CH 5: Que-Kiri and the Plains

[JadedDM]

Raven-eye nods to his sister. "I am unhurt," he says. "But...the old man was killed," he adds, pointing to the fallen corpse. "Another death. We did not even learn his name to write it in the book of the ancestors."

[Breila]

Goldmoon tells everybody with acid burns: "Let's find clean water, there must be a water source here in the village, a river would be best, but a well will do. Wash the burns with as much water as possible. I will give you herbs that will help your skin to heal."

To Tanis and Sturm, she says "I would not mind killing them. I don't know what we could learn from them. Do they know a language we know as well? But use ranged weapons. Stone them if there's nothing else. We have enough acid burns already."

[JadedDM]

There are no rivers or lakes nearby, at least not within ten miles. But, there is a well in the village. Fortunately, it was not destroyed, although some of the stonework has melted a bit. Flint helps in retrieving water for Goldmoon's patients.

"The draconians spoke to us, or rather about us, in the Common tongue," Raistlin points out. Thus, they could be interrogated."

"Right," Tanis agrees. "But then again, unless we have a way to bind them, that might be too risky. We should at least relieve them of their weaponry, although I imagine they would be just as dangerous with their teeth and claws. What do the rest of you think?" he asks.

========

Goldmoon can have up to six patients. Those patients will regain HP slightly faster than normal while the party is traveling. Breila will need to choose who her six patients are, though. She can rotate the patients each day, if she wants, but she can never treat more than six maximum each day on her own. So which six will she choose for today?

[Breila]

For today, Goldmoon will take care of Laurana, Tasselhoff, Tanis, Caramon, Sturm and Flint.

[Jenara]

"They spoke to me, they told of what they would do.." Laurana shudders. "I would kill them, but they may know of the Attacks, the threats on my people."

She takes the water willingly, washing her feet and splashing her face.

Magpie looks at the water with skepticism, "Me drink?" She asks licking her lips.

"No, we wash your feet, to remove the Acid, or it will burn." Laurana says with a smile.

[Jerrard]

Sturm takes the blades from the sleeping creatures, removing anything that might be a weapon.
(what are they carrying?) Taking a scabbard he sheaves one blade and throws it at Raven-eye. "Can you use a blade? It is not ideal, but it is a start." He also collects any daggers he finds.

[JadedDM]

Sturm finds on the two sleeping kapaks: a pair of short swords (the poison seems to have evaporated from them), four daggers, 16 silver pieces, 8 platinum pieces, 16 steel pieces, four cooked and salted rabbit haunches, two waterskins (both filled with ale), a pair of red six-sided dice and a set of lockpicks.

Raven-eye accepts the short sword. "I have never used one like this before, but it's better than nothing. My thanks."

=======

Goldmoon's Prayer spell ends.

[Breila]

Goldmoon sits beside the paralyzed Riverwind, holding his hand, waiting for the group to decide what to do next.

[Nuke]

still stoned....

[Kafen]

Tas paces back and forth while they secure the dragon men. He is pondering the losses of the day from all appearances. Though, he secures a dozen stones for his hoopak as well.

[Jerrard]

Taking the equipment from the creatures Sturm passes Raven-eye a few daggers, "Perhaps these will help also?" He picks up the dice and the lockpicks with a curious expression. "I wonder what they had these for?"

"I suggest we check some of the houses, although destroyed, something might be usable." He looks to the rest of the group.

[Jenara]

Still bootless Laurana almost jumps up, and offers to go and search, yet the last time she did, well every time she did, something happens.

"I will take a look, but I want someone to come with me, I only seem to get into trouble on my own." She looks at Tanis, "I want to help, we need to tie them up."

"Magpie come too? I find things." The Gully dwarf pipes up, jumping to her feet, "Magpie good at finding things."

[JadedDM]

"All right," Tanis says. "But you have ten minutes. If you can't secure some rope or something to tie them up with, I'm going to put an arrow in them both before they wake up."

========

Tas collects 12 stones.
Raven-eye receives two daggers.
Sturm collects a short sword, two daggers, 16 silver pieces, 8 platinum pieces, 16 steel pieces, four cooked and salted rabbit haunches, two waterskins (both filled with ale), a pair of red six-sided dice and a set of lockpicks. Sturm is now in light encumbrance.

[Jerrard]

"Do you want these?" Sturm asks Sunstar, offering her the remaining blades, she had discussed getting a sword on the road, so it made sense in a way.

"Tas." The Knight passes the dice and lockpicks in the Kenders direction. "These might be of use."

Turning back to Tanis he nods in agreement, "I will accompany her, perhaps we can find something."

[Jenara]

"Very well, perhaps I can stay out of trouble this time." Pulling on her boots Laurana winches in pain before scouting the area.

(Are there any buildings that look mostly intact, or something that might be a shop of some kind?)
