  1. [12:24:10 PM CST] <[Cy2]> |||+++--- Chapter VII ---+++|||
  2. [12:26:08 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa is on the trail of the Wayward, trying to uncover their whereabouts after the gang of children led by Glanari proved unhelpful.
  3. [12:27:31 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne runs closely behind Sindr as she chases the girl around the perimeter of the pitch.
  4. [12:27:37 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Let's go! Keep moving!
  5. [12:28:51 PM CST] <[Cy2]> !roll d6+d12+4 Sindr Running
  6. [12:28:51 PM CST] <FeistyKaka> [Cy2] rolled: {5}=> 5+{10}=> 10+4 = 19 "Sindr Running"
  7. [12:31:27 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> !roll 1d6 + 1d12 + 2 [INT LCK] Tracking or something
  8. [12:31:28 PM CST] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Lilaa rolled: {1}=> 1 + {8}=> 8 + 2 = 11 "[INT LCK] Tracking or something"
  9. [12:35:42 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [While Lilaa goes on her search, Sindr performs adequately at her physical training, wearing down the damp grass of the training grounds.]
  10. [12:47:33 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne continues to hover over Sindr; ensuring she keeps at a pace enough to not be leisurely yet won't overexert herself. As the pair completes another orbit of the field, Hanne suddenly yells at Sindr:
  11. [12:48:02 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Halt! Enemy on your left! Get rid of him!
  12. [12:48:28 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne gives the girl a jostle from behind as she shouts the signal for Sindr to launch into her spear drills.
  13. [12:48:40 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Don't you dare drop your weapon!
  14. [12:52:17 PM CST] <[Cy2]> !roll d12+3+d6+3 Spear Attack on Air
  15. [12:52:18 PM CST] <FeistyKaka> [Cy2] rolled: {3}=> 3+3+{4}=> 4+3 = 13 "Spear Attack on Air"
  16. [12:57:09 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Lilaa's search takes her into town after the camps do not produce the stout old man.]
  17. [1:00:53 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa looks left, looks right, and continues in towards the central plaza, the locus of activitiy.
  18. [1:01:05 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne notes that Sindr's strikes begin to slow and falter from her fatigue. Nevertheless, she presses on.
  19. [1:01:18 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> He's dead! Keep moving!
  20. [1:04:39 PM CST] <[Cy2]> !roll d6+d12+4 Resuming run
  21. [1:04:40 PM CST] <FeistyKaka> [Cy2] rolled: {2}=> 2+{3}=> 3+4 = 9 "Resuming run"
  22. [1:08:10 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Sindr lets her feet lag as she turns to continue her run and as she pushes off her feet slip on the wet grass and she falls.]
  23. [1:09:14 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne sighs. She scratches her head before walking over to help Sindr up.
  24. [1:10:55 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Sindr doesn't say anything about her slip, retrieving her dropped weapon after being helped up.]
  25. [1:13:08 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> We'll stop here for today. Go get clean and rest up; we will continue tomorrow.
  26. [1:14:13 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Sindr: Alright.
  27. [1:14:39 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Sindr looks to the sky for a moment and walks back to camp.]
  28. [1:17:22 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Lilaa veritably combs through everyone in the town plaza and does not find Rodyon. She wanders further, expanding her search, until she comes to the docks and sees the woodsman at the end of one, gazing out at the sea.]
  29. [1:18:57 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa walks to Rodyon and takes a place at his side, gazing out into the ocean, trying to identify what he might be looking at.
  30. [1:25:51 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> !roll 1d6 + 1d8 + 5 [INT WLL] Looking
  31. [1:25:52 PM CST] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Lilaa rolled: {6}=> 6 + {4}=> 4 + 5 = 15 "[INT WLL] Looking"
  32. [1:27:46 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Lilaa can see with good certainty that there is nothing to be seen. Aside from the swampy mists creeping into the sea, there are no boats, there is no land; a sight not dissimilar to those of the shores of Lycora to the south.]
  33. [1:28:22 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Is bad.
  34. [1:28:53 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: What is?
  35. [1:33:33 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Nyo ships coming. Nyo orders. Army is lept here with nyo commyander.
  36. [1:34:45 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Not so bad. We live, have freedom.
  37. [1:35:14 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Libbing, that is good. Preedom, that is good also. Bored army, that is bad.
  38. [1:35:51 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Why is that?
  39. [1:36:59 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Army is por pighting. Need pood por pighting. When armies get hungry, what happens?
  40. [1:37:32 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: What happens?
  41. [1:38:17 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Army does nyot pay por pood. Will pight and take it.
  42. [1:39:12 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Then we should leave first.
  43. [1:41:07 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Should be going to pight Dominyon. But how? Nyo orders. Nyo communication. Nyo ships. Nyo one prom Coalition. Is bad.
  44. [1:44:44 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: If you want to fight, we can travel to find it.
  45. [1:48:07 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> But leabe army here? Nyot good. Coalition needs all pighters it can get.
  46. [1:49:45 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon, chuckling: You can stay with fighters who pillage food.
  47. [1:50:35 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa shakes her head, gripping her arms tighter as they lie crossed on her chest.
  48. [1:51:31 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne enters the Wayward tent and strolls over to her area; taking a sip of water from her canteen. She looks around to see who else is present.
  49. [1:51:44 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Nyo! Lilãa will pight! Will nyot stay with army pillaging land it should depend. Maybe is best to go and tell commyanders, bring back ships to claim army bepore is too late.
  50. [1:54:49 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [At this point, only the children are holding down the fort but they have moved to the outside of the tent to stand in the sun breaking through the cloudy mist.]
  51. [1:55:37 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: You can do that, but I think we should leave ourselves.
  52. [1:56:58 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Good. Rodyon is ob same opinyon. Where is pighting? West and South? Do Wayward hab enoup myoney por ships?
  53. [1:57:48 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Money for boat? We can walk.
  54. [1:58:07 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa turns her head to look at Rodyon.
  55. [1:58:09 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Is so close?
  56. [1:59:36 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Do not know, but we will find it sooner or later.
  57. [2:00:22 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa sighs.
  58. [2:00:52 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> ...Are nyot prepared por long myarch. Maybe need to buy packs and boots and things. Children will be slow.
  59. [2:02:04 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Hire cart. There is road, supplies must go. Children are small and light.
  60. [2:02:38 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa nods.
  61. [2:03:08 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Is plan. Can do. And when we pind commyanders, can at least say there is army here.
  62. [2:05:16 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Yes. We can do that.
  63. [2:06:17 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Lilãa does nyot want to wait. Will go back to camp, see who else is there. Say plan, see who pollows.
  64. [2:06:44 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne exits the tent and looks about for a collection of soldiers to gossip with.
  65. [2:09:43 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [Hanne finds that a unit across the way with a grindstone propped on a box with one soldier working a dagger over it while talking to another soldier leaning on the crate.]
  66. [2:10:33 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Rodyon: Aye.
  67. [2:14:13 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne walks over and greets the soldiers.
  68. [2:14:15 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa nods.
  69. [2:14:27 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Mornin' folks. Any news?
  70. [2:14:28 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Bery good.
  71. [2:14:37 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa turns from the dock, and begins the walk back to camp.
  72. [2:25:49 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Soldier, sharpening: Just that Brandur found a hare for sale in the market. Snatched it up though so you'll be outta luck if you were looking.
  73. [2:27:35 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne chuckles.
  74. [2:28:15 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Guess I can't start now, then.
  75. [2:30:35 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Soldier 2: Nah, he got ripped off. Hares are common in the hills outside the swamp. A day's hunt with a good shot and you'll feed a squad.
  76. [2:34:29 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> I'd better start practicing then. Is everyone just foraging for themselves?
  77. [2:37:27 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Soldier 2: Oh no, I only know because I grew up around here; name's Owain. The squad leads don't want us to relocate too much for the time being.
  78. [2:38:32 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne nods.
  79. [2:39:34 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Hanne. And I get that, we're all sort of just here. Don't want everyone to scatter.
  80. [2:45:09 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: We'll have to, sooner or later. The Aquisurian lords aren't agreeing with each other now that there is no royalty to cow them into line. When the sarge told me to go be a local, I got an earful of how all the troubles here are because of the next march over.
  81. [2:46:01 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Soldier: Getting hit by the Dominion first will do that to ya.
  82. [2:47:46 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> What, we're just gonna disband the army here and go our separate ways? Sounds like a waste.
  83. [2:49:23 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa 's footsteps approach, her search for other Wayward leading her in Hanne's direction.
  84. [2:49:27 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: You don't have to call it disbanding. We just have to end up in the north in smaller groups rather than one big group. I'm sure we won't get any deserters.
  85. [2:49:40 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [The two soldiers laugh.]
  86. [2:50:00 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> I'm sure.
  87. [2:50:24 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne joins in with their laughter.
  88. [2:52:02 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa arrives just behind Hanne's shoulder.
  89. [2:52:22 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Hanne. Wayward are leabing. Hiring cart and going to battlepront.
  90. [2:52:32 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Huh?
  91. [2:53:31 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne takes a moment to process Lilaa's arrival and information before breaking down into a fit of hard laughter; motioning to Owain and his comrades.
  92. [2:54:14 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa looks from Hanne to Owain and the others, then back to Hanne. "Is something strange?"
  93. [2:55:57 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Heh, ha ha, oh ho. Nah, everything's fine.
  94. [2:56:04 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne grins.
  95. [2:56:28 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Hanne is coming too?
  96. [2:56:50 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> What, were you gonna leave me behind?
  97. [2:59:19 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Nyo. But Hanne is pree to stay if wanting to.
  98. [2:59:41 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Hanne knyows where some other Waywards are?
  99. [3:00:08 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne raises an eyebrow at Lilaa.
  100. [3:00:30 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Do you? Hold on, have you talked with the others about this or did you just suddenly decide to leave?
  101. [3:01:13 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: Uh oh, talk about leaving in small groups.
  102. [3:01:20 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Lilãa made plan with Rodyon. Am saying plan to other Wayards nyow.
  103. [3:01:45 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne chuckles at Owain's comment.
  104. [3:02:09 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Yeah? Rodyon wants to do this?
  105. [3:02:46 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Yes.
  106. [3:04:57 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Huh. Alright then. We'll gather everyone and plan it out during supper tonight. Guess in the meantime start gathering supplies, and tell the others to do the same if you see 'em.
  107. [3:05:18 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Does Hanne need anything particular?
  108. [3:06:44 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Beyond what everyone else needs? Not really. You said you're getting a cart?
  109. [3:07:58 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Por children. Will be slow otherwise. Also good por tents and things.
  110. [3:08:23 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Yes, I know what a cart is. Where are you getting it?
  111. [3:10:09 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Will hab to look in town. Lilãa does nyot knyow ob any cart in Wayward camp.
  112. [3:11:29 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Hrmm. Well alright, I'll leave the cart situation up to you then. You going to look now?
  113. [3:13:39 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Nyot just nyow. Will pind others, tell them plan. See how many are coming.
  114. [3:15:14 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> We're not going together?
  115. [3:15:28 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne looks at Lilaa incredulously.
  116. [3:16:36 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Will all go when supplies are ready. But hab to say plan to them pirst.
  117. [3:18:00 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Uh huh.
  118. [3:18:19 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne cranes her neck from side to side.
  119. [3:18:54 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Well, you'll find the kids by the tent, probably. Haven't seen Meadow or Neya since breakfast.
  120. [3:20:05 PM CST] <[Multi]_Lilaa> Thanks.
  121. [3:20:28 PM CST] * [Multi]_Lilaa gives a nod, and then turns her back to find the other Wayward and reveal to them the plan.
  122. [3:21:31 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: Anxious to get out of here, huh? I was the same, haha.
  123. [3:23:09 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Guess so. Well, being on the move ain't so bad.
  124. [3:25:13 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: It'll be easy enough to go at least, only one road out until you get to Claersyl.
  125. [3:26:35 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Claersyl?
  126. [3:28:30 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: Next march up the coast, also the name of the city the road goes to. If you're lucky, you may find the Coalition supplies stuck there. Or maybe it hasn't even made it that far.
  127. [3:32:42 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> I see. How're they doing in the war?
  128. [3:36:08 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain, shrugs: They were too far south to be directly attacked during the initial invasion; the Dominion struck at the heartlands and swung north to Sveltland after. They've been short on stuff and full of refugees since then, but I haven't been in over a year.
  129. [3:36:44 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Suppose I'll find out myself soon enough.
  130. [3:40:31 PM CST] <[Cy2]> Owain: Good luck. Don't leave the road.
  131. [3:42:22 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne nods.
  132. [3:42:37 PM CST] <[110]_Hanne> Good luck to you as well.
  133. [3:43:17 PM CST] * [110]_Hanne smiles at Owain and the others before turning to leave.
  134. [3:44:08 PM CST] <[Cy2]> [The pair waves you off as the sharpening of the dagger appears to be done.]
  135. [3:51:19 PM CST] <[Cy2]> |||+++--- [67] ---+++|||
