[Nonlethal Force]

Varius, Eion:

Ballana smirks and replies, "Well, then. If you both would wait here, I'll go see if my husband is in the barn and ask if he'l get on his horse and round up the ones that you want to look at."

"Please do, although I hope he won't come between us my dear" replies back Varius with a grin, leaning on the fence.

"When I figure out how to flirt with celestials" quips Varius with a grin

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Varius, Eion:

Bellana heads into the barn (about 100 yards off) while Varius and Eion are talking. After about 5 minutes pass, she still has not returned or even appeared at the door of the barn.

 

[Fenris]

The near constant grin on Varius' face fades just a bit as curiosity takes over, with a jerk of his head he signals Eio to follow him and casually, but directly heads towards the barn.

Byntrou, Keryth:

Bahruul replies, "It's nothng, Keryth. We should stay inside tonight. It's safer for us and it's no doubt safer for Markie and Ellayna in case they should need us for some reason."

[Sblock=OOC]Sounds good. We'll just wait for jkason to nod to move ahead and we'll be off. The Bahruul thing was just to get us throught he weekend.[/Sblock]

"Thank the clouds," Byn says. "After what we've been through, I don't think I want to say another rock again, let alone have to use one as a pillow."

[sblock=OOC]Ready when you are[/sblock]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Keryth, Byntrou:

Rising early the next morning and saying pleasant goodbyes, the party can also see that Markie is continuing to progress in his recovery. Ellayna says that they may try to infiltrate the mining establishment in two days if Markie continues to progress this well. Despite any offers to potentially stay and help them return, Ellayna refuses and sends the party on their way so that they can report back to the priests.

OOC EDIT: Whoops, didn't go as far as I wanted with this...

Back to IC: The party is able to make it to Hemlock easily and are able to find their way to the temple of Heironeous. Once there, the same priestess that they had met before greets them and is eager to hear an update.

Eion, Varius:

Entering the same door through which Bellana had gone in, the two fighters suddenly hear excited voices directed in their attention. "Drop your weapons!"

Once their eyesight adjusts to the relative darkness in the barn (only a few seconds go by) the twosome can see that there are three men standing over a wounded man laying on the ground. Bellana is against the far wall and looks pale and afraid. The three men are all dressed in leather and are carrying an assortment of short swords and daggers.

 

[Fenris]

"Or what?" replies Varius

OOC: And how far away are the men?

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Varius, Eion:

[Sblock=OOC]What, you can't read between the lines? .

Okay, okay. I'll tell ya. The men are about 10 feet away, Bellana would be closer to 20. Straight line, no obstacles.

I'll even give you bonus info. The stalls for the horses are to the left of Eion and Varius. There is an open area to the right for things like Farrier work, saddlings, grooming, etc.[/Sblock]

"Or the old man bites it."

[Sblock=OOC]And no, Bellana's husband (if that's even who it is) is not old. He's actually middle aged. But compared to the punk with the sword ... old.[/Sblock]
