Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak looks at Sigurn and says, "Where does the river  where we left our companions lead to? If it is not far from our camp, then we can look for then."

Tillak speaks tobyhe barbarian. "Are you well? Thank you for facing the lizard on your own. You are very brave."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Gundrabu startles awake.

Looking around, he hops out of the canoe onto the sand, then drags the canoe up onto the strand.

Then he looks around for foliage or deadfall with which to start a fire. He has the intention to warm up. Ideally he would roast a rabbit or something similar, but he knows that is unlikely. Besides, he has to meditate with the Kraken in the Seas of the Cosmos.

When he gets time for this, he would prepare these spells:

Level 1: Cure Lt. Wds x3, Purify Food/Drink
Level 2: Speak with Animals, Darkness, Hold Person
Level 3: Locate Object x2

Upon getting a better look at his surroundings, the cleric realizes that his canoe is grinding along a sandbar under the water of the shallow stream. The stream is filled with tall grasses  and he cannot see the stream's edge. Movement is haltingly slow due to the friction of the sandbar so there's plenty of time to pray to the Kraken it seems.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Perfect!

As Gundrabu sits, wet and meditating in the center of the canoe, it seems to him that the waters of the stream rise up all around, eventually surmounting and engulfing him.

The resulting ocean in fact is the cosmos, and Gundrabu drifts, an unbreathing consciousness in its midst. Lights appear in the darkness. They are stars, suns. Gundrabu realizes that these are luminescent suckers on the arms of the Kraken, which clutches the entire cosmos.

Gundrabu falls towards a gravity well. The suckers grasp his consciousness, impressing upon his psyche the Gifts of Khalk-xu…

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

As the cleric ebbs back to his senses, he notices the sway of the grasses to his right, a hard breeze carrying the faint scent of sea.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

The wounded barbarian doesn't bring himself to reply, and Tillak can;t see that the viking will stir. 
There is movement across the animal trail 30 yards away that snaps him to attention.

Tilak spins, weaapon and shield in hand. "Hark! Who goes there?!" He looks back at his companions. "Frienda, we may have unwanted company soon. Gird thyselves!"

Gundrabu gratefully scents the sea air, but he looks for firm land.

He sits up in the canoe and looks about.

All his prayers answered, and feeling a very refreshed 32/32, Gundrabu looks toward the sea breeze, water grasses as far as he can see, but the roar of the surf feels perceived and beckons. Behind him, a ragged rock cliff, heavy treeline above. Nearby, Kondor asleep in his canoe, which appears stuck on the shallow submerged sandbar beneath them. Silent birds soar overhead in the dim red hued sky.

Tillak moves toward the sound,readying a spell in his head as he does.
