Byntrou, roguishly sorcerous barbarian

Byntrou shakes his head in mock disgust at the antics of his companions. Meanwhile, Delcoi slithers out his sleeve and curls about the fingers of his right hand. lifting her up, the shorter of the two bous says, "Well, at least Delcoi will have a wild hunting ground. I suspect she's quite bored with a diet of Inn rats."
 

Destiny adds, "Well, at least the Inn rats should be well fed. Delcoi might need two wild rats to make up for one of the others!"

As time passes by, the woman of the house eventually does bring out a slice of pie for the lot lounging in her front lawn. The pie is definately a fruit pie and the fruit looks like a round light red berry. There is a bit of a tang to the pie - which has been sweetened. The pie is not unlike a raspberry pie except that the fruit are round.

"You folks need anything else before Tru and I turn in?"
 

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“No, nothing, thank you, you’ve been very kind already,” Keryth replies, smiling as he takes another bite of the pie.

"Indeed," Byntrou concurs, tasting the pie himself. Once they've eaten, Byn lies back and closes his eyes. "Wake me for my watch?" he mutters as he quickly starts to doze off.
 

[Sblock=OOC]Not sensing any great desire to hold off ... I'll go ahead and bump to the morning.[/Sblock]

The party awakes - having gone through their regular schedule of watches ... or lack therof ... to the realization that they have been sleeping for about an hour after sunrise. Perhaps it is the cool mountain air, the mild humidity, the pleasant breeze, or some other combination of a beautiful mountain morning; but for whatever the reason they are awakened by the sound of a passing stranger carrying a basket. As they look, they see the backside of a woman carrying a basket with a small towel over the top. She is about 10 yards down the road, heading in a direction that seems to indicate the temple.

Sending out the empathic nudge Byntrou uses to call Delcoi to him, the shorter boes looks to his fellows.

"You suppose that's our madman's breakfast?" he asks. "Even if it's not, shall we pester him some more, or ask around town elsewhere?"

By now Delcoi has slithered through the grass, and Byntrou offers his hand for her to climb up. as he waits for the others to respond.
 

"I'm up for a little pestering myself" Bahruul says as he rises and stretches "And perhaps he'll share his breakfast" the big bous says rubbing at his belly.
 

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Most likely, unless there’s another crippled miner around...who has no-one to look after him,” Keryth offers. “Well, we should go see if we can get into the temple anyway. Hmm, I wonder what reception we’ll get...maybe Markie will think he’s known us for years this morning,” he remarks, chuckling briefly as he gets up and prepares to head to the temple.
