Viridian Plague--Act I: A Glimmer of Darkness

[Erekose13]

The next day, Obscurity still looks weary, her face more haggard than normal. She is not hungry and refuses breakfast. "Shall we move on?" she says, her voice tired.

M'ress HP: 52/74 (54 max)

"Please . . . let's," M'ress offered. She spared a parting glance back to the children's bodies - no that wasn't right . . . they were dead and that which was left behind didn't matter. What mattered was solving this so no other children would be affected that way.

M'ress took point and followed Trayah's guidance as to the location of their contact, keeping a solid pace. The speed amulets were re-distributed to offer increased speed for those that needed it.

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

*Trayah stands silently as the others begin to move, offering a whispered entreaty to the local spirits to guide the children’s spirits in their journey, before trailing the party as they head onward.*

 

[Bront]

Whinoah rises and stretches, "You ready to go Pleione?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Just making sure--I've seen glances and I know Trayah saw them from afar, and also there was mention of M'ress thinking about giving them proper funeral rites, but nobody actually handled or inspected the remains, right? Also, are they all ready to go?)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: I think you’ll find Trayah went over to the bodies in post #388 for a closer look, but since there was no response to the action he wandered back to where he was watching from earlier in post #393.

OOC: M'ress made mention of proper burial rites for the feldori here, but I didn't get any feedback so I dropped it (M'ress wouldn't have, but I did thinking that I wasn't going to get any info.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Typical burial rites for a child would involve placing the body in a position of complete shade and adorning it with pure water and an herb-laden necklace to aid the young spirit's transition into the Spirit World)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: So was there a reason for asking about inspecting the remains, as Trayah did go and look as I mentioned above?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Well, I suppose it might have been of note--I forgot about Trayah's looking over because those posts were during finals and everything was a blur, but at the time I remembered it and made appropriate checks for a 'closer look' )
