Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Argent Silvermage]

"I agree with you all. Lets quit this place before something unspeakable floats down our way." Lyrique says with a look of pure disgust.

 

[Zhure]

Well, unspeakable things already floated by, but, since they were unspeakable, I didn't mention them.

I assume everyone wants to retreat back to the cove then?

 

[Dalamar]

"I'm... I'm okay, don't worry..."
Sildarin relaxes his hand, not having even noticed that he still held his chest like he had suffered from the strike instead of Boromin.
"It's nothing..."

 

[Jarval]

"If you're sure." Mortimer looks at Sildarin with concern. "But we don't want you keeling over on us. If you're hurt, get help." He pats Sildarin on the shoulder as he wades past, heading for the fresher air of the cove.

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin smiles a weak smile.
"...yeah..."
He waits for the others to pass and again takes the rear of the group.

 

[Tokiwong]

"Yeah don't die, we still have a use for you Sildarin," Keith replies making his way for the entrance, "looks like we got more searching to do tommorow."

 

[Dalamar]

A use for me? He says it like I was an object.
I believe he thinks you a useful tool
That could be it, he feels cold and calculating.
That's an understatement!

 

[Jeremy]

"Yeah don't die, we still have a use for you Sildarin," Keith replies.

What? And we'll let him die if he decides we don't have a use for him... Talk about back-handed.

Rallyn steps around a mess as big as he is to slap Sildarin on the back, well, lower back at least. He winks up at him, "Nothing huh? You mean you didn't just take someone else's beating for them again? Hang in there Sildarin, we need heroes like you. Remember? All that "Heroes of Drell" talk? That was about you too."

Rallyn steps in something he'd rather not have.. "Aw, come on... Let's get out of this filth."

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin looks down at the gnome, actually smiling a little.
"I did that... and will probably quite a few times more..."

It's good to remember not all are like Keith.
Yeah, some of them are worse.
You're being unfair.
Serves you well for not warming up towards any of them. Especially the females, well, female at the moment.

 

[Zhure]

The journey back to the cove is uneventful, but the group is watchful nonetheless. Once outside, it's begun to get a little darker and colder than before. In fact, the only real warmth is coming from the relatively warmer waters of the ocean.


Once outside, the bloody signs of Glukma and Boromin's brief struggles are evident. Glukma's tracks can clearly be seen walking to the shadowy recesses of a bundle of pine trees, then ends abruptly.
