Completed Play-by-Post: In Search of the Sorcerer

[Helly]

"Wolf-men? As in men wearing wolves pelts? Or do you mean litterally big wolvea walking on two legs? This does not bode well anyway, so let's leave with the first sun light."

 

[Grimgravy]

"Big wolves walking on two legs. Like Uvan's reflection in the mirror."

 

[nikolokolus]

Brule's face is a mask of rage. He reflexively gips the haft of the Dub Sleagh, "I'll wager that cur Rashid is one of them and went back to the village to warn Talorc or he rejoined his master Uvan." He spits, "I swear on the spear of Ulfheonar, I will kill Talorc before the sun sets; Clan Elders be damned if they get in my way. Rhenmyr, you say you can hold up a mirror and reveal false images? Well maybe we can use that to our advantage and force Talorc to account for himself. Dawn will break in a matter of hours and it will take us at least a half-day of walking to get to the village. I advise you make your preparations soon if you wish to follow me friends, I leave at the predawn."

 

[Helly]

"Of course we shall come. I'm already fully woken anyway."

Spoiler

Did ker sleep enough to reset his spells?

 

[Siveon]

"There's no doubt, Brule. We've to see this through to the end."

Spoiler

How much, if any, did Marcán heal?

 

[nikolokolus]

Borric stretches in the crotch of the tree and drops down to the ground and yawns looking much refreshed. Gods only know how he was able to get comfortable enough to sleep.

Healing

Anyone who passed their saving throw during the night regains 1 hp (plus Con bonus if positive) and is able to pray for and memorize spells. If you failed you're too tired to meditate/memorize and you don't heal properly. By my reckoning here is who passed and failed (let me know if missed you)

Passed: Borric - regained 2 HPs
Failed: Mab, Ker, Márcan, Cormac, Urash & Brule - No healing, no chance to regain spells until you get 6 hours of good rest (Rhenmyr slept in the cave and is not well rested)

Current condition (lightly wounded >75% HP, moderately wounded >50% HP, badly wounded >25% HP, near death <25% HP)
Borric=unwounded
Marcán=near death
Ker=lightly wounded
Rhenmyr=moderately wounded
Cormac=lightly wounded
Urash=moderately wounded
Mab=lightly wounded
Brule=lightly wounded

People that play a spell-caster, if you could please tell me what spells you have left I'd appreciate it.

Spoiler

I used fairie fire and detect magic, I still have warp wood (which may be very useful against any archer/spear user we may encounter)

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

Still have fairie fire.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Gods only know how he was able to get comfortable enough to sleep.

For a man that has chased prey for days on the back of a lizard, falling asleep is as easy as closing one's eyes. Borric looks around, and tenses as he senses something wrong.

Spoiler

Had no idea if I was awake for the above bits, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[nikolokolus]

Updated healing in the above post. Check it to see everyone's current condition. If you aren't sure of your character's exact wounds send me a PM and I'll give them to you.

EDIT: Whoops. I forgot healing is 1HP/level+Con bonus (Borric is unwounded as a result).

Spoiler

Cormac has no spells left.

 

[Grimgravy]

"I'll be ready. The mirror will show the humans and the pretenders. Hopefully that will be enough. If not, perhaps we lock them in the great hall and burn it to the ground."

 

[L'ennui]

Spoiler

No spells left for Urash.

 

[Wayward Son]

"Let's do this! I'm in."

Spoiler

No spells left

 

[nikolokolus]

"I'll be ready. The mirror will show the humans and the pretenders. Hopefully that will be enough. If not, perhaps we lock them in the great hall and burn it to the ground."

Spoiler

I just want to say one thing for the record. God bless old-school D&D.

 

[nikolokolus]

The groups sits around the hummock of dry land that served as camp for the night and thankfully the heavy mist has not returned. Visibility is at least a half-mile all around you. The sky is progressively lightening to a shade of deep purple and the path that lead you in from the west can now be clearly seen winding its way around the base of the hill of the cave, to the east (toward the village and Lake Oerní)

 

[Grimgravy]

"Lets forget trying to track Rashid. It would be too easy throw us off simply by wading through the muck. A simple trail is too likely a trap."

Spoiler

Talorc just rubs me the wrong way. I've had the un rangerly urge to burn him alive with Atalantian fire for too long.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

"I would not be opposed to burning Talorc." Cormac says as he is flipping his new dagger over in his hands.

 

[L'ennui]

Urash groggily rubs his eyes and eats some dried meat from one of his rations.

"Burned, stabbed, crushed or hanged, the mad dog's got to be put down. We might as well get going soon... wish I'd had more sleep, though."

FYI. Lawful alignment doesn't always equate to "peaceful" or "law-abiding" in this world, it frequently means "just."

 

[Helly]

"I also am all for the great return to nature fire brings." says Ker while stroking his mistletoe twig

 

[Wayward Son]

"Fire cleanses to make way for the natural world. If he dies in said fire, it only removes a waste of nature's bounty."

 

[Helly]

"A man to my liking! By Cernunnos, I wish I could offer a toast, but all I have is this filthy arcane water."

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Spoiler

Damn, it's like everyone wants a piece of Talorc.

 

[L'ennui]

Spoiler

Down with Talorc! No occult transaction without representation!
