If Raddok wants magical healing Arawn can do so but warns that if they're

<x-tab> </x-tab>[New
Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 4th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
6:48 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet’s not especially thrilled with the reception he gets
amongst the funny looking little people. Obviously his own people,
being who they are, aren’t popular. Kiet can kind of understand
that.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He does have one question. "This travel thru the
mountains, is it fairly safe? Can we use horses? Days of
travel is a long way to walk. Also, what about shelter?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf replies, “the further into the mountains it is
safer. Friendly human and dwarf villages.” He turns west as
the sun rises and points. “It is about 3 ranges that way.
We've been here for a long time so our trails will help.“
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok decides, after seeing the large trough/bath, to strip
down to essential minimum & soak a bit, & scrub clean as he can
under the circumstances. No one is paying him much attention, but he's in
a bit of a hurry to cover up again. He will ask either Z'leyra or one of
the mages to complete the healing of his shoulder wound. Whether the
healing is successful or not, he'll next scrub at his armor, & brush
it as clean as possible & don it again over his regular garments in
preparation for the journey. He checks out any food he's carrying, &
any going with them, and water flasks. He makes sure his cloak is also in
good shape, as it may very well be cold at night. He asks about any
saddlebags the horses may have, and where to pack food, gear etc.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He'll see to whatever needs to doing be on the road, and is
glad (& a bit relieved - the stuff is heavy!) to return Dorhak's
equipment & weapons to him. As far as outdoor gear is concerned, he
has almost all his gear (except his bastard sword), which includes a
2-man tent. If there is no other such gear among the party, the tent can
shelter Barbosa & any one other wounded person from the weather. Some
of his bedding (blankets) can be used for warmth. Raddok is comfortable
in mountain terrain & his stamina is good, so he can walk the journey
if he must, and watch the horses to be sure they remain in good shape.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Upon hearing that the party will be heading out shortly
Arawn tends to his equipment, making sure everything was in place. Noting
Kiet's questions to the besamer, especially surrounding shelter in the
mountains, he spoke up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I imagine it shouldn't be too harsh," he said,
glancing at the besamer's near naked bodies. "But I've most of my
gear, tent included, which I can probably stretch out if needed."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When Raddok sought help for his wounded shoulder Arawn
looked to the others that still bore injury.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I can tend to our wounds before we head out if anyone
is interested."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali hears Arawn offer to look at the groups wounds just
before she moves to ask Z'leyra to take a look. She gladly accepts the
Alfar's offer.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"It would be good to have someone look at this nasty
punctures and dress them. Luckily the poison did not take hold, but
better be careful when cleaning it."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I will," Arawn replied, giving the warrior-woman
a warm smile as pulled
</b> out his healing kit. "Magical healing will purge any
contaminants or potential infection but it never hurts to start with a
clean wound to help things out."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
After examining and tending to the wound the alfar finished
off with a prayer, giving thanks to the power of life, nature and the
gods. As he did so he traced over the injured area with his wand, flesh
knitting itself back together as he did so accompanied by a rush of warm
and calming energy.
Raddok is satisfied with Arawn using just Healing skills, & no magic,
as his wound, fairly completely healed does not seem infected, although
he asks Arawn to double-check that. The wound is not really causing him
much trouble - he just has to be careful not to strain it. If something
unexpected happens on the road, Arawn's magical healing might be needed
later more than just now.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
With all the major issues they have come across before, this
seems way too paranoid, yet Fremea will be as mindful about anything
strange going forward. She has never heard of dwarves not living in
mountains, but then again, her knowledge is always lacking about most of
the world.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea wonders if the dwarves even know of faerry?
Maybe she can be herself around these people. They seem to know
Arawn as a elf – so maybe.
<x-tab> </x-tab>

for healing arts. If you folks need help....”

<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 4th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
7:03 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn checks over Unali and treats her. Finds that the
wound has healed and no longer needs to be bandaged just cleaned.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok finds his wounds all but heal up to just a small
scratch so healed 80% naturally. Arawn helps dress and clean the
wound.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn checks his own wound and finds it is also 80%
naturally healed. He dresses it and allows the scratch to heal on
its own.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra checks her own wound but finds it has not
healed. A rare thing for her but figures the ancient cave bugs and
rain last night did not help. In Ticasi speculation is rampant on
what causes these things. Some feel its carried by blood, heart,
brain or lungs or some other combination therein. Some even suspect
its invisible magical bugs that infect folks. Ticasi has created
scopes to see the tiny flea but not beyond that. So some feel its
smaller than a flea. She casts a healing spell upon herself and is now
fully healed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:57 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the party prepares to leave Arawn wonders why the elder
or the others didn’t' pursue the book? Clearly elder knows tome
existed. Is he either ignorant or to low in society to care?
Maybe this is why the King must be seen by the party surely he or his
people know the details. Maybe the Elder vaguely knows stories but
did not alert Gnorf of the importance of the book?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
While Kiet and Unali had a bit of cold stares and somewhat
unwelcome glares the Besamer soon warm up. They realize they are
not part of the vile raiders. So they are treated in more friendly
ways.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Soon a group of 5 humans and 3 Besamer males enter village
with the raider horses. They report Velf is buried nearby and take
the prisoners to the horses. But they are forced to walk as not enough
horses. Gnorf explains, “that is the amount of people we have to
spare each time a raiding party comes. To guard the raiders and
ensure they actually leave. Its about a weeks travel so that takes time
and energy. I say just kill them. But some feel Harn would
try more severe tactics like actual invaders not proxy invaders. IF
they die on the trail so be it. Hey, I'm a peaceful dwarf but after
dozens of these groups they never stop. An example needs to be
given.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The guards escort the prisoners east with pack mules to
carry supplies and food. From the faces of the humans they are
irritated by this duty as well.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf watches them go. “We do take the horses back so
the people will ride back-and the dwarves may stay in border
villages. Its been this way for a generation or so. But I
think more are wanting harsher treatment.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Soon another group of 3 humans and 4 pack animal mules
enter. “Our escort. Two of the mules can carry your gear if
needed. We have enough food and water for 5 days. Shelter and
supplies as well for those of you who said they don’t' have such.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Now with supply of food and water after finishing a meal of
mostly greens and mushrooms, the party heads out.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf leans toward Dorhak and whispers, “is elf from the nearby Sea
Elves? He looks like he is unsteady on land.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa after exiting the hut earlier exclaimed, “did a tree
fall on me? I'm still a bit wounded but will live. Where are
we? Someone catch me up. I didn't know Vahear had all these
mountains all around us.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf points to the north west, “the human village is
there. As a courtesy will stop by and see if they need
anything. We all live well together but tension can happen. Though
this IS a dwarf land we allow humans to live here. As long as they
remain peaceful.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf glances at Dorhak, “its only about half a mile away
over that ridge. You seem ...confused. By our appearance? We do not
like beards as we believe it hides our true self to Bes or
Cedalion. That is what some say. Probably its a ancient story
of good grooming. I don't know. We are healers,
craftsman, artisans and musicians. We know you, our cousins they
say, are the same but are more....eager to fight when needed. We
will defend ourselves but not seek war. There are people with beards
here, so do not fear. We may see some on the way. Your people love
inside mountains We like the outside as well as mountains.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
With that the party arrives at the human village
margin. As they near they hear a ruckus where a group of the
villages some 15-16 are gathering talking loudly. Gnorf shrugs and
enters the village.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then he rounds the corner and yells in dwarf elder, “stop!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The party stop and notice a girl with arms raised tied to
ropes hanging from a tree limb. Her back is facing the party and
about 10 feet away a man holds a whip raised over his head.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“What is going on here?” Gnorf asks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“This girl was caught stealing from us. We give
rightful punishment.” The man in his late 40s replies probably a village
leader.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“Is she part of this village?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“No. But-”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf moves toward the girl and rounds to the front of
her. “This girl is wanted. Free her!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa asks, “wanted for what?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf moves back to party, “the raiders told us of a
girl. A girl that was on their ship when arrived in Harn. She snuck
off and forced her way into the party. The Lemasans figured she'd
be in danger left in Harn city. So they allowed it and I suspect
for other reasons based on her being only a female. Soon though a
fellow raider was killed mysteriously. They suspected the girl but
she left their party before they could question her. Based on he
looks...she has to be her. We should be able to get her kicked out
of our land with a fast ride to catch the others.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A villager unties the woman and she spins around to stare at
the party.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Standing at roughly 5' 7" the woman looks at you
harshly, her long black hair isn't able to hide her missing right eye and
severely burned face.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Her remaining eye is black and filled with a burning hatred
which she fights to hide. She tries to give you a reassuring smile
but it comes out more like a grimace with her scars.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The air about her has chilled perceptively and she shivers
as if never able to get warm.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The woman flexes her fingers which show a agile
nature. She is a bit over 100 pounds and she is in her mid 20s.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Two villagers approach woman to grab her. The leader
speaks up, “you'll need to tie her up and get her on a horse fast to
catch up with the others!”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Unali notices something about the woman. Her land,
Katai, has that slight brown complexion, small face and distinctive
eye-brows to denote members of the far east. Lemasa has same qualities
but not as obvious. This is how Gnorf could tell who was a 'raider'
and who wasn't. While Kiet and Unali to trained eyes are distinct
they have a general closeness. For this woman she is a odd pale
white almost corpse color with very little pigment. But she has the
face and eyes of the far east. This to the Besamar denote raider
but was she part of the raiders?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn notices her manner is fierce and strong, defiant but
scared. Almost too scared. The way she flickers her eyes
looking around. It is for sure to be scared to be beat by these
villagers. But Arawn can sense something more.
