CH. 9: Road to Tu'Valie

[HorizonsDream]

"We need to get out of this area and find a place to rest," Jocelyn says. "Andar can't travel like this and there is nothing more I can do for him until morning. We also need to get all of our stuff from Thunder." She shifts Andar a bit as she continues to try and hold him up.

[Nuke]

Val moves to the horse and kneels down by the head, reaching for a potion at her side. She lifts the mouth vertical and pours the contents down it's throat.

[Breila]

Ouragana nods at Jocelyn's words. "We do indeed, but where else can we go than down the path?"
She walks over to Thunder to see what she might be able to take (it won't be much unless they all get slowed down). When she sees Val giving Thunder the potion, she asks in surpeise: "What is that you're giving him?"

[BishGada]

Baeros is in fury, his eyes are bloodshot red, "No!! Jocelyn, can't you help him? I will burn these stupid creatures!!!", He then lit up a torch at tries to burn the web together with the creatures in it.

=========================
(OOC: Imagine my surprise when I looked at characters stats thread and saw Thunder is dead. Half of the damage to the party we caused ourselves.)

[JadedDM]

Val pours a potion (I assume it's a Healing Potion?) down Thunder's throat and waits, but nothing happens. The horse is already dead.

In his grief, Baeros searches Thunder's packs and pulls out a torch with the intention of burning the remaining bugs. However, he has nothing to light the torch with--he needs flint and steel or a tinderbox or something like that first.

===========

Val uses a Potion of Healing on Thunder. It has no effect.

(OOC: You can see everything Thunder is carrying in the second post of the Character Stats thread, for those of you who want to divvy up what he was carrying.)

[HorizonsDream]

"I'm sorry, Baeros, but I can't bring him back from the dead," Jocelyn says as she has Andar lean up against a nearby tree so she can grab her stuff.

[Breila]

Ouragana sets down her backpack and digs out flint and steel, then hands it to Bearos. "Here, use this to light your torch." When he takes it, she puts a hand on the man's shoulder and softly says "I'm sorry for your loss." Returning to her backpack, she finds her potion of healing and gives it to Jocelyn. "Here, take this, I think it's most importan now that we don#t lose our healer."

"We must adjust our pace to what Andar can do, right?" she asks around. "So we can carry some more things. I could take a waterskin, the pot and some money."

[JadedDM]

Jocelyn takes her bedroll and waterskin off Thunder and places them in her own pack. This weighs her down a bit again.

"That's okay, Ouragana, I can get the pot," Areilon volunteers. She places it in her own pack.

==========

Jocelyn is now in light encumbrance. Her movement rate is now 8.

[Nuke]

Val likewise re-shoulders her gear. "Let's get moving"

[HorizonsDream]

Jocelyn walks back over to Andar, wraps his arm around her shoulder, and starts helping him down the road. "We aren't going to be able to get very far at this pace, but everyone keep your eyes open for a good place to rest," she says to the others.

[Breila]

(OOC: Did Jocelyn take/drink the healing potion Ouragana offered to her?)

[JadedDM]

Val picks up all of her gear from Thunder and places it back in her own pack.

==========

Val is now moderately encumbered. Her movement rate drops to 6 and she suffers a -1 to hit.

[HorizonsDream]

(Yes, she would have took it. Sorry.)

[Breila]

Ouragana takes a waterskin and ties it to her backpack. "I could take most of the coins, too, and still be as fast as Jocelyn and Andar, but not a second waterskin" she informs the others.

(OOC: I can't find the info how much coins weigh, with the healing potion gone, she can carry 7 pounds of coins while still at MV 8 ).

[JadedDM]

Jocelyn accepts the potion and Ouragana picks up another waterskin from Thunder.

"I can help carry a little more, too," Areilon volunteers.

===========

Ouragana gives Jocelyn a Potion of Healing. Ouragana adds one of Baeros' waterskins to her inventory. Ouragana is now in light encumbrance; her movement drops to 8.

(OOC: Coins of any kind weigh 50 to a pound. Although I'm not sure how Baeros will feel about letting someone else carry his money for him.

Speaking of which, BishGada is scheduled to return from his vacation today, right?)
