Ashlyn stands up and immediately checks her back.
When the last images of the dream/vision fade, she looks around at her surroundings in confusion. She glances at the note and confirms Carth's translation.
"Yes, I think so. It seems we've been given a new lease on life."
Number two for me. I wonder how many times I'll get.
Eve:
Eve eyes the statue of the woman and walks to it.
she points to it as she speaks
"Did anyone else dream of this woman?"
Vona:
Vona replies to Eve
"I didn't."
she then points to the statue of the man
"I saw him in mine."
Eve:
Eve replies to Vona after looking over the statue of the man
"Well you got lucky dreaming of a reasonable handsome man."
Vona looks over the group again in a more awake state
blushing before shyly moving behind the statue of the Man.
Standing up, Zegenva will approach the Ashlyn. She speaks in a low voice, trying to keep this conversation between them.
"So, Ashlyn, do you remember when we met? I asked you if you saw a woman standin' behind me outside the entrance to the Kirk, and you said no. Well, that statue," pointing at the statue of the woman, "looks exactly like her. I also saw her in a dream, like she did." With the last statement, she nods in the direction of Eve.
Eve:
"Your right, we introduced ourselves, but forgot to thank you.
Likely due to being half-awake since that was the best sleep we had in days.
As we spent the last few weeks running from those hags and coven members."
Eve bows a bit in thanks to the group.
"So Thank you all."
then goes back to her regular posture.
"Though given our current attire, I can understand Vona wanting to hide behind that statue.
At least it's better then the scraps we had left before finding them."
"I saw a man at the kirk just before you arrived who looked like that," she points to the male statue.
"You're welcome," she says to the two they rescued. She looks around for their equipment.
New boots for Vona and Eve
and a cloak for one of them.
yes
Resist elements and can't be destroyed.
The young cleric eyes them warily.
We still have need of some things.
Eve:
Eve notices Adroushan eyeing her and Vona with wary eyes and looks at him,
then turns to face him and takes a bit of a forward leaning stance with her hands on her hips.
"You think me and Vona are dangerous in some way... don't you?
Well, me and Vona had a heck of a time evading that coven and trying to survive for the last few weeks.
It was hell for those few weeks, the only other lucky break we got other then you helping us was that cave we found and hid in for a few days.
As it had some stashed food and water along with these clothes hidden in the back among a few skeletons."
Vona:
Vona comes out from behind the statue to grab and calm down Eve,
but is still a bit flustered about her attire and ends up tripping on something, landing face first.
"ow, ow, that hurt."
She looks to find what tripped her and finds she tripped over a cloak with a pair of boots next to it next to the statue.
she smiles at the discovery and quickly puts the cloak on, then the boots
"Well that was a piece of good luck...even though it started bad."
Eve:
Eve then check the area hoping there is something she can use and finds another pair of new boots next to the statue of the woman.
crying a bit she adds
"Looks like our luck is finally turning around...."
Happy that the two women have found something to cover themselves, Ashlyn starts to consider their next move.
"So, where to next? Thought, it might be helpful to determine where we are now."
Vona:
Vona notices, as she gets up after putting on the boots,
something past the tall grass around the pedestals of the statues.
"Hey, what is this.
Looks there is a plaque at the base of the statue."
Then looks at the other
"Looks like they both have plaques."
Zegenva will walk up to the statue of the woman and see if she can see what the plaque reads.
@Ashlyn
Nope you got nothing...
I'll allow a re-roll...
@Zegenva
the Plaque reads
Lady of the Promise,
Servant of the Son,
The Redeemer.
Anatoli reads aloud
Man of the Law,
Servant of the Father,
The Judge."
Sounds like Abadar to me. What's the other one read?
Stepping back, Zegenva will read the plaque aloud.
"Lady of the Promise,
Servant of the Son,
The Redeemer. "
Milon and Joanne mentioned ruins that are a safe place to camp,
Milon even mentioned strange dreams have happened to those that have rested there.
Looking at Eve and Vona, Zegenva will step slightly closer to them. "So, you say that you saw the people that these statues represent in dreams? Did you see anyone else? Also," At this point she turns to the rest of the group, "Did anyone else have dreams of these two? Or anyone else for this matter? These ruins are noted for causing strange dreams to those who spend the night at them."
She is almost tempted to say more, but wishes to hear the others replies to her questions first.
Eve:
Eve replies
"Yeah I saw a big city and it was raining, she mentions something about Judgement being done."
Vona:
Vona replies
"Yeah I also saw a big city when it was raining, and he mentioned something about Judgement to a gnomish man."
Carth looks around at the group discussing things. "This is far more than I signed up for. I'll find answers elsewhere. Good luck in this forsaken place. Maybe I'll find Mahonrai he seemed like he might be able to tell me a few things" With that the Aasimar slings his sword over his shoulder and exits the temple.
"Adroushan? Brunhild? What about you two?"
Brunhild shrugged. ”Just a demoness promising me eternal youth if I do what it wants. But it said that it is good now.” She smiled wryly. ”Those types of deals always end up working out in the end, right?”
The cleric snarls a comment involving lies and seduction.
We need to continue with our own quest.
..
Vona and Eve talk with each other as the party finishes breakfast and gets ready to go.
Finishing off the last if her food, Zegenva stands up from the sitting position she had been in. Swinging her pack up to her shoulder, she will approach the rest of the group. Lowering her voice slightly, she asks them
"So, where do we need to go next? I know that we had to do something at the Dwarven Monastary, but I don't remember if there was anythin' else. Also, what are we going to do with those two?" She tilts her head in the direction of Eve and Vona. "As I see it, we could bring them with us, which would put them in danger quite likely. They were handy in a fight though, so they could be useful. Alternativley, we could send them back to town, either alone or escorted. However, this would either put them in danger for bein' alone, or it would take up valuable time."
The cleric reminds the group about the information from Laurel.
"Well, for the elderwood mold, there’s gotta be an oldest tree in the vale. Damned if I know where it is, though.
The rat’s tail and mushrooms are even longer shots. Way north, toward the mountains, people say there used to live a bunch of dwarves.
They’re not there anymore, but I’d bet their forges are. If you can find ironbloom anywhere around here, that’d be your best bet.
As for the rat’s tail, who knows? Well.
Actually. Ulizmila, the witch that lives deep in the woods might. She’s a crafty, mean thing that knows all sorts of strangeness.
She might even have one. I don’t know what she might want for it, but I doubt it’d come cheap.
My grandmother traded her sight to the old crone for a few pages of what she knew, and that was years and years back,
"The Dwarven ruins have something evil within, slumbering," Ashlyn says, rubbing her chin in thought. "We need to be very careful not to awake it."
Adroushan looks over at the survivors.
Either of you know anything about a dwarven monastery?
Eve:
"Sorry, I don't know a thing about dwarven monasteries other then they are made by dwarves and likely found on a mountain."
Vona:
"If your referring to the one in Near the forest of the Darkmon vale, All I know is that the Dwarves there follow Torag, and the monastery is two levels, one ground and one below."
"Well, if we want to find the monastery, maybe we should head towards the mountain." Zegenva tilts her head slightly as she looks at the two women, before speaking up again. "If you wish to accompany us, I believe that the group consensus is that you may. However, you are free to do as you please." With that, she hefts up her pack, clearly ready to get the day started.
The young cleric actual smiles at the two ladies.
My apologies and my thanks. May Erastil forever guide your steps.
The hunter gathers his gear.
Looks like we are bound through the Darkmoon forest and to the mountain.
Adroushan will lead.
Ashlyn readies her bow and follows Adroushan out.
