Flit stands for a moment staring before rushing to Beldeth and forcing the healing potion down her throat if possible.

Unfortunately it was too late, Beldeth was breathing no more.

Flit hugs the corpse, crying freely.  Few enough people had stood up for Flit in her life and Beldeth's willingness to take hits from enemies who were double-teaming Flit was not to be forgotten.

When she has pulled herself together, Flit will put Beldeth's possessions in her sack to be handed over to her band, and buries the body with as much honor as she is able, using her dagger or any other implements at hand.

Waverlin is at a loss for words. He kneels beside flit and helps dig a grave for Beldeth.

In death Beldeth had a certain serenity that she hadn't shown in life.  Perhaps she had found peace.

(( OOC: Thanks for the moving tribute Flit. RIP Beldeth. ))

"She saved my life," he said simply as he helped the others bury Beldeth.  "Her bravery will be remembered."

After the solemnities have wrapped up, he tries fishing.  The first order of business is survival, after all.

"Yeah," is all Flit can manage.

The dirty work done, Flit washes off in the lake before heading farther down river in hopes of finding civilization.  She recovers her dagger first.

Waverlin ties a cross together from sticks and vines and carves Beldeth's name across it to use as a headstone.

Following the stream it takes you to another small lake crowded by thick bushes.  (Fish if you want.) There is another stream from it wandering through the scrub.

I’ll fish.

Flit will 'stand guard' while Moordenar fishes.

You catch a skull. You throw it away
You caught a sea monster!  It's not happy with that and tried to swallow you (6 damage)


17:44, Today: Grand Master, for the NPC Sea monster, rolled 20,6 using d20+4,d6 ((16,6))

(OOC maybe that wasn't a great idea after all.  You can just leave the lakeside and it can't follow, no more fishing here unless you kill it)

Flit is definitely leaving the lakeside.  Down river!

It goes back into forest, the stream takes you to a castle, there's soldiers there.  You can rest and buy food.  They know where Radlesard is, ( The city/castle where you were jailed.) There's a road there, though it's 90 miles, away, it should take you 4 days to return (40 gold for inn stays along the way, or you can risk sleeping in the wild.) 

You found there's a friar/fence there who can sell you plate mail and two-handed swords.

We found 126gp, which covers Inns.  The statue was worth 104gp, so we have 110gp after paying for Inns, or 35gp each (34 for Flit).  She does not need Plate mail or Two Handed swords.

Flit wants to get back to Radlesard as safely as possible.

Can we pay for any of this stuff out of our warchests?  And how much is it to stay here and heal?

Your band isn't here so no using your warchest.  You could always come back with money, it'll just cost for the trip both ways (80 gp total.)  You can add to your band or character info that you know of a secret level 6 fence 4 days away.  The road should be fairly safe, but there's always some possibly of danger (I'll check for encounters.)

Healing's the same 10gp per hp.

Could I maybe borrow 60 gold from the party so I can heal up?  I’ll make good on it when we get back.

Flit thinks healing Waverin and Moordenar to full and herself to 9 is a great idea.

We could fence Beldeth’s plate mail if we had to. It must be heavy. What about renting a cart driver to get us back faster?

Or…building a cabin out here and retiring? Do we really want to go back in the rat-race for the people who tossed us down the cistern in the first place?

"I would not dishonor Beldeth's sacrifice by pawning her equipment," Flit replies.  "I have some land near town and a friend who is exploring the dungeon.  I would prefer to be there where things are familiar.  With all of us at nearly full health, we should be fine walking back."

Moordenar II agrees with Flit, especially about returning to the dungeon.

So healing Flit to 9 and everyone else full, pay for Inns for all, head back to city.

Yes indeed.

Shall we?
