Flora after getting ready for bed and getting tucked in by Woody says to him "Do you really think we'll see those Pirates in town tomorrow, Woody? From what I've read from books like Treasure Island that pirates like to hide their treasure on islands and bury them. I don't think they would come to a port town like the one Mr Buckey is at unless they are seeking something really important. Maybe we'll miss them but its good to be careful. Well, Good night. I'll see you in the morning. "
She then goes to sleep after wishing Woody, Ollie, and Tink good night.

Woody smiles at Flora, "Thanks little sis." Then he heads out to the living room to meditate while everyone sleeps.
Somewhere around 3am, he gets up and gets all the stuff ready to go. Then he starts breakfast by gathering eggs and milk.

@Basil,@Seck What is Ollie and Tink during the night up to the next morning before breakfast? Just curious.

Tink thanks Woody for get everything ready so the rest of us can get to sleep. Before bed Tink asks Ollie if he has read anything about pirates.
"Like is there anything that could help us if we do meet some Ollie? Maybe they are scared of pixies or crocodiles or something."

Looking up from rather odd looking book of bark and leaves, Ollie Perks up,
"I’ve met a few pirates. There not so bad. Strangely a lot of pirates can’t swim and are afraid of deep water. Weird huh? I guess that makes them pretty brave really. When Captain Dan and the crew came to visit we had a good time. He told me a few things about being a pirate, like how everyone is equal and everyone gets an equal share of the treasure, and the cool places they got to visit, and no one telling them what to do. Captain Dan even had an Orc on his crew! He told me I was old enough to be a part of his crew but father didn’t think so.

Ollie is being raised in a Thieves Gulid after all!May 15, 2023 1:15 pm
After your conversation about Pirates comes to a close, and everyone goes to sleep, you all get the benefits of a long rest and wake up to the sun shining through your window. As it is a new day, what is everyone doing before you begin your day with breakfast?

Flora wakes up quietly not waking anyone else up and makes her bed before she goes to bathe and get ready for breakfast. It only takes her a few minutes to get ready before she goes and greets Woody in the kitchen.
"Morning Woody! I can't wait for our town trip today. Breakfast smells good. " She tells him after sitting down with a smile.

Put together our weapons and gear, set them by the door, collected the eggs and milk for breakfast, and helped grandma Sophie till the others got up and ready to eat.

Grandmother Sophie thanks Woody for the help and gives him a silk pouch and says "Take this with you. If you happen to be stuck in town when night falls, I have money for you all to stay at an inn for the night. Stay safe and take care of each other today."
In the pouch is 100 platinum. It's more than enough money for refreshments, a night at the inn and whatever else you think you might need.

Woody takes the pouch, feeling the weight but not looking inside. "Thanks, I'll look out for them." He heads out the door and privately looks in the pouch. He's amazed, having never held this much money in his life, he's now apprehensive about keeping it safe. Heading into the barn he ties the pouch with a bit of leather strap and puts it in the bottom of his pack.

Ollie will take 1 level of exhaustion then from doing that @Basil. The exhaustion will go away your next long rest. May 17, 2023 2:52 am
"Yeah, Ollie. You need to read in daytime and sleep more at night." Woody says this with bits of egg flying out of his mouth as he hastily shovels more in. "We will be staying in the woods, off the trail most of the time so we won't be taking the horse. Make sure you fill your waterskins with cool water before we head out. I'mabout to go fill mine. All you guys'es stuff is by the door." with that he quickly cleans his plate and takes it to wash off.

Tink pipes in, "If Ollie's really tired maybe we should wait a day. I mean, it's gonna be hard to rough it through the woods. Woody's got everything ready for us, so it will be easy to wait and head out tomorrow. Maybe, Captain Kid will be gone by then and we won't even have to worry about pirates and stuff."
Tink is a little disappointed about that thought. Part of him actually wants to see pirates. But since he finally is reunited with Flora and Ollie and now they even have Woody looking after them, Tink feels uneasy about separating. He's scared that something bad will happen to someone, like what happened to Mr. Carlin.
"I don't know. I don't think we should go out there without Ollie."

"How about this? Ollie, you fill your belly and go back to sleep. We'll take care of the daily chores and such. A little before mid day, we'll wake you up. You won't be as good as if you slept straight through all night, but you should be good to make it to town. Grandma Sophie gave me enough coin to stay at an inn, so we can come back tomorrow or the next day."

No..Im Ok....says Ollie before grumbling about elves and their sleeping habits.

"Are you sure you'll be okay, Ollie? " Flora asks him a moment later. "I think you should eat and take a nap and we'll wake you up when it's time to go to town."

"If the boy wants to be exhausted, let him. Exhaustion does take its toll on you in the end though and until you rest, it'll only get worse. I wonder what Captain Kidd is up to anyway." Grandmother Sophie said before she looks into a bowl of fresh cold water and after saying an incantation sees through a golden light.
Through the light she sees a Pirate with a large paunch wearing a leather vest, black tri-corne hat with a skull and crossbones on the front of it wearing a long yellow shirt, a big black belt along his waist, red breeches, a peg leg on his left foot and a shiny black buckled shoe with a gold buckle on it traveling through the Port town with 20 pirates robbing treasure from the local citizens in the town. He then grabbed a wizard from his house and within seconds drained him of every ounce of magic he had. A minute later, he threw the lifeless husk of the pointy hat wizard to the ground and placed all of his magical possessions in his bag with a satisfied smile on his face.
Grandmother Sophie looked horrified at that and let out a large gasp.
Captain Kidd then stopped and began to sniff the air. "Me'thinks there is someone spying on me. Someone with powerful and ancient magic." He says to his crew and runs over to a horses trough and tries to look into the water and see if he can discover the magical scrying.
