Before the ceremony, seeing the gnoll's condition, the mage offers "It isn't right for this creature to watch the ceremony. If nobody wishes to speak to it, I will do the honors...". I nobody stops him, the mage pulls out his knife and cuts the throat of the gnoll and watches dispassionately as the life drains out of him. As the pyre is lite, he stands in respect for the dead.
Olana Wednesday July 5th, 2000 6:12:20 PM
Olana stands solemnly before the pyre, whispering an elven prayer... "May the spirit be free, may the path to Arvanaith be found. Journey well..."
Cleaning Up(DM Sam) Thursday July 6th, 2000 10:50:42 AM
as Figment kills the remaining gnoll, Callistan grimly watches as Shadrach does as he requests. after a few minuets, when the bodies have been consumed by the flames, he gathers up the remaining ashes and puts them into a pouch he had pulled off his belt. "Well," he says with a sigh. "Lets head back to the village. Its already late, and im sure your all exhausted." then he turns back down the path and motions for everyone to follow him
Ingrge Thursday July 6th, 2000 10:50:43 AM
hearing Callistan's call for return to the city, Ingrge sighs heavily and with strung bow and arrrow at hand takes up a position in the middle of the group.
Figment Thursday July 6th, 2000 12:49:48 PM
"Too bad we didn't take out the shaman. That would have set the gnolls back a great deal. I despise unfinished business!". The tired mage follows the warriors as they go back to town looking forward to a good meal and a good night's sleep.
Olana Thursday July 6th, 2000 1:56:34 PM
Olana brings up the rear of the party, as they travel back - staying on the alert.
Flueterflam Thursday July 6th, 2000 7:13:13 PM
(OOC: Hi guys, I'm back) Fluet's face is rather solemn for the occasion. "After we get back, what then?"
Milo Friday July 7th, 2000 2:39:17 AM
Taking up the rear of the group again, Milo saunters along behind, idly thinking of all that he has been through with his relatively new friends.
K'nara Friday July 7th, 2000 6:33:33 AM
K'nara sheathed her sword, looking utterly weary and vastly older than her nineteen years of age. "Let us just get to the city, Fluet," she said with a gusty sigh, "Once there, we can get an update on how the medicine is being distributed and how fares the plague."
Shadrach Friday July 7th, 2000 11:17:42 AM
"I wonder if the gnolls serve themselves or Parnath?" Shad mused on the way back.
Back To the Village(DM Sam) Friday July 7th, 2000 8:58:33 PM
as Callistan leads everyone back to the village, everyone is on guard for something to happen(and guarding the back!!!), but the journey back is uneventful. once they arrive back in the village, Callistan leads them back to the stables. "There's a rest area just inside the stables. Its not the fanciest place in the world, but its warm and clean, with beds and fresh fruit and water. Id invite you up to a more confortable place, but I dont think all of you want to climb in your condition. But ill bid you goodnight, I have to report what happened to our patrol, but ill stop in on you in the morning." he says. he bows before them, then takes his leave
Ingrge Saturday July 8th, 2000 12:53:16 PM
Putting down his pack and taking only his staff with him, Ingrge goes off to see about Moon Shadow and the other mounts.
Milo Monday July 10th, 2000 2:53:27 AM
Milo moves into the stables silently, still musing over recent events. After taking off his pack and sword belt, the halfling plops down unceremoniously onto one of the stable beds, and removes his short sword scabbard and all from the belt. Milo then lays back onto the bed, grasping his sword to his chest with both hands, and closes his eyes.
K'nara Monday July 10th, 2000 6:13:14 AM
The weary woman shook her cauled head. "Gnolls and magic--NOT a good combo!" Once back at the tree village, K'nara grabbed herself some fruit, eating it on the way to one of the sleeping areas provided, and--chucking the fruit leftovers out a window--divested herself of her backpack, then removed her sword in its sheath, falling down upon her bunk. Tucking the sword within arm's reach, the female fighter immediately fell into an exhausted slumber.
Figment Monday July 10th, 2000 2:44:45 PM
The mage grabs some fruit and goes in to say goodnight to Jux. Once done he shuffles back to the sleeping chamber, eats, and falls asleep. When he awakens he will replentish his spells.
Flueterflam Monday July 10th, 2000 2:50:09 PM
Fluet eats fruit until his stomach feels three times bigger than it should. After which, he walks over to the sleeping area, holding his stomach the whole way. He leaves all his belongings next to him, lies down, and is out within five seconds.
Shadrach Monday July 10th, 2000 2:50:10 PM
Shad took off his belt and chain mail, and sat down to lean against his backpack, trident leaning against the wall. He stayed up to keep an eye out, but by the time Ingrge got back, he was dozing too.
Olana Monday July 10th, 2000 5:40:59 PM
Olana nods at Ingrge on his way to check the mounts, then finds a place to eat a little, check her equipment and weapons - then rest.
Resting Up(DM Sam) Monday July 10th, 2000 8:59:25 PM
Ingrge finds that all of their mounts, including their wagon and their cargo, have all been cared for and are in good condition. everyone rests confortably, the first good sleep everyone has had in a long time. after a few hours, sunlight seeps into the stables, the first signs of the new day
Figment Tuesday July 11th, 2000 1:24:17 PM
rises and replentishes his spells. He uses the same list he previously had. He then goes and checks on Jux again, happy to find him well cared for. He returns to the others, has some fruit, and waits for the return of Calistan, hoping the elves will heal the remainder of his and everyone else's wounds from the previous night.
Olana Tuesday July 11th, 2000 8:20:10 PM
Olana wakes up to find Figment at least, up already. "Morning," she say with a smile. "Well - I wonder what's on the agenda for today? I suppose we need to get patched up and on our way." She eats some fruit and stashes a little away too, to help supplement her rations.
Milo Wednesday July 12th, 2000 1:56:47 AM
Rolling over in his bed, Milo opens his eyes to see Figment pouring over his spellbook. Without a sound, the halfling rises from his bed, grabs some fruit, and sits quietly eating.. with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Ingrge Wednesday July 12th, 2000 9:55:55 AM
After sleeping and eating, Ingrge does a little studying, checks on Moonshadow, eats again, exercises, rests, takes Moonshadow for a ride, cleans up, stretches out, eats, and then goes to bed.
K'nara Thursday July 13th, 2000 2:26:27 AM
K'nara came into the Talons' quarters in time to hear the ranger's question. "I think--unless there's some urgent matter that Calistan may have for us--that we've earned a bit of a rest before moving on. We'll heal up as fully as possible for the next day or two and replenish our supplies. I'm expecting a package, too, that will catch up with us, so I'm willing to stay put for a little bit."
