Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor looks for Gundrabu.

ooc: Did Kondor get any more hit points, or is he just at 2hp now?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak says, "I didn't see Gundrabu be eaten by the lizard. We should follow the path of the huntsman. Come, she is down by the river."

Kondor remains in sad shape with 2 hp, even after his brief rest and the seabird.

I mean, sure, but also nah: this game ain't fer people who like it easy!!! This is a game for people who walk ten miles to and from the game, uphill both trips, in five feet of snow - pausing only to fight and eat polar bears attacking en route!
Chuck Norris played this game, and quit because he couldn't take it!

But yeah, eventually I could use a full heal. It's been months and I miss being able to fight stuff without risking instant death.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak looks at Kondor's wounds and grimaces. "Y'thaq'a favors you with life and little else, brother. If Gundrabu has not gone to his beloved Kraken, then perhaps he can heal you."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor grins. "Aye, let's go see. Perhaps this valkyrie can explain herself - or give a reason to intrude upon our band's misfortunate journey, like a campsite or hunter's cabin so we can get a proper night's rest! Or shears for this beard, or boots for these Kimmerian feet."

Kondor heads down to find Gundrabu, hopefully with Tillak at his side.

Tillak follows.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor and Tillak grab their weapons and leave the small camp, the fire still flickering in the dark.
The path is unclear but they follow the distant sound of the water. 

[Kondor roll d6]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor and Tillak round the south ridge and see 3 figures moving in the dark halfway up the north ridge across the stream.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Are we able to make out the shape of the figures as they approach us? For example, can we discern the outline of Gundrabu?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

The figures are too far in this darkness.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor whispers to Tillak - "What happened while I've been out? When was the last you saw Gundrabu or that viking woman? I'll track them from this campsite. That's three people, so unless there's someone else who's joined us, that could be three beastmen. If it is, our cleric (and whoever, so long as she doesn't hit me in the face for no reason) will need our help. If it isn't... well, I'm ready for some answers. Let's go, but quietly."

Quietly, Kondor uses his hunter's skills and his barbarian's instincts to follow the trail of the cleric and others - hoping that it is they who are the trio, not some new threat.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

There are human boot prints leading ahead to the stream.

Sigrun is on the alert for external threats as her two charges rest, her spear ready to be brought to bear.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kondor reaches the stream and from here can make out the shapes of the figures on the hill, it's the cleric and the barbarian with the viking looming over them with her familiar spear.
