Act 1, Scene 3: "Against the Wetrocks" (Main Game Thread)

[Jenara]

"I no want to wait, wait leaves others at mercy of Nesserr, you no give mercy, neither will they." Resting against the wall, her lithe body paused, ready to strike, she slips down in resignation, they were hurt because she didn't stay. "We wait, short rest. Stay alert, three on Watches." She turns to Elden. "No torch."

[TristenC]

[Where and for how long are they planning to rest?]

[Nocturno]

"I will need enough time to make preparations to the Protector, so he will grant me my healing magic again." He will sigh. "I agree waiting may seem like a mistake, but they also may not be expecting it. If we rest somewhere we can intercept anyone coming to bolster their ranks, at least we know they will not get any stronger."

===========================
"I'm fine with no torch. Just don't be trying any funny business." He will look at Jordek when saying that.

[Jenara]

"We take a short rest, long enough to heal." Katten states stroking Dran wishing Dillosel were with her, pawing away the tear that welled in her eye as she thinks of her friend.

(Katten has no idea how long it will take for Clerics to recover spells, this is totally beyond her skills)

[Chris1234]

"Where do you want to do this?" asks Linar.

[Nocturno]

"To recover our spells we will need 8 hours rest. Then some time to speak with our patrons. We could attempt to continue, but we are all in poor shape. As for where, either an alcove in here, or outside."

[Chris1234]

"Sure. You can choose," the dark elf replies. "But preferably a shadowed place."

[Squirrellord]

Yeppers. 8 hours, no less. Gods have their way of doing things whether it is convenient for us or not. They are the gods though, so that is how things work. We get these people out and then rest yes?

[Jenara]

"Eight Hours?" Katten asks, deflated, "People not injured, not needing time to ask gods for spells help prisoners leave. I wait with God people, keep them safe." She states from her position still hugging Dran before she withdraws her bow, checks her arrows and sets about re-purposing those that remain. She doesn't order anyone, instead she sits cross-legged on the hard floor.

[TristenC]

The prisoners stand ready to follow, looking expectantly towards the exit.
===
is everyone escorting them out?
is the consensus to camp outside?
what is the watch rotation? (who/when)

[Jenara]

Katten Sighs, speaking Elven.

"Those who aren't injured should escort the rescued people from the Caves. Dran, Inedien will take first watch. We will guard ttose who need spells."

Katten plans to stay where they are.

[Chris1234]

When location inailed down, Linear will seek a dark corner or niche and hide himself (HS) therein before trancing.

[Nocturno]

"I would prefer if we all went outside. This spot seems to beg for problems when they come to check on the hostages." Nocturno will communicate in Elven to include Linar in on the conversation.

[Chris1234]

Lunar smiles sympathetically, nods a thanks for the translation, and looks across to Katten for direction.

[Jenara]

Katten lingers, barely moving her eyes glancing to the passageway repeatedly. "Get so far, then need to go back. Feel like salmon swimming upriver. Never reach goal." Shrugging she shoulders her bow and leads Dran onwards. "We go back."

She was so close to finding him, so close. Each movement of the sun felt like a step away, even more than the steps they made her take to return.
