CH. 12: Wyvern's Island

[BishGada]

"Go ahead, lets move already from the trolls cave." Baeros says.
After they move far enough Baeros asks, "So, what device brought you here? And what happened to it? And don't think that if we speak it means we trust you. This device thing sounds like a fiction. Unless it was a boat! It is more likely someone exiled you here. Are you a murderer? Or maybe you were the only decent guy in a group of crazy people so they didn't like you and left you here to die? Don't go too fast! Some of us are injured. Show some consideration."

Drav looks at Baeros, "I never expected you to just give me your trust, I felt like you would make me earn it. I might as well answer some questions then."

Looking at everyone, "I was brought here with my master through some sort of ancient teleporter, he made it back through and promised to return. That was a long time ago, and I'm still here." Drav looks back at Baeros, "I am not exiled or a murderer, I am just a smith's apprentice who got stuck on an island."

Drav slows down a bit to give more consideration to the wounded. "I'm sorry for that, I'm just fast moving because of the amount of times I have had to evade trolls over the years."

"Well" Galath remarks dryly "They might avoid us seeing how we killed two of them"

[chese780]

"You may have a point there, but," Drav looks over his shoulder at the wounded, "They may also see this as a great time to strike, while we are moving with the injured."

(OOC: So, how does this go (posts), just one after another in no specific order, or is there a set layout)

Ouragana had been a bit distracted, she was doing her best to keep drawing her map. She had thought going East might be an easier way to avoid the highest part of the mountain, but since Drav actually knows the place, she accepts that he leads the way without a word.

"Drav, you certainly know how many trolls have been living here, don't you?" she says at last.

(OOC: No, there is no specific order. It would be impractical since people live in different time zones and have different occupations and free time. Only when there is combat, Jaded waits a certain time for everyone to say what they'll do that round.)

[chese780]

(OOC: Don't know how long we have been walking, but it only took me like 4 posts to get to this spot, we must be close at this point.)

"Well, during my time here, I've had to deal with them on multiple occasions. I don't know exactly how many, but there seem to be a lot."

[JadedDM]

"An ancient teleporter?" Thaddeus repeats. "Fascinating! I've heard of such devices from the Eonian age. It was the preferred way to travel among the different islands, especially the flying ones. Perhaps that is how the Wyvern traveled here in the first place, at such a remote location."

It didn't take that long for Drav to travel to his cave to where he met the party, but the large group moved much slower than him, so the return trip was considerably longer. By the time they arrive, it's a couple of hours past noon. Ouragana updates her map accordingly.

The cave Drav spoke of is a tiny entrance in the base of a mountain. Granite could walk in or out easily enough, but anyone else will have to get on their hands and knees to get inside. A very tall creature, like a troll, would have no chance of getting inside at all.

[chese780]

(OOC: Granite?)

Drav looks at the whole party, "Well, here we are. I expect that you just plan to rest and immediately go to the mansion, so I will get ready as well."

*Drop off my short sword in the cave for now*

(OOC: If anyone hasn't noticed, I put all item actions inside *'s)

[HorizonsDream]

"Well, I suppose that is a good way to protect yourself from trolls," Jocelyn says as she looks over the cave entrance.

[chese780]

(OOC): (*Time passes?*)

Looking at the people around the cave (or inside if they are), "I bet you all want to reach the mansion as soon as possible, so when everyone is ready, just say so."

*Grab the PP and the dagger in the cave*

Looking at Gallath, "This may help you a bit more than it would for me." Drav holds out the sahuagin dagger.

(OOC: I bet it is his choice to accept, am I right?)

[spyguy1503]

"Is that a sahuagin dagger?" Gallath asks, accepting it. "I've seen one of these long ago"

(OOC: How much damage does it do?)

[JadedDM]

Drav unbuckles his short sword from his belt and crawls into the cave. A few moments later he crawls back out to offer the dagger to Gallath.

"Looks a tad cramped," Thaddeus notes. "This is where you've lived for three decades?"

=============

(OOC: I bet it is his choice to accept, am I right?)

(OOC: Correct. Players can only control the actions of their own characters, nobody else's.)

(OOC: How much damage does it do?)

(OOC: It's just a normal dagger; it deals the same damage as any other dagger, which is 1d4/1d3.)

(OOC: If the party wants to stay here, they can. The cave isn't big enough for all of them, though; at least half of the group would have to camp outside. It's about 2 PM on the first day, so it's up to you all if you want to stop and rest this early or just head to the mansion.)

[Breila]

"We should tra and look for a place for the night where Val and Brock safe from the trolls. I know it's not sure we can find one, but this is definitely too small for them" Ouragana says after seeing Drav crawling in and out of the cave.

[HorizonsDream]

"I would suggest that Val and Brock stay in the cave. It kind of looks like two other people can stay in here," Jocelyn says. "The rest can just camp out here."

[BishGada]

"Drav have seen the mansion, is there a place on the way we can camp in and guard it well?" Baeros turns to Drav. He then looks at Val and Brock trying to figure if they got exhausted by the walk here. Were that the case they will have no option but to stay here until morning. "Maybe Drav, Granite and me can scout a little the road to the mansion while you others rest. After we eat something of course." He pulls out some dried meat from his pack and throw it to Takit and Hopper.
