Gavril

"Welcome friend, take a seat." Diddious brings over the drinks and sets one before Athelstan and the others. "Those little bottles of yours really impressed me. I can think of a time or two when a few angry men were chasing me that being able to create a patch of ice or wall of fire would have been most helpful. Is that something one could purchase or a secret of your own devising?"

 

[Mattress]

Ahh, I don't know. I usually keep them pretty close since they're the only other type of defense I have besides my flail. You'd be able to use them, I'm pretty sure, but it'd take me some time and travel to get all the ingredients for them. Perhaps some of the countryside nearby might have something I could work with.

He eyes Gavril closely.

That would assume that I'd be staying, though. Which begs the question, what next?

Daesaigh in the rye

Seeing that everyone has settled, Daesaigh goes to the bar, alone and seats himself to have a drink. Feeling his mask to insure that it is still firmly in place he relaxes a little.

"May I have a straw, madame?"

OOC: Does this time period have straws?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Belly up to the Bar

"A . . . straw? We have some broom straw, or some of the straw we use for ticking for the mattress. Is that what you need?"

Cerallos remains in uncomfortable anticipation

Cerallos still waits for a response from the Stills.

I do hope it's not too sudden to ask, but I have to know some things that could possibly shed some light on tonight's events. If they take offense, then maybe Gealach would know something. There has to be an explanation for what has happened, and I will find it, even if I pass out from exhaustion trying to find it.
Cerallos nervously tightens his fists around his quarterstaff and twists them in opposite directions.

Gavril

"Yes, what next indeed. I have no place to go until the borders are open, and I'm not sure I want to cross that bone pile out there until I have a better understanding of what is happening here, but I don't really fancy staying here either." He shrugs.

 

[Mattress]

Then perhaps we should all keep in mind that strange as it is, things aren't always what they seem like at first. Do you agree?


Athelstan continues to watch closely for any reactions.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Gavril takes a long drink and nods knowingly. "You have the right of it sir. I cannot count the number of times I have found fat pockmarked girls hiding behind a womanly facade of corrsets, makeup and artifice. But I'll let you in on a secret, sometimes those less than perfect girls were a damn sight more fun than the cold hard beauties who were too pampered and spoiled to really give themselves over to proper sport if you know what I mean." He nudges Atheestan and adds in a more conspiritorial voice lest the innkeepress or the children should overhear. "Never judge a book 'til you've read it; never judge a woman 'til you've bed it." He chuckles at his own wit.

 

[Mattress]

I'm afraid I'll have to take your word for that. I've not known the company of a woman for... quite some time.

Athelstan lifts his glass and feigns drinking, instead only letting the liquid touch his closed lips. He then sets the glass down with one hand and wipes away what residue is left with the other.

Won't get me drunk, no sir! Still... perhaps I've nothing to worry about from these people. The charismatic one, at least, seems alright so far.

So what do you think we should all do now?

Backing up the game to heal

OOC:

I like the idea of you not knowing exactly how many BODY any particular wound entails. Let's do it like this - rely on the character you're examining to tell you how badly he's hurt (this allows for some roleplay - e.g. Béar is very stoic and probably would tell you he's barely hurt even as he was bleeding out. "It's just a flesh wound!"). Remember, you've developed healing as a skill, not just as a magical power. You can also examine the wounds (rolling a healing skill check, probably with a decent modifier depending on conditions) to determine severity. I could then give you a rating - Scratch, Mild, Moderate, Severe, Life Threatening, maybe? You could also determine overall condition this way (because enough Scratches add up to Life Threatening). Keep in mind, though, that an abysmal failure on the roll will likely cause you to mis-diagnose.

Mike, Scott,

Sorry, I will have to back up the game a bit to heal Gavril. Skáth will examine Gavril and if he has multiple wounds will try and determine which one is the most severe. He will also ask Gavril which wound seems the most severe to him. (Hopefully the two responses will coincide) Skáth rolls a heal skill check for Gavril (1d6=6, 1d6=1, 1d6=4) to determine severity of Gavrils wounds. After this he will determine how many die to devote to the healing.

Sorry, I have been off for a while, work and girlfriend demanding time. Both have their own rewards.
