For the sake of continuity, though you aren't obviously required to follow this as the new DM, Summer is a low level oracle/illusionist who relies heavily on scrolls which she is well versed in using. Scrolls just cost money, she doesn't need mana. She is not a dragon in human form because Ashley's True sight saw her clearly as human. However, that doesn't mean she can't be a human in dragon form either by scroll, item, racial ability or otherwise.

Also, there are states of polymorph that permanently change your form which would then show as that form with truesight.

Also it is not verified fact that she is either hunan nor a child, only that she appears as such. Lsstly, her ring is of particular interest to Daren as you know. Use this as you see fit or ignore it.

With the smiths tools secured, Alice keeps quiet about the ball bearings and caltrops. But she waits for an explanation of a heat source.
I can help with many things, but I can't breathe fire, ain't no dragon. In contrast to - other 'people'...

Alice still hasn't completely given up on the idea that Summer might be a dragon in disguise.

Alice raised a valid topic. Will Cat be able to do smith's work in the field without access to a furnace and how does this work in general?

"Smith's tools? You're a smith? Yeah, I got those, I'm a blacksmith myself. But they're expensive, sorry! 25gp."
"As for a glaive, nope. We mostly got dwarfs here. Got all sort of war-axes and hammers, but those guys don't use reach weapons. I could make you a custom one, but that would take about a week. Less if you assist me. Will also cost about 25 gp. And don't think about going anywhere else, I'm the last smith left in this town. But hey, i promise I'll teach you a lot, hehe!"
Cat isn't concerned about the price and considers it a good investment.
Nyaa I'll take the smith's tools Nya yes I can do some smithing and carpenter work Nya but I need training Nya! I'd love to make a glaive together with you Nya and learn Nya I hope we have the time Nya Yulya will be able to say Nya!

Wait, don't you need a furnace or something for smithing? What's the heat source? Magic?
Cat's tail whips around as she thinks.
N-Nya I hadn't thought of that Nya...
Linene Nya can I do smithing out in the field with the smith's tools Nya? How does this work Nya?

Will you be able to make magical weapons?
Nyaa no Nya at least not with my current skills Nya. Can you Linene Nya?

Cat is enthusiastic about the topic and tries to squeeze as much information out of Linene as possible.

Won't be cheap though, 10gp - including catnip treatment!
She grins brightly knowing you likely can't refuse the offer.
"Tell you what! That wizard girl recently brought some excellent materials from Triboar. I can make you similar-style traveler's clothes that are more sturdy, lightweight and breathable. Including shoes and 3 sets of underwear. Will take about 3 days. As for cost, hmm..."
"For 5gp I'd also repair your robe so you have both. How does that sound? 15gp in total. It's a steal!"
Yulya exhales an looks to Cat and Alice for help
Uhh yeah -  I guess it cant be helped...
I appreciate the offer. Please see what you can do! Most important is that we have Cats dress by 13:00.



Linene laughs hysterially.
"Platinum rings? Do I look like a jeweler? You won't find anything like that here unless Edermath magically pops up such rings from another plane. Triboar maybe, but realistically you'd have to go to Leilon or Neverwinter."
Yulya is disappointed but has to admit Linene is right.
Yes I imagined this much, but it was worth a try...
So how much would you give us for the bandit loot Miss Linene? Its a substantial amount of weapons and armor. Look at this fine hide armor!

Linene listens to the story of your adventure in the mine with disbelief.
"Hmm? A druid? Very odd. Were they doing any mining in there? Wait, you killed their leader?? A drow? That doesn't make much sense to me. Anyway, dead bandits are good bandits!"

She looks at the loot and laughs.
"Haha, excellent! I think I'll make a scare-bandit out of the clothes and put it in front of the store! Mmm, with so many weapons, Glasstaff will surely come bothering me again soon. Crazy bastard..."

Y-yes that is true. Miss Elmina spoke of the Redbrands and their leader named Glasstaff, I supose? We lack knowledge about the affairs in this town. But is it not odd that we were sent to this mine? Bandits we interrogated admitted that this was a trap for us. We were sent into a trap - but why and by whom?
Linene shrugs.
No idea. Dwarfs don't like outsiders meddling with their affairs and they're good at refusing help even if they need it. Maybe they just wanted you to do something else to stay out of their way. Or someone's working for those Cloaked Wolf guys. But dwarfs? Can't imagine that!

Yulya waits until Cat has left with Alice to check out the store.
This may seem a bit odd...
She takes out Elminas fabric
We are invited to a party at Master Edermath but our barbarian still lacks a proper outfit. Might you be able to make one in a few hours? We are supposed to arrive at 14:00. And to be frank, Cat is not fond of such clothes. You might not be able to take measurements. On top of that...
Embarrassed Yulya presents the catnip jar
Please infuse the fabric with this catnip so Cat might have less trouble accepting it! I know this request is ridiculous, but  it would help us a lot! But I understand if it is impossible.
Linene raises an eyebrow and gives Yulya a look indicating she's not sure if she heard right.
"You what?"
"Weeell, whatever stuff you're into, I don't judge. But that's a tight schedule..."
Linene eyes Cat from afar and takes some measurements with her thumb.



"She's a big girl, but the amount of fabric should suffice. Good material. Yu got that from Elmina? Can't promise it will fit perfectly, I'll have to make it a bit loose. Better too big than too tight. Oh, and no refunds! Won't find another buyer for woman's clothes this size..."
She starts doing calculations in her mind.
Won't be cheap though, 10gp - including catnip treatment!
She grins brightly knowing you likely can't refuse the offer.

Yulya takes out her cleric vestments
My original clothes were ruined in a magical accident. Maybe you can repair them - or create new clothes suitable for me. But this has no hurry.
She takes a look at the grossly stretched clothes and laughs
"What the hell, even your underwear? Did you overeat in the mine?"

She notices Yulya's embarrassment
"Sorry, sorry!"
"I can save part of the fabric, but your shoes and undergarments can't be salvaged. Hmm, but this fabric - looks nice but is not made for adventuring..."
"Tell you what! That wizard girl recently brought some excellent materials from Triboar. I can make you similar-style traveler's clothes that are more sturdy, lightweight and breathable. Including shoes and 3 sets of underwear. Will take about 3 days. As for cost, hmm..."
"For 5gp I'd also repair your robe so you have both. How does that sound? 15gp in total. It's a steal!"

Furthermore I am looking for 2 platinum rings for my Warding Bond spell.
Linene laughs hysterially.
"Platinum rings? Do I look like a jeweler? You won't find anything like that here unless Edermath magically pops up such rings from another plane. Triboar maybe, but realistically you'd have to go to Leilon or Neverwinter."

Cat wants to buy:
Glaive
Smith's Tools
With Yulya's affairs settled, Linene moves over to Cat, discretely judging her 3 sizes.
"Smith's tools? You're a smith? Yeah, I got those, I'm a blacksmith myself. But they're expensive, sorry! 25gp."
"As for a glaive, nope. We mostly got dwarfs here. Got all sort of war-axes and hammers, but those guys don't use reach weapons. I could make you a custom one, but that would take about a week. Less if you assist me. Will also cost about 25 gp. And don't think about going anywhere else, I'm the last smith left in this town. But hey, i promise I'll teach you a lot, hehe!"

Linene rubs her hands in prospect of a substantial deal

While Yulya talks to Linene, Alice discretely finishes cleaning the clothes and lays them out for display. Still moist but at least not stinky and full of bandit innards.

Nya I gotta practice Nya but I think i can make and repair most weapons and armor Nya also metal tools Nya. Not top notch quality Nya but usable Nya!
Nyaa I'm confident I can make caltrops Nya and ball baring Nya from scrap Nya if I got the tools Nya. Things are expensive here Nya! So don't buy anything Nya until I see if I can get the tools Nya!
Alice isn't overly impressed, but acknowledges Cat's skills
Oh, that's neat and will save us a lot of trouble. And money. I'm useless unless I get my ship back from that thieven' owl. Wait, don't you need a furnace or something for smithing? What's the heat source? Magic? Will you be able to make magical weapons?



If Cat can acquire Smith's tools, Alice won't buy caltrops and ball bearings. If not she'd like to buy 3 sets of each.

What were you even doing in the mine? I thought you went to rescue Gundren? Can you give me a quick summary of what happened there? Did you kill a lot of those bandit assholes? I hope so!
Yulya waits until Cats incomprehensible staccato of Nyas has finished.
Sir Gundren's brothers and Sir Sildar sent us to investigate and clear the mine. We had expected to join them in freeing Sir Gundren - but that was rejected. Instead we found the mine fortified and were greeted by a high-level druid with a cave troll and well-equiped bandits. The mine itself was largely empty. All bandits had been killed fighting the monsters there. We killed bugbears and undead as well as more high-ranking monsters.
Yulya decides to not go into detail about Mormesk and the Spectator here.
We cornered the bandit leader Nezzer - a drow - at the lowest levels. He threw more undead and bugbears at us but by the grace of the Gods we won. I still cannot believe it to be honest. We rescued 2 girls from Phandalin that had been kidnapped. Why - we do not know. Do you have an idea? They had no memories. Also we managed to save a dwarf - Sir Kingir - and together we returned. That is the gist of it. We encountered no further bandits on the way back..

Linene laughs
"I appreciate your concern, but I can take care of myself. I had losses but I'd rather stomach that than fund those weirdos. Did Elmina finally come out of the closet and complain about having to pay the Redbrands to keep her riches safe? She always refused to talk about the matter. Well there's little she hates more than having to pay for something..."
Yulya looks around nervously.
Y-yes that is true. Miss Elmina spoke of the Redbrands and their leader named Glasstaff, I supose? We lack knowledge about the affairs in this town. But is it not odd that we were sent to this mine? Bandits we interrogated admitted that this was a trap for us. We were sent into a trap - but why and by whom?

"Sure thing! What do you need from me this time? My stock is low and my prices are high, no way to deny it. As for tailoring services - any time! "
Yulya waits until Cat has left with Alice to check out the store.
This may seem a bit odd...
She takes out Elminas fabric
We are invited to a party at Master Edermath but our barbarian still lacks a proper outfit. Might you be able to make one in a few hours? We are supposed to arrive at 14:00. And to be frank, Cat is not fond of such clothes. You might not be able to take measurements. On top of that...
Embarrassed Yulya presents the catnip jar



Please infuse the fabric with this catnip so Cat might have less trouble accepting it! I know this request is ridiculous, but  it would help us a lot! But I understand if it is impossible. Aside from that...
Yulya takes out her cleric vestments
My original clothes were ruined in a magical accident. Maybe you can repair them - or create new clothes suitable for me. But this has no hurry.
Furthermore I am looking for 2 platinum rings for my Warding Bond spell. But again this is no urgent matter.
If you can please focus on Cats outfit. It does not have to be extravagant. Elegant and simple good enough for a formal event. We shall pay for your services accordingly.

Yulya bows
