Eon: Survival at Sea.

“Damn it. Morning Leo, feeling any better”

Torla wakes and prays, preparing for the day. She released Yin from the bag before sleeping. Is she nearby this morning?

Yin is Actually right beside you Torla, she is still asleep.

Leo dosent respond brythel, He just continues drinking from the flask.

Bean awakes and mutters to himself the riddle "Let the Crimson Star guide the way, Open the unseen passage. Only Blood shines during the day."

Still lying down he stares into the morning sky. After waiting for torla to finish her morning prayers he prods her with a question, " hey torla, when is that special red sky day thing you mentioned supposed to happen again?"

Bean waits but is also intently listening for if/when leo starts to talk or when josiah stirs from his blackout.

OOC: I do not remember anything about a "special red sky day thing". ??? I tried using the search function, but it doesn't work. I searched for even Torla's name and it says there are no matches. DM, does Torla know what Bean's talking about?

Josiah has stirred awake at this time.

Torla, You have heard the riddle before and you do know of a Phenomenon known as "The Crimson Star". This phenomenon only happens once or twice every 80 years, It is when the sun undergoes a minor shift in density and heats up temporarily. It causes Heat waves all over Eon(Name of the Planet) for weeks before it is settled and goes back to normal. This time is considered Holy by most individuals of faith, In every religion it has a different meaning.

None of you have ever experienced The Crimson Star Phenomenon, The Last one occurred over 100 years ago. The Crimson Star is late in this Cycle and no one know why. Bean had mentioned this to you before Torla and this is the closest conclusion you could draw. While there is another event that turns the sky red, That event must be forced by the gods.

“Ah morning Josiah, you doing ok”

Blinking in the morning light, Josiah slowly lifts himself up into a sitting position.  He absentmindedly rubs Korrigan's neck (since she was lying next to him protectively) as he looks about at everyone in the clearing.

"What happened?"

“I’m not sure, you got mad Torla for calling you a traitor so many times, then you slumped down against the tree mentioned being tired, then you passed out. After that” Brythel takes a deep breath in swallowing a good about of dwarven pride. When he speaks up he says loud enough for Torla to hear “I made a fool out of myself demanding an apology form Torla” the dwarven man turns to Torla at this point “I’m sorry, I wasn’t considering how you felt over this, I was viewing you as being hard headed when I was myself. I hope you can forgive me so we can all escape this horrible place, together”

"She doesn't need to apologize," Josiah says slowly, his eyes fixed on Korrigan rather than anyone else.  His shoulders are sagging and he still looks worn out, in spite of the (forced) long rest.  "I've done more than enough on this island, to you all and to others, to merit anyone who ever feels like it calling me a traitor..."

Torla opens her mouth to respond to Bean when she hears Brythel's voice ring out. She looks over at the Dwarf, her voice catching in her throat at his words. She frowns as she looks at the ground. Finally, closing her eyes, she stands, her hands catching her somewhat tangled locks and pulling them over one shoulder. She stands very tall, holding her chin up, and looks at Brythel. "Thank you, Brythel. I know that was extremely difficult to say. I ... " her mouth closes for a second as do her eyes. Finally, she opens her eyes again, still looking sternly at Brythel. "I forgive you ... and I hope can overlook my ... stubbornness." She turns her face toward Josiah, but doesn't look him in the eye. "J— Josiah. I hope you can forgive me as well."

Josiah still doesn't look up to meet anyone's gaze.  An almost impossibly long moment passes before he responds.

"If I ever hope to be forgiven for my misdeeds, I certainly can't withhold forgiveness from others who've done far less."

Torla nods once a very stiff nod.

"Bean says the Captain is waiting for us north of here. Where are Imras and Tyrvan? And, where is *****, for that matter?"

“So, we find Imras and Tyrvan, then we track down the “”caption””

OOC:just checked they are but I'm pretty sure we where all alseep when they came

Hearing the talk about finding people, Josiah finally looks up and glances about the impromptu campsite.

"What about that elf woman, ***** was it?  Where is she?"

Tyrvan and Imras arrived back when everyone was already asleep.

You all hear a rustling in the trees as ***** steps threw some brush, carrying with her a long hook-like stick and multiple leaves. She dosent say a word as she kneels down next to Leo, he hands the flask to her. "Ok Regus(Leo's last name) Bite down on this and try not to scream, this is going to hurt like a *****." ***** speaks as she pulls the softly glowing dagger from the fire, Its blade is a dull red.

Leo bites down onto a piece of leather she had handed him.

Seeing what's transpiring, Josiah instantly springs to a higher degree of wakefulness, and just as quickly springs to his feet.

"Whoa, whoa, that's a bit extreme," he says quickly to Leo and *****.  He glances down at Leo's injured leg.  "Is it really that bad?"
