I suppose that's all you need from me for now?[/sblock]

Pyre looked at the beast, doing his best to look like someone the boar would rather not attack, being made of fire and all.

Meltiz reacts just in time.
"I... I want to cast a spell..." she says, almost as if she was requiring someone else to do that for here. Her eyes glow with a silvery light, and she uttered strange sounding words, like the whistling of the wind in a valley. As the enchantment finishes, she places her hands palm up under her mouth and blows gently, sending a shower of silvery sparks towards the boar.

Initiative 17
Cast Sleep on the square occupied by the Boar
 

Charging Boar

Metliz invokes the spirits to put the boar to sleep, but they're slow to respond and the boar fights off the compulsion in its rage! Tianuien nocks and looses an arrow at the boar, but only grazes the side of its head while it charges Metliz and rams its tusks into her left thigh!

[sblock=OOC]Didn't mean to wait a week between updates, but I had hoped for more than just 2 PC posts since my last update......oh well, hope everyone else rejoins us soon. Dragonwriter's computer is dying or something, so Kaznak may need to be NPC'd for the next month or so.

Rolled a 19 for the boar's Will save, so 21 total, resisting Metliz's Sleep spell.

Tianulien got a 17 Initiative, acting at about the same time as Metliz. She fires an arrow at the boar just before it charges, with a 23 to hit for 2 damage. Le sigh; great rolls up until the damage die. :erm:

The boar avoids Pyre at first, smelling Pyre's natural flames, and charges Metliz! Got a 23 to hit, for 5 damage to Metliz!

Pyre can act now, and Metliz can take her next turn as well.

I'll put up a map next round if necessary, but assume that you have no movement penalties in this area around the camp, but there are trees available for cover within a 5-foot step of your positions. The boar is within 5 feet of Metliz and Pyre.

I'll update again sometime soon. If the expeditionary group wants to do any roleplay in their temporary camp before heading back to the main camp, go ahead. I will likely move things along late tonight, tomorrow, or Monday.[/sblock]
 

Pyre's features would flare as the boar charged Metliz, moving to approach the beast, drawing a javelin and hurling it at the beast.

[sblock=Actions]
Not sure if you want me to do rolls and the like, and not sure where exactly Pyre is, but my intent is to draw a javelin and throw it, moving a step toward the boar, unless I cannot throw it from that distance.[/sblock]
 

Forge treks through the forest with the others as they head back to the main camp. Walking as if in a daze the young man's mind is distracted by the thoughts of finally getting to work once more with fire and earth. He stumbles along but at each misstep he just straightens himself and then keeps moving.

[sblock=OOC] Always around Ark just thought you wanted to get the boar out of the way before you wanted cheese posts from me :p [/sblock]
 


Angrboda occasionally ranges away from the group whenever she sees something that catches her eye. Mostly this would be rock outcroppings which she would study intently or some woodland place that she feels drawn to explore because she thinks she may find some bit of root or flower or something that she has a feeling may be of value for food (or otherwise). She doesn't seem to notice when this slows down the group and she always returns to Jaegar's side to continue the march. For a little while, anyway. Eventually she notices Forge stumbling around and comments on it.

"Forge? Are you well? You're stumbling about like, like..." She hesitates because she feels there should be an ending to her phrase but since her experience is still fresh she isn't quite sure what it should be. She shrugs it off. "Are you well?"
 

"Wha-? No I'm alright Angrboda," Forge replies with a smile. "I'm just thinking, wondering really. Why has all this happened? What will I do if I run out of supplies and can't craft anything? What if the ore you say you have is all there is in the world!? I have this urge this feeling inside to create, to hammer, shape, and I'm not sure what I will do if I couldn't work anymore. Was I made just to walk around with the urge to do something wonderful, or was I created to in turn create?"

The young man walks along with his head alitte higher, maybe finally hearing the questions asked out loud has given him more hope than he had before.

Angrboda is quiet as she contemplates the questions that Forge has asked. Finally she speaks but it is slowly and with the deliberation of thought. "I can't say why we were created. I don't know. But I believe each of us were created with a specific purpose to strive towards. You have to look within yourself to discover that purpose. If you feel compelled to create then I say with surety that it is your purpose to create. I feel driven to build. Build a place for our people to live together in safety. The sooner we begin working towards these goals the better things will be for us, I think."
