Sleep Sight/Watchful Sleep:


   Is it possible for the caster to be awakened by others? Or to will themselves to wake up prior to end of the spell?


   Just something to mull over, but I imagine the spell isn't meant to create limitations on the spell's benefactor. Would it make sense to be able to cast the spell so that the area of effect is based on the EL but the duration of sleep is designated by the caster prior to resting? In other words, if a druid cast Sleep Sight at EL 5 (which would cover a 120' diameter and could last up to 6 hours) could he set it so the spells ends after only 4 hours while still having a 120' diameter area of effect?




   If the consensus is for casters of these spells to have a physical watch Arawn would prefer the shift just before the dawn as it's the darkest part of the night and he's one of the few in a good position to stand watch then. Otherwise he can adjust the EL of his spell so that he wakes up in a decent amount of time to stand watch (or just adjust the time if this is allowed, as mentioned above).


   As far as other casters getting 8 hours of sleep without a watch, Arawn's indifferent to this so long as everyone in the party is able to get enough sleep.




Healing in the aftermath of the battle:


   If Z'leyra or someone else wants to practice their healing skills or magic Arawn will limit himself to tending to Zabyra so the other healers can focus on Redoff and Pyan. Arawn will use a Healing Hand prayer (max EL) if Zabyra's okay with that. Otherwise, if Z'leyra prefers, he can use Healing Mist as an area of effect spell to heal the group.

   If any of the horses were injured to a point of concern he'll heal them as well, using Healing Mist if more than one is in need.


   David/Kiet, I noticed in your update that you couldn't find where Zabyra was injured in the post. It was in Update #23, 6hp of damage.




Goblin and Bandit Items:


   On behalf of the party, Arawn will use Mana Sensing on the horses and items gathered from both groups. He'll Mana Read anything he senses as magical.


   Arawn will see to the horses needs as best he can while they remain with the party, communicating on their behalf and is mainly interested in trying to make sure the horses will be sold off to those who will treat them well.

   The only items he's interested in at the moment are the poison darts. He'd like to keep two for future study (mainly to understand the poison, how to create it and the antidote through Herbalism), though if Fremea has this knowledge he can ask her for the information instead and jot this down on a sheet of paper.

   As much as he wanted to chase after his equine friends Arawn made the difficult decision to remain at camp. Redoff needed to be looked over the camp guarded until the others returned from the hunt. Luckily it was but a short time later that they arrived, horses in tow, to find the alfar cleaning the bloody grime threatening to crust along Redoff's wounds. He signaled Z'leyra over so the shaman could use her medical knowledge of the human form to more thoroughly asses the severity of the warrior's injuries.

   While she did so he looked in on the others, horses included, when Kiet asked him about the divine light.


[Kiet: "Arawn? What the heck was that, exactly? That light."]


   "Belief," he replied in a matter-of-fact manner. Sensing that a clearer answer might be needed he continued after a slight pause.


   "It is a blessing of the divine, much as a human priest may use a holy symbol to repel the undead. The servants of the Eldest Serpent cannot abide the true glory of the Sidh. That light, its presence, reminds them of their broken connection to an ancient glory and bringing unto their spirits both fear and dismay."



   Later, as the druid looked over the assorted items and horses gathered over the last several days he gave a shrug as Kiet presented the idea of passing a magical blade on to one of the party's recently acquired travel partners. It wasn't in Arawn's nature to be greedy and it was clear to those who knew him that his gesture was one of assent.



---------------



   Arawn stood over the unconscious and now bound goblin, a mixture of sadness and concern clouding his fair face.



   "We should see if a larger camp exists nearby, for our sake and those of other travelers. And to see if any prisoners exist that may need rescue."



   He waited to make sure that all could hear him before he asked,


   "Does anyone speak the goblin tongue? Else, if Z'leyra would be so kind, perhaps her necklace might be of use here?"


[If no one speaks up in regards to this Arawn will cast Communicate at max EL along with Hidden Truth at max EL after the goblin wakes up to assist with the interrogation]
