On the Beach...

All the bodies where buried and the smell of cooking meat of ram and crab filled the air. As night fell and the only sound was the waves of the sea and the fire of the camp. Anstice had found a patch of wild blueberries, some perfectly ripe (enough, for herself and 2 others). Her eagle had been gone for many hour, but returned with a small ram (enough for himself and 4 others). Finally Eleni had found crabs along the beach (enough for herself and 4 others). Their was more then enough food for everyone.

OOC: Anstice, you have enough blueberries to use for spells if you wish.
Feel free to RP as much as you want, before turning in or taking watch.

Watch order for the night (if any)?

Checks for using the star?

Marching order for the next day ( if you survive the night). ;)

"I can take first, or last watch, all of the time. I'm a wizard and need my rest for regaining spells." He says to the others.

As darkness fell Aetius began taking advantage of a smaller chunk of wood and the expanse of sand to slowly start trying to map out approximate locations for this place based off the boat's destination, the placement of stars in the heavens and the point when the storm itself hit. He looked up from his scrawls occasionally to keep an eye on the rest of the group and joined when portions were being distributed but otherwise was largely focused on getting his calculations correct. When Yngvar mentioned the need for consistent rest he nodded and added, "Similar situation for myself. While I can disturb it it will mean less magic the following day and it's not recovered till things change."

OOC: Hit a 27 on Knowledge: Geography after confirming with the DM that would work too

Marching order put me wherever.

"I can take any watch" Cassandra said "Fluffy is good at keeping watch though" she petted her Wolf. "He's a lot better at it than I am. And I won't be able to do much we are attacked other than waking everyone. "

Garvarius gave thanks to his goddess as the smell of food filled the air. Eating some of the ram and crab, with a few bites of berries filled his belly and made him tired. Looking up into the stars, he noted a few constellations, but left much of the work to Aetius, who seemed to have greater knowledge.

"I can do the watch at midnight, the girl can get her sleep. Cassandra, is it? If your parents are still alive girl, I will do what I can to get you back to them. Where they on board?"

OOC: Garvarius rolled 21 using 1d20+1.  Profession Sailor.

"It may behoove us to double up some of our spellcasters on the twilight watches. Arachne will set up a space 15' wide at the tree line directly out from the fire. With some leads that will enable her to sense if they are disturbed. When stars are well out, with a few minutes I can tell if we are in the area of any maps I'm familiar with." he says as he makes a whistle and points to the trees. Clearly the spider is aware of this command.

Anstice returns from her gathering with 6 special berries. She shares what food she has with everyone else. Though Ensuring the eagle gets to eat its fill from the Ox since it is his prey. "Is anyone hurt. Each of these six berries will feed a grown man for a meal as well as heal minor cuts and bruises. Anyone that is only minorly injured can have one first. We can split the rest of the Ox, berries and magic berries among the reminder of us. For those that have greater injuries I can heal them directly. I can also make up to 4 gallons of fresh water if we need it. As for rest and watches I must do my devotions at midnight to my Goddess so I will take the watch either just before or just after that."

Anstice looks to Cassandra as Garvarius asks about her parents assuming that the women would be able to speak the tongue of nature she speaks in Sylvan, "I will not reveal your secret if you do not wish it. I would suggest you trust these people as for now it is all we have. The decision is however yours."

"These are violent mortals" Cassandra said quietly in the same language "they scare me almost as much as the slavers. They would as soon pillage and despoil the dead as slay another for glory. Have you not heard their words and seen their actions?"

"I wish to give them no excuse to see me as different. As yet another thing to exploit and despoil. I am not sure that I am safer with them than in the wilds.. But I know not where I am or how to return to my sisters. I stay with them because you are with them. And I at least trust you as you are a priestess of a Goddess that I respect."

"Which watch do you want me on?"+

Garvarius began to wear a face of confusion, as two of his newfound companions began speaking a language that he had never heard before. He had not heard many tongues, when he grew up in Sparta. Yet, since running from his homeland, and being a sailor on a ship, he has heard many languages, and although he did not know them, he knew what they sounded like.

"Anstice you speak this girl's language? Why does she not answer my questions? Is she kin to you?" A look of curiosity, more then suspicion grew on his face.
