Once the danger was over Eikana snapped the blades back together and replaced the pin that held them in place as a bow before replacing the string. Her shoulder ached but other than that she didn't feel any worse for wear. She hadn't expected she'd need armor the first day, so she hadn't...

Eikana found herself enjoying the fight, even if she had one of her khopeshes holding back the beast's claws the other was free to swipe at the opponent. At some point, she'd switched from looking like a novice to showing her prowess with this customized weapon. The metal had some flexibility to...

The reason she'd fired her first shot was really just to get the arrow out of the way, though she had hoped it would distract it to some extent. Still, she had brought her blades up with the outward curved edge facing her to block the sweeps of the claws. As the blows struck she would push...

Eikana saw this as a very good thing, she knew she could take more hits than the others if she could keep it distracted. So as it charged she took aim and fired at the easiest target before quickly taking out a hidden pin in her bow, which subsequently came apart. Her fighting style was smooth...

Talruun immediately changed his stance, and eyed the beast appraisingly before calling out, "What is it weak to?" he'd never exactly had the honor of fighting one of these things but nor did he know that a skeletal wyvern would be a possible assailent. Eikana had taken her bow from its resting...

Eikana was the first to follow his instruction, unsure whether to reach for her bow or not. For the moment she merely pulled it to the side so that she could quickly grab it should the need arise. She'd known this land as a young woman, and she knew very well that its inhabitants could be less...

Once Sa'Netel had finished taking off the connectors he turned to helping Talruun with the ropes. By this time most of the ropes were connected to the wagons so he focused on adding another shorter length near the end of each one. He worked silently, as there was very little room for...

"We would be unable to bring them with us if we do not wish to pull the wagons ourselves. I suppose we will bury them, better than giving away our position. It appears someone sabotaged our plan with poison." Sa'Netel explained having tossed the ones he'd already moved to the side away from the...

The light gave the creatures pause, at least, as they were distracted from the source of their sudden anxiety. By all appearances it seemed to work as expected. In any case it gave Talruun enough time to find what he'd been looking for, much unlike his runic workings this was a spoken verse. It...

"Anything to reveal why they act as they do. It stand that we should ascertain why they would suddenly refuse after making the journey away from the rest of the herd." The man said without looking up from the book. The Shexili lettering was oddly simple compared to the spoke language, mostly the...

"Do you know clerical work? I have trained for battle more than communing with nature." Even the prickly exterior of Talruun seemed dampened by this occurrence. He wasn't exactly shaken, but to him this situation looked like the gods had wanted the mysterious deaths. That was a possibility he...

"Typically they're confrontational with other creatures, even their own predators." She said, trying to think about the possibilities, "They're afraid of certain fruits, but we also steer away from them for most purposes. Or they could hear something they don't like?" Sa'Netel had managed to at...

As Talruun was trying to instruct the gedas into their harnesses, it seemed something went wrong. The beasts paced anxiously, almost seeming to distrust the wagons themselves. Talruun did his best to try guiding them but the closer he took them the more aggressively they acted. One going so far...

When asked about her motives in choosing this particular place to dock Eikana didn't have to think about her answer at all it seemed, "It was the closest familiar access point to our set goal and it seemed an easy spot to set everything in place. We also did not want to alarm the gedas who...

As they neared the land Eikana set about untying some ropes near the back of the ship; what had appeared to be a raised portion of the ship actually proved to be caravan wagons that had been tied down. They weren't apt to slide unless the ship pitched heavily forward or back, their skates were...

Sa'Netel seemed to think about that one for a moment, "Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever actually met him before yesterday. I had heard of him of course, battlemages are the ones who we have to contact for improving our weapons with poison and the like, but I suppose he keeps it...

"It helps that she's so motivated... and aggressive. I've never heard of any operation taking over a week, and the only thing I've ever heard of taking a week is preparations to greet a visitor. It's always struck me as odd how they can simultaneously give so much respect and hatred to...

Eikana busied herself in checking the ship, and asking the crew if there was anything that needed done. She noticed a few details that made her uneasy, but there was no thing to be done about that. Eventually a crew member told her that the only thing she could do to help was assist the cook, in...

"Yes, we should be ready now. I suspect the ship will reach land in a few days, so long as our mage friend does his job of course." Eikana said as the priests began leading the gedas to their place on one of the lower decks. Talruun grunted in response to her jab, though it might've been a...

"Once our upstart commander gets here." Talruun grumbled. Eikana paused in her tussle with one of the great beasts and said, "To be fair, he had to do more than simply picking up a satchel and glaring at the docks-men." Sa'Netel had been hung up in finding their last companion, the phoenix...
