Kenisha Sunday June 1st, 2003 11:56:12 PM
"Let's get back to the village, this cave is unsettling." Kenisha says with a shiver.
Brahmah Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:09:17 AM
"Yes Kenisha, the cave smells of death."
Kanchana Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:31:40 AM
Kanchana casts Detect Magic on any remaining treasure, and then takes anything magical and any coins. She also will wait to see if any of the wounded will approach her for any healing, if none bother to then she will get a move on out of the cave. "Chosen, if we ever gain any excess party funds then I recommend that we invest in one or two party Wands of Healing. My personal Wand of Healing will not last forever I'm afraid."
(Casts Detect Magic on the treasure pile. Concentrates for 2 minutes)
Taric Monday June 2nd, 2003 2:35:02 AM
Taric is still thinking about the strange situation they found. Something seemed amiss, but he couldn't tell what though. Shaking his head he decides to just follow the others out of the cave in the direction of the village, but he makes a few quick notes on a piece of paper, so he can think about it again later. He also writes down some pointers to find the way back to the cavern in case they need to return.
Flat-top Monday June 2nd, 2003 6:31:57 AM
"I agree with you Taric, The Zombies, the ghouls, The mummies we have been comming across lately. Leets does this sounds familure?" Wonders Flat-top. "Almost something or someone is dogging us??"
With the help of others, Flat-top will carry the wrap bodies of the two dead colts back to the village.
Aftermath(dm sam) Monday June 2nd, 2003 10:14:53 AM
after everyone has healed up suffenciently, the Chosen leave the cave with the two centaurs and dragging the two dead ones. once they exit the cave they see both Ironarm and Kal waiting for them. Ironarm, who seems on the verge of collapsing, brightens up immediatly upon the Chosen emergence from the cave. he runs to one of the centaurs and hugs him fiercely to his chest. "MY son, I though I'd never see you again." he says and both father and son begin to cry. Kal, on the other hand, is as white as a sheet. those that go near him can smell vomit on his breath, and he's sweating profusely. its obvious that he never been in a situation like this before.
those that choose to examine the treasure more closely find the following items : three scrolls, a set of hide armor, four potions, a wand, a small bead, and quail feather. along with all the items there is 5 small bags with various coins in them(totaling 500 gps).
Ceira Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:25:04 PM
Ceira cringes from Kal's stench as she approaches but she holds it back. She will use her waterskin to wet a piece of cloth and begin wiping away any excess vomit that got on him. This cleaning job is something she has grown used to doing from babysitting back at her village.
Ceira will attempt to identify the items present.
Leets Monday June 2nd, 2003 2:48:27 PM
"Although we should feel better after all those events, I feel a heavier shadow threatening Centaur Island, and I bet we have not finished our quest here...Soon another evil will rise on this land..."
"I'm glad you found your son safe, Ironarm, but I wonder how the other families will react...There are two bodies to bring back to the village, and who deserves funerals..."
If there are any icons of Marteaus cult in the loot, Leets will claim them and destroy them by the fire on the evening.
Flat-top Monday June 2nd, 2003 6:28:17 PM
"Ah! You look better now, Kale. Your tatoos are not so pale now. Would you help me put one of the bodies on my back. Thank-you."
Then Flat-top is ready for the trip Back to the village. "Are we going to identafy the magic items now or wait untill we get to the village?"
Kenisha Monday June 2nd, 2003 8:37:44 PM
"I say we should wait til we are back at the village. But it's Brahmah's call." Kenisha says with a heavy voice.
Kanchana Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 12:10:12 AM
Kanchana guesses that there were no magic items in the treasure since her Detect Magic spell yielded no information. Kanchana will help carry the treasure since that is light enough for her to carry.
(OOC: I take it that the Detect Magic spell that Kanchana cast and Concentrated on for 2 rounds last turn didn't yield any information)
Taric Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 12:35:04 AM
Taric agrees with the others.
"Let's get back to the village first. That will be the safest place to rest a bit and regain our strength."
Taric awaits Brahmah's order to start the journey back towards the village.
Brahmah Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 2:13:44 AM
Brahmah stands up and hefts his pack. "Chosen, let's move." He pauses for everyone to ready their packs and saddlebags.
"We should not identify these items here. It'll suck up valuable time, I think. Let's also heal up while we move. Pick up what you can carry/use of the treasure, then we go."
As the Chosen move, Brahmah will comfort the colts further by telling his funny tales from his time as a pirate, er, sailor.
Kale Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 10:42:46 AM
nodding at Brahmah's words, Kale takes up his traditional spot at the front and begins to lead the group back to the village
Back in Town(dm sam) Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 10:55:22 AM
as everyone packs up, Kanchana's spell finally takes effect and all the items that the group found light up, though none of them seem too powerful. as Ceira helps clean up Kal, he nods in thanks, but its obvious he still hasnt recovered. "My stomache hurts." he tells Ceira
after everyone loads up the treasure and the bodies, Kale leads the group back towards the village. it doesnt take nearly as long to get back as it did to get to the cave. after about three hours the Chosen arrive at the field just outside the village where they defended the village from the earlier zombie attack. the field has been cleared of all the bodies. off to the left side is a new graveyard. as the group approaches the village one of the centaurs from the village ride up to them and says "Startail is here and wondering where Proudhorn and his minotaurs are. I think you need to speak with him."
Ceira Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:04:57 AM
"It's okay Kal." soothes Ceira. She kisses her hand and then begins rubbing his stomach for a few seconds. "How is that?"
She looks at the grisly field that has been cleared. "Such madness must be stopped soon." sighs Ceira.
Kah {Ceil} Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:19:26 AM
As Ceira rubs his stomach, "Hmmm! That fell better, Now my lips hurt, Can you rub and kiss those?" "Tell me Ceira, Did you notice that the spell cast by Kanchana didn't take effect untill we were out of the cave?"
Flat-top Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 6:57:06 PM
After the duty of turning the small bodies to the Cleric, Flat-top "Captain, Do you want some company when you see Startail? I wonder what he has in mind? Maybe Leets should come along too,"
Kenisha Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:02:25 PM
"See to Startail. I have to rest. 'The Little One' is moving around vigorously." Kenisha says with a grimace. "A little too vigourously, I think."
Kanchana Wednesday June 4th, 2003 12:57:09 AM
Kanchana just shrugs at the time delay on the spell and says something half to herself about magic working in mysterious ways. Happy to see that what they found is magical, and therefore hopefully worth more, she turns her attention temporarily to other things. "Are we all going to speak with this Startail, or are some us going to start figuring out what the treasure is, and helping to bury the dead ones?"
Brahmah Wednesday June 4th, 2003 1:47:17 AM
"We will go to Startail without Kenisha. Leets should see to the colts services. And maybe Taric and Kenisha can Identify the items, or Ceira. Whoever doesn't ID the items should go with us." He pauses. "The rest of the Chosen can see Startail and find out what he wants."
Taric Wednesday June 4th, 2003 1:58:31 AM
Taric says in response to Brahmah: "Items can wait till later. Maybe I can give some kind of support when talking to Startail. I'll go with you Brahmah."
Taric turns shortly to Kenisha to make sure she is doing alright before setting off to follow the captain of the Chosen.
Kale Wednesday June 4th, 2003 10:06:43 AM
"Lets go then." Kale says to Brahmah. "Im tired and want to get this over with."
Meeting with Startail(dm sam) Wednesday June 4th, 2003 10:14:05 AM
Kenisha, Leets, and Ceira stay behind while the others head into the village. as they go Ironarm says "Ill go with you. I have a feeling you'll need my support." it takes a few minuets to find Startail, but when they do they find him accompanyed by centaur soilders armed and armored to the teeth. Startail frowns when he sees that Flat-Top is the only centaur besides Ironarm in the group, but none-the-less he walks up to Brahmah and says "Where has your group been. Where is Proudhorn and his minotaurs, and where are the rest of your people?"
Ceira d20+8=16 Wednesday June 4th, 2003 4:06:12 PM
Ceira gasps by Kah's suggestion. "Harumph!" She stalks away offended but not angry.
She goes to the magical items and attempts to identify them.
(OOC: Is it Spellcraft? 16)
Brahmah Wednesday June 4th, 2003 5:48:42 PM
Brahmah realizes that Kah has offended Ceira, so the captain pulls Ceira to one side before the meeting with Startail. "Did Kah insult you?"
The group goes off to meet with Startail. "Well met again, Startail. We rescued several colts of Ironarms tribe from a nasty beast. The Proudhorn disappeared. The rest of 'the Chosen' are recovering from battle. I should be recovering too, but you requested our presence, we're here, what do you want?" Smirks the captain, as he takes a deep breath from the long explaination. "How have you been?"
Kenisha d20+9=24 Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:03:46 AM
Kenisha smiles weakly at Taric as he asks about her. "I think everything's fine. It was probably just a little too much excitement for the little one that's all. Either that or he's going to take after his father and wanted to join in on the fight." She gives a weak laugh and then a couple of deep breaths.
After the others have left, she tries to help on the looking over of items. Without a pearl she can't cast Identify so she looks them over (Spellcraft check =24)
Flat-top Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:35:53 AM
Flat-top stans next to Brahmah, with his arm crossed, stands looking at Startail and companions "Are you on your way to war, Startail? Why all the hardware?" Flat-top does not like this at all, so out of the side of his mouth, he whispers to Brahmah 'I don't like this or the tone of his voice.'
Kanchana Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:51:45 AM
Kanchana follows behind the Chosen who go to talk with Startail. She says nothing for the moment, nor does she step to the front of the group. For now Kanchana just listens to what is said and frowns slightly at Startail's attitude. She finds Startail's behaviour to be somewhat arrogant, and wonders if this is common for him. It begins to dawn on her just how much work is left for the Chosen to do before all Taurs can be united as a people.
Taric Thursday June 5th, 2003 2:54:12 AM
Taric stays quiet in the back of the group, listening intently and keeping his eyes open, not really looking at Startail, but more at the soldiers accompanying him.
As his father once said, followers give away more than the leader.
So Taric tries to find out if the centaurs are up to something. He mentally prepares himself to make himself vanish from sight at the first sign of trouble so he can be of more assistance to the Chosen.
