[Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

Zuri was about to start using her missile fire, but seeing the smaller unicorn bring colour back into Gray's cheeks, she took cover in the nearby bush and administered a potion of healing to him instead.

"Go get 'em champ. Its mostly been knockabout play so far, but you were well and truly hammered."

OOC: We all took a long rest in the Gnome Tree before heading out to see Robyn if I'm not mistaken. So that should mean that Gray was back up to 7/7 healing surges, right?

The nymph staggers back, her eyes wide in fear as the power of Joven knocks the sense from her. Hard on the heels of Wat's mighty attack follows Sabynha's threat to join the fight. Her words are hard and sharp as the finest blade, piercing the courage of the fey and killing it like a knife blade to the heart. Still reeling from Wat's thunder she does not stagger far, and she is too dazed to even offer a reply. Seeing their leader flee and his fellow pixie standing stone still and slack jawed, the third pixie backs away from Rain and turns tail and flees for its life.

Gray rises groggily from his feet as the unicorns thunder from the glade towards the line of trees that mark Ragnar's territory, where a ragged cheer rises up to greet their arrival. The mischief had turned into a near lethal misunderstanding and unwanted confrontation, but the day was won. Our heroes were left in peace to retreat to the place where Robin and the others awaited them with open arms.

Gray wakes and slowly stands, feeling like both unicorns had trampled him for a week. An image flashes in his mind of one of the unicorns touching him with their horn. It was more of a feeling than a true image, but it was an unmistakable feeling of peace, warmth, and healing. Thanks to that, and the healing potion, Gray's pain was dull, and quickly getting more dull as time passed. The sounds of the unicorns' hooves pounding the ground as they rode toward Ragnar's territory shakes off his remaining grogginess, and Gray moves with all haste away from the fleeing nymph and pixies, trailing those two white wonders of nature and magic. Even in the midst of all this chaos and bloodshed, Gray couldn't help but see the wonder and beauty of the fey realm. Arcadia was definitely a place that Gray wanted to protect.

As soon as the fey were out of sight, Wat dropped to his knees, struggling for breath. He was tired and bruised but knew that he would live as would the others. He was certain that his actions would make gaining Uma's cooperation that much more difficult, but he knew deep down that he would have done it all over again. He understood now what his father had meant. Once he had taken a moment to catch his breath, he returns to the trees, his smile replaced with a cold, distant look.

Rain lags behind somewhat. She picks up the pixie that she swatted and lays him in comfortable position, but then places his weapons on the farthest rock from where he's recovering.

In the meantime, she hunts around for some dock leaves to salve her nettle stings before she wakes him up with a little water from her waterskin; when he stirs, she points out that his companions have fled, tells him roughly where his weapons are and bids him farewell.

She then runs for the trees.

Gray was in pretty sorry shape, so like Wat and Rain, he was in need of a few deep breaths as he rubbed out the many bruises left behind by those nasty pixie arrows. If he ever saw one of those pixies again...it was not likely that he would ignore it once again. Looking back at the glade, Gray narrowed his eyes angrily at the fleeing pixies and nymph (even if he couldn't see them anymore) while wondering just how flammable those little pixie wings were...

Sabynha, though smarting a little from being thrown by the unicorn found mostly damage to her pride from the event, and the only lasting damage seemed to be a tender spot on her chest where she took the wrong end of the nymph's staff.

She did what she could for her companions on the way back to Ragnar's territory, which is to say not much. She hummed an old vistani tune as she walked; it was a calming tune that her dear nana used to sing when overly excited children needed calming, or when she had faced adversity and needed clarity.

Her aim was that it might help her friends put their minds at ease, but it was only when she considered that, that she realized her own mind was unquiet. She was worried about how this incident would affect relations with Uma when that time came. Surely the pixies and the dryad would quickly reach her and tell her what happened. Hopefully, the fact that we used mostly non-violent means would count for something.
