Dukejr01: k
Y3KGRL has entered the room.
Dukejr01: I assume Corren has talked to the family about the danger from Sharkey?
Y3KGRL: brb
Missiledine: You will awake refreshed and ready to go.. Rolb is up and ready as well
Docportal: <Another, newbi>
Missiledine: Who?
Dukejr01: and Corren also tells them of the armour being made and that if he doesn't return it is theirs.
Missiledine: ok
Dukejr01: Corren kisses mom goodbye and mounts uo
Dukejr01: up
Missiledine: Ok, you head out down the road towards Lendale
Dukejr01: Corren is on point.
Missiledine: the road follows the river most of the way, and with the leaves down you can see any traffic. There i
Missiledine: is no sign of the boat, but of course, they should be in Lendale long ago!
Dukejr01: Corren doesn't worry about it.
Dawn12 has entered the room.
Dukejr01: <hi dawn>
Missiledine: You have ridden a few miles when you notice, through the mist that is still on the water, a small
Missiledine: fire on the Palood side of the river. Which, needless to say, is most unusual
Dukejr01: Corren reigns in and trots as close as poosible. taking a look.
Missiledine: It's hard to make out, but there appears to be someone sitting, tending the fire, kinda hunched
Dukejr01: Corren doesn't bother to alert Rolb, he will have seen.
Missiledine: over, with another person stretched out on the ground next to the fire
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb. Shrugs. "Say hello?"
Missiledine: you also notice the prow of a blue rowboat projecting about a foot out of the water
Dukejr01: "Shit!" Corren mutters shaking his head
Missiledine: Rolb grunts, "Gotta be daft to camp over there."
Dukejr01: "Could that be our boat?"
Dukejr01: "Ho there!" Corren hails them.
Missiledine: "Eh?" Rob peers, "Aye, I think it is."
Y3KGRL has left the room.
Missiledine: Dawn: Across the river you see two horsemen, leading a third horse, at the edge of the water
Dukejr01: <hello dawn/>
Dawn12: "hello"
Docportal: <Asleep at the wheel>
Dawn12: "yea >
Dukejr01: Corren shakes his head. "Its them"
Dawn12: "how there:"
Dukejr01: "Do you need.... Nevermind, We will come get you soon." Corren says to Dawn.
Missiledine: "What happened!?" Rolb yells
Dawn12: "we ran in to so trouble"
Missiledine: Under his breath adds, "And what do we do now?"
Dukejr01: "I can ride back to Soche and borrow a boat. Maybe you can rig a travois for Fred. he looks wounded."
Missiledine: "Hmm, allright, I'll see what ah can do."
Docportal: <Only by a big turtle.>
Dukejr01: Corren rides back to Soche.
Missiledine: In the village they laugh, "What? Homesick already?"
Dukejr01: Corren rolls his eyes. "I need to borrow a boat. Looks like our friends have had an accident."
Missiledine: There are a number of dugouts, dorys and rowboats along the river.... take your choice
Dukejr01: Corren dismounts. "They are on the opposite shore, on the edge of the Palood. Fred looks injured"
Missiledine: "You best take some bandages and such then."
Dukejr01: Corren picks a stable looking Rowboat. he puts his gear in it and Asks someone to look after
Dukejr01: his horse.
Dukejr01: "I have bandages. thanks."
Missiledine: ok
Dukejr01: Corren pushes off, takes up the oars and hauls downstream.
Missiledine: you get settled and shove off, its a few miles down the river
Missiledine: to where you found them
Dukejr01: Corren is pulling hard. he is a strong fit boy.
Dukejr01: Corren looks around as he gets close. he looks for Rolb.
Missiledine: it will take you about a half hour to get back...
Missiledine: When you get there you see Dawn and Rolb on their respective sides of the river, watching you
Missiledine: approach
Dukejr01: Corren rows over to Dawn's side.
Missiledine: You row over to Dawn's side and run the boat aground
Docportal has left the room.
Y3KGRL has entered the room.
Missiledine: Fred is clearly unconscious, his leg is bloody and mangled looking
Dukejr01: Corren steps out of the Rowboat and pulls it up. making sure its set.
Dawn12: "can you help him"
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Dawn and takes off his cloak, wrapping it around her. then he takes up is
Docportal has entered the room.
Dukejr01: first aid kit and sees to Fred.
Missiledine: <Hi Y3KGRL!>
Dukejr01: "What happened? ARe you wounded?"
Dawn12: "he can hear you"
Docportal: <Lets see I was fishing but got a big trutle in stead.>
Dawn12: "he is unconscious"
Dawn12: "me im fine"
Dukejr01: "Yes. you can tell me about it on the way back. Here, you look hungry." Corren gives her some food
Dukejr01: and his skin of beer.
Dawn12: "i eat it fast"
Dukejr01: Corren checks Fred's bandage. adds to it if needed.
Missiledine: They seem adequate for the moment
Dukejr01: Okay. what is the best way of getting Fred in the boat? can we take both atthe same time?
Missiledine: Yes, the two of you lift him up together, keeping the leg up
Missiledine: The boat is large enough for all three of you
Dukejr01: Okay. "Hold his leg still. lets get him in the boat."
Dawn12: "ok"
Dukejr01: Corren picks Fred up carefully. letting Dawn steady the leg.
Missiledine: Its a bit of an effort, but at last you manage, though you need to tighten the bandages when your
Missiledine: done
Dukejr01: Do so
Dukejr01: Then Corren helps dawn into the boat.
Dawn12: i get in
Dukejr01: Corren polices the camp. irradicating its presence.
Missiledine: When everything is ready, you gather what few belongings Dawn recovered and push off
Dukejr01: Then corren carefully gets in and shoves off
Dukejr01: On the way back corren stops by the prow of our boat. he checks it.
Missiledine: the trip across is uneventful (unlike your last boat ride Dawn!) and soon Rolb is helping to pull you
Dukejr01: <nevermind>
Missiledine: in.
Missiledine: You will pass right by it,
Y3KGRL has left the room.
Missiledine: Hard to tell if there is any damage
Dukejr01: Corren helps Dawn off before Rolb and he carry Fred off.
Y3KGRL has entered the room.
Missiledine: It doesn't move if you give it a shove
Dukejr01: Put Fred down comfortably.
Dukejr01: Corren is going to trail two ropes over to the boat. he wants to find places to tie them off so
Missiledine: "Well," Rolb asks "What happened?"
Dukejr01: the horses can pull it out of the mud
Missiledine: ok, Rolb will keep the other end for you... The water is damned cold and the only tie point you can
Missiledine: find is the prow
Missiledine: <Unless you want to go swimming?>
Dukejr01: we will try this first. THEN Corren will swim
Missiledine: <lol>
Dukejr01: Corren says "One rope is tied. Give it a try."
Missiledine: <Hi Rachel!>
Dukejr01: <who is racheal?>
Missiledine: <Y3KGRL>
Docportal: <Y3kgrl>
Dukejr01: <oh. hi!?
Missiledine: Rolb attaches the rope to one of the saddles, then after some thought, reties it to the pack harness
Missiledine: on the spare horse.. He leads the horse off and starts it pulling
Dukejr01: Corren carefully watches the boat.
Missiledine: After a bit, the boat shifts only a small amount, Rolb yells "Tie the other!"
Dukejr01: Is there a place to do so now?
Missiledine: He attaches the second rope to one of the other horses
Missiledine: You can tie them both at the prow, its the only visible spot
Dukejr01: do so
Missiledine: This time the boat begins to move, though it does so very slowly...
Dukejr01: "Its coming!"
Missiledine: The horses are clearly working hard to make it move at all
Missiledine: The prow slowly turns towards the far bank and begins sliding that way. After a few yards it
Dukejr01: hopefully it will pull out of the mud
Missiledine: vanishes under water, but the ropes are still taut
Missiledine: and the horses are still pulling hard
Dukejr01: Corren pulls his boat out of the way
Dukejr01: Corren scratches his head
Missiledine: several long minutes pass, then you can dimly make out the form of the boat beneath the surface, you
Dukejr01: Corren goes to shore, grounds and jumps out
Missiledine: are past the deep point and now you can see it being dragged across the bottom
Dukejr01: Is it full of mud or something?
Missiledine: It takes a long, long time to pull the boat far enough that its just breaking the surface... but at
Missiledine: last you get it into the shallows on your side
Dukejr01: Corren helps pull
Dukejr01: Corren strips his armour and clothes off. he wades in to take a look.
Missiledine: the hull is full of mud, as well as water
Dukejr01: Corren starts scooping out the mud. do we have a shovel?
Missiledine: nope
Dukejr01: corren uses a paddle from the other boat.
Dukejr01: he wants to get the majority of the mud out before try ing to refloat it.
Missiledine: Oar... Rolb says, "Use your helmet! It could use a cleaning!"
Dukejr01: "Toss it to me, and what do you mean by that?" Corren jibes.
Missiledine: "Let's get FRed to the village and come back with some tools. It ain't going anywhere."
Dukejr01: Corren shrugs. "Good point." he gets out of the water and drys off.
Dukejr01: "I will row the boat I borrowed back. Go ahead and get going." Corren says as he dons armour.
Dukejr01: Corren looks at his helmet suspiciously for dirt or rust.
Missiledine: Rolb nods and mounts up, "Dawn, do you want to ride, walk or float?"
Dawn12: "i think i will ride"
Missiledine: Rolb will hold the horse while you mount. "Had enough of boats eh?"
Dukejr01: "Meet you in Soche"
Dawn12: "wait what about the rope from the tulrtle"
Dukejr01: "What turtle?"
Missiledine: "Rope from what turtle?"
Dukejr01: Corren looks around at the river for a turtle.
Dawn12: "the one that got us it might still be here "
Dukejr01: Corren straightens up from where he was about to shove off. "PErhaps ye should explain a mite"
Dawn12: "Fred was fishing and he got a big tulrtle and it got fred"
Docportal: <tie the rope around a tree.
Dukejr01: "Fishing? with a rope?"
Dawn12: "and made the baot go down"
Dawn12: "yea with rope"
Docportal: <And graple>
Dukejr01: "What the he... Nevermind. Explain it to us later." Corren shakes his head as he shoves off for Soche
Dawn12: " ok"
Dukejr01: Corren pulls hard for Soche. eager to be away from a giant turtle.
Dukejr01: Also good excercise
Missiledine: Ok, you will all arrive in Soche more or less at the same time
Dukejr01: k
Dukejr01: Corren grounds the boat. looks at it for wear, and thanks the owner.
Dawn12: k
Missiledine: People will come out to help and will carry Fred into a cottage where the local healer will take a
Dukejr01: he walks, working out kinks as he does so.
Missiledine: look at him
Missiledine: the boat seems ok
Dawn12: i follow fred
Dukejr01: Corren goes to get a beer and some hot soup.
Missiledine: The healer, an older man with a rather pinched and worried look, opens the bandages and inspects
Dukejr01: He brings it over for Dawn. "Okay, what happened?"
Missiledine: the injury, he then prepares some concoctions to apply, as well as readying some clean bandages
Dawn12: "well fred was fishing and he got the big tulrtle and it dumped me out"
Dukejr01: Corren will help be extra hands if he orders so. This guy probably taught Corren first aid.
Missiledine: He doesn't need any help, though he is listening to the explanation
Dukejr01: "Okay. he was fishing with a rope, he was looking for a turtle?"
Dawn12: "i swam for shore and made it and fred still had the thing"
Dawn12: "no he was not looking for it"
Dukejr01: "okay. then what?"
Dawn12: "fred tied the rope to the boat and the tulrtle dumped him out and thay went under water"
Dawn12: "thay came back up and the tulrtle got freds leg"
Dawn12: "thay went back under water and i cast sleep spell and
Dukejr01: "Lucky to stil lhave it. Go on"
Y3KGRL has left the room.
Y3KGRL has entered the room.
Dawn12: few mins later thay came back up"
Dukejr01: "Your sleep spell worked?
Dawn12: "fred tryed casting water spell and trow the thing on shore
Dukejr01: Corren raises his eyebrows at that.
Dukejr01: "Did that work?"
Dawn12: "i saw gred face dwon and the tulrtle gone and i went to get fred"
Dawn12: "no it did not work"
Docportal: <yes and no, I throw the turtle out of the water and it fell right back in to the water>
Dukejr01: 'That was very brave of you. going into the water to get him like that."
Dukejr01: "Will he live?" Corren asks the healer
Dawn12: "well after that i made a fire and i stoped the bleeding on his leg "
Dawn12: "and then you came"
Dukejr01: Corren nods. "Lets get you to a warm bed. you look exhausted,"
Missiledine: "Yes, but it will be awhile before he is out of bed, and without a Priest he'll probably lose the leg
Dukejr01: "Thank you, we will take him to drunmore as soon as we can."
Dawn12: "ok"
Dukejr01: Corren takes Dawn over to his parents house and turns her over to his mom.
Dukejr01: Put her in front of a fire with some mulled wine or something.
Dawn12: "thank you"
Dukejr01: Corren talks to Rolb. "Fred will need a priest. Should we take him back to Drunmore?"
Missiledine: "As I recall there is a monastary in Lendale."
Dukejr01: Is :endale closer?
Dukejr01: Lendale
Missiledine: <six to one>
Missiledine: "Let's take some buckets and shevels and get the boat."
Dukejr01: "Okay"
Dukejr01: Corren borrows some tools fromt he folks.
Missiledine: The two of you collect the tools and ride back to the boat, its still there
Dukejr01: "Be back in a few hours, Father"
Missiledine: "Have fun!" He shakes his head and goes inside
Dukejr01: Corren strips off and goes in to muck it out.
Missiledine: <Brrrrrrrr!>
Dukejr01: <gee, thanks Dad!>
Missiledine: Rolb smokes a pipe and offers suggestions
Dukejr01: <thanks Rolb!>
Missiledine: <LOL>
Dukejr01: Corren mutters something about old guys.
Missiledine: Rolb chuckles something about "Young and dumb"
Dukejr01: that's the deal. Me dumb, him smart. its a partnership.
Missiledine: finally you have it floating again, though it has a couple sprung boards and will sink again if you
Missiledine: don't bail it out regularly
Dukejr01: okay. well, I guess Corren gets to row it back. HE dries off and puts his clothes back on'
Dukejr01: Corren will row it back.
Missiledine: ok, finally after an exhausting morning, you are back in Soche
Dukejr01: Corren arranges for the boat to be repaired.
Dukejr01: then lunch
Dawn12: I wake up
Dawn12: &It;cant sleep forever>
Dukejr01: Time for lunch anyway
Dukejr01: :-)
Y3KGRL has left the room.
Dukejr01: <whistles>
Missiledine: The carpenter will tell you that it will take two days to fix the boat
Missiledine: <sorry>
Dukejr01: okay. how much?
Missiledine: He'll do it for $20
Dukejr01: Corren bargains mostly for the practice
Dukejr01: <ends up being 21 bucks>
Dukejr01: Corren pays half in advance.
Missiledine: <Your gonna dicker with your friends and neighbor?>
Missiledine: <hang on a sec guys>
Dukejr01: <aren't we expected to? wazzupwidat? whatever okay. 20 bucks>
Dukejr01: <listening to Jethro Tull's Broadsword>
Dukejr01: <Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding... Bring me my cross of gold, as a Talisman>
Missiledine: <Sorry, back>
Dukejr01: <no worries.>
Missiledine: No, its okay, he'l knock it down to 15, but only because your local
Dukejr01: Corren chuckles and jsut pays it in advance.
Dukejr01: Corren thanks him and goes off to lunch.
Dukejr01: Okay. the plan is take Fred to the Lendale Monestary. When can we leave?
Missiledine: Fred: You come to in a cottage, with a strange man bending over you.
Missiledine: "Tomorrow," Rolb suggests
Docportal: "Hello who are you?"
Dukejr01: Corren shrugs. "Suits me. I like my mom's cooking."
Missiledine: Fred: Your leg hurts like hell and you feel very...strange
Missiledine: "Do you remember your name?"
Docportal: "I think my name is Fred."
Missiledine: "I am Kyle, a Healer in the village of Soche."
Missiledine: "Your friends brought you here after the attack."
Docportal: "Oh darn we are only half way there then."
Missiledine: Corren: The Healer sends word to your parents house that Fred is awake
Dukejr01: <you're halfway dead>
Dukejr01: "Best see him."
Dawn12: I go were fred is when i hear he is awake
Dukejr01: Corren goes to tell Dawn "Fred is awake"
Missiledine: Dawn: You heard the message as well
Dukejr01: Corren goes to see Fred.
Missiledine: everyone troops over to see Fred
Dawn12: &It;way ahead of you>
Docportal: "Corren, how are we doing?"
Missiledine: <lol>
Dukejr01: "You look like hell. Kyle says you're going to lose that leg unless we get you to a priest."
Dukejr01: "there is a monestary in Lendale, we will take you in the morning"
Docportal: "Well that not good. I need that lag. Did you all get the boat and the trutle that was tied to it?"
Dukejr01: "the boat needs repair. no sign of a turtle."
Missiledine: <The rope was broken>
Docportal: "Well problily best then. Good to hear the boat is ok."
Dukejr01: "Turtles are worthless anyway. What were you fishing for?"
Docportal: "Large fish."
Dukejr01: "Use a line and hook next time. most of your equipment is gone. hope we can get you on your feet soon
Dukejr01: "Kyle, do you want him to stay here tonight?"
Docportal: "Oh darn it there is the last of my armor." I check to see if my knife is on me.
Missiledine: "Yes, that would be best."
Missiledine: <yes, you have it>
Dukejr01: "Okay. we will pick him up in the morning to take to Lendale. What time would be convenient for you?"
Docportal: "Well I am going back to sleep."
Missiledine: Kyle shrugs, "I rise early"
Dawn12: "i want to go when you go"
Dukejr01: "See you in the morning."
Dukejr01: "Of course you are coming."
Docportal: Well a nice hot meal would be nice before I go to bed.
Dawn12: "just makeing sure"
Missiledine: Ok then.... Unless there is something else here... everyone will stay at Corren's home for the night
Dukejr01: "I understand. WE are not going to leave you here in a strange village."
Missiledine: The healer will feed you some soup
Docportal: <Good>
Dukejr01: Rolb can regale the parents about their adventures.
Docportal: <Chicken soup>
Dukejr01: <chicken soup cures all>
FinLongham: <lol>
Missiledine: The next morning Rolb will have a travois rigged behind the pack horse.where Kyle helps settle him
Missiledine: The boat isn't finished yet
Dukejr01: <Chicken...soup.... only chance... for survival. Must have.... chicken soup!>
Docportal: <lol>
Dawn12: &It;lol>
Dukejr01: <The Tick reference>
Missiledine: <So what did you think was in a potion of healing?>
Dukejr01: <chicken soup!>
Docportal: <yep>
Dukejr01: Wil riding double overload the horses?
Dawn12: &It;you could taste right>
Missiledine: Doc is in the travois, Dawn can ride the pack horse, Corren and Rolb are on their mounts...
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: you set off
Dawn12: k
Dukejr01: We are off.
Dukejr01: "I am really leaving this time! bye mom."
Missiledine: The road is good and you will reach Lendale before dark, there isn't much traffic this time of year
Missiledine: so the trip is uneventful
Missiledine: <Have fun storming the swamp!>
Dukejr01: WEll, Corren has been here before. does he know where the Monestary is?
Missiledine: yep
Dukejr01: <Think they'll make it?>
Missiledine: <It'll take a miracle!>
Dukejr01: We should probably head directly there.
Dukejr01: <we are too funny>
Docportal: <You two are loads of help BTW>
FinLongham: <lol>
Missiledine: The main gates are still open and the Sacarium Guards on duty stop you only long enough to see the
Dawn12: &It;lol>
Missiledine: injured man, then wave you through to the courtyard
Dukejr01: Corren dismounts, do they want his weapons?
Missiledine: <Yeah, GM humor will absolutely slay you!>
Missiledine: not in the courtyard
Docportal: <I have live this long>
Docportal: <Man I most be good then>
Dukejr01: <the GM is always funny. "hahahaha! that was a good one, sir!">
Missiledine: <Only if you go into the Sanctuary>
Dukejr01: k
Missiledine: A monk comes up, "What is the problem?"
Docportal: "I play with a big turtle and lost"
Dawn12: "bad"
Dukejr01: Corren shakes his head ruefully.
Missiledine: He bends over you, "Hmmm, yes you did, didn't you!"
Missiledine: "well, let us see what we can do for you... You are of the Faith?"
Dawn12: &It;brb>
Dukejr01: <say YES>
Docportal: Yes
Docportal: "Yes"
Missiledine: Other monks approach and they carry Fred away
Missiledine: "This will take some time, if you come back tomorrow." The monk says to you
Dukejr01: Corren looks around.
Dukejr01: "Aye, Thank ye."
Dukejr01: Corren mounts up.
Missiledine: Rolb, who doesn't belong here, is already outside in the street
Dukejr01: he nods amiably at the Guard when he passes
Missiledine: <GM will assume that Dawn goes too>
Missiledine: They wave you through with a "Good night"
Docportal: <of coruse>
Dukejr01: "Would be nice to have a few of thoe fellows along." Corren nods toward the Sacarum Guard when he
Dukejr01: joins Rolb.
Missiledine: There are several good inns in Lendale, Rolb is headed for one now
Dukejr01: Good.
Missiledine: "Aye, but those Mitra swords always want summat afterwards."
Dukejr01: Corren nods, "All I want is an enemy dead."
Missiledine: Rolb takes you to an inn called "The Blue Boar" and leaves the horses with the stable boy before
Missiledine: going inside. He takes out his purse and slaps it against his hand, "All but flat." He grumbles
Dukejr01: "I have some still." Corren buys dinner for the three of us.
Dukejr01: Corren takes it easy on the beer tho.
Missiledine: You can get rooms here, there are vacancies
Dukejr01: k. sounds good.
Missiledine: You get your affairs settled and are able to relax a bit
Dukejr01: Corren tries to get a table that views all exits and with his back to something.
Dukejr01: he also admires the scenery.
Missiledine: lol
Missiledine: Ok, Fred: You are taken into a comfortable room where you are put on a bed. Two monks and a Priest
Missiledine: come in to see you
Docportal: k
Docportal: "Oh my lag it hurts badly"
Missiledine: They inspect your wound, the Priest asks again how you got it, as he examines it
Docportal: "I was fishing on the way down to<blank>. I was hoping for a big fish or two."
Docportal: <Forgot where we were going>
Dukejr01: <Lendale>
Docportal: "I ended up with a big turtle. I would say a 20ft'er."
Missiledine: "Hmmm, your leg is very badly injured, broken in several places, nearly severerd. It will require a
Missiledine: Restoration
Docportal: "How long will it take?"
Missiledine: "Regular Restoration will take a month to heal."
Missiledine: "Instant is, well instant. But it is more expensive."
Missiledine: <They don't do this for free you know.>
Docportal: "I am not sure I can wait that long. How much for the instant? and the regular?
Dukejr01: <whatcha got to trade, your firstborn?>
Docportal: <Unless I am told other. I have nothing but my knife.>
Missiledine: "Restoration, for one such as yourself, will cost 30 farthings ($150) The Instanst will be
Missiledine: 100 farthings ($500)
Docportal: "Is there something around here I can do that will make money fast? Say 100 farthings."
Dawn12: &It;im back>
Missiledine: "Hmm, you are offering a Service in exchange?"
Dukejr01: <rehi>
Missiledine: <Hi>
Docportal: <hi>
Docportal: "Yes. That is the best I can offer. I lost every thing with the boat went down"
Missiledine: "What can you offer the Church?"
Missiledine: "What can you do?"
Docportal: <I am Looking>
Docportal: "My normal job is lap dog for the courts. I also get infomation."
Docportal: "I also can get information"^
Missiledine: "Hmm, so you are a clerk?"
Docportal: "Yes, I am a clerk. I am also a mage"
Missiledine: "Ah, a mage? Are you strong in your faith?"
Docportal: "I guess you could say that. I am a earth,fire,water mage."
Missiledine: "But do you believe in Mitra! Are you a True Believer?"
Docportal: "Yes I am a True believer in Mitra."
Missiledine: "Ah! Excellant! Would you be willing to undertake a task that may involve some risk?"
Missiledine: "For the benefit of your Church."
Docportal: "If it benefits the Church then yes."
Missiledine: "Very well, then if you will voluntarily accept an Obligation, I will heal you fully."
Docportal: "I will accept it willing."
Missiledine: He takes your Oath of Service, then prepares to heal you
Missiledine: The preperations take a few minutes, then he has you lay back and relax. You hear him begin a long
Missiledine: prayer and the monks join in at several points. He lays his hands on your leg and almost instantly it
Missiledine: feels better, the pain eases, then is gone completely
Missiledine: He steps back, says a short prayer of thanks, then looks at you
Docportal: I reach down and feel the lag.
Missiledine: "The Church will summon you when it is time to fulfill your Oath. Until then you are free to do as
Dukejr01: <"leg">
Missiledine: you will. The Leg is healed, but it is best if you rest here tonight."
Missiledine: The wounds are competely gone, the bones are set and knitted... only the torn cloth and bloodstains
Docportal: "Then I may leave in the morning or do I need stay here?"
Missiledine: show that it ever happened
Missiledine: "You may leave in the morning, but when your Church calls, where ever you are and what ever you
Missiledine: are doing, you must come. Is that clear?"
Docportal: "Yes, I understand."
Dukejr01: <priests are cool>
Missiledine: "Then rest comfortably, may Mitra be with you. Good night." He leaves
Dukejr01: <and dangerous>
Missiledine: The monks will bring you some food, then leave you alone
Docportal: May Mitra be with you
Missiledine: you spend the night eating and resting
Missiledine: However.... Something still doesn't feel right to you
Docportal: <Here it comes>
Missiledine: You still don't feel like your old self, but the problem isn't physical
Missiledine: You realise that your innate powers are weak, as though you have lost some of your magery
Missiledine: You know that you can still cast spells, you can feel that
Missiledine: But you also know that its not as effective as you were
Missiledine: You can't be certain if this is temporary or permenant, only time will tell
Docportal: How bad am I off right now?
Missiledine: <You have lost two levels of Magery>
Docportal: <That not good. I have add it to my sheet and made my spells drop down also>
Dukejr01: <ouch>
Dawn12: &It;no kidding>
Missiledine: <Your spell skills will drop two>
FinLongham: <yeah>
Dukejr01: <good charactor motive: Regain lost magery>
Docportal: <I have a skill of 13 now. Made the change>
Docportal: <Yap>
Dukejr01: <catastrophes hurt>
Docportal: <Ok that will be the next quest>
Missiledine: Come morning.... Corren, Dawn, you go looking for Fred?
Dukejr01: Yes. in the morning Corren walks over to see how Fred is doing.
Dawn12: me also
Missiledine: He is up and walking around when you find him
Docportal: "Hi Corren, and dawn. I am ready to go when you are."
Dukejr01: Corren raises and eyebrow. "Good. Lets be off,"
Docportal: "Ok we be off then"
Dawn12: "ok"
Dukejr01: Corren goes back to the Blue Boar.
Dukejr01: "Looks like Fred is okay, Rolb."
Dawn12: i start to humm
Missiledine: "Good ta hear."
Dukejr01: Corren gets his stuff.
Missiledine: <Fin, you there?>
FinLongham: I am a here
Missiledine: <Did you see my notes on the other IM screen?>
Missiledine: <Never mind>
Dukejr01: "The boat will take two days to repair. Should be ready when we return."
Dukejr01: "Shall we put the horses up here or in Soche?"
Missiledine: The three of you are standing in the common room of the Blue Boar discussing this, when the
Missiledine: front door opens and in comes an elf. Elves are rather rare in Velitrium, so tho you have all heard
Missiledine: of them, you have never actually seen one before
FinLongham: I walk up to the beer and get me a beer.
FinLongham: Then I look around the room.
Missiledine: <It is early morning, you might want breakfast>
FinLongham: <Oh my mistack>
Missiledine: The place is pretty empty, the only people of note are four humans, three men and a woman, talking
Missiledine: together and looking at you
FinLongham: I go over and say a friendly hi to the group standing the room.
FinLongham: <in the room>
Dawn12: "hi"
Missiledine: Rolb mutters something under his breath as the elf approaches
Dukejr01: Corren nods. "Good morning"
Missiledine: but none of you can make it out
FinLongham: "Hello, My name is long fellow."
Docportal: "Hello Long fellow"
Missiledine: "Hmmm." The oldest human murmers
Dawn12: "im dawn"
FinLongham: "Good morning to you miss Dawn."
Dukejr01: "Corren" Corren looks him up and down.
Missiledine: <Describe yourself Fin>
Dukejr01: Is he tall?
FinLongham: <I am tall vut shinny.
Missiledine: <Tall for an elf perhaps, only average by human standards>
FinLongham: Where leather armor. Dark blue hire and blue eyes?>
Missiledine: The oldest male says, "Rolb" by way of introduction
Dukejr01: Weapons?
FinLongham: <No carrying one right now>
Dukejr01: "How does the day find you, elf?"
FinLongham: "Very good. I think Would you all like to have breakfast on me?"
Docportal: "I would love to have breakfast with you. I have heard that all elfs are mages."
Dawn12: I would also"
Dukejr01: Corren shrugs. "I have no objection"
Missiledine: "Harrumph... Aye."
FinLongham: "Yes. all elfs have magic tho I did not train in that area. I am a Merc looking for a quest to join."
Missiledine: you all sit down and the server will come and take your orders
Docportal: "Oh that is to bad to hear that you are not a true mage." I give a look to Corren and Rolb.
Dukejr01: Corren orders tea and a pastry
FinLongham: "Well maybe I will learn to be a mage some day. For right now you all order what you want."
Missiledine: <Crumpet?>
Dukejr01: Corren raises an eyebrow. "A quest? Do you have something in mind?"
Dukejr01: <crumpets. bleah. apple turnover>
Dawn12: &It;apple turnover and tea>
FinLongham: "Well any thing would be good. Tho I have heard of a Sharkey somebody"
Dukejr01: "What leads ytou to believe that we would lead you to a quest?"
Docportal: Something light. Crumpets and tea works.
Dukejr01: Corren raises an eyebrow. "Sharkey? what do you know of him?"
FinLongham: "Not much just romors. Big reward out for him tho."
Dawn12: i start to humm
Dukejr01: "I see. and why shoudl we trust you?"
Dukejr01: "Is that what you are after, money?"
FinLongham: I look at corren. Then say"I don't know why you would not truth me."
FinLongham: "No money is the last thing on my mind right now."
Missiledine: Rolb stirs a bit, "Ya dunno ken why we wouldn't trust ye? Why should we? Ye come in here a talkin of
Missiledine: Sharkey, what if ye are one of his lads?"
FinLongham: "Well if I was would I be in here.?"
Missiledine: From his brouge you judge Rolb to be from the north, the Fromtier
Dukejr01: "I am Katalla, I fight for pay, its a motivation with which I am familiar."
Missiledine: "Sure, and why not?"
Docportal: "I don't know of any Long Fellow in Sharkey gang."
Dukejr01: Corren jsut looks at him.
Missiledine: "Even brigands come inta town now and again. What else are they gonna do with all the brass they
Missiledine: steal."
Missiledine: "Are ye sure that is this elf's name?"
FinLongham: "Why would I lie. Tho I do see your point here."
Missiledine: "Tis seems a bit odd to me, here we be out lookin fer this Sharkey, a worried that word has spread
Missiledine: down the river, and this stranger comes up to us a talkin about the very man we seek."
Missiledine: "ah canna say fer sure if he is what he says he is or not, it just seems... odd."
Docportal: "Well I am not sure but I would take him at his word. I try to Detect Lies from Long
Missiledine: you don't believe that he is lying
FinLongham: Well if you don't need a merc that has a boat and a wagon. Then
FinLongham: I will be on my way. Maybe Find thi Sharkey person myself."
Missiledine: Rolb looks at Corren and Dawn, "Yer call."
Dukejr01: "He can take point." Corren grins.
Docportal: I think we might need him and I do think he is telling the truth.
Missiledine: Rolb looks at Dawn, "And ye, lass?"
Dawn12: "it fine with me"
Missiledine: "All right then, come along."
FinLongham: "Well then Let me pay for breafest."
Missiledine: "Ye have a boat?"
Dukejr01: Corren bothers to down his tea and takes the turnover with him. munching as he goes
FinLongham: "Ay, I have a boat."
Missiledine: "Hmmm"
FinLongham: I walk out to my wagon leaded and the group to my boat.
Docportal: "Well this wagon will be handy."
Dukejr01: Corren finds this ironic.
Dukejr01: rowboat?
FinLongham: Yes. it be a rowboat.
Dukejr01: "Second boat will be handy."
Docportal: <Yep ironic>
Dukejr01: "Should we split up? a couple go get the other boat and return here? or launch from upriver?"
FinLongham: Well can trave two ways here.
FinLongham: We can split up or I can carry the boat and some of the poeple back to were evrey
Docportal: "Lets not take the boat back. Lets let him carry it back."
Dukejr01: "North it is then."
Dukejr01: Corren mounts up."
Dawn12: "sounds good"
Docportal: "I have had enoght of the water for a little bit."
Missiledine: <west it is>
Dukejr01: west. pardon me
Missiledine: <lol>
Dukejr01: I keep thining the river is north/south.
FinLongham: Ok I get my boat loaded on to my wagon.
Missiledine: <Not this one>
Missiledine: It takes some effort to get the boat into the wagon, but at last your on the way
FinLongham: Ok can I take any more members of the group?
Dukejr01: Corren rides a little ahead
Dukejr01: We should advise Long of the treasure split.
Missiledine: Fred and Dawn have no horses, tho Dawn can ride Rolb's spare if she likes
FinLongham: "Then I will take Fred. on the wagon."
Dawn12: "she rides on the hores
Docportal: I get on board.
Docportal: The wagon.
Missiledine: off you go
FinLongham: ok
Missiledine: Ok, The wagon is a bit slower then horseback, though it is faster then the Travois coming in, so
Missiledine: you get to Soche with daylight to spare
Missiledine: When you come into the village the carpenter tells you that the boat is ready. The old Healer comes
Missiledine: out and looks at Fred, "How do you feel now?"
Docportal: "I feel great now. Thanks"
Missiledine: "Good." He goes back inside
Dukejr01: "Thanks, <insert name here>"
Missiledine: <lol ok>
FinLongham: "Do we want to drop the boat here and use the boats the rest of way?"
Dukejr01: ol Kyle is rather taciturn, isn't he?
Missiledine: since you have to cross the river and enter the Palood, yes
Missiledine: rather
Dukejr01: "We will launch from here. I think. We will need extra food and suplies for what Dawn and Fred lost."
Docportal: <Yes>
Missiledine: there are no roads in the Palood and very little solid ground
Dukejr01: Outfit both boats. split the food. we will need to buy new oars.
FinLongham: "I will replace gear lost. You all can pay me later."
Dukejr01: "You can leave the wagon here. no one will bother it. I will have a word with some folkd."
Dukejr01: Corren nods. "Keep track of expenses, they will be reimbursed when we make some money."
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb "If" and grins
Docportal: I look the elf over. "That is kind of you."
Dawn12: "yes thats thank you"
Dukejr01: I suggest two weeks of food. and don;t for get some blankets and such
Dukejr01: Corren starts loading his boat with his gear.
Dukejr01: maybe we shoudl start off in the morning.
Dukejr01: in that case Corren is going to make a bunch of sharp stakes and buys a hammock.
FinLongham: "Let me have a list of things needed"
Missiledine: <Remember, its winter>
Missiledine: <warm clothes and food are #1 and #2
