Jerry tries to locate the invisible Merrick.

Post by **TristenC** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:26 am

Elsa hugs the bard back, I don't think anyone should be alone in this strange land.

Jerry tries to find the invisible Merrick, who apparently notices her search. An invisible hand takes hers softly. I'm here. he reassures her.

Pyros and Aranis move out to check the barn. The wide doors are unlocked. Inside they find a modest horse-cart and four stalls but no horses. There is a tack-shed here as wells, with tools and equipment for farming, hitching horses up and plowing; but most of them show some signs of neglect. There are no horses. There is also a cord or two of firewood lining one side of the barn to the south. There is no loft area.

If Pyros sees a hammer and some nails he will snag those... you never know.

"Well nice cart... too bad no horses."

Jerry smiles a happy smile, "I'm glad!" and squeezes his hand gently while carefully edging a little closer.

Artanis continues to poke around in the barn, carefully examining the cart and the tools. He says to Pyros: "Everything seems too perfect and well placed. Since I was recovering and tending to the pups, did you to a thorough search of the house? Check the bed, pull back the covers, even flip the mattress, look under the bed? Empty any dresser drawers? Check any shelves or nightstands? Empty the closet and search the clothes for any papers or coins? I just can't shake the feeling of how everything is in such good order and condition." He will move things around and search thoroughly.

"I did not, but Mira went upstairs after me. She might have. I got dressed up in the big cloths too fast..."

"Mira, your call whether you want Merrick and me to stay and help search or to go back to Ontash's," Jerry offers. "Presumably you intend for Merrick to go to Ontash's anyway and to stay there overnight to memorize Knock. Have I got that right?"

Pyros finds a tack hammer and some shoe-ing nails. Artanis muses over the odd dichotomy of orderliness and neglect. Almost as if the owner had simply become lazy or disinterested in keeping the farm up.

Inside, the invisible Merrick stands close to Jerry. Well, i have my spellbook, so i could memorize it anywhere. However, I think we should be careful deciding the party's division. We have Cal and Adran with Ontash and family, but we need to send word... I wonder if that road leading West meets the main road to Skald... he muses. We could be at the farm in half the time or less if it does...

[The party took an hour or so for breakfast and study; and the walk through the woods took 3 hours. It is a little after noon, so they woke around 8:30 am.
[Time is 12:30 PM]

"Ok, we could all find somewhere to sleep here.. What if someone went back to Ontash in the Morning. Rather than risk the journey in the dark?" She suggests realising that no one appeared to want to make that journey now. "Like Elsa said we can make some beds and the like, I bet if we suggested to Artanis he could rest in the Barn he'd jump at it." A small pang appears in her mind, Yasir would have loved that.. she could just.. no.. No. Focus.

"I'm not in charge here, it has to be something we all decide. Lets wait on Artanis and Pyros and decide." Trying not to pay attention to the Young Wolves, she could just hear the stories the kids would say if she arrived in Town with a bunch of Wolves.

While they wait, Jerry continues checking out the walls and floor clockwise just in case there's anything hidden waiting to be found.

"I wonder what the others ade up to."

Satisfied that there is no more to see or find here in the barn, Artanis makes his way back to the house proper. Hopefully with the puppies (which includes Pyros) following him.

Post by **TristenC** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 5:19 am

The wolf pups continue to follow the ranger and Kender back. One seems to be following Pyros much more closely, but the others keep somewhete near the pair.

[after all, pyros is the one that fed them

]

Inside, Jerry continues her circuit but doesn't discover any new hidden areas. The pair return from the barn, wolf-pups in-tow...

Pyros will burst through the door!

"WHATHAVEYOUALLFOUND?!?"

"Nothing," answers Jerry. "You?"
