[QUOTE="Orichalcum, post: 1050197, member: 3722"] [b]Third Session: O to be in Britannia Fourth Post: PC-PC Action[/b] The party rests and heals in a small hut at the far outskirts of the Iceni village, which Brythaena has provided. Immediately, a major argument breaks out about what to do with the staff of Aeduana. Meloch and Wena believe firmly that they need to go to Mona as soon as possible and get this curse lifted; they are extremely unhappy about having the grass die under them, the horrible bitter taste bread and fruits now have, and the very fact of having a curse. Marcus, on the other hand, wants no truck with doing what a Druid wants. He suggests new careers as road cleaners for the Empire, while they patiently wait out the seven years, and starts trying to figure out ways of safely using boats, which (they test) would normally rot out from underneath their very feet. Metellus is undecided. Cornelia decides that she can't deal with this right now, and goes off to the cliffside, to mourn her father and make the appropriate offerings. She asks the spirit of her great-grandfather, with whom she can communicate through his funeral mask, to watch over her father and await his arrival in the Elysian Fields. Metellus eventually decides to take the matter to Governor Cimbrus and ask for his decision, which Marcus and Cornelia accede to, and Meloch and Wena end the debate.
