The Four Lands - The Great North

[Dracomeander]

Finnian looks around at the survivors' camp trying to determine how many there are and what sort of provisions have been found to keep the people going.

He pulls a lute out of his pack and starts circulating among the survivors. He works at lifting the spirits of those around as he mentally notes who has survived and how they are responding to the situation.

The Beach

As Vadric moves from patient to patient he discovers that most are suffering from having water in their lungs and it's after effects. Combined with minor cuts and bruises the patients are in a very weakened state and will take a few days to recover and will need to be kept warm and dry. Anniston follows Vadric and assiste where he can but does not see the elusive young man among the surviors. Bertrand has no luck spotting his seachest. A quick inquiry to his men reveals that most of the chests etc are still aboard the ship. Jaroth meanwhle scans the campsite and become concerned with the lack of shelter and the exposure to the winds blowing in from the sea.

Just as the party settles into their gloomy thoughts, a soft uplifting song can be heard filling the rocky outcropping. Turing, they discover that Finnian has lifted his voice in song and is moving among the survivors. the party is able to account for a total of 9 sailors, three marins who are currently out scouting with Rendee, Bertrands men and 5 passagers of which a total of 7 are sick and need attending. A review of the scavanged supplies reveals that only three chest of food, one of cheese, one of ship's biscuts and one of assorted potted meats are available.

Vadric provides what aid he can to those that are sick and wounded, doing his best to make them comfortable and ensure that they will recover.


Heal +10, taking 10 or 20 as necessary to ensure success. If necessary, he will use Cure Minor Wounds and Cure Light Wounds as well.

OOC: I don't suppose any ship's boats washed ashore?

The Beach

At the completion of his rounds, Vadric is satisfied that with a couple of days rest, providing they are kept warm and dry, the injured will recover enough to move about and be of limited assistance to the party as a whole. Bertrand is once again frustrated as his efforts to spot the ships boat in the darking sky yield no success. In fact with the fading of the sun, the air tempature begins to drop and the air is becoming chilled. The inner part of the outcropping does provide some shelter as the rock walls reflect some of the heat from the fire back into the inner area.

Bertrand

Bertrand pulls an everburning torch from his pouch and turns to his men. "There are still a few things on the beach. Might be some things we can use. Make one more sweep before it gets dark. Perhaps this will help," he says passing over the torch. He lays his bedroll and a winter blanket out to dry and then takes a look at the landmarks and goes over his maps for a bit to try and figure out where they are. If he has no luck he'll wait for the stars to come out and try again.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian pauses in his playing long enough to pull out some spare traveler's outfits and a bedroll and winter blanket out of his pack. He gives these to Vadric to distribute where needed among the survivors as he pulls Vadric aside briefly.

"I can get by with less until we reach civilization again. I've got some protection from the elements and can catch short naps without needing to wrap up. Also, you won't need to include me in any calculations you make on provisions needed. My needs will be met without taking anything from the group's consumables, but it's not something I can make available to others."

Finnian then goes back to circulating among the survivors and raising spirits where needed.

Vadric nods at Finnian. "Come dawn, I will pray to the Light to provide me with the power to summon provisions for these people. I believe I have the power to keep all of us fed and hydrated."

After making the rounds, Anniston says, "I'm going to take a look around. I'll be back in a bit."

Anniston slings his shield across his back and uses his cudgel as a walking stick to make his way around to the other side of the outcropping. He looks around a bit there in the failing light and listens to see if there is anything to notice once he gets away from the noise and light of the fire.

There he will kneel and pray, and call his warhorse. When Augustus arrives, Anniston will joyfully greet his faithful steed and explain that he does not have time to ride today, but soon, he promises. From the warhorse he will retrieve a number of items that will help the castaways: 4-person tent, bedroll, winter blanket, winter clothes, extra pair of boots, extra underclothes, hachet, cooking pot, salt&pepper, tea, 4 eating bowls, large cooking spoon, 4 eating spoons, cooking knife, hunting knife w/sheath, 4 drinking mugs, 50' silk rope, lantern, lamp oil, whetstone, 5 empty small sacks. He packs the gear into one or two of the empty sacks, leaving only the rations, wine, brandy, and courtier clothes in the saddlebags.

Then he will remove his armor and change into the dry underclothes and dry boots. He will clean his armor as best he can, using dry sand to scrub away the remaining wet and muck from the sea. Then he will put the armor back on and change the appearance of the armor to that of pilgrim's robes, as is his custom. Finally, Anniston bids goodbye to Augustus before dismissing his mount and returning to the camp with the sacks full of gear.

Upon his return he will begin handing out the equipment and setting up the tent, "I know it is not much, but ever the Light doth provide."

(OOC: Anniston does not care that much if someone sees him summon his warhorse, but does not wish to make a scene. Of course he will not summon his warhorse if he finds something unexpected behind the outcropping, like a band of hobgoblins lurking, etc...)

Jaroth

Staring out to sea, Jaroth says to Vadric "We need shelter for these men."

To all those assembled, "I recommend we do not split up and explore this area until the morning, though a perimeter guard would be helpful. In the morning, I will provide some detailed information about the area, including the terrain and its threats. It may be possible to retrieve the rest of the chests and food from the ship tomorrow as well. The way may be difficult if the current is strong, but none will drown."
