IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[o3caudata]

[sblock=Dichotomy]Alexis had a CLW and 3 cantrips I believe. When she's done at the chuch she heals herself with those before she sleeps.[/sblock]

[sblock=Di and michael_noah]Alexis awakes feeling much better than she had the previous day. She immediately sets out to find Boldak...... "Boldak, you look horrible." A slight smile crosses her face and she forces a tiny laugh. "I can help with that if you'll let me."[sblock=ooc]Assuming he's willing, Alexis heals Boldak as necessary.[/sblock] While healing him Alexis tenatively asks "Have you seen any sign of Trenton or the other jackass from yesterday? I may have been overly rude."[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

[SBLOCK=Di&O3]"I certainly won't push you away," replies Boldak while a slightly inappropriate leer sneaks onto its face.

Afterward he continues in a much more serious tone, "Thank you, there, Alexis. I still can't believe how those things could tear into us... But I feel much much better now."

Boldak turns and spits at the mention of the fellow from last night before stating, "I haven't seen our self deprecating friend. I imagine that someone at the Dog might know where he's been staying. I hope we can convince him to accompany us again. As for the other one, I don't know what could be considered rude after his threats." The dwarf stops to think for a moment then questions Alexis, "You will come investigate further with me, won't you?"[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=MNW & o3][sblock=OOC]Boldak got 1 hp from rest, and 8 (7+1, good roll) from a single CLW cast by Alexis, so he's all better. It's also obvious that with her spells left and rest from last night, Alexis is also fully healed.[/sblock][/sblock]

[SBLOCK=DI & TI]"I guess we're alone." Replies Trenton, realizing that the others have left the crowded tavern.
"We did try to fight off the swarm, but the only thing that seemed to work was fire, and that only worked with limited effect. I assume that if you got big enough fire, you could kill them. It would have to be much bigger than just a torch or broken lantern. Are you able to create such a fire?" Says Trenton as he starts the first of many ales and questions that he'll probably have blurry memories of in the morning.
[SBLOCK=OOC]I continue to ask questions about Breth and his history. I will also answer questions more liberally, the more I drink, leaving few questions unanswered.[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

 

[o3caudata]

[sblock=Di and michael_noah]Alexis appears entirely delighted with herself after healing Boldak.

"I most certainly do intend to continue with you. Though I only knew Nav a short while, he was my friend, and there would be little sense in running from his death. There's something to be had on this path, i'm not sure what, but i'm sure there is something."

Alexis rocks uneasily.

"Lets go find our runaway friend and see how he feels about continuing on with us. Perhaps he found out why that idiot was harrasing us so pigheadedly last night."[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

[sblock=guesswho]"That's as good a plan as any, there. Lead the way."[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=not you...]"I tend to carry fire when I can, but I also have a few other means of production. I wonder if other elements could harm them? It might be worth looking into..."

As the ale pours, Breth also finds himself more talkative.

"As for me I'm from far far away. I spent the last number of months wandering from town to town searching for something, but I wasn't quite sure what. I experimented with a spell that I wasn't quite sure what the result would be, when an unresistable urge to start traveling overtook me. I left my family and friends to search for...something... I wasn't even sure what I was searching for. I am starting to think that it was Shavora. I don't know how that works, and I am starting to worry about the coincidence that I came to town the same day as her master died. I hope that this IS just a coincidence and not the result of some cruel fate or fickle god.

"Either way what can be retrieved of Nav should be, and his belongings should be passed onto any kin that exists. How long until you think you're in shape to take on this swarm again?"

[sblock=ooc]Breth drinks with Trenton late into the night asking for information about his life and sharing stories of his own travels. At some point he asks about places to sleep and will likely end up at the Flophouse, after securing another meeting time and place for avenging (or making plans to avenge) Nav.[/sblock][/sblock]

 

[worthley]

[SBLOCK=D.I. and the Other Guy]"I am quite hurt. I will need some special attention to my wounds. This might take several days. If I could get the care of a healer, I might be ready in a day or two." Says Trenton as he starts to wonder why he can see the bottom of his mug.
[SBLOCK=ooc]Trenton will go over that he doesn't know anything other than fire that hurts the swarm. Will eventually guide Breth to the inn he wishes to stay at, even though it won't be the most direct path, and stay the night there also. Trenton will share stories of learning different languages from working with the seasonal harm hands, how he was sold as a young child to the farmer with no memory of a biological family and fending the farm's livestock from foxes, wolves, and the occasional unskilled theif.[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

Day 3

[sblock=Ti & worthley]After drinking and talking the night away, you both manage to make it back to the flophouse, where Breth obtains what amounts to a room in the nasty place. The night passes uneventfully for you both.[/sblock][sblock=MNW, o3, worthley]With a bit of a hangover, Trenton finds himself waking to the sound of Alexis and Boldak making entry into his room. (It is general custom to not knock in the flophouse. Not only is there a real fear that one might knock the door off its hinges, but one is always careful to not make enough noise to wake anyone other than the intended target in a place such as this.) In addition to the obvious effects of too much drinking, Trenton is still covered with his wounds from the day before.[sblock=OOC]Trenton recovered one hitpoint from "rest."[/sblock][/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

[SBLOCK=everyone except TI?]Boldak greets Trenton with a shouted whisper, as much as such is possible, "What did that fool tell you!?"[/sblock]
