[center][b]Day 9[/b] Food [item=Telescope Butterfly] Why are we still here. Just to suffer. Coli again [emoji=nocturne sad size=1] Ok everyone survived, all good[/center] ---------------------- Although their hiding spot in the brambles was relatively safe and they could rest for a few days, that didn't mean said days were fun. On the third day they woke up to find their things soaking wet. Their wares, their personal belongings, even the scales on their skin were dripping water as if they had just been washed. Cricket's fridge had protected his perishables. But there was nothing to protect Cherri's fabrics. He was devasted, did that mean that all his product was done for? Maybe he could salvage his wares if they made it to civilisation, but they were in the middle of Foxfire Bramble! The few clans residing here would be hard to find and hard to bargain with. While Cherri was wallowing in his misery, Cricket started coming up with explantions for the sudden rise in humidity. Maybe it was a traveling water dragon's first time out of the sea and they didn't know they should restrain their powers while on land. Or maybe an imperial delivery dragon was flying above them and, while taking a sip from their water bottle, they accidently let a few drops fall to the unfortunate nocturnes below. Cherri was only half-listening.

[center][b]Day 10 [/b] Material [item=Fancy Silver-Plated Buckle][/center] To be honest, they had no idea where they were exactly. Were they closer to Murkbarrow Close or Driftwood Drag? They [i]should[/i] be closer to the capital of the shadow flight, but there was a suspiciously high humifity in the air. Either way, they had to find civilisation soon to hopefully salvage their wares. Of course, finding a clan in the brambles would be ideal, but there was no guarantee they'd be able to spot them. Or that the clan would welcome outsiders.

[center][b]Day 11[/b] Familiar [item=Depin] Oooh who will join us? [/center] ---------------- [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/74546372][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/745464/74546372.png[/img][/url][/center] Meeting Pickles was so bizzare. The wind was howling and the rain was threatening to finish off what little dry items they had left. Cricket and Cherri were desperately looking for a place to cover for the night. Imagine their susprise then, when they met this dragon sitting on a rock in a clearing of the bramble forest, holding what seemed to be a piece of paper and drawing, in the middle of the storm. Pickles introduced herself as a desinger, but she wouldn't tell them what she was making out here in the rain. Upon hearing their woes, she invited them to stay the night with the clan who was hosting her, a group of dragons that lived in a travelers' inn. They bonded overnight and she agreed to join their little caravan to sell her art and services. All she needed was a little wagon to go with the theme.

[center][b]Day 12[/b] Trinket [item=Cobalt Glazed Vase] Ooh first trinket![/center] --------------------- [img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/beea677916b7872c9fae34006d1b5c59/a17cc5f8f52d881d-70/s540x810/15a0d4b24d970d7ffe7d68beba837cb82f87890c.jpg[/img]

[center][b]Day 13[/b] Familiar [item=Frosted Pocketmouse] Wow another new member already![/center] ----------------- [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/74805532][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/748056/74805532.png[/img][/url][/center] Mercury was staying the night at the same inn as the small merchant group. Their colorful wagons, especially Cherri's, drew her in and seeing as her acquintance Pickle, who she met a week prior, was bringing them in, she started chatting with them. Their traveling could be proven useful for her research. See, Mercury was a scientist, specifically a meteorologist who wanted to study how the magic in different flights affected the natural weather patterns and hopefully develop a warning system. She didn't have anything to sell though. She didn't have wares like Cricket and Cherri, neither did she have a rare skill like Pickle. She couldn't even pay them rent as she was leading a vagabond lifestyle. But they still let her come along and encouraged her to get a little wagon like them, despite having no items. Cherri suggested she could offer her knowledge as services, kind of like a teacher. Cricket said she should wear signs of the others' shops as advertisement. Pickle smiled that she didn't need to do anything, just keeping them company was enough. Mercury, who had grown up on her own and never had any friends, teared up when they showed her how to fly in formation with them so she doesn't get lost.

[center][b]Day 14[/b] Food [item=Bluegill] Nooo not coli I just got the new guys [emoji=nocturne scared size=1] I'll try to level them to match the others[/center]

[center][b]Say 15[/b] Food [item=Deadwood Twig] Man. Not coli again. [emoji=nocturne sad size=1] Tbh I don't want to do coli during the mini holiday. I have a disproportionate amount of seafood and no one to eat it. [/center]

[center][b]Day 16[/b] Food [item=Wasteland Pauper] Pain.[/center]

[center][b]Day 17[/b] Material [item=Translucent Fins] Finally something that isn't coli[/center] ---------------------- Cricket and Cherri wanted to get wagons for Pickles and Mercury before heading out, but the inn clan's carpenter and engineer were away gathering materials. After talking it out with the new members and explaining how important the wagons were for brand recognition, they decided to camp near the inn for a few days to wait for them. They were careful enough to keep their distance as to not seem rude to the clan that was kind enough to help them fix their wares. But the room costs were absurd. Maybe becuase they knew how valuable shelter was in the middle of Foxfire Bramble and because they were the only ones so far that were relatively easy to find.

[center][b]Day 18[/b] Material [item=Chrome Laser Head][/center] The carpenter and the engineer took three whole days to return from their trip. Apparently they have run into some trouble, since they didn't account for the Night of the Nocturne monsters that will soon start crawling across Sorienth and they stumbled across their nests. The two wagons were overpriced, but since it was the welcoming gift for the new members, it was fine. Cricket and Cherri didn't mind as much as they normally would.
