A Meeting in the Night - April 17, 2015


  • John has a still so Robin refills her "water skein"
  • RST stay w/ various residents
  • Midmorning of the next day RST meet up
  • R yells "Who wants ta learn how ta fight?"
    • Several people show up some women, middle aged men & 1 very exuberant 8 yr old boy
    • Much sighing from T
    • Boy "Do I get to kill someone?"
    • R "If they're threatenin' yer family."
    • Boy "Today?"

  • R & S see a wagon approaching town from N
  • R is training and yells to S to go check it out
  • T is too busy healing to notice
  • S sees a small halfling-sized wagon w/2 halflings walking along side with a flame-haired man with his leg in a splint riding in it
  • S calls to R
  • R runs over and bear hugs Russ and carried him none-too gently the rest of the way to town and thumps him down on a stump
  • The hug and run do not do him any good, so T sends R away to clean herself up while she doctors him back into a semblance of health
  • The halflings pull into town and start a fire and cooking lunch, which smells pretty good.
  • Too much talking to keep up with about old times when R comes back
  • S does NOT know how to cook
  • S "When it goes up, thump it to make it go down." - R "Don't touch me brother."
  • That night during S's watch a creepy dude walks into town. He had a deal with the ruffians for
    • 3lb salt
    • 5lb cured meat
    • 100 arrows
    • 8 - 10 yr old boy
      • R "Yer creepy as fuck!"
  • Much more chatting in which they send the stranger off without any of the goods and without a refund since they don't have the money
