Rawn had returned Kro's greeting and did indeed enter in with the elf. 

He was quite pleased with the offerings from the brew houses. He would indeed arrange meetings between the houses and Aramus. 

Rawntha wasn't surprised that Kro hadn't managed to get any substantial information on the mine or the elementals. But, there was still a chance that these giants might know something. 
"Well, we may not need the information, but if your giant friends have any, we'll be glad for it.

"That sounds like a good after dinner conversation, Master Kro." He had responded just as Jeri came in the door. 

The dwarf nodded his head to Lucile in response to her caw. "And a fine eve to you as well mistress Lucile." He again offered his finger for a chest rub should she want it.

"I also did something similar master Jeri. And about the only thing you're missed so far is trying out these drinks offered by the brew houses."

Turning back to Kro, he said, "Ah, the lads will be back after a bit. They'll be wanting the rest of the information for the provisioning plans. And they've probably already caught the smell of these drinks." He let out a laugh at that. "They'll be here as soon as they can be."

It wasn't more than a half hour before Bik and Bek came wandering in for dinner.

After all had gathered and dinner had or being had Krono told all the fact that no information was found. "I do have high hopes that the Firbolg giants would now something as protector of the land and its creatures, they would of surely meet some of these elementals. To my knowledge rarely do elementals treat the land fairly."

"Well unless we need to go over anything else or the route again I could use a nice warm soak before bed. Tomorrow more cargo needs to be picked up. If all goes well we should have all carts loaded by late afternoon. So if not thing changes as we agreed. We should depart on sun up the day after tomorrow"

Lucile didn't mind a light touch from the dwarf as a greeting but didn't let it linger too long before hopping away and back up on Jeri's shoulder. The young man was mostly quite throughout dinner aside from the occasional acknowledging nod or passing side comment to Lucile. While he was not the conversationalist or the life of the evening, he did linger longer than he did the night before being aware of what the night brought. Eventually it was reasonable to retire off to his quarters where Lucile stood guard while he slept.

Jeri's Nightmare
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The young man laid asleep on the rock in the middle of nature slightly off the path to the Shepherd he was enjoying a nap as he waited Lucile's informative caw detailing the workings of the dwarves and the elf. He woke up in a daze when Lucile squawked and pecked at him informing him that a frightening figure was coming to the Inn on the road from Miller-Dale. Jeri rolled over and situated himself to be laying prone on the rock as he peeked over to watch this figure of that was enshrouded in darkness take steps closer. As the figure came closer the surroundings even on the plain even with him vanished and was replaced with shadow. Jeri became afraid and didn't hesitate to turn and run the opposite direction. As Jeri sprinted, he looked over his shoulder and saw the distance between himself and the figure increasing rapidly but suddenly in one small step the shadow covered all that ground and appeared in front of him. The two entities stood in a dark void and the figure was now revealed to be Jeliel. The young man halted in his tracks and diverted his eye contact as he sent signals to Lucile to keep running away.

Jeliel reached out and put his hand on Jeriscal's shoulder "Hey Jeri... Man... I thought I told you yesterday. I am too strong to run from." Jeri felt an overwhelming feeling of dread hit him as he began to feel helpless. His plan to simply run didn't work in this moment he wanted to fight back but he couldn't move as he was frozen still. 
"You sent me away Jeliel... Wh... Why are you chasing me down"
"Because Jeri, I should've killed you when I had the chance. There's no place in this world for people like you."
"You're wrong. I can... Help people..." Jeri's words came with a shaky voice and were physically taxing to push out from his body. "I he-helped grandma."
Jeliel sent a forceful backhand across Jeri's face that broke the skin on his bottom lip causing him to drool a light red tincture of blood and saliva in his current frozen state. "She wasn't your grandmother you idiot she was mine. Your parents abandoned you because you're a freak."
"She loved... Me more..."
"Shut up Jeri!" Another backhand swiftly met the other side of the frozen man's face 
"I'm sorry..."
"What?! Sorry?!" The anger boiled in Jeliel as he punched Jeri in the face knocking him down to his knee and breaking his nose.

Jeri's vision was blurred as watered filled his eyes from the blow to his face. Blood poured from his nose and caused him to forcefully breath from his mouth. "What could you possibly be sorry to me for? Sorry for your existence?" 
"I – I'm more... Magic-al"
In a rage Jeliel kicked Jeri across the ribs multiple times as he knelt over and coughing and spewing blood from his mouth. Jeri was woozy and panting now still frozen and unable to move. "I... I have plenty of magic Jeri. I can easily overpower you. I always have and I always will." With that Jeliel began to stomp into Jeri across the ribs. The audible crunch of Jeri's breaking bones was the percussion line in a symphony of sadism when it combined with the struggling gasps of air- and blood-filled spurts that came from Jeriscal's mouth. Eventually Jeri's lungs filled with blood, and he was unable to breath in due to his lungs being punctured and his entire chest cavity being collapsed. Jeliel knelt and was yelling in Jeri's face, but the screams were inaudible as he faded away.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Jeri rolled out of bed and made an audible thud on the floor as he gasped for air on all floors. He held at his rib cage and coughed up small amounts of blood. Lucile flew over on the ground before him and immediately began to try to comfort him.

"Does it look like I won Lucile?" Jeri asked sarcastically as he lightly spit a bit more blood to the floor. Lucile cawed again and lightly pecked at his hand after hopping over. "I know you are. I'm sorry." The two just remained on the floor until the effects of the nightmare wore off on Jeri. After Jeri just laid down curled up until the sun came in through the window. When he did awake Lucile was loyally watching him while standing guard at the door. The blood was wiped up off the floor and it made Jeri feel bad that he was snippy with his best friend the night before. "Hey... Uh. Would you like to spend the day together?" An odd question considering Lucile already followed Jeri wherever he went but there was an understanding that the day would be less focused on other dealings and more focused on them two having a good time. Lucile happily flew over and nudged into Jeri's face and Jeri felt an overwhelming happiness. As much as his nightmares would try to bully him the fact remains that Jeriscal would never truly be alone. The two companions left their room and Jeri washed himself up before going down the through the main area and leaving a message to one of the workers. "The elven man and the dwarven brethren that I have been with the last couple of days... Let them know that I will be in the forest and back around dinner time. If they need me, I'll be..." Jeri pointed outside "In that direction a few hundred yards in the forest." With that the man and his raven went into the forest to lovingly have a day of play. Jeri in his exhaustion would slip in a nap but otherwise unless needed approached or summoned he would come back for dinner.
