"Morning..." Illyana looks around. Yes, Lyra, Grendahl and the blonde guy
Siri knew is still here. "So it was not a dream", she whispers. She looks
at Astran and smiles. Then she jumps out of her bedroll. Her hair is a
tangled web of golden curls, but her energylevel is once more high. "Lyra,
it is so good to see you - and you too, Grendahl - again!" She spins the
elven scout around and laughs happily. "And you've made a friend. Now all
we need is a way out of here..."
She sits down beside Astran and gratefully accept a bit of food. But for
each bite she stops to smile at Astran. It is as if they are in a world of
their own. As if they have been for quite a while, actually. Sometimes she
reaches out to touch him as if to check that he is real and then just looks
at him when he looks at her, forgetting where they are, that they are not
alone and their current situation. Consciously pushing all thoughts of
Horrors away...
Then, with visible selfcontrol exerted, Illyana turns towards Andre, who
seems to be making ready to leave. "Hello. I'm called Illyana Sworddancer.
I'm a friend of your.... ehm... eh... Siri", she corrects herself. "What is
this about leaving? I mean.... if what I heard last night was not just a
dream, then... well, your father does not sound like a pleasant type, but
if you were able to find Siri, then I guess he will be just as able. Or
perhaps he will just be following you - or wait for you when you get out.
So... I'm just thinking that you might be better off staying with us." A
huge smile and happy greenishblue eyes try to persuade him.
*** I've just arrived back home. Eager to get back into the game :) Hope
everybody had a great Christmas. ***
*** Illyana will want to spend one of her recoverytests right after waking
up. ***
*** Sign seen in dungeon under Parlainth: Windling Elementalist wanted -
must have Heat Food!!! ***

Subject: [Parlainth] PBeM 1.2 Morning Comes Even in Dark Places
Siri and Andre spend quite a bit of time talking with one another. Andre
offers to take up watch with Siri for part of the night, but not without
having shown some of his maps to Lyra first. He shows her of the paths that
he took to get to Parlainth, with each map showing the rolling hills and
trees that surround each notable area. Needless to say, his maps are just
as impressive as Lyra's are. Lyra spends a good portion of the night
looking at his maps, but eventually gives into the tiredness that she
feels.
As for Andre and Siri, the time passes as they talk and before they know it
half the night has already passed by the time they finally realize how
tired they really are. "Go to sleep Siri. You need it," he says. With that,
T'sunami and Nightwind are awaken for the second shift, followed by
Endok-Tuk and Grendahl.
Those that take watch through the night notice how restless Astran seems to
be, tossing and turning through the night, sweating a little bit at times.
It is never really enough to leave one terribly worried, especially since
no one has really seen him sleep before anyway. His new bedmate that is
more or less laying on Astran than her part of the bedroll seems to
naturally put her arm around him and caress his head through the night. She
seems dead asleep, but at the same time takes an automatic response during
the night to calm the young wizard.
Morning comes, and most of you feel pretty well rested. Those that need it
make their recovery tests. Upon being asked if he will stay, Andre replies,
"I would be more than willing to help. It is up to Siri. I believe she
wishes me not to, and I understand her reasons. Whatever you wish Siri, I
will do. But I do realize that I cannot very well get out of here on my
own, so I will definitely stay with you all until we get out."
Lyra, Grendahl, and Andre lead you all to the place where they fell down
from. You can see that the hole goes up about 20 feet high from the
ceiling. Approximately 15 feet up is the rope that Lyra, Grendahl, and
Andre all used to get down. It would most likely take a bit of effort to be
able to get up to it. Where the ceiling splits, about 10 feet high, the 5
feet up to the rope could possibly be climbed up to against the rocky edges
of the wall. A troll who could climb well could do it, or could possibly
hold a person up to get the rope and climb up.
As you sit and ponder your options, you can hear sounds from somewhere in
the catacombs. Multiple footsteps, as it would seem. You could try to use
the hole, or seek an alternate route. There are still unexplored rooms and
corridors; but then again.there are also still unexplored sounds.
<Moves please>
<Sorry about the delay in this week's post. I know I said I was going to
probably be able to get this one out Tuesday or Wednesday, but I didn't
have any clients who were in trouble, which means I had to do regular line
staff duties, which means I didn't have the 6 free hours I normally do to
work on the post. I thought that after X-Mas it would be different, but it
wasn't, until today. So, because of this, I am thinking that I could
probably do a mid post to make up, or we could just skip the missed GM post
altogether and get back on schedule. If I have enough to go on, a mid post
will work out for me. I still need to work up an updated map, which I will
try to do asap.
As far as recoveries go, I did recovery tests for the last night and will
post the change to the website. If you wish to use any recovery tests for
this next day, let me know. You can use up to your max amount for the day.
The only ones that really need it, though, are Illyana and Astran. Everyone
else is free from damage except for Grendahl and Lyra who have 4 damage
each. Illyana has 14 and Astran has 19 upon waking up. >
