Chapter 1: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
The party starts to head back to North Shire, who and even what Victoria maybe is a topic of obvious discussion. While she has identified herself by name,and stated she is human, it's well known to all in the party, that many very not so human things travel the Valley in the guise of human appearance.
Damien, the spearman however, is very human mortal, and in possession of something rare among humans in the Valley, a morale compass.
So as they close on the fringes of North Shire, left with the decision to release or slay him, the party opts to let him go, to improve the morale compass among humans hopefully.
Victoria is another matter. Bought to the valley by followers of Nyx she wears the guise of the innocent and harmless, a disguise often cultivated by the most dangerous of things.
So with little more to be done, they throw a cloak over her, tell her to act normally, and not be startled by anything she see's in town. Better yet, keep the hood of her cloak drawn low so none can easily see her and to narrow her field of vision as a bonus is a better suggestion.
The walk through town is brisk and straight forward. The town is ALWAYS busy. Day or night, dusk or dawn, something was always stirring and moving in town. One hour or the next was the same, and none really safer or more dangerous to bring Victoria through it.
It's generally agreed by silent glances and nods that you all disavow knowledge of Victoria, and if things go south, leave her alone to deal with what comes.
Happily... it doesn't come to that.
You all move through town, surrounding Victoria to obscure her from sight, chatting amiably about your most recent mission and your desire to fill Joan and Rifnox in on your findings of Ghost Mushrooms.
