Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Votin lies where he is marked, halfway up the north ridge below the trail (taken by the beastmen and the lizard)

Gundrabu hides east along the stream where it disappears into the trees (where the lizard first emerged)

Tillak is at the canoes on the south side of the stream.

Kondor and Sigrun are atop the south ridge but on the west end between the first two trees.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak has equipped himself, so he returns to where he was carried to by mighty Kondor. He has lost track of his brother Gundrabu. As he walks back to where Kondor was, Tillak stares out across the lake at the form of the fallen barbarian. If only Ythaq'ua favored the brave, then perhaps he would have granted the barbarian favor. Tillak waves these thoughts away. If you want to thank the barbarian for his sacrifice, Tillak snarls to himself, then stay alive!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

If Kondor is unkonscious, he will hopefully rest refreshed.

Not that I know of. I use the one on Wizards of the Coast. We just go by the honor system here.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

His new ring on his thumb,, and sharpened stave in the other hand, all the excitement apparently diminishing, Gundrabu hies back to the canoes.

He means to take an undamaged one back to the spits, to loot the bodies of beastmen and search for other gear.

He also wonders about that other figure. He wonders if he is still around. If he is, maybe he needs help.

Gundrabu steps avoids the deep lizard prints in the mud, following them out from his safe position back toward the canoes.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Sigrun will step over the prone form on the ground and will look to see who is left of the ormr’s wrath.

Barbarian fallen on the far ridge.
Two men below, one directly and the other at the far canoes.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

With the ormr now gone Sigrun then rose from her crouch and slowly advanced from beyond the tree line and it’s natural cover, revealing herself to those below. Planting the butt of her spear and holding her shield, her eyes hard as the land around her, her posture was that of a challenge.

Let’s see how the two respond, she thinks.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

If he sees her, Tillak stops in his tracks. If he is with in earshot, he speaks. "Who are you? Where is my brother, Kondor? If you've harmed him, then you'll wish that the lizard had taken your life  as well as the life of the brave barbarian who feel while saving us!" Tillak begins to think of his spell while raising his shield in a defensive posture and crouching.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

If Gundrabu notices the new character, he makes no overt response, instead continuing as fast as possible to the canoes. He feels the coils of Khalk-xu drumming on the skin of the universe; perhaps, though he lacks magic for the nonce, he may yet prevent another soul from being devoured in his god’s rending beak. Of course, if the Kraken insists on the meal, so be it, but if the fallen figure could somehow be preserved, the one clinging to life may draw others into a net for a larger, future harvest.

Tillak awaits an answer from the warrior overhead.

Gundrabu arrives at the canoes. He sees Tillak at the end of the beach looking up at teh top of the ridge. The ceric heard the female's voice boom through this canyon but he cannot see her figure.
The fallen barbarian remains across the stream and up the opposite ridge.

Kondor is nowhere to be seen.
