Roald agrees with Albert: "Let's regroup and try to find Phil"

The group arrives back where you left Theo, with Lady standing guard over him while his sister is kneeling beside him, hugging him and inquiring about his well being. You can see Theo weakly patting her back and both trying to reassure her he is OK and enquirer about how she is.

At some point you might notice, off in the distance, all around, naked women trying to hide behind tress and bushes and rocks. They look lost and embarrassed more than threatening, but it is strange they have not gone and gotten their clothes.

What do you do?

Norbert slowly walks up to old Berta (probably not much older than his mother, but old since he knew her). "Hey, you may not remember me, but I am Halbert youngest son. We live a mile or so south of you. I don't know what happend her or why. But maybe it's a good idea to get your clothes and leave. There was some evil afoot and I hope these brave men turned the tide here."

Berta looks even more embarrassed when she learns that you know her. "Halbert? Ya?" She agrees, trying to keep the bush between you and her.

"Our clothes are gone." She wails. "Or, at least, that's what young Berta said. But she lies." You know of the famously antagonistic relationship between Berta and her daughter --everyone does-- but all the other women seem to believe 'young Berta' and the more nimble ones who went to check.

"How am I going to explain this?" She asks you. "How am I going to get home?!"

What do you do?

Albert rolls his eyes. "You can't be serious." He says, overhearing the conversation. "So all of you have no clothes?!? Well we're not tailors." He says in quite an annoyed voice. "And we also don't carry around multiple sets of clothes. So I suggest you all grab what greenery you can to cover up and follow us."

He walks up to Limpy to ask him something. "Limpy, where is the nearest house? Can we get to it without having to cross open terrain? Once we get these women inside, we can get clothing to them."

Limpy's attention snaps back to you --he has been distracted by 'lookout duty'. "Hmm..." He says, scratching his chin. "They really have picked the most out of the way place, here. I suppose there is old Gralt's farm a few hours thata way." He points in what you think is the direction opposite to where you came from.

"But this is poor land." He admits. "No one here has 'spare' clothes. Especially for so many ..." he gets distracted again before remembering he is supposed to be a 'hero' or something. "The only place that might have something for them to wear is the baron's?" You estimate that the baron's place is about a day's walk from here, Barky's inn is along that route.

What do you do?

Roald takes the others apart.
''Listen up, we got Theo and his sister, we rescued Lady, we stopped a murder and an evil ceremony. Is it really our job to clothe these women too? I say we let them sort it out on their own while we start searching for Phil. They know these lands better than us anyway.''
Sep 23, 2023 9:46 pm
"I get what you mean Roald." Albert agrees. "But I do feel bad for them. It seems like most were just dumb enough to follow the leader." He is clearly conflicted about the situation. If his friends are the 'good guys', then it makes sense to also rescue these lost women. "You want to just leave them here in the woods, naked?"

Albert might need a bit of persuasion to simply leave without them.
Sep 24, 2023 6:41 am
'' An hour ago they were happy being in the woods naked! I just don't think we can be of value at this point. They are from these parts and probably have friends and family that want to help them. ''
Roald thinks for a moment.

'' How about this: we leave them here while Lady and Limpy go to ask for clothing at nearby farms. Just for a few of them. The women with clothes can on their turn go home and bring more clothes for the ones left behind. That way we help them and are free to search for Phil ''

Roald sees Limpy's eyes sparkle with the thought of being left alone with a bunch of boobs.

'' Maybe Daryl wants to stay behind as well? I rather not have one of us alone searching for the rest''
Sep 25, 2023 6:07 am
"These clothes can't just have disappeared. Neither can Phil have. How about half of us and half of the women search the clothes. The other half searches for Phil." Norbert chips in.

He turns to Lady: "This is not a good time to argue with your mother, where did you see the clothes for the last time?"

He starts moving in the direction of where he found Lady. "Lets start at the beginning. And Roald, maybe some of the women know something about Phil."
Sep 25, 2023 6:30 am
"When we first got here Aunty Nicky had us all remove our clothes and they were... taken away?" Lady explains, not sounding at all embarrassed to be talking about such an act with a bunch of men while half her torso is on display.

"I don't know where." She shrugs --causing Limpy's eyes to track up and down in ardent delight, and Darryl to look away in embarrassment. "I don't know where Auntie Nicki went, I though she would be at the sacrifice. Maybe she has got them?" She does not show any shame at the mention of what they were going to do, but does sound disgusted and angry at it.

What do you do?
Sep 26, 2023 7:54 pm
"Aunty Nicky... " Albert thinks. "Isn't that Olga's sister? Should we go look there?" He wonders out loud. "But we can't bring the women, there are kids there."
OOC:
I'm honestly a bit confused about what we're doing next now. Is finding the clothes important to the story? Or are you trying to have us go that way because it will lead to Phil or something else?
Sep 27, 2023 5:19 am
When you get back, Theo has had a bit of a rest and some water and a little left-over bread and is strong enough to talk in full sentences, even if his sister is still a little... is she drunk? It sure looks that way...

When you fuss about missing Phil he looks sheepish and apologizes for the fib, explaining: "'Phil' is my sister. Theuphilda. We did not think you would let her come along if you knew, and she would no help us with the translation unless we let come... so we lied, to everyone." Daryl looks flabbergasted. Phil smiles beatifically at you all --especially Norbert.

"When I heard that dad was saying she had been taken we tried to go home, but, somehow ended up here. This 'Auntie Nikie' person must have done something to our minds? But I knew you would come and save us."
"We don't think 'Auntie Nicky' is anyone's actual 'aunt'... or sister." The consensus seems to be from everyone you include in the conversation. "She's just called that because... because that is what she told us to call her."

There is some angry muttering about why people followed her, or did what she said, and that devolves into a --obvious-- realization. "Hey! She took our clothes and ran away! Leaving us to do the..." People turn to Theuphilda (Phil for short), "We're right sorry about the whole virgin sacerfice business. Can't imagine how we ever thought that was a good idea or would solve our problems. This 'Nicky' person just seemed so convincing. She tricked us."

What do you do?
Sep 27, 2023 6:23 pm
Albert takes another good look at Theuphilda "How did I not see that before?!? Phil! It is you." He is overwhelmed with relief and gives her a big hug.

"I can't believe that darn Nicky. Why even go through all that trouble?" He says a bit later "Olaf was right to mistrust her."
Sep 28, 2023 4:56 am
Norbert just stares at Phil for a few seconds. Then he sits down and says "I’m just so happy you are OK." He looks around silly when he feels he is blushing and people are looking at him.

"Where do wee go from here? If Nicky is not stopped this might happen again. And this valley wil not be safe. I trust these women not to do this again, but Nicky might find other victims."

"Oh." Phil says, crestfallen at your reaction. "I thought you knew." She is blushing more than you are as she says this and she hides her face.

In light of this revelation some of her previous behavior seems a lot more... 'flirty' than you may have realized.

What do you do?
Sep 30, 2023 8:18 am
Albert looks at Norbert. "I do have an idea about that, actually. We could try to do a cleansing ritual on that altar. With Raynor's fire, we could perhaps neutralize it." He offers. "That way Nicky wouldn't be able to use it anymore. At least I hope."

He looks at the children "But let's get everyone home first."
Sep 30, 2023 8:45 pm
Roald is baffled by Phil's Revelations. Part of him is also angry about the wild goose chase she sent them on.
OOC:
I'm not really sure if Phil was part of the search party for the mayor's daughter. Basically searching for herself.
But his, no, ... her pretty face calms down his angry feelings.

she's still a kid Roald, don't be too hard on her.


After hearing Albert's plan:

'' sounds like a plan Albert, if I can,.. I would like to help. Although I have no clue how to do such a thing. ''
Oct 1, 2023 5:50 am
"So back to the mayor it is then. Maybe I can quickly say hello to mom, once we’re there. You could come along, if you like." That last sentence was only for Phil. If blushing would hurt, Norbert would be dead by now. Even the dog doesn’t know how to behave. It started to hop around Phil but now it keeps her distance whit everyone looking annoyed and confused at her.

"I still don’t understand how the Baron fits into this. And is there more than one? And will he keep out of the village affairs now?"
Oct 1, 2023 6:28 am
- Norbert -

"I would love that." Phil says, her eyes hidden behind long, downcast lashes. She is glad of the dog's antics serving as a distraction so she can hide her intensifying blush by burying her face in the dog's fur.
