Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
He situates himself back normally into his seat as she comments. āTherein lies something that vexes me. The fight against the demons is noble, so I often find myself wondering why Pulura told me to come to this country with no clear direction on why. If it was directly to aid in the effort, then surely that would be stated, no?ā

I get slightly more on edge. Is she trying to be mean?
āThe plans of the gods are often mysterious to mortals,ā says Halina.
āPerhaps she has another task in mind for you, which can only be carried out here in Brevoy,ā says the baron.

He nods in response to these answers. To discuss the matter further would be improper.
She wants to hear stories about fighting demons, and swap stories about creatures sheās fought! That sounds cool and interesting, she [thinks that she] would totally love to fight demons! But sheās pretty sure sheās been invited to this dinner for complicated etiquette reasons, and she doesnāt want to seem rude by jumping in and interruptingā¦

I start to near the end of my meal, and afraid I was eating too quickly, look up to see how done everyone else is.
The elf has finished, but Halina and the baron are still working. (PCs can obviously decide how done they are)

Iām just going toā¦ finish 15 seconds after the Baron. Since heās also probably a guest. I think. And heāsā¦ respected. So itās got to be good timing.
I start to slow down a tiny bit.
He inclines his head to the elf, clearly trying to communicate a āgo aheadā to sharing stories.
Wanderer is used to small portions (lmao worldwound), so he tends to eat fairly slowly. He has a fair bit left.
Actually- wait, what if he eats super slowly and makes me last. I shouldā¦
ā¦
I look to Lionel, and eat in a mixed pace between him and the Baron.

(Fair. It helps that to Zelsh, mealtimes are for eating, not talking.)
Zelsh would clearly be enjoying any mest that wss served, although heād also serve himself some vegetables to be polite, along with a carrot if there wax any to the right of his plate. It was considered polite to do so while eating in someone elseās house as a guest after all.
Zelsh was quite impressed by the baronās story too. āThat reminds Zelsh of when Zelsh encountered two giant spiders alone recently. I managed to kill one of them, but the other one managed to getvaway.ā the half-orc commented.
(And Zelsh here having beaten two giant spiders at once. Giggles Curious how you were expecting that fight to go now Arete.)

Arius tends to eat quickly; a habit formed by both his former occupation, and the lack of anyone telling him to eat slowly when he was a child.
However, given theā¦ nature of his current surroundings, he makes sure to hold back his improper eating habits, and spends more time than usual on chewing his food properly. In silence.
The food is delicious, no doubt, but after his first bite he learned quickly to lessen the size of his portions instead, as to make it easier for him to spend more time on tasting and chewing and chewing and chewingā¦ until the taste completely vanishes from his mouth.
(What an ingenious method this is. It seems I have learned yet another useless lesson today. āChewing Properly: How to waste time and energy when eating.ā)

She hesitates for a moment, before jumping into a story. āDid you ever fight a vermlek? One time, we were accompanying Her Ladyship, and we saw a suspicious traveler by the side of the road ā we go to take a closer look, and the next thing you know, heās going after us with his Abyssal magic. He had some kind of spell that could make a whole group of people start bleeding, but thank the gods, we were able to put a couple arrows between his eyes before he could cast it a second time.ā
āI remember that,ā says Halina. āHe was carrying Mendevian coinage, so my best guess is that heād possessed some poor fellow and hitched a ride across the Lake of Mists and Veils.ā
āFirst time Iām hearing of this,ā says the baron, but the tone is friendly teasing more than a reprimand.
