[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6041826, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]KOTS Part 4a: Aftermath.[/SIZE][/CENTER] “What will you do?” Jimmy asks staring over the fire at Gokan. The half-orc shrugs and goes back to poking the embers. “I mean, we've got Douvern back...” Jimmy tails off as he notices Sigur's stare. Jimmy follows the dwarf's gaze, in the back of the cave Hedda's body lies, wrapped in blankets; the minotaur priestesses’ horns protruding slightly from the make-shift burial shroud. Hal, breaks his reverie, the metal man's eyes light up, slowly- flickering slightly. “We should return to Douvern, tomorrow. He will know what to do. We should take the priestesses’ body home... Wherever that is.” The metal man falls silent, then turns and goes back to reconnecting the various strange metallic ropes and cables which twist and snake within his exposed upper arm- now reconnected to his body. Sigur nods. Jimmy shrugs. Then nods. Time passes oh so slowly, just the sound of the fire and the plashing susurrus of the waterfall, every now and then a toenail of the moon shines and shows through the blue-silver curtain of water. “What about this stuff?” Jimmy grabs out a clutch of crudely written notes- found earlier in the search of the lair, along with a chest containing more gold than any of the assembled adventurers has ever seen. “Who's behind this- don't you want to know?” Jimmy continues to wave the papers, anger in his voice, the halfling's eyes blazing. Gokan and Hal stop to stare at Jimmy. Sigur awkwardly gets to his feet, gingerly- clearly in a great deal of pain, the dwarf circles the fire and his friends till he stands next to the halfling. The dwarf kneels gritting his teeth in pain, then sits. “What are we going to do?” Jimmy asks again, his anger directed at Sigur. The dwarf says nothing just levers one of his massive arms around the halfling's shoulders and leaves it there. Jimmy sobs for a good while longer. Every now and then each of the adventurers takes a moment, when they think their friends are not looking, to stare again at the broken Hedda. Then, beset by nightmares, in terrible pain, hungry and desperately sad, they eventually sleep.
