Wash | Purple (+1 Red task) | OTA

1. Mission-Oriented

Wash is determined to do what he can on this mission. He hadn't been able to do a damn thing when most of his teammates had been lost, incorrectly tethered, back home but not really - he hadn't been able to help anchor - but this? Fight monsters, protect people, help rebuild? This is Faerun shit. He's got this.

(Never mind that he disappears for about an hour after they get settled in the inn, or comes back with a huge grey cat draped across his shoulders. Find Familiar takes some time, after all, and he's missed Athena.)

He can be found helping ferry people from place to place, holding off the threats from the forest that have made their way to the roads. He can also be found helping move debris, and if you look like you're capable of lifting something large, he may reach out to you and ask you for a hand. And if you hear a thunderclap in the farmlands, it's not a void storm - it's him, using Thaumaturgy to try to drive a pack of bloodthirsty chinchillas back into the woods.

Lend him a hand - much as he might try, no man is an army, even if he does have a fae cat helping out.

2. Monster Hunter

He'd heard about the voidblobs. He'd been warned. Somehow, he still wasn't expecting to come across one, and while he's not completely unprepared, he's still not happy. He's lost his rifle somewhere in the grass, and he doesn't have time to look for it while this thing is on his ass; instead, he's doing his best to fight some horrifying amalgamation of buffalo and hyena that has way too many eyes with his borrowed sword. He parries a set of claws and dodges to the side as Athena, furious and unable to help, hisses and yowls from out of reach. Her yowling and his yelling are certainly catching attention. "Why are you immune to swords? What the hell!"

Help him, or watch and laugh and pray the voidblob doesn't turn on you. Both are legitimate strategies.

The camp is, if not peaceful, at least calmer than most places. Wash has finally sat down for some rest and some food, because there's no point in pushing if it'll just cause him to collapse. Athena fusses long enough to make sure that he is taking care of himself, and once she's satisfied he's resting, she moves on to the rest of the camp. He'd told her the mission tenets, and one of them is making teammates feel better, and she can definitely do that. She's a cat, after all. People love cats.

To that end, you may find a very large, very fluffy grey Norwegian forest cat rubbing against your ankles or settling very insistently into your lap. Time for you to relax. Relaxing is good. Let her purr all over you.
