Tammytharn gives Galse a hug. She will miss him too.

Saying she will be back soon, She leaves the others to walk back to where the statue of Rachelle is hidden, so she can try casting Break Enchantment

Kalar sits around, awaiting word from the rest of the party. He decides to not head back to the inn for now, as it might cause some difficulties, especially seeing how the others in the inn reacted.

"So, Hrulgin. How are you? Do you know anything about this place at all? And don't worry, as soon as Tammytharn is back, I'll ask her if she's prepared any spells that will be able to heal you."

Rachelle didn't sleep well. She didn't sleep at all in fact. She had been dragged around by the group with no way of interacting with them. She looked on in horror as they melted Gontort, fearing she was next. Thankfully, that didn't happen and instead the group made it out of the castle and they were now in a forest. She wasn't sure how much she liked how Kalar treated her as she wasn't there, but she knew it couldn't be helped. She wondered if she would be like this forever. Her mind drifted, thoughts of an existence as a statue were all very unsettling. Her train of thought was interrupted with a thump. Had something knocked her statue over? The side she fell on ached. It ached, she could feel. She looked around, and at her hands, her moving hands. She was back to normal. She looked up to she Tammytharn grinning a slightly depressed grin. Lynda was following close behind her and Kalar was trying to ask Hrulgin questions to which Hrulgin had no answer. Rachelle was back to being part of the party.

Galse will entrust his quarterstaff to Lynda. They're probably going to need it more than he is. Maybe she can give it to Kalar, he might like chasing a stick around these days. He doesn't have the words to say it, so he tries to give everyone a pat on the back and an appreciative look to let 'em know that he'll miss them too, even if they are all a little crazy.

Away from the rest of the party, Kalar looks around the woods, trying to see if there is anything of interest. He tries to sniff around, seeing (or smelling, rather) if there are any animals or perhaps people around.

"I think we should go to Yvones next, and see what we can learn there about Castle Clover/Amber." Says Tammytharn

Lynda hugs Rachelle. She's quite happy that her ally is no longer entombed in stone, and does not have to remain a rocky decoration piece for the rest of her life.

"I'm glad that you're back." Lynda says.

She then turns to face the rest of the group.

"I agree with Tammytharn. Lets try to make our way to Yvones. We may have a chance of finding the Viper Circled Mirror. Besides, it just...sounds nicer. Though I won't object to going anywhere else."

The group plots a path to Vyones and begins to get their things together for the trip. Talk of leaving Thistlewhistle behind with Galse took place as well as talk of waiting to talk to the other adventurers that the Inn Keeper was talking about.
When asked about the other party members, the Inn Keeper replied, "I'm sorry I guess they didn't come back last night. Someone mentioned they headed towards Vyones." The party took this as a sign of fate. Little did they know, it was much much more.

Lynda felt...unsettled. No doubt these adventurers were after the mirror. She fears that if they acquire the mirror before them...they won't be willing to work together, and the two groups will fight it out to see who gets what items. That is, if they can even find these items. It's somewhat a dumb notion, but then again, they've met many irrational people on their quest who've been all too willing to cut them down.

"If we are to go to Yvones, we must hurry." Lynda says. "These adventurers, we don't know much about them. What if they take the mirror, if it's even there? Whose to say they'll be friendly or willing to work with us? There are so many uncertainties. I could be fearing over nothing, but still. Someone has to think of these things."

"So...are we still going to be off to Yvones?"

"Yes" says Tammytharn. "And we mustn't assume the other adventures are our adversaries, after all, we have a common goal

Rachelle, no longer quite as disoriented from being a statue, goes to hug Tammytharn, and then turns to the rest of the party.

"If we do meet up with the rest of the adventurers, could we at least ask them what they went through in the castle? I'm still really confused about why the gate was closed if other people had gone through before us," she asks. She also hopes that whatever was left of their original group would eventually find their way through the portal as well, now that it was open, but even she knows the chances of that would be slim.

With nothing to do, Kalar manifests the jeweled dagger in his hand. He goes and finds a few appropriately sized branches of adequate wight and begins sharpening them into javelins. They'll be crude, but they should serve well enough.

The party returns to the Inn. They say a final farewell to Galse and an unanswered farewell to Thistlewhistle. Then, they gather the belongings they had left in their rooms and start to head out.
As the party is leaving, the Inn Keeper stops them. "I almost forgot, there was someone else who came from that castle. They call him, The Adamant Woodsman. He came here alone, unlike other groups. He said his group had all died. Having no idea what to do, he's been working as a lumberjack. He's right over there at the bar."
Sitting at the bar, the party sees a huge guy with an Axe on his back. He reminds them of Gontort, but twice the size. He looks shaggy and ready for battle, despite sitting peacefully at a bar, drinking.

The man reaches into his backpack and stuffs a handful of beef jerky into his mouth. When he does he notices the inn-keeper and the weird stranger staring at him. "Is someone talking about me again?!" he shouts, apparently unaware he's doing it. "It looked like a public tree, I tell you!" flies out of his mouth right afterwards, as well as some bits of jerky. Sensing that they probably don't know what he's talking about, he returns to his jerky and beer.

"Greetings, sir." Says Tammytharn. "I am Tammytharn, a cleric of Rao. I know nothing of your tree, but I understand that you are a fellow survivor of Castle Clover"
