That… that had been a strange introduction to the region.
Ankhet pocketed her share of the gold, did all the necessary farewells to her temporary allies (one had been a hobgoblin, strange to come so far from home and then see something straight from your childhood), then walked until she’d found a greener area of the town. Found a tree to sit against. Cautiously patted it. Sat down.
Good. These ones stay where you put them.
Hmm. Sent to “find” a mountain. She didn’t know you could lose one until now, but there you go. Hadn’t known that fairy stories were true either, but now she’d been to one parallel plane and met someone (something?) from another. Shadowfell AND Feywild confirmed in less than a day. And no one had died, or sold their shadow to a witch, or anything like that, which was a win if the stories were now to be trusted.
She flipped her notebook open. Reread what was already there.
Job: Nappin Gyrowistle. Find a mountain. Southern woods.
Ursa, Ziarae, Stella (+ cat), Sundilar.
Also: collect flowers. [Drawing of a flower]
Woods. Lots of woods. No mountain.
Renard. Foxling? Nuisance. Feywild? Mushrooms.
Vines. Lost the cat. Mountain! Port Ffirst not here?? SHADOWFELL.
Goblins? NOT goblins. Old goblin? Measurements complete.
Found the cat.
She considered for a moment, and then wrote two more lines.
Mountain - PAID
Flowers - PAID
Closed the notebook. Stood up. Dusted herself off.
First step is the hardest, but you have to keep on walking. There’s rent to pay.
