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 "Probably not today, but there might be some wild animals."
- Boy "Cool!"
- R "You know what the best kind o' blood is?"
- Boy "No, what kind?"
- R "Orc blood."
- Boy "Why's that the best kind?"
- R " 'Cause it means yeh killed an orc!"
- 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
- 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
- As the stranger is leaving town he seems to cast a spell, but R immediately jumps him to stop the spell
