Brokehill Quest: Chapter 2

After about twenty minutes, Arthos reappears back at the Inn with Ug. The group is once again happily unitied.

You travel south for the rest of the day. Often times, out of the corner of your eye, you see a fleeting shape or, at the edge of your hearing, strange sounds creep in. As the sky darkens, thoughts begin to turn towards what to do for the night....

Looks like we'll need to camp soon or else risk losing the light to find an appropriate spot that is defendable. I'm thinking we should have a two person guard set up to watch out for anything unexpected. I'm thinking one warrior type and one non-warrior at a minimum. Also, Ug are we able to set up any of the protective circles that are known? I'm unsure of the materials required for some of the newer ones.

small fires along the perimeter of the camp might not be a bad idea either to gives us an extended viewing distance. Might also not be a bad idea to put a metal shield (or at least a small mound of dirt), if we have a few spares, between us and those fires to only damper the vision of those approaching and not ourselves. Plus the shields will reflect the light more.

Good Idea Ka. I will donate my shield to your plan and start making the ring of small fires.

*Arthos collect some wood and places piles of it a lose circle around the group. He cast a spell on each pile to lite it on fire. After that is done he goes out into the woods and sets some traps up. A couple snare traps for food, and a couple traps that will create nosie if some trips it. The traps will be palced around the encampment so if something approachs they will get snared or make some noise.*

*Sethreal walks to one of the fires and sits down facing outside the circle.*

*Midnight speaks up from somewhere in the middle of the encampment. She has a few flowers in her hair that she picked along the way*

Take first watch, I will, if volunteers are needed.

*starts looking around for an easy to climb tree*

Perhaps two groups of two remaining on guard at opposite sides of the camp? Nights in the wilderness have always proved formidible.

well, I'm also thinking a small central fire so we aren't near the perimeter... Also we can use that one for cooking and heat.

If someone would like to make up a watch list, it would be useful. This way we know who to wake up after each group is done watching.

*Without turning Seth says.*

"I will stay up, anybody wanna join me."

*Returns to the group right before dark and appears very concerned. She heads to where Kels is and turns to the group.*

While I was scouting luvs I saw a few large shapes darting away from me as I approached the area to get a better look. I noticed it was getting dark so I thought I would turn back so that Kels and you all would not worry and I'm not silly enough to be caught alone at night by myself.

It was all rather uneventful until I got closer to where you luvs set up camp. There I saw a humanoid figure. Very pale and with long ears. It was dressed in a black cloak with a black head wrap and is leaning on a tree. It was watching Arthos and the others set up camp. It appeared luvs to sense me coming, so it turned and darted into a tree.

He appears to be similar to the people we ran into with Donovan, Sethreal on Friday evening. You remember them as well Corbyn. Anyway, we are going to need to be on our toes for they know how this place is laid out and what you all have been up to.

*Looks at Kels and anyone call tell Kidwynn is a bit tired from all the scouting.*

Looks like luv you and I either need a take a watch or stay up all night on guard duty.

*Looks at Lambic*

Luv did you bring any rum? If you did may I have a swig?

Midnight · Post by **Midnight** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 11:11 am

*finishes contemplating the trees and decides to stay on the ground*

*to Kidwynn*

Just returned, you have, so other volunteering, you'll know not of. For you to take responsibility for all, there is no need.

*smiles cheerfully*

Watchs in groups of four, we will take. Rest first, the scouts should, since all day they have been moving more.

Assist with first watch, I will.

*moves over to Sethreal and crouches down near him*

Sethreal · Post by **Sethreal** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 11:23 am

*After listening to Kidwynns descriptions Seth gets a worried frown an his face.*

"Listen, anyone that doesn't have a shield team up with someone that does and stay behind it. It is very difficult to fight theses things and they don't like to talk. We will be dealing with arrows in the most part if they do attack, and they are poison."

*Seth sits up some more and keeps his sheild in front of him and Midnight.*

Kidwynn · Post by **Kidwynn** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 11:27 am

*Kels moves himself and Kidwynn over to someone with a shield. He then further places himself in a further defensive position to where Kidwynn. People watching can notice he is attempting to talk her into getting some rest, but she is refusing due to the present dangerous situation. He has an arrow cocked and at the ready while keeping guard.*

*Arthos comes back after setting up the traps*

I suggest before we sleep we make sure we are prepared.

Let make sure we have no holes in our clothing, I know Ka can help repair the damage.
Ug, we would like to hear what you know about these woods. It might give use a better chace of defending ourselves.
Ka with your and Corybn's and Dallids help I can infuse evrybody with extra lifeforce which will prevent damage to oneself.
Ug and Ka, when you get achance can you shield us with your magics.
Ug & ka, if time permitts can I get you help on enchanting everyones weapons with magical engery.

*Once everything is done, Arthos says*
I will take last watch. If you need just shake me awake.
*Arthos drifts off to sleep.
