Academy of Drell, Part III

That was strange...

Keith nods to Charlotte and at first attempts to tuck the wand into his satchel... he pauses and concentrates and places the wand on Rallyn's shoulder's...

OOC: Rolled a 15, for Use Device, got a 21 total with skill bonus and healed back 8 hit points to Rallyn... from his wand of CLW

"That should help... you were valiant... Rallyn."

Keith turns to Charlotte, "We need to be on our toes..."

This is all getting very strange...

Rallyn Loddry

Rallyn starts a little at gesture, then kicks himself for being rude.

"Thank you Keith. I appreciate it.."

Rallyn indicates Victor, "Twice today he's come to my aid though, I'm supposed to do this," he pauses and indicates his guardsman sash, "Victor here is the valiant one."

Rallyn grins and bumps Victor forward as he continues on his way.
 

Well, Rallyn's been fixed up. By someone without any magical talent, using a wand...

I don't think that that's supposed to happen.

"One step ahead of you," Charlotte says to Keith, indicating her rapier.

Rallyn still doesn't look too good, though. Someone needs to take a look at that... the wound does appear to be deeper than we thought.

"Rallyn, are you sure you're okay? You're not holding out on us, are you? We might run into one of those again, and if you're not as fit as usual, it could be bad - worse than this fight was."
 

Surprise... perhaps he think me uncouth?

Keith nods to Rallyn, then to Victor, "Congrats then to you as well."

Keith looks to Charlotte, but stays silent allowing her to speak.

Each man should know his own limits...

"Oh, I don't deserve them. It was Rallyn's advice that showed me the nature of this monster. I only did my part. He has been really brave." He smiles back at the gnome, then he remembers his sword. A sad look is painted on his face as he picks it up and sheathes it.
Useless, once more
He shakes his head and turns to the others.
"That thing escaped us. There could be others. Walls and door won't be a protection against them, neither our weapons a threat. Be careful. I suggest everyone who sees such a thing to run and find help. Be sure to know where to find at least one other student. May this be a good and restful night for everyone. Our ideas will be clearer tomorrow."
Turning to Rallyn again: "May I help you to your room?"

Bardic Lore to recollect anything I know on that kind of creature 14+5=19

Rallyn Loddry

Rallyn calls over his shoulder, "No thanks, Victor. I think I just need to walk this off a little. That thing really sucks the wind outta you. Wound or no.."

"I'll see you guys tomorrow morning after a little shut eye. Maybe we can figure out what's in Maerath's book or what that spectral tapestry was."

Rallyn again smiles at them and turns around, making for his room.
 

That thing could still be around? That changes the situation. If there is a possibility for others, that's one thing - but if the one we for sure saw isn't necessarily "dead", then we need another plan.

"Rallyn, wait for a moment." Charlotte calls after them. She continues once he returns to the group.

"If that thing is still around, then perhaps we should pair up. We should always be with at least one other student at all times. Maybe even keep a watch during the night. We might even want to stay in rooms that are relatively close to each other, in case of another attack."

She stops, and sighs.

"Yes, I know, I am probably sounding overprotective or something. But if that thing is out there, and possibly more like it, then I think we should stay on our guard, at least for now."

Good idea...

Keith replies softly, "Strength is in numbers... I have to agree... Victor and Rallyn seem to work well together... Charlotte if you don't mind I will pair up with you... I need little sleep... so after a short time meditating I can stand guard the whole night while you get your rest."

The most prudent action... and I dare not leave her out of my sight to be harmed...
 

Well, let's go then.

"Alright, Keith. I'm with you." Charlotte says, looking to the elf and nodding.

She then returns her gaze to the group. "Remember - get a partner before you go anywhere. We probably can't rely on the guards, as sad as that is to say... they didn't seem to notice anything going on thus far. Just make sure that before you leave here, you have a partner, and that you stick together for the night. We should meet back here first thing in the morning, if possible."

She then turns again to Keith. "Well, shall we? Unlike you, I need all the sleep I can get. Do you want to go to your room, mine, or someplace else?"

And where else would we go, other than one of our rooms? Oh well, leave the question open-ended. What's said is said, anyway.
 

"Your room will suffice... there is no need for my comfort. I just need a modicum of tiem to rest... besides I would not mind seeing the inside of your room and not just the door..."

Was that joke?

Keith follows Charlotte alert yet relaxed at the same time, "Tonight has been quite a rush of activity and excitement..."
