[D&D 4e] IG's "Those Left Behind, Chapter 4(e)"

[Friadoc]

Without raising word to the others, Buurt waits a moment or two before checking to see where Caerwyn is heading toward. He figures that the others can fill him in when they return, plus he needs some air as well.

Without raising word to the others, Buurt waits a moment or two before checking to see where Caerwyn is heading toward. He figures that the others can fill him in when they return, plus he needs some air as well.

Buurt thinks that perhaps he waited too long, as there is no sign of Caerwyn anywhere. Perhaps he's wandered off into the woods?

"I need some air," Caerwyn says. The talk of hags and magical teleportation seems to have done the barbarian in for a moment. He pulls out his chair and uncharacteristically kisses his sister on the top of her head as he passes her by, and then quietly steps outside. Through the dirty window, Buurt can see the holy warrior take a deep breath of the fresh air before he rounds the corner of the shack, out of site.

The old man watches, and then answers Talashia's question. "A couple days west, just along the river. Be best to wait until morning to give you as much daylight as possible. No telling what's lingerin' in those lights at night, and I sure wouldn't wanna find out!"

Shai scratches Dyspeer affectionately on the head as he sees the brotherly affection from Caerwyn, and thinks nothing of the warrior walking out for air. At the offer of staying overnight, he smiles.

"With all the critters about, I'd rather see 'em coming, myself," the large man agrees.

Uulark sighs, gets up and selects a hide from the stack of pelts near (but not too near) the fire, stakes out a spot on the floor, spreads the bearskin, takes his boots off, and makes himself comfortable.

 

[Scotley]

"Well, if we are going to wait until daylight to move on we may was well settle in. You lot get some rest and I'll take the first watch." Announces Rogash as he checks his crossbow and looks about.

 

[Friadoc]

Once he's sure, Buurt returns to the others with a quizzical look upon his face and a shrug of his shoulders.

"I guess he's going for a walk," states the half-orc simply enough.

 

[Scotley]

Rogash shakes his head. "Damn silly thing to do under the circumstances. But I guess he needs a little time to think after what we've seen. I'll keep an eye out for his return." He puts a thick hand to the back of his neck rubbing at some tension there. "So much horror, death and destruction..." he adds to no one in particular.

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia glances at Buurt and frowns, but says nothing in reply. Instead she murmurs, "Shazi...keep watch from atop the roof tonight. Warn me if you see anything dangerous."

She pauses, then adds, "That means either something larger than you, or many many things as small or smaller."

The invisible mephit's eye-rolling is almost audible.

The door has just opened, seemingly by itself, when Talashia adds, "And if you see Caerwyn...tell me too."

The door shut. Talashia undoes her bedroll and sets it out alongside the wall.

"I thought Caerwyn was just going out for a stretch of the legs and perhaps to answer nature's call? Surely you don't need Shazi to be monitoring him at a time like this. But he is your brother after all..."

 

[Shayuri]

"He's not monitoring Caerwyn. He'll just let me know when...well, when he's coming back. Otherwise he'll stay on top of the house and keep an eye out for danger. Like usual."
