"Storm on the Road to Kelindor" | Kashi, Jade, Nascha, Squire, Sarafina
After the company of heroes finishes restocking their supplies thanks to the recently freed slaves, they embark on their quest for Kelindor. They begin to cut back through Middlemarch and then follow a river through the north of Baleror and towards the mountains.
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Jade is walking. Glances up at the sky.
little song08/10/2019 Thunder overhead. S tying the supplies to the saddle. K already on the horse. Sukoshi’s started to wear a samurai ponytail to help distinguish them.
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Walks over to them. “We should get moving before this storm starts.”
little song08/10/2019 S: “We’re getting wet either way.” K: “Should we wait until it blows over?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 “Rain shouldn't hurt us as long as the supplies stay dry.”
little song08/10/2019 S: “It’s just annoying.” Get’s on the horse. “We taking point?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Nod. “If you'd like.”
little song08/10/2019 “Alright.” Heads to the front. Watching out.
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Makes sure everyone else is ready to head out before following S and K.
little song08/10/2019 Rain starts falling.. K sighs and slumps.
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Gets a cloak and tosses it up to K with a small smile.
little song08/10/2019 K: “Thanks.” S: “The armor is going to get heavy when wet. Keep that in mind and don’t push too hard if we run into anything.” K: “I will.”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Squints up at the sky again as it darkens and a flash of lightning arcs across the clouds.
little song08/10/2019 To behind. S keeps to the path and away from the trees.
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Nods and puts her hood up as it thunders again and the rain gets harder.
little song08/10/2019 K: “Have you dealt with rain a lot Jade?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 “Not this much...”
little song08/10/2019 K: “Doesn’t rain much where you’re from?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 “Not...really, no. The drops are much bigger, but spaced apart more.”
little song08/10/2019 S: “Is it like... here, but everything is bigger?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 “Ah, yes and no? The trees for sure are bigger there but the culture and people are completely different.”
little song08/10/2019 S: “Hmm...” K: “You said that you weren’t supposed to leave right?”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Shrugs. “Yeah. I mean, I didn't come intentionally. I got lost and ended up here...”
little song08/10/2019 K: “Oh... okay.”
Dark Matter08/10/2019 Sidesteps as S and K's horse gets frightened from another boom of thunder. The rain starts pouring and Jade ducks her head.
little song08/10/2019 K wraps cloak around her tighter. S seems unaffected.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha is keeping to the side of the party watching the woods for danger. Pauses and crouches down near the edge of the woods under a tree and appears to pick up something.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire, by orders from Guiscard, trails at the back of the group to cover the rear. The pace is slow as the group trudges through mud and the heavy rain. Thunder booms again overhead. Squire kicks at some puddles, absent mindedly.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha stares down at what is in her hands, water dripping off her face.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 The puddle goes everywhere in an appealing way.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Says something in her native tongue.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire’s eyes lighten a little, and she splashes another puddle. Steps from puddle to puddle until she catches a glance from Guiscard from the front of the group. She pauses and quits hoping Guiscard didn't notice
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha, brings out a knife, which has a blueish hue... much like Maire Gliasian glass.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire’s eyes widen as she catches eye of it. Tries to ignore it at first, keeping her place at the back of the group.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Raises the knife near whatever object she holds. “Hold still, my brother. This won't last long.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Steps to her side and signs: “Why have you stopped? The group is still moving.”
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha glances up and realizes it's the silent one. “I have to attend to something. They can move forward. I'll catch up.” Goes back to working her knife into what is in her hands. Says something under her breath in her native tongue as what is in her hand moves. Suddenly a small head pokes up and the wide alert eyes of an Owl stare back at Squire.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire: O_O Leans over and stares at it.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Glances up, her dark eyes wary.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire’s purple eyes doesn't notice Nascha and continues to adore the owl. But feels it would be impolite to ask to hold it.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Frowns in confusion for a moment. Considers Squire then goes back to her work. Carefully holding the owl so it can't escape. She plunges the knife into the owl’s right wing.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire: O_O Frowns at Nascha, looking a little angry for cutting the owl. Squire thinks: Maybe she’s just after food. Squire still feels upset though.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Makes a distinct cut as the owl tries to flutter its good wing, but her grip is firm and it can't escape.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 There is a crack and the right wing hangs more awkwardly than before.
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire signs, her eyes looking really annoyed: If your going to eat it, just kill it. Don't make it suffer.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Ignores Squire. To the Owl: “Shhhh...” Gently rubs its head. Speaks in her native tongue to the owl. To Squire: “I won't kill it.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire cocks her head and looks curiously, her annoyance disappearing.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha to the Owl, Owl flutters. “Hold still, brother, this won't last long.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire pauses for a moment, looking from the group going further away and to the owl who she wants to help.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Takes her knife and quickly but with precision slices open the right wing, where it was hanging awkwardly from the start, to the bone. “Hmmm.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Hands go into her bag and she pulls out a bandage and rips it. Tears a little bandage just the right size for the owl and offers it to Nascha.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: “Glances up at Squire and the bandage. Considers her moment then nods in thanks. We will need a straight stick to brace the wing.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Squire leaps to look in the forest, but pauses seeing the tall overbearing trees. Shuffles nervously for a moment and then steps in the woods cautiously.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Uses the knife to put the fractured bones back into place, allowing water to drip onto the blade. Nascha: Glances up and watches Squire for a moment then says, “You can find some in the road as well.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Spots a good stick, grabs it and runs out of the forest. Gives it to Nascha and kneels down, glancing warely at the forest, but turns her attention to the owl.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Nascha: Observes the stick and nods her approval. “Good. Thank you.”
Squirewalker08/11/2019 Nods a “You’re welcome.” Looks back at the group and fidgets uncomfortably.
VioletofSherwood08/11/2019 Starts setting the bone with the makeshift splint. Then allows her blade to be wet again as she sticks the knife back into where she dislocated the Owl's wing. Nascha: “Sometimes we need pain to heal.”
[Meanwhile]
little song08/12/2019 Still raining overhead. Has been for several hours..
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Will this rain ever quit?”
little song08/12/2019 Kashi looks back and smiles weakly, her hair clinging to the sides of her face and bangs dripping in her eyes. “Eventually.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Where are we even going?”
little song08/12/2019 K: “Kelindor.” S: “May I ask you something, half elf?” K: “Her name is Sarafina.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Yeah, but the name is Sarafina.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Sarafina.” K: Chuckles. S: “Indeed, I’m Sukoshi.” S: “May I ask you a question then, miss Sarafina?”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Sure go for it.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Why are you fighting in this? Wouldn’t a lady be more happy somewhere safe?”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Well not this particular lady. See I’ve been trained by the royal guard.” “I’m fighting in this because I believe Pale needs to be stopped.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Where are you from, if I may ask that?”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “I’m from Glandoria, where are you from?”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Kokka... there, women are not made to fight ever. It’s the men’s job to defend and kill.” K: “Ni-san.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Oh I see. In Glandoria it doesn’t matter who fights.”
little song08/12/2019 S: Nods. K: “Are you okay?” S: “Fine.” K: “So... um...”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Why, what’s wrong?”
little song08/12/2019 K: “Nothing. Just something we talked about before.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “I’m at a loss here. I don’t know what you mean.”
little song08/12/2019 K: “It’s a family thing.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Oh. Gotcha. “Whatever happened to that other half elf that appeared out of nowhere?”
little song08/12/2019 K: “She was a bard, not a fighter. She moved on to continue with the music I’d imagine.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Didn’t know she was a bard. Just as long as we don’t run into a nasty blue cloak.”
little song08/12/2019 S: Looks back. “What do you know about them?”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Not much other than they want to kill me for some reason.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Half elf. That’s why.” haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “You know about them?”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Very much so. I don’t think they’ll attack this group though. As long as we keep together.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “I’m not so sure about that.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Well, I’ll help you fight them if they come.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Thanks.” “What about you? Why are you fighting in this?”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Because my sister is.” K: “Is that the only reason.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “So is that another family thing?”
little song08/12/2019 S: “Probably not, but it was the first reason.” K: “Kinda.” S: “I just have to keep her safe.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Understand that.”
little song08/12/2019 S: “But even if she wasn’t here. I feel the cause is a good one. I would help regardless.” K: “I’m glad.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 Three bandits came out from behind the trees grabbing at the travelers. They try to take their things forcibly from them.
little song08/12/2019 Squire draws sword and Nascha calls for help, slashing at them with her knife.
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 Sarafina draws out her sword and combat knife and starts fighting the bandits.
little song08/12/2019 Sir Guiscard would join the fight.
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 Some of the bandits run off after Sarafina slashes some of them in the side with her sword.
little song08/12/2019 And Acid sugar shoots another. K: Wants to join, but Sukoshi keeps them at the front, watching ahead.
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 Sarafina, “I think the last of them are retreating!” More of the bandits leave when they see the leaders of them run off. Sarafina, “What was that all about?”
little song08/12/2019 Guiscard would say something about ruffians who just want money.
little song08/12/2019 S: “Well, they didn’t flank.” Relaxes. He’s still alert though. K: “Did we lose anything?”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “They would’ve been arrested for that in Glandoria. I think I have all my stuff. How about you all?”
little song08/12/2019 Nascha checks and says that, "Yes, she’s good." And Squire nods.
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “Did anyone get injured?” “I’m fine.”
little song08/12/2019 K: “Doesn’t look like it.” S: “That was actually rather stupid of them to attack us.”
haleybrookesart08/12/2019 “One time bandits attacked me and Nichole when she was alive. We were both lost in the woods and away from the camp that day.” “Who knows why bandits attack and still instead of working?”
little song08/12/2019 “Well.... I guess so...”
