Break of Dawn [Manzanita judging] COMPLETED

[B4cchus]

OOC: Sorry if it was unclear (well, it was hidden in a spoiler), but I asked the boar "Translation of snorts and grunts: My dear friend, you are angry. What upsets you so? Why do you hurt my friends?"

Missed that indeed.
The boar replies in shurt grunts "You are on the food grounds. You must not be here. Not much food around. Must protect food. For little ones."

Quarion Holimion, Elven Druid

Quarion's expression softens at the mention of the boar's offspring. He says to the others, "We invaded his territory and he perceived us as a threat to his young." Turning back to the boar, he grunts and snorts some more.

Grunt/Snort Translation:

Spoiler

I am sorry, we did not mean to threaten you. I promise, we will not take your food nor harm your young. Since we are friends, I hope you can forgive our trespass. Will you allow us to stay the night, or should we move on?

OOC: Spoiler text above! ^

 

[B4cchus]

The boar does some more snorting and grunting at Quarion "We trust you. Not trust others. They must leave!"

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Quarion sighs and nods. Grunting his assent, he stands up and addresses the group. "The boar trusts me, but not you. We cannot stay the rest of the night here. I have asked him to leave us be while we pack. Mordik, are you alright?" Quarion offers a spell of healing (CLW) to the dwarf before gathering his things and assisting the others.

Grunt translation: "

Spoiler

Very well. They are my companions, and I must travel with them. We will leave now. Please give us peace as we move our possessions. How far does your territory extend?

"

OOC: Spoiler above ^

 

[Someone]

"A bad tempered boar. Who could have thought of it?" says Odno. "We were leaving this place soon anyway, and I don't think anyone present wants to go back to sleep."

He quickly gathes his things while saying this.

Quarion sighs and nods. Grunting his assent, he stands up and addresses the group. "The boar trusts me, but not you. We cannot stay the rest of the night here. I have asked him to leave us be while we pack. Mordik, are you alright?" Quarion offers a spell of healing (CLW) to the dwarf before gathering his things and assisting the others.

Grunt translation: "

OOC: Spoiler above ^

Aye, I should make it assumin' I don't get attacked by anymore mangy beasties aneh'time soon. Mordik looks at his wounds...they're still readily apparent but no longer gaping and bleeding.

 

[B4cchus]

The boar agrees that you pack your camp. He states that his territory reaches untill the large oak... As you pak your things and travel further you notice a particular large oak, not far from the road.

Quarion Holimion, Elven Druid

Quarion tells the group, "This is the end of the boar's territory. Let us stop here for a while and regain our composure." Quarion casts cure light wounds (6 damage healed) on Mordik so they don't waste charges of the wand.

 

[Someone]

"It was fortunate you are with us" says Odno. "That beast could have killed us all - if druids indeed were the amulet's custodians, we'll have to think on an strategy to deal with creatures as fierce as that boar."

"In any case we should arrive at Dawn in short order - I'm ready to continue our way, if you all agree."

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Quarion Holimion, Elven Druid

"We were caught by surprise, and Mordik was unlucky. If my magic had failed, the boar would have been easy for us to deal with, but I am satisfied with the current course of events. In this amulet is guarded, we will have worse creatures to deal with than an angry boar, I think."

OOC: Are we all rested? Or will we spend today fatigued?
