The two visitors leave, kindly complimenting you on your skills. Several villagers thank you. Wounds heal and some time has past. Reconstruction has begun. The treants are gruff but helping. They seem to be a bit irritable but what could you expect from a race that has been dormant for hundreds of years. The beach has been flattened but thanks to the Petals no one was killed due to the storm. That doesn't count the casualties from the floodslain. Burials begin with long processions that move slowly around the caves to a centuries-old plot. (OOC: Feel free to post if you want. Any help you want offer for reconstruction.)

Sable lends his strong back to the task of rebuilding and hauling. He will also ask, “Are there some rights that can be performed over the dead to keep them from rising again? It might be wise to do so”

"Thank you so much," said a couple. "Do you know any? We lost our children and wouldn't like to see them rise back up. Could you share that rite, so others could use it. There are so many dead?"

Rolth will also pitch in to the task of rebuilding. Overhearing Sable's conversation with the couple that lost their children, he will express sympathy. "Perhaps the witch, Marie, who warned us of the coming storm, will have some more wisdom to share. Has anyone seen her?" Rolth will ask about for her, and keep an eye out to try to spot her.

As the days pass, Kiwina helps out where he can and where the Petals are asked for, but pays particular attention to the manner in which people are reacting to the children of Domi and listens for news from other areas, particularly if any ships come into port.
He recalls that his tribe used burial at sea, in caves, or in sand dunes. But then, the islands had few areas suitable for liontaur-style graveyards. The spirits of the warriors buried at sea in red shrouds inhabit sharks and protect sailors at sea.
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn Post Sunday December 31st, 2017 9:34:37 PM
Marie, is working on the remains of her small home on the beach as the children of Domi seem to be protected by their parents. Their taur parents struggle to hide the children from the population. The ships previously docked have been destroyed as the sailors gathering to work on a plan to rebuild. Any funerals in the sea area delayed.

Rolth will spend some time helping Marie with her cottage. "Marie, thank you for warning of the coming storm. Do you have any more portents of the future, or has this storm genuinely passed?"
Once done there, he will let the local sailors and fishermen know where his rowboat was stored inland of the damage, and offer its use if they will retrieve it. He will remove the salmon from the storage compartment and distribute it to those most in need, starting with the Children of Domi.

The beach is littered with bodies.... floodslain and Taur alike. Some of the living are gathering the dead while others search for missing. After the DC leaves.. time and life move on.
Alex Marlblehorn comes running up to the group. " This is madness" he bellows. " the dead storm the beach in an army... we lost too much. Too darn much. "
He looks back towards the city before continuing. " This going to be hard to come back from.. we lost part of the city, lost many good Taurs. The dead reads like a whose who of the town. And most of all, the treants blame us. What to do..."
" The roost is gone... as is the Chessford field. I don't know if I could take any more."

Rolth grasps Marblehorn by the shoulders in a companionable way and says, "We have lost so much, let us not lose our cool as well. The people of the Isle will be looking to us for leadership, and we need to provide it. Are we not survivors of the famed Taurnament of Roses? And you the scion of the noble Marblehorn bloodline?

At the words, “Hunting Party”, Sable perks up - as he was not really fully listening - he wonders if Kiwina’s plan is to hunt down....

Kiwina breaks down the steps the taurs need to take to rebuild. The mention of a hunting party perks up Sable who is unsure of the direction Kiwina meant. Sable is more then ready to search for the living.

Rolth will seek out Galene, welcoming others of the Petals to join in. Approaching politely, he will ask in High Woldian and Common, "Oh magnificent protector of the Isle, guardian of nature, deep-rooted font of wisdom, I beseech you to listen to our request for collaboration against that which threatens all, the isle, nature's creatures, indeed the entire Wold.

Co- Dm Matt and Shawn - back to the program Friday January 5th, 2018 1:40:14 AM Rolth moves up with the others towards the huge treants. An old one, if a treant could be old, is obviously Galene. Moss grows on his thick bark, and the other treants listen to him intently. As the group approaches he is about to speak when Rolth starts. The old treant stays quiet the entire time, just eyeing the group up and down.
A loud, scratchy voice echoes from the lving tree... " I was going to propose that you turn around and walk back to your cave and barricade yourselves inside and let us handle this... but your words ring true. I still don't like it, and i still think this lays at your taur feet more then on our branches. That being said, I know you cannot fix this yourselves. You need us. If you fail, the repercussions will resonate to us anyway so there is little reason to not make sure you succeed. "
He looks to the others as they chime in, and he nods. " I don't need your stories. My rings are from when your parents parents were little taurs. Your stories are short, and frankly not very enticing. But again... I do not need this to befall onto us treants what you caused. I do not know what to make of it, this storm was the worst I've seen in my years. You... Kiwina was it.... why only one centaur. Why not more... why the small flesh races?" " Fergal?" Galene calls out. " Come forward." Another oldish treant lumbers(get it) up to the lead treant. What did you see? The oddness you shared with us before the storm? The dancing sands was it? Yeah... check there taurs, halfling and half elf. Fergal was contacted by a young bushling who saw things that were not natural, but also didn't have words in our language.

Tsak wanders up to the group of taurs and treants, the loud, scratchy voice of the tree runs all the way up his spine and makes his hair stand on end. Perhaps that small barrel of ale that he found should have been shared with the group. He meant to share it and only had the first taste to make sure it was still good, and it was good... so good. Things kind of went downhill from there and he sort of lost track of the day. He holds his head in his hands and hopes that his groan wasn't loud enough to be heard by anyone else. There's work to be done lad, he says to himself, and tries to focus on what's happening and what he can do to help.

Elyas listens to the Treant quietly, thinking where there might be "dancing sands" to look into.
Knowledge local: 13
Unless anyone else has another idea of what could be causing this storm, it seems like this dancing sand is as good a place to start as any. Let us take advantage of this lull in the weather and do what we can before another one comes...

Rolth gently claps Tsak on the shoulder, and quietly whispers a welcome to his hungover friend. He agrees with Elyas that they should seek out these dancing sands, but be wary as they approach, as there are potential hazards. Perhaps the treants will offer to reveal the location? Either way, he senses that they are tired of talking to us, so he merely bows in woodenly silent thanks to Galene.

Falco is suitably impressed by the treants and only bristles a little when the presence of the small races is brought into question and mumbles to himself. "lose something in a small hole and see how useful I am."
He gets it back to gather when the talk of the dancing sands comes up and ponders if there is anything is has read about that could account for it.

If the treant could roll its eyes, this would be the moment it would. "I forget that you do not have the wisdom of the woods. The dancing Sands is what our races calls your shoreline... I believe you call it 'the beach'. The place was where Fergal saw the oddness. "
Thought he name is foreign to everyone, the locale is known. The beach is everywhere on the island, but a plot of land that has a knack for quicksand seems like a strong possibility of being the dancing sands.

Rolth suggests that the Petals head over to the area of the dancing sands, approaching cautiously so that we do not fall into it unawares. He will have a rope handy, and thinks we should each find a plank or small tree to carry or drag along. There should be plenty at hand, given the damage from the storm. There may be other hazards or threats, so he'll keep a sharp eye out for them too. (Survival = 26 to spot quicksand and other natural hazards; Perception =

Gothruk will go at the back of the pack and suggests the other heavier taurs do likewise. We don't want too many big bodies falling into quicksand otherwise it'll pull the smaller bodies in after them.
He'll be on watch for quicksand, the layer of water as well as testing each step before firmly placing his hooves. Perception = 12

The thought of quicksand doesn't hamper the petals from heading to the area the Treant called the Dancing sands. Kiwina is able to spot the quicksand before anyone can fall into it, while Rolth is able to figure out a path that keeps them from falling in.
The bigger members stay to the back, figuring if they fall in they won't be able to be pulled out.
The floodwaters from the storm have huge puddles of brackish water and small tide pools. There are hundreds of dead, bloated corpses on the beach but none look like villagers.
The sounds of the waves crashing is a constant, but the place has an odd feel.

Rolth will share what he learns about the safe path through the quicksand, and wait to see what Elyas and the others learn about their surroundings before suggesting that they move down the safe path to see what else they might find. He is also happy to serve as an anchor, which leaves his hands free to wield his glaive. He'll use that for attacks of opportunity as they arise.

Falco jots down notes and sketches before heading to the beach. On the beach he looks around but keeps getting distracted by the waves crashing to notice anything.
Sable, smartly, ties a rope to every member and acts as the anchor. Smart if the wold doesnr open up and swallow the front members and drag him down too.
Elyas casts detect magic but the only auras come from the party.
Rolth also acts like an anchor, and readies his glaive. He poimts out the possible routes.
Tsak takes the point and uses the path Rolth gives and heads through the quicksand. He checks on the bodies as he passes. They all seem similar to the previous floodslain.
Finnian is the one who notices the grouping of the undead by the beach. Where they usually find 1 or 2 bodies.. at one point on the beach are atleast 15 bodies grouped together.
Kiwina asks for guidance, but if anyone is answering he doesn't see it. The animals that are on the beach are acting natuarally.
Falco moves up alongside Tsak to help with the point.

[B] there doesn't seem to be any magic at play here, just what you would expect after seeing the beach cave we were at.
So what do you think fought these floodslain off? They seem to be dead, and not trying to kill us. Think they might be faking it?
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (22/22 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 18) | Glaive +4 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +2 1d4+1 x2| Status: None Wednesday January 10th, 2018 7:17:08 PM
Rolth says, ”Maybe there is a clue in that big clump of undead over there.". Can we find a safe path in that direction? I mean, what could go wrong?
Kiwina (Steve M) (28/28 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:16) | Status: None Wednesday January 10th, 2018 7:45:46 PM "Just before the storm we say lightning striking something in the water" Kiwina reminds the others.
Was that in this area? He looks back towards the caves.
Finnian (Zeke) (HP:18/18; AC: 16; Touch: 13; Flat: 13; CMD: 17) Status: None d20+9=21 ; Wednesday January 10th, 2018 10:03:32 PM "Over there," Finnian points "It looks like there is a mass of bodies" Fresh out of spells having wasted his last of the day trying to impress the druid by summoning an eagle for a split second; Finnian readies his bow and moves with the group, trying to stay out of the front line.
Perception=21 to see if any of the bodies are moving
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC15 (T13/F12) 19/19 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Status: None d20+6=22 ; Wednesday January 10th, 2018 10:44:27 PM
(Perception=22) Tsak moves toward the large group of undead bodies very, very carefully. If it appears safe to do so he'll approach, and maybe even move a few to see what has caused the pile (perception)...

Sable draws his great sword, ready for attack. ”Let’s go take a look at the bodies, they might be covering something important.”

{Perception: 1+2=3} *sigh*
Sticking with Tsak Falco moves to examine the bodies. In doing so he see something shiny on the ground, a small piece of glass worn by sand and water, and completed forget what he was meant to be looking at.

Gothruk sees they are taurs, b. ut not villagers meaning they weren't freshly killed and appear to be dead out at sea/from the storm. He doesn't notice anuthing at sea or in the air.
Elyas asks if the floodslain might be playing possum. If they are.. they are very good at it.
Rolth is able to pick a way safely through the sands to the pile.
Kiwina cannnot tell if the lightning hit in this general area or if it was more out to sea.
Finnian takes out his bow and gets ready for anything that plans to attack.
Tsak moves closer and examines the undead. He doesnt see any visible wounds.
Sable, like Finnian readies his weapon and moves closer.
A flock of gulls take flight from further up the beach, flying towards the sea. A rat scurries out fron under driftwood and starts scampering towards town. Hundreds of liitle crabs scurry out of their dens and crawl down the beach into the sea
Elyas (Ben A.) (21/21 HP | AC: 13; Touch:13; Flat: 10; CMD:15) | Light Crossbow +4( 1D8, 19-20) | Status: Rested d20+3=17 ; Thursday January 11th, 2018 1:22:01 PM
Elyas will slowly movr towards the disturbance up the beach, and keeps a watch out for whatever caused the animals to flee.
Perception 17
Kiwina (Steve M) (28/28 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:16) | Status: None d20+8=23 ; Thursday January 11th, 2018 7:57:51 PM "Do you think a taur should take point?" Kiwina asks. "Galene said current events were precipitated by taurs, and questioned why the small races are with us."
Kiwina does not move to take point, but continues to move down the beach as the group searches. He's just feeling restless and disquieted. (Roll: perception = 23 as he continues to watch)
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (22/22 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 18) | Glaive +4 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +2 1d4+1 x2| Status: None d20+9=20 ; Thursday January 11th, 2018 8:45:18 PM
Rolth is willing to take point. He continues to move ahead cautiously, watching for signs of danger or anything else interesting. (Perception = 20)
Finnian (Zeke) (HP:18/18; AC: 16; Touch: 13; Flat: 13; CMD: 17) Status: None d20+9=17 ; d20=20 ; Thursday January 11th, 2018 9:05:20 PM
Nestled safely behind Rolth, Finnian feels much safer, it's not the dead bodies that disturbs him but rather he is still coming to grips with the fact that they are walking through a beach of quicksand. "Best to have you out in front with your keen eye," He says. Finnian looks around but is more preoccupied with trying to figure if there are any other threats that he may know about when it comes to quick sand.
[Perception=17 I rolled a Natural 20 for my quicksand knowledge because wasn't sure if it was Survival +9, Nature +10 or Geography +7]
Gothruk Gore (Logan) AC 13 (T12F10) 17/17HP Guisarme +4 2D6+4 Status: None Friday January 12th, 2018 9:30:50 AM As long as Sable, Kiwina or myself are not first we should be able to lift anyone else out of some sand. Gothruk continues moving along behind the pack, Guisarme in one hand and ropes stabilised in the other.

They run from a threat but I do not see anything." he lets out a long sigh "We should see form what they are fleeing."
He starts to move forward but stops again to pick up a small stone, this time with a red line of minerals though it, planning to polish it later or at least admire it more.
