Khorden continues to look suspicous, but isn't willing to appear cowardly.  "I'll hazard the building, and woe be to th' wizard if he's given me cause to regret it."

Sword in hand and moving as though he's about to beard a lion in it's den, Khorden stumps forward into the hut.

  Kree steps over to Clair.  repeat these  words  after  me...."mol"...is  shrink...." kes "  is  Guard..."kyrn"..is grow..those  are the  words you must remember....


  He  Looks  over the area and points to a tree  near the Hut,...I will tsnad  watch  from that tree...But  first..I am going to go a bit deeper  to find  some game...I will return with in the  hour...

Bruga turns. Not alone, I hope. May I go with you?

  The  elf  smiles  slightly,..if you wish..perhaps your  sharp  eyes  might  find  some berries or tubers, if i fail to  find  meat.

Could be...could also be that we test the old adage: "I don't have to run faster than the bear; I just need to run faster than you."

  The  elf  looks out of the corner of his  eye, trying  not to laugh,...Good Bruga? If you can out run me? I deserve to be eaten...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #43):

Kree, I will not forget ("mol"... is shrink ...." kes " is  Guard..."kyrn"..is grow)
Bruga and Kree, go do your hunting, I will stand here at the entrance to the hut guarding and waiting your return with Snare. Pets Snare.
 if you do not return within 1n hour and a half, Then I will have to gather the rest, shrink this gut and find you.  quietly to the two, though I think Goseric will not be happy taking his comfy couch away :)

Upon your return, Kree you wish to guard - well if we set the Wyvern watch you may set it off or worse, something that goes bump in the night could get you if we are all tucked snug as a bug in a rug in the hut

Smiles, we will have to make arrangements then for you being outdoors upon your return.  Good hunting you two.

Thank you Bruga says somberly.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #49):

Cheer up Bruga, I will keep a candle light in the window for you.  It is Kree who wished to be outdoors all night.  Pets Snare some while watching them move out, Do not stray to far away.

   After  a half  an hour or  so, Kree's second  shot brings  down a decent  sized deer.  He takes out his dirk  and  asks Bruga to stand  watch as he  says prayers of thanks in elven, to Beshaba, Tymora and The Huntress.  Gutting the  deer he Cuts  as  much of the best meat as possible, Wrapping itin the hide. the  rest he leaves  as he calls out into the trees, My brothers....here is food  for You and your pack..Provide by the Goddesses...

  He   jerks his head towards  the  hut's direction, Come, Good  Bruga.  we do no0t wish to be here..when they come. with Luck, this will still thier  hungry  bellies, as  well as ours...It seems, i will need not, stay the watch this night...

  when the  reach the Hunt, he holds  up the makeshift sack of meat, and nods to the berries and Nuts  collect  by Bruga,...since  we have food this  nice, and I left a tribute to the  wolves...we should need no guardian outside the tent...save  for the magic one provided...now?  we needs buy cook, for  ahot meal!

Bruga obediently watches, stone in sling and another in hand.

Thanks, Clair, for wishing us well Bruga says as he lays his gatherings on the table.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #51):

Relived they are back, Clair rubs her hands in delight, Says a quick prayer of thanks to Lady Luck (Tymora) as they approach.  Smiles as they enter the hut, we have fresh water and a fire going inside, lets feast on this nice meal you two have for us.  Pets Snare, in we shall go.

Kree, when do you think we should call our magical guard?

  Kree shakes his head slowly,..i am not  a mageling, i am uncertain  if the guard  will stay   the whole of the while, or if it would disperse, if one of us should leave the hut...to be safe? I would wait  until we are  all ready for the night..then set it..

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #54):

Kree, that sounds like the best plan on that one so it should last the night for us.

Clair can use her Herbalism to try to check if the berries and nuts and such are of the non poisonous variety.

The fire in the fireplace of the hut is going Clair will find all the food is quite safe. The question onlyr emains who is staying in the hutt and who is staying outside it on the otherside of a locked door.

it  appears  everyone  is going in now, that we have game to eat, and the  bits of the  Guard thing  is somewhat known.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #57):

Agree, Kree will set the wyverin (sp) watch when he comes in as the last one in.  We shall dine at he table in the hut and rest.  Might be we still run a watch within ?

As Clair pets Snare I am game for a watch

Sighs, yes Goseric we still have to finish our game, lol

  The elf nods,..That  sounds  fine with me...you all go in , start the fire  and the  meal...when it is ready i will come  in and  set the watch...Until then, i will stand outside the hut  and keep watch

"A fine hunt me lads. Khorden says to Kree and Bruga.  If he were more at ease in the forest, he might have gone along, but he didn't move all that quietly and he was far better at taking down his foe then his food.

The Dwarf is willing to aid with cooking the meat or whatever he can do to aid in the food making, but he doesn't have any real skill at it.

OOC:  Khorden will stay in the hut for the night.

Gosric smiles, the happy turn of events for the evening lifting his spirits.  "We do have to finish that game, huh?," he says, reaching for the dice.

17:07, Today: Gosric the Full rolled 1 using 1d20. Gaming dice roll.  Ugh, Gosric's mood is about to take downward turn.  I guess better here than in a fight.

In reply to Gosric the Full (msg #61):

Clair just smiles at Goserics roll and picks up the dice and makes her roll.

OOC yup we all will take those rolls in non essential times.


21:45, Today: Clair Brandywhine rolled 15 using 1d20. gaming roll.

Ha, Goseric we are even now, one apiece - hands the dice to Goseric your turn, gets up to help with the meal Well I am not much of a cook either more handy in the healing department but I will do my best.

Gives Snare a quick pat then heads over to help.

21:50, Today: Clair Brandywhine rolled 19 using 1d20. cooking.

Yulch after a few minutes of unsuccessfully trying to boil water, Clair calmly states, err I will just make sure the berry's and stuff are fresh and healthy and stops trying to help burn the hut down.

In the end the group you manage to cook the venison to a safe point of doneness and manage something close to a berry reduction that is at least edible. Bellies now full you probably have a couple hours before bed shall call your names it is an early start in the morning.

(OOC so if everyone is in the hutt are we all sleeping in the living room area (plenty of cots here and the fireplace would keep you all warm.) or if someone wants more privacy at least to change there are three bedrooms with doors.)

  Kree will pull  his  cot near the entrance, he lays his bow and quiver ontops his pack. He draws his blades and wipes them  doing with  an olied  cloth he keeps in a small sack, in the pack. then re-sheaths  all the  daggers, But leaves the longsword out, within easy reach, should he  be awaken...

Brga easts his fill, not overlooking the backstrap meat, and helps clean up. Then he sits watching the fire, occasionally feeding it.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #65):

Clair makes sure Snare is let out to do his "business" before the watch is set then makes a spot near the fire for him and a cot for her, near the fire but not too close.  Calmly explains, in the morning I'll use a room to freshen up but at this point we might as well continue getting used to sharing close quarters in here or out on the trail/adventure, snic, if I see something I have never seen before I will just light it up for all to see, looks about as she sets up "camp" seriously when life hangs in the balance among friends, modesty comes second.  chuckles, of course Snare here can be my personal protector, pets snare n scratches behind the ear, he is soooo cute (gives the sly eye to Bruga).

Now Goseric, I am awaiting your roll.  Oh are we setting a watch in here tonight also?
