OOC:-Bah, I'll have none of this "reading" thing you're all so keen about.

Benn can see that Cirdan is quite smashed up and dirty, with some nasty cuts and bruises. None of the injuries are life-threatening, but a full recovery will certainly take days without magical healing.

Bennedict recites an intonation of healing, focusing the magic into the knight's battered form.

the cabin-

Cirdan thanks Benn for the healing, then says-

''The boar we downed is enormous. I think that Wat intends to bring it back whole. It may take all of us working together to bring it back. ''

Benn shakes his head in disbelief. "No time for that now," he says, "We need to find the others. Van Deicks' body is missing from the cellar. I fear some mischief is afoot."

''Missing?''

"The body is gone, not there, kaput. I didn't see any sign of entry or exit, though I will admit my skills in tracking or identifying footprints are not to the level of Wat or some of the others."

''Well...let us go get Wat. He's with the boar. I....''

Cirdan turns his head towards the door.

''Someone is coming.''

He slides his sword from his back [he'd been carrying it over his shoulder while hunting, so it didn't trip him or whack against bushes and trees].

''Front of the cabin...''

The knight steps towards the doorway...

Norzak is concerned about the missing body of VD but nothing he says will change anything. HE does go on alert when something is heard. He slips into the shadows on the other side of the door where Cirdan is, short sword in his hand.

Norzak spots the source of the noise out front: Jon and Dorgio have just now returned.

Norzak bursts out of the house, anxious to see if they had luck, see if Jon is okay and of course, to brag about their kill! He looks at Jon like a Father would, seeing if he is injured and whatnot. "Ay, so did ye kill anythin? We did! We gutted us a boar, a big mother of a beast! On anuther note, it looks like Van Dieks getted away, tha varmint. Shoulda chopped is ead off when we gotted us that chance. So yeah we should go get Wats an try ta git some food back. I dun like Van Dieks bein free an Wats bein alone. We should be hurryin I thinks."

Dorgio cracks a grin upon hearing of Norzak's hunt, but it quickly disappears when he hears about Van Diecks.

"Yes, let us be going."

after the party leaves the cabin

The trek through the woods isn't a long one, and you all come upon Wat near a stream. The woodsman stands near the body of the biggest pig any of you have vever seen: it's as big as a riding horse! Blood, torn vegetation, and scattered stones and dirt litter the immediate area- signs of the combat that felled the mighty boar.

Wat is putting the finshinng touches on a big travois of vines, peeled bark, and treelimbs.

''Help me roll the boar onto this, friends. We shall drag it back and butcher it. Oh, there is so much meat, we will have to eat till our bellies are round as tree-boles, then eat some more! My dogs will be fat as spiders! The rest can make good bacon. ''

Bennedict's jaw drops open in shock. "Mein Gott! Look at the size of that thing!"

OOC: See, I knew I'd get to say it at some point.

"Hay I done telled ye it was a big one!" Norzak exclaims after Benn speaks. "I dun think there's any problem with the lad fer eatin. E kin eat fer three people, I dunno how 'e does it, really. Hey that was a real nice fun huntin, Wats. Sorry I misunderstood ye, but hey iss a dead now an ripe fer cookin."
