The Psionicle, Part VI

[dkoz]

"My feelings are to camp and wait for morning. May I suggest we camp a few hundred feet into the woods? It might provide us with a little cover from prying eyes, of course it would keep our eyes from prying also, but I believe that is an acceptable chance."

[OOC What can Rostrum see of the surround country side? How far does the forest extend away from us?[/OOC]

Nathan rolls out his bedrool, under a tree, and prepares to sleep.

[[ hope nothing hapens anytime soon, 'cuz I've got a convention I'm going to this weekend and won't be able to post at all. ]]

Syld graps the crystal back from Nathan and then heads to look for a shofter looking spot on the ground to get comfortable and start meditating.
"Since we're come to the conclusion we'll be staying here, I'll then Identify this thing before I go to sleep".

Tori'shel shrugs at the halfling.

"Whatever. I'm not in charge here, and I won't pretend to be. I'll go along with whatever the group decides."

Seeing that the others are staying and resting in the area around the carriages, she returns to the second carriage.

"If we are not going to move away from these, I think that I'll sleep in here tonight." She says, closing the sidedoor behind her.

Desimus - As you correctly surmised, Rostrum is unable to see anything through the canopy the trees create. And as far as the forest goes - it is huge. Rostrum was unable to find any edge of it other than the one you are currently on.

---

Animus - you travel about, searching for anything that would be hazardous. You don't see or encounter anything, and you believe that nothing out there, if anything, saw you. You make it back to the rest of the group when the sun is almost ready to set.

---

The sun begins to set. The sky slowly turns from a light blue to a red, which begins to rapidly fade into black.

Once dark falls, the sky becomes full of stars. Both of the moons are visible - the smaller of the two, Millicent, is at three-quarters, and the larger one, Merle, is full.

-----

Other than Animus, I'm assuming that you are all sleeping (other than Syld, who will be identifying the crystal for the next eight hours)? If you are not, or you are going to but are going to do something prior to resting, then post your actions.

Animus will be staying up part of the night with Slyd. While Slyd attempts to identify his rock o' goodness, Animus will find an elevated position (the crotch of a tree would suffice) to sit in while he writes in his journal. He's going to need all of 5-6 hours to try and write down his entire memory. This isn't the first time that he has tried to write it all down...

However, the last time he wrote everything down he forgot to take it with him when he woke up in the morning. Just a little history reference.

Animus will actually go to sleep now (dusk) and have Slyd or anyone else wake him up in about two hours. He will stay up for about six hours and then go to sleep for another two if nobody minds keeping camp for ten hours total.

Four hours of "no-sleep" means he will be fatigued for the last 8 hours of the next day in my homebrew... I don't know how you interpret fatigue, but that's how we deal with it.

Oh, casual listen/spot taking 10 during the night.

"Good night my friends."

Not wanting to sleep under the stars, Desimus will find whatever comfort he can in one of the carriages and will retire for the night. Rostrum is in the carriage with him.

When everybody has gone to sleep, Syld starts muttering to himself.
"Those lazy... people. Bah, can't even make a decent insult because my back hurts so much from sitting on that driver seat the whole journey. No wonder the illithidkin made its attack at so early point of the travel."

 

[Jarval]

Jansson mutters something about keeping watch, but settles down none the less.

"Animus, wake me when you need sleep. It'd be best if we kept guard."

 

[Zhure]

Osius

... falls asleep immediately.
