Aelspeth Noromiel, Novice Conjurer Aelspeth remains doubled over for a moment, hacking to expel the smoke from her lungs. She straightens and smears the back of her hand over her face, eyes streaming and nose running from the acrid air. The wizard drops her quarterstaff and plunges a...

Zinnelis Laediril Zinnelis Laediril, Elven Ranger (Level 2) Calathil Manor Late Afternoon Round 0 Zinnelis threw his arm up as the rush of air fed the flames of the fire. He felt it licking at him, but the damage was minimal. He sheathed his sword and pulled out an arrow, taking aim at the...

Darwin, Cantankerous Primate Within the sash on Aelspeth's back, Darwin smells smoke. Smoke! Fire! He feels her begin to cough, her back hitting him in the face, and experiences the pain as if it were his own. His lungs feel seared by the airborne ash. He grabs the top of the sash with one tiny...

Aelspeth Noromiel, Novice Conjurer When Leira mentions "more valuable people", Aelspeth opens her mouth as if to respond. Then Theia beats her to the punch. The elf's teeth clack with the force of her jaw slamming shut and her eyes widen in shock at just what the witch said. Unsure how to...

Leira Olren, Master of Martial Arts Eying Rak'tan eating yet more of the food, Leira does little to hide her disgust. "I guess we should be prepared to burn anymore undead like this one. How many times did they die, I wonder."

Calithil Manor - Kitchen Rak'tan tastes the stew the chef was working on. It's flavor is surprisingly delicate, clearly the work of a skilled chef. The bits of meat in the pot, while quite tasty, are difficult for him to place. After chewing on it for a minute, he decides that it is simply pork...

Theia Merryweather, Black Mage Theia gives Leira a nod in affirmation.

Zinnelis Laediril Zinnelis Laediril, Elven Ranger (Level 2) Calathil Manor Late Afternoon Round 0 With the undead chef defeated, Zinnilis moved into the kitchen and yanked one of his arrows out of the wall. He helped Rak’tan check some barrels, only to find rotting vegetables, and then Rak’tan...
