Bounty of the Endless Sands

[BigB]

Rhys looks around. Is that it are we ready to get moving again?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Looks like it)

*Fortunately blessed with Findoram's innovation and good luck, they manage to wait out the hot sun that day and the next, though they can't travel while they are seeking cover. Nevertheless, they are soon presented with a different hazard, one that requires more than a simple covering from the sun--a harsh and fierce sandstorm begins to blow in, searing sand rippling through the desert at incredible speeds.*

(OOC: Still only Irene has the tent, and for the first time, Endure Elements won't help against this one either--plans?)

Rhys

Rhys looks at the coming wall of sand with some trepidation. I hate sand in my clothes. It is so irritating! What if we gather the camels in a circle tie them up, and dig holes to keep the worst of this storm off of us? Perhaps if we cover our faces, mainly our eyes mouth and nose, with cloth as well. It is all I can think of.

 

[B4cchus]

"Secure the animals! Let's use the shelter to wrap around outselves! Use some cloth to cover your face!" Findoram yells out as he sees the sandstorm approach.
He quickly dismounts and starts to make preperations against the storm.

 

[Lot]

Eskon looks with horror at the approaching storm.

"Hyrag, protect us," he mutters to himself as he climbs down from his mount.

Grabbing his saddle off the camel, he opens his saddlebags looking for his heavy blanket and bedroll. Going over to the others, he adds his equipment to the group's pile as he did before to assemble the makeshift tent.

 

[BigB]

Rhys follows suit giving aid as much as he can to build a shelter from the storm.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Unfortunately, according to Sandstorm, that's not going to be enough cover)

*As the Sandstorm grows in intensity, it becomes apparent that the only way to keep completely safe is going to be to hunker down in a well-secured shelter like the tent used normally, not a makeshift cover like the one they rigged up to block out the sun. Unfortunately, the only cover is Irene's small tent, which will only fit herself and Rhys easily, since Rhys is so small, and maybe one more person if they huddled in very close.*

Rhys watches the sandstorm coming and wonders can we outrun this?

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Outrunning the storm seems highly unlikely. They can try to dig in and weather it, but only those inside the secured tent are likely to come out unharmed.*

Rhys frowns. Sand. It would not be so bad to not see sand again. I suppose it is time to start digging in. Rhys starts digging a hole at an angle so that he will be able to get the upper part of his body under cover with some room for air in case he gets trapped. Do you need a survival role (22)
