Act 2, Scene 2: "To Crush the Wetrocks" (Main Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

"It seems we will be waiting here for a bit. I too have some healing to distribute."

He will wonder and look at the saddle.

"Would anyone be willing to help me fit this saddle on my sturdy mount? It seems I may be needing it more than I thought."

[TristenC]

[Nocturno, Bullock and Katten still have injuries. You guys let me know who you want each spell to go to]

Jordek moves over to help Nocturno saddle his mule (mostly by hooking the straps under the mount and keeping it from sliding off the other side). As the silver strap is buckled, a curious thing happens. A pair of spur-like protrusions begin to grow from the side of the saddle near the mule's shoulders! The protrusions continue to extend, taking on a fuzzy quality like the down of a fledgeling. They split and begin to unfurl like the wings of a young bird. As the group watches in amazement the wings continue to mature until they have grown to a full 8 ft wingspan! The feathers resemble those of a great buzzard; black and wide, built for cruising but not agile darting and diving...

[Chris1234]

Linar looks up to volunteer to help Nocturno but sibsides when he sees that Jordek has jumped onto the job.

[Nocturno]

Katten, please take the healing before you leave." He will motion to Linar. He will wait till after he checks out the saddle before casting his healing spells.
==============================
IE. Wait to see what Linar's spells do.
==============================
"What could this be. This is quite the development." He will walk around the new saddle inspecting the new wings.
=============================

[Chris1234]

If there's no spell-studying opportunity then Linar will practise speaking Common.

[Styrius]

Findalsip having comforted by the presence of the rock in the glade decides he will wade into the pool and enjoy soak. Once he enters he realizes that the events of the past couple of days and the food he has eaten has produced bloating. He begins delighting in the homemade bubble bath he is now able to produce as he lounges in the pool. "A change in the ol' diet does not always go well for me". He happily rips one after the other as tiny bubbles float to the surface.

[TristenC]

Linar, Jordek and Nocturno distribute some healing. Nocturno is almost fully healed, and Bullock improves quite a bit from the Drow's magic.

Fin takes the opportunity to relax in the glade, relieving some gastric distress. Jordek chuckles at the deep. Careful you don't summon the dreaded beast of the depths with that!

Nocturno inspects the wings. They rustle and settle just like they might on a giant bird. The base seems to have merged with the shoulders of the mule and the saddle both! Aside from the fact that they grew out of his mount, they look like natural features.

[Jordek will be willing to practice common with Linar, clarifying in Elven where necessary]

[Chris1234]

"Thank you, Jordek," replies Linar in both languages.

[Styrius]

Findalsip replies "I'm conjuring air elementals underwater." Once he finishes his soak he dons his garb once more and performs his daily rituals to Calladuran listens in on the language lessons while studying the makeup of the rock and making notes.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno will try to close up all of the Minotaurs wounds, and will cast CLW on anyone else who has any.

He will then fall into a sword training routine, going through forms for an hour. Then curiosity will get the best of him, and he will try to ride his trusty steed.

[TristenC]

Nocturno uses another minor healing spell on the minotaur, washing away the rest of his wounds. After practicing his sword for a while, he climbs into the saddle. Urging the mule forward, it begins walking in circles around the glade at a light trot. The wings flap now and again as if trying to take off but it becomes clear that more speed and more room are needed.

[Essentially there isn't enough room in the glade for takeoff]
====

[Chris1234]

While the group rest and recover Linar continues to try and improve his Common.

[Jenara]

Appearing with the silence she left with the tiny woman pads back into the glade, taking the new quiver on her shoulder she follows her usual pattern and enters the water once more, her furred skin vanishing under the water as Dran sits near a tree, knawing at the rabbit he apparently found on the return journey.

"You look better." She announces as she appears above the surface, "Wounds hurt."

[TristenC]

Katten returns to find the others relaxing and mostly healed up. Nocturno is trotting his mule around, which has apparently grown wide wings like those of a buzzard in the meantime!!!

[Katten is mostly healed now, i think Nocturno has 1 CMW spell left that might top her up if he has a mind to offer it]

Linar casts Cure Light Wounds on Katten
[1d8]=7, Katten is healed for 7, [30/39 hps]

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull

Thanks the companions for the healing and walks around trying to work the stiffness from his limbs and torso. That was a close one there. Thank you all for the healing and recovery. I am seeing that it is time for me to find some armor to protect myself and maybe a ranged weapon to strike from a distance before closing to kill. Does anyone have spells they would be willing to share? Being alone in a Maze doesn't allow for many spells to me learned and that is my greatest interest. Collecting spells for my own use. I am pretty good at fighting but Magic is my true love.


OOC- I am back among the living.
