The three leaders of Hommlet are calmly</p><p>debating about the recent events and what they should do. The priest</p><p>is invited to enter and presents his request to Rufus, he would like</p><p>for the group to be allowed to rest and sleep into the keep. Lord</p><p>Rufus accepts without more questions and asks Ezekiel about their</p><p>encounter of the day before. Y'dey apologizes and leave Brune's study</p><p>to see the two injured adventurers. </p><p></p><p>During this time, Alahija was searching for flowers ... do not ask</p><p>why, half-elven maiden are surely addicted to flowers ... after some</p><p>quick questions in town, she decides to go to the nearby druid grove</p><p>where, as she was said, the more beautifull flowers grow. </p><p>Alahija goes to the small hill covered by big beautifull trees which</p><p>is located near the village, towards the north-east. She enters the</p><p>grove without any question and advance up to the glade situated in its</p><p>center. There a huge tree grows and the druid house is built in its</p><p>trunk, a small wooden door is visible in the tree's trunk. Alahija</p><p>calls for someone and, without response, advances to knock at the</p><p>door.

It</p><p>will have to wait until tomorrow, nonetheless Diane and Lywen are now</p><p>awake and able to understand what happened to them. Killashalandilis</p><p>is still here and tries to help them, but Diane sharply pushed her</p><p>away. She was alone to go to the help of Lywen, and she does not want</p><p>any late help ... at least her was able to see that to be alone in the</p><p>moathouse by night was really too dangerous. Sad day for the paladine,</p><p>as if her own sorrow wasn't enough to bear ... </p><p>Quite shocked, Diane asks to Y'dey if she could get a human-sized</p><p>mirror, she just discovered the scars on her body ... and this was hard</p><p>to learn. The canoness thinks a bit and says her that she will send</p><p>her a mirror present at the church as soon as possible (Diane will get</p><p>it in the afternoon ... and burst into tears soon after ...).</p><p></p><p>It is now near midday, they all eat together at the Inn of the Welcome</p><p>Wench (except Diane and Lywen, still resting in the infirmary). They</p><p>all learn that they now have rooms in the keep dungeon, as asked by</p><p>Ezekiel. Killasha stopped her prayers as her friends are now out of</p><p>danger (for their life but perhaps not for their mental health) as</p><p>Y'dey said her.</p><p>After the meal (or even before for Ezekiel and Alahija, who were</p><p>warned before the others) they all quit the Inn to go to the</p><p>keep.

[QUOTE="Selm, post: 87821, member: 1592"] [b]Episode 7-1[/b] Episode SEVEN - Interlude, Verbobonc and Chendl - Part 1 (A Trip in the Astral Plane ...) - Waterday 19th Panting, early night - Elmo had called for the curch of St Cuthbert and Calmer is not long to arrive. When he sees the bodies of Diane and Lywen, he asks Elmo to bring them into an unused room of the keep. This is immediately done and all the friends gathered with Elmo and Calmer into a small room of the barraks, this room was destined to be used as an infirmary and is perfect to accomodate Diane and Lywen.

As always Terjon is Terjon :) It is now night and our adventurers are really tired, they go back to sleep to the Inn. Ezekiel stays at the keep tonight, he sleeps in the barracks.
