welcomes this news visitor to the Pre makeship camp.
If we do sleep here he would
like to go meditate and rejuvenate his power as high as he can before bed.
Ooc: [What is power regain rate per night?]
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.
From Gerald: [Re: test]
Test 1,2,3--
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? :)
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
[the following will occur after
the decision made by Tarek about the new stranger
come upon them & any resolution needed.]
Varo listens to Juno after she's
made her own suggestion about
GM: Ack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Clayday, Death week, Storm Season,
1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
[Time: Evening]
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."
Tarek shrugs and nods as he doesn't care on the loot.
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."
Mournath is talking slow, low, and as
nonthreatening as possible. He keeps his hands
far away from weapons and stands in a relaxed pose.
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.
Tarek whispers to Jaren, 'follow and watch him closely.”
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?”
Then the stranger appears.
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.
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.”
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.”
After seeing this new visitor, “What
can we say can we trust this new visitor Rocky.”
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.
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.
He asks, “Should we rest here for the night and camp is it safe?”
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.”
He also asks, “What is the watch rotation?”
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.
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.
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.
Jaren whispers to Tarek, 'his horse
was further away seemed to be not associated with others.” He nods to Mournath.
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.
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.”
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.
-----------------------
[Fireday, Death week, Storm Season,
1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
[Time: Afternoon – North of Demark]
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.
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.
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.
-----------------------
[Wildday, Death week, Storm Season,
1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]
[Time: Afternoon – North of Demark]
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.
[Time: 8:47 pm]
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.
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.
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.
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!
GM: Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Tue/Wed.
GM: I enjoyed the role playing and the
comments you guys include on the gods and
