Day 2 on the island, TOD 8:30am (Day 14)

#101 Post by Argennian »

~ The party wraps up their first island breakfast just as Hazara's golden rays of omnipotence break magnificently over the cliffs behind them in a spectacular array of hope and dare it be said, excitement! The air is cool and crisp and the seas beyond the reef sparkle in longing anticipation of the coming late summer day.

Ulrich and Lauranna both forgo the planned island explorations and return to the ship. The dwarf cleric is intent to continue his training and meditations with Lord Jovak, feeling that he is at the cusp of the third level of power with his divination magics. The High elf is still in need of rest, although you wouldn't really think it to consider her, and wishes to continue her magely studies with the recently-recovered nobleman Ziffiris, nonetheless. She has already progressed in the arts of stealth well enough and now she too is very close to reaching her next level in mastery in the arts of Ars Magica.

Bogdan, Caelvanna and Emm retrieve their gear and get prepped to depart on their reconnoiter of the northern trail. The druidess reassures Sam and Benny and they both nod in the affirmative. Although the young girl seems hesitant to want to let Emm go, she and her faithful stuffed bear companion are obviously taken in by the excitement of it all and she acquiesces without too much of a fuss.


~ The trio return ready for deployment and check in with Ziller before taking to the trail. The halfling commander is getting debriefed by Zimba and Arak. He rubs his forehead and waits for Shanny's tea to take better effect as he nods to the half-orc warrior, the Wild elf archer and the young human druid.

Reports are made and orders relayed before Ziller dismisses his two officers to their various tasks. He then turns and approaches Bogdan, Caelvanna and Emm, reaching into the upper pocket of his shirt and handing each of them a small vial of whitish-yellow fluid. "This is an anti-venom and naturally-occurring toxins treatment of sorts. It can be ingested if one is conscious and able or applied topically to a poisoned wound if they are not or unable. It is not an antidote and will only work to slow down any poisons or toxins. There is only one dose per vial and it's effects last about an hour, maybe a wee bit more depending. So if any of you get bit by what you suspect to be a poisonous snake or creature or get pricked by one of those plants Emm described, use it and get your butts back here asap!" he directs with a serious look before donning his light smile again and downing the rest of his tea with a much more comfortable look on his face.

He takes another deep breath and looks over at the awaiting game trail. "Just work your way north and check things out as you go. Notate any fruit or potential edibles you see as well. Like we talked about, stay together and blow your whistles if you get in trouble. Don't take any undue chances. We're going to be here for awhile so no need to try and check it all out in one go. Alright then, friends?" he offers, looking to each of you for acknowledgement before nodding and indicating the trail. "We'll see you later then!"


Bogdan leads the way back to the trail head. After nods from both Sorel and Mila there on station, the trio make their way into the thick brush past the treeline and north towards the intersection they were at last night...


********************************

OOC: Ok then, gang! I'm going to start up two new threads: one for the trail reconnoiter and one for those remaining with the ship.

On the island: Exploring the northern trail: this thread will be for Bog, Caelvanna and Emm while their on the northern trail: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1575#p48633

When they return to the ship, we'll continue posting here in the main Action Thread 4.

POP1: Please update inventories to include the small vial of anti-toxin that each of you acquired. (small 3" long x 1/2" wide glass vial with small stopper; encumbrance: negligible)

On the island: About the ship & cove: this thread will be for Lauranna and Ulrich while they are separated from the scouting party. When the scouting party returns, they can also continue to post here in the main Action Thread 4.
(Note: I will also keep Griffo and Thalion on or about the ship and cove. They will be helping out with guard duty on the beach, repairs on the ship and the continuation of their training.)

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional clarifications!
