(OOC: Lesser Restoration worked, but it takes a few days to fully recover)Kael readies himself. He feels that it is time to move on. His wanderlust may have ben dulled for the past few weeks, but it is always with him, and knowing that they are not going to sit back and wait for Aldern's masters to find them, but are instead going to go and hunt out this evil ... well, it makes him feel better. He hides his nerves well.Jovik just takes some time with his family. He knows he is heading south to Magnimar - something he has always wanted to do (and many times threatened his mother he would do). He is nervous, excited, and also a little bit impatient. He hates waiting. Still, it has been nice to spend a few last days getting teased mercilessly by his brothers, although he knows that secretly they are jealous, so he just took it in good spirit. A life of gutting fish was no longer in Jovik's future, but then there was a fair chance that he would end up with a sword in his gut at some point, and it was that fear that seemed to always play in his mother's mind. She didn't speak it, but he could see it in her eyes.Danth just wanted to get on with it. He wanted to get back to Magnimar and check in on the orphanage, to see how things were going, to feel the 'normal' worries of his cares put things in perspective.Jokad, for once in his life, felt weak. As each day passed he felt less weak, and the hideous bruising on his shoulder died down to little more than a small silvered scar.When he heard they were moving on he felt so happy - back into the mouth of danger. And then he realised he wasn't going to get a proper chance at wooing his little lady. He looked like cr*p. Ach, surely there was time for one last try?Jokad knew what to do. The night before they set off for Magnimar he went around town, calling up his friends. Jovik was dragged from his mother's house with a promise to bring him back before midnight (yeah, right!). Kael was in the Hagfish, getting familiar with a small group of card players (and getting very familiar with their silver coins). He left happily for the promise of a fun night, leaving Mal curled up in front of the fire in his room, with the owner promising to check in on him with a leg of chicken and a bowl of water.Danth was just settling down for a quiet night when he heard the knock at his door. When he opened he saw his three companions before him. With a weary smile he laughed at them "I am guessing that we are not heading for the road early! So, a wild night is it?"It was!-----It was time to leave. Jovik woke early with a bit of a headache, and a huge smile. He had been a very lucky young man last night. No, not with women. He thought of of his elven blooded lady too often for that! But he did eat the most amazing suckling pig, drink seven pints of golden ale, win thirteen silvers at a few hands of pirates, and then the dancing (and yes, he did allow himself a few dances with the pretty lassies, but that was all).Danth woke early too and washed his face in cold water. He took a hearty breakfast in the main room of the inn, and said his farewells. He offered up a prayer in his room as he collected his things, and hoped that if he kept moving like this the hangover may never come.Kael isn't sure what he got up to, and by the gods his head hurts like a fiend has taken up residence. He drank too much, ate too much, danced WAY TOO MUCH, and remembers at one point falling from a table where he had been doing an impromptu jig. That hadn't been the end of his night, but it was pretty much the last thing he can remember.Jokad ... well, Jokad had a fantastic evening - the best in years. But he didn't want to talk about it. He just spent the entire day with a smile on his face.OOC: If you want to buy 'stuff' then as long as it is common then you can get it at standard prices. If you want to get anything weird, let me know.OOC: Please feel free to contribute your own embellishments to the post above about your night. I will do the Magnimar post tomorrow.</blockquote>
