Head back to camp, of course! Happy as you are that Rezalith doesn’t plan on flying the coop any time soon, your stomach loudly reminds you that it has needs too! You’re gonna head back to camp, you explain with an embarrassed smile, but hey… if she ever feels like ‘showing off’ how much she knows about friendship, you’ll be happy to hear her out!
“Oh-ho~ already trying to curry favor, are we?” Purrs the demon with a flick of her tail! “Wise indeed, Anton… I’ll soon be up to my horns in loyal friends… who knows if I’ll even have time for you?”
Well until that magical day comes, you sigh, you just thought you’d let her know a few things that Volka likes: standing up for others, fighting injustice, and good cooking!
The devil smirks at your hints until you reach the last one… it’s nigh-imperceptible, but you spot a faint quiver in the hellion’s eye!
“Ah yes, we were well-aware of these details already…” Rezzie nods with a flap of her wings! “But your loyalty has been noted… now run along–I must <span class="mu-i">plan</span> before making my triumphant return…”
You want to say ‘bye’, but the fun-sized fiend bats you away with her wings and tail until you flee! At least she’s in a better mood, right? Aside from a few falls and a harrowing encounter with a small, hissing, and very pinchy creature, the trek back to base camp is relatively easy!
As you enter the clearing, you’re greeted by the welcoming scent of a campfire and a gentle tune from Tzah-Tzie’s Striilii! Hearing you approach, the minuscule musician sends a warm smile your way as she continues to play…
“Heyyy, there he is! A minute longer and I was gonna’ come after ya!”
Delivering a good-natured smack to your back that sends you sprawling onto the moss, Volka dutifully picks you up with her muscular tail as she dumps some fresh fuel next to the fire! “Didja’... find Rezalith?”
Yea, you nod, and you talked a bit. She ain’t leaving! Both girls tense up at your declaration, but their expressions turn a bit calmer when they hear the news.
“I ain’t… I ain’t gonna harp on it, Rook,” Sighs the Skog as she pokes the flames with a stick, “But we got real lucky back there… and when you didn’t wake up we all got a little worried an-”
It’s fine, you sigh, you’re not too pleased with how it went either… but if you’re put between a rock and a hard place, you might as well punch and bite the hell outta’ the hard place, right?
“Heh! Couldn’t’a said it better myself!” Volka laughs as her tail smacks the ground! “Anywho, got a pot over the flames–reckon we can heat up some rations today an’ start really hunting tomorrow.”
“Gonna be a long walk…” Groans TT as she flops onto her side mid-strum! “Gotta’ head South…”
Settling in next to the roaring flames, you decide to…
>Take a swing at cooking!
>Speak to Volka!
>Check in with TT!
>Ask about the journey!
>Write-In!
