Lia smiles happily as Gaelin is finally healed. She hugs Slymae back warmly." Rest now Gaelin. You will be back to your old self very soon." She nods at Lawrance." Well done Lawrance. That was great teamwork." She strides out and leaves them alone.
She will spend the days travelling getting to know Cratol's friends and watching Gaelin's progress carefully. When she isn't doing that she is usually with Velon. She enjoys being able to be with Velon and relax just a little.
Mari will seek out Morgaine to weapon train and spar with. She knows that their fight against Tiamat will continue to get tougher and pushes herself harder every day to be prepared.
Velon will check in with Lia and the rest on how it is going with Gaelin, welcome Sylmae to the castle, and check in with the Captain, Niko's mom, the hired help around the castle, etc. As he walks around each day.
He will spend some time trying to get the wyverns used to his presence in hopes of being able to ride one some day. For now he is content to try to get close, feed them, pet them, etc.
Velon also asks some of the more martial characters to train with him in the courtyard as he has been working on his footwork, balance while swinging a heavy hammer, and overall agility. He will gladly take a beating from Cratol, Morgaine and Poljen for a couple of days if he can make some improvements in those areas.
He also checks in with Mari during this time, along with anyone else who wishes to speak to him, of course. "Mari, how are you doing? I trust everyone is treating you well these days. So much happens so quickly around here, I'm sure trust in the one standing beside you when facing a dragon comes quickly. I can see that you are always silently watching for trouble amongst those we meet, or those we welcome back… Thank you for that. It makes me rest a bit easier at night." He adds "I am glad you didn't have to kill the wizard, though," and winks at her.

Morgaine steps up to the table and studies the cards carefully. After a bit she chooses the very top one.
When Mari seeks her out she will spare with her to help get her better ready for the next battle and keep up with her skills. Morgaine will also do some "Exercise" with Cratol at the battle mounts and chat with him to get to know him a little more.
Out of Character: I am assuming they are in the same design as they were for Velon.
Hearing the voices in the dining room as he passes, Lawrance sees the scene and smiles, seeing easily into the depths of the hooded figure. Interested in what he's playing at, Lawrance steps in and waits patiently in line for his turn.
"An excellent choice, young warrior," Warlock Unknown says to Morgaine. "Now, let us see what your future holds! You have drawn the six of swords, the card of the Berserker. (Laugh), this is quite ominous indeed! I see a treasure guarded by a madman deep below the sea. Truly the fates have you and this individual coming face-to-face in mortal combat. Tell me, do you think yourself strong enough to defeat the Mad Sea Dog? (Laugh)!"

"Step right up, o' cleric of Sune, for it is now your turn to choose a card," the mysterious, extremely unknown figure says. Once Lia has chosen her card, he flips it over and grins wickedly, "You have chosen the eight of glyphs, the card of the Bishop! Hmm, but this is very sad, very sad indeed," the figure rubs his nonexistent beard. "You will know loss, my dear. A terrible, unavoidable loss. Time is a cruel mistress, but you may find some solace and healing in a sanctuary hidden behind amber doors. OR, you may find forbidden secrets that would lead you to even deeper despair. Your choices will either guide you to the light, or tear you down into darkness!"

"A wizard?!? I look forward to this fortune with great interest, o' smart, bookish one," the absolutely, completely 100% unknown figure states. Once Lawrance has chosen his card, Warlock Unknown flips it over and looks shocked, "WHAT?!" he exclaims. "Sometimes, even someone as great as I, can be surprised at how accurate the cards can be! For this is the four of stars, the card of the Abjurer! Hmm, I foresee a terrible battle against a great dragon. However, if you succeed, look to the highest peak and you shall find an artifact of great power. Any Wizard would certainly die for it. (Laugh)."

Perry immediately throws off his shroud and yelps, "AH, it's real, the evil magic is real!" He scrambles to put all the cards away back into his bag. Then, he runs around and frantically removes a few of the easy-to-reach drapes to let the light back in. He blows out the candles.
The bard looks worried. He hides under a table. His tail sticks out onto the floor.
Showing astonishment at the sudden frantic movements of the Bard, Lawrance stands up and rushes out as well, holding in his laughter until he reaches a distant corner.
