A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

[Leif]

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou's rope is safely stowed in Puddin's saddlebags. He'll retrieve it and prepare to lower a line to the stranger. "How are you planning to do this, anyway, once you can reach the rope," Houwlouw asks?

Radoon

"Well, sir, I suppose I'll tie the rope 'round my waist or chest and try to walk up the wall as you gentlemen pull from up there. It's going to hurt like all the Hells but the alternatives are slim and none. I do appreciate the help. I suppose I should take your javelin out of my leg before I try to make it up, though."

So saying, he draws a dagger and bites down on the leather hilt, grasps the javelin shaft firmly in both hands and draws it smoothly out, groaning just a little with the pain. He slides the javelin between his pack and his back and proceeds to tie the rope around his chest, then quietly waits for you all to come to a decision about how to help him.

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou does his best impersonation of a bridge abutment, takes the rope in one hand, with the standing end going up his back, over the opposite shoulder, and holds it firmly in his other hand. The running end is what Radoon has around him.

"Ok, men, all together now, HEAVE!"

OOC: The idea being that Houwlou is the anchor, and the others heave on the rope between Houwlou and Radoon.

Radoon

You have Radoon up out of the cactus in fairly short order, though the climb is definitely not easy on him. He restores Houwlou's javelin with a slight bow and a grimace of pain (this guy's not gonna make it back to the camp without some help - a shoulder to lean on at least).

"Captain Cruin gave me descriptions of those I was to meet, and I can't imagine there are too many parties around with an Olcán, an Abhac, an Áilleacht, a BeagDaonna. As I said before, I am Radoon, and I have a message for Kecil. It is not urgent, and if you don't mind I'd prefer to wait until I get some of my wounds taken care of before delivering it."

Harn does indeed help to retrieve the poor amn with howlou. he then retrievs the dead pug wannabe.

Houwlou Groulenas

Somewhat embarrassed that he thought this new ally was an enemy, Houwlou's tail sinks down between his legs, and, if not for his facial fur, his face would probably be beet red. "Please forgive the rough welcome that I first offered.....um.... Radoon, is it? Yes, we do make for a motley bunch, don't we? We're not likely to be mistaken for any other group, that's for sure!"

for just the briefest of momnets it seemed that harnrey has a smirk of "i told you so" on his face. or so it seemed.

 

[Leif]

Houwlou Groulenas

For a not so brief moment, a snarl comes across Houwlou's face that clearly and unmistakably says "Oh, BITE me!" to Harnrey. [just call him "Ornery Harnrey", or better yet, "Hornery" for short! ]

"ooooo! is the big bad wolf hungry?" He hold up the perferated pugnatious pugwumpi that has passed on in front of howlou.

"Ugh! I'd rather eat my own vomit!" (OOC: no comment, please, from the peanut gallery about dogs eating their own vomit!)
