[AU] Stone Bones

[Rybaer]

*As Leesea steps out, Kelthet does the same - the more socially inclined will be more than able to deal with the mundane details.*

*He approaches Leesea as she stands, clearly lost in thought (well, clear to most people....)*

"Is there aught you have found in your searches? The Record could well provide information about this place, or these Greyfolk....."

Leesea smiles at Kelthet. "The Record?" she asks. "Are you referring to the Akashic memory?

"I've tried delving into it already and have had limited success. I will try again, but only as we learn new bits of information. If I can focus my searches based on information I already know, I think I'm more likely to learn something useful to us. It's an inexact process, and I'm still far from being a master."

Phaern hangs around inside the shop with Darthallys and Atlas as the conclude their business. He looks around a bit to see if he spots anything else that might look helpful on their journey. He is glad that Darthallys looks like he is in a better mood, back to his old self again. This journey looks quite promissing, they sprtye has never had much opportunity to explore the deep depths beneath Serran.

*Kelthet just grins awkwardly, and nods. He casts about, looking for the rest of the group, not trusting himself to speak any further, and begins to gather his supplies.*

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Everyone gathers up their supplies, shouldering their packs and drawing their cloaks around them. The sibeccai woman waves good-bye as you all head out. Lead by Indacalis, you head out of the city, into the sparse woods around Ra-Toqu. The short sibeccai is able to lead you unerringly to the cave that he slept in the other night, looking inside you all see that indeed is red inside. The mottled red walls remind some of you of dried blood, a rather macabre thought for this fine early afternoon.*

*The sun is shining brightly through the few trees, making pools of gold on the grass and bushes, the occasional violet or wild rose adding splashes of color. You can hear several kinds of birds singing, as well as the occasional rustling from squirrels, rabbits, and other small game. Perhaps you look around at the sun, listen to the wind, and take it all in, saving this greenery and free air inside you. Because as you turn back to the cave you realize that it is long, dark, and it could be months before you see the sun again. What is awaiting you down there, you do not know...*

 

[Corinthi]

*Darthallys looks into the cave, after his pleasant trek through the wood, then arches an eyebrow over toward Indacalis,* "With this entire green wood to choose from, you opt to sleep in a cave that looks like a giant fresh wound into the earth? Perhaps you are a bit more peculiar than I first suspected."

*The Mageblade darts up to the front of the group and spins to face them, arms spread wide in a halting gesture,* "I vote we camp outside tonight. We can hunt some fresh meat, rest under the stars, and have one last night before we plunge into constant darkness."

*Lowering his arms, he continues,* "I will, however, yield to popular opinion. If you wish to press on, I shall do so without complaint, however I will not claim responsible for any unusual dreams we suffer from such opressive environs."

Wil

*The Mageblade darts up to the front of the group and spins to face them, arms spread wide in a halting gesture,* "I vote we camp outside tonight. We can hunt some fresh meat, rest under the stars, and have one last night before we plunge into constant darkness."

*Lowering his arms, he continues,* "I will, however, yield to popular opinion. If you wish to press on, I shall do so without complaint, however I will not claim responsible for any unusual dreams we suffer from such opressive environs."

"I would like to press on. I look forward to any dreams that we have. They will help guide our way."

*Wil is busy transferring goods from his horse to his mule:
sack - 1/2 lb [.1 gp]
Bedroll - 5 lbs [.1 gp]
Blanket, winter - 3 lbs [.5 gp]
Rations, trail (7 days) - 7 lbs [3.5 gp]
Artisan’s tools, masterwork (tattoo kit) - 5 lbs [55 gp]
Cold weather outfit - 7 lbs [8]
Rope, silk (50 feet) - 5 lbs [10 gp]
Dagger - 1 lb [2 gp].

Wil takes off the bit and bridle and the saddle off of his horse and places them just inside the cave. He slaps the horse's ass to go run into the woods. Wil has Fault-Finder in hand. He looks at each member in the Company of the Stones.*

"I'm all set to continue. Lead the way Indacalis."

*Wil starts whistling softly once we enter the cave. Anyone who actually bothers to listen can tell that it is a romantic ballad.*

*Kelthet looks awkwardly at the Sibeccai.* "I fear that I too am more comfortable below the earth..."

Phaern flies over to the rest, readjusting the small pack that hangs beneath his wings. "I too, would like to head in to the cave system now and see how far we can get before bedding down for the night. While I urged that we gather as much information as we could prior to setting off, I believe that we need not pause on the brink of our journey."
