Re: Altdorf by night.
ONCE THE GROUP DECIDED TO LEAVE TOWN - ZOAT/SACRED GROVE
With the wagon bound, horses tied to it, and with as many blankets, food and water you could find, you set off, briefly to the main road, past the chapel, a ruin of its former self, Walter's house and to the road leading away, filled with dirt and rocks.
A deep calm is in the air, a faint wind blows and the sun shines sparsely.
Its calm, but hardly warm and inviting.
The road aside, leading into the deep forest, the grove from where you came, is partially cleared and any cinder is gone. Left is charred grass, logs burned to a crisp and a smell of rot. It's a horrid sight, but it exposes the clear path ahead, a short walk in, passing the location of Karl's final resting place and just north east of that.
It is around here you recall the pond. The small hut, barely fitting a person, which provides sustenance and closes wounds on those harmed.(D3 wounds, must remain within for 30 mins).
The large oak tree, which Jareik recalls, remain.
The sword can be put into the same hollow opening as if per magic, it is unchanged from what has occurred.
As the sword is calmly placed, nothing happens. Not a sound.
Moving back, eyeing it a moment more passes.
Suddenly a vibrating hum begins to spread, before an explosion of light appears, blinding all near.
Those far away see the ground start to come alive, small sprouts appearing, growing at a rapid rate, suddenly becoming saplings, bushes, grass and small creeks and ponds funneling from below as if the forest awoke before you.
Jareik and anyone near the sword, notice the end result as the blindness vanishes.
The forest is regrowing itself.
Jareik feels a warmth inside. Like the sun calmly caressing his skin and any wound closing magically in an instant.
Regardless of time spent here, a long road lay before you.
OOC: I imagine that it would make sense that a new thread is made for Altdorf and the next steps, with this being the end of the current scene. Please post up until heading through the gates and with whatever actions you seek to do. Also if you need downtime each, do assume such is handed out. The thread will be made tomorrow most likely.
Also, as part of returning, completing the task, you are all rewarded 400 xp, which is to be used as part of this downtime.
