The morning was mostly uneventful for me, though Par finally managed to drive off the invaders. He pulled a gambit that resulted in killing half of their remaining mages, at that point they had to retreat.

During my meditation I didn’t make significant progress, I did make progress just nothing I can represent in numbers.

The evening was very interesting for one reason; Tiddol went into labour. I tried to help her out any way that I could, but there wasn’t much I could do to help. She didn’t need much in the way of healing, and what little there was to heal would be counterproductive to heal anyway. She was in a lot of pain at first, but after I gave her a small amount of a long-lasting variant of Flore her pain dropped sharply. At that point there wasn’t much I could do, so I tried just being nearby, out of the way of the people that could actually help, mostly Mest and, to my surprise, Talus. Apparently, she has some experience delivering babies by sheer happenstance.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Unfortunately, the person in the group that has the most experience delivering babies was also the one pushing them out of her body, which admittedly is a very necessary step in the whole birthing thing. Apparently random groups of people being asked to help deliver a child is a relatively common occurrence? Though it might have to do with the groups more scholarly connections in addition to her usually being the generalist of the group.

As for Mest, he has more theoretical knowledge.

Apparently, there has been a complication with the process, nothing dangerous considering the magical support Tiddol is getting, but still time-consuming. It won't be over until the morning.

So Good Night Diary.
