<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Minor correction. No road. This
is pure forest. The road was only a few feet out of gate from
town. Nothing was stolen, especially as you just stopped here no
time for that. Pow Regens 0.25x POW every 6 hours. So if your
POW is 24 you regen 24x0.25=6 every 6 hours.

GM: Ack. Got your repost of first post a copy but not put on
my site or here since same as first post. If you need to test use
the Archives. Sent you the link and its also in every public
post in the headers. IF it shows there your post went out.
Looks like a dupe test post so not displayed here or my site. Same
with a 3rd repeat of your first post. Were you looking at Archives
by chance? Saw your discord DM but not clear. If seeing Archives
you may need to go back to main page as those 5 posts were December so
you mightn’t been seeing the Nov page? :)

<x-tab> </x-tab>[New
Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Clayday,
Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
</b> [Time: Evening]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky suggests "Them thet ken use the stuff grab em,
otherwise the rest shud be put on a horse en sold later. We kin split the
money gained."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek shrugs and nods as he doesn't care on the loot.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A tall man steps from the forest, hands held far away from
the weapons on his hip. Braided long hair hangs from a helmeted head with
a deeply tanned face mostly covered with a salt-and-pepper beard and
mustache.
"Peace, friends. At least I hope we will be able to greet each other
as such. Indeed, I did follow you from the last town but not for ill
intentions. I thought it more than likely, that your benefactor's call
for paid aid would attract highwaymen and thugs that would rather rob him
than work for him. I took it upon myself to follow at a distance to see
if my suspicions were true. Forgive the wariness of a soldier that's seen
too much of the evils of man, but I do wish to join your endeavor if
you'll have me."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath is talking slow, low, and as nonthreatening as
possible. He keeps his hands far away from weapons and stands in a
relaxed pose.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek nods, “You are lucky I recognize you from the bar is
why you are not on the ground. It is good to have a man to think
ahead though. Some of you move the bodies a bit away I see no use
in burial in my effort but you are free to do so. They should be
left as a warning if others come. Gather loot and pool it it is
yours. Some of you collect their horses. You can go get the
horses....” He nods to Mournath.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek whispers to Jaren, 'follow and watch him closely.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo agreed with Rocky about how to treat the robbers goods,
although she's willing to only salvage the best of the armor (most of it
no good except as scrap pieces) & the swords for later sale & g
disbursement of funds - “Yes, Rocky, I agree that they are best for sale
later & the funds shared out – excluding the price for anyone who may
take one of the swords – perhaps? Or not? What do the rest of you
think? And do we bury them, burn the bodies? I don't know all your
beliefs. Might be better to dispose of them, however, than leave them for
wildlife, since we're still planning on sleeping here tonight. Maybe a
short prayer we can give in silence for them?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then the stranger appears.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo keeps her bow drawn & aimed toward the stranger,
till he holds his arms out & speaks. Then, although lowering it
slightly, she keeps it aimed toward him as she waits for Tarek's response
on accepting this man or not as part of the
group. So far, this journey is not boring, she thinks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno mutters a prayer out loud to the fallen, “You now pass
from the living to the realm of the dead. Now may your body rest and give
back to the ground you no longer tread.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno asks the group, “Can we at least move the bodies
off the trail and in some brush? I don't want any pieces we can settle
the monies later.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
After seeing this new visitor, “What can we say can we trust
this new visitor Rocky.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Not trusting this new visitor too fast. Juno checks his pack
checks the horses to be sure nothing was stolen. He makes sure his
horses are fed and watered and goes back and gathers firewood he had
collected and-dump it near the fire.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Then he cast a heal spell(1) on his wound before he takes
some rest and eats some rations drinks a ration of water it all down.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He asks, “Should we rest here for the night and camp is it
safe?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The town guide looks to the bodies, “if you burn they will
attract animals. They will still attract dead. But if we just store
them maybe 20-30 feet away from camp most big animals will avoid them
till we leave. A patrol will also deter any big animals like bear
or wolf. We will camp here as Tarke suggested earlier.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He also asks, “What is the watch
rotation?”<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As some move the bodies about 30 feet away but in sight of
camp others go with Mournath to collect the horses. The party finds
water and some food but not much of value otherwise. Looks clear
the loan shark thugs were not expecting to be gone from town long.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo listens to Juno after she's made her own suggestion
about burial & silently seeks communion with Ernalda, the Earth
Queen, for a full minute or two to feel a return to Balance and
understanding. She then follows Juno to the horse pickets and checks her
mare for readiness for the night's rest, then starts giving her a sturdy
brushing, to the beast's obvious pleasure.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
During this, Varo speaks to Juno without looking at him “I
wish to apologize if I said anything that has offended you in any way. I
am used to traveling on my own, although with traveling parties for
safety. I don't often have odd or dangerous things to deal with in a
party as small as ours is. We here all come from different countries
& our faith in our gods is a good thing, & I hope I have not
offended yours. I am willing to simply hide the bodies in brush as you
suggested, as long as there are no predators that might come upon them in
the night or before we move on in the morning. My god, Ernalda, believes
in the return of the dead to the living earth, to bring forth a Balance
toward Life for those now dead. It's my duty to help with that. Would you
like some help in moving and -or - burying these men?” She looks toward
Juno for a response.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren whispers to Tarek, 'his horse was further away seemed
to be not associated with others.” He nods to Mournath.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Some 30 minutes or so later all tents are setup and watches
are made. Tarek admits he'll rarely do a sentry duty but that's why he
hired you guys. He sets up his tent north of the campfire and Jaren
sleeps feet from that tent to ensure no intruders to his boss.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As talk starts to settle around the campfire, Tarek asks
Mournath. “What are your main skills. I'm sure you will be a
good asset to the party.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Finally folks start to take to tents or a blanket on the
ground. The night grows long and there is nothing going on to be
wary of.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>

-----------------------
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Fireday,
Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
</b> [Time: Afternoon – North of Demark]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The day is uneventful and warm for the most part.
Being Fireday some believe the fire runes have greater power this
day. But the party makes 10 miles walking before they stop for
lunch. For most of the morning Tarek walks and talks to Varo trying
to get to know her better. They share a equal homeland so try to
discern family and possible clan connections.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
That night two plump rabbits are hunted down for dinner and
cooked. From what the canopy barely shows it was mostly a sunny
day. But the life in the forest is a blaze with normal daily
life. From the smallest insect to large moose spotted as they
travel.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
That night no encounters are dealt with and a quiet night's
rest is finished. Juno confirms that his wounds and magical power
is at full and healed from the day before.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
-----------------------
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Wildday,
Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
</b> [Time: Afternoon – North of Demark]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Those cults who are close to nature feel Wildday allows
animals a extra edge some dare say even a bonus from the gods. In
some areas hunting is even forbidden this day of the week under the
Orlanthi calendar at least.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
8:47 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A very light fog swirls in the forest as a half moon shines
through the trees making a ghostly landscape. Varo and Juno are
both on story as others sit or stand around the camp. Varo is close
to the camp as a visual sentry on patrol in the south west about 30 feet
from campfire. Juno is on stealth sentry not seen to give him a
better patrol edge. Juno is due south about 80-85 feet from campfire.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgar suddenly gets the urge. He gathers his gear and
quietly moves due north of the camp about 40 feet. He checks wind
and hopes the smell won't drift south. To be safe he goes another
40 or so feet so now about 80 feet due north of campfire. He can
still see the fire on various trees as a dim shadow. HE finds a
bush and drops his pants and gear o the ground. That meal tonight
was heavy on his stomach and now he needs relief. As he squats
against a tree limb he gathers a large set of bush fronds to use as
paper.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The sound of the forest is heard as gas is expelled.
He hears faint singing. Is that dwarf singing again? He
glances south to the camp and spots a form due south of him about 8
feet. A branch breaks under the weight of the form. Razgar squints
and tries to see what it is. Probably a bear or deer.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
But it does indeed seem to be a bear? But is he seeing
things? The head almost seems to be orange? The creature
saunters toward him. Razgar groans can't he just wait 5 more
minutes he has business to do!
