Ava: As you sit down to pray, channeling Larun's light into your friends, you notice that Lah'thys seems to intentionally distance herself for the duration.

Eventually your guide does come back around though, as you talk of your next moves. "It is likely the roc scared off any real threats. Scavengers may come for whatever scraps they think the bird left, but I doubt they'd be looking for a real fight. "If some of you want to find a good place to settle in while I finish this, that would be good."

Ospos looks around, "What places are better than others on this plane?"

Perception check: 19

Ospos: Looking around, you do think that the rock formations surrounding you could potentially provide shelter. You spy one particularly large arrangement in the distancethat looks promising. It looks like a fifteen minute walk from your  current location.

Ospos gets up on his feet, and looks down at Liafial sitting down to say, "Actually, over there looks as safe to me as safe can be in this plane."

Bram stands and looks at Ospos indicated destination.

"Right, well I will see if Lady Lah'thys needs any assistance."

Bram walks over to where the Vampire bounder is butchering the Roc.

"Is there anything I can do to help, Lady Lah'thys?"

Bram: Lah'thys is carving large chunks of meat from the bird's thigh with a dagger. She looks up as you walk over and nods to the pile of raw food. "Just help me take this over." Once she's filleted enough for a large carnivorous meal for the entire group, she moves to the throat and begins draining blood into a wineskin.

The rest of you find the rocks that Ospos pointed out. There is a bit of an overhang and a shallow, recessed area which would sufficiently protect the party from view.

(Let me know how you guys want to prepare for the night)

Ospos will set up the tiny hut and sleep in the hut.

Ava will eat, but before going to sleep, she will approach Lah'thys

"Good evening Lady Lah'thys, I wanted to thank you again for your assistance on our journey, as it is means much more to me than a simple assignment. I also wanted to ask, is everything alright? I noticed earlier that you kept your distance as I was treating our wounds?"

Bram helps Lady Lah'thys in carrying the food over to the new camp site.

"Thank you Lady Lah'thys, you are a most gracious host, considering, I believe, that most of this isn't really your taste in food."

Once Ospos sets up the tiny hut, Bram sets up a small fire at one edge of the dome, to cook the food.

Once cooked, Bram tastes the meat and then piles it up and casts Prestidigitation to add extra flavour. He then hands the meat out to everyone who wants some.

"I have adjusted the flavour to make it a little nicer."

At Liafial's comment, Bram looks over at him with a sardonic expression,

"Too late now, fate has been tempted, we will just have to hope it was busy and didn't hear your comment."

Bram gives Liafial a wink, before going back to his meal.

After Bram is finished eating, he will play a little more quiet music from his ocarina, before bedding down for the night.

Ospos eats the meat prepared by Bram, and after the first bite reaches out to put more on his plate.

Ava: Lah’thys shrugs. “I wasn’t wounded. And if I had been, my undeath would have restored my vigor better than your divine magic would. I will say I was quite impressed at your ability to dispel the dread that the roc’s shadow instilled in me. It’s not often that I’m scared shitless.” she says with a sly grin. 

As everyone settles in, Lah’thys starts a fire to cook the meat. As soon as it is lit, Lah’thys conjures a dome of shadow to obscure the light. The sight of the tiny hut overlapping with the darkness is quite odd, but both forms completely disappear into the shadows as night falls. Lah’thys elects to sleep just outside the hut, leaning against it and taking swigs of the bird’s blood as you all fall asleep.

The morning is brighter than normal, though there is no direct sun it seems the blanket of clouds is sheer as you wake. There is also a brisk wind blowing through the badlands, which sends chills into your stiff bodies. Lah'thys can be seen up on top of a nearby boulder, peering off into the distance.

Bram sits up, stretching his stiff muscles, before grabbing his cloak tighter around himself.

"Bbrrrr, that winds is sharp."

Bram looks around seeing Lady Lah'thys standing nearby.

"Good morning Lady Lah'thys, how are things?"

Bram looks around, in the direction that Lady Lah'thys is looking.

Bram takes out a little leftover meat from last night, and uses Prestidigitation a few times on it, to warm it up and flavour it again, before eating it and some dry rations, for breakfast.

Ospos wakes up and asks, even though he knows the answer, "What's for breakfast?"

Bram gives a short laugh at Ospos question,

"Well, that depends, on if you kept any of last nights meal or not."

Bram gives Ospos a wink, knowing the answer is most likely a "no".

"Here I have a little to share if you want more than dry travel rations. Or, you could go back and find the corps, see if there is anything edible left."

Bram grins mischievously, sharing some of what he has left of last nights meal, with Ospos.

Sitting up, Ava rustles her hair a little before standing to survey her surroundings and her companions

"Good morning all! How are we feeling this morning?"

Bram beams a smile at Ava,

"Not bad, how are you? The wind is a little cutting, but I find it somewhat refreshing. Of course, if it keeps up all day, I probably wont feel that way by the end of the day."

As Liafial gets up and begins preparing his spells, Brams eyes go wide,

"Oh you have a spell book too?"

Bram pulls out his book of shadows,

"Does yours allow you to cast spell by the ritual method like mine?"

Bram realises that Liafial is studying the spells directly and not just flicking through the book.

"Oh sorry, don't let me interrupt."

Bram goes back to finishing his breakfast, but continues watching Liafial with fascination.

"Oh that's great, maybe we could learn some ritual spells from each other, if we have anything the other doesn't."

Bram smiles enthusiastically at the idea.

Ospos listens in on Bram and Liafial and can't help but interject, "So, can the two of you cast novelty spells, like Create wonderful breakfast or Make time for wonderful breakfast or Travel in peace?"

Ospos shrugs at Liafial, "A halfling always hopes."
