The Pyre — Empty Chamber "Looks like smoke, smells like smoke." Lars answered Neskas' question as plainly as he could, having no real answer beyond what he's currently saying. "Billowed out from inside when I opened the door."   "Sounds to me like the lot of you have enough mouths arguing about what to do and not enough hands doing them." As the rogue turned toward Kaichar, the snide remarks continued, "You want to camp here, she wants to go back to Sandpoint, this guy wants to hole up with Roldare, the other broad wants to camp outside. How about one of you pick one already, and the others shut your yapping mouths. How about that for a change?"   The Pyre — Entry Hall   With some difficulty, the three women manage to rein in the two horses, and lead them inside to the entry hall. Still unsettled, the pair of equines clack their hooves slightly on the stone floor.   Outside, another crack of thunder rumbles across the coast, followed swiftly by the sound of heavy rainfall, the droplets of lukewarm rain being whipped inside into the immediate vicinity of the doors by gusts of wind.     [[ Map — The Pyre ]]

   Kaichar "Hey!" Kaichar doesn't quite shout. "You haven't had enough danger?" He looks around at the group. "We've gotta camp here, especially with the storm rolling in." He frowns. "Let's try and avoid spooking the horses huh?. A stampede won't travel far, but once it's over, you'll wish you were dead."  Mechanics    

Neskas Weengoditin Neskas moves over to Lars so he can do his job of shielding the others if needed. "What was that?

She knows enough about horses that there's always one that's the leader (well, after the humans), and if she can get that one to come in, the rest will follow normally. "Easy boy," she said to the horse in elvish, while approaching clearly visible and patting it on the neck, "Don't worry, it's just a little storm. Come, let's get you inside.   OOC      

The Pyre — Empty Chamber Decidedly staying out of the incessant bickering about what their next course of action should be, Lars moves to the door on the southern side of the room after tossing the little packet of rations at the wizardess.   After a little bit of looking and feeling around, he pushes the door open, only to be greeted by a plume of black, oily smoke billowing out from within. Coughing violently, the half-elf hurriedly covers his nose with an arm and moves to slam the door shut again.     The Pyre — Entry Hall   As Darhana moves to catch up with Azura and Noriko, the duo had just opened the door to the outside. At first, the sky appears darker than expected for this hour, but then a quick look reveals the reason. The clouds have moved in and have very much dominated the sky.   Suddenly, a flash of lightning briefly illuminates a portion of the sky, followed shortly by the boom of thunder. The horses grow restless, whining and reeling in response.     [[ Map — The Pyre ]]

Then she turned to Bianca. "I'm staying here and I think most others as well. Head back to Sandpoint if you want to, but it will be without me." She moved after Noriko and Azura to get the horses inside and see what room they would use.   OOC      

Bianca Pohlo Caught by surprise, Bianca fumbles the package and almost drops it. She looks down at it in dismay. "Look, either we can rescue this woman, or we can't," she says, trying to calm down and approach things logically. At least Neskas has rebuffed the horse-eating idea, though why he seems so averse to returning home she can't understand. "I still think we should try. If we get attacked by any more of those... those things, well, um, we can retreat. But then I think we should go back to Sandpoint. Even if there are more orcs on the road... well, that's better than skeletons here, attacking us whilst we sleep! And once we tell Sir Jasper, perhaps he can send some soldiers to come help. We... we're in over our heads, here." Well, I am, she thinks. Why did she let Ameiko talk her into this?

Lars ever the quiet one, had slipped out of the immediate group's sight for a moment. Just now, he re-emerged from what looked to be some staircase going downward on the western portion of the room.   Without a word, he fished something out of his bag, and tossed a small wrapped parcel at the apprentice wizardess. "There's another set of stairs down that way that comes back up."     (( Bianca receives a day worth of trail rations. ))

Neskas Weengoditin Neskas winces. "Horse meat that has been out for a couple days is ... yeah, probably at least as bad an idea as heading back to Sandpoint right now. I've got a few days worth of dried rations with me though, as does Darhana at least. At any rate, Rodele has managed to be safely locked in that room for a couple of days, so it should be safe enough for us to stay in for a night. Two workers also survived the attack by camping a little ways away; that remains a likely safe option as well."

Bianca Pohlo Bianca blinks, not sure she can believe what she's hearing. "You're suggesting that we eat the dead horses?" she asks, incredulous. Has she fallen into some sort of gruesome fairy tale? "The ones that have been mauled by-- by undead!?" She feels like she's about to panic. Being stuck in this horrible place with these people is bad enough but now they seem intent upon spending an even worse night here, and likely upon getting themselves killed to boot! "Nuh-uh! There's no way that going back to Sandpoint can be as bad as that!" She exclaims. "Even with the bridge out... I'd rather get back late than stay here and eat rotting horse meat!"

Neskas Weengoditin Neskas thinks for a moment. "Here is my thinking. From what you've all told me, the workers were attacked two days ago. Rodele's sister is... well, it's not likely to be that urgent to find her. In addition to what Kaichar says about wounds, Noriko has let us know that 'she's not going to be much help without a rest'. I take that to mean she's cast as many spells as she can today. At this hour and given the road conditions we had coming here, there is no safely returning to Sandpoint tonight. If we were traveling with a caravan, it would be time to set up camp and cook dinner. Since there are dead horses out there, I worry about leaving the horses tied up and alone right outside overnight. On the other hand, Noriko did say something about a wand. So we might have some options for pressing on, but that would be without some of the benefits of being rested." He turns toward Darhana, "I'm still inclined toward outside the Pyre like the two workmen who survived, but barring that, I think Rodele's room would be the safer option. If we do that, I'd like to move the horses farther out though."

And you can have my winter blanket for tonight. I can even use some of my tent canvas to make things easier." She looked at the other two. "What do you think. The room of Roldare or the first room with the horses?"   OOC      

   Kaichar "We can keep watches." Kaichar rumbles. "A few of us are hurt." He gestures to the acid burns to his body to punctuate his point. "We can't do her or ourselves any good if we're food for worms." He says, sadly. "It's not ideal, but it's how we are - unless you've got some extra magics we don't know about, I don't think we can risk pressing on." When injured, animals went to ground. That was just the way of things. It was just sensible. Mechanics    

Bianca Pohlo "You want to sleep in this place? With the horses?" Bianca exclaims, amazed at what she's hearing. The place that they now know is infested with undead? "No way! I didn't even bring any camping gear with me...! And what about dinner?" And why do they seem to care so little about this poor woman? They are mercenaries, after all - they've already shown that coin is the thing that motivates them - but are they not worried about her? "Anyway, it's still early," she points out. "Shouldn't we-- shouldn't we just spend a few more minutes checking this place for any sign of Dimira? If it seems too dangerous... well..." Well what? They'll abandon her? "Well, let's just look.

"I could think of a few worse places to lay my head, but whatever, just figure it out." Noriko commented, by now appearing mildly irritated as she turned on her heel, "I'll go get Luci."   "Hey Noriko, wait up!" Azura spun and was quickly hot off the other girl's heels, and as they walk off back toward the entrance, you vaguely hear the tiefling gently scolding Noriko something about wandering off alone.

She would head back to get the horses in if people agreed.   OOC      

Neskas Weengoditin Neskas nods again. "Let's do that then. Do you think we can bring the horses in though? I worry about them being tethered so close to the pyre."

"So far the room where Roldare was in looks to be the most secure." Lars spoke up just now, wiping his blade before sheathing the shortsword, "One door, and he had it barred. Easy to defend."

I came back from DragonCon with a bad batch of covid (still positive but getting better, I will post soon)

That guy has stayed here safe for some time, so that room should be safe for us too and indoors, so no rain and such."   OOC      

Neskas Weengoditin Neskas nods. "It took us about two hours to get here and there isn't likely to be much of a moon tonight. It's going to be even worse if an evening fog rolls in. I don't see that there is any safe way to get back to Sandpoint for the night. Camping is pretty much our only choice. That said, I would prefer to be outside and a little ways away from this place.

"I agree. We can't help anyone if we're not in fighting shape ourselves." Azura nodded to the various complaints being voiced, then added, "But it doesn't make sense to try and make it back to Sandpoint now, especially since the collapsed bridge at Cougar Creek."   "Don't worry, Bianca. We'll set up a watch rotation." The tiefling turned toward the young wizardess, reasoning gently but with a solid logic, "You two can get a full night's worth of rest, and we'll keep a look out for any skeletons or anything. Besides, if anything bad should happen to Dimira, we'd better off if we were right here to stop it, don't you think?"

Bianca Pohlo Bianca frowns. Admittedly, the others have been fighting undead whilst she mostly stood around and watched, but aren't the supposed to be hearty adventurers? "Sandpoint's only a few miles," she points out. "And I'm not staying out here all night! Not if there are more of those... things! Besides, my family will be worried sick!" Her father will be furious... "It doesn't matter, anyway," she says, shaking her head. "Surely if this woman is in danger, we have to try and help her?" She can't help but look at the dead body nearby, however, suddenly feeling very queasy. What are the chances that Dimira is even still alive?

   Kaichar "'S a good thing I'm tough." The big tiefling grumbles. "But right is right. We can't do any good if we're exhausted and die." He continues. "And I'd like to keep seeing sunrises, if that's alright." Mechanics
