BE7s Frozen Sick (IC)

Akria’s first task before taking first watch was to make a fire with the dry wood found and she continued to maintain it as long as she could. After making the fire she paced back and fourth around the bedrolls that were facing the three tunnels. During her time on watch, she gave her bow and arrow a rest and held both her daggers in her hands ready to strike. 

After some time she hears Kitsune stir and open her eyes, grabs a blanket from an empty bedroll, sits next to Kitsune, asks her “how’re you feeling?” And very quickly falls into a meditative state.

***Everyone benefits from a long rest.  It is currently 4:30 am. Sunrise is at 6:30.***

The team finds rest by a warm fire.  Besides the dripping of water and the occasional croak echoing throughout the cave complex, you hear nothing alarming.  The night passes uneventfully.

Kitsune gives Akira a brief, appreciative nod as the fellow elf slips into her own rest.  "Like a newly sharpened blade" she whispers in response to the question, her voice finally clear.

At some point in the evening, Torvil pokes through the items here at this makeshift campsite.  If he finds any rope, he sets it aside.  In the morning he feels reenergized, a deadly sparkle is back in his eye and he seems motivated to move.  He goes over and sits on the bandit burrito, then turns as asks the unfortunate elf bandit "Where did you go from here?  Is there a path to somewhere deeper in this cave?  Where would you guys meet up, besides here?"  Occasionally bouncing up and down on the burrito as he asks it questions.  Then, for an extra layer of security, he wraps the found rope around the burrito externally, tying it off, saying "We'll be back to untie you soon.  Unless we don't make it.  So any advice that you have for us or knowledge of your little schemin' plans that would aid our survival increases the odds that you will make it out of here.  Understand me?"  When he's done with the bandit, he makes ready to depart, packing his backpack up and preparing to move.  

Kitsune leans against the cave wall as she watches Torvil wrap the elf in a fresh layer of rope.  "He’s right" she adds, "Hulil won't care if you're left behind to rot in this bedroll.  If there’s a trap between here and her altar, speak now, or stay here and pray the big frogs don't get hungry before we return."  She glances at the bandit’s face, pinned beneath the dwarf's weight, and adds with a sharp smirk "And I’d start talking quickly...if Torvil's stomach starts acting up from those rations, you’re in the direct blast zone for a very different kind of breath weapon."

Intimidation: 20

The bandit (burrito) glares at you with absolute, undisguised hate.  He nearly chews off his own tongue to prevent himself from speaking, but he is no fool; an unscrupulous walking pile of pointy eared dung, yes, but not a fool.  "Old Croaker made that last pool his home.  He is the dominant frog in the caves.  He will attack when you near the water.  Good luck, fools.  Tuck tail and run while you can, Old Croaker will eat the lot of you."
