Editing The Knights Who Fell Up (section)

==== Combat ends ====

* Astranna, Anja, and Jericho check on their pets, who are all safe. We discuss whether or not this is a dream – Jericho is convinced it is, but Astranna and Anja don’t think so. Alphie asks if any of us were aether souls before this, and we all say no.
** Alphie did a few part-time jobs, but that was about it.
** Anja made a lot of clothes for people and animals, and has her own label. She’s from Beacon, though she’s been around Zell.
** Astranna is from a farm near Geldorf, where her family grew wheat, but also had some livestock. She doesn’t know where Henrietta came from – she says she just appeared in the chicken coop one day, and they were best friends ever since. Henrietta also doesn’t know where she came from.
* Maple wants to be pet by someone who isn’t Anja. Gwyn hesitantly reaches out to pet her, and gets bitten.
** “I changed my mind.”
* We find Newton and give him his stuff back. He tells us if we follow the path, it’ll take us wherever we want to go – even though Low Falutin’s on a completely different island, it was only a 5 minute walk for him. We invite him to come with us, and he says it’d be a good time.
* A strange cuttlefish-like animal manifests above Alphie’s head, floating, its eyes moving independently. We all point it out, and Alphie’s confused, before looking up and back down. They say people usually can’t see him, and introduce us to Frank. Jericho says there’s nothing going on behind those eyes, and the eyes immediately focus on him. It slowly drifts down until it sits on Alphie’s shoulder. It’s mostly silent, until it declares “DEPARTURE” and leaves.
* We turn, and start heading north. Astranna rolls a d3, and gets a 3 – we all gain 3 levels. Turns out we roll for levels when defeating Quasit and similar entities!
