We continue.
At some point in the morning, we hear some jackal yips. Vorest is concerned. Then we hear people crying for help, and Vondal and Vandederp race over. We see a couple people surrounded by jackals. We hurry to help them, and the people in the centre start helping the jackals, and some of the jackals turn into people, kind of.
We are told to fall asleep, and I watch as Vondal and Vandederp do. And I am so tired. I lay down, I need to sleep. I can't possibly stay awake anymore. I don't feel safe, I feel like I should fight, but I am just. So. Tired.
Vorest wakes me, yelling about bugbears. Wait. What? I thought we were fighting jackals? And I am freezing. I get up, confused, but I see bugbears, and a bunch of dead jackals. Vorest is really taking care of the fights the last few days. I wish I knew what was going on! We manage to beat the bugbears, but it is difficult. We are still clearly not quite thinking straight and just fighting on instinct. And we are hurt a bit more than normal.
Vorest heals us, and we continue on. She is definitely the person that has been the most important in these last fights - without her we would likely be dead.
We arrive in Kormul, and stay at the Dancing Unicorn. We wander through town a bit, and see an apothecary. Vorest buys something, expensive I assume, the boys grumble a little, I think she said she should have had it for when the lizard guy fought the bull, but she'll have it for next time if needed. I guess it's something for a spell. We also asked after our mysterious red slaver powder, but the apothecarist did not know it. We left a little bit behind so he could continue studying it - maybe it will be important, considering how many yuan-ti we've seen.
And in a surprise turn of fate, we find Cedric, and sold some things. How he got here, we will never know - he doesn't seem to think he has done anything odd.
