Hey-
Can any of you make plush toys? I can bring you the materials.

Can work out payment too.

Like this:

( attached to the message is "artwork" of a teddy bear plush (or at least her best attempt at it), drawn by the hands of the very barbarian who once to used terrorise the hells. )

Let me know! Thanks!

Whatever stuffed friend you get your hands on will certainly never replace our beloved Clive, but there's always room in the heart for more, yes?

Once you have your hands on him, I could enchant him to be fire-resistant, if you like.

way ahead of you!!

i've got some fabric left over from getting clothes made

thought i could use a friend

[headhunt]

( somehow the tone seems gravely serious. )

no one could replace clive..........

[netherese]

[It's a serious matter that must be treated accordingly.]

Of course not! It's remarkable how many potential friends for him we came across in our travels, though, isn't it? Of all the things I expected to stumble across in our adventures, a plethora of stuffed bears never even ranked.

[headhunt]

we found much more than bears!
the owlbears are a close second
they've got a great shape

( karlach, those are still bears.

thinking about the collection she has among her things back home, she's reminded that she's usually needed gale to keep them protected from her fire. this is the first time she hasn't.

she feels compelled to express her appreciation. )

thank you gale
for keeping clive and his friends huggable for me

clive's really helped on some the rougher nights

[netherese]

Well, still bears of a sort, aren't they? Bear-adjacent, perhaps, but excellent friends for young Clive all the same.

[He smiles to himself before responding to the next part of her message, endeared.]

As for my part in keeping your friends in fighting shape, it was my pleasure. You may not need such services here, but should anything else of the like ever arise, I would be glad to offer them once more.

I think that it was during our travels that I truly began to come to appreciate the little things, simpler pleasures. Clive may be just a stuffed toy to others, but it's clean he means a great deal to you.

[headhunt]

let's hope i only ask for more fun stuff from now on, wizard

wait
little things?
you calling clive little?
we're gonna have to a have a talk all three of us
when we get back

[netherese]

Now, I would never dare to imply such a thing! Clive may be small in stature, but his presence is great and keenly missed.

All I mean is that the simpler pleasures in life ought not to be overlooked, nor underestimated. A faithful companion like Clive, the comfort of one's favorite book or a familiar dish. Of great importance, each and every one.

[headhunt]

now that's something i can get behind
especially here

makes finding familiar stuff all the more special

not saying i'm homesick
but a little, you know?

[netherese]

I understand what you mean.

While I don't miss the circumstances we left one bit, I do miss home. I'd been missing it for some time even before coming here. If we're able to grab hold of or recreate bits of home that we remember fondly, I think we ought to.

[headhunt]

hey
that's a good idea

think we should decorate the island some more? like a little faerun?

[netherese]

I hadn't quite considered that angle, but that's a splendid idea! Bring a bit of the Sword Coast to our current whereabouts.

[Magic, of course, would make it a simple endeavor.]

[headhunt]

( the blessing of knowing a capable wizard. )

i can find us some really good stones
to make a path on the sand outside!

and maybe ask for seeds for fruit trees
or i dunno
what if we tried to make a garden

( for some more greenery.

also she just assumes gale knows about gardening. based on no evidence at all. )
