Downtime
Being the Months of Felarod & Perryn
Brev Two months later.
Late in the month of Perryn, the friends are glad they decided to see the winter out in the warmth of Illyra's family home. It had been a bitter winter & despite the approach of spring it remains bitterly cold.
During the months of Felarod & Perryn the friends have pursued personnel interests but through the home hearth of Illyra have kept in regular contact.
Tharla - Takes employment, under false name, at an inn, the Broken Doll, close to sky city garrison. Generally she keeps her head down listening for news of events beyond Brev as well any mention of Synalon's search for a group of travellers. Over the months she learns of Kara-Est's attempts to parley with the Sky City, Bilsinx's capitulation during the previous month, Felarod, the impending doom of Thailot & the ongoing refusal of the island state of Wirix to succumb. She also hears, more than once, of the supposed alliance between Morianna & the remnants of the Zr'gsu. Lodging away from the others they meet as & when she feels the need to talk.
Molin & Brasso - These two reprobates team up & general spend the winter months whoring & carousing their way across the city interspersed with the occasional bout of door keeping, bouncing & as body guards, they gain some small infamy as being heavy but fair, even to the extent that it costs them personally on occaision. When sober they do spend some time on respective trades exchanging techniques & trade secrets.
Illyra - Family takes up much of Illyra's time & it is not always easy. Along with her own observations & those of her friends she begins to suspect that her brother-in-law is involved in some kind of resistance movement. Her "stump" is now sprouting a new arm following a successful use of the translated scroll of regeneration, although she is disappointed at how long it is taking, her best guess is that she will have full use by the end of Avalys. She has also spent some time searching out a mystic & consequently has now gained the power of mind speech, although initially it did seemed to take a heavy toll on her mind, she now however seems fully recovered, if not somewhat withdrawn & distant.
Kilite- Kilite has spent a great deal of his time at study of the holy scripts of Jirre, assisting with the daily requirements of the house of his mistress & honing his use of the quarter staff.
In addition to the above, the group have also heard rumours pertaining to orcish atrocities, although other rumours refer to the decimation of the war party as they remained in Samadum by a large force of mercenaries & sky city riders & infantry.
