[AU] Stone Bones

[dead_radish]

OOC: I get where Atlas is coming from, but Kelthet's fairly lacking in social skills. He's not very interested in either being or following a leader, so he won't really see anything that Atlas is interested in. And he knows that this is something that he should likely respond to, but doesn't know how, so he's fleeing.

"While the dead must be respected, I agree Atlas, we are a little lost down here and we do need your help. I think it would be best to find out right away which direction we should head and get out of here as quickly as possible. Lets try one of the smaller exits for the moment, one that we can all fit down so that we are atleast far from that devilish thing up there. Then I think that we ought to find out what these poor fellows have to say." Phaern says, trying to step in when he sees the two of his friends talking.

*As they begin to move out of the cavern, Kelthet shakes his head at Atlas.* "Maybe. Just because I have a sword, do I have to use it whenever I can? Or only when there is truly need? Should I set a fire for light when I could simply open a window? Do we need to use this item here?"

"Do you have a better suggestion?" Darthallys growls. "Tell us what we're supposed to do given the mess we're in, rather than explaining why any other good suggestion that anybody comes up with is bad."

"I personally doubt that the greyfolk really would have wanted to have died such a meaningless death without being able to impart to us some of that which they hoped to show us. Let us not over concern ourselves with protecting the dead. They will protest for themselves if they feel the need."

Dak looks at Daralthys, eyebrows raised.

"That's a good pernt, cousin."

He turns to Atlas.

"Now, look here, Mr. Gi'nt. You had a good idear. Even ol' Daralthys the razor mouth says so, and he's mean.

Don't you worry 'bout me. I jes cain't remember which way we was supposed to go, but I bet Miz Lesea kin. She's aweful good at rememberin'."

He catches Kethet's eye, and winks.

*Kelthet nods fractionally to Dak, then turns to Dar* "I had thought we'd simply continue following the colors. But it is true they died unfulfilled. I merely wished to bring up a concern." *He continues scanning the ceiling and surroundings, his piece said.*

Atlas

"While we can follow the colors, my main concern is they may have other information to pass on. We still do not know what we are to do when we get to our destination. Or what the bones of the earth actually are." Atlas replies while stil searching a place to camp.

"Let's git on outta here," says Dak. He is still nervous, and looks apprehensively at the ceiling. "Mr. Gi'nt, I'll foller you if you lead us outta this bad place. I'm so spent I won't be much use if that bat critter comes back."
*Dak will lead the mule and follow Atlas. When they find a camping spot, he will use Wilderness Survival to assess the campsite, and Bond with the Green to check the genral state of things.*

[ooc: are we in consensus that we will find a place to rest and leave this room? Do we need a map or somthing to make a decision? It seems that Kelthet, Dak, Daralthys and the mule are all content to follow Atlas, or anybody, if they will make a move.

Oh, and if the Huckleberry Finn schtick is grating on anyone, please speak up. I'd rather tone it down a bit than annoy other players.]

 

[dead_radish]

OOC: Yup. Kelthet isn't keen on leading a group, but I think we've pretty much assumed it's time to hole up and rest a bit. Kelthet is still pretty much at full, save for a few spells, so he can spend a lot of time guarding.

 

[Rybaer]

(ooc - Leesea is probably in the hole-up-and-rest group. Still waiting on Isida to reply to the results of Leesea's delving into the akashic memory, however.)
