New Heroes Arise IC

[Jemal]

Upon arriving back at the building, You are accosted by Rocheleen, who says she has urgent news to share with all of you. She has received a message.. Whatever you did down in the 'temple', William couldn't see you.. The instant you crossed the threshold into it, his arcane eyes lost sight of you and couldn't track you.. He saw a door open, then close.. and lock. Later he detected a cave-in, then the rubble being removed.. but he couldn't see any of you, or any other living creature. It would appear that some magic is masking all creatures within the site from his view.

"He also said that the storm is beginning to interfere with his magic.. he was hard to hear, but managed to tell me he was worried that whatever the storm's purpose, it is nearing it's climax.. then he was abruptly cut off." Rocheleen finishes with a worried look, biting her lower lip in a decidedly uncharacteristic manner.

It also seems that the cold weather is having a rather nasty effect on your companions, as all who've stayed above (Save Rocheleen and one of the dogs) are incredibly sick and weak. It looks like the three of you will have to continue by yourself... As you discuss options and Hoegar prepares a meal for yourselves and the sick companions, the dog who's not sick gets up from where it is laying on the floor stares into the rain growling for a minute. Then it stops and cocks its head to the side, and trots out into the rain as if to meet a friend, and you see he's heading towards an approaching figure on horseback.


Beric, as a Druid, you are more attuned to natural forces.. for some time you have been getting bad vibes from this place, and recently came to the realization that it may be the cause of the unatural storm.. upon arriving on the site to investigate, you notice quickly that others are here.. and a dog comes loping out towards you, tail wagging despite the downpour.

Hoegor brews up some tea and heats some stew for the sick. A quiet rage seeths inside him. It has struck down Teeth! and his companions.

And part of him is afraid. Rocheleen's news is troubling. Hoegor had placed little faith in the magicians ability to truely know what was truely happening at under temple, so it matters little to him that it was wrong. But the power to do what Rocheleen has revealed ... that is power to be taken on carefully.

There are only three of us left. But Hoegor knows that he will goe down alone if he has to. He has a promise to keep to Haldamir. But there is little else he can do at this point but keep him, and the others, fed. There is little doubt in Hoegor's mind that what afflicts them comes from below.

***

At Storm's abrupt departure, Hoegor rises to his feet, his spear and shield in hand as he does so. He follows Storm outside, slipping through the door and to one side so as to place him in the shadows of the building wall. His shield is on his arm, but his spear is held point down. Dogs have a better sense of friend and foe than humans, in many cases. But he stands loose and alert, just in case.

Hoegor barks out an angry challenge to the rider once he or she reaches about 30 feet away. Hoegor aches to lash out at something - but he trusts Storms instincts, and holds his peace for now.

"Its a miserable night for travelling. Who are you and where do you go?"

 

[Pyrex]

As the dog approaches, Beric will dismount and slowly approach.
If he remains friendly, he'll walk up and give him a good scratch behind
the ears.

"Who are you then, and where is your master?"

Beric stands up straight, but makes no threatening moves
"I be known as Beric. The trees've been tellin' me that the temple up there be the cause of this evil storm. What might you be knowin about that?"

Jillian Tealeaf : Halfling Rogue 2

Jillian checks Jeremy's, Haldamir's, and Kordrim's equipment. Thinking that he probably won't be needing the items any time soon, she grabs Jeremy's smokestick, tanglefoot bag, and Cat's Grace potion. Next she takes Haldamir's sunrod, smokestick, and Levitate potion because he is too sick to use the items. Finally she acquires Kardrim's alchemist fire, acid flask, and Bull's Strength potion not believing that he is in any shape to use them. She places the items into her own backback for safe keeping.

Otherwise known as the 'looting of the corpses'. Figures it'd be the thief who thinks of it. Allright, good enough, they don't object, though do make it clear that when they beat this sickness they'll be coming down and expect their stuff back.. though Kordrim's weakness is evident as he voices what the three of them are thinking.

Storm seems to like Beric, and is still friendly towards him. (Other than that, I'll let Doghead take over control of him again, just borrowed it to show the guy coming up was a 'good guy'... didn't want Pyrex pumped full of darts and slashed up. )

K, unless you talk to Rocheleen (Or until Thomas's char is ready w/ bground), it's PC RP for now.

Hoegor steps out of the shadows and walks forwards about 10'. He considers the man standing infront of him, whom Storm is allowing to scratch behind her ears.

"I know nothing of what the trees have been telling you.

"But yes, it is possible that the cause of the storm lies within the temple. Well, beneath actually. Come inside, out of the rain. There is hot food and tea."

Asuming that Beric accepts the invitation, Hoegor will take him inside.

 

[Pyrex]

Beric Treespeaker, Drd 2

"Thank you. Some hot tea would be most welcome."

Beric will un-bridle Stormwind so he can graze and then follows Hoegor into the building.

 

[doghead]

Once inside, Hoegor introduces Beric Treespeaker to the others. Dierdre Silvereyes. Jillian Tealeaf. And Rocheleen, our guide. Storm he has already met.

Its hard to miss the forms wrapped in blankets by the fire. Hhoegor notices that the mans eyes drift in that direction as he introduces the others.

"Some of our number have fallen to some form of sickness. If you know anything of healing that could help them, even just to ease their discomfort, it would be appreiciated.

"But first, I promised you some tea."

ooc: I think that our horses are inside the building, given the weather and wolves. Not certain though.

 

[Pyrex]

Beric moves over and spends a minute or so examining each sick party member.

"There be not much I can do for them in this place. Willow bark tea would help ease their suffering though."

Hoegor prepares tea. Its not willow bark unless Beric has some - Hoegor has only the traditional dark tea.

Once everyone has eaten and drunk and been made as comfortable as possible, he goes to his backbag and gathers the items provided by Sir William, three small vials, and sets them down on the floor with a slight *bump*. He turns to Jillian and Dierdre.

"We should redistribute that which Sir William gave us now, as we should leave at first light tomorrow. I have here 2 light healings and an anti toxin."

He looks at Jillian with an easy smile and hard eyes.
