[AU] Stone Bones

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Leesea, you search about and find the place to be more level that is normal for a cave floor, and covered in soft dry dirt instead of stone. In a couple places along the wall you find a small alcove blocked with stone that contains dried mushrooms in a pouch and an old waterskin.*

*In a few places in the floor you find some old eggshell fragments and tiny bones. Other than that, it seems that the place hasn't been used recently.*

"This looks like a great spot Leesea. Any one around need to have those scratches looked at? I am sure we can patch them up right nice before bedding down for the night. Oh and for watches I guess we need more than one per watch so I will join Kelthet on last watch."

*Once the others have started to setup camp, Phaern will draw his spryterod and placing it gingerly over the scratches on his arm he chants softly and a light silver glow eminates from the end of the rod drawing the lines of red out and niting the flesh together. [ooc: cast transfer lesser wounds]*

*Once the fire has been lit he will pull out his journal and flip to the map, checking to make sure it matches up with his memory to this point. Then he will flip back to the journal section and record today's events.*

"So I'm on the middle watch" Atlas says. "Anyone wish to join me?"

 

[Corinthi]

*Darthallys paces around the cave, pausing briefly to nudge some broken eggshell with his boot. He doesn't seem entirely comfortable with his surroundings, but doesn't voice complaint at this point.*

"I prefer the early watch. Despite the perpetual gloom, I can tell it's too soon for me to be sleeping."

*That said, the Sibeccai kneels down and begins fishing food from his slingbag for the groups evening repast.*

*While on watch, Darthallys spends his time kneeling by cave's mouth, watching the outside passage. To stave off boredom, he performs routine maintenance on his weapons and armor.*

*While on his watch, Wil relaxes and watches Darthallys clean his gear. He subconsciously has his hands and fingers going through symbols and patterns.*

*Darthallys glances over at the Runethane's gesturing and grins toothily.* "Heh, a pair of warriors keeping the tools of thier trade well polished." *His voice is a soft burr against the background of the wind, but carries well enough.*

"You are a peculiar sort, Wiletto Restat. My wants and passions I feel are readily apparent. Yours are a quieter sort. Why are you doing all this?"

"You are a peculiar sort, Wiletto Restat. My wants and passions I feel are readily apparent. Yours are a quieter sort. Why are you doing all this?"

"I am doing this for a few reasons. One - For my friend Ji-Hecma. I will be there for the lot of ya. I won't run away with my tail between my legs. Two - For Vesune. I'm hoping we are successful in this quest." *Wil blushes at this statement and hopes that it is too dark for the sibeccai to notice.*

"And of course for..." *Wil smiles and says no more.*

Not all my dreams will I speak aloud.

*Darthallys looks as though he's prepared to object to the tease, but then shrugs and looks back to his cleaning rags.* "You are a sentimental fool, Wil. I hope you take care not to become a dead one. I would hate to explain to your giant why I couldn't keep you alive when I meet him in the hereafter."

*Kelthet sits quietly, off to the side of the area. He is nervous at the indications that others have been here before. As he waits, he methodically removes all the items from his witchbag and places them in front of him, cataloguing and reviewing each of them. Satisfied, he repacks the bag, and again falls quickly asleep.*

*The night passes quietly for most. You can hear the sounds of the river as well as air moving in the passageway, along with other, perhaps half-imagined sounds of drips and small scuffles. During the second watch you see some bats fly by, and during the third you hear the lowing of something cowlike over the dull roar of the river. When you all feel somewhat refreshed, you are proded awake by the third watch, and the lanterns are uncovered.*

*Indacalis took third watch (along with anyone else), and has managed to determine that the mushrooms you guys found are both non-poisonous and edible. He chucks them into the morning's stew to add some substance and they add a pleasent nutty flavor.*
