Quote from: Marleycat;773343Bright Feather is going to ask Karnath if it would be cool to share a room at the local temple if that's available... if not she will try to rent a quiet room from one the wealthier locals living behind the main drag.

OoC: Preacher Sometimes offered a room? But maybe that is creepy. Also Karni was going to talk to the elders, plus she wants to thank the Sister who helped stop the riot, whatever happens, Bright Feather should come along.

Opa, thanks for the XP.

OOC: Bright Feather would love to listen to whatever Sister Joyous or the Elders have to say.

Bright Feather will quietly shadow Karni..."psst...is it okay if stick around you Karni? Lots of humans around and none of The People around you understand?"

"Yes, I do. I am a stranger to this land as well."

OoC: Nice avatar change, Marleycat, very fitting.

OOC: Thanks, she's my take on a Shadowrun Cat Shaman. I thought it's quite fitting also.

"Father, they know not what they do... stay with me young man, stay with me!
"Those are dead, hurry to the next!
"Take this Healer's Kit to that one, there's no time."
Into Alric's hands is thrusted the Kit, then pointed off to a body.
"You, your healing is needed there. Hurry!"

Coordinating what help came to her, "Sister Joyous" assigns them with the familiarity of a nurse during war — for those of you who have seen large societies and their large scale wars. Otherwise her commanding direction of fellow medicine men is quite untraditional-like, definitely not 'Of the People'. But she works fast, especially for bleeding — either staunching the good blood, or letting out the bad.

Watching her you see she still has dust rivulets upon her cheek, but the tears have stopped. Her eyes are drifting into a detached peace and a beautiful smile is playing upon her lips. She seems lost to a somewhere 'not here', to a somewhere you feel you may want to be.

"Five. In a brawl.

"Not since last September..." Looking up with that same beatific face to your gathered party, which is a touch unnerving given her conversation. "Must be summer around here again."

"Gather them gently. They live, but are a hit away." She speaks to those who have returned with a cart for the living. Turning to the party, receiving the Healer's Kit back from Alric, "Can I help you?"

Has she forgotten you so soon?

Alric accepts the Healing kit and does his best moving around the area to heal people.

OOC rolled Perception for triage - 6 +4 for a 10 and a heal check to apply the kit to those in most need 1+2 is a 3.  Oh those rolls sucked. I am minus the rules I think I don't have to roll to stabilize if so, that roll was more could I assess who needs most help and it looks like I am so use to bleeding creatures, as a hunter, they all look Ok to me

Alric returns to the good Sister. "Yes Sister" he says respectfully "I know this is not the best of times but my companions and I were planning to see to this situation posted about the Ole Graveyard and I was made to understand you might know more than most about these parts, in that regard."  

He pauses looking around at the mayhem. "Now may not be the best time, so could we impose upon you when you have a moment to tell us what might be haunting the area there."

"I would consider it a kindness" Alric smiles in a hopeful manner.

OOC: Yay! A good time to sell you all on the virtues of a Healer's Kit! The Kit requires no Wisdom (Medicine) check to stabilize. It merely expends 1 use of the kit as an action to stabilize a creature with 0 HP. It starts with 10 uses.

Not bad for 5 gold.

OOC - Still got some money left and may have to pick one up. Does anyone else have one?

Karni has one, how injured are people? She wants to go talk to the Nun though, if just to say 'hi'.

Main Street aftermath

She puts out a hand to caress Alric's face while looking at him with hers still in a saintly rictus. "I'll make time."

"The Old Graveyard is the start and namesake of this town." Settles into a parade rest and faces the party. "It is on the way to many mines from here, in the direction towards Dusky Willow Camp, another town further up and several days away."

"I've seen glowing red eyes at my level, but felt no threat by the yard's fence as I prayed. Could be a grave guardian of some kind. The lower red eyes ought to be coyotes, though." She shrugs and blinks away these comments. Either naive or nerves of steel, this one.

"There is real evil here, mind. All around, too. But..." Gets another lost look in her eye and starts to disengage conversation. "Just be careful out there in the dark."

OOC: I've resolved that previously, among the "who gathers in which group, where" aftermath question. The results are in post #230. Those who could be stabilized have been by now.

You all did good. But yes I do tend to embed stuff, so I assume more careful readings. Don't worry, we'll get a feel for each other's style over time.

"Sister Joyous" is taking a breather now that she's done to chat with you. Just because she seems withdrawing does not mean you cannot keep talking to her. She just thinks you're all done, and she is not of many words. I'm just expressing her personality.

Any new topics or deeper details desired?

I reach in my purse and produce a few gold (3) and press them into Sister's hand. "This is for any care that may not be taken care of by others." He pauses as if choosinghis words. " I know we didn't start this but once involved one has a certain Karma to fulfill."

OOC - I assume that is not an insulting amount.

He meets her eyes if possible. "What is the lay of the land nearby the Graveyard? Is it more than a days Travel from here? And is there anyone else who may know more about what haunts the Graveyard?"

After she answers I will head off to Vaux's provided I saw a healers kit or something that would make me think they have some. If not then I will ask the kind Sister where I might get one. I will also check on Mal just to make sure he is okay.

Bright Feather will be following Karni and carefully cataloguing her surroundings and whatever's being said.

@ Artifacts of Amber...."thank you but I do have one already".

"You are generous, hunter." She looks at the significant sum of money you just handed her, hesitates to give it all back, then removes one gold piece and returns it. "But you need to live, too. Thank you very much."

"That graveyard is close, merely two miles out. A new graveyard is between there and here—" she points to where everyone is standing, "— and those ones are fresh and less settled." She shrugs again, "Funny what scares the locals."

"It is higher ground covered in brush and rocks, like much here. Its fence is crumbling and fading." She pauses to think, "A few tavern yarn spinners may know more, but what is lie and truth with them?"

Stops for a longer silence, "I don't think those two graveyards get along."

"Perhaps we could scout the taverns for more information. I wouldn't mind finding a place to get some rest before too long. I was on the ass end of an ass kicking out there, getting still for awhile would feel nice." Caden suggests to Alric.

Caden is sore and battered, he is still of a mind to find out more if he can but will be wanting to put this day behind him fairly soon.
