PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

Jask looks at the papers from the box in Lerissa's hand, an expression of hope on his rugged face, then pulls his attention away from his potential salvation and to the surroundings.

"So, will we set up camp here as you explore the rest of the island? Happy as I am . . . and I find myself quite happy even though we may find nothing in the papers to help . . . we still need to find a way off this island and get to Eleder." He looks to the other castaways. "Come, Aerys. Let's see about getting something a little more comfortable set up. You look like you could use a better place to rest than this meager camp we've got right now."

Aerys is looking more than a little peakéd. She takes a deep breath and nods determinedly, then stands to help Jask establish camp. She looks to be willing herself not to throw up as she works. The aging cleric quickly puts Gelik and Sasha to work as well, despite their grumblings and complaints, before turning back to you. "Perhaps some of you could go foraging for food and fresh water? I can help with that another time, but for now I think I'm needed to keep these ingrates working . . ."

Lerissa

Lerissa willingly hands the papers to Jask. "You will know better what will help free you and your name than I."

She is taken back a bit as the cleric takes such initiative. She catches herself smiling slightly and quickly does something about that as she turns to bend over and pick up a branch near the camp. She moves it only a couple feet but it affords her the opportunity to regain control of her emotions. As she bends drops the branch, she scans the area for any tracks of a possible dinner.

"Right best to gather what we can and then prepare for tonight, in case the ghost captain returns." Leaf says gathering his bow and going off with Lerissa to hunt and forage.

Abraxis does his best to help.

OOC: Aid Another

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The three of you forage and hunt, and eventually find enough food to last you for a day or two. Roots and berries and a small feral pig will make a good stew, and the tropical fruit brought in by Lerissa will stave of scurvy for a while.

[sblock=OOC]You have enough food to feed everyone for a day, and a half day's rations left over.

Lerissa

As Lerissa returns with her treasure (the fruit), she sees Abraxis with Leaf's help has brought real meat to the table and her mouth instantly begins to salivate. She is suddenly a bit embarrassed of her contribution but that feeling quickly subsides as the thought of pork in her mouth completely consumes her thoughts.

She quickly hands the berries to Aerys and asks is she would wash these and Lerissa begins gathering wood for a fire.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

While the hunters were out, Jask - with gentle encouragement for Aerys and not so gentle encouragement for the two slackers - whipped the base camp into shape. Gelik and Sasha are both looking very disgruntled. Aerys is lying on a pallet, her skin pale and a cold sweat on her brow. She's muttering under her breath and moaning, wide eyes staring up into the trees.

The aging cleric meets you at a slight distance from the camp, just out of earshot from the others. "I'm worried about her," he says as he casts a quick glance back at the restless girl. "I've done what I can, but without knowing what's afflicting her I can do little but try to keep her at ease until it passes."

[sblock=OOC]With the swim/trek and exploring the Brine Demon and spending 4 hours provisioning, it's about mid-afternoon now.[/sblock]

"Are there any herbs or such that we might look for? Perhaps we could find something to aid in treating her."

OOC: Didn't you risk life and limb gathering just such a thing on your trek from your first campsite to the beach?

OOC - Crap, I can't remember why we didn't give it to her. Anyone else?
