The Four Lands - The Great North

[J. Alexander]

The Cove

As the noon sun breaks thru the clouds and begins to warm the sand the party begins to reorganize itself. Perhaps due to annistoon's healing touch, Jaroth awakes tired but weak. Bertrand and Vorain find no trace of foes on their survey of the rim. Finnian does discover that the book is still safley in the satchel. Midway in the noon hour, just at Rendee calls the group in for lunch, Vadric arrives on the wind. Kellson meanwhile contiues his survey of the area and of the party.

Jaroth

Jaroth tries to sit up, groggy. He looks around at those gathered.

"Oh thank the Light! You are all safe. I- I thought I failed you." Relief and astonishment on his face.

Jaroth looks into his lap, ashamed.

Kellson, noting the absence of menacing dark enemies and a massive magical storm, stands up from his spot, battered and bruised. He slowly moves toward the assembled group of supposed victims of the attack, the keepers of the tent and cove. Although still far off, he supposes these few who fended off the vicious attack would provide better protection, in case those two figures far off proved devious in nature.

The Cove

As Bertrand and Vorain complete their circuit, they observe in the disance, perhaps some 600 yards to the south of what appears a young man moving towards the camp.

For Jaroth
[sblock]Any idea what type of character you are interested in playing in the new campaign?[/sblock]

For Kellson
[sblock]Hey guy interested in playing in the new campaign?[/sblock]

Vorian

OOC: DM, please, it's VORIAN not VORAIN. Is there any sign of Arrwuh?

Vorian carefuly observes the horizont where other two groups went and then bends to look for tracks on the rim? Is there any sign as to what befell those casters? Such as greasy spots where they melted

Nodding to Bertrand, It seems that the storm realy cleaned this up. Is that work of your friend lying there? points to Jaroth.
Let's go and join the others, they could probably use some extra healing. Now you can fill me in in more details.

OOC: Vorian can offer from healing: 3 orisons and one cure medium plus lay on hands, keeping Shield of Faith just in case.

If Arrwuh doesn't join as before Kellson does, Vorian gets up and prepares to ride out. I'll go scout a little bit and try to find any trace of other two groups. Anyone intrested in accompanying me? Later we can ride back to your camp.

The Cove

The hound answers to Vorian call, bounding down from the western rim on to the sand. The scouting missing show no signs but of a large wind swept area some 500 yards in diamater and moving towards the west.

OCC: Your friendly and benevolent dm is a terrible typist and has had his spelling skills ruined by spell check...so guess it is a cross your pc's will have to deal with............

Vorian

Seeing Arrwuh, Vorian goes happily and pats the great hound and plays for a short while. He crouches next to him and holds his snout in his hands. After short time he goes with him back to the group holding the hound by the collar.

[sblock=For DM]
Vorian whispers so not to be overheard by the group all the while patting and stroking hounds head and flanks. He takes some time with his companion and then rejoins the others.
Are you hurt? What did you find out? Did you see the storm too? What was reaction of those you followed?

Everybody, this is Arrwuh. If you don't bother him, he won't bother you. He is generaly friendly, but give him some time to adjust for your presence here.

As Vorian is large for human so is his hound large even for wolfhounds. He is mottled gray in color and has leather colar with small pouch hanging from it.

The Cove

For Vorian
[sblock]The hound discloses that the group he was following road away to the Northwest in some haste, once the strom struck. The group that was circling and coming up from the south was destroyed by several large waves.[/sblock]

Vorian

...goes scouting if he didn't do it before Arrwuh arrived.

I'll go scout for the group that went south. The fact that Arrwuh is here tells me that northern group rode away further toward northwest. I'll be back shortly.

Preparing Delilah, he heads south from their current position.

Stay here boy. Rest, you deserved it.

He returns about half an hour, no more then hour later. If he could find any horses, survivors or equipment he collects them.

It seems souther group was destroyed by severe waves crashing on the shore. Probably as consequence of the storm.

How far is your group from here? Can we make it in one afternoon? Can the boy travel? Or maybe we should rest here and in the morning follow the remaining riders, not giving them too much distance.

"I'm not privy to the ways of magic, but my best guess is that our foes called up the storm and our companion somehow turned it on them, as least for a moment. Obviously, such a course of action was more than he could control." After a sigh he adds, "There is a book of dark magic. It was on the ship we were on. We think that the shipwreak and all this business," he gestures to the devestation around them, "is over this book. Jaroth, the one who tried to tame the winds, says that we most keep the book from falling into the hands of this dark order that has been attacking. At this point our goal is to defend the book." He motions to the tent. "I'll need to get my mount. We shouldn't go too far afield."
