JA's - The Borderland Keep

[Rhun]

Edoryan nods. "That is the way of goblinoids and giants. We'll see if we can't deal them a few sharp checks once we get settled in Rosedown."

 

[J. Alexander]

"Yes it is. Well it is late and we leave early. I bid you all goodnight"

As the party breaks up, Catylina can't stop a look of disappointment flashing across her face, which she quickly suppresses. Its been a long time since she has performed for an audience and she had been looking forward to giving a demonstration of her skills. Oh well, its a long way to Rosedown, there may be an opportunity later.

Wishing the others goodnight, she goes to see how the girls have got on setting up the camp.

Aldin retires without much ado, ready to face his long journey.

Seeing that the captain is retiring before Catylina could give her demonstration, Heinz tells her "We'll take a rain check, then. I'm indeed curious about your unusual style. Nothing wrong with letting the anticipation build a little though."

He bids everyone good night, and goes to check on his men. The camp looks to be in order. The group has established its own watch schedule, and though he doesn't expect any trouble tonight, he offers to join the first watch: it's a good habit to be in, and he could use the time to think things over, as well as to get to know a couple of his men a little better.

Edoryan returns to the camp set up by he and his men, who are still sitting around the fire. Kolthar, the sergeant of the group, is telling war stories to the others; Falald and Alwar were much younger, as was the half-orc Rogthor and Dunain Half-Elven, and less experienced in the ways of battle. Ulleneth the elf was older than Kolthar, but since elves were much slower to reach maturity, he too was less experienced then the sergeant.

The ranger joins his men for a mug of ale and to swap a story or two of his own before retiring to bed, knowing that morning would come all too early.

Tetke continues about his business while the others to go bed, talking to whoever else may remain awake, other than hidden sentries, of course. As the night goes on, he spends some time stargazing, and making other notes in his books, until about two and a half hours before he expects the camp to reawaken, and then he heads back to his tent to get some sleep himself.

 

[J. Alexander]

The night is indeed uneventful but the morning breaks crisp and gold as the tempature appears to have droped to almost freezing. "Tis a late storm I am afraid" Byron says, "Agatha warned us we may be hit with late bad weather..so if you gentlement are ready we leave within the hour.

 

[Kaodi]

Tetke briefly flips through his spellbook, but as he did not empty his mind of any spells the previous day, he does not need to prepare again this morning. He and his men are saddled up and ready to go within good time.

Catylina helps her girls and drivers break camp and get ready for the road. Once everything is packed and all signs of the camp have been removed, she goes to find out the actual travel arrangement; order of wagons, scouting arrangements, etc.
