[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

OOC:
To Jurgen/Diactum and/or Casper/Wulf:
Please try to give the IC comments a color. That way the rest will know the difference between IC and OOC as well as the difference between thoughts and spoken words. Furthermore it gives your character a certain trade mark.

OOC: Sorry Sullaf for making fun of your English


While the others are setting up camp I go and scout the paramiter. I remark to Deepwinter: I'm gonna scout this place out and when I come back I expect some stew, hehe."

After scouting the area for about an hour I return to camp and I start the discussion about guard duties. "Well Roland, I think it is best if you or Tristan take the first watch for two hours, then I can take the second watch for four hours and you or Tristan can take the third. Since you don't trust me ,Tristan, I don't mind when someone helpes me with my watch but I don't think it will be a problem and this way we don't have to rest long and wait for the wizards to study their spells. What do you think, Roland?"

OOC: I appreciate the way in which this is developing, remarks are way better than in real life DnD, and although our humour isn't really improving, let's not get too serious


Not too happy with our role as convicts I keep to myself and don't flaunt with my powers unless necessary. To get some fun out of this all I engage in conversation with the wizard, discussing the burdens of wizardry and the dillemas of having to study daily and having to spend all that you earn on components and spells.

As long as the warriors keep to "warrioring" and they don't bother me too much with trivial business, I let them lead the party as they want to. I don't openly flaunt with my personal powers, using Animal Affinities and Metaphysical Weapon only when I am either alone or with my friend Ilan. Whenever possible I do use the Telekinetical powers of the staff for instance when cleaning up our campsite...

I'll cook Ilan's stew with a Matter Agitation and will add some ectoplasm to add to the flavour of it all. At the end of each day I'll manifest a Metaphysical Weapon on Ilan's bow and double empowered and extended Animal Affinities to boost my stats, burning up my power points to a 17 point reserve.
 

OOC: Deepwinter manifests Metaphysical weapon on my arrows, since RAV doesn't count damage on bow and my arrows will be magical.
 

Roland walks over to Tristan and speaks to him in "military tongue" "Tristan, you will trust our traveling companions. I order you to. Distrust will only divide us, and will lead to unnecessary issues."

He turns to the rest and in a generals voice he proceeds "We will spread the night over 5 watches so we will all get 8 hours of rest. I myself will take the first watch upon me. Tristan you will be second. As Sir Ilan has volunteered to take a 4 hour watch he will take watch three and four. Wulf is in charge of the last watch. Now we make up camp and try to hunt some game."

After camp has been set up Roland approaches Deepwinter 7 and kindly speaks to him "Don't worry. Nothing can happen to you tonightt. Watches have been set up. No need for fear. Maybe one day you will learn to wield a sword the same way as us." Roland gives Deepwinter 7 a reassuring pad on the back and in a curious voice he asks "Now what is all that talk about your stew... you wouldn't accidently be making any tonight, would you?"

"ME SMASH YOU IF YOU DON'T STOP TALKING THAT WAY my good friend.... Please behave yourself in front of the others. You can do it. I know you can.

Lets hunt some squirrel for dinner"
 

"Well, thank you my friend, I appreciate your concern for me" Deepwinter says with a reassuring smile.

In a more subtle tone he adds "True followers of Heironeous have always caught my interest. Let's not forget that Ilan and I have survived many hardships and although he seems to be a harsh character, there might be more to him than meets the blinking eye. Treat us as friends, honoured guests maybe, and we'll be kind to you. And please do not worry too much about my well-being, I am not as fragile as you might think and in the end I might proof useful to the party. Don't expect me to ever wield a sword, for it's not in line with my chosen profession. In a way I am more akin to your wizard friend, not too powerful in a one-to-one fight, but more resourceful."

"I prefer not to guard, but my enhanced eyesight will give me the benefit over many others. Furthermore I do not need a consecutive eight hour rest, for my powers come to me naturally. Be true to your faith and protect the weak. Do not treat me as a lesser being I am in no need for pity or contempt. We psions take care of our own."
Deepwinter 7 adds and walks away to prepare dinner.

(Maybe it's a good time to get some ranks in the cooking skill)
 

ME SMASH

To you my Elven compaignon; if you say that we can trust you, than I will do so... Take your shifts and in any battle we'll encounter, you should let your bow do the talking for you...

Now let us pray...

Roll them bones ... your dice are

Ie. No random encounters tonight.

You awake at your leisure. If you keep travelling at this pace, you should reach the village of Highloom by nightfall tomorrow.
