Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

[maddmic]

Kuknar wipes his axe blade on the woman and then looks at Jarnath. Pitying the poor man, he doesn't know what to say. As the burnt one begins to cover the woman he looks on with interest. Then the burnt one asks him a question. "Burning might be one way to hopefully keep them from coming back, but it may also bring unwanted people here." He begins to help drag the bodies out of the house. Coming back inside he looks to the others. "Does anybody here know how we can keep them dead for good?"

"Anyone need immediate medical attention? Are we going to see if there are any other fell on the prowl this eve?" Darius asked to the others.

"I think it best that we try to track the origin of these beasts. If we can find where they came from, perhaps we can find out why they came here."

"I think it best that we try to track the origin of these beasts. If we can find where they came from, perhaps we can find out why they came here."

"I agree, we should track them tonight to see where they came from, but what do we do with these bodies and what about Jarnath? We cannot leave him here alone."

 

[Mirth]

Seeing that the situation is under control (and silently thankful to Darius for trying to deal with the grieving Jarnath), Elidur sheathes his blade and helps to drag the bodies of the Fell outside.

When the task is done, he turns to the others and joins in their conversation, [norther]"I've not dealt with these foul creatures before, but my comrades have. From all that they've told me, we need to make the burning of these bodies our top priority. It seems the ashes don't return, only the flesh and the bone."[/norther]

"Once again, I agree that we need to do something with the bodies and burning them sounds like the best thing. Who cares what people are attracted, most know there is something strange going on here anyway. There has to be some lantern oil inside and some dry wood around that we can use.

Jarnath stops screaming and his crying subsides to the occassional shuddering sob. Darius isn't sure whether the cobbler heard him or not when he spoke to him as Jarnath's expression is distant, his eyes unseeing. He slides across the floor and remains sitting, leaning against the wall and looking but not really seeing the blanket covered body of his wife. Darius does note however that the man is definitely not injured.

Outside, the darkness lies heavy across the village. Other lights in other houses can be seen in the distance. No one is out and about on such a cold, dark night and no one has taken an interest at the goings on at Jarnath's house.

The bodies of the Fell are dragged outside. Burning the bodies of the Fell would be fairly easy as a roaring fire is still going in the fireplace.

As the others discuss what to do for the rest of the night, Kuknar shrugs and makes his way to the fireplace. Grabbing a litlog, he makes his way outside. Once he reaches the bodies, he lights anything flamable and then throws the log onto the pile. Returning to the hut, he closes the door behind him. Brushing his hands off he speaks up, [Trader's Tongue]"Well, that part's done. You all figured out what to do next?"[/Trader's Tongue]

Dane Swift

Finally shaking off the shock of fighting such horrible creatures, Dane speaks up, "I suppose we should have a look around and make sure there aren't more of these things areound the village."

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC: Looks like the ideas that have been tossed around are to go out into the village and see if there are any other Fell around and possibly see if it can be determined where they might have come from. Also, concern has been expressed as to what to do with Jarnath (i.e. leave him here, bring him somewhere else, etc.). I don't want to lead you guys around by the nose so I'll wait a bit more before moving things foward. Feel free to discuss here IC what you plan to do. Or you can also use the OOC area to discuss plans if you like.

Aye Dane, let's go hunting. The old man has survived this long, he can do without us for a few more hours
