Arokyn the story thread

[Uriel]

Torn between his duty as a Druid (letting nature run it's course) and his Humanity, cloaked though it is in a bestial nature, Vorgune looks to see if the bodies look to be people .
They could be Scouts of the tribe.
If so, he will vote to see if they can be freed.
Pointing out the butte, the Druid will keep an eye out for movement under the sand, watching for some Giant Trapdoor Spider isn't exactly what he wants to do right now, but better prepared than not...

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Owenston moves forward, intending to start freeing the bodies, and checking to see how many can be saved <<Heal Skill>>

 

[Argent Silvermage]

From the state of the woman you remove from the webbing she must have been there a few weeks. she is just holding on to life by the thinest of threads and the stab wound from Anathos did not help. She is parched and not really concious.

As you examine her further you notice small bumps crawling under her skin.

 

[Thels]

No shade here. Need to travel to get to shade. Group will travel when things here are done. Things are done faster if Krit Ka helps.

Krit Ka starts helping the others taking down the cocoons and unwrapping them.

 

[Uriel]

small bumps under her skin...
Vorgune knows the woman is doomed, as whatever laid eggs in her has seen that it's brood was well fed.

 

[MavrickWeirdo]

Owenston says, "I can try to heal her, but it would not remove the paracites, only prolong her suffering.

If we cannot save her, then we should end her missery and burn her body to cleanse the taint."

 

[Uriel]

Vorgune climbs off of Yrgo, walking over to the cocooned woman.
One of the basic Rules comes to mind:Thin the Herd .
When sick or diseased beings are left to suffer, it is wrong.
Without a thought, yet showing compassion in the quickness of his action, the Druid brings his club down onto where the woman's head is, ending her pained life.
Then, without a second thought, he says 'We need get to shelter, bluff over there...' Pointing towards the butte, Vorgune remouts Yrgo and moves off to the place.

 

[Thels]

Krit Ka follows Vorgune to see if there's shade or shelter around the butte.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

As the group starts moving to the butte the ground starts to rumble. from the center of the webbed area a 10' long spider leg shoots out of the ground, just missing Yrgo. You all are able to get clear of the area and the leg shoots back under the sands.

The walk to the bluff is uneventful and in about an 1/2 hour the group is resting in the shade

 

[Uriel]

Ignoring Yrgo's protests of discomfort, Vorgune whispers soothingly into the Camel's ear, tellin hi what a valiant Companion he is, and that Spider wouldn't have stood a chance against mighty Yrgo and Vorgune, friends forever.

Vorgune takes what shade he can, doling out some grain and water to his Camel.
