 Ravi pipped up, questioning Fergus //"So what makes a Cleric a chef? or was it a Chef becoming a Cleric?"// \\
 There was a hearty chuckle from the Dwarf before leaning back as if to recount old memories. //"Its no Grand tale i am afraid...Many Dwarven cities are always looking for Dwarves to work in the mines, You never know a Dwarf who cannot tunnel into the mountains. Its honest work and many dwarves do it for their entire lives. But we can't have ALL Dwarves in the mine, Some need to craft, to forge, to cook, to clean, to govern."// A simple nostalgic smile crosses Fergus's face as he recounts the story. \\
-//"I did my time in the tunnels like any other Dwarf, But my calling, My true passion came when i was in the kitchen. We had cooks sure but it was food without the enjoyment of taste, at least in the city i grew up. My mind would always be thinking of ways to spice up my lunch. "//

Until I stopped thinking and started action. "// \\
+Fergus dug through his bag pulling out a few ingredients and utensils as he started to craft a sandwich along with his story. \\
+//"So I would order the same boring ol' sandwich but at the table I would add things, sauces, veggies, other things I thought would work. almost immediately I had success but it took time to refine. Eventually my brother and sister dwarves took notice."// \\
+The Dwarf finished his sandwich and passed it over to //Vivacious//. \\
+//"Well never stingy in my life, I offered my alterations to those around me. ahh seeing their face light up with those first few bites. One Dwarf devoured it whole before my eyes."// \\
+The party watched as //Vivacious// took a bite of the food offered, Nervous now that everyone was watching him. The flavours were strong, it was nothing fancy but honest and made with purpose. //Fergus// had been cooking for the party about a week now, so //Vivacious// already knew just how good the food was but every meal always surprised him, this simple sandwich included. \\
+//Fergus// beamed with excitement //"Haha! see?! that look of small pleasure and satisfaction of good food, ah mother Ulaa, it makes my heart sing."// \\
+The Dwarf sat back as the food was passed around, //Carbolk// then //Ravi & Remi// so everyone got a taste. \\
+//"And well. after that it all just became apparent, I stopped working in the mines soon after and started working as a cook....over the decades I trained a few young dwarves in my skills and eventually....i had a calling from a higher power. My apprentices took over the store at home and I began my journey I am on now."// \\
+//Fergus// looking conflicted as he spoke those words, //Ravi// would speak up. \\
+//You regret it? Having all you wanted suddenly uprooted by some divine presence, doesn't sound like a benevolent act.."// Her words sharp, as the air suddenly had a whiff of tension. \\
+//Fergus// Chuckled. //"hehe...Regret? no Ravi no...just...longing. We all get homesick. Sometimes people just want a simple life. Reaching importance or grandeur in any society is sure to get you recognized but only a few may ever reach that. Most like myself are content with my shop back home, making food for hungry faces....I have found... on my adventure thus far, I am most at peace when making meals for those less fortunate than myself. setting up a makeshift kitchen and helping those i can..."// \\
+His words trailed off as his mind swirled with memories of the past.
+//Vivacious// Would speak up to break the quiet. //"I have no regrets!...ah, well as to say I don't have much to regret. All I know is only the past few years, Everything before is unknown so I have little to reflect on, I Can't say I get 'Homesick' as I don't remember a home to be sick about. But its interesting to hear about it from you Fergus...it sounds like a conflicting feeling. Perhaps one day i will feel it too."// \\
+//Vivacious// turns to //Ravi// who is looking out the back of the cart //"What about you Ravi? you seemed to have lived a long while. Are you homesick?"// \\
+//Ravi's// Ears twitched then slowly lowered but she does not turn around. There was a long silence causing //Vivacious// to speak again. \\
+//"Ravi? is everything okay?"// \\
+There was another long pause before Ravi finally spoke, softly. //"Yea Vic...i am homesick"// She turns around to face the group, tears running down a face of anger. //"More than you could know..."//

+The party Reached //Sholezdig// by sunset. The town was fresh, in the sense that it was new, The wood and stone showing little signs of wear or age, Nails lacked rust and the roads are only vaguely defined by the passage of many feet and carts. Leaving the marsh a few days ago now there were in a more hilly forest region.
-The Party’s next stop was a smaller settlement about an hour outside some
 Unexplored ruins. The Major city was still another few days travel. \\
 The Party decided to stop here for the night, restock and once again try to gather information.

 Morning came and the party quickly realised Carbolk was missing.
+The party met up in he room Carbolk was last seen. Each with their own reaction. \\
+//"Oh Jeeze, oh No, oh gosh, this isn't good right? i figure it isn't good but i'm no actually sure. Is it?! Isn't it?!"// Vivacious seemed to be spiralling into a panic. Eventually Fergus grabbed hi by his cloak to halt his pacing. \\
+//"Hey HEY! Keep it together Vic, Panicking's not goanna do alot good to no one."// \\
+Ravi was busy investigating the scene, Inspecting Carbolk's bed, the door, the window. Scratching her ear she spoke up. //"Well look...the town has been having people disappear in the night, and It seems our Orc Friend has become one of those victims."//
