The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[Velmont]

ooc:
from the reading of the spell, the lesser restoration looks like it only takes care of the damage already caused by the poison. Doesn't look like it actually gets rid of said poison.... That would be the neutralize poison's job right?

OOC: Yeap, and that's why Sielwoodan suggested to cure the poison before healing the poison damage. If there is still some poison, the damage done by the remaining poison may neutralize the spell...

 

[Majin]

Sielwoodan learns that the poison, for the most part, has purged itself out of the elf's body, no further damage can be done.

After Ayden's treatment, the color quickly starts to return to the Mellorn's face, and he slowly brings himself to stand under his own power, teetering a bit before fully regaining his balance but in much better shape. The Mellorn's scarf having come loose, a reluctant smile can be seen, at Teleri's fussing over him, but quickly covered as the elf replaces his scarf over his face.

"I must thank you... for saving my life. They attacked me as I was patrolling the road, for festival traffic. I cannot remember how long it's been," the elf stares, through the canopy overhead at the sun, shaking his head at the futility of the action.

 

[hippocrachus]

"Is it common for you to patrol alone, friend?" Calenthang asks with concern, considering such a thing brainless, made worse by the knowledge of the danger in the forest.

 

[Dhes]

“So the spiders attacked you on the road? Or was there some reason for you to enter into the forest?”

 

[Majin]

"We usually do not patrol so far from Mellorel. It is because of the festival that pushes us out this far and spreads us thin. I was attacked along the road, but the last thing I remember was being bonded by their webs and being dragged deeper into the trees, so they could devour me in peace it seems..." the guard shudders.

He shakes his head, as if washing the thought from his head. "I am Gharlef, and again I offer thanks for the rescue. But I think it wise that we start heading for town, before more spiders return."

 

[Dhes]

“Wise thinking my good man, I myself have no love for the wilderness and the faster we get there the happier I will be.”
“Will you be able to walk? If not I’m sure the merchant we are escorting will be happy enough to give you a ride.”

 

[kirinke]

Teleri grins lightly, her humor restored as the situation goes from nasty to slightly dangerous. "I for one have no desire to become a spider's dinner," she said, cleaning the spider-goo from her sword before sliding it back into the sword-sheath.

"Let's get out of here," she said as she carefully wrapped her potion-bottles before stowing them into her saddle-pack.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang looks at Dunstand with an impersonal hurt expression at his admittance of his dislike for the forest. He offers Gharlef a raised hand, palm-outward.
"I am Calenthang," he says somberly, searching the Mellorn's eyes for any signs of recognition. He then waits for the party to continue moving on.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Yes. I'm Drogo Hornblower. Many of us here do love the wilderness. We're heading for your festival ourselves. Perhaps you'll accompany us."

 

[Majin]

Gharlef nods at those that give their name, his demeanor seeming to have changed quickly to a more reserved air. "I will be able to walk with no help. I feel the strength beginning to return to my legs already. But yes, let us get on to the city."
