AI Summary
5 min readThe B-Team has been reunited with Bunlap, the dashing croak folk warrior who vanished earlier in their quest, and the reunion brings both warmth and tension. Bunlap emerges from the cistern above the party’s secret hideout, scraped but still impossibly handsome, with golden flakes in his eyes and muscles that glisten in the firelight. He and Gunther share a meal and a conversation that reveals a fracture in Gunther’s faith: the Wilderflower, Gunther’s deity, has accused him of fraternizing with other gods. Gunther protests that he only spoke to other deities to find the Wilder Shield, never to worship them, but the accusation stings. Bunlap advises him to repent and prove his devotion by retrieving the shield. The party learns that Bunlap has been exploring the keep on his own—he found a foyer, a spinning contraption, a lab, and a room with riches guarded by a monster he fled from. When the party describes the chimera they fought earlier, Bunlap confirms it is not the same creature. He also reveals his deepest wish: to find love, like Gunther has with his mate Punia.
