school by 8:30 to see the ceremony." Thjodolf and Talathel agreed, and continued talking as they headed down to the common room for a bite of breakfast.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 8:00 AM:
At the school: Nym was the first to arrive at the school, and headed straight for the Headmistress's office. After talking to her about what the ceremony was going to be like, she found out that Wayrn had been successfully resurrected the day before, and that both he and she would have a place in the ceremony. Nym asked to see Wayrn, but was told that he was still recovering a bit and it would be best for his recovery for him to be alone a bit longer. The ceremony would be enough of a strain as it was. Nym acquiesced, and was led to a staff woman of the Lady's College who instructed her in the proper procedure for the ceremony and how exactly she was to participate. The woman assured Nym that everything would be fine, and she shouldn't worry.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 8:05 AM:
At the school: When Darvin arrived at the small amphitheatre where the ceremony was to be held, there were still students and staff setting up for the event. He was the first one there, and looked around anxiously for Nym. Not wanting terribly badly to run into Mashy, he kept away from most of those setting up, and walked around a bit more until the setup was done and others began showing up.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 8:10 AM:
At the school: Beranhond was the next of the group to arrive. He found his way to the seats and was surprised to find Darvin pacing outside the seating area. He went up to Darvin and said, "Hello. I thought I might find you here." And as Darvin spun around to meet the voice, his face was a mixture of surprise and joy. The two found seats at the edge of the amphitheatre, so that Talathel and Thjodolf could easily find them and join them, and they saved a seat for Nym too, if they should happen to find her in time to offer her a seat.

Silverymoon, May 31st, 8:20 AM:
At the school: Talathel and Thjodolf arrived at the amphitheatre, having eaten a quick breakfast. They found Darvin and Beranhond, and as they headed to their seats, Darvin spotted Nym walking up to the stage area. She walked onto the stage, opposite a male human in his late teens, (Wayrn) they both bowed to each other, emotion contorting both of their features slightly, as each tried to smile bravely at the other, then turned and walked away from each other, down the stairs at either side of the stage, stopping at the bottom of the steps. Nym was standing facing the amphitheatre, though her eyes weren't really focused on the people in front of her. Instead, she was looking at the man across from her. Nym stood straight down the aisle from where Darvin, Beranhond, Talathel, and Thjodolf were sitting.

The ceremony will begin at 8:30 AM.

  1. Can I add "Convincing people to buy me drinks" as a skill. I'm practically a +5.

  2. I would say that you have enough experience to get a +2 on diplomacy when used in that manner. :) Go for it.
