"Perfect," is all Ne'charri says as she storms off towards the forest, and doing her best to find some trouble to get into.

During the trek, Ne'charri alternates between keeping her distance from Keeper and being intentionally in his proximity but awkwardly quiet. She hadn't cared about anyone enough to give them a gift in a long time, longer than she could immediately recall. Being vulnerable in any way wasn't something Ne'charri was comfortable with anymore, even with her friends. At the end of the second day, she'd had enough. She realized she was being weak and timid, and that was far worse for her than any other feeling she may have had. "Old man," she nearly bellowed as she stood near, almost over, Keeper as he sat by the evening fire. "I was shopping back at Catrico, this reminded me of you," she said as she tossed him something shiny. It was a necklace, and the thin leather strap began to unfold as it dropped through the air. As it landed softly in Keeper's hand he saw the amulet was well crafted; while Ne'charri didn't tell anyone this, it was actually hand crafted by a powerful mage who endowed it with strong enchantments. Keeper immediately recognized the small purple and green lotus flower at the heart of the amulet as a holy symbol of Korada. "Hope you like it," Ne'charri said with her back turned as she was already leaving the area. And doing so Quickly. "I've got watch," she said just as she moved out of earshot. In Vintagar, the idea of slaughtering creatures senselessly did not sit well with Ne'charri. Even as a hunter she had always been taught to treat her kills with respect as they provided food, furs and other necessities. Her recent time with the druid, Tyressa, had only deepened her reverence for beasts and the like after having spent so much time experiencing life from their vantage point. Death had its place in nature, but it was driven by purpose and survival. These purposeless killings would not stand. "Give the Count a chance to call off the slaughter, or straight to the forest to stop it ourselves?" Ne'charri asked Keeper and Sharpe. She made no effort to hide her disdain for what was happening, and her anger seemed to be ready to boil over.

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ Ingrid's magic causes a few of Byran's larger wounds start to knit themselves shut to a degree. His wounds are still numerous, though they no longer look to be so life-threatening as they did a few seconds prior. "Ahhh, much better!" Byran exclaims without taking his eyes off the skum facing off against him. He glances over his shoulder quickly to see Ingrid standing behind him, and clearly the source of his healing. "My thanks, Miss Dwarf! I owe you an ale!" Nancy carefully aims her crossbow. Hitting a target many rows deep into the fray is not without challenges, but she just manages to nick the frog man's shoulder. Coal loads up her blade, but telegraphs the strike much too early and the battle-savvy skum easily sidesteps the attack. The group of skum still standing rally themselves for the attack. Most of their attacks are dodged or deflected, though one sneaks through Coalscuttle's defenses to catch her across his shield-carrying arm. DM: Coal Skum rolled nat 20 to hit, but no confirm. 7 damage for Coal. The duergar and tiefling in the cage shift towards the remaining nearby skum as they reach out and try to grab and hold, but they aren't able to get a grasp on him.

Seeing Keeper brought a smile to Ne'charri's face, even if it only lasted for a moment. "I was wondering if you'd been able to stay out of trouble," Ne'charri said with a wry smirk. "At least whatever trouble we get into now will be together." Ne'charri's caught another figure approaching out of the corner of her eye. As she turned, she let out almost in a sigh, "And the wizard. We are whole once more." Retrieving a piece of parchment from her tunic, Ne'charri held it up and reminded the group what it was. "The note from the dead druid at the keep. It's to Relora, an arch-druid. It tells of betrayal by the empire's spies, meant as a warning." Ne'charri paused to let the information sink in. "Whatever else we do next, we should deliver this message soon. We may find allies if we act with haste."

Ne'charri was pleased. Not just with the result, but she enjoyed being in the wilderness. It reminded her of a simpler time in her life. A time when the world made sense to her and she felt contentment in being a vital part of her tribe. She was also pleased with her time with Tryessa, more than she thought she would be, for sure. The druid was a competent mentor, and Ne'charri found she enjoyed her company as well. "I...thank you," Ne'charri said as she struggled to find the right words. Just a reminder of why she usually preferred to say very little. "You did not have to help me, but you did. I hope that some day I can come back here, and maybe I can find a way to return the favor." Her eyes drift back to the woods, towards Catrico. "But I must take my leave. My friends will need me." Not one for long goodbyes, and feeling as if she might have said too much already, Ne'charri didn't linger much before taking her leave and heading back to the city. She was needed there.

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ Both Quim and his worg manage to land their strikes, with Quim's trident catching the skum in his shoulder and the worg ripping a piece out of his inner thigh. The skum manages to keep his footing and wits, but it's sluggish movements indicate its body is near failing. Draco's rapier pierces deeply into the skum's torso, and as Draco pulls the weapon back out the frog-man drops to the ground. Vannan turns back towards the larger skirmish line and moves to support Byran, who is looking worse with every strike landed against him. He turns his attention to the skum still contending with Ingrid's vines and cuts the bowels of the creature open, and it's entrails spill out as it falls.

round 5 Vannan attack

Works for me. I'm sure it would be easier for you to bring us all back together.

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ Worg and Coal's strikes combine on the same skum and leave him bloody and reeling, though still in the fight. Near the cage, the skum being grappled by the prisoners manages to free himself. He seems to intentionally falls backwards, and appears to completely disappear into the dark as he falls into the water. The remaining skum in that area takes a step towards the cage with his own eye on the water, and he lets out a series of strikes aimed at Draco...none hit their mark. Byran continues to spar with one of the skum, and the creature manages to land another attack on the mercenary. He looks worse for the wear, and is having trouble staying on his feet as his injuries continue to mount. He sways uncontrollably as his balance is wavering. The two skum still stuck by Ingrid's vines manage to free themselves and rush towards the edge of the overgrowth, and one manages to escape the area completely. The apparent battle leader strikes at Worg, though Nancy's magic still seems to be costing it some of it's combat effectiveness. The first two strikes miss, though the third is a scaled claw that rakes across the beasts body. DM: Worg Don't know Worg's stats off-hand, but I'm assuming a 15 is a hit (let me know if that's incorrect). 2 damage to Worg. The skum nearby, still under the effects of Nancy's mind control, punches it's trident out and catches the leader in the back. As the leader spins around, the magic is already wearing off, and the traitorous skum raises it's webbed hands apologetically as it points at the party. The duergar reaches through the bars again and tries to grab a hold of the nearby skum, though this one manages to keep himself free of the dark dwarf's grasp. The tielfing makes a similar attempt, though has just as little luck.

"A will of it's own. Hmmm." The idea seemed to resonate as she nodded her head slowly. It was something she hadn't ever thought of before. She had always thought of each person, animal and monster as a distinct creature, with an independent mind and will. Even the spirits her tribe had shown reverence and paid homage to for various things, like a fruitful hunt or a rainy winter, they each seemed to be specific ideals and entities. The idea of nature having it's own will was enlightening. Ne'charri looked forward to her upcoming dreams, and to the possibility of trying to connect with this sleeping, dreaming god that was nature. Actions/OOC I'm good with a little fast forward if you're anxious to get the group back together and move the main story ahead.

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ As the caged fellows continue to hold one of the skum against the cage, Draco stabs at the other with his rapier and pierces its abdomen. Dark, almost black blood spills out and runs down it's stomach and legs. Ingrid swings her mace at the same skum, caving in one of it's knees momentarily. The frog-man fight to stay on his feet, but its clear he only has a little fight left in him. As Nancy finishes her spell, the skum in her sights' eyes seem to glaze over and his gaze slowly turns to his nearest companion... Byran reaches down to grab a handful of dirt, then throws it in the face of the skum adjacent to him. The skum is quick enough to bring up it's hand to block the attempts, but Byran follows up with a strike from his horned shield.

"I shall see this note delivered then," Ne'charri said as she took the note and tucked it back into her clothing. "But for now we should focus on our purpose here. What should I expect from this potion?"

Ne'charri didn't hesitate to quaff the elixir. She trusted Tryessa enough at this point, and much more than many she had previously met in her travels. If Tryessa wanted to harm Ne'charri, she'd already had plenty of opportunities anyway. Whatever the drink may have tasted like, Ne'charri barely gave it time to rest on her tongue and she gulped it down, then handed the vessel back to the druid. "Thank you," she said as she reached for her water skin to wash it down. Ne'charri had found herself thinking about her companions, and wondering how they fared. She had come to care about them more than she had initially realized, and more than she might have intended. She knew they were each capable and dangerous in their own right, but the part of her that never quite felt safe and was always a little on edge couldn't help but worry. "Tryessa, I hesitate to ask, but there's something else I wonder if you could help me with," Ne'charri said as she reached into her tunic to pull out a folded piece of parchment. "We found someone working for our enemies, and he claimed to be a druid. I believe him, and when they abandoned their fortress we found him dead. But I have a note from him, written in a language I cannot read." Ne'charri offered the note to Tryessa. "Would you tell me what it says?"

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ Quim's shift in styles bears fruit, and he manages to punch the tip of the trident through the skum's upper arm. Vannan turns away from the sea of vines and charges towards Ingrid and the skum in front of her. He brings his blade down, but misses the frog man completely as he blades slams into the ground.

~ Skum Cave ~ ~ Month 2, Day 9: Afternoon ~ The worg catches the nearby skum and takes a small chunk out of it's calf, which causes the skum to grit it's sharp, jagged teeth as it stifles a cry of pain. The skum being held against the cage by the duergar and tiefling struggles to escape. He drops his weapon to use both clawed hands for the task, but is still unable to break free. Others fighting against Ingrid's magic vines fair similarly well in that they also aren't able to break themselves free of their constraints. Those of the frog men who are not held by someone or something, however, engage in a counter-attack of tridents, claws and teeth; a veritable barrage of sharpness. Ingrid catches a claw across her shoulder, while Byran is unable to dodge any of the attacks leveled at him and suffers though multiple strikes and wounds. Coalscuttle, meanwhile, lets her budding warrior instincts take over. She dodged, ducks and blocks, and the few strikes that manage to get past her first few lines of defense are blunted enough by her strong armor. In all, she is able to repel all of the attacks of two of the skum, including the particularly menacing looking one standing in front of her. DM: Ingrid She takes 4 damage from a skum claw.
