The guy in the tattered straw hat

[Happycrow]

went around to temples and buildings in rivermoot, showing off a set of tattered spidersilk robes.

"Ya seen these fancy symbol afer? Some fancy feller what was probly important were wearin' this when 'e dun got dead up tha Moonwood way. Figger somebody probly ought ta know he ent comin' back."

He keeps asking around until he's pretty much run out of people to ask.

A note appears on a fence post in Queavar:

"Missing: Druid Laundry stolen from the refugee camp by brigands! Please speak with Druid Arlana or any Druid of the Great Oak if you know who to her clothes or can return them. Reward offered!"

[Happycrow]

OOC: [lol, Brier won't have seen that sign by the time he drifts eastwards towards Silverymoon asking folks and shows up at the Oak. That conversation will be hilarious.]

[Happycrow]

Brier eventually returns the robes to the Druid, and hangs around until they get sick of him whittling and talking about trees, shrubs, animals, and rocks.

Which, admittedly, might be a while.

posts a note outside of Rauvinwatch Keep and Rivermoot:

spends a day or three at the Glade, scraping meat and membrane off a dragon hide until it's just rawhide, rather than "rawhide, flies, and things that rot," and putting it in his "Big Bag O' Dragon Jerky."

((ooc: I occasionally tan hides as a hobby -- if anybody wants ideas about how to rp this sort of thing, hit me up))

[Happycrow]

At the insistence of Miss Tyrar at the Grove, Brier stops snacking on dragon jerky.

When he's done with what it turns out to do with his guts, Brier takes her advice and goes over to the University to see if they want to barter for its heart and liver, as stewing it is clearly no longer an option.

((Originally a Cloud affair -- obviously has not even the slightest urgency, but it occurred to me that players with Uni connections might hear about this and possibly be interested in relevant rp.))

Brier has not been seen in any of his usual haunts for at least a tenday.

[Happycrow]

Brier has reappeared, looking much more relaxed than he had been. He is much seen on the corridor between Rivermoot, the Great Oak, and the Glade of Mielikki, bringing various gifts to a huge half-orc teenager, who seems to turn much of them into decorations, clothing, or other things to adorn herself with.

He also talks to the Marshall and picks up a Legion badge, in exchange for the Marshall finding the teenager a place to stay while she's hefting sandbags two-in-each-hand for her daily bread and looking for a stable place to set up. Any parties who inquired further might see said girl spending time near the Orphanage.

Brier heads to Quaerrvar to keep his word to the Sylvanite Druids, and assist in the work there.
