Yulya sleeps uneasily. The loss of Ashley - and as she discovers also of her guardian angel - hits her deeply. Yulya prays to Eldath seeking for advice and hoping she will not be left by her as well. And by her remaining friends.


Waking up Yulya looks at the girls with slight concern.
It looks like we cannot waste more time. Alice - Cat we need to revive the dwarf now!

Yulya leads her diminished party to the priests quarters once again and has Alice open the door. She carefully peeks inside ready to attack any undead dwarf wandering around. Assuming the dwarf is still as dead as can be, Yulya has Cat carry him southwest of the remains of the forge - to the same spot where Ashley and Mormesk left. Mana appears to be thickest in this crystal-filled cave.

The body is placed on the draperies and Yulya gives it another look. First signs of decay are already showing.
Alice I have another job for you! See what you can do with your healers kit and your abilities before I begin.
Cat may I task you with looking after the girls? Check by here every now and then!

When Alice is done Yulya takes out her new and improved focus infused with Ashleys Wild Magic.
I wonder how this will turn out...
Alice stay clear of the body!

Yulya kneels down and begins the revival ritual with a prayer to Eldath and Corellon asking to return this poor mans soul to his body - so he is willing to return to the mortal realm.

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.

Yulya will be struck paraplegic so she'll have to use a wheelchair pushed by Cat, it's magically cursed
finally we have arrived in dnd2024 - woke edition with the combat wheelchair!


sorry but Yulya will continue to employ Alices cleaning services. first bc its hilarious and second because theyre useful. im sure Summer can take care of herself she already demonstrated she can use cleaning magic so there shouldnt be a problem. the dwarf however - well hes dead.

Cat wakes up and looks around
Nyaaah are they still sleeping? Are you sure they're alright Yulya Nya?


Cat helps carrying the dead dwarf to wherever Yulya thinks is appropriate for the revival. While she is busy, Cat hones her weapons and inspects her gear, periodically keepin ga watch on Yulya and the girls and  listening for unusual sounds.

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.

Cat looks bewildered
Nyaa you can do that Yulya Nya? He's really dead probably for a few days now Nya! Won't he be an undead Nya like a zombie Nya if you revive him?
Not in this sense Cat! But his wounds will have to be treated or he will look like one! I want to hear out the girls first. I do not wish to revive people whose deeds I know nothing about...

Yulya takes out her focus and she notes it looks different now, it has a strange violet hue reminiscent of Ashley's eyes, it has also somehow accumulated new growth, like it has grown on its own in the presence of the energy left in this crystal cavern, and it's fully charged. She can tell it has Ashley's flavor of mana in it.
Yulya realizes in astonishment that somehow, by some way, Ashley's essence has blessed this focus.
Ashley's Resilient Gift Notes: This focus has grown to 12MP and will refill itself at a rate of 1MP per hour, it cannot accept any other Mana, it has attuned to Yulya, 100% chance of wild magic effects. It has gained the attribute "resilient" and has far greater resistance to self-destruction.
Yulya looks at the focus with amazement.
This is unheard of. How is this possible? Ashley you dummy! I'd rather have you here than an improved focus! Just how well have you planned your departure?
With this the revival of this man should work smoothly.

Yulya decides to eat and take a short rest before beginning the ritual.

Alice Nyaa! Sorry to disturb you Nya but I'm taking one guild ration from your backpack Nya! And you can make all sorts of simple stuff right Nya? I need something like eggs Nya just a bit Nya. Sticky protein as binding agent Nya!
Yulya focuses closer on Nezzers rings blotting out anything that is going on over there.

The breaded cutlets are fried in the pan while the guild ration is warmed and portioned as a side dish. Cat cuts the pickles into thin slices as garnishment.
Nyaa not perfect but it'S something Nya! Food is ready everyone Nya!
Yulya looks up from the rings none the wiser.
Good work Cat! Let us eat!

Alice takes her share of the breaded snake and takes out the dwarven mug
Yulya-sama we need something to drink even if it's only water! I think your method is better than mine. And - an authority to hold a speech! For Ashley!
Yulya sighs and closes her eyes. She uses CREATE WATER to fill one of the barrels. Then she gestures to Alice to give her the mug.
Alice get into human shape and put on some clothes!

She dips it into the barrel to fill the mug with water and raises it into the air.
Forgive me Ashley... we have nothing but water for this toast to you.

Yulya turns to Alice and Cat
My friends! Barely a month has passed since we entered Neverwinter and became adventurers! It feels like an eternity for me! In this short time we have experienced quite many adventures and come so far - leveled up and reached level 5! And yet - our journey with Ashley has ended here and now. Even a pessimist like me would not have imagined we would lose a team-mate and friend so prematurely. I was confident in my abilities. And the will of the gods to keep this party together. But we lost Ashley not by tragedy but by her own volition. Honestly I do not know how to feel about this. But I hope she has made the right decision that makes her happy.

Yulya folds her hands in prayer. She imagines Ashley relaxing at the beach and agrees she probably has hit the jackpot. What fool would choose to return to this world of chaos and despair instead of staying in paradise?



Let us now feast in remembrance of Ashley!
Yulya takes a sip from the cup and then passes it to Cat.Then she sits down to eat the meal Cat prepared

lol if theres anything causing Yulya insomnia its losing Ashley which she considers her responsibility. and to a lesser degree experimenting on the dwarf. i tried to give the items  a reasonable weight like you suggested but the official stats are all over the place. a warhammer only weighs 5lbs but a pickaxe 10 lbs. i mean wtf. i will give the ore samples 1lb each.
so anyway Yulya has decided to wait until the girls wake up and question them before reviving the dwarf. it will take an hour and she needs some rest too.

oh btw - is SheShe gone too now? she said Corellon was in charge now. did Yulya also lose her guardian angel? that would be - tough for her.

Cat raises an eyebrow and confronts the slime
Alice Nyaa! Sorry to disturb you Nya but I'm taking one guild ration from your backpack Nya! And you can make all sorts of simple stuff right Nya? I need something like eggs Nya just a bit Nya. Sticky protein as binding agent Nya!
The slime mat makes rustling slime noises and continues its cleaning work

Cat happily places Ashley's mess kit next to the slime and resumes cooking.
Alice extends a pseudopod and excretes a clear odorless protein solution suitable for the job as egg replacement

Nyaa not perfect but it's something Nya! Food is ready everyone Nya!
The slime mat jerks, quickly finishes its cleaning job and morphs back into girl form
Oh that was quicker than expected! I'm looking forward to it! I hope my proteins were useful, I can make all ingredients but more complex ones will take a lot of time in this puny form!

Alice takes her share of the breaded snake and takes out the dwarven mug
Yulya-sama we need something to drink even if it's only water! I think your method is better than mine. And - an authority to hold a speech! For Ashley!
