Maal Brengain drops her shield and weapons unceremoniously upon the floor and moves to the closest empty bed to sit down.

"We were clearin' out th' ring o' brambles to th' north o' town.  It had been poisoned or sumthin'...  There were some strange humanoid creatures there an' they had covered th' elemental symbols on th' rocks with their own bull's 'ead symbol.  I took one o' their swords and smashed one o' th' dark gems in the bull's 'head.  After that I felt sick an' weak... like I 'aven't slept in a week!"  *hack*  *cough*

Quote from: AsheSo, what happened to you this day? I've not seen someone in this sort of condition for a very long time."

"'Ere now, are ye deaf, man!  I jus' tol' ye what happen'd ta me!"  *cough*

Maal Brengain looks over to to her recently met companion, "Dale, did ye happen ta bring along one o' them bull's 'head symbols?  I thought ye might've pick'd one up..."  *hack* *cough*

Quote from: green:0758cf34fdI saw it.  That was a great job of cutting and pasting, Himo.  Yet, as you can see, we are starting from scratch here, so I recommend you repost your responses one at a time here (if you have time to do so) as we progress forward.  Let's take it slow and not jump too far ahead this time.[/color]

Maal Brengain walks sluggishly across the fields.  She ignores the gawking farm tenders and heads straight for the barn where they had talked with Jared MacDougal earlier.

Maal Brengain will stand by silently (as is her way) while Dale explains things to Jared MacDougal.

Once the business there is complete, she will walk back to the town (slowly rather than briskly, I would think).

[color=green:35a99b86e4]Since Ragnar's departure was rather abrupt, I don't believe Maal is aware that he intends to report immediately to Julius.

Therefore: If Maal is aware that Dale will be reporting immediately to Julius, then she will instead make her way to Ashe's home (where she hopes to find some treatment for her mysterious "evil magic" illness [lowered CON ability]).

If she is, for some reason, not aware of Dale's intent, then she will report to Julius first upon arrival in the town before making her way to Ashe's home.[/color]

Maal Brengain's demeanor is silent and sullen as she plods her way down the road toward town...

After the cart stops for them she stubbornly waves off Dale's offered hand.

She then violently coughs up a wad of ash-colored phlegm and spits it upon the ground before leaping up into the back of the farmer's wagon.  Her face seems somewhat peaked, somehow even paler than usual, but she obviously still has the same muscle strength that she did before and is able to exert herself in bursts of energy.

Yet she continues to cough up the dark colored phlegm during the entire ride back to town and is unabashed in her ability to spit it a good distance off the cart as they roll along.

Quote from: wildfireIn the hold of the wagon the older man looks to Maal and says, "Lass, perhaps a drink will soften your throat and bring some color back to ye." He opens the lid on a water barrel and dunks a dipper filling it with water. He then hands the handle to Maal. "Oh, I'm Jarro by the way."

Maal receives the dipper and nods to Jarro.  "Thank ye, Jarro," she rasps, through a dust and phlem clogged throat.  She takes a long pull from the cup, draining it entirely in one gulp and then wipes the sweat and dust from her face with her forearm.

Quote from: Blackspear"Huh?  What animal did he take shape as?"  Dale turns to Maal and asks her "How did you solve the problem?   What caused the infection?"

Maal Brengain hacks up some more dark-colored phlegm and clears her throat.  She looks over to Dale, staring directly at him with her black eyes.  Despite the cupful of water, her voice is still raspy as she answers his question:

"'E took th' shape o' a rat.  I know not th' cause o' such illnesses, Ashe cured th' three boys tha' were infected by th' rat-man, Rawlin'.  But fer Rawlin' himself, only death waited.  My companion, Jarmok, hacked him up with 'is axe and 'is severed 'ead was brought back ta Julius."

Maal's scarred upper lip curls up awkwardly into a sneering smile.  A chipped upper tooth (just beneath the scar) shows conspiculously from within her mouth.

Maal Brengain will accompany Dale back to the large barn and will stand by silently (as is her way) as he talks with Jared MacDougal.

Once the business there is complete, she will walk back to the town (slowly rather than briskly, I would think).

If Maal is aware that Dale will be reporting immediately to Julius, then she will trust in him to make an accurate report and will make her way to Ashe's home (where she hopes to find some treatment for her mysterious "evil magic" illness [lowered CON ability]).

If she is, for some reason, not aware of Dale's intent, then she will report to Julius first upon arrival in the town before making her way to Ashe's home.

Quote from: green:2f3d41460cAnyone want to swim? Depending upon the reactions of the rest of the cast, I have a couple of routes by which Maccabeus is likely to go.[/color]

OOC: Maal is not feeling up for a swim.  As stated, she plans to return to town immediately upon resolving business with Jared.[/color]

Quote from: green:f4338e9859I may be overreacting here, but this thread is totally discombobulated. Am I the only one reading this?!?

Could we please take this one step at a time? Please?[/color]

Yikes!  Hey, I'm just going with the flow.  I removed my post (the one answering Dale's question), and will repost it at the proper time and in the proper chronological place when we get back there again.

If you want to restart this post then go for it.  I think perhaps it should be up to Wildfire, since it's his post (and his game!).  Again, I'm just goin' with the flow here.[/color]

Hi gang,

I have finally posted Wildfire's map of Threshold here on kulgar.org.

Sorry it took so long!
Enjoy!

Quote from: DrayHad I been a responsible DM, this is exactly what I would have posted. Well done.

No problem!  You mentioned converting the dates and I started going through the in-character discussions making the fixes (I haven't actually gone in and fixed the logs yet, though).  And I figured that if it wasn't exactly what you wanted, we could tweak it later anyway.

Yar!

Quote from: green:faff8ffc1fOOC: You might also wanna light a fire under phin's rump and get him back on here!  :D [/color]

OOC: Heh!  I thought this would do it!  If he doesn't check in soon, his butt's gonna burn off!  I exchanged a couple of e-mails about this particular idea with him before making the post (in the wrong forum, of course).  He's prolly busy...  we're all busy in diff ways and at diff times.[/color]

Quote from: green:df4a54108eOOC: Man it's weird playing with so many talented DnD players. Please continue this thread, the difference between Maal and Erin has me completely addicted to these posts.[/color]

OOC: Heh!  All of these in-character threads are addicting to me too (even the ones I'm not involved in)!  I start to go through withdrawals when it quiets down for more than a couple of days!  Thanks Dray!  It's rewarding to hear that you're enjoying these posts as much as I am.  :-D[/color]
