“Shhh, they are doing their best! ...and we could use some friends in this place, even if they are a little... off.”

Strix stands up, still eyeing the gift from Walnut, and wipes away her tears. She looks to K'thriss and holds out a beautiful, flakey pastry baked into a small, charred black skull carved with arcane symbols. The pastry is made to look like entrails. #wafflesinc

"Ah," she mutters "This is for you K'thriss. And this," she holds up what looks like a ghoul's tongue on a toothpick "Is for your pet! And the pie is made of underdark mushrooms and herbs, I hope you like it!! PLEASE STAY OUT OF MY HEAD." #wafflesinc

K’thriss’s eyes are full of wonder as he wordlessly accepts the skull and crams the pastry into his mouth. “What… do... your symbols… mean.” He is asking Strix as much as he is also asking the skull. #WafflesInc

Strix shrugs. "I make them up. I know magic, so they must be magic. That's how that works, right? You know magic you know that. Also please don't let your snake eat us." #wafflesinc

Diath rises, holding a folded over blanket. He approaches Rosie Beestinger, kneels, and unfolds the blanket. Revealed inside is a small jar of black liquid, and resting next to it is a long feather, a gradient of red to white. @katewelchhhh #WafflesInc

"Within this glass, is the finest ink you could ever bring to a quill. It's obsidian from the volcanoes of Kossuth's Eyes, melted down through the strongest arcane magics and put to this jar. It's blacks will be deeper than any abyss." #WafflesInc

"The feather has been plucked from the largest of roc living in the Dragonspire mountains. Its sharpest point will make any letter, number, word or line be the finest to any parchment." #WafflesInc

Diath hands over the items. "As you have spent your life guiding others, let it persist beyond with your wisdom forever set with the best tools worthy of the wisest words." #WafflesInc
