Chapter 1.1: It's Dangerous to go Alone...

Garn gladly takes the greatsword, inspecting it's craftsmanship.

I go towards the pile, inspecting the remaining items...

I hand out the remaining items to each party member, keeping the short sword to myself. Then, I take a few practice swings with it, slashing at the air or at the nearest target I can find.

Toshi hangs back. Even though this group has shown him more acceptance of his race than anyone ever has, he still feels like an outsider. He watches intently as each person takes one of Franae's gifts.

Hegy nods to Xulara as she hands her the corset before sitting crosslegged on the floor to inspect it. With Denevér on her shoulder the two silently communicate as they try to determine the source of the obvious witchcraft which permeates from the garment. After a few long minutes Hegy stands, removes her robes, fastens the corset in place, and gets dressed.

"We should rescue dragons every day!"

"Given the treacherous plan afoot that might be required."

Maia mutters her impressed thanks, both to Xulara for distributing the items and to Franae for providing them. She dons the small circlet and gently hangs the amulet about Istariel's neck. She nods, contented, but looks a bit conflicted for a moment.
