Staunton Bluffs Episode I: To the Borderstone
Tavian bows deeply to the beautiful young woman.
"I think it best that we get moving. I don't think we want to find out what creatures call this place home at night," he says, peering around wearily, " I doubt your friend will be walking without help."
If it's getting dark, Tavian will pull out a torch and light it.
Either way, he starts walking in a direction away from the mists, unless someone else takes the initiative.

As Tavian begins to walk away: "A word of warning, friend. The creatures who have done this to our guide are still out there. Be wary."
He then walks over to where Lodissio is laying down. "We HAVE to act. I think Tavian wishes to start walking and I think we might want to . Any direction at this point is better than standing still."
I wait for a few others to respond, but if they give their assent, I start walking as well. I volunteer to help Lodissio if need be.

After a moment's hesitation, Nicolas strides purposefully after the short young man (?).
"Do not be too hasty to set off alone," he says laughingly to Tavian. "You might need someone our enemies can see to defend us!"

Since Lodissio wakened the group at dawn, and you crossed the endless mist vale, assume it's about 9 or 10 AM.Tavian wrote:OOC: What time of day is it?
Does the group want to move on or to stay and wait for the cleric to recover his magic?CapN wrote:If you can wait eight hours, I can change my selection of spells and take some healing.

About Lodissio's estate, again:
He is unconscious and feverish. So, him walking is nearly out of question. If you want to move on, you'll have to carry him someway. (-1 temporal constitution drain for every hour for those who bear his weight.)

Tavian lets out an audible sigh. He stops and moves back to where Lodissio is laying.
"Ok, perhaps it is best we rest," the short man says, "I am rested so I can keep watch."
(Does this spot look defendable? Are there alot of trees or rocks or hills or caves, etc? Is the ground soft or hard? Is there snow? Autumn leaves? If there are trees, are the branches reachable?)

You're standing in a clearing just before the entrance to a lower terrain (the vale you all are just supposed to cross. In front of you, you see a cold, late-autumn highland field, rocky slopes now and then, and single trees in the waste. Besides that, nothing really. No signs of life, just a dead, almost tundra-like landscape. If you camp, you'll most likely have to do it on the open field.Tavian wrote: (Does this spot look defendable?

As the group stops, Jarryd moves to check the bandage that he wrapped around Lodissio's body, that is now soaked in blood.
"He's bleeding heavily and it' won't stop, the cut is too deep...I wonder if he will survive this wound..."
Producing another clean cloth, from his backpack, he starts removing the old bandagge. Opening a small ivory bottle he pours some strange but transparent liquid on Lodissio's wound. The satyr only groans as it touches the wound. The liquid seems to stop the bleeding for a while, enough to clean it.
"Let's find a spot where we can hide him, in case we are attacked again...at least they won't find him if we do so.." he suggests to the group.
He moves on to find a suitable spot for Lodissio.
OCC: Jarryd would like to analyze the terrain and the surroundings. Maybe even some ranger skills shall be needed.

Looking around the bleak landscape, Nicolas turns to his new-found companions.
"Perhaps," he begins, "two or three of us should go ahead a short distance, if only to ascertain that no immediate dangers exist. If we can find help for that creature," he points to Lodissio, "it might be even better. I will gladly go. Would another accompany me? It seems a waste to bed down when the day is not even half through!"

"Though I am tired, I am unable to sleep. i will go with you." Avra readies his shield and scimitar and goes with him.
