Sik follows Kain to attempt to retrieve some Snakemen bodies. Given the difficulty they had getting up the stairs with the lumber, he proposes hacking their bodies into smaller pieces to make it easier.

We did that, and got through our rest period undisturbed.

"I suppose we all should go back down there together, in case there are more snake-men lurking. I just need time to, you know, prepare my cræft for the day." Out of her pouch, Magda produces a tightly stoppered clay vial. "Also, we must try to keep at least some part of the corpse intact − a stomach, or the like − so this potion will all go into the worm and not be spilled into the river."

Sik is a little worried that the Snakemen might come back to retrieve their dead if we wait too long.

Drest

I suggest we do not split the group. If we go to get the bodies we should all go.

You are actually in the middle of your rest phase, so you will either need to go now, or wait until everyone is fully rested.

Maybe it won't make any difference.

Drest

I am for finishing our rest phase.

ok, we will rest first

Resting HP Recovery: [1d12]=8

Magda

Magda tiredly rolls into her cloak and closes her eyes. "Keep the noise down, you louts."

Akhilleus

Sleeps and stands guards when it's his turn (if he hasn't already).

Hit Points: [1d10+1]=4+1=5

I don't like that "Ok, great!"

Magda

No need of HP recovery. The spells she's prepping for the new "day" are sleep ×2, unseen servant ×1.

Ditto!

Drest

Rests and stands watch. Also keeps an eye on the pommel of his sword and keeps it where whoever is on watch can also keep an eye on it.

"Keep an eye on my swords pommel in case the snake men wander by."

Xenos takes his turn at the watch.

Under The Zakath Desert
No Wood For Da Fire
Still No Idea On Time Or Day

The party decides to rest in this area between certain death below and being eaten alive outside. Closing the doors again seems to keep the huge slug away for the time being, allowing everyone to get a full nights rest, even though they still have no idea what time of day it actually is in this disorienting underground environment.

Drest sees no change in his sword pommel, indicating that no more Snakemen or other reptilians approach during their extended rest.

Once all three shifts have run their course, rations are shared and evacuations completed, allowing the group the freedom to decide how to approach their obviously precarious water crossing they need to make if they are going to return to civilization eventually.

"Aye. Let’s do this. I can carry the raft with someone else."
