Session 164 A Beautiful Day

Grug and Zorla were super brave and stood in front. The group was honestly so nice to let me borrow their water and cup to turn it into firewater. I’ll have to thank them later. This is crazy that this is my first official fight, and my hands can’t stop shaking from fear and excitement. I honestly just want to run away from the zombies, but I can’t leave my friends behind. They’ve done so much for me already, and I’m so grateful.

Oil flies by us after I cast firewater, and the zombies just go up in flames. It’s scary, but the group holds firm. After a while, Contristo throws some knives or daggers or something dangerous like that, and they accidentally hit Grug.

.

Poor Grug! I’m sure Contristo feels so bad about it, so I’ll have to ask if he’s okay and make sure he doesn’t feel too guilty. I’m quite worried about Grug, and the only thing I can think of is healing my friend.  

We stop the zombies, and my heart hurts when I think about how they used to be living people just like us.

.

They had feelings, emotions, and everything! I’m trying not to cry just from the thought of it all. The group is extremely respectful to the bodies and tries their best to find them a final resting place.

/

They place the bodies in a room and try to mark the door, so that no one else can get hurt. I never would have thought about marking the door. I remain quiet for a moment to say a silent prayer in my head for the dead.

We carry Elmo back to his father, and I nearly start sobbing with him when he breaks down in tears. I never knew how hard being an adventurer could be. People get hurt, and I just want to save all of them. I try to comfort him the best I can, but I don’t think it would ever be enough. He offers us money, but it feels wrong to take money for doing the right thing. He tells us he will pay us more if we return with Elmo’s things, but I don’t think I’ll take the money next time. I’ll probably just give it back to him or donate it to some sort of charity. I’m excited to help these people. I just really hope I can make a difference somehow.

We head back to the inn, and I have a super awesome conversation with Morwenna. She’s so cool! We talk about how her dad owns a shop that sells buttons and clothes, which I get super excited about. I love sewing and making clothes. I think that’s something we can totally bond over. I can’t wait to get to know my friends better throughout our adventure, and I feel like our first time as a group went pretty well. Everyone was extra careful when we set up our plan with the zombies. I think we all get along great!

To be honest though, I’m scared to go back to that mote house, but I know I need to learn to be brave. I can’t wait for our next adventure and for us to save Hommlet!
