[19:40:51] * +Regan says "Hey guys, if you don't mind, keep a look out for my Longbow, it's black ash, and my quarterstaff. It's black with silver runes. And my horse, of course"
[19:42:12] <+Daine> ::Glances at Regan, huffs to himself, and pulls the hood of his cloak down over his face as he settles in for some sleep::
[19:42:27] <+Llanth> "Guards?"
[19:42:39] * +Taenor snores slightly, his leg twitching and kicking daine.
[19:43:39] <+Llanth> "Guards?"
[19:44:13] <+Llanth> "HEY! GUYS!"
[19:44:32] <+Daine> ::Sighs and pushes his hood back. Slaps Taenor in the leg as he stands::
[19:44:34] <+Regan> "I'll watch for a bit" regans says as he walks towards the cave opening..
[19:44:40] <+Mark> "
[19:44:54] <+Mark> "Can't we just ward? We have done it every other night."
[19:45:30] <+Daine> "Let's just ward it and be done, so we can all get some sleep. This time we should be rested well enough to wake at dusk."
[19:45:30] <+Llanth> "That as may be, but lets do it before everyone falls asleep?"
[19:46:29] <+Daine> "Let's share in it and share in the energy needed for it."
[19:46:52] <+Llanth> "Mind explaining how that's done?"
[19:47:26] <+Taenor> "Huh? What?"
[19:48:25] <+Daine> ::Stares blankly at the two for a moment:: "Sometimes I forget I'm the only one of us that studied under an Anadari before coming into the desert."
[19:48:37] * +Mark chuckles
[19:48:43] <+Mark> "Might want to remember that."
[19:49:49] <+Taenor> "It might help, heathen."
[19:50:01] <+Regan> "Wouldn't it be prudent to use old fashioned lookouts?" Regan mentions
[19:50:12] <+Daine> "Stand with me, link hands to help focus the energy, open your minds and allow our energy to mingle and flow freely between us. One of us will have to guide the energy, preferably the one best at making wards."
[19:50:34] <+Taenor> "Easier to make wards and sleep, regan."
[19:55:49] <+Daine> "Come link hands. Who will shape the energy. I am not the best of students and not the worst in the area of wards."
[19:56:00] <+Taenor> roll 5df+ for creating the wards
[19:56:01] <+BoxCars> Taenor rolls 5df+ for creating the wards and gets (-)( )(-)(-)(+) Mediocre
[19:57:31] * +Mark does as Daine siad
[19:58:48] <+Mark> "I can make shields, but no wards."
[19:58:49] * +Taenor links his hands with the others, at the same time linking his mind, and draws a little upon each, setting the wards upon the cave entrance to block out intruders.
[19:59:19] <+Llanth> "This cave have another exit?"
[19:59:27] <+Taenor> "Does that meet our needs to everyone's satisfaction?"
[20:01:00] <+Daine> "Shoddy work pagan."
[20:01:09] <+Daine> ::drops his hand::
[20:01:36] * +Regan rolls his eyes "Let's get some sleep."
[20:01:37] <+Daine> ::Turns to Llanth:: "No one's checked."
[20:01:39] <+Taenor> "As if you could have done better, infidel."
[20:01:40] <+Mark> "Good enough for me."
[20:02:24] <~Bynw> *Caime* "Would you please just stop arguing for once" *leans up against the wall and closes his eyes again*
[20:02:25] <+Llanth> "And is that thing air tight?
[20:02:53] <+Taenor> "It let's some air in...enough."
[20:03:05] <+Llanth> "Great."
[20:03:20] * +Regan leans against the cave wall and slumps down slowly.
[20:03:37] * +Taenor lays down again and sleeps.
[20:03:45] <+Llanth> "So we have just walled ourselves in, with the unknown at our backs?"
[20:04:23] <+Taenor> "Would you like me to extend it to our hindends, Llanth?" *without opening his eyes*
[20:04:47] <+Llanth> "Or we could see what is back there."
[20:05:09] <+Regan> ::Regan gets up, conjures a silver ball of handfire.:: "Fine, I'll tae a look."
[20:05:24] <+Mark> "Have fun with that. I am going to folly Caime and sleep."
[20:05:56] * +Llanth draws his longsword.
[20:06:05] <+Llanth> "Lets see what we find then."
[20:06:23] * +Regan walks slowly towards the back of the cave, a knife it one hand.
[20:06:52] * +Regan nods to Llanth
[20:06:53] * SergiusMaximus has joined #teara-adan
[20:08:46] * +Llanth leads the way.
[20:09:04] <+Regan> roll 4df for perception
[20:09:05] <+BoxCars> Regan rolls 4df for perception and gets (-)( )(-)(+) Mediocre
[20:10:55] <+Llanth> Roll 5df for perception
[20:10:55] <+BoxCars> Llanth rolls 5df for perception and gets (-)(+)(+)(+)(+)
[20:12:57] <+Regan> ::Regan turns to Llanth:: "Nope, no back way here."
[20:13:57] <+Regan> "Shall we get some sleep?"
[20:14:11] <+Llanth> "I suppose we shall."
[20:14:45] * +Regan returns to his space at the wall and slumps down....again.
[20:15:14] * +Regan nods off
[20:15:49] <+Daine> ::Slumps onto the make-shift bed he created of leaves earlier and pulls his cloak's hood up and over his head, nodding off::
[20:16:19] * +Llanth puts his sword away.
[20:16:34] * +Llanth looks for a suitable rock.
[20:18:41] <~Bynw> *late afternoon .... *
[20:19:32] * +Regan opens an eye and looks around yawning
[20:19:58] * +Mark begins to stir
[20:19:59] * +Llanth opens one eye.
[20:20:06] * +Llanth looks around.
[20:20:31] * +Taenor kicks Daine to wake him
[20:20:55] <+Llanth> "That was not needed."
[20:21:04] <+Taenor> "Time to move, heathen."
[20:21:16] <+Regan> "Morning Llanth." Regan says in Larethian."
[20:21:17] <+Llanth> "If you do that again, you will have a fight with me."
[20:21:42] * +Mark sighs as he gets up
[20:22:18] <+Mark> "Why does everyone argue? Aren't we supposed to learn from each other and what not?"
[20:22:41] * +Regan raises an eyebrow at Llanth"A bit touchy today?"
[20:22:45] <+Daine> ::Opens his eyes and glares up at Taenor:: "I expect nothing less."
[20:22:45] <+Taenor> "What quarrels i have dont concern you, elf."
[20:23:39] * +Regan eyes Taenor and says "None of us should be quarrelling right now."
[20:24:00] <+Regan> "Or kicking others while they sleep"
[20:24:31] * +Llanth moves to standing in a fluid motion.
[20:25:02] * +Regan stands and twists a kink out of his back
[20:25:48] <~Bynw> *Caime is last to get up* "It's still light outside."
[20:25:49] <+Taenor> "He is part of me as I am of him. Leave it be. My companion and I quarrel as a matter of form and a way of working out our differences. Now shall we move on before I have to beat the understanding into your feeble mind, elf?"
[20:26:38] <+Llanth> "You sort of understanding shall never enter my mind though death may take me in the attempt."
[20:26:49] <+Regan> "You'll have to go through me first Taenor." exclainm
[20:26:59] <+Mark> "
[20:27:11] <+Llanth> "Though I assure you, you'll not have an easy time of it."
[20:27:14] <+Mark> "How about this. No one fights."
[20:27:20] <+Mark> "And we go on our merry way."
[20:28:03] * +Regan looks at Mark for a moment then chuckles. "You're right Mar"
[20:28:13] <+Regan> *Mark*
[20:28:34] <+Llanth> "I have advocated that from the beginning, Mark."
[20:29:26] <+Taenor> "Leave it be, Llanth. You remember when we were made to be companions. Now let us continue before either of us makes a mistake based on rash decisions."
[20:30:01] * +Taenor turns and gathers his satchel,weapons, and cloak
[20:31:12] * +Regan grabs his staff and shakes his head "It's just not the same."
[20:31:40] <+Daine> ::Just shakes his head at the lot of them quarreling and says nothing, but a yawn::
[20:31:55] * +Llanth checks his weapons, and redies himself to travel.
[20:32:09] <+Regan> "I'm ready"
[20:32:55] <+Mark> "As am I."
[20:33:03] * +Taenor lowers the wards and steps to the side of the cave entrance, casting out with his senses to see what, if anything is there.
[20:33:12] <+Daine> ::Grabs his gear and rubs the stubble now coming in on his head and face. He stands and takes a drink from his water skin:: "I am ready."
[20:33:32] <+Taenor> roll 4df for casting
[20:33:32] <+BoxCars> Taenor rolls 4df for casting and gets (-)(+)(+)( ) Good
[20:34:14] * +Taenor raises one hand, motioning for them to wait.
[20:35:16] <+Llanth> "Yes?"
[20:35:23] * +Regan stops in his tracks slipping the knife back into his hand
[20:35:40] * +Mark sighs as he stops
[20:36:31] * +Llanth unslings his bow and draws an arrow.
[20:36:40] <+Taenor> "Nothing. Heathen, would you mind confirming?"
[20:38:08] <+Daine> ::Sniffs at Taenor and walks past him into the dusk light and stretches, as he passes Taenor he mutters in Valmari:: "I understand your hesitance. Let the strong lead the way."
[20:38:23] * +Regan rolls his eyes at yet another "Heathen" remark...
[20:38:43] * +Mark follows Daine
[20:38:49] * +Taenor stays silent, and stays close, his sword drawn.
[20:39:05] <+Regan> "Bloody hell" Regan mumbles
[20:40:52] <~Bynw> *the mountain air is cool but as the group heads for the desert the cool air will lessen. for even at night the glass desert is warm*
[20:41:59] * SergiusMaximus has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[20:43:00] <+Daine> ::glances over his shoulder to make sure the other are following, then checks his pistol chamber by chamber as he walks out onto the desert. He flips his hood up, pulls a thin cotton kerchief over his mouth and nose, and pulls on a pair of goggles to protect his eyes. The goggles narrow his  vision to slits to keep his eyes from getting sunburned from the glare off the glass::
[20:43:47] <~Bynw> *it will be about an hours hike to the desert from the mountain cave and then crossing the desert itself to the tri-sun fortress*
[20:43:51] * SergiusMaximus has joined #teara-adan
[20:44:09] <+Regan> "Remember guys, keep a look out for my stuff.....err please"
[20:45:09] <+Mark> "Sure thing."
[20:45:21] <+Daine> ::Over his shoulder:: "If I see an owl bear with it I'll let you ask him really nicely for it back."
[20:45:46] <+Regan> "Thanks, I think"
[20:46:42] <+Daine> "Though I've heard Owlbears prize horse meat above all others. I wouldn't expect yours to return."
[20:47:12] * +Regan walks away from the others and looks in the underbrush, searching...
[20:47:39] <+Llanth> "Do you recall any landmarks where you traveled?"
[20:48:02] <+Daine> roll 5df+
[20:48:03] <+BoxCars> Daine rolls 5df+ and gets (+)(+)( )(+)(+) Epic
[20:48:13] <+Regan> "Yes, but then again I was running for my life..."
[20:49:18] <+Daine> ::Stops and kneels::
[20:50:03] <+Daine> ::Raises his voice to be heard:: "I've found your bow Regan."
[20:50:22] * +Regan looks over at Daine while still searching the brush
[20:50:59] * +Mark walks a bit ahead, and then waits for the others
[20:51:08] <+Regan> "You did? Great!" he says while walking towards Daine.
[20:51:27] <+Daine> ::Stands back with a stoic expression. He holds a broken ashwood bow in his hands::
[20:51:54] * +Regan stops dead
[20:52:03] * +Llanth winces.
[20:52:48] <+Regan> ""Regan bends over and puts his hands on his kness a shakes his head in frustration
[20:52:54] <+Regan> ::
[20:53:39] <~Bynw> *the bow looks like it got trampled. its not serviceble but an expert bower could fix it*
[20:54:02] <+Llanth> "Perhaps we can get it fixed."
[20:54:33] <+Regan> "Well, that's okay, I'll see what I can do with it. I do appreciate it." he says as he takes the bow from Daine
[20:54:35] <+Daine> ::Looks genuinely concerned as he gazes at Regan:: "I am sorry. The loss of a warriors weapon is a hard blow."
[20:55:22] <+Daine> ::Hands over the bow and begins walking again::
[20:56:14] <+Regan> Regan returns to the underbrush and begins poking around with his bow..
[20:57:42] <+Taenor> "As one accustomed to hardships, I understand the loss of a weapon, Regan. We will see if we can find a bower to repair it. Perhaps the masters will know of one."
[20:58:19] <+Regan> "I can do it"
[20:58:25] * +Taenor follows his companion again
[21:00:02] <+Regan> roll 8df+ for perception
[21:00:03] <+BoxCars> Regan rolls 8df+ for perception and gets (+)(+)( )(+)(+)(+)(+)(+) Epic
[21:00:32] <+Llanth> Roll for perception 5df+
[21:00:44] <+Llanth> Roll 5df+ for perception
[21:00:44] <+BoxCars> Llanth rolls 5df+ for perception and gets ( )( )(+)(-)(+) Great
[21:01:53] <~Bynw> *the group spends until near sundown looking for Regan's lost equipment and only finds his broken bow*
[21:03:13] <+Daine> ::Simply stands and waits for the others to finish their futile searching::
[21:03:46] <+Daine> "Can we continue now?" ::begins walking out towards the desert::
[21:03:56] <+Mark> "Thank you, Daine."
[21:04:01] <+Taenor> "I am sorry we couldnt find your staff, Regan. Let us move on, for we will need all the time we have to get to the fortress."
[21:04:14] <+Llanth> "I suppose that we are expected back."
[21:05:04] * +Regan kicks the dirt in frustration. "Okay, I thank you all for the help though."
[21:07:50] <~Bynw> *the group makes good time reaching the desert, as well as crossing it. the sands for once are in their favor
[21:09:08] <+Daine> ::Walks into the courtyard of the tri-sun fortress, pulls down his scarf and eye wear:: "It's good to be home."
[21:09:28] <~Bynw> *it is just before dawn*
[21:09:32] * +Llanth looks about.
[21:10:13] <+Taenor> "For once we agree, heathen."
[21:10:28] * +Regan looks around
[21:10:36] <+Daine> ::Pulls back his hood and continues on to enter the fortress proper and find the common room. He yells up at the inner keep:: "Master Michon! We are home."
[21:11:29] * +Regan shakes the sand off his clothes
[21:12:28] * +Mark gets the sand off of what he can
[21:12:34] <~Bynw> *the door opens as Master Michon emerges from the keep* "Excellent. You all need rest. I want a full report later. Today you all have 'off'. Spend it in studies of your own choosing, if any."
[21:13:52] * +Llanth wanders to the eastern wall to meditate while watching the sun rise.
[21:13:55] <+Regan> "Thank you Master Michon. I could use a little 'off'"
[21:14:39] <+Daine> ::Nods to Michon::
[21:14:41] * +Taenor goes and sleeps after bowing his respects
[21:15:03] * +Mark bows and heads off to rest after the night long trek
[21:15:16] <~Bynw> *Michon sees the bow* "I take it that is yours? It's in sad shape Regan. Maybe Nym knows a bowyer that can fix it, unless Llanth has such skills."
[21:16:20] <+Regan> "Actually, Master Michon, I have been making bows like this all my life." he says with a smile
[21:16:38] <Spunky> ::The sound of large wings beat the night air from the courtyard, followed shortly after by a loud thump as if something gigantic has dropped to the earth::
[21:17:24] * +Regan pivots towards the sound and crouches in a defensive position
[21:18:51] <~Bynw> *Michon looks up in thought and easily senses the presence of his master* "Master Nym has returned to us."
[21:19:06] * +Taenor rolls out of bed, raises his his sword to a ready position.
[21:19:18] * Spunky is now known as Nym_Gibran
[21:19:33] <~Bynw> *Caime went straight to the dorm rooms to rest*
[21:19:56] * +Regan eases his stance, but is still wary..
[21:20:43] <Nym_Gibran> ::Enters the keep, with the apprentice Tara at his side. Out of character for him, he is smiling::
[21:21:16] * +Taenor sheathes his blade and walks to where Nym and Tara have arrived.
[21:21:59] <Nym_Gibran> ::Spots the apprentices  that have yet to retire and nods. He hooks his thumbs in his belt in his typical fashion:: "Good evening students."
[21:22:01] * +Mark decides to wait until Nym explains his exploits before heading off
[21:22:21] * +Regan follows, but stays back in the shadows....
[21:22:22] * +Llanth starts heading back to the courtyard.
[21:22:36] <~Bynw> *Michon bows at the waist* "Master. I have news for you that must be shared." *he outstreaches his hand to initiate a physical link*
[21:22:46] <+Taenor> "Good evening, master." *with a bow*
[21:23:08] * +Regan stays silent
[21:23:59] <Nym_Gibran> ::Bows to Taenor and Michon. He raises an eyebrow at Regan, but simply takes Michon's outstretched hand and opens himself to him::
[21:26:32] <~Bynw> *Michon uses the physical link and enters into a quick Rapport with his master and shares with him all of the events of the past week and a half since Nym left. The arrival of Regan, the medallion he carries, the owlbear attack and that the apprentices have just returned with fresh readings of the area. And of young Dennis Idges fate*
[21:27:46] * +Taenor thinks for a moment, then speaks. "Master Michon. Has there been any change in Dennis?"
[21:29:02] * +Regan listens intensly
[21:29:05] <~Bynw> *Michon comes out of his Rapport with Nym* "No Taenor. His condition hasnt changed. We may have to move him to a healer schoola"
[21:30:08] <Nym_Gibran> ::His eyebrows crinkle in thought for a moment:: "Where is our guest now? This Regan?"
[21:30:22] <+Taenor> "With your permission, and both yours and Master Nym's assistance, I'd like to try one last time before we decide anything."
[21:30:25] * +Regan steps forward
[21:31:05] <+Regan> "I am Regan, sir." he says with a slight incline of his head
[21:33:36] * +Regan eyes Tara from askance
[21:35:33] <Nym_Gibran> ::He turns to Regan and bows his head quickly, he cuts to the point:: "It was wrong of Apprentice Idge to take the medallion, you can not be blamed for what happened to him. I only hope he will recover to learn from his mistake. I extend you our hospitality, please be our guest. I am sorry for your loss."
[21:36:37] * +Regan likes what he sees and give her a slight smile and bow then returns to Nym and says"Thank you sir."
[21:37:33] <~Bynw> *Tara squints her eyes in the early dawn light watching Regan*
[21:37:51] <Nym_Gibran> ::He raises an eyebrow at Regan's glance to Tara, but only chuckles to himself:: "Naked violence of this kind can not be tolerated. I will have my students look further into this matter."
[21:38:02] <+Regan> "I do wish it returned though. It is a family heirloom."
[21:38:25] <Nym_Gibran> "You say your village sustains itself primarily on logging the local area?"
[21:38:51] * +Mark heads to sleep after listening to a bit of the conversation and gleaning nothing utterly important from it
[21:39:09] <+Regan> "Yes, we trade often, but not with much more than lumber."
[21:39:19] * +Daine has quit IRC (Quit: The computer fell asleep)
[21:39:19] * Nym_Gibran has quit IRC (Quit: Nym_Gibran)
[21:39:22] * +Llanth walks in as Mark walks out.
[21:42:16] <~Bynw> (( hold up lets see if Nym/Daine/Kagi returns ))
[21:50:47] <~Bynw> (( thats the end for now ... dont know what happened with Kagi ))
