    The Halfling

    The halfling gives a longing look at the retreating beast, but reluctantly returns to his hurt allies. Striding over, he makes a few more gestures and utters some more similar, harsh words.

    When he reaches the rest of the group, he kneels a little ways from Sedryn and raises his little hands over the man's body. He starts to steam more.

    Sheyra runs over and begins trying to strip off Sedryn's armor as best she can. It is not clear that the halfling's spell is all that effective, but he does what he can to try to cool off the searing armor.

    Meanwhile, Miles (still paralyzed) looks meaningfully at a small wand lying just inches from his outstretched fingers.

    Aeroz, Elf Expert

    Noticing the wand miles is trying to reach, Aeroz picks it up. Examining it and trying to remember when Miles had used it on him.

    If Aeroz Can remember:

    Aeroz will activate the wand and try to heal Miles and Sedryn

    If Aeroz can't remember:

    Aeroz will hand the wand over to the halfling.

    He will continue with the cooling & dampening.

    If Aeroz gives him the wand he will do any & all proper investigations into its function.

    Aeroz and the halfling fumble with the wand of cure light wounds, trying this word or that.

    Eventually, by mumbling, Aeroz seems to stumble upon the correct trigger word (or at least some semblance of the correct sound), and manages to dole out some healing to Miles and Sedryn.

    Sedryn's metal armor cools rapidly, back to normal. With another "dose" from the wand, Sedryn regains consciousness. It is another minute or two, however, before the tendriculos paralysis wears off.


    OOC: Three charges from Miles' wand are consumed.

    Sedryn (Human Cleric)

    After Sedryn recovers from the paralisys he turns to Aeroz and says "Thanks for healing me." Then kneeling facing east begins to pray, "Lathandar thank you for your aide in the belly of the plant creature. Now please heal your humble servant, that he may continue to spread your light in the world."

    Looking better Sedryn turns to the party saying "I knew that heating my armor was going to hurt, but I did not think it would be THAT bad. Anyone else need help?"

    Noticing the new faces Sedryn intorduces himself saying, "Greetings, I am Sedryn a priest of Lathandar sent by my Abbot to 'Travel toward moring and seek my fate.' Whatever that means, cryptic Abbots."

    With the end of the combat, Sheyra sits down cross-legged and begins another deep meditation, leaving the five of you to make your introductions.

    The debris regurgitated along with Miles and Sedryn appears to mostly consist of tiny bones (presumably representing rats who were unable to escape the clutches of the plant creature). A glint of metal or two, however, catches Aeroz's eye.



    OOC: Sedryn is healed back up to 19 hp. Miles is back up to 5 hp.

    With more than half of the day gone, Urve is probably too far to reach by nightfall. Darius and Achkby are invited to stay if they want to.

    With the rats and tendriculos driven away, the ruins of the inn seem like a relatively defensible place to make camp. It is said that animals and creatures of all kinds tend to avoid any area touched by a tendriculos. Judging by how difficult it is to coerce your mounts into staying within the ruined inn's walls, the legend likely has some basis in fact.

    Miles scouts out the surrounding area, while Sedryn explores within ruins. The walls are irregular, having crumbled ages ago, but on average it still stands about 6 ft tall.

    Sheyra meditates while Aeroz pokes around cautiously into the debris regurgitated by the tendriculos. There are many bones of small rodents, but there are also a few large bones, including some that might be humanoid. There are also some metal items - assorted coins (primarily copper and silver), some buttons, an ornate belt buckle, and a bracelet.

    As evening approaches, everyone gathers for a light supper.



    OOC: Please outline your plans for tonight (watch shifts, sleep, meditation, etc.). Unless otherwise specified, I will assume that heavy armor will be removed in order to sleep.

    ooc: Aeroz will take first watch, considering that he needs the least sleep out of everyone. If anyone can detect any magic within the bracelet, Aeroz will wait till morning until he goes into further investigation. Now, thats about it untill I think of something else.

    "Hey, can any of you find out of if this bracelet has any value other than being a bracelet?"
    "Aeroz bring the treasures over here and will look at them." Sedryn calls.

    Sedryn casts Detect Magic and examines the bracelet then scans the rest of the remains from inside the tendriculos looking for any magic aura. If any are found Sedryn share the information with the party.

    "I will be happy to take third watch. For some reason, I always enjoy sunrise." Sedryn says as he removes his armor and prepares his bedroll and placing his shield within easy reach if he needs it in a hurry. Then he grooms his horse and mule, eats some of his rations, quietly prays for a while, casts Cure Light Wounds on himself and goes to sleep.

    Upon being awaken for his watch Sedryn will don his armor and stand his watch.

    Sedryn studies the bracelet carefully. It is a simple silver band, tarnished (presumably from the stomach acid of the tendriculos).

    As he focuses on the bracelet, he senses a faint aura of evocation magic. As he continues to examine the object, he notices faint letters inscribed around the circumference of the bracelet:

    - A X E L A K A -.

    The assorted coins are 20 cp and 13 sp.

    The night is clear and quiet. The stars shine brightly and there is a gentle breeze.

    The first watch is uneventful, as is the second.

    However, just as Sedryn and Achkby are being awakened for their shift by Sheyra and Darius, Sheyra points out a faint moving light in the deep woods, perhaps a few hundred yards away.

    "What is that?" she wonders.

    Once everyone is awake, each of you slips out over the ruined walls and creeps carefully toward the mysterious source of light. Only Sheyra remains behind to guard the encampment and your gear.

    Aeroz takes the lead, with his excellent night vision, and the rest of you spread out somewhat behind and to the side. You make your way through scrub brush and around small trees toward the light.

    After what seems like an hour (but is likely only 10 minutes), Aeroz hisses and signals for everyone to drop down. Even those of you without low-light vision can see a small campfire burning in a small clearing only 60 ft away from your position.

    A silhouetted humanoid is sitting by the fire shivering and trying to get warm. It looks like the humanoid is trying to get the fire going using only small wet sticks. The fire is very smoky and seems to be on the verge of going out. The humanoid blows desperately on the fire to try to keep it going. He or she seems completely unaware of your nearby presence.

    Aeroz is able to see that the humanoid is a human male. He appears to be completely naked.

    The human leaps up and spins around, startled. The dancing lights flood the clearing with illumination, both partially blinding the man, and prompting him to try to cover up his privates with his hands.

    As he stands and spins, he accidentally kicks dirt onto his sputtering fire. It dies instantly.

    He cowers before you, clearly scared to death, "Please! Please, don't hurt me!"

    In the light from Achkby's spell, you can see that the man is not just completely nude, he has also seems to be badly injured - his arms, legs, and face appear to have been scratched by thorns, and his back and torso are covered with red, angry burns - very similar to those that had been inflicted on Miles and Sedryn by the acid in the tendriculos' stomach.
