Amberfield
Not too long ago, before Amberfield was called Amberfield, another temple stood by a river stained red; but no longer. That temple was broken, and the Order of Menders built an abby in its place. These days they produce mead and honey in the prairies that surround them, and work to clean the wickedness that once dwelled within that place.
- The caravan entered Amberfield after everyone but Evangeline went to catch crayfish, to varying degrees of success. They stayed at the tavern run by the monastery, and the following morning broke fast and spoke with the barkeep, Sister Honey, a hedgehog who had romantic and radical tastes in literature. Valerie shared some of her poetry with her and was flirted with in return. She also received a lead regarding the rebel leader whose grave she's searching for.
- SUPERB decided that fae needed to pet a bee, and pulled Chicory and Dandelion into faer search. After speaking with an old deer lady, they met Miss Sassafras, a red-eared slider and bumble herder, who allowed them to pet some of her bumbles and even gave them some sugar to feed them. She also described some of the details of various breeds of bee, assorted natural fibers, and the sourcing of insect milk, as well as a discussion with Chicory on the character and strictness of the brothers and sisters of the abby.
- The gang went to the abby together to speak with the abbotess. They had audience with her, during which she realized she knew Chicory from before she transitioned. Valerie asked her to apologizing for deadnaming Chicory and the Abbotess Bergamot denied wrongdoing, but eventually apologized at Valerie's insistence. She said she could provide Valerie with the information she sought, and invited them to join her in her tea.
- Chicory excused herself and was ill, and consulted with the small gods. They gave varied advice, until one told her that someone was looking for her. She saw Evangeline was looking for her, and called out to her; Evangeline did what she could to comfort Chicory as Chicory opened up further1 to her. Chicory also very casually and normally said she'd follow Evangeline anywhere.
Unrelated to play, we also learned about pangolin big naturals and found turtle to scalie tf that we used to reference how turtle-y a turtle kith would be

Chicory unfortunately lost her opportunity to try and kiss Evangeline, on account of having vomited immediately beforehand
