Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[GruTheWanderer]

The return trip to the campsite is relatively uneventful, although at one point you hear more drums and crashing to the southeast. Perhaps the lizardfolk have caught their blue demon.

The campsite's condition has not changed since you left it. Morella expresses some dismay at the scatter tents, blankets, and foodstuffs. Zoya points to the shrieking fungus and identifies it as Stepan's handiwork. She and Yegor begin setting the campsite in order.

During the journey back to the campsite, Amanu strikes up a conversation with Morella on all manners of things arcane. He is curious to know the extent of her training and her views on the discipline.

Once we get to camp, Marcus will take the opportunity to nap for a little bit. The trip back to the campsite was particularly stressful, both because he couldn't see where he was going and because he feels he is shirking his responsibilities.

By napping now, he will be more alert and able to use his ears when the camp nosie dies down.

Once the group arrives, Erenal will go to sleep and try and shake off the effects of the poison. Hopefully he thinks, Arramor will be able to find a cure soon.

Understanding Marcus and Erenal need rest, Arramor directs the remaining members of the party to set up a perimeter and maintain vigilance.

"The hunters may react unfavorably to finding us in their camp."

In the course of their wait, Arramor attempts to strike up a conversation with Morella and find out her story. He will also ask her and Zoya if they know anything about this blue armored demon that is troubling the Lizardmen.

*clatter of dice* Morella appears to be quite intimidated by Arramor, and doesn't reveal much to him. She does open up to Amanu however, perhaps because she didn't see him until after the confrontation or perhaps because of their shared interest in arcane things.

Her passion is abjuration, or "Privacy and Protection" as she refers to it. Her own abilities seem somewhat limited yet (dispel magic is beyond her), but she appears intimately familiar with higher level abjurations. She rattles on about the names of well-known Abjurers, including her former mentor, Demetrius, who retired two years ago with the oath, "Don't even THINK about coming to visit!"

Recently short on funds, Morella took employment with Haworth as a spelljammer and security specialist. He seemed quite interested in keeping his ship and his belongings safe from prying eyes, a feeling Morella understood perfectly. With his funding she purchased a number of wands, scrolls, and other security devices.

After several hours of rest Theryndil hears voices approaching from the southeast. They are somewhat low and appear to be singing a drinking song. They are perhaps two-hundred feet away, although it is impossible to see more than half that distance through the trees.

Theryndil tells Arramor and Marcus what he's heard, and then manifests invisibilty. Bow drawn, Theryndil sneaks out towards the voices and sees...

Amanu takes up a position in plain sight, clutching to his spear but maintaining a non-threatening sitting position. His eyes and ears search carefully for all the dwarves approaching.

Arramor awakens Marcus and Erenal, informing them of the situation, and then calmly prepares to greet his new guests.
