@Fading Memory Is there anything you would like to write before I write up a DM post?

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Ah. My apologies. Sometimes I forget that some people don't watch Zee Bashew as much as I do.

Take it to mean that I'm keeping the answer secret for the time being.

@rush99999

Got it. Thank you!

Cascade

Cascade narrowed her gaze even more at the imp when he used the word 'Ohana' when referring to her family and village. While Rala spoke, she clasped her holy symbol and prayed to Deep Sashelas quietly, in an attempt to receive guidance.

Whether she received an answer from her diety or not, she decided to go with her gut and speak up, "Brah. We clearly have different ideas of farming: Wearing dead celestials seems like a great way to invite trouble and chaos,"

She then affirms, "We're not interested in your 'gifts' and deals,"

@rush99999

I'll take that as a 'No'... ^^"

@RoadkilBanana
Alrighty then. Commence work on a character now and I'll bring them in at the start of the next chapter.

@Guardian Angel Haruki
Cascade wouldn't need an Insight check to know that the felidars did indeed die to make these fleeces.

She would need to make a Religion check to prey though.

@rush99999

Would an 11 in Religion help?

Also, @RoadkilBanana if you need any help creating a character, I can certainly help.

@rush99999 Could Cascade roll Insight on the imp when it comes to his answer for her question? She would be trying to gauge if the creatures in question were killed to make those coats.

Also...would it be possible for Cascade to pray to Deep Sashelas for guidance when it comes to this imp? She isn't sure about this situation, and now that he referred her family as 'Ohana' she really doesn't like him.

Cascade

Cascade listens as Aura and Flicker voice their questions and thoughts. Before Flicker's words possibly chase off the imp, Cascade also speaks up, "There's another thing I would like to ask,"

She then points out, "Those 'gifts' you brought for us. I'm picking up faint Celestial energies from them," She then narrowed her gaze and she asked, "Now, why is that?"

She had a feeling that the coats in question were made from celestials. Plus, she had to let her friends know what those gifts are exactly.

I think it would be best for me to mention it here for everyone else's posts, Cascade would definitely tell the rest of the party that 'gifts' have a faint celestial aura to them. (Ba Dum Tss)

Cascade

Cascade had been eager to lead the party to Zephyr, and as she led the way, she eagerly spoke with the party. It seems like she spoke with Aura the most, if nobody else chimed in. However, her cheer does dampen with the noticeable chill in the air. She shudders as she comments, "That's weird, Brah...It's not normally this cold..."

She easily points out the hill and informs the party trying to regain her cheer, "Ah! Zephyr's just behind that hill! We're almost there!" However, that cheer disappears when a certain demonic being makes itself known.

Now, as a paladin, she is intuitively aware that demons are not good creatures. However, this one is not attacking? Instead it was offering warm clothes for her, her friends, and for her Ohana in Zephyr? She listens to Flicker and Aura as they spoke up and voiced their doubts. She remembers hearing about Nanna May back at that tavern from the party, which makes their doubts understandable to the paladin.

Still...Cascade stands conflicted. One could see her expression resemble one that a confused golden retriever might have as she thinks over the situation and debating with herself between accepting the gifts and not accepting them. They would help Zephyr, but...would they somehow doom them? If there was only a way to tell...

Thankfully for Cascade, Deep Sashelas seems to have been watching over her, because a small memory comes back to the forefront of her mind, like driftwood on the vast sea of her thoughts.

She mutters in realization, "I'm overthinking this!" She then clasps her holy symbol and channels the divinity into her senses. She is looking attentively at the clothes to see if there is any sort of demonic influence on them that could be corruptive or harmful to the people of Zephyr. But while doing so, she looks at the imp with the memory in mind once again, trying to discern anything familiar about that imp from that night.

She asks warily, "Wait a minute...were you the one spying on us during that attack on the camp?"

OOC

Cascade uses Divine Sense.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Would we have learned the name of the rebel bullwug leader at this point?

@Lurking Krog

Yes!
The Rebel Bullywug Leader’s name is Illig, Baron of Muckstump.
