As the camping retreat is in full swing, Yinmaris finds a spot away from the camp and looks up to the starry night by himself. He smiles, taking out the perfect piece of silk that Florian gave him carefully from a patch pocket on his shirt while unfolding it delicately. He didn't want to disrespect an item gifted to him from The Protector himself, Yinmaris had tried identifying it earlier where it showed faint traces of divinity.
He couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and artisanship for it had no signs of cutting or a tear he had seen in fabrics he had seen before, even with the finest clothes he would have to wear for his family’s soirées. It was like that dream he had at the Circle of Jade, only without the soothing breathing, but with that exact shade of turquoise or aquamarine.
The distant campfire’s flickering light strikes the handkerchief-sized fabric, giving an illusion of moving in that soft breathing rhythm he'd seen in that dream… or was it a vision? Yinmaris begins to speak or rather pray in Elvish. Looking up to the starry night while holding the silk close to him, his words almost song-like.
“Thank you Protector, I needed this. I needed to be reminded why I adventure in the first place, to bring light and hope during peoples’ darkest day, through being a warrior or a bard, or maybe a good sprinkling of both. I'll do the best I can, I know the journey will be hard but that's what adventure is. It is what I signed up for. Also, I'll keep this safe and close to me, I promise.”
He lets the light from the moon and stars rest on the fabric for some moments before delicately folding, placing it back into his shirt's breast pocket and heading back to the camp with his adventuring companions.

Your Majesty,
I write to you with news of my most recent adventure so you have some more good reading during your rest post-remedy success. Good news, I no longer am cursed, although I will keep an eye out for the entity. It was getting clear that he was trying to corrupt me, twisting my curiosity for understanding and knowledge to a darker obsession. Even though I knew that it became difficult to hold it back. I will do what I can to fight against Him and his other Ones. And I'm sorry if the dimming of my light by that inky darkness caused you any pain, hopefully now I can get brighter than ever.
So back to the good stuff, the adventure. Honestly it was rather impromptu, I was spending some self-care time at Florian’s Circle of Jade which had some wonderful vibes and was such a good break from the recent events. During a sleep I had a vision, that it turns out was from Corellon! I saw a really beautiful silk fabric blowing in the air like there was someone breathing from the other side. As I woke up, thanks to Florian waking me up asking me to help with a big plume of smoke in the distance. Not from a campfire, something bigger and concerning. Now Florian had eaten something pretty great but strong and had to rest as it would have been improper for them to do adventuring as the food's contents hit.
After getting ready for whatever situation I set off towards the smoke, bumping into a most unexpected sight. Fellow adventurers, Fog, a disarmed Pipper and Marto seemingly having a rambunctious time in part due to an excitable Fíonn taking Pipper’s prosthetic arm for a walk which frankly Pipper seemed to love. After some time the tavernkeeper of the Hearth and Road brought another friend, Rae along with coffee and pastries. With a five person party brought together we all set off, heading towards the smoke we came across fiery hoof tracks, all of us investigating got fiendish vibes. Which linked to nightmares apparently. After this bit of information we got moving faster, as it spelled serious trouble.
Lead by Marto, we arrived at a wooden cabin that seemed to be mostly built but damaged by infernal fires. We saw people injured or worse around the home, including a mother calling for the rest of her family. It was a tragic incident, so we got to work, Marto and Rae saved the mother of the family as I got to work on triaging everyone near the house. We managed to save everyone except for two of the family members who had sadly passed before we had arrived. Thankfully,Pipper and Rae brought back one of the children and the great aunt of the family who were dragged away by the nightmares to a stream.
After we’d found everyone and brought everyone together, Fíonn found himself becoming excitable again and ran off into the forest, Marto followed like the true hero he is. Eventually they both returned, with Marto holding onto his loyal companion, apparently the nightmares were dealt with. By the way, I hope you know this isn’t me being a sycophant it’s just Marto shows qualities I hope to exemplify one day, he is a great warrior but then shows true kindness and altruism when other adventurers can frankly be well, not kind nor altruistic.
Once we’d all gotten together again, Marto coordinated us with finishing off building the home. The great-aunt of the family cooked some of the best food in my entire life, it was so good! The family, who were halflings from Faerun, came to the Dawnlands for the dream of prosperity, hope and a new start. In the attack they’d lost a lot but it felt good, better than good, to bring some of the light of hope in the darkness they were going through.Rae had quite a powerful time there, they saved a young child. To the point that the youngster wanted to be a wizard just like them, which was a powerfully beautiful moment.Pipper even made something she called an action figure of them afterwards.
Anyways after everything we returned and had a delightful camping break outside Fog and Marto’s abode. While there Rae removed the curse afflicting me which felt great, then on top of that Florian brought me something from the Circle of Jade. It was a piece of silk that was perfect in every sense of the word and it was the same silk as the one I saw in the Corellon vision. I looked into it with my own curiosity and not the curse’s, the silk had traces of divinity. Also the artistry of it is masterful, there are no cuts or tears you’d see in every other fabric. Maybe I can use it's divine power to help you and others. Once I figure out how to do that.
This has been a few days that have helped me figure out what’s important, it’s been nice and needed. Oh by the way, apparently Marto got an upgrade on his axe so it looks even cooler, I didn’t notice too many changes till I was decursed honestly but it sounds great and will be spectacular in action I am sure. And I now know how to make s’mores so that’s fun, if you wish when you awaken I can get a campfire going and make some for or with you.
