Academy of Drell, Part 6

Lyrique

The trip back up the mountain is a lot more tiring and colder than the trip down was. Once on the plateau, it's very quiet, there are no signs of other habitation.

Spot check please

Victor appears to be having trouble coming to full consciousness. Maybe the last blow he took was to the head?

When Sildarin winces as Glukma's words, the half-elf laughs. "Better get used to that term. I already heard a few other people use it," he says, tapping a finger aside his slightly pointed ears.
 


Mortimer sits up slowly, wincing with pain.

"Gods, I don't want to do that again." Looking around himself, he takes in the large group of villagers, and his companions.

"By the lack of orcs, I'm going to guess we won?" Mortimer tries to stand, yelps in agony, and sits back down. "Never a priest around when you need one... Any of you lot good with healing?"
 

Sildarin's shoulders slumb.
"So... it has come to this..."

He gets up and starts drifting towards the shore, seeing if the shaman's body is still in sight. If it is adrift on the waves, he manifests ectoplasmic strand to pull it back to the shore. His inner conversation continues as he does all this.

So... I'm a hero...
Better get used to it, you're going to be hearing that a lot.
So it seems... what did I do to deserve this?
You ended up following the wrong people first to the cafeteria, then to the library.
You think that's when it started?
At least by the time you tried to hook me up with Charlotte's psicrystal.
That didn't go well... I was too scared to answer when she asked how the two of you would talk.
Yea, and you still haven't made up that for me. How about trying to repeat that act now? Especially since Keith isn't on the way anymore.
Isn't what? What do you mean?
He isn't on the way. You know, he's been keeping kinda low profile for the last day. Charlotte's pretty much a free target, considering that one day was all they were together. If even that.
How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not interested in Charlotte right now. Not interested in anybody for the moment. Besides, me being an elf would probably just remind her of him even more...
So you are interested in her. Or are you interested in one of the guys?
No, that's not it. I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship.
Bah!

Rounding the small hillocks near the Smatherspather's brick building, Lyrique almost stumbles into four of the orcs. He sees them about the same time they see him. These orcs are covered in red studded leather armor, carrying some kind of double weapon (the ends are sharpened crescent moons).

roll initiative, and bardic lore
 

Sildarin

Sildarin retrieves the floating body of the sorcerer. On his person is thirty more of the ancient silver coins and an odd-looking dagger. It seems greenish in the light from the bonfire.
 


Mortimer

None of the remaining Drell citizens seem to be spellcasters or healers... or any of the teachers, for that matter.
