X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[kinem]

There is a sliver of moonlight as Girgal and Razor stand their lonely vigil.

After a couple of hours, Ripclaw awakens and seems fine. Girgal tries again to wake the others but can not.

In the morning, the sun rises and Girgal is relieved to see that the others do finally awaken. However, they are cranky and exhausted.

[sblock=Leif, Rhun, Jemal, renau1g]You remember having bad dreams but don't remember the details.[/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]Bevin has the impression that his feeling about the hut having been a witch's lair is somehow correct and that it has something to do with the nightmares. You do not know more details. What you experienced was not the nightmare spell.[/sblock]

[sblock=effects of the night]Bevin, Aram, Nargon, and Rajah are fatigued in the morning. They have a -2 penalty to Str and Dex, and can't run or charge.

Bevin can not prepare his spell today.

Also, these characters have taken Charisma damage: Bevin 1 pt, Aram 2 pts, Nargon 1 pt, Rajah 2 pts.[/sblock]

"Felas, I feel AWFUL! I had nightmares all night long about that bloody witch that lives in the hut!"

 

[Jemal]

"I had bad dreams too, but remember nothing of them. Come, lets be gone from this cursed place as quickly as we can."
Nargon shoves the raft away from the hut (assuming everybody's aboard, right?) without waiting for an answer.

Girgal

"Felas, I feel AWFUL! I had nightmares all night long about that bloody witch that lives in the hut!"

Trying to comfort his companions, that suffered the same fate as him, and knowing his twisted sense of humor, Girgal resonds to Bevin: "And you and the hag did ... stuff?"

ooc: I will pray for restoration spells this morning. spell list follows.

"I had bad dreams too, but remember nothing of them. Come, lets be gone from this cursed place as quickly as we can."
Nargon shoves the raft away from the hut (assuming everybody's aboard, right?) without waiting for an answer.

"Agreed, Nargon, let us be gone quickly!"

Trying to comfort his companions, that suffered the same fate as him, and knowing his twisted sense of humor, Girgal resonds to Bevin: "And you and the hag did ... stuff?"

"Hehehe, very funny, you twisted little halfling!"

 

[renau1g]

"I have a bad feeling about this day, we must be vigilant as I feel as if the swamp itself is closing in upon us. I feel that the effectiveness of my powers will be diminished this day, as if there's some slight barrier preventing me from being as effective as I'd like." Rajah will say as he tries to shake off the effects of the night, with no success.

Rajah will send Razor ahead invisibly to scout for any disturbances or other threats to them.

The swamp here is fairly quiet except for the rustling of weeds in the breeze.

The party pushes on using the poles, heading west away from the morning sun.

The reeds are very thick and tall here. After a short time, maybe a hundred yards out from the hut, you push through a particularly thick stand of reeds. In front of you stands a hut on stilts, of the same kind as the one you just left.

You come up for a closer inspection, and a growing suspicion takes hold of you. It is confirmed when you look inside the hut. The hut is empty except for a layer of dust which has been disturbed recently. The footprints are indentical to the ones you left back in the 'other' hut. You also recognize the knots in the wood. It is clearly the same hut; somehow you are back where you started.

 

[Rhun]

Sorry guys...I ended up going out of town on short notice and was gone the last couple of days. It will take me a bit to catch up, since it looks like there was a lot of posting.

 

[Walking Dad]

Girgal

"Okay, I definately don't like this. The unnatural taint of the surroundings seems to be much stronger than first expected. Perhaps we should try an aerial approach...
Nargon, can you try to fly and scout a way or something? I can come with you in animal shape if you like." Girgal says.

 

[Rhun]

"What is the darkest depths of hell is going on here," asks Aram?
