Bother Around Beregost

OOC:
[sblock] I thought that people had drifted off, including me. I'll remind myself what's going on and do an update later today or tomorrow morning
[/sblock]

[sblock]Nope, no drifting. I am actually quite sentimental to this game, as it is the first one I've played via pbp. I honestly just forgot it was my turn; I thought I was still waiting on you. When there were no more updates, well.. you know the drill. In any case, I'd very much like to continue going with Korik. Thanks for being willing to.[/sblock]

So I guess we're going west. Ivellious will be looking for anything that is out of the ordinary

Sounds like a plan to me. And to Korik, too.

The night is fine, though a little bit cold and damp should you stray away from the fire. Ivellious has nothing of intrest to report on his watch, and when Korik takes over for the second all seems well.
However in the hours before dawn you begin to see mist swirl in, however the area within and immediately around the stone circle itself remains clear and open with no fog forming or drifting in. It's also fair to say that the prevailing wheather conditions are not ones normally associated with fog. It is still about two hours to dawn.

Korik watches the swirling mists for a while, making sure he stays well within the clear area. Unless immediate danger is obvious, he'll wait to wake up Ivellious.

Korik watches the clouds swirl and thicken for about half an hour before the moaning begins. At first coming from the south west of the circle, then answering calls from all sides until it sounds like all the sorrow and despair in the world is being vocalised from the woods around your camp. You can't see what's making this rather unnerving racket, but you'd hazard a guess that it is undead of some sort.

Well, this might be worth seeing, Korik thinks to himself as he turns back toward Ivellious. He gently nudges him with his foot. "Get up--something is happening," he says simply.

"Grim!" he says sharply, calling the dog to his side. Together he and Grim pace the clearing, his hammer in hand, his heart thumping hard inside his massive, heaving chest.

"Your god be with you, friend," he says to Ivellious as he prepares.

Ivellious groggily raises out of his bed ready to ask questions when he hears Korik calls Grim to his side. Instead of wondering what is going on, the warrior within him grabs his sword belt and straps it on his waist and calls out "Cormick! Here boy!"

"Your god be with you, friend," he says to Ivellious as he prepares.

He starts to put his armor on and replies "My both of our gods be with us both"

 

[Wilphe]

"Your god be with you, friend,"
"My both of our gods be with us both"

As these phrases pass your lips the trees around the circle tremble violently as if being shaken and the moans seem to intensify before dying away again. Your companions are up and to your sides, as you walk the perimeter you see a gull fly out from the mist into the circle, a wisp of moisture follows it and wraps around it. A few seconds later its wings stop beating and it drops from the sky.

"Hrmph," Korik grunts as he watches the bird fall from the sky. He cocks his head to the left and takes a step closer to it, trying to see if he can notice anything unusual about it... other than the obvious.
