Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Ashy]

Tristan nods gratefully as Kyron casts the spell to ward off the oppressive heat. He didn't know much about magic, and he certainly didn't understand it, but it could be very nice on occasion.

"Thank you."

He stood up straight once more and looked off in the direction Baja had traveled, hoping that the half-orc had found something usefull.

OOC: Endure Elements is creature touched only. Only Kyron is no longer feeling da heat.

"He then moves to similarly ward the others who are in heavy armor while Baja scouts ahead."

My plan was to cast it multiple times assuming it takes Baja more than half a minute to scout ahead and return.

OOC: Done.

Baja wipes an already sweaty forearm across his even more sweaty forehead, flicking off the moisture and not noticing how it evaporates before even hitting the sands.

Dere's a big field of warriors who's not movin' any more. Blood and guts and stuff everywhere. Jus' over there. He points off to from where he came. An' all da li'le lizards, dems are eatin' tha bodies. Makin' Baja hungry and feel sick all at da same timez.

 

[hafrogman]

Tristan listens to Baja's simple, but vivid explaination. He casts his eyes back over the dunes surrounding them.

"Blood red sand. . ." He shakes his head as if to clear it. "If the bodies are still. . . fresh, then whatever battle was fought there must have presumably been fairly recent. Perhaps an investigation would allow us to see where the warriors came from, or where the survivors went. Either way might lead us to whatever passes for civilization in this place."

 

[Vendetta]

"Then let us go have a look around." Xerxes says. "There's not much wind; tracks should still be present, if we are lucky."

 

[Ferrix]

As Baja speaks Kiera remains silent, her features quiet and undisturbed, hearing the descriptions of the field of carnage brings images back from her youth, thoughts of her parents, the wise woman and then of course Nitan, brought her through a silent reverie of unimaginable horrors. Closing her eyes for a moment she sheds the memories hold on her and then opens her eyes again. Her senses returning just as Tristan begins to speak.

Turning her attention to the half-elf she waits for him to finish, then breaking the sound of the wind with her soft voice she begins, "we are in a domain called Arena. The carnage you have seen is the way of life, it is fight and perish or worse yet. It is most likely a good idea to investigate the battlefield, but I have the feeling that any civilization it might implicate will feel far from cozy."

Turning in the direction that Baja had seen the carnage, she begins to walk slowly, the red sand swelling outwards from her footsteps. Her voice carrying back to the rest of the party, "it is best we move before it gets too cold."

 

[hafrogman]

Tristan nods at the cleric's words and watches her for a second as she sets off. After she has taken a few steps he joins her, walking a couple of paces behind and to her right, keeping an eye out for any potential threats.

 

[Voadam]

Kyron sheathes his sword and follows "Let us see what the dead can tell us then."

 

[Voadam]

As Kyron leads his horse along he starts to think tactically about their situation. His divine sun magic can keep the worst of the heat off of those in armor, and he knows the charm for summoning water which will also probably be useful later. Baja can catch those lizards providing some meat for the party as everyone except the lumin himself needed to eat, but the horses will need something, which means Kiera's create food and water blessing of Pelor the next day.

Hmm . . . with two suns this will affect the ritual time of dawn when his divine powers rejuvenate. He will have to attune himself to this world's cycles and determine how to tap the divine energy present. Two suns might even provide some extra power for himself and the sun-god follower who both utilize divine sun power in different ways.
