Ice Peak Wednesday August 16th, 2006 3:59:34 PM Outside of Mjolka's Long House Neco Dregar and Garret meet up after making their respective sweeps of the Villag. Neco having found useful equipment, but nothing solid on an informational level of anything behind the attack, seeks direction with what she did find from Garret. Dregar and Garret have mentally tallied the dead in their moving through the village to help others and all and all the number is not so bad. 8 villagers have actually died, 14 more were wounded but will recover given Domi's blessings and time. Every time Dregar stops to help, another villager gives him a nod of thanks. Over the past couple weeks it has become more and more clear to the dwarf that the people of Ice Peak are seeing him as a son and family member and not a dwarf. Not more than a few minutes later voices of alarm erupt from the north east LongHouse. Villagers charge out screaming that Elfr'Ásleif has been taken her mother lies unconscious inside with several other wounded children. Shouts call for Bjorn mostly, but some simply call for people to come running. Many answer the call and dash in the direction
Inside of Mjolka's Long House Bohdi arrives with a minor annoyed look on his face. Silly bird was making no sense what so ever. The copper smell of blood and the macabe scene that assaults his nose and eyes quickly replaces that face with one bordering on horrified. Bohdi recovers fairly quickly and sets an unseen servant to fetch a bucket and another towards some scrubbing furs on the wall. Magical spectacles are donned and the precense of magic is undeniable and within seconds Bohdi locates 3 auras around Mjolka and one of them is moderate. Bohdi can not determine the school of magic involved though and a shiver slips down his spine as his gaze falls on the old woman. Aiden turns the whole scene to Nauthiz'Ull and steps outside with the intent to make a loop about the village exterior. The cries from the North east grab his attention as soon as he exits.
Nauthiz'Ull moves up and starts to try and clean the woman and also to look more closely for a source of the all the blood. The blood of course clings and smears upon anything it touches and soon the cloak is coated. Nauthiz'Ull whispers quietly to her and verifies that she is indeed completely unharmed physically. His voice seems to spark some recognition in her and she looks up at him at the mention of Frigg's name. Her eyes alight in memory and she smiles, "A beautiful child, so proud of her I am, and you Nauthiz, a proud name you carry and I am sorry I will not be able to help you now as I should have." Her face falls and she becomes quieter, "But yes I did what I must and would do so again. I...I need to get clean, yes ...yes I think that would be best now." With Nauthiz'Ull's help to her feet she begins shuffling towards an area obviously set for washing purposes.
Aiden (sub Kup) Wednesday August 16th, 2006 5:18:28 PM
Aiden hears the cries from the northeast. "Someone was taken," he rumbles to himself and his wolf. "A child!"
He turns to the wolf, his eyes glinting with a sense of purpose. "They will need trackers! Come!"
He dashes swiftly to help, with his wolf tagging at his heels, toward the northeast longhouse ... and as far, and as fast, from Mjolka'Frodr's black magicks as possible.
Bohdi Nackle d20=18 d20+4=13 Wednesday August 16th, 2006 5:23:49 PM
While Bohdi's Unseen Servants helped to cleanse the longhouse and Mjolka'Frodr of the seemingly vast quantities of blood, Bohdi turned to the adults and children that had been present. He made sure to question Squork, too.
"There was powerful magic here," Bohdi explained. "It still envelops Mjolka'Frodr, although I cannot determine its type. Who saw what happened here? Tell me--it might help me to help Mjolka, and the village, too."

His attention still intent upon the mystery of Mjolka's longhouse, Bohdi's hearing had (apparently) not yet registered the cries from the northeast.

Watching cautiously as the elderly lady moves around the room in a semidazed state, the ranger's eyes narrow at a few of her words.
"Mother, what do you mean you cannot help me now as you should have?"
The ranger stays firm in the longhouse as he confirms that Mjolka is not going to fall over dead on him. Once she excuses the young man, Nauth will make his way outside for some clean air and word from his wunjos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I will be out of town Thurs and Fri so I will be missing one post it seems. I am sorry for not letting anyone know sooner.
Dregar Thursday August 17th, 2006 8:43:42 AM
When Dregar hear the screams he starts to run towards the noise. He pulls his axe out as he runs, expecting the worst.
When he arrives on the scene he stops short, realizing no target is present and that it is a more inpotant situation. He tries to move to the scene where everyone is and sits back and listens to what is set.
Garrett Thursday August 17th, 2006 10:43:23 AM
"Excellent tally on the goods Neco, let's pile them up in one of the buildings for now, and decide what to do with them later."
Garrett's further thoughts are interrrupted by all the commotion of calls for help and he races off in the direction of the northeast longhouse. If needed when he arrives, he will move through the throng of villagers and heal the wounded woman and children.
