[Completed] - Valorei/Elves II - 2 April, 1 VC

[Keehnelf]

Let me know whether the plan is to rest just until dark, or until the following morning!

[Marullus]

To be fair, Valorei was explicit that only he and Dorvar were making the sled... Couldn't the others (including all spell casters) have gotten four hours of rest along with the horse while waiting for dawn? Then we could be underway?

[Keehnelf]

Motion carried: only Dorvar, Valorei and Baxtaw are at -1 and with no spells.

[MonkeyWrench]

I'm perfectly fine with that.

Valorei speaks up, "While the those of us that built the sleds have not had any decent rest I believe everyone has rested enough to be useable in a fight yes? I believe we should continue on, the more time we spend out in this wilderness with Olympia's... body, the more predators and scavengers we'll attract..."

everyone good to go?

[Marullus]

Seeing that neither the body, the horse, or any cargo are being left in the wilderness, Nihilius simply nods his assent.

[Scott308]

What, Dorvar is out of spells? He didn't even cast any!

Dorvar will nod his head wearily. I'll be tired, but I should still be useful in a fight- unless we encounter more of those giant flies. For some reason I was unable to do anything against them. The important thing is that our casters have regained healing and offensive magics, so we can begin travelling back to Vaul.

April 15, 1 VC - 10:00pm

The party, wear and demoralized from the loss of the mighty Olympia, resumes its long march back to Vaul across the moors. The sled with the cleric's body and the injuries to Mustard slow the party down, but they are able to continue making progress. Things are slowed and made even more unpleasant by the increased intensity of the powerful wind that had begun to assail them from the east as they left the forest. Thankful that it is at their backs, the party nonetheless has a few close calls as individuals are blown to the ground unexpectedly, or are hit by debris flying loose from nearby trees as they pass.

After four long, difficult days, the party finally slumps through the gates of Vaul after dark, happy to have returned with the now-slightly-festering corpse of their friend.

Please deduct four days' rations apiece. If Harold has been healing the injured, everyone is at full health apart from Mustard, who is still at 0 HP.

I will post a rewards summary in a bit.
