    Trembling, the man accepts your offers of aid. Someone passes him a cloak, which he uses to cover himself.

    Sedryn had enough time, however, to observe the stranger's wounds closely. They appear to be chemical or acid burns, rather than damage from actual flames.

    When you return to your camp at the ruined inn, Sheyra offers him some food, which he greedily downs.

    Once he has warmed up a bit and eaten, he seems to calm down a bit and begins trying to explain what happened to him. He is a young man, perhaps about 21 years old, lanky and pockmarked from acne.

    "I am Corwyn of Urve. I wish I could tell you how I ended up in the woods like this, but I honestly don't know. I was hunting for rabbit in the Yuirwood, checking my traps ... I got a leg tangled up in some vines, I think ..."

    His brow furrows as he tries to remember what happened next, then shakes his head, frustrated.

    "Next thing I know, I'm lying naked in the middle of a clearing, nearly freezing to death. I tried to make a fire using some sticks, but it wasn't going very well. I'm not sure I would have survived the night if you hadn't rescued me!"

    When Sedryn points out his burns, he looks surprised to see them.

    "I hadn't even noticed! What in the lands happened to me?"

    *Miles will stand behind Sedryn while he examines the stranger. Miles will be ready to act if Sedryn is attacked or harmed in any way.*

    To Sedryn, "Sedryn, I still have one small healing spell left for today. Let me know if you want me to use it on this man."

    [OOC: After Sedryn is done examining the man, and if Miles thinks there is no danger he will cast Cure Light Wounds.]

    While the others talk and associate with the man, Achkby moves into the clearing and scans the area with his spel. While he has never really known what one should look for in a situation such as this (or, for that matter, any other unexpected situation), he has some natural aptitude for searching and getting by in the wild. Assuming nothing untoward is discovered, he'll return with the rest of the group and stand by as they interrogate and administer aid to the man.

    Achkby surreptitiously examines the clearing by the light of the full moon and the dancing lights. He finds nothing remarkable, except for Corwyn's pitiful attempt at making a fire using just a couple of sticks.

    Sedryn judges that Corwyn is indeed in need of healing, though Corwyn himself seems almost unaware of his injuries, perhaps out of shock and disorientation. Sheyra takes on almost a motherly role, despite the fact that she is his junior by several years.

    Corwyn appear to be a simple commoner. He lives in one of the poorer sections of Urve and makes a meager living as a trapper. Most villagers are wary of the dangers of the Yuirwood, but necessity forced Corwyn to take deeper and deeper forays into the dark woods.

    Aeroz sits by himself some distance away from the others fiddling with the bracelet. He closes one eye and turns away as he intones, "Axelaka!" Nothing happens ...

    Those two maps show the Yuirwood at very different distances from Vcapital, whatever it's called.

    In between bites of bread, Corwyn indicates that he would very much like to return to Urve. He seems ravenous and eats two rations worth of food.

    He gratefully accepts Sedryn's healing, then lies down, wrapped in the borrowed cloak, and sinks into a deep slumber.




    OOC: @HempRope - The second map is a bit zoomed in and shows more detail, but otherwise is exactly the same as the first. Right now, you are camped about 2/3 of the way from Ingdal's Arm to Urve.

    Then he pulls Achkby aside for a moment and whispers to them. "I don't think they live in Velprintar, earlier Aeroz was saying something about them and his halfling friend getting in trouble with the law... they seem nice enough, but still... we should be careful."

    There are only a few more hours left until sunrise. Most everyone has had enough sleep to get by, but there is a little time left for meditation or study for those who require it.

    As Aeroz plays with the silver bracelet, he tries pronouncing various combinations of the letters in the inscription. Without warning, his feet rise a few inches off of the ground, and he finds himself drifting lazily about the campsite.

    *Miles will estimate how long it will take to reach Urve tomorrow.*

    After a minute or two of experimentation, Aeroz finds himself able to control his altitude as he drifts slowly upward and downward. After a few minutes, however, the magic wears off and he gently descends to the ground.

    Sedryn looks chagrined at having mis-identified the magical aura of the bracelet the first time around, but fortunately no harm was done.

    Miles estimates that it will take about 4 hours to reach Urve in the morning. He then closes his eyes to rest up until sunrise.

    ...

    As dawn breaks, Sheyra rekindles the fire in preparation for a light breakfast.

    Corwyn awakens ravenous again, but as he eats another double set of rations, he begins to look uncomfortable. He clutches his stomach and leans over gagging. He retches twice, and vomits on the ground. Always observant, Aeroz spots a glint of gold in the emesis.

    Casually drawing a rapier, Aeroz pokes in the vomit, trying to hook the glint of gold onto the finely crafted blade. If he does not have any luck, he will try and drag it out with his boot.

    "Well, the bracelet was an interesting experience. This could be a useful little trinket. Now, lets see what's in this pile of spew..."

    I appears to be a gold signet ring. As Aeroz looks closer, he recognizes it as one of the rings given to your group by Prozen.

    Aeroz wipes the ring on the ground and pockets it. He does the same for his rapier.

    "No, I have never met this man in my life. I see you dont trust me, with good reason. The ring I have was given to me by a man named Prozen. Me, Wottworte, Sedryn and another man by the name of Lithandril were in Hlondleth when we were framed for a murder. Prozen, who was working for the queen I suspect, snuck us out of jail and put us on a ship to Venprintalar to track down the true assasin. We had to get off a little early because of Sheyra. Miles met us in Indgals Arms and offered to guide us to Velprintalar. Now, what is your story, now that I have told you ours?"

Anyway, I lived in a very small village, you would never have heard of it though. Invaders came from eastern lands and burned it, but my brother and I escaped. We... split up and I came to Ingdal's Arm to replenish my supplies after a trek through the Yuirwood, I met Achkby in a tavern there, and we watched the events that took place at the mud bowl. We set off on the path to Corth, and heard your battle with that Tendriculous thing, so we decided to help... that's pretty much it."

    Corwyn begins to tremble. He looks both confused and scared.

    "I swear to you I have no idea where that ring came from! I would never have repaid your generosity by stealing from you! You have to believe me! The last thing I remember was hunting in the woods, then waking up in the clearing last night ..."

    He begins to look a little green around the gills again and vomits a second time.

    This time, there is no gold, but you note that he's regurgitated a variety of small bones - rat bones by the looks of it.
