Title: A Dance of Blade and Claw
Text: "Dheir prepared herself before heading to the bartender of the Pour Judgment, getting them to escort her to the \"secret\" pit fighting arena beneath it. She checked in to get her fight confirmed, watching the few before hers and then betting on herself and heading into the ring. Saxon+Kit and Xedran found themselves drinking in the Pour Judgment to kill time, while Cassian went to the Soul Pond to ponder the Stars, the faint feeling of dread in the back of his mind growing in tandem with each dream of the Void, a portion of the sky without Stars, doing the same. Dheir stepped into the ring, her opponent the same bear that defeated her in the weeks prior roars as it makes its way forward.

Dheir gripped the pair of daggers in her hands, striking swiftly at the ferocious beast. It lunges in an attempt to get her, but she cartwheels out of the attack. She retaliates by stabbing the bear and leveraging her smaller form to flip over the bear's back. The crowd goes wild at the dance of blades and claws before them, Dheir and the bear trading blows. The bear roars in pain and fury as Dheir gets multiple deep cuts through it's thick skin, swiping at her with it's paw. Dheir dodges and goes in for another stirke at it's neck and flipping over it's back once again, nearly losing her balance as the bear slumped down with its dying breath beneath her, she stuck the three point landing and gracefully moved into noble bow for the crowd, all cheering for the entertaining battle (except for the bear's trainer who could be seen off the side for the creature they raised since a cub). Dheir collected her winnings, then proceeded to watch a few of the next fights before joining her party in the bar above. At some point prior to Dheir joining, Cassian had made his way into the bar as well. 

Dheir filled the party in and they celebrated with her before they went to bed for the night. 

The morning of the 26th of Mitu rolled around, Cass had the idea to get out to scroll of ancient astrological notes for information on the Void, finding notes that indicate the Void was once larger. It apparently decreased in size during the Embers. He packed the notes away before meeting with the group for breakfast. The whole party then went to the Sable Sea in an attempt to find Sast or any other boat that would take them to Destra. Unfortunately, there were none available and Sast had taken some tourists out to the Strait ( the New Year celebrations were coming soon and tourists were starting to come to the city for it). The party gathered any last minute supplies they needed and headed out the south gate towards Destra. On the way out of town, a boggan handed Dheir a small mechanized box that made bird noises.

Dheir let it play on their rather uneventful walk for the day, eventually they all stepped off the road and let Saxon find them a nice place of rest. While no one noticed anything during the night, the party awoke on the 27th of Mitu to their waterskins all containing wine. They searched around but could not find a cause so decided to continue on their journey. This day was also rather uneventful until a ruin of sorts just off the road caught their eyes, they spent some time clearing away the plant life that grew over it, revealing what appeared to be a shrine. They did not know who it was until Xedran used Comprehend Languages to learn it was a shrine to Tylburr, and it would return anything offered in duplicate. Cass poured his wine into it, Xedran some drops of blood, (and if Saxon and Dheir remind Logan what they put in that will be included here). They then continued their journey south, eventually their offerings did appear doubled, with Cass's waterskin overflowing with the wine. 

Eventually the party reached the outskirts of Destra, they reminded Xedran he could be a wanted man in town. Xedran told them all not to worry and went behind some trees to prepare a disguise. While he did this, a group of chanting people made their way down the road, passing the party and paying them no mind as they proceeded towards town. Xedran came out of the woods with a vary questionable disguise before they all followed the strange group into Destra. No one stopped the group and from their first steps in they could see no wanted posters. Minutes after arrival and already a suspicion of shenanigans begins to creep over the party."
