got it. 10 charges left on the wand still
"Tell me Herr Bourne, What verse were you quoting? perhaps I can aid us all with singing a tune to this poem?"
"Or perhaps we should recite what is important to us. Reciting with conviction may be better. Herr Borne felt strongly about his work, Jan about his singing, that strength of will might be more telling than any particular words."
Ullara rubs the healed wounds across her shoulders, and can still feel a faint pain across her back, though that is more the mind's mischief than anything else. Her flesh, and Bran's is whole again. Part of her feels a resentment to Jan for using his magic so extravagantly, even if it was the magic of another he was just borrowing. She had always prided herself on her healing skill, but her talents had more lain in the realm of the slow path, herbs and technique and time. She salved the blows to her ego by reminding herself that Jan undoubtedly could not diagnose snow fever or make willow bark tea, and time here was more precious than in the slower-paced villages where she usually worked.

Day Four (?), Herr Bourn's Tower, The Reaches of Man (probably)
Herr Bourn looks thown for a moment.
"Umm, ... The Storm Cycle I think. It was all a bit chaotic. But I think the young lady might be correct, it doesn't really matter what you sing, or recite. If you are formally trained in the Bardic arts, as I suspect you might be, I think that it will be more effective than anything a layman can produce."
"So. If we are going to do this ..." and with that he draws his wand and sticks his head through the portal for a moment.
"Well, the manifestations seem to have withdrawn somewhat, and there appears to be a path, of sorts, once more. Now seems as good a time as any."
He steps through the portal and is gone.

"Hmmm, no time like the present. He closes his eyes while he takes a moment to clear his mind. Then he steps through.
[crunchy] he waits a round to clear his mind and lets someone else get ahead of him, like Bayar perhaps, then goes[/crunchy]

Li Thuan, male human monk
As he sees the others prepare to leave, Thuan stands and waits. Once the others have gone through the portal, the monk is the last to step through. Once on the other side he again remains in the back bringing up the rear.

Ullara will put the rest of her things away and grip her staff tightly. In her mind's eye she can already see the pages of her mother's book, and the well-worn words that describe the Solstice cures are already on her lips. Bran leans up against her, and she takes a moment to calm him, letting him know through tone and posture that they were going to have to make another hard push. Then she looks up, and will head out the portal, her staff ready to fend off the throns.
[sblock=OOC]Ullara will be fighting defensively, moving slowly, and reciting forcefully. The magic of the staff gives her a +2 CMD bonus to avoid being tripped. Bran will also be fighting defensively, moving slowly, and being a quadruped. Like he is. Alas he can recite nothing, unless it is barks of warning for those thorns to back off 'cause he means business![/sblock]

Jan will recite a battle hym, with his rapier drawn, fending off the touchy feely branches by fighting defensively.
Bayar examines the hand axe and buckler for serviceability. Satisfied, he spends the period waiting for Herr Borne with both items, cleaning team off the shield and sharpening the axe. He is ready a few minutes before Herr Borne comes downstairs - just long enough to notice he was getting hungry and there was no food.
"Good!"he replies to the observation that things had calmed down somewhat, before calmly stepping through the portal on Herr Borne's heels. No need for weapons yet. I be letting the trees make the first move

Libros steps through the portal with some anticipation. Things look calm but he is paranoid enough to know things are never what they seem.
Libros is not that interested in literature or poetry but he has always been interested in folk tales. So he recites the tail of the Red Robed, female thief and the awakened wolf under his breath.
