Eon: Survival at Sea.

As Bean falls to the ground, Torla kneels beside him, placing her hands on him. "All-Father!" she gasps. "Please, help him!"

Josiah has no memory of Hearing the horn before.

Josiah you eventually come back to the site of the orginal conflict. Seeing imras and Tyrvan a little distance away, seemingly okay but both are shaking their heads and standing up from a kneeling position. Brythel is by the body of the Male elf. He too is regaining his footing. You look over your shoulder to see if Leo and the other man had followed you but there is no sign of them.

"Brythel, Imras, Tyrvan, are you all okay?"

"Josiah" *sigh* look since you intervend when that giant attacked I'm just going to assume you had to kill the elf"

Imras looks up at Josiah. Where have you been?  You left hours (days?) ago!

(How long do I think it’s been sinc  he left chasing the giant?)

Imras, you are under the Impression that Josiah chased after the Giant a little over an hour ago. The same goes for Tyrvan and Brythel.

Josiah, between chasing the halfgiant and the talk with leo and Kron. You have been gone for around 20 minutes.

OOC: DM, I'm waiting for some followup to my post #1623. Torla doesn't have any spell slots, so nothing will happen, but I don't know if Leo or ***** have anything to say, or maybe you're waiting for Bean to post, but I'm thinking he would like something from you as well to shape the next part of that situation.

Ooc. Im not hurt. Thats was part of the crit fail. My gnome ness fixed that im good

Torla, as you ask for help from the All-father. You feel a hand clasp your wrist and Bean is looking at you. Seemingly fine. Leo and ***** are both chuckling a little at the display but quickly get back to business.

"On your feet, both of you. That was one, we have two more before the Shift. I promise I'll explain everything once we are in safety." Leo says as he walks upto you both, ***** following close behind him.

Bean pinches at his sinus, trying to push away the oncoming migrane from the magic blender that found his mind. "Lead the way sir"

Bean starts chuckling and tilts his head back. "Oh really, You didn't like that? I think i might he able to endure the pain again just to spite you, if you want. Hell i could find the source and stand infront of it, just for the chance yo hurt you"

Josiah's hand clenches nearly into a fist around the handle of his bow.

"You likely won't believe me, but I did NOT kill the elf!  After you all left, some demon or spirit of some sort seemed to possess him, and THAT is what snapped his neck.  All I could do was watch, and I didn't even get the answers I wanted!"

He realizes he's nearly shouting and takes a deep breath to calm down.

"Regardless, you all need to come with me.  I just ran into that Leo fellow we met yesterday, along with a man I think is your captain.  We should hurry back to them."

“You found Leo, and the caption, this is GREAT,”

Torla stubbornly follows along, taking Yin from Bean and depositing her into the makeshift bag hung around her neck. "Leo, what is going on? What was that sound? Who are these people and why did they attack us? Why do you look so different than you did this morning? And what is a 'shift'?"

Imras nods at Brythel's comment.  Where are they?  Lets go!

Torla as you take Yin in your arms you cant help but strain a little, Looking at the White furred panther cub. She is noticeably bigger, her snout is more pronounced and her tail is longer. 

Leo scoffs as he lets ***** lead you all back to where the others are. "We dont know what the Sound is, I've spent years trying to find its source to no avail." He snaps off a branch in his path and tosses it to the ground. "Torla, It's hard to explain. As I said I promise I will do my best to explain once we are in safety."  After 10 minutes he signals for ***** to stop, Leo takes a seat on a rather large  rock and starts rubbing his right leg. "Alright listen, Im only going to explain this once." He gives a odd hand signal and ***** begins walking a perimeter around the 3 of you. "Shifts are what we call a Lapse in Time, When that horn sounds off. One of three things can happen. Time Is stretched, causing you to have false memories of the last few days. Time is Lost, causing you to lose years of your life and ageing you." He references his exterior, seemingly a victim of this. "And the third, Time is Stopped. You are left to wander aimlessly until the Horn sounds again, Given that the horn sounds every 3 days and with no passage of time. You are stuck." 

Josiah, you lead everyone back to where you had Encountered Leo and Kron, it takes roughly 20 minutes of navigating the trees but you find the small clearing. As you walk into it, a little ahead of the group. You see Leo, resting against the tree where you had last seen him but no Kron. Leo isnt moving.

Torla moves over and begins inspecting Leo's leg without asking permission.

Medicine: 13

"I've never heard of this kind of sorcery," Torla says as she works. "Are you saying that you have been on this island much more than just a couple days? Have we been here longer than just a couple days, caught in some kind of magical ... ?" Her voice trails off. She glances over at ***** and then back at Leo's leg, saying under her breath, "Perhaps that explains the traitor. Or perhaps it is because of him."

"I've a feeling none have ever seen this kind of Magic, It feels different then What is blessed by the gods." Leo remarks. Torla before you even come close to the leg, you can tell something is off. The pant leg is further down and dragging on the ground, along with the lower part of the leg looking thinner then you would expect. Leo dosent stop you as you grab the lower part of his right leg and pull the pant leg up to reveal a Wooden prosthesis. Leo has lost the entirety of his lower right leg and has replaced it with wood.

Ooc: woot, temporal shenanigans and timey wimey puzzles, maybe yin aged a couple months and korrigan really is yang. Im ooc not trusting old man leo per ***** and 'boss', but who knows there might be a 4th effect that makes you go backwards in time. 

Bean shakes his head. "Wow, i cant believe what terrible wickedness  we have to experience, i blame all of this on you Foul one" bean plops back first on the ground, trying to let the ground eat some of his body heat.

Bean eyes ***** as she walks the perimeter. But addresses his first mate. "Sir, what about *****, she showed up with the group that attacked us and mentioned something about being sent to bring us to her boss, is that you?"

"Sir," Josiah calls out almost on instinct as he approaches Leo, "here are some of your crew, Imras, Tyrvan, and Brythel.  I'm not certain where Torla and Bean are at the moment, they wandered off with one of the people that attacked, so we'll need to find them."

As he enters the small clearing, Josiah is immediately suspicious of Kron's absence and Leo's unmoving form.

Perception to see if something hinky is going on: 11
