Twilight of Evenstar II Game Thread

[alexander]

Jenene points two of her fingers in the direction of the rustling and prepares herself.

[celest]

Amie turns quickly aiming at the noise as Oire calls out the warning, hearing it just as he had. Her eyes wonder for a second to look at Aboriam, then move back to the possible target. Another archer, eh? Maybe I'll let my bow drop for a spell. It seems no one else it perparing magic. Better wait though, don't need to caste prematurely and waste one. I'll let this arrow fly frist if needed. Then I think Magic Missile should do nicely.

[Lylie]

Lylie reaies herslef for the whatever comes out of the foilage. Gods blease let me live long enough to see my freind again.of please. Her hands come up and take up the image of the cat people monks from the south. She keeps watch very closely on the foilage that is moving.

[eunhathes]

(Oh dear!)

Suddenly, from beneath the foliage, a dog, shaggy and lean, burst forth. Rushing into the open beachline, the animal stopped short of Oire and glanced around, sniffing the salty air. Turning on a heel and tearing off strait for Lylie. The sickly looking dog seems less intent on attacking and more intent on seeing someone familiar.

[alexander]

After the dog comes out, Jenene lowers her fingers and stands in the same place that she has been; saying to herself," I wonder if that dog has an owner, and if so, will we meet him?" After she is done talking with herself she lies her head on the end of the quarterstaff.

[gryphonpoet]

Aboriam eased the tension off the bowstring with a gentle, underbreath chuckle. But he keeps the arrow knocked.

"A laugh can cleanse the soul," he said aloud. "So now we have had our bath, we can concentrate on finding what we can."

Still smiling, he searched the ground for items that have been worked by hands.

[artemi]

(the Beach- (Beach Scene?))

Opal relaxed a little, holding her pick down by her side. Looking at the dog curiously, a thought came to mind. Didn't one of...

She walked over to Lylie, keeping an eye on the dog. Never knew what they might do, especially if they were in the wild like this one was. "Hey, Lylie, do know that dog?"

[celest]

Amie lowers her bow and smiles at the hound. She thinks for a moment as something strikes her. "Hmmm, this place, it supposed to be unihabited correct. So what is a dog doing her. Did the previous group have one? Does any one know?"

[Lylie]

"OH MY GODS!!! ROY!!" lylie neels down and starts to rub roy down. "roy wheres melidy? come on roy show me where melidy."

[gryphonpoet]

The Son of Stormwatcher raised an interested eyebrow and watched to see what the scawny remants of the dog would do. He moved to be near the spot where the animal came out of the brush. His arrow was still knocked and ready for a quick draw-and-shot, if things came to that.

(Question to the DM - Does Roy have any apparent wounds?)

[alexander]

Jenene takes her head off her staff and waits to see what Roy will do. while thinking about Roy's condition.

[eunhathes]

(Beachside)

Roy barked at and kissed Lylie incessently. The canine seemed overjoyed to see a friendly face. Completely overjoyed, the animal knocks Lylie over and continues to lick her face. Though he is leaner than before, he appears not to have been hurt.

Oire takes steps over towards the area that Roy came out of. Poking around with his broad sword, he moved some of the shrubbery out of the way to reveal a small nest-like area where the dog had apparently been sleeping. Bones of small mammals, birds, and some lizards lay scattered about almost ornamenting the location.

[gryphonpoet]

Aboriam checks the area surrounding the animal's temporary home. He looks at the dirt, paying special attention to tracks in the sandy soil and anything not normally found along a beach.

[alexander]

Jenene goes to where Aboriam is standing and says " pretty little pad," then she checks the surrounding area for any sign of any other humans, or any threating creatures. After looking for a moment or to, she goes back to the place where she was standing, she again puts her head on her Quarterstaff, thinking or saying nothing.

[Lylie]

"roy roy! boy where is melidy? show me where melidy is. come on boy please show me where melidy is." lylie petted the dog and soothed him as he asked him to find her friend.

[celest]

Amie walk up to Lylie and Roy. She takes a fig out of her bag and offers it to the animal. "Lylie?" she asks holing the fruit out to the dog, "Was Roy with the people we are looking for?"

[Lylie]

"roy was melidy's riding dog. yes she treated him like one of the family. he went with then incase there was a need for speed." lylie looks roy over one more time. she waited patiently for the dog to finish eating the fig.

[celest]

Amine thinks for a moment. "That's strange, dogs are some of the most loyal of creatures, and while a riding dog may in the long run be less loyal then a familar, they don't uaually run from their owners. Most I have heard of will stand and proctect before running. In fact I can't think of one I have heard I've read of that has run." She stands and strachtes Roy behind the ears. "It's strange, the party from the ship that breifly searched for the missing ones should have found him if he was alone by that point. I would think it would be familar with the ones on the ship because they transported him, It all makes me wonder, what circumstances made him separate from Milady, did she send him awayor what." She sighs in exaperasion. "Where's are druid when you need one. This is whatthey are good at. figuring stuff out like this. They can talk to animals and such. Gah!I wish I knew a spell that could help us. I don't think Meeka speaks dog."

[artemi]

(Beachside)

Opal crouched, slipping her pick into her belt. She gripped her thick gloves with her teeth, pulling them off and dropping them to the ground. "Maybe I can figure out what happened to him... I don't know animals too well, but I do know wounds..."

Slowly moving towards Roy and Lylie, she held her hands out, letting the dog smell her fingers. "There, there, boy... I don't want to hurt you... Just need to check you over..."

Gesturing to Lylie to hold the creature, she gently ran her fingers over the dog, searching for wounds and scars. If she could figure out what had happened to the creature, she might be able to figure out why it was away from its owner...

[alexander]

Jenene stays at her current position, lifting her head off her quarterstaff, she says nothing but keeps thinking to herself where Melidy could be.
