#Vuokko isn't sure what to think

Just an update from last week: this is how things played out.
The deacon of the cathedral and the captain of the guards came into the room. Vuokko hid with an 18 (thank you Pass without trace) in a pew on one side.
The Carrier DREW ATTENTION TO HIMSELF (Vuokko face palmed) and used disguise self at first to try to look like someone else from the cathedral. This didn't work and he played chicken with the deacon as the deacon heated the bell The Carrier was near by.
The captain of the guards moved to let the deacon deal with The Carrier and saw Vuokko with a 23 (vs her 18 to hide). He just looked at her and smiled.
The Deacon is displeased with The Carrier and sends him out. Vuokko changes into a spider so she can GTFO. As she climbs out a window, she sees the captain of the guards come back in and slice the deacon down with his sword! He also cuts his tongue out of him???
Anyway. Vuokko decides she'll climb up to the roof to see why The Carrier wanted her to go up there. She hears singing and giggles coming from the bell tower and finds a chunk of mirror held on the bell. In the mirror shard is what looks like The Carrier looking back at Vuokko.
Shard-Carrier in the mirror comes from a land where the calamity never happened, showing Vuokko tall cities of glass. But something has been set into motion that will bring ruin to both worlds. The Carrier is going to bring something from the other world to our world. The Carrier's god (or w/e Shard-Carrier is) needs someone to be a wet nurse for the child--LOL. Nah, Shard-Carrier wants Vuokko to help raise the offspring and guide The Carrier in doing so. Shard-Carrier says she sees kindness of Vuokko and will repay her with whatever she desires.
OH and Shard-Carrier mentioned telling Vuokko "truths" about her Grandmother. Truths are never a good thing!!
#dnd#Shanties of Swindlehurst#Arx Conversus#at first thought Shard-Carrier was like his offspring somehow talking from the womb#but now I think it's The Carrier's mother and The Carrier might come from the other world?#Vuokko isn't sure what to think#she's never wanted to be a parent but would never leave a child to die#ps--Grandmother is a forest being that cares for lost children in the fae forest. She took Vuokko in when she ran away from home#I might be typing this instead of listening to history lessons happening with other characters kekeke
