"Gah!" Tavian exclaims, "My torch is too wet to light. Does anyone have something to dry this off?"
He looks back to his party members expectantly.

"This place is strange" Jarryd says as he gets up on his feet and moves towards the entrance of the house. He remains outside nervously staring at the corpses.
"What in the name of the gods, killed these creatures..and why are they cats.. and men at the same time??" Jarryd recalls the tales of animal men, somewhere beyond the misty border, brought back by the other caravans brave enough to travel through the mists. Wolves and rats and other animals walking like men, they said. Maybe these things are also like those. The tales must be true..
"Well, my friend, I guess is better if we enter the house, at least is dry inside...I have never seen so much water pouring from the sky...then again where I come from, these occurences are quite rare..." Jarryd talks to Lodissio, not expecting any answer. With that he grabs Lodissio's body and carries it inside the stone house.

Alain hears Shana's concern and sings a short tune to confirm her statement.
Let me see what makes the strange
Much more real and can change
the course of storms the tides of the sea
make unreal real and let me see
He casts detect magic
With that done Alain looks about in complete awe to the amount of magic he see's radiate around him...and the girl.
He then approaches the young girl and kneels down as so he can look into her face.
"Hello Petite."He says to the girl
"My Name is Alain Guishard. I am a performer. Tell me...Do yo like music?"He asks her in a calm voice.
He tries as best he can to make her more at ease and comfortable given the current situation. If she is still cold he will offer her his own cloak.
If she gets more comfortable he will begin "Interviewing" her by asking her simple questions. ie:
"What is your name?"
"Where are you from?"
"How did you come to be by yourself?"
Etc.

So, Jarryd and Alain enter with the others.
The little girl, appearing totally exhausted, seems too tired to answer to anyone or to perform any more action. Breathing heavily, she sinks into Nicholas arms, her eyes closed and her body nerveless, as if sleeping.
Does the group want to explore the ruins any further or do you want to rest here?

If he wants, I cast a light spell at some stone.
I'd rather rest, but if they want to continue I won't object.Desdichado wrote:Does the group want to explore the ruins any further or do you want to rest here?
Nicolas catches the little girl, gently trying to keep her from touching the cold floor. He removes his own cloak and wraps it around her.
"The gods have a strange sense of humor," he mumurs to himself, "it seems I am to continue my penance for a former life.
Out loud, he says to those around him, "This child needs rest. Perhaps we should find a safe room in here, where we can make a fire to keep warm until dawn?"

"Listen to them, children of the night! What music they make."

The current situation makes Jarryd unconfortable and feel vulnerable. this house or whatever it is seems to radiate some kind of bad "vibrations". Still he sees that his companions are very tired and pushing forward inside the complex will be a futile effort.
"Rest my friends, I guess we cannot go any further today...We shall mount guard, while we rest. I can do the first shift..."
With that, Jarryd leaves his backpack by Lodissio, and walks towards the door. The fact that outside is pouring and inside is dry makes him feel a bit confortable. His body starts cooling down and his muscles start aching again. His wet clothes feel heavy underneath his chain mail armor.
This place gives me bad feelings, I hope we made the right decision...

Avra, silent now for quite some time, offers to do the second shift. "How's Lodissio?" he asks, to no one in particulat and goes to check on him himself... "I wonder now, oddly, where Path could have gone to, and how... and WHY I am thinking about that now..."

So, totally exhausted and battered, you decide to rest in the entry room of the ruined manor house.
Although you have proposed to set up some guards or maybe trap the doors so noone can overwhelm you while you're asleep, most of you just fall into cold, but finally, dry room and doze and nod off where they stand or lie...
As you drift into the slumber you desired for so long, you can see mist anf fog flooding and pouring into the room, encroaching your bodies...
Welcoming you...
Congratulations! Your characters have gathered so much experience that it can be justified to raise them to level 2.
The game will remain closed until Thursday, to give you the time to do the leveling work - please, send your updated character sheets at my email-adress Rafael.Ganryu@web.de!
Beware to be punctual this time, for those who don't send the sheets in until next SUNDAY will be punished in-game.
Think of Path and his trousers!
Sadly, since some have remained silent for a long time, those characters whose players don't post or give any notice within the next FOURTEEN DAYS will be treated as NPCs from then on...
Your benevolent tyrant,
Rafael
