(IC - D&D 3.5) Rathan's Problem Down Under

Like much of what Berrek said before, the tireless elemental doesn't recognize or comprehend the meaning of the word "dream" in this context but nods in acknowledgment nonetheless.

Menhir goes about his patrol and the deep of the night soon comes and goes as you all awake once more within the barn no worse for ware.... You are woken by the sun peering through the barn doors and windows yet you hear no birds chirping or anything of the like.... you'd assume they have either migrated away from the storm effected area.. or have all been killed off for what little food sources the area has left to offer... As you begin to pack the farmer brings you fresh drinking water a few loafs of semi stale bread for your mornings meal...

"This be the best I can do my fine hero's.. I wish I could do more but alas this starfall has been so.. so hard on us all" the farmer utters still visibly disappointed in his in-ability to help you all out more than this meager meal...
 

Anton approaches the man and puts a hand on his shoulder, "I appreciate what you have given us, respite in the face of the storm and even more, but we cannot accept your food. In light of what we face we recognize that you and your family and neighbors have faced it already. If you food to spare, bring it to the families that have none. Help support each other as a community. For that is why we are here, facing this danger for you, for our families, for our great community. Have hope, my friend, for it is something a starfall can never take away from you." Anton shakes the man's hand and claps him on the back before moving back to his equipment to stretch out his knee and begin strapping his armor on, saving the royal blue cloak for last.
 

Quickly scribbling on his loft on a piece of paper:
"This is for your hospitality and good heart at such hard times. Please don't be insulted by this token. It is given from heart and where I'm going I won't need it. Preserve the kindness for when we return."

Berrek rolls the parchment around ten gold pieces and sneaks outside to hang or otherwise deliver small package around front door to the house. Not immediately obvious, but not hidden either. Ideal would be on the seat of ?relaxation chair? or hamock.

OOC: ?xxx? I'm not familiar with english term, but I'm thinking one of those chairs you can sit and rock back and forth.
 

Lidia woke half an hour before the sun and started her morning devotions. Recovering her spells in the process. By the time she finished praying, the others were up and about, while the farmer had been and gone.

Having attended to her own spiritual needs, she searched for Shadow. Noticing that he is not in the barn, she uses her link to him to find that he has relieved the farmer of another rat and is eating his breakfast in a corner of the farmer's field.

An healer's work is never done, so Lidia then goes round and checks that all of her patients are healing nicely before donning her own armor and eating some more rations.

By this time shadow has finished is breakfast and is sat on a fence post punning himself. Lidia goes outside and gets him to fly round searching for other humans or some game.
 

Game in this area is scarce to say the least... Shadow would spot possibly two hares and a couple other birds in the area that could count as game really... Everyone's wounds seem to be healing nicely and there is no indication that any of the wounds anyone has suffered are out of the ordinary or not healing correctly...

Berrek you are easily able to slip into the farmers home and place the notes and the contents of the note next to his rocking chair and half under the plate that housed his smoking pipe and pipe tobacco that laid on the stand next to the chair....

Anton the farmer thanks you for your kind words and makes sure to mention that he will tell your story of kindness to the people in the outlaying area.... hopefully this will be enough to bring hope back to the area's populous....

Menhir you see nothing more of the apparition after Berrek settles back into bed.... your patrol goes off without a hitch save for that small hiccup early in the night..... You do notice small tremmors in the earth this morning though and it seems, though far, far off... that it is coming from the direction of the star fall... you can equate them to the feeling of seismic activity from an earthquake but it's nothing on a grand scale at all... in fact you being one with the earth itself are really the only one who can feel it at all....

(If I've forgotten anything anyone wanted to do with spells they didn't have until this morning after resting please either pm me or sblock me to refresh my memory... thanks :))
 

Eltyr wakes last of all, sits up, yawns, and looks around, before taking a tome from his satchel and beginning to read while nibbling on some rations, apparently content there is nothing he needs to see to beyond his own needs for the moment.

OOC: Eltyr is preparing the same spells he has listed on his character sheet.
 

[sblock=Rathan]Berrek looks at others from the loft catching all of them in emanation focusing on various magics.[/sblock]

"Good morning, all. Eltyr, could I ask you small favor? Prepare one extra detect magic today and spend it immediately focusing on your artifact. Tell me what you see."
 

Menhir watches the others as they go about preparing for the day; washing, dressing, eating or preparing spells. For its own part, the earth elemental stands impassively nearby looking off in the direction of the impact crater. Someone observant might notice him tremble lightly from time to time.
 

Having finished all her morning tasks, Lidia collects her gear and prepares to leave, "Right gentlemen. I'm ready when you are. I'll be outside seeing if Shadow can catch us some dinner."

As Lidia move to go outside, she notices Menhir trembling. As she does not recall ever seeing this reaction before she asks in a concerned voice "Menhir. Are you alright? Is anything wrong?"
