The monster manual does label some creatures beasts.

"Mundane animals, giant versions of animals, and fantasy fauna. Generally defined aa natural parts of the fantasy ecology, lacking society, language, or significant intelligence."

[Thank yous, hellos, goodbyes, are all implied, as far as name, no one asked, the guy was just dead, I said he's exhausted and probably out of sorts, but go ahead and attack him, see what happens.]

Fear not - you are in safety! We are adventurers of Neverwinter. The enemy has been defeated -as unlikely as it may sound. Please relax and slowly drink a bit of soup. Your body is still very weak but you should recover soon.

Yulya hands the dwarf the dwarven mug with Cat's soup. Then she asks Cat to carry him back to the girls and the party settles there for further explanations.

The dwarf is exhausted, wondering who has rescued him or where exactly he is, he's near delirious when he's handed a relic of a mug, he considers if he's actually dead but then where are his ancestors? He sips the soup and nearly chokes on it. He does his best to be appreciative but this isn't edible in his estimation. [Could be the dog meat or something else, who knows.]

He wrings his hands in concern. Stained from years of toil with dirt even Alice can't help.



"Adventurers? Did ya happen to see the Rockseekers brothers?"

[For the sake of moving the story along, I must take some liberties]

You give him a smattering of what's happened and why you were hired, his eyes grow wide at times and sad other times once he's heard enough he offers you this, "Nay they wouldn't have hired that Sildar, not that there's anything wrong with Humans, they were likely tricked and I don't trust him far as I can throw him. From what happened to you here, I can only conclude he expected you to be taken as slaves or killed outright. How a young group of low level adventurers managed this is miraculous, check his reaction when you get back to Phandalin, do it in secret and surprise him if you can, I bet you he'll be white as a sheet and not 'happy to see you.'[/i]

He asks for and examines the heart of the mountain, "Aye this isn't Amethyst, it's condensed and purified mithril mineral ore, a gem worth it's weight in mithril just for the materials within, but as an artifact it's value is priceless, it would have taken centuries for it to grow that size. The only other time I've seen these is when they magically condense it to make those oracle spheres the high wizards use to see into the future or whatever they do."

He explains that he was hired to scout the lower entrance that was recently unsealed but when he did he was caught by Nezzner and interrogated for the map but he didn't have it. He thinks Sildar sold the map and that map is like a key to this mine, without it the mine nigh unnavigable. He knew the Rockseekers were off to recover it, but he thinks Sildar may double-cross them. He thinks whoever that traitor sold it to couldn't decipher it and leading the Rockseekers there meant they likely wanted to ambush them and force them to decipher it. He frets for his brethren.

He doesn't know the girls and never saw them before but knows about the Cloaked Wolves and how they're behind the illegal slavery of the region. He figures Nezzner was either their leader or a high ranking official and you've all been marked for death by their organization. He figures they're well funded and working directly with nobility to supply high quality slaves.

[His accusations and conspiracies are deductively interesting but unfounded. Interactions required.]

Unfortunately for dear old Alice, the chick was nothing but a summon from Ashley's wild magic, in 1 minute it grew to full size, spread its wings and poofed out of existence.

Weapons are honed as Yulya works on the spell. She takes the focus and begins the incantation which will take 1 hour.



Ashley's gift glows a brilliant violet hue and strange unstable magics emanate from it affecting everyone differently

[QUALITY 1d100=85, LUCK 1d100=7, DC15 1d20+5=22, 1d4=3]

Cat's rope suddenly comes to life and attempts to entangle her but she succeeds in avoiding it.  Yulya is bathed in violet light, protecting her from Beasts for 1 day. Such creatures cannot attack or harm her unless they save a Charisma saving throw against her spell save DC15. A small egg appears near Alice, it begins to hatch and a small, yellow chirping chick crawls its way out. The chirps prevent stealth saves.

In the stillness of the mine, free from interruption, the Dwarf's soul is successfully drawn back to its old body. He gasps and coughs, then grabs his chest where a wound is now patched.



The light of life returns to his eyes and he looks up at Yulya as if she's a goddess herself.

The girls remain asleep and can't be awakened.

The dwarf is still dead. Obviously Alice is expected to meticulously clean the dead corpse of the middle-aged dwarf male, moistening his skin to a glistening degree as to properly prepare him for re-life.

[I'll allow it]

No one asked for a combat wheelchair, it is a punishment.

If Alice wants to clean an of age Dwarf man who is dead or unconscious I don't see any issue with that. He will taste surprisingly like truffles mixed with spoiled milk.

You eat and rest

[Hidden rolls]

You rested 8 hours without any incidents but still feel no different and have no idea what time it is. The girls are still unconscious. Any attempts to wake them are in vein. As fat as the dearf is concerned, waiting any longer will make him ineligible for revival.

Is SheShe gone too now?

Well, I'd like to say this is your punishment for Alice thinking she can clean NPCs let alone even think of touching Summer, but even I think that would be very mean, so instead SheShe is gone for no good reason on her own accord. I believe that's more humane, but I have to admit I'm not an expert on what's humane.

[SheShe] Sorry, I'm a Revian in another timeline now. Soooo... But you don't need me to defeat one silly old... dragon?

Ancient Elder Eldrich Lich White-Green Dragon. Did you know, SheShe was my DM in my last novel where I married Bear and was sister-wife to Autumn? I gotta say, she was pretty harsh because I had to watch them and their children and grandchildren die of old age to the point that there was no longer anyone close enough to my original family to think of me until I left from heartbreak. So I'd say she let you off pretty easy.

[Misha] I get to be DM in Cici (SheShe's new name) and Winter's (Ashley's other name) book. Yay!

Aw c'mon Joy!
I want to help with cleaning and moisture and keeping the girls warm and Yulya gets punished for it? My exquisite cleaning service is second to none, and a great honor! Your system is the only one to dislike it - and with Ashley out of the game we're in the majority now! Summer better makes regular - very regular use of her lifestyle cleaning magic or she'll be subjected to the same treatment. Humans are filthy creatures! I've had dirt and cat hair in my tent long enough. Never again!

Yulya is responsible for your behavior since you refuse to take responsibility.

Summer will be rescued by her goddess before you can touch her and you will be separated into four magically sealed filthy jars stored at the heart of four filthy volcanos in four different filthy planes of existence and your ship will be blinked out of existence. It's not a threat, this is in the script.

Yulya and Cat will need to quest to four different mount dooms, ending up covered in soot that they can't wash off, one of them in the negative plane held by The Raven Queen who will stop showering, one in a deserted plane with no atmosphere, it's covered in dust, one in the mechanical plane where they'll have to defeat the demon lord, and let me just say, his odor is ripe, you remember that one you pissed off, and one in the Feywild where neither Yulya nor Cat are capable of existing.

So maybe think about that before you do it. Also the jars will be guarded additionally by ancient ice dragons covered in pine sap and they spread sticky sap everywhere especially in everyone's hair and on their car windshields, ironically within the lava biomes, just so you are as uncomfortable as possible, the jars are held at -40C indefinitely so you can't physically recover.

Then the Dragons will be taught how to make animate bricks, really dusty ones, and they will play happily with the bricks making a complete mess as friends and then teach the bricks to be racist against slimes and think poorly of jars.

Additionally, as punishment, Yulya will be struck paraplegic so she'll have to use a wheelchair pushed by Cat, it's magically cursed, "Yulya's Dirty Wheelchair".

But if that's the way you want to play, who am I to say you can't.

Your estimatrs can be based on real-world items for weight ot this:

Tiny 0lb
Snall like a pocket watch .1lb
Light clothing .25 per item
Something that would weigh about like a double cheeseburger 1lb
From there just use number of double cheeseburgers conversion.

For value, you will need to get anything appraised if you can't figure it out. Most storekeepers will tell you about non-magic items for free.
