[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 2: Quest for the Lore of Saljara the Many Faceted

OOC: thx Rav


After I studied the sword I look up and say in general: "Does anyone mind if I use the sword. I will put the magical sword that I already own in the treasure pile of this mission. This sword, And I hold up the silvered sword, is elven made and probably also magical. If noone minds I will use it and perhaps compensate you if it is a lot more valuable than mine was."

Tycho dismisses the flames on his sword and puts it in his dagger sized scabbard. He than walks to the elf and says:

My I have a look at it. 'cause a two-handed sword might be more useful in the hands of a strong warrior then in yours my elven friend. I think that you have proven your skills as an archer in such a way that it would be a shame if you where to put down your bow and start fighting on the front line...

By the way, is that bow of yours magical because otherwise I would be able to repair it with a spell...


[Tycho casts a detect magic to find out whether the sword is magic and if the bow is magic]

After discovering the bow is indeed magical: mmm… The bow is beyond my repair. You should go to a pro with that. Consider my bow yours for the time being my friend.

And if there is anyone who needs healing, I should be able to take away the pain for a substantial amount.

I say to Tycho: "Thanx for letting me use your bow. You can study the sword, but is nothing special. It is just an Elven made bastard sword. Silvered and decorated. By the way, seeing another Elf I suddenly remembered something. I have a request for you. You said that you had some news about our Elven bladesinger from his sister. He has fallen in combat, but to ease her loss, maybe you can make a song of his heroic sacrifice. I will tell you what happenned while we walk or have the time. His name will live on. We will talk about it a little later"

Not awating a response I look at each person for a moment and say to Bacter and Wulf: "They have hit you pretty hard, you must be at the end of your powers. We can take some time to rest, for the simple reason that we have no other option. You need some time to regain some of your strenght. Maybe we are lucky and they will leave us alone for some time. But stay alert.

I walk over to Kheldev and pat him on the shoulder. "Nice work, my Dwarven friend. You have proven to be a worthy asset to our little group, Your name will live on in the songs of our bard friend. The song will be heard so much that even your ancestors will hear it."

With that I walk over to Deepwinter. "Another encounter we survived. Are you allright?? " Then I say smiling, I have some ingredients that I bought in the village to make a stew, maybe you can work your magic and make us some. I think that the group can use some grub by now."

Turning to Ilan, but addressing him loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Rest? Maybe some of us have been hit hard or others have depleted much of their resources, but all in all we haven't been in this forest for more than an hour. If we really want to rest the choice is between moving back and out of this haunted place, or to move forward to seek a safe haven within its middle.

I suggest we move on, geographically we must be drawing to the heart of this place. And there is always a light in the shadows."


And then turning around, to address the entire party

"What is it going to be? Move on, move back or wait for your demise here?"
 

My eyes flash with anger for just a second before I reply to Deepwinter quiet: "Or we will find more darkness and even more powerfull adverseries. But please don't listen to the woodsman in a forest. Look at this rabble, the two mages can hardly stand on their feet. If we have another encounter they may not live and we might need their protection to get out of this hellish forest. If we take an hour rest and eat something, I think they will be ready to move again. They could be healed and not looked after further, but I think it is wise to wait here for a bit. I didn't tell you, because I thought we could avoid it by taking a slighty different direction, but I have spotted some weird skeletal tracks. I have no idea what creature they hail from. However from here we must get back on the right path, so we can find our way to the center of this place. You can understand my concern if we change our course again. We may find the creature on our path. Everybody must be ready and well rested before moving on."

Then he turns to Deepwinter 7 and says "Bu'i'ain't me discission tha make. Ya'be deci'n'o'this here matter."
 

Looking at the white-faced mages leaning against each other gasping for breath while answering Kheldev [wild guess, but 5-6 con is not much]

"Your life powers are drained but we cannot do anything about this now. It will require a powerful cleric to restore them. All we can do is mock up our wounds. Fight your tiredness and eat while moving. We do not wish to stay in this forest any longer than necessary. Can you move?

Furthermore some powers with limited duration are still in effect, I have this feeling that it is very beneficial not to wait for them to expire [;)]"


To Ilan in private

"I know what we can face in these woods and my concern is also with the two mages. But we have a mission to complete here. Next time you find a path, pathfinder tell us for it could well have been your little detour that endangered us further"

To the bard and Kheldev

Tycho, can you sing us an enspiring song and perhaps heal the wounds of those wounded? Also I could use some minor healing, for I wish to remain able to use the powers of Reldar's Staff for which I need some power reserve

At the end of this discussion, the wraith who warned you about the trees comes into sight again:

"Please... listen... to me... I am a cleric ... or I was... of Cuthbert. I use all my willpower ... every day... to retain control of my soul... I grow weary... You seem ... powerful... to have survived this long... perhaps... we can help eachother?"

"Please explain yourself further, honorable cleric of Sint Cuthbert. What can we do to help you??"

OOC: soz if I'm stepping on somebody's toes here by replying. Want to move the game along though.

I can show you.... my corpse... it is near... the edge of ... this cursed wood..."
