The Darkness That Comes Before [IC]

We can wait, but if it is something that is controlling her mind, how do we know it will not try for one of us? Alternatively it might be able to damage her before we can remove it if she awakens. The risk is high either way, but i will wait to see what the consensus is before I act.

"I kin wake her," says Mahe. "I've got more than enough healin' fer that. Question is, do we do it here, or elsewhere?"

"Why not here? The longer we wait the greater the likelyhood that something's going to go wrong."

Dara scouts the circle finding quite a few interesting leads. First of course you can tell that many individuals crossed back and forth across the clearing so much so that the area is too trampled to get an accurate estimate of numbers. To the east there are rough tracks for three humanoids, but those dissappear about 20 feet from the clearing. They were heading east south east. To the west there are older tracks, perhaps 3 or 4 days old. There are a large number of individuals all heading towards the clearing. It would be pretty easy to follow the tracks, especially the foot-dragging ones probably created by the zombies.

not sure if you have decided what to do with the leader - cut into her, wake her with healing... also did you want to spend any time deciphering the menhir. only Ian has paid much attention to it. though Mahe no those runes were not there before.

“They were coming from the west, probably three or four days ago. Since then, they have stayed here it seems, this place must have some importance. Well, obviously. There are also some tracks leading to the southeast, but they stop abruptly, I can only guess, that these are from flying creatures like the one we have encountered.”

OOC: Could the humanoid tracks to the E-SE be from some flying creature as we have seen earlier?

Oh, and no, Dara does not want to decipher the runes... she will leave that to the intellectual.

"What did you find?" Taneth asks when Dara joins the others. He seems to be very interested about the leader.

 

[Quirhid]

ooc: I'm not going to post for awhile (maybe a week or so). I'll let you know when I'm back posting. If Erekose would be so kind... Sorry, this came too quickly for me too!

 

[Ghostknight]

Right, so we wait until she wakes up then? Just be ready to act if she tries something - I don't fancy being at the receiving end of any spells! Any of you anygood with ropes and check my handiword?

Gespeth stands up, his knife in hand. Wandering what that thing on her back is and how it will affect her.

Hope that thing doesn't use its mind like Ian does, that would be a real problem, I guess I better position myself to take it out if it does.

So thinking he moves behind the woman, putting his knife by the lump and waiting for her to wake up (or be woken up).

“Right. If you want to ask her any questions, you'll have to keep her alive... for so long, at least. I'll stand ready, in case she tries something.”

ooc: re: the tracks heading e-se could be, though Tir only reported one flying creature and you never saw any more than that.

re: quirhid, np. thanks for letting us know. see you when you get back.

Making sure that the woman in the black armor is tied securely. Mahe moves to heal her while the others stand guard in case she tries to do anything. Mahe draws power from the green around him, casting cure moderate wounds on the woman. The bruise on her cheek softens as do the puncture wounds from his staff. It takes a bit of time for her to come around having taken quite the hit from Dara's sword.

As awareness begins to dawn, she glares straight at Mahe malevolence seeping from her gaze. She struggles against the ropes, but they hold. She spits once at Mahe's face, but misses as he has pulled back by now. Gespeth summons arcane energies to bind her mind and convince her to talk, casting charm person, but as suspected the spell fizzles.

OOC: Hey, you wanted to ask her questions... or are we waiting for Mahe?
