I'm still here. Busy and frazzled as all heck. Game's not on hold, just slow. It takes a lot more time and thought to update this than a game I'm playing as a PC, which is why you see me updating those more. Not an excuse, just an explanation. Anyway, I promise I'll get an update today if I have to chain myself to the desk.

Enko nods in response to Artimisia and holds the piece of meat close to the creature. "H-hey. Can you here me? I've got some breakfast for you..."
The smell of food in close proximity seems to awaken the creature, which reacts to its plight with pitiful whimpers - about all it can do at the moment. Still, when Enko offers it a strip of meat, only his youthful reflexes keep him from losing fingers to the creature's sharp teeth. It eats noisily, glaring around it as much as it can with its limited mobility.

Artemisia crouches beside Enko as he carefully hand-feeds the thing and says softly, "You need to decide what to do with this thing, Enko. We're leaving soon. I won't argue if you want to keep it for whatever reason, but if you do, you need to figure out some way of moving it without hurting it even more than it already is, and I don't think any of the others is going to offer to help you carry it." She pauses momentarily, then speaks even softer, so that only Enko and the creature can hear.
[sblock=Enko]"Just be careful, Enko. You're special, and I would hate to see you hurt - physically or spiritually."[/sblock]
As soon as she finishes speaking, she moves away, not giving Enko a chance to respond, and heads off to talk to Thane and Ryon. "We don't need to hunt today, but after last night I think it's probably a good idea if we keep up our scouting . I suggest we rotate the duty every day, with two scouting - one in front, one behind the party - and one leading the rest of the group. Ryon and Thane, you two scouted and hunted yesterday; who wants to play guide today?"
 

Enko is left blushing and staring after Artimisia as she walks away; barely remembering to keep his fingers away from the creature's mouth. "Ah, uh... Hey, stop that. I can't keep feeding you if you bite off my hand." He looks down at the little creature, watching it carefully to make sure it doesn't choke.

OOC: So it's mouth works, do it's arms work?

I guess we don't have time for the ritual but for the future do I have everything I'd need for it?
 

"Growl and I will take the rear again, if it's all the same to you." says Ryon.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Zurai, was Ryon able to find the 2 arrows he shot last night, and are either re-usable? Just seeing if i cross them out or not.[/SBLOCK]
 

[sblock=OOC]Enko: It's paralyzed from the neck down. It has limited mobility with the neck and nothing below that.

Ryon: For simplicity's sake, we'll do this: Any arrow that hits its target, breaks, but you can recover the arrowheads if you have a little time. 50% (round up) of arrows that miss are recoverable if you have time after the fight to look for them.[/sblock]
