Ogrin hands a bluish potion to Razh (CMW), then takes out two others that are a lighter shade of blue, handing one to Talbin and taking one himself (CLWs)

"Everyone set? If so, no need to wait around for the orcs to reappear! " says Ogrin and starts leading his horse out from the stables.

As they're on their way, he'll offer his horse to the young, the infirm and the wounded when they get too tired, but occasionally will use it to ride a few hundred yards ahead to scout.

OOC: Ogrin heals 6 points. Talbin & Razh, roll your own healing rolls.

"Aye, thanks mate, Ah'll be needin' more o' that at the rate we're goin'... 'old on a minute... righ'." He removes a vial from the belt across his chest, the same color of the potion that Ogrin handed him. The dwarf consumes both potions. After Ogrin's potion, he shivers, and the huge gash in his shoulder from the minotaur closes up. (17 damage healed) After he drinks his own potion, he sighs, but is disappointed to see only a few scratches mended. (7 damage healed) He has another one of his own, with similar results. (8 damage healed) "Hmph. Ah guess these things go bad," he grumbles as he stares at the empty vials. He puts his own vials back in his chest-belt and offers Ogrin's empty vial back. If he doesn't want it, Rasereit shrugs and puts it into one of his many pockets.

3 CMW potions consumed.
Rasereit now has 1 CMW potion and 2 CLW potions on his chest-belt.
Current HP: 16+17+7+8=48/61

"Aye, am nah. Let's off." Rasereit mounts his as-yet-unnamed mare and patrols around the front of the group as they travel.

"I miss Eusebius and his happy stick - much better than potions. We'll need a cleric or one of these healing wands if we continue running into orcs."

Nodis creates his astral servants at this moment (as detailed in the previous post). The two of them will help increasing the pace by carrying those who cannot move quickly, or else helping with the loads.
 

Talbin declines Ogrin's offer: "No thanks Ogrin, i got some myself too. A preistly magic user would be handy indeed. These potions are sure to run out sooner or later."

Talbin drinks a potion with wich all of his injuries heal.

ooc: drank potion CLW for 5 hitpoints
 

The ungainly caravan sets forth. The villagers seem to have no end of things they'd like to bring, from chickens, to sheep, to cats, to barrels of ale, to silver plates, and extra boots. They load up the wagons and the constructs with as much as the party allows, and everyone heads out. The three soldiers are armed in studded leather, with longswords, bucklers, crossbows, and quivers of bolts. Some of the villagers also carry weapons.

The land here is good. The grass is green and thick. Groves of fruit trees intersperce with fields of grain, and grazing land for animals. The villagers pick up straggling animals as you go. A cow is found which could give good milk, but walks slower than even the old men and children.

Occasional riders are spotted, but they do not close. They seem likely to be hostile. Several farmhouses and barns are seen. Some are burned, some are not. At one point, a family emerges from a grove of trees to join your caravan, speaking of orc raiders emerging from the night to burn and pillage.

By evening, the group has made fair progress. The group could camp in a barn, or a grove of trees.
 

"I think we should avoid the barn - farms will attract raiders. We'll be better hidden among the trees, and I can create tents and such." says Nodis.
 

"Aye, second that. Barns can burn down around us, and we're easily trapped. Woods are less defensible, but we kin get away fast in a pinch. In case that 'appens, maybe we ought t'set up a meeting place nearby." Rasereit looks around for a nearby hill or something to hide near if the camp is attacked and forced to scatter.
 

Talbin chips in: "Yeah, i'd rather stay in the woods as well. Sleeping in the barn may be more comfortable but we wouldn't see anyone sneaking up at us"
