"Yes. I will rest here, then I will swim back to where I came from," the dinosaur says.
"Thank you for helping me." The beast lowers its head in a respectful manner before tromping off to find some place to settle down.
OOC:
Everybody gains a Hero Point!
With the fey driven off, you head back into the manor, concerned for Oriole's safety. Following Grandmama's directions, you head into one of the chambers adjoining the main hall. A beautiful piano occupies a nook to the north in this spacious room, with sheet music sitting upon it. Along the walls are several instrument stands holding a violin, mandolin, flute, and lyre. A harp sits next to a white couch to the west. Windows look out onto the terrace and gardens, and musical notes etched in gold-leaf decorate the wooden trim on the walls. A spiral staircase in the south leads up to the house’s second floor, its entrance adorned with a wooden archway. A field of energy shimmers within the archway itself.
A bearded man relaxes in a comfortable chair near the eastern window. When he spots you, the man rises up from his chair with a gasp of relief.
"Oh, thank goodness! Somebody has come to the rescue! My name is Miavri. I'm a good friend of Oriole's, and I've been staying here as a guest. We're under attack by a group of strange fey! Oriole fled upstairs, only to become trapped in there by some sort of fey magic that’s blocked the archway. You have to get to them to make sure they are okay!"
