Yliakum Journeys (vol.1)

[LARAGORN]

Rising slowly to his feet Laragorn looks around, and sees corpses of the beasts. There is blood every where. Everyone is gathering around the disheveled cart. Laragorn reaches in his bag for a flask containing mana. He takes a large gulp. Closing his eyes he lowers his head and mutters a few words. Feeling anew, Laragorn joins the others at the cart.
Approaching the three faces he saw when awakening, in a sincere voice spoke to them “I am Laragorn. I owe you my life, and I shall forever be in your debt.”

[Under the moon]

"It is so nice to meet you," says the very large lump under the blanket, "I am known as Arnigus. Arnigus Faymore" A hand extends from the blanket.

[Xylaal]

"Your welcome Laragorn," she extends her caloused webbed hand, "I am Xylaal, this is Zhai and I think you know Easton don't you?" Xylaal smiles. "Let's get back to the cart. And then, after we regroup, we have a lot of skinning to do. It would be a shame to let these proud beasts' hides and claws go to waist."

They all start moving toward the cart.

[Easton]

Easton limps up to the crowd growing around Myrthe, "Easton here! Bruised up but ready for any task that is needed. Just let me know how i can help." He then sits down and tends to a swelling ankle.

[Farren Kutter]

Farren shifts very slightly on the ground where he was left, still unconscious and injured.

[steuben]

seeing the end of the battle tovera carefully places her daggers on the ground. she pulls her self into a tigh ball. her tail wrapped around her. her shoulders start shaking. "i couldn't do anything," she says muffled.

[LARAGORN]

“Is there anyone else who is hurt?” Laragorn asks as he looks around. He sees a body on the ground, and rushes over to it. When he gets there he knows the injuries are severe. He kneels beside the body, closes his eyes, lowers his head and mutters to himself. A whirlwind of glowing light envelopes the two bodies. The body stirs as the light subsides.

[zhai]

As the group gathers again, Zhai takes some minutes to check up on Farren. She starts casting the life infusion spell on him again, making sure all his wounds heal properly. "That ulber almost bit your ear, huh?"...

[Farren Kutter]

Farren snaps out of unconsciousness instantly at the sound of anything biting or eating his ear and snaps into a sitting position, despite still weakened bones and muscles. "NO!!!! Not my ears!!!" he yells quite loudly before falling back from the pain in his body.

[Spetyco]

"..a camping trip to explore the wilds, treasure hunt and hunt wild beasts," sounded like fun at the time.  But now Spetyco is limping around in the dark stubbing his toes trying to find his way out of a pit.
He was late for the party, but decided he could catch up anyway.  But before he could he heard some whistling, he knew it meant trouble, so he became cautious, sneaking through the shrubbery trying to see what was going on, before whatever it was could see him.  Then he saw the campfire and came closer.  When he got closer he saw a great battle of heroes against an unusually large pack of ulbernauts.  Across the hill he sees someone new joining the fray only to end up at the end of one of the beasts claws.
Spetyco pulls out his long sword and begins his charge to help these might heroes.
But alas, he was too focused on the beasts ahead to notice the pit and down he falls, twenty feet to some sharp rocks and lands with a crack.  Then blackness...
When he comes to all is queit and dark.. then someone yells, "NO!!!! Not my ears!!!"
Someone must be close, "HELLO! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?!?"

[zorbels]

Zorbels looks at Satayne for a moment and then rushes to hug him flooded with emotion and thankful he was ok. "Oh thank the gods you are ok, I was worried when you didn't answer my calling out to you." She pause for a moment sensing movement and hearing a soft rustling sound.
"Wow, am am still pretty jumpy. I am hearing things."
Satayne nods eyes still darting from different directions searching for some clue to danger. Zorbels smiles and puts her hand on his shoulder " To answer your question .... I am alright, I managed to heal my leg enough to stop the bleeding. With the aid of my healing glyph, and knowledge of magic ... I think I can heal it completely in five days time. Till then, I will have to take it easy." She is suddenly startled by a loud yell and hears Farren shrieking "NO!!!! Not my ears!!!" Following that a moment later, "HELLO! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?!?"

Zorbels looks at Satayne with wide eyes. "Did you hear that?" Not waiting for the answer she limps towards Farren and the strange voice she heard. "Hello?" Who and where are you?" Zorbels calls out. "We were just under attack by ulber's, are you ok? Hurt in anyway .....?." She stops short of where Farren lays and listens intently for the unfamiliar voice and it's location.

[lanser]

thumping wriggling and pushing at the dead ulber Hoki finally manages to free himself unaided and staggers to the cart to slump down against the wheel beside the fur covered ball that is Tovera.

Sighing deeply he reaches out to lay a comforting paw on the little fenkis quivering shoulders "There, there little one, it doesn't matter that you couldn't help" and with a groan he pulls the foot long splinter out of his side using his free paw, glancing at the ball of fur asks "are you injured?"

[Spetyco]

"HELLO?!?  I'm over here!  My name is Spetyco and I've come to join the party.  I've fallen into a hole of some kind.  I think I may have broken my leg... What was that?!?"
Spetyco whirls around.  There was a rustling noise coming from somewhere nearby.  He keeps looking and realizes there is actually an underground cave of some kind down here.  He tries to penetrate the darkness to see where the noise is coming from, but fifty feet into the cave it takes a sharp turn East.
The sound is getting closer.
"HELLO!  I think something is down here!  Do you think you could help me out?"
"By Talad!  Where's my sword?"

[Myrthe]

People start to gather around the cart. "Easton, you could definately be of service. Would you mind counting up everyone that is present? I'm going to try to salvage what i can of this cart."

[Easton]

Easton wanders around counting and recounting the party. Returning to Myrthe he says, "It looks as though we have twelve members as of now, and one stuck in a hole, not sure of his name though. So thats a total of thirteen."

Easton spots a long, thick rope near the cart and then calls for Roth and Toth. "You two, you're strong right? Come with me, i have a job for you.."

The twins look at each other, shrug and then start following Easton, "Otay, we's follow"
