Private Session (Tin): Companions

TIN wants the truth of what happened to her

With nowhere to go and unable to return home in her current condition, Tin has been heading south to pass The Fahn Circlet into safer lands. But a run-in with an unexpected prisoner brings along dangers she was not ready for.

Structure

Exposition

The prisoner

Heading south from Cirencrest towards the town of Sudlem, Tin travelled alone and at a moderate speed. Having passes many travellers and carriages on the way, the appearance of another carriage at first seems like nothing out of the ordinary. The driver, an old halfling man, smiled and waved, but something wriggled and fell out of the back of the carriage. The driver didn't notice.   Tin stopped and pointed out the lost item to the man, who seemed troubled and nervous about it. Following him, despite him not wanting her to, Tin could see that whatever was tied up in the sack, seemed humanoid. Any questions she asked was only met by warnings and excuses, and when Tin wouldn't step back, the man called another halfling out of the back to attack her. Tin races to the tied-up creature to free it, revealing a young, red dragonborn woman. The battle was short, as Tin made quick use of her frying pan. The old man fled with the carriage, and the dragonborn raced off into the woods. Tin followed.   Tin's words of peace and helpfullness caused the dragonborn to stop and listen. Tin explained that she just wanted to help, and the dragonborn told her she needed to get back to Sudlem. Which was also where Tin was heading. Deciding they were safer together, they found their way back to the road and continued their journey. Every passing travelling party caused the dragonborn to hide in the forests.  

Companionship

Stopping for the night, the dragonborn, having revealed her name to be Cassia, wanted them to set up camp off into the woods. Getting a fire going and with nothing else to do, they started talking. Tin explained that she was heading past the Circlet because she was lacking direction, unable to go back to her home where she would no longer be welcome because of her "sickness", but she also had no idea how to cure it.   Cassia told her that her grandfather might be able to help, being part of the Prime Tempest Conclave in Brondhaven. But the mention of magic caused Tin to shy away and deny the help. Instead, Cassia told her she could, as payment for having saved her, bring Tin to an herbalist in Sudlem who might help. Tin agreed.  

Revelations

The next day, the pair had almost finished their travel for the day, when they were attacked by two halflings who were seemingly focused on catching Cassia. The combat was longer, and the added stress caused Tin to lose control to her "sickness": between one moment and the next, she had grown into the form of a humanoid bear-like creature, larger than before, and brown fur sprawling across her body. Cassia fled into the woods as Tin fought the halflings, causing one of them to run away. Coming out of her form, Tin finished off the other halfling, leaving him unconcious, before turning to Cassia.   Cassia, scared out of her mind, warned Tin not to come closer. Even as Tin tried to explain what had happened, what was wrong with her, Cassia's fear caused her not to listen. She proposed that it would be better if they split up and travelled seperately. Tin tried to reason with her, but she couldn't be swayed. She told Tin to let her go, and wait half a day before following towards Sudlem.   Tin let her go, and as a parting gift, Cassia told her the name of the herbalist in Sudlem was Olluna and that he resided in the harbour district. And with that, she left.  

At the gates of Sudlem

Two days later, Tin arrived at the gates of the bustling city of Sudlem, intent on finding the herbalist who might help her figure out how to cure her.
