"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.

OOC: 09:06, Today: Alastrine rolled 14 using 3d6.  Shape Earth 15
09:08, Today: Alastrine rolled 8 using 3d6.  Earth to Stone 15
09:19, Today: Alastrine rolled 11 using 3d6.  Watchdog 15

Urrun puts the coins in the common pot.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 596):

As does Tonkin, with a look from Hograth...

They settle down for the night, and Hograth and Tonkin do some Crossbow training, setting up a target outside at considerable range.

the sun begins to climb in the sky, those of you who are lagged need a few hours sleep.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 598):

Melchizadek rests while the guards are there. The presence of the sun comforts him.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 598):

while four or so hours of sleep might round everyone out, it will bring you close to noon; days are short here in Winter, and worse things are about at night than the day to be suire.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 600):

Hograth and Tonkin will rest some after their shift, before heading out to scout around at about noon...

Others will be invited along.
