The group quickly dashes their way through Orussus' streets, cutting quickly through narrow alleys as they follow Hukk. He is numb at first as he moves, but as he remembers the back alleys, he regains some of his usual step. Within ten minutes, he is busy "casting spells" to ward off "shadow spirits" that hide in abandoned houses and drainpipes. Each "spell" takes him only a second or so to cast, as he is obviously rushing through them on the quest to the temple.

The rain is coming down hard, and through your whole travel, you perhaps see three people, each busily running to cover. The wind picks up to a gale, and you can hear distant strikes of lightning coming in from the sea, coming ever closer...

By the time you reach the temple, the "temple moms" rush out to greet you. A young priestess addresses you.

"Thank the mother you're here! The town's under attack by... goblins! They've been attacking houses scattered throughout the city! And there's a whole group of them, down at the docks! Most of the faithful have been out, trying to get the kids off the streets - but that damnable rain is making things hard!"

"You say Tomas is at the docks!? That poor boy! The... the mother told me to allow you access to our scroll library - you'll be needing it!"

She looks at Pendrake, who is still dizzy, and digs through a cupboard, throwing him a potion. "Drink this draught - it will help."

And, of course, it does. Pendrake's poisoning is a thing of the pass (no more Dex penalty!)

Hukk, now grinning and in the spirit of adventure once more, pokes Pendrake in the side and says loudly "I'm going with you! We have to save Tomas!"

OOC: You can each pick two first level scrolls, and one second level scroll (or 3 1st level scrolls). They must be divine spells. And, for the sake of speeding up play, they can be instantly cast, the second you get it.

While you're all still hurt, of course, Solange has a wand that should be able to heal whoever is harmed.

If you don't want scrolls (or can't use them!), you can instead take any single potion, worth up to 150 g.p. in value. Again, the potion must be a divine spell - this is, after all, a temple's store.
 

Aiken will take a potion of cure light.

"We should make hast toward the docks it seems not only the black lillies but also the goblins are hunting poor Thomas."
 

OOC: i have been expericing serions computer troubles. mine won't let me get on the inter net for some wierd reason. i am using one of my roomates right now and will try to stay caught up.

IC: Pendrake's spirits are perked up greatly as the potion's effects are established, however the young Hukk comments gives him great worry.

looking at the temple mom's he asks if they have any armor sized for the young lad. he also takes a cure light potion for himself and then hands one to Hukk explaining what to do in case of injury. it is obvious he fears for the lad's safety, given all that he has endured thus far. "Zat may haf to be used on Tomas as vell, if he ist hurt." he also grabs all of his equipment that he has left here previously, except the food stores ... witch seem to have migrated to the kitchen some how by a pendrake sized and shaped apparition ...

The northerner looks to the others if any have doubts about weather or not Hukk is going and asks if any one thinks they can keep him here cause he sure doesn't think so!

The temple mom looks at Pendrake quizically, as if obviously surprised at the northerner's acceptance. Then, she shakes her head.

"It's just like the fable of St. Weryn and the hydra...."

She numbly starts digging through a chest, and hands Hukk a suit of poorly-made studded leather armour. "A halfling prietess of Mongrel left this here, not long ago. Hopefully it fits. And... ah, here! A large dagger. Don't use it unless you have to, young one."

Hukk throws on the armour and looks at the dagger proudly, and then stands by Pendrake's side. "Show me how to use it?" he whispers, softly.

OOC: Waiting for other plans to surface.
 

While the others are making plans, Pendrake busies himself with hukk adjusting the armor properly and then shows him a defensive stance. he then copies the stance and shows a move repeatint it over and over instructing the young lad to do likewise. afeter a few tries he will correct hukk in how to do the stance again and will watch him do the stance.

"Ist goot fur now. You are to do as moms say...only as last resort."

The northerner looks to the priestess and says, "Donka Frau. I take goot care uf him. He has heart uf gold und courage uf bear."

"I heart we go to red dragon, Ja? come, we go!" he then awaits for the others to get moving.

OOC: Just waiting for a few more posts, from Ceph, Logic, and Solange.


ooc: I apologize for absence. New house + new computer + fastest internet connection I could get = many problems :( I hope I have corrected at least enough to connect to the site on a regular basis now.
