After assessing the petrified troll remnants Alastrine says to Urrun, "I can help with this. Please keep still."
Laying a hand on the stone that entraps Urran, the Armourer casts a spell and the stone flows away, releasing him.

She tries to repeat this with Tonkin and is rewarded with a similar effect.

Visibly somewhat more tired Alastrine says, "There you go, boys. Now, I really do need a bit of a rest*. I'm very new to this, well, adventuring thing. No one ever told me how damned tired it makes you."

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 572):

Melchizadek will offer some energy to aid.

My Thanks ...

"Thank you for your assistance. Pity about the coin we missed..."

"You're both welcome, boys," replies Alastrine with a cheesy smile. "Just as long as you continue to keep trolls and whatnot from chewing on my admittedly trim posterior.."

She looks across at her benefactor, "Thank you, Melchizadek. That was very kind of you. Means I'll be useful again that much sooner."

======
OOC: Is it about time to sleep now?

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 576):

"And what a fine posterior it is. We will do our best to keep it intact."

He flashes her a cheeky smile.

She smiles back non-committally.

OOC: I've lost track of game time. When are we in 'our day'?
e.g. Just got up? Lunchtime? Nearly bedtime? etc

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 578):

you arrived in Winter at sunset and it is just now dawn.  It is however, late in your day, as you headed to Winter before noon, if that makes sense.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 579):

"Not sure if this is the best place to rest, though. Kind of creepy."

"It's out of the snow. it may get really cold around here at night," comments Alastrine. "Like freeze-your-blood cold."

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 581):

"Ah, yes. I have a scarf that keeps me warm. I wonder if it can be shared? Shall we try?"

Intrigued Alastrine asks, "May I see it?"

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 583):

The scarf is orange, triangular and about 4 feet long and feels magical to the touch.

"Thank you. This is magical," comments Alastrine. "Let's try that."

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 585):

It really seems to be made to be worn by one...

"Thanks for the thought, Melchizidek, but this only works for one person at a time," Alastrine says. "So I think, after our long period of activity, we should rest now, here, inside, out of the snow. Set watches, of course. Maybe in pairs. In a short while, if you think it's necessary, I can fill the doorway with a thinnish wall of stone."

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 587):

"Then we might suffocate. Thank you, but half filling it with a barricade that offers some cover but can be bypassed, and shot past, might be better. I will take first watch, and teach Tonkin a thing or two about using the crossbow."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 588):

Rawrfeena scolds Urun for his greed, but is interested in what he got.

In reply to Rawrfeena (msg # 589):

What did Tonkin get?

In reply to Rawrfeena (msg # 589):

Not greed, just need money to do anything with humans.

Urrun, who was gathering coin first acquired 75 gold coins ($6000) 211 copper ($211) and 184 silver ($3680)

Tonkin, who was scraping the leavings got 34 gold coins ($2720) 62 silver ($1240) and 117 copper ($117)


wihout Alastrine youmay have lost finers or even frozen to death.

OOC: Glad to be able to be useful!
:)

In reply to Narrator (msg # 592):

Or had hands broken when Hograth got you out.

Hograth is greateful. I am sure all spoils will be shared equally with all as a result.

For now, we head to rest with what we have.

When everyone is back inside and Alastrine has had a short rest (15 minutes), she concentrates on some of the earthy or stony ground around the doorway and by dint of spell fashions it up into a barrier across the doorway that's about chest height and a couple of steps, like a threshhold, on her side in case speedy evacuation is needed. The steps could also serve to allow a dwarf to fire a missile weapon over the barrier. She then turns the barrier and steps into pernmanent stone with another spell. "Done," she announces, and then casts a Watchdog spell before settling down for the night.
