Vulcuran: okay
DMaster: THey light them, they give off a incredible white glow, its very striking
Vulcuran: very beautiful
DMaster: the entire camp is brightly lit, like it was daylight

Vulcuran: okay I will
DMaster: you two head back into camp. Everyone is in very high spirits.
DMaster: They are all mingeling and talking...
DMaster: drinking, and nibbling on food. Even the monks are talking and enjoying the company.
DMaster: They are all around the meal tent
Vulcuran: I will let everyone have a good time just want to be alone for awhile
Vulcuran: find a place in camp protection where I can just relax
DMaster: Not really much place to go, you dont have much of a choice but to stay in the crowd, otherwise you
will be outside the protection
Vulcuran: okay well I won't do much talking just listen and look up at the sky
DMaster: There is not much room. All tents surrounding the tents and the meal tent, everything else is outside the
protection,. I guess they wanted concentrated protection
DMaster: Krinus is telling his tale of the bear hunt between you and him...
DMaster: to 3 clerics and 2 monks and some girls
Vulcuran: okay well I will just listen
DMaster: KRINUS: THen the bear roared so loud I thought my ear drums would burst, Vulcuran Strung his bow and
fired with out a flinch
DMaster: WHAM! Hit him right in the chest, I flung an arrow hitting his paw to the tree so he couldnt move, Vulcuran
then plugged one in his head, as I did too
Vulcuran: man here we go making me out to be something that I'm not I think to myself
DMaster: THe bear crumpled to the ground
DMaster: We walked up to it, but it was still alive!
DMaster: --everyone: ooohh!

DMaster: they are laughing and drinking...
DMaster: they are with about 3 or 4 other people
Vulcuran: well I am glad he is happy
DMaster: You are drinking this very refreshing herbal cold tea
DMaster: Then Krinus starts talking about the journey
Vulcuran: man that is what I need to relax me

DMaster: Pluger unsheathes his sword
DMaster: Out of no where

DMaster: They are checking us out, but I sense their fear... they will be gone by morning
Vulcuran: damn it don't do that Alyndri
Vulcuran: scared me half to death
DMaster: Alyndri Smiles AL: Sorry M'lord,
DMaster: Suddenyl they start floating and they begin to scoot across the sky away from the tents
Vulcuran: well they had better be because I am getting sick of witches
DMaster: ALYNDRI: Well now they know we are here
Vulcuran: sorry if we caused you any problems
DMaster: She walks back into her tent
Vulcuran: Well I am awake now

DMaster: You see a few trees blown over
DMaster: Ok, you are going, and you notice that no one else is following you any longer
Vulcuran: what the hell
Vulcuran: go back
DMaster: They are all huddled under this little band of trees
DMaster: Shivering and trying to dry off a bit
Vulcuran: okay I wait
Vulcuran: with them
DMaster: the storm passes, the wind ceases and
Vulcuran: okay
DMaster: the rain stops... or at least its just a drizzle
Vulcuran: can we get going again
DMaster: They all gear back up and begin walking to the west
DMaster: KRINUS: I remember them saying there is a town up ahead
DMaster: about 2-3 days north of here
Vulcuran: okay that is where we are gonna head then
DMaster: you walk for 5-6 hours, you encounter alot of large birds, smaller snakes, and a few weird looking deer
Vulcuran: cool
DMaster: but nothing harmful
Vulcuran: keep going
DMaster: ok... you happen upon more huts on the shoreline and what looks like docks and some stone buildings
DMaster: Pluger and krinus coem up to the front of the line with you
Vulcuran: we will enter this place carefully
DMaster: Ok, it looks deserted from a distance...
Vulcuran: okay
DMaster: as you approach, there is no movement apparent, or activity of any kind
Vulcuran: well we will enter it carefully
DMaster: ok its a small sized village with 2 docks out to water
Vulcuran: keep my sense sharp for any sign of movement

Vulcuran: look around
DMaster: its coming from the womens hut

Vulcuran: I said I was gonna take the first watch
Vulcuran: so that is what I am gonna do
DMaster: Ok... you relieve the one guard who quickly goes into the hut that is alive with laughter and talking
Vulcuran: I will lean up against a wall and look out into the distance
