    Tryntha

    Fully understanding the restraint the Captain is exhibiting, and likely only due to her vouching for the others, she pleads with the group in a desperate whisper,

    "Please, do as they wish. This is not a fight for us. We must reach Immilmar safely. The greater good is at stake here, and should take precedence over your bloodlust and bravado!"

    Khazrael

    Though he doesn't understand the captain's language, he understands his meaning, and his grin widens, displaying a mouth full of perfectly white, wickedly sharp teeth.

    Tryntha's words prevent him from cracking a joke, and he attempts to hold still--an incredible feat given the magic currently affecting him. Throughout his body, muscles constantly twitch and flex in anticipation, though to observers he appears to be shivering and fidgeting.

    I wonder where my shirt went. Every brush with death takes me one step closer to nudity...

    edit: Khazrael tries his best to stay put and lay low.

    Damian

    Damian's frustration rises with Tryntha's words, though from his hiding spot his expression is hidden to the others. Bloodlust? Bravado? Gee, here I thought I was just trying to survive...

    His grip tightens on the crossbow, peering out from his place of concealment. I hope it is out of our safety they're keeping us from these creatures. If it's for some silly Rashemi tradition, I'm going to be very angry.

    I really should have put ranks in this...guess I forgot.



    Faluil settles into the shadows of the tree and closes his eyes. The sounds of his horse being chewed and flayed seem not to have any effect on him.

    Breathe...breathe...breathe...They were trying to save everyone's lives. Those things are huge, they could have torn us to pieces in an instant. Just look at what they're doing to Norwyn.

    For an instant, he seems to lose his composure, and he glares at the Rashemi captain with pure hatred.

    No...he made the right decision, you know that.

    He breathes deeply again and settles down more securely.

    It doesn't take long for the owlbears to completely consume the horse. A few of them start to lope in your general direction, causing several of you to start to raise your weapons.

    "Hold!" hisses the Rashemi captain.

    Just when it looks like fighting the owlbears is going to be inevitable, the bears rise up on their hind legs as one and crane their necks to the north. They either hear or smell something, though none of you can detect what it is.

    Eagerly, they abandon what little is left of the horse carcass and begin trotting northward, away from the road.

    After waiting a judicious length of time, the captain signals to continue heading west toward Immilmar. He does not apologize for ordering the death of Faluil's horse.

    The Rashemi appear to have shifted their attitudes toward your party from relative indifference to near hostility, particularly towards Khazrael; yet, they have promised you safe passage to Immilmar, and so, Tryntha knows, they will die before breaking their word.

    As you trudge across the icy plain, there is plenty of time to talk. Katrin and Tiriel are fairly reserved, but Lissa and Achkby are more willing to share their experiences.

    That horseman's pretty composed. I'd have killed them all by now.

    He nods to Tirel, and remains quiet until they move away. "Oh, there they go..."

    He fiddles with his hair, probably a bit embarassed by his own zeal, and manages to stammer out a response.

    "I know they're just animals, but it's hard to run, you know? Like back at the inn, where those vampires attacked...it really galls me to see someone try something like that and get away with it. But you're right I guess--if we push our luck too far, we might just get wiped out before we can do anyone any good."

    He flashes her a trademark grin and maintains eye contact--something he hasn't ever done with Tiriel before. As the group sets out again, the tiefling chuckles and says, "Thanks for not just popping me one over the head like I know that berserker wants to."

    Khazrael relaxes as the spells run their course and his body returns to normal. He pays close attention to the halfling and gnome's stories, and is a bit overcome by what he hears.

    They've lost so much, so many friends...

    Lissa and Achkby's story passes by Damian with what looks like quiet indifference - while he doesn't interrupt the story, he fails to show any emotion to the tragedies and difficulties that the group had faced. Walking up near the front of the group, his eyes frequently glance towards the Rashemi captain.

    He resettles his crossbow on his back, and shifts the locations of his daggers slightly, attempting to offset his nerves and frustration. During a lull in the story, he glances over towards Tryntha. "This trip would be much more pleasant if I didn't feel we were closer to prisoners than escorted guests."

    Retay, human barbarian

    Retay looks devastated when he, rather belatedly, realises the Wolf Lodge members were not intending to fight the beasts. As the group moves on, he retreats inwards, becoming even less talkative than his norm.

    As the party moves onwards, he hovers around the outside of the group, listening to the quiet chatter. Within a few minutes, he is gazing at the short ones, Lissa and Achkby, with what seems to be respect...

    "I never thought," he says eventually, "that you had been through anything like that. Even the Heroes haven't been through that much."

    Inside, Lissa and Achkby's tale does shock and impress him a little; but the only emotion he shows is anger towards the Rashemi warriors. His resentment towards them is growing - Not fighting, ordering them about, and now it seems they're angry towards the group.
    Why wouldn't they let us fight? Where's the problem with a bit of killing now and then?

    Katrin listens in to Lissa and Achkby's tale. She had heard it before (Lissa always being more than willing to chatter) but she enjoyed hearing the tale again, as it distracted her from thinking about her hated 'condition', something she had been doing more and more recently.

    When the tale was over, she began thinking again. Maybe I should change myself again... it's been a while... She sketches quick mental pictures of possible new disguises.

    The Rashemi priestess releases the breath she had been holding as a long sigh of relief. Nodding her thanks to the Captain, both for his expertise and his patience she readies herself to continue their journey.

    She listens intently as the others discuss their pasts, interested to learn more of these outlanders.

    The Rashemi apparently feel no compulsion to explain themselves. Even Tryntha can only guess at their thoughts. Though she too is Rashemi, she has not spent much time with members of this lodge, nor with elite fighters in general.

    It occurs to her that the Rashemi were not afraid of the owlbears, but were rather loath to slay them. The owlbears were not the intruders here. We were, she thinks to herself. Being Rashemen-born herself, she understands that wild animals, even magic ones, native to this area are generally neither good nor evil.

    Had the party clashed directly with the owlbears, certainly either one side or the other would have been annihilated, with almost certain casualties even on the "winning" side.

    Instead, a horse was sacrificed so that further bloodshed could be avoided. She can understand why the Rashemi seem look upon Khazrael's actions with distaste. His gleeful attacks on the owlbears likely bordered on sadism in their eyes.

    Tryntha realizes that the more time she spends with the foreigners, the more she is able to see things from their point of view.

    ...

    You spend one more night outdoors under the crystal clear night sky. You will arrive in Immilmar tomorrow, the captain advises. He looks Faluil, Grynde, and Khazrael in the eyes individually, as if challenging them to say something or to do something ...

    He remembers Tiriel's words, however, and avoids further contact with the captain.

    The Rashemi woman floats in an out of the storytelling as her own thoughts intrude on her mind,

    I must not lose sight of what it is to be Rashemi while trying to connect with these outsiders.

    Once the march is halted, the healer will make sure no one is having any adverse effects from the cold. If anyone is having particular trouble, she will give them magical protection from the elements.

    [ooc] She has 2 Endure Elements memorized, if anyone asks, they will go to the first two people to request it. [/ooc]

    Once everyone is settled, she will again call upon the land to provide nourishment for all of them. There is more than enough porridge, bread, and water, and while it is filling it is not terrible appetizing or tasty.

    Holding mostly to himself for the evening, when the Rashemi captain stares down the trio, Damian's eyes narrow in disgust. Nothing any of the three did previously struck him as wrong - more like self-preservation. It wasn't as if the captain's amazingly communicative style had clearly told them that they would be able to avoid the conflict by hiding in the copse.

    When the captain's gaze drifts away from Khazrael, Damian wanders over and quietly mutters to him. "I don't think he likes you, Khazrael."

    Katrin sits off to the side of the group, in the shadows cast by the fire. She opens her pack and takes a wooden case from the top of it. I love this Handy Haversack... I used to have to shuffle around for hours whenever I wanted something out of my pack...

    She opens the case, which is full of small jars, pouches, and other containers. She selects a few, closes the case, and puts them on top. Then she pushes back her hood and unties the band holding back her hair. Perhaps it is just a trick of the light, but when let down, Katrin's hair seems lighter than it had been...

    Katrin spends about 30 minutes completing her disguise. When it is done, she calmly packs her supplies and comes to sit by Tiriel.

    She looks almost completely different from her prior appearance. The scar across her cheek is gone. Her hair is several inches below her shoulders, blonde, and curly. She has the thin face and high cheekbones of a woman from the North part of the Sword Coast. Her eyes are still a striking green.

    "Call me Anika."

    Tiriel

    Tiriel shrugs when Khazrael suggests that they might have been pushing their luck. In her opinion they'd left the land of "luck" long ago and had entered a far less forgiving place. "All I know is that it's usually best to listen to the natives when visiting a new place. For all we know that's their sacred animal or something.
    From now on, please try to show more... restraint before attacking whatever pops out of the snow.
    "[hr] Tiriel listens to Lissa and Achkby share their story with their new companions. Only occasionally does she contribute to the tale. The more recent events, the loss of many of their companions to the fish monstrosities (aboleths, she remembers Trinark calling them), and their separation from Callos, Aeroz, Elthan, and Trinark put her in a foul mood.

    She is well aware that outsiders might have seen her choice to press on as either selfish, cold, or cowardly. But there had been little choice. When it came to matters of the mind and of magic Tiriel was no expert - and those who knew about such things and had recognized the monsters in the underdark, had urged everyone to flee. Someone had to warn the East damn it all, and though she feels remorse for leaving her friends, she knows that had their places been reversed, they'd (hopefully) done the same.[hr]
    Tiriel sighs with relief when Kahzrael does not rise to the captain's baited words. She wasn't above knocking someone out to avoid trouble, but she sincerely hopes that it doesn't come to that.
    Tiriel is visibly startled when an unknown blond woman comes and sits beside her. It takes her a moment to place the voice, after all tt'd been a long time since Ginerva/Katrine/Anika had done this. So she smiles at her friend. It was nice to know that somethings, no matter how odd, never changed.

    Damian chuckles at Khazrael's response. "I wonder, if they had been with us when that frost beast attacked, would the members of the caravan who were ripped in two had to have asked permission before they attacked? Or would our good captain have considered them acceptable sacrifices for it as well?" A bitter grin crosses his face.

    "I certainly hope the rest of the trip is less eventful. For one thing, we're out of horses. Which means that the next thing they'll sacrifice could be one of us."

    He chuckles heartily and looks over to Khazrael again. "Maybe I shouldn't be standing so close to you, then!"

    Faluil

    The wood elf managed to compose himself fully during the rest of the day, and when the group made camp he had shifted from barely-contained anger to an acceptant calm. He had had some good times with Norwyn, but the horse was destined to die long, long before him. Given his penchant for rough adventuring, likely sooner.

    And they did not make it slow or painful…

    He realized.

    They are woodsmen, like me. They know the land, and they know the creatures that stalk it. If anything, it was my more eager comrades’ faults for Norwyn’s death, though the blame is irrelevant now.

    Later, when the captain glares at him, Faluil is taken aback.

    Wha-? Have I offended them somehow? If anything, I should be glaring at the…no…I get it. What Tiriel was saying. These men are woodsmen, tuned to nature and all its glory. I should be apologizing for my erratic and irrational behavior.

    The wood elf stands when the captain glares, and walks to him…and then performs a sweeping bow.

    ”Sir…forgive my earlier actions. I acted without thinking about this land, and though only of my own grief. I understand that my horse’s death was necessary to prevent not only our own bloodshed, but also the bloodshed of the creatures of this land. Only now do I realize that I would have done the same if we were guiding you in my homeland of Cormanthor."

    He stands back upright and looks squarely at the captain, neither smiling nor frowning.

    At first the Rashemi warrior purses his lips at Faluil's sweeping bow as if he finds the elf's extravagant gesture somehow distasteful, but Faluil's words strike the right conciliatory tone, and the captain grunts and nods. And with that, any irritation seems to dissipate (at least towards Faluil).

    ...

    After an uneventful night, you prepare for the final push to Immilmar. After traveling so long, it seems almost hard to believe that your destination lies only about 12 miles away.

    The Rashemi, surprisingly, seem to be in good spirits in the morning, perhaps eager to return home after a long tour in the wilderness. By mid-day, however, something seems to be bothering them. They seem more tense and are even more taciturn than usual.

    The captain confides in Tryntha, Something is wrong. We should have encountered one of the outer pickets by now. She relays the captain's concern to the rest of the party. Weapons are drawn, and the party proceeds forward more carefully.

    A whistle from one of the forward scouts causes the rest of the Rashemi to rush forward. You follow them and soon arrive at a small wooden fort - a Rashemi guard outpost.

    The gates have been battered down. All is quiet from within.

    Khazrael

    "Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me..."

    A few practiced gestures grant Khazrael a sudden (and familiar) shift in form. He sinks to a stooped and bowlegged posture, and moves about with greatly enhanced speed. Not wanting to be the first one through the smashed gates, he moves about somewhat like a cockroach, impatiently waiting for someone to move through.

    "Valentine couldn't have gotten here ahead of us, right?"

    Retay, human barbarian

    Retay casts a suspicious look towards Khazrael, then looks to the rest of the party for a cue to enter.

    He stands at the front of the group, axe in hand, watching and listening for even the slightest movement.

    "This doesn't feel right," he murmurs, unnecessarily.

    Faluil

    Unnerved, the elf moves cautiously through the snow, trying to stay hidden while moving with the group.

    His bow is nocked, and he listens intently for any sign of danger.

    Damian

    I knew it. Of course it couldn't be easy. Seeing the sudden danger, Damian moves closer to the front, glancing at the captain and the others, keeping his voice quiet. "Maybe it would be best for some of us who are able to stay hidden to scout inside. I'm pretty sure I could get in undetected, and if my guess is right, and she's willing," Damian's brow furrows slightly, trying to remember the new name, "... Anika is easily my equal or better."
