Jaycol Lays Dying (RP)

[jaycol]

         Roled looks up as the guard calls out his greeting to those entering the Stonhead tavern He walks over to greet Sacho Awotowa as the Menki returns from the errand that he was sent on.
  "Any luck friend? He asks of Sacho.
  "Yes. He will be here shortly." Sacho replies.
  "Good!..Fine!..Thankee Sir Menki he tells Sacho as he and the menki turn as Rarodele Sarodele walks in through the taverns entrance.
  "Rarodele." Roled exclaims excited and relief at the sight of his friend. He moves quickly towards the Klyros giving him a hug. "Master Sir! ..We need help. Thankee fer coming." He said with gratitude.
  "Roled?..Friend. What has happened? Rarodelle asks looking about the tavern quickly. 'Oh?..course naturally. What do you need?" He said looking at Roled with concern.
     Roled takes a deep breath and begins to explain as the Klyros listens closely to his words.
  "Well?..Jaycol here on the bed were stabbed last night." He said pointing in Jaycol's direction. I have made a poultice and his life is saved but he be unconscious."He looks at Rarodele the turns towards the table where Aurelyn lay breathing slowly.
  "Yon dermorian maiden Aurelyn is unconscious and seems unresponsive...and Elady is under so much stress she be somewhat paralyzed with fear..." Roled said trailing off as he follows Rarodele over to Jaycol's bed where the Klyros knelled down and began to look at the dwarf closely.
     
         Across the room Zephan continues his attention to Elady. He stands with a look of deep concentration. His hand glows a soft azure as he hovers it in front of her forehead.  She looks up him smiling.
  "First relax." He tells her.  His expression becomes serious and stone like as he tries to pick out a thread of thought in Elady's mind. She looks up him  concentrating on his eyes as he continues his spell forming the frazzled threads of her thoughts in his mind eye trying to mentally smooth them. He picks out one to smooth first uttering one word.
  "Jaycol" He said aloud.
Elady tilts her head to the side before him. Her eyes seeming to focus better. She looks up at him with a surprised expression on her face.
  "Zephan when did you get here?" She asks him. She smiles at him asking again as he stands quietly in front of her.
  "Zephan when did you get here?" She looks around the tavern shocked at what she sees. "What is going on here?..Why is Aurelyn on the table? She asks as the guard interupts her questions as he greets some new arrivals to the tavern.
      Haviuk Keleiw returns carrying some fresh saffron in his paw beside him walks another Menki. They are followed closely by Togh and a young fenki. He stops to look at Elady then calls over to Roled.
 "Where do you need that Saffron?" He asks. Not getting an answer he walks over placing it near Roled before returning to the table where Elady and Zephan were, a look of helplessness on his face. Behind him Togh points towards Jaycol, Aurelyn and Elady then begins to explains to the Fenki named Nixe.
  "Jaycol over there be attacked, almost die. Aurelyn she is very very sad and then fall to the ground. And Miss over there..." the Kra points again at Elady. "She is also not good."
 
 "Did someone say JAYCOL, stabbed?" Kieve's eyes widen as he realizes the mix of information coming from the conversations  about the room. "I leave town for a few months and all hell breaks loose." He exclaims frowning.
  "He is over here Sir" Glundun tells Kieve looking over at him as the menki walks closer.
  "The Kran said a dwarf had been stabbed. Never expected it to be Jaycol." Kieve said looking at Jaycol soberly.
  "It is all we know know Sir. He was found in the hills outside the city." Glundun explains to the Menki.
     
         Roled drops some of the fresh saffron into the hot water.
  "I used this poultice to staunch Jaycol's wound last night. Making a fresh mash now."  He tells Rarodele as the klyros takes out some bandages and herbs mixing them with a pot of ointment and applies them to the wound at Jaycol's side looking at the dwarf again as he works.
  "Sir Glundun?.. Can ye please keep the onlookers back a little from the patients? Roled asks the Kran as he continues to mix the poultice within the bowl.
  "Yes" The Guard replies moving forward addressing the gathering crowd. "Please step back so Roled can see to the wounds" Glundun tells them as Kieve and the others step back from the bed.
  "Rarodele, he were stabbed in the side, lost much blood. Elady, Dragonis and I all sent healing spells to no effect" He tells the Klyros at Jaycol's side. "But? He is still alive at least."
  "His body is resting It is what he needs most now." Rarodele replies to Roled with a nod of his head. "He will will not wake for some time."
  "I made a mash of Kingfoil, potion of healing and saffon to heat his blood and keep it moving. It seems to have given him pain relief but, not his consciousness yet." Roled explains.
  "Did he hit his head at all Roled? Rarodele asks. "When he fell perhaps?"
  "I do not know" Roled said shaking his head. "Elady found Jaycol in the hills by Cutthroat Pass already down and bleeding."
  "He seems in a deep trance, and I supect he has a head injury. For now he must wake on his own." Rarodele explains rising to look at Roled.
  "Perhaps Sir Rarodele ye can look at the demorian lady next? I am at a lost as to what to do with her." Roled asks as he moves towards Jaycol to checking the fresh bandage and then pulling the blanket up to cover the dwarf.
 
        Havuik looks around the tavern again then to Zephan. He sighs and says to him.
  "I am not much use here. Wish I could be more help. Perhaps I should organize a party to hunt these attackers down."
    Behind him Nixe flick's her ears up at the conversation of Roled as he speaks to Rarodele.
  "Judging, I'd say that there's not much I can do 'cept stand here and pretend I'm useful. That elf there seems to know much more than I." She tells Togh
  "I as well Miss" Havuik replies turning to look at her.
  "If I can assist, I will. Until then though..." She said trailing of as she shakes her head then looking around the room.
  "Only thing Togh can do is run. So Togh run for help." The kran tells Nixe.
        Havuik turns to Roled as he approaches the table.
  "Sir, perhaps I should take a party to Cutthroat's Pass? Do you know if there are any more victims?" He asks looking at Roled.
  "Good idea Menki. I did not e'en think there may be more." Roled answered in thought.
  "The women Jaycol left with, she wasn't there when I found Jaycol." Elady offers in information.
  "I shall go to Cutthroat's Pass and look for traces of the attackers or more victims." He announced loudly drawing out his sword. "Anyone who can be spared should come. Laanx protect all of you" He says moving towards the open doorway.
  "Wait Havuik" Zephan cries out. "Please excuse me a bare moment I'll be back. Something I need to give you before you leave." He said moving to the back of the tavern retuning a few minutes later carrying a sword in which he presented to Havuik.
  "To the success of your militia" Zephan tells Havuik with a bow as he offers him the sword.
  "Thank you friend." Havuik said returning the bow of respect to Zephan. Then he turns the sword in his paws examining it closely. "This is a great sword!" He exclaims. "I am honored."
  "I should be working not sitting around here. Does anyone need a drink?:" Elady calls out interrupting the two men.
  "Aye, I better get back to helping too" Zephan said looking back at Elady.
  "I must be going. Good luck." Havuik tells Zephan with a nod before glancing about the tavern. In the corner he watches as Kieve kneels beside Jaycol's bed for a moment.
  "Hang in there, old friend. We'll get to the bottom of all this somehow." Kieve says quietly to Jaycol before rising to join Havuik near the entrance.
  "Laanx Bless" Havuik calls back as the two Menki leave together as they had come.
 

[jaycol]

         Aurelyn's right hand starts to twitch slowly. Her arm stretching out as if trying to reach for something.
  "How is Aurelyn?" Togh asks Garosan as the moment of her arm catches the Kran's eyes.
  "She wants something." Garosan said looking up at Togh as Roled crosses the room to the table.
  "Did she have anything in her hand when she fell" He then asks of Togh. As Aurelyn's body starts to shake slowly, her legs quivering a little. her right hand still twitching in the air. The motion drawing more concern from Togh as kra looks on. Garosan holds her hand in his firmly.
  "Your going to be alright" He tells her reassuringly.
  "What she want?" Togh asks. "She say anything?"
  "Not a clue." Garosan said with a shrug. "No, not yet." He replies in answer to Togh's questions.
Aurelyn suddenly clenches down upon his hand at the feel of his touch. She scratches at it still unconscious.
  "Togh, Sir Garosan? Have either of ye tried any healing magics?" Roled asks as he watches Aurelyn's actions.
  "I could, though I am not extremely versed." Garosan informs Roled.
  "Togh? No. Togh only courier." Togh said looking over at Roled.
  "I can do it. I just wondered if you had tried that." Roled said to them as he looks over at Garosan to see if he reacts to Aurelyn's scratches. Garosan catches his glance and looks down at his hand noticing them for the first time.
  "She will have to do a lot worse to hurt me." Garosan  comments looking over at Roled.
  "Kra Togh, would you please tell us again exactly what happened with this lady Aurelyn?" Roled asks turning to face Togh.
 
        Togh nods politely as the Kran takes a seat on the bench at the table.
  "Togh start at begin.' The Kran said taking a deep breath it begins to tell the others what kra knew.
 "In morning, Togh see Jamora walk. She strange. Then Togh try to find Aurelyn. She,..her love friend." Togh pauses for a moment before continuing.
  "When Togh find. Aurelyn very, very sad.
  "Very sad? But ye knows not why?" Roled asks Togh.
  "Say we must search Jamona." Togh answers Sad because Jamona away"
  "Yes Togh. We should indeed try to find Jamona and as soon as possible. " Roled said.
  "When we look for Jamona, she suddenly mad and angry for Jacula and curse." Togh begins.
  "Say that again Togh." Roled interrupts. "Jamona was mad about Jacula and a curse?" He asks not understanding.
Togh looks at Roled then shakes kra's head.
  "Aurelyn mad. Jamona still gone. Aurelyn curse Yliakum and the Gods." Togh replies correcting the misunderstanding.
 "Where is Jamona?" Zephan asks Togh.
 "We don't know Zephan." Roled said.
 "Jamona walk away."Togh answered Zephan.
 "To where? Was she with anyone? Zephan asks the Kran.
  "She not good. Act like baby." Togh said to Zephan.
  "Like a baby?" Zephan asks confused.
  "Normally they are never apart" Elady comments. " I thought I heard that Jacula recently killed Jamona?" She asks Togh.
Togh nods to Elady.

        Roled turns his attention back to Aurelyn. He begins to cast a healing spell while keeping an eye on Garosan as he did so. Aurelyn begins to writhe, her eyes rolled upwards. Covering her face with her hands she seems to wince at the effects of the spell.
  "What magic are you using?" Zephan asks seeing her response to it.
  "An infusion of life" Garosan answers him.
  "Is she wounded?" Zephan then asks moving closer trying to get a good look at what was happening.
  "All we could finds was an old scar." Garosan answered watching the woman before him on the table.
  "Ye mean on her body, an old scar?" Roled asks surprised. "Where Sir Garosan?"
  ""Aye, on the abdomen." Garosan informs Roled pointing at the area of the scar.
  "She was stabbed in the stomach a while ago, but a piece of the metal was left behind. I recently removed what was left and the wound has finally healed." Elady said stepping closer.
  "Elady thankee fer that informatiom." Roles tells her watching as Aurelyn continues to writhe, winching more and more on the table. Her mouth slowly opening.
  "The metal seemed to have a strange reaction around Dark Way Glyphs though." Elady tells the others.
  "What sort of reaction? Zephan asks frowning.
  "What effect?" Roled asked almost simultaneously.
  "That is not good." Rarodele said stepping up to the table where Aurelyn lay." It must be removed. Has any of you healing potions? The greater the better."
  "The metal was already removed by Elady." Zephan said to Rarodele.
  "No, no, the metal was removed. I did that a while ago. She is very close to her friend Jamona. If Jamona is missing...." She trails off as Rarodele nods in response to her and Zephan.
  "Aye Sir Rarodele." Roled says as he steps away to alow Rarodele to get closer to Aurelyn.
  "Jamona is probably the key to Aurelyn's condition." Elady said to Rarodele who nods at her suggestion. "Normally they are never apart." She adds.

        Rarodele leans over Aurelyn speaking softly.
  "Can you tell us what happened?" He asks her.
Aurelyn suddenly sits up letting out a desperate scream. Covering her eyes with her hands.The scream startles everyone as they all look up in surprise. Roled moves to the end of the table cradling her head in his lap stroking her hair to calm her down. Elady quickly goes to her friend reaching out to hold her as Rarodele moves aside to sit down at the other table.
        Aurelyn slowly opens her eyes getting back to the harsh reality. She stares in space for a long moment.
  "There, there sister. It will be alright." Elady tells her holding her close as Aurelyn closes her eyes again, still covered with her hands. She begins to cry silently.
  "Zephan? Do ye think ye can find a blanket, or a sheet, and a pillow please." Roled asks him from the head of the table where he sat.
 "There is a pillow there." Garosan indicated with a nod of his head.     
            Roled picked up the pillow from the bench nearby placing it under Aurelyn's head as he slipped off of the table slowly. Aurelyn reaches up as he moves away putting her hands in her hair. Her eyes still closed as she winces at her inner pain. Elady continues to hold her making gentle comforting noises.
 "Togh hear you know Aurelyn and Jamona?" Togh asks Elady.
 "Yes, I know both of them." Elady said looking over at Togh. "If Jamona isn't by Aurelyn's side then there is something wrong.I have never seen them apart."

         Roled approaches where Rarodele sat at the other table sitting down beside him placing a hand on the klyros shoulder in gratitude.
  "Sweet tea and comfort." Rarodele sais aloud. "Has any searched for her love? Do any know where Jamona might be?" He asks. His face very pale and his breaths in deep gasps.
  "We search but not find." Togh said looking over at Rarodele.
  "Roled?, would ye be so kind as to bring me a bit of bread?" He asks as Roled stood up beside him. "I am nearly spent, I fear."
  "Certainly Master Sir Rarodele." Roled replied.
  " I'll go get you some bread for you." Zephan offers as he moves towards the kitchen.
      Rarodele attempts to sip the tea but his hand shakes too much and it spills.
      Roled moves behind him after nodding to Zephan placing his hands on Rarodeles shoulders he sends healing crystal energy into the klyros.
  " I just need some food my friend." Rarodele looks up at Roled and smiles his thanks. " I will be fine in but a moment."
  "Thankee good Zephan." Roled said as Zephan returned placing some fresh bread on the table near Rarodele before moving to stand near the front door of the tavern.
      Rarodele picks up the bread nibbling at it as his face slowly returns to it's natural color. He continues to eat.
  "I am merely tired friend Roled." He said slowly standing to his feet.
  "Dear friend, ye have saved many today." He tells Rarodele as he continues to pour Crystal energy into the klyros elder. "Come sit down good Rarodele"
      Rarodele finishes the last of the honey bread as the two sit down together at the table.
  " That was exactly the right thing to give me friend." Rarodele said. "Now could someone please explain to me what has happened here?"
     Roled leans close to Rarodele and whispers to him as they watch the others at the opposite table.

        Aurelyn slowly raises her head and looks at Elady, but doesn't seem to see her.
  "Aurelyn, do you know where you are at?" Elady asks smiling at Aurelyn with her hands around her shoulders.
Aurelyn nods very slowly.
  "Do you know who I am?" Elady asks.
Aurelyn nods again with tears in her eyes.
  "You will be fine Aurelyn. We are all here to help you. Try to be strong sister." Elady said reassuringly. Her face changes as she is a bit unsure before asking the next question. "Can you tell me what happened to Jamona?"
          Aurelyn tries to speak but her voice slowly fades, becoming more and more hoarse ending in an almost inaudible whisper.
  "Oh,,, I know where I am,,, I don't want to be here..." She said finally.
  "Where did you want to be?" Garosan asks her.
  "Where do you want to be Aurelyn?" Elady asks as Aurelyn winces at the questions but doesn't answer. Elady hugs Aurelyn and just holds her for awhile.

[jaycol]

         Havuik and Kieve return from Cutthroat Pass. Havuik moves in ahead panting. He bows to everyone before going back to breathing heavily. He looks over at Aurelyn with a smile.
  "I am glad we are doing better here." He said.
  "Better...Yeah..." Aurely whispers her voice almost inaudible.
  "One second Rarodele." Roled excuses himself as he rises to greet the two Menkis.
          Havuik looks to Roled before taking off his helmet and placing it under his arm returning Roled's greeting.
  "Sir Menki, what did ye find if anything?" He asks.
Havuik takes a deep breath and looks to Kieve.
  "Glad your back Tabei." He said as Kieve
 catches up. Then he turns back to Roled.
 "We didn't find anyone, but we did find a band of thugs and this." He said holding up a potion of healing.
  "Same." Kieve said with a nervous laugh. "What a bloody nuisance he was.
  "Maybe someone dropped it when they were attacked." Havuik offered.
  "The cutthroats and bandits carry them too." Rarodele said.
   "Hmmm? May I smell it Sir Menki? I am Roled Rolak by the way. I do thankee fer hunting fer other injured." Roled tells the menki.
  "I am Commandant Havuik Kewleiw." Havuik returns with a bow. "I only hope there were no more victims." He said as he hands the bottle to Roled to examine.
  "Commandant Havuik. Tis the blessing of Xiosia that ye happened in upon us." Roled returns as he opens the potion and smells it. "It smells like Levrus's common potion."
  "I am here to help. I only wish I could have done more. He also deserves soome honor" Havuik said pointing to Kieve. "very helpful he is."
  "Roled looks over and greets Kieve Svetnikov.
  "Me?" Kieve laughs. "All I did was run. Well... after poking that Brigand with a spell, I mean."
  "Only thing we found. Havuik said with a shrug to Roled about the potion. "Could have been dropped by an attack or someone in here."
 "Thankee too good Sir Menki, I be Roled." Roled said to Kieve with a bow.
  "Thank you anyhow" Kieve returns the gesture to Roled as Havuik makes his way towards him.
         Havuik said reaching out to shake Kieves paw.
 "Glad to have worked with you tabei."
 "Likewise, Comrade." Kieve returns taking the offered paw shaking it.
 "You handled yourself quite well. You interested in more of this kind of work? He asks. Kieve blinks in response to his question unsure of an answer.
  "Well you seem like the kind of Menki I need." Havuik continues reaching into his sack and pulling out a flier. "have a look at this." He said handing it to Kieve.
  "I'll look over it, I suppose." Kieve tells him. "But for right now, I'd like nothing more than some rest. My magic isn't what it used to be."
  "I'll be glad to talk to you more when the situation allows." Havuik said reaching out to place a paw on Kieves shoulder. "Well get some rest tabei" He adds with a bow to Kieve.
  "And may Laanx frighten the shadow from your path." He adds.
  "Take care of y'self, Comarade." Kieve said with a nod turning towards the door.
     Havuik waits until he departs then moves near the fireplace to stand quietly out of the way.
 

[derula]

[Awesome writeup Jaycol, for something that had a large amount of unrelated RP no less. Here's a small conclusion (?) of the evening, though it is completely unrelated to the RP, just in case anyone's interested. That was very interesting. And yeah, my version can't be as neutral as Jaycol's, of course, but I hope it's enjoyable anyways. Wow, didn't expect this to take two and a half hours.]

  Togh still looks slightly puzzled, trying to understand why Aurelyn returned from her unconsciousness that quickly, as he didn't even understand how she got into it in the first place.  Elady releases her hug and asks Aurelyn quietly "Let me know how I can help you. Would you like something to drink, Aurelyn?" Aurelyn shakes her head slowly, looking at the floor and she seems to have hard times speaking, her voice merely audible "I want nothing..." Garosan turns at Aurelyn, "Miss, I am not so sure. You were grasping for something until I put my hand in your reach." Togh opens kras mouth slightly, about to say something, but then closes it again and remains quiet.

  Garosan and Rarodele meanwhile start to worry about Elady's condition. "Elady, quite frankly, I don't think you're in the best condition either.", Garosan says, and Rarodele confirms him, "Indeed Elady needs rest." Garosan tells her, "Elady, sit down. For once you need to be served.", which is again affirmed by Rarodele: "Listen to Garosan Elady. It is truth he speaks." But Elady doesn't seem to be in the mood to follow their commands, as she turns to Garosan briefly, staring daggers through him, before returning her attention to Aurelyn. "You have spent yourself and need rest.", Rarodele adds, looking ernest, to what Roled nods his agreement.

  Elady raises her hand and, with a finger on Aurelyn's chin, lifts her head so she looks into Elady's eyes "I know you miss Jamona deeply, and we will find her. But you need to recover your strength first." Aurelyn closes her eyes and winces. Zephan walks back into the tavern, Zephan perches himself onto the railing and watches. Elady says more firmly to Aurelyn "We will find Jamona and she will be fine. Have faith, Aurelyn." Aurelyn shakes her head slowly, her eyes still closed, wincing and making desperate efforts not to cry. Elady holds Aurelyn "Go ahead and cry if you want." Aurelyn shakes her head again, slowly.

  Meanwhile, Capilon Spantry enters the Stonehead Tavern, and Rarodele standa up to greet him. Capilon says: "Rarodele, I am really worried about Lady Elady... can I do something? Anything?" Garosan laughs a little "You could get her to sit and recover", to which Capilon answers jokingly, "My name is Capilon, not Laanx" Rarodele makes the more realistic suggestion, "Have you a blanket? If so, put it around her shoulders." Togh looks around, feeling a bit helpless in all this mess, and sighs "If there anything Togh can do..."

  Roled checks on the fresh poltice, and dips it in the saffron mix again before replacing it and redressing Jaycol's wound. He strokes the dwarfs brow gently and then places his hand on his own heart and on the dwarfs for a moment. Hearing Rarodele's suggestion, he turns around at him and tells him "Sir Rarodele, we did put that carpet o'er her..." Rarodele nods and agrees "Elady needs warmth and rest. Rest she will not take for now, but warmth you can give her. Has anyone got a blanket or fur, to put around her?", sounding a little exasperated. Zephan looks at Rarodele, seeing he misunderstood Roled and tries to clarify "Roled has already given Aurelyn a blanket and pillow, Rarodele."

  Elady meanwhile just keeps holding Aurelyn giving her support. While Zephan doesn't seem to hear Garosan's question, "Ibanic get the message to you alright?", he immediately reacts as Elady looks around, catches his eye and mouths the word "tea". Zephan wanders over and hands Elady another mug of Sweet Tinga Tea. A fenki named Jita enters and looks around the tavern. "Wow... That's more of a crowd'n I remember there bein' in 'ere." Zephan turns to her and confirms, "The tavern seems to have become a sanatorium temporarily." Jita furrows her brow. "What's goin' on?" Roled turns to Jita, explaining: "This good kra Togh brought the lady in unconscious and cared fer her."

  Aurelyn slowly wipes a few tears with her palms, opening her eyes again, staring desperately at the floor. Togh sees Aurelyn's despair, looks at her and says "Togh sorry. It all Togh's fault." Aurelyn shakes her head as she hears Togh speaking and tries to speak, whispering as no sounds come from her mouth "No... I have what I deserve..." Togh frowns at her comment, "No one deserve this. Why would good lady as you?" Elady holds the mug of tea in front of Aurelyn and encourages her "Try to take a sip." Aurelyn raises her head slowly and tries to focus on the tea with her eyes, then shakes her head slowly.

  Zephan turns to look at Elady again, while Rarodele still insists "Elady needs a blanket, she needs warmth. Roled, can you find something to wrap around Elady?" - "Aye I can...", he replies. "She will not rest. Not while Aurelyn needs her," Rarodele says. Roled walks into the corner in which the Ojavedan textiles and Jaycol's bed are set up, and gathers up a small carpet in his arms. Rarodele nods and smiles at him, "Thank you." Roled places the carpet around Elady's shoulders and tries to guide her to sit next to Aurelyn, which she declines: "Thanks but I think giving Aurelyn a chance to sit quietly will be the most help for her now." - "I understand that, Elady. But you have also had a deep shock. Take the blanket.", Rarodele answers, seeming to be satisfied as she takes it.

  Roled makes his way out of the tavern to announce "FRIENDS ALL! We have had us a bit of ... excitement ... here this night. Please fergive us, but we be not up to serving food just yet. Thankee fer yer understanding and please come again sometime..." Zephan sighs and shakes his head. "Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'm going to give Elady and Aurelyn some space for a bit," he says, as he moves a bit out of the way. Togh nods at Zephan and says "Togh leave too if they wish", which Roled mistakes as a reaction to his shout, and answers "Sir Togh ye may of course stay.. I were just trying to maybe calm things down a bit." Just to be sure, Togh looks at Aurelyn and asks "Togh stay or Togh leave?", not receiving an answer.

  Garosan realizes that Jita is still armed, and tells her "Ma'am please put your weapons away," which she immediately does, and thanks her for doing so. Rarodele wanders back to the bench and thankfully sits down and listens. Zephan asks Garosan if he can bring him a tea, which he declines "Nay Zephan, thank ye for the offer though." Jita looks to Zephan, and asks: "Hey, what's goin' on in 'ere, anyway?", to which Roled answers "Taa, this has been a difficult night.", and Zephan adds "I wish I knew the whole story, Taa. But I don't." Jita furrows her brow and glances over her shoulder towards Elady and Aurelyn, then looks back to Zephan. "So I ain't the only one confused 'ere?" Zephan shakes his head and shrugs simultaneously.

  Another Kran enters, who apparently did not hear Roled's shout, and greets everyone, and starts a meaningless converation with Rarodele, who kra had met before. Garosan reminds kra: "Kra, please put your weapons away." Garosan asks Zephan again: "Did Ibanic get the message to you?", again not receiving an answer. Aurelyn winces again, looking tired, and slowly closes her eyes, her body slowly leaning as she seems to fall into a deep slumber. Rarodele looks at Aurelyn and smiles "Good, she needs sleep."

  With Krrukk and Rarodele still chatting, Roled sees Aurelyn falling asleep and directs to everyone around: "Folks it might be best if everyone wer to leave fer a while? Would ye all mind please? I be sure Kada El's will welcome ye, and the Stonehead will open again ... sometime soon...", to which nobody seems to react at first. Only Garosan prepares to leave, strapping his armor back on. Zephan gets up to be of service to the fenki.

  Elady also sees Aurelyn has fallen asleep, and asks around "Can someone help me get her to the pillows? I'll sit quietly with her there." Togh nods and gets up, ready to carry the Dermorian over. "Kra Togh and I will help Aurelyn to the pillows, wont we, kra?", Roled speaks to Togh. But Togh already started to lift her, and like before, her weight was like a feather to kra. "Togh can do alone," kra replies, and carries her over to the corner, carefully laying her down on the carpets. Elady sits next to Aurelyn and continues to hold her while she sleeps, while Roled puts the carpet back over Aurelyn and greets Togh "Kra Togh ye are a fine and helpful kra indeed. Thankee sir, tis an honor to meet ye," and kra bows back to him.

  Zephan hands Jita a mug of red. Jita looks to the mug in Zephans hand and shakes her head. "Ah, sorry, no thanks. I ain't in much of a drinkin' mood." - "No drink for you today? Ah, no problem, then," Zephan replies. Jita leans on the bar, "If ye got somethin' like cider, though, I wouldn' mind." Elady looks over to Zephan "Could I impose on you to get food and drink for anyone who needs it Zephan?", but, again, no answer is heard. Roled gathers up the remnant of the potions and healing mixtures, while Rarodele introduces himself to Glundun.

  Togh looks over at the sleeping Aurelyn, figuring it might just be the best to let her be for the moment, looks around and says "Everyone, Togh tired and go now. Good know everyone.", whispers over to Aurelyn "We find Jamona.", and waves at the crowd. Krrukk waves back and answers: "Fare thee well. Togh."

  Rarodele whispers quietly to Elady, "How be you now?"

[jaycol]

[Thank you very much for that derula. I had just woken up to work on that. When we decided to set this up on a whim it was intended as a free flow RP to allow player characters to participate or not as they chose to. It was also to allow them to bring a twist of their own into it.(and many have) That first night came rather unexpected. I have to borrow another set of logs to fill in some gaps since my range was limited. You also nicely worked in a few of the miner RP's that came in late that I was unsure of how to approach. Again, I appreciate the work you put into this]

Wow, didn't expect this to take two and a half hours.

[ Heh? You don't know how many times I said that myself  ]

[Though there was a lot of different conversations that seem unrelated at the time they did become a steady part of conversations from the characters involved and others later throughout the following days. Adding a reference/center point for characters to work from. It also added a twist of confusion that participating characters had to sort out and solve. Which made it rather interesting. For that reason I thought it was important to add as much of that evening as possible. I'll be editing and adding pieces that are more centered to Jaycol's situation now. If anyone wishes to add some that I missed or other pieces that stemmed off of this particular evening please feel free to add them.  I learned some small parts of Aurelyn's story from my bed in the corner. I am still interested in how she made out.]

[ * Note: My RL schedule took on a change last week so I habve been trying to work around that. But to bring everyone up to date. Jaycol has begun to stir and should be up and grumbling in a day or two. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to join in. I hope I can catch a few of you that I have missed so far]

[I thought of maybe summarizing the Aurelyn / Jamona RP some time, but I'm not really sure if it's worth the effort, it would mean going through megabytes of logs again. I'm sure there are as many as 4 or 5 people that played a small role in it who'ld like to know the whole story. Er... I'll think about it.]
