[LPF] Rescue at Boar's Ridge

[hemera]

Enjoying the bounty that Galandra had brought down, and that Lem had expertly prepared, Reianne leans back a bit as Lem explains the physical and metaphysical benefits of food in maintaining personal balance, not quite understanding everything but nodding along. "Well Lem, your cooking was greatly appreciated by everyone here. I'd say our bodies were treated quite well." Reianne smiled and looked over to Galandra "And of course we have you to thank for the turkey in the first place. Great shooting!"

Reianne sits for a moment thinking near the fire, as Dolgrin and Mesem discuss the watch before she snaps her fingers. "I know I don't have the cooking skills of Lem here, or Galandra's hunting ability, but I can try and entertain you at least. How about "The Knight of the White Rose"? I'll try to not be too loud since we're outdoors and you never know who is around and all."

[sblock=ooc]Ack. Looks like a lot of late night activity on this thread. [/sblock]

As the others set to cooking and discussions of balance, Ru quietly surveys the campsite. He clears a bit of nearby brush that seems a bit too close for his liking, and surveys the layout, arms akimbo and biting his lip.

"Bedrolls here," he offers, pointing. "Should give us the most chance to grab our gear if we have to get up quick."

He's finally satisfied with his preparations around the time dinner's ready. He sets to eating the turkey with relish, eating quickly but cleanly, and careful to throw the remains to the fire rather than leave meat to attract animals.

He appears to have little to offer on the subject of balance other than the occasional smirk at some internal joke he chooses not to share. And, eventually, as talk winds down and watchers begin to ready themselves, he moves to lie down until it's his turn. He sets his twin blades in easy reach and chooses not to remove his armor.

[sblock=ooc]At least, I believe you can sleep in light armor without suffering fatigue the next day. Let me know if that's not the case. [/sblock]

As Galandra gave Lem the wild turkey, her face started to turn red at Messem's words. "I'm not a mistress..." she mumbles, looking away from him, not really sure what he meant by that.

Mesem looks on blankly for a moment, as if he doesn't understand Galandra's reaction. Spreading his hands as if to show he has no ulterior motive, he says, "Mist- I mean, Lady Galandra, I meant nothing by the use of that title. It was simply that - a title. But I will avoid using it in the future if it displeases you." He frowns slightly, as if he's a little confused by the inadvertent offense.

"Bedrolls here," he offers, pointing. "Should give us the most chance to grab our gear if we have to get up quick."

"Well that sounds good. I'm going to turn in then." Reianne leaves her sword and buckler in easy reach, and tries semi successfully to make herself as comfortable as she can in her bedroll in her armor.

[sblock=ooc]Had to look it up, as I didn't remember either. Goddess bless whomever maintains the pfsrd.

From the Endurance feat: A character without this feat who sleeps in medium or heavier armor is fatigued the next day. [/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

As you tie up the horses, eat you meal, listen to a song and prepare for the night, the horses get ancy. Something is bothering them as time goes on. Finally Lem and Galandra clue in as to what it is at the same time. The horses and ponies want their food and water too.

Ru has pointed out a decent spot as to where to put the bedrolls for the night. Slight trouble is, he did not bring one of his own. When you take the time to figure out all the supplies you have brought, you find only five bedrolls.
[sblock=ooc]Slight pause to see if you are going to share. There is no tent either. At least Ru had a flint and steel so you didn't have to roll to get the camp fire started. When I gave you extra money to shop, I said I was going to be a stickler about these things.

And Yes, you can sleep in light armor without penalties.[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

"Thanks for the meal" Menik tells Galandra and Lem.

"We need to keep watch anyway. When you finish your watch, you can borrow your bedroll from the next shift, if need be."

 

[Qik]

Mesem frowns when he sees that not all of his comrades have carried bedrolls. "Someone may take a turn in mine during my period of watch," he says, the unspoken implication being that he will keep his bedroll to himself when it is his turn to sleep.

[sblock=OOC]Didn't even think to buy a tent; this is the first time I've ever been in need of one. Live and learn, I guess... [/sblock]

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem enjoys listening to Reianne's "The Knight of the White Rose", before getting up and helping take care of the horses. He brought his own small bedroll, "If someone can fit in mine, they can also use it while I'm on guard duty."

Ru shrugs.

"It's not a real issue, folks," Ru says without concern. "Trust me, I grew up sleeping in far worse conditions than an even patch of ground.

"But let's get the horses taken care of before they natter at us all night," he says, changing the subject. He shifts the lot of them to the thickest area of grass on which they might graze, then looks for a watering hole as they're kept busy.

"Gotta imagine this wouldn't be such a popular campsite without at least a stream nearby. Galadra, you know the wood better than the rest of us, probably. Help me find it?"

[sblock=ooc]The bedroll, at least, wasn't an oversight on my part. So far as I'm aware, there are no mechanical penalties for sleeping without a bedroll. Ru was raised as part of the poorest, shunned caste in Rhat'matanis. He literally slept in garbage at times. Given that, sleeping on the ground would be something he wouldn't think twice about. In fact, I think it's more than in keeping with his character to say he thinks it's foolish to overtax himself carrying around what his upbringing would see as a portable luxury.

Mind you, his background also makes him a fine opportunist, so he's not going to say no to the people offering; he's just not going to put his life in danger (i.e. reduce his mobility and stealth skills, some of his most important assets) for it.

On the matter of horses, I honestly assumed setting animals to graze was a given part of setting up camp. If you're saying we needed to have purchased feed for them, that's a new one on me. We might need Lem to do another herbalist check to find something suitable.

Looks like no one has a bucket, but as I had Ru say IC, it wouldn't make much sense for this to be a popular campsite without a nearby water supply.[/sblock]

 

[hemera]

"Well I think I'm on the last watch shift, so someone can use my bed." Reianne laughs, "It'll be prewarmed for whomever wants it. A bit better than the ground I'd wager." Reianne watches as Lem and Ru take care of the horses, from where the bedrolls are setup, content to sit back until called upon.
