[Deathkeeper]

Wayward Shrine

Artie slips into the water easily and without comment. The effects are immediate. Artie won’t admit it but the last few months have been very hard for her, having her life uprooted multiple times, falling for a handsome man, and becoming a strange, wonderful being and then a mother. She’s a little shy about Nidda touching her more feminine regions but quickly slips into a trance. This has the small but slowly expanding side effect of causing her hindquarters to slowly slip back into their natural shape. She will pull herself together if Nidda mentions it, but if she continues to provide her care to Artie’s legs even as they become clawed and her tail enormous she will have a peacefully sleeping dragon-woman coiled around the spring. Somehow this won’t cause as much of a mess as you’d think, and Artie ignoring gravity means she can be picked up and moved even if her tail must be left where it is.

[Riss’s Place?]

Poor Sam. He wasn’t really expecting a hike. He wouldn’t have dressed in such casual stuff like his normal vest and pants. But here he is, trying to follow the directions Riss gave him. Good thing he’s well insulated.
