[Adventure] Artemis' Pact

[JoeNotCharles]

After being tossed by the current and battered by underwater rocks, Karma pulls himself up on the bank and collapses, trembling. After a few moments he is startled to hear Shale's voice in his mind.

"I'm all right!" he thinks to himself, hoping that Shale can "hear" it. "I've washed up in another tunnel. It's going away from you, though. I don't think I'll be able to get back. I'm going to go on and try to find my own way to the surface."

 

[Someone]

"I'm all right! I've washed up in another tunnel. It's going away from you, though. I don't think I'll be able to get back. I'm..."

"I should have warned him about the word limit"

"In any case it sounds like he's safe, though unreachable for now"

 

[FourMonos]

"Thank goodness. Once again, Shale, you have proven yourself to be an amazing person."

He looks down the river.

"We should push forward and confront the demon before we try to find Karma."

 

[Neil1889]

"Thank the Stars he's alive and may Vena hide him from harm. As for ourselves, I think we should push on, now that the ritual is over."

"Lovely ritual that, Shale. A pleasure to see it cast with such aplomb."

Gil holds the wound on his arm, applying pressure over the deepest dart wounds. I'm hurt pretty bad by... whatever was in those darts, still burns. The faster we get out of here, the better. the color still hasn't returned to Gil's face even after his passing the worst moments of the poison.

OOC: Have we searched the creatures for clues or shinies?

"We should push forward and confront the demon before we try to find Karma."

			Let's move then. I still can see only one way to continue, not counting the underground river.

Nobody's posted anything about that.

Almost as if he could read Shale's mind... or maybe the thought was planted there... he suggests that the group look for clues around the cave, either on the bodies of the fey creatures or in the cavern itself.

While looking, he tries to be cheerful and encouraging to everyone as well... despite the fact one of their members just got sucked down the river.

[sblock=healing] Artemis will also use Inspiring Word on himself (again), giving him a healing surge plus 1d6: 1d6 → [5] = (5) Roll Lookup . That should bring him to full HP and 2 surges remaining. I can volunteer one surge for Gil's restorative elixir unless someone else wants to.

"I'm a bit wary of those cloudspores; wouldn't want to breathe them in."
