Travel interludes

As the caravan continues on its journey down the Long Road, the characters have conversations. I'm starting it late, but this is where characters can converse, separate/in parallel to the action of any encounters that happen during the course of the trip. Player characters are encouraged to jump in and respond or interject at any point in the conversations.

This conversation takes place on the evening of the day that the party encountered the giant spiders, and put out the fire on Dugal's wagon: the 13th day on the road.

That day, Adran had foraged and Elowin had hunted, and together they provided a bunch of greens (mostly watercress and miner's lettuce), roots (daikon), and fowl (three partridges).
Jalon grins appreciatively, showing all his teeth as dragonborn do when they try to approximate that mammalian expression. "Thank you for the meat. I don't know what I'm going to do with all this...make a stew, I suppose."

Turighe smiles handsomely at Swelvie. "Mistress Swelvie, please don't feel slighted. I am always happy to provide a beautiful woman some masculine companionship!"And sometimes only there.
Swelvie, you do know that not all men know how a woman wants to be touched, but all women know how women like to be touched. Elowin smiles at Swelvie and returns to her stew.

Princess doing her best not get into the matters of Swelvie and gives Turighe a comforting smile.
Princess breaks from her dear shawm playing, "Yeah Smoke. I'm kinda limited in there. Caravans just don't give me all the world quite." before she takes back up her shawm playing. She breaks ever so often to drink too.

The problem with Turighe, as far as Princess has been able to determine over nearly two weeks, is that he's so enthusiastic about everything. Is he flirting, or just being complimentary, when he says "Why would anyone limit themselves to just one type of people, when there are so many fascinating people to befriend everywhere?" He raises his cup in another toast. "Here's to all the beautiful people, here in this caravan, and all over the world!"

With cup grasped in gauntleted hand, the Braveless one takes a swig and joins the toast!
Yes, this is a good group. I’m glad to be part of your company. Of all the caravanning I’ve done in mercenary years, this one is certainly the most…well, eventful! Ha, ha!
Bram banters and bellows with good company. With cup grasped in one hand…and his other hand, habitually reaching into his cloak pocket. And just feeling for…his silver token. And for just a moment, to perceptive friends, his smile turns to a look of distracted wonderment.

Princess smiles and adds as she sips from her cup for toast, "And more tales to be told. And moments to enjoy."

Adran, who had been away from the others, approaches as he's tucking his thieves' tools back into their pouch. A faint sound of the ocean can be heard, muffled but growing louder as he moves closer.
Taking a seat next to Gunter, he elbows his friend and smiles before opening his clenched fist. The realization that he holds a copper coin is second to the sound of ocean waves, soothing and rhythmic. The sound isn't loud and is easily talked over, but everyone at the fire can hear it clearly.
"It's better this time, it isn't so loud. Might help you sleep."
Turning to the others, he offers a shrug. "I see this all as an opportunity. There was no future behind us... I think we all know that, even if we don't want to admit it aloud. By leaving, we all have a chance we didn't have before."

Morik was in a reflective mood and stayed quiet listening to the banter, though he raised his cup in agreement to the toast. They were quite right, a single place with a single type of people was not the kind of place he’d like to stay at for very long. Different folks, different cultures, different food, different danger, different everything, that was livinf.

Findal nods in vigorous agreement to Adran's statement about opportunity, and kar'Javon says "I'll drink to that!" with a laugh.
Findal is clearly very interested in Adran's coin, too. "How did you do that?"

Adran turns to Findal. "Oh this? I grew up tinkering with things when I wasn't wandering the forests. Over time, I got a bit better. The details are what will trip you up though. You have to..." And with that, Adran will break into an explanation about being an artificer.
