Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC: My wife fell on a wet floor at a recreation center this past weekend and shattered the ulna in her right arm. She is home now, doing better and getting used to having a broken arm.

IC:
While the gathered group discusses whether to track down the Fell now or after resting, the door to the inn opens and a halfling staggers in. She appears battered and road-weary, and has an emaciated look, as if she hasn't eaten in several days. Miri smiles and beckons the newcomer inside, offering her a chair. It is obvious that it has been awhile since Miri has seen a fellow halfling. "I will bring you food and something to drink to warm you," Miri says, disappearing into the kitchen.

OOC: Okay Tailspinner, take it away! I'll let you decide why your character was in the vicinity of Arbordale or what brought her here. Everyone else, I believe you need to decide whether you are waiting until after resting before going after the Fell, or going now or splitting up.

Seraphina (Sera) Anastriana Wogrenspact : Nomadic Halfling Wildlander 4

While the gathered group discusses whether to track down the Fell now or after resting, the door to the inn opens and a halfling staggers in. She appears battered and road-weary, and has an emaciated look, as if she hasn't eaten in several days. Miri smiles and beckons the newcomer inside, offering her a chair. It is obvious that it has been awhile since Miri has seen a fellow halfling. "I will bring you food and something to drink to warm you," Miri says, disappearing into the kitchen.

As she enters and notes all the large people, she is startled at first. But at the sight of a fellow halfling she is quickly set at ease. She walks to the offered chair and collapses into it. As she waits for Miri's return she slowly looks about the room at all of the giants. Not sure what to make of them, she waits for Miri to return, half smiling at the other occupants of the inn.

 

[Mirth]

Looking down at the weary and bonethin halfling, Elidur can't think to do anything but nod his head at her.

Turning to Darius, he whispers in Elven, "Looks like someone else will be needing your healing arts in the morn." Looking at the others, he mutters, "I suppose that makes our decision for us. Let's wait for daybreak and set about our task then." The exhaustion that the Dorn was denying creeps into his bones as he makes his way towards the group's quarters.

Kuknar watches the small one look around the room. When her gaze moves over him, he smiles, careful not to let too many of his jagged teeth show. As the Dorn speaks, he looks oddly at him. Seeing the man get up, Kuknar gets the hint. [Trader's Tongue]"Well, I should guess that we are not to persue our quarry any longer before resting. A shame it is that we cannot end their tyrrany today. It's the ones like this halfling who are constantly starved by the dark ones. And it is the reason that I wish to continue on. But I am no foll and can wait til we have rested before continuing on."[/Trader's Tongue]

 

[Keia]

Darius nodded and mumbled 'good nite' * to Elidur when his companion made his way to his room.

Darius was clearly exhausted by their day . . . and night's events. His skin had an unhealthy cast to it from his exertions of over casting and his eyes were heavy. The brief alertness while eating the warm food and drink kept him awake for a few minutes longer.

He noted the newcomer enter the room and initially looked to his friend Thrarn for his reaction. After Miri spoke and left to get more food and Kuknar spoke, Darius's instincts took over.

He looked to the halfing and spoke, "Greeting, I'm Darius and these are all friends of mine. I am a healer of some ability and could help you if you are in need." *

Darius paused a few moments, then added, "I'm curious what brings you out to the inn so late in the evening and in such weather . . ." *

He left the comment hanging, allowing the halfling to answer if she chose.

The small halfling turns as Darius addresses her.

[Trader's Tongue]"I am Seraphina Anastriana Wogrenspact of the Wogrenspact tribe. I believe that food and drink is all that I need at the moment. Groo-Yek and I are in sear..."[/Trader's Tongue]

She trails off as if remembering something.

[Trader's Tongue]"I will need some food for my companion, Groo-Yek!"[/Trader's Tongue]

She motions towards the door.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Miri brings enough food for Seraphina and Groo-Yek. The food is warm and the drink warms her belly.

After Elidur takes his leave to get some rest, the door to the inn again opens, letting in a swirl of snow, which seems to be falling harder again. A dwarf staggers inside and closes the door, shutting out the worst of the cold wind and snow. He drops into the a chair close to the remains of the fire in the large hearth.

OOC: Okay bkmanis, take it away!

 

[maddmic]

Kuknar looks at the disturbance and watches the dwarf fall into the chair. He studies him carefully to see what clan he is from.

Seraphina (Sera) Anastriana Wogrenspact : Nomadic Halfling Wildlander 4

As Sera finishes her portion, she grabs the remainder and moves to the door. As she opens the door a rush of snow flurries into the room and then the door is closed again. After a few minutes the halfling opens the door again letting in another swirl of snow. She moves over to what remains of the fire to warm herself.
