[OOC: If Raddok wants magical
healing Arawn can do so but warns that if they're
wounded in the mountains he'll likely have to
wait until the next day for further healing.
Otherwise he'll tend to his wounds using his Healer skill.
For Unali and Z'leyra, let me

[New Stuff]
[Ma 4th, 1636TH]
[Time: 6:48 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
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.
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?"
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.“
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.
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.
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.
"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."
When Raddok sought help for his
wounded shoulder Arawn looked to the others that still bore injury.
"I can tend to our wounds before we
head out if anyone is interested."
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.
"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."
"I will," Arawn replied, giving the
warrior-woman a warm smile as pulled
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."
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.
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.
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.

Gnorf watches as folks are treated
for wounds, 'we are known for healing arts. If you folks need help....”
----------------------
[Ma 4th, 1636TH]
[Time: 7:03 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
Arawn checks over Unali and treats
her. Finds that the wound has healed and no
longer needs to be bandaged just cleaned.
Raddok finds his wounds all but heal
up to just a small scratch so healed 80%
naturally. Arawn helps dress and clean the wound.
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.
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.
[Time: 8:57 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village]
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?
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.”
Now with supply of food and water
after finishing a meal of mostly greens and mushrooms, the party heads out.
Gnorf leans toward Dorhak and
whispers, “is elf from the nearby Sea Elves? He
looks like he is unsteady on land.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.
Then he rounds the corner and yells in dwarf elder, “stop!”
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.
“What is going on here?” Gnorf asks.
“This girl was caught stealing from
us. We give rightful punishment.” The man in his
late 40s replies probably a village leader.
“Is she part of this village?”
“No. But-”
Gnorf moves toward the girl and
rounds to the front of her. “This girl is wanted. Free her!”
Barbosa asks, “wanted for what?”
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.”
A villager unties the woman and she
spins around to stare at the party.
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.
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.
The air about her has chilled
perceptively and she shivers as if never able to get warm.
The woman flexes her fingers which
show a agile nature. She is a bit over 100 pounds and she is in her mid 20s.
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!”
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?
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.
