As far as Taldash is concernem, all are welcome to partake from the wine, however it is not his to share ;)

I did say EVERYONE, but he wants to save some for later, if he has to he'll open a second bottle.

Those that have a drink roll fort saves and will saves

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Fort AND Will? oh boy.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

This does not bode well.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Whose saves are we missing?

Alerienne, and Elaine?

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 fort

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 will.

Since Alerienne's player has been missing since April first I'll DMPC her for a bit.

Alerienne:

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

After Alkaid has had a glass or two.

"This wine is sweet tasting, something feels odd yet familiar about it."

after a few moments

"Oh crap, this is Love Wine. Though the only thankful part is that judging by the taste, it was made less than 2 years ago."

Love wine what's that? Halloran looks rather blearily at Alkaid and gives her a silly grin, Have I mentioned how beautiful you are?

"Love wine is a odd wine that is also an aphrodisiac,
Where the longer its been aged the stronger it is."

seeing Halloran's grin and hearing his words
"And it looks like Halloran has gotten a bit drunk on it."

Raising his eyebrows at Alkaid's statement, Halloran says, An aphrodisiac, you say? Oh dear.

Pushing himself away from the table, Halloran stands up and says, If you will all excuse me, I think I will turn in early, before I do something REALLY embarrassing, and I'll take THIS with me. and with that he snags the bottle off the table.

Giving a rather sloppy bow to the table, he says, And with that I bid you all Good Night. turning around he staggers off to the stables, where hopefully he'll be able to spend the night without further incident.

Bottle's empty, thankfully

Kira sits back and watches Halloran talking with Alkaid. For a moment, she wondered if there had been any sort of relationship that was building to a sort of climax. Those events ended up quickly deflating, and she just sat back and enjoyed the warm feeling that spread through her limbs.

Having embarrassed herself enough earlier in talking with Alkaid, Kira just kept to herself while by the fire. When she felt sleep tug at her eyelids later that evening, she returned to the bunkhouse to enjoy the last few vestiges of civilization before the next day's promise of rugged adventure.

The sun rises up the next morning, with a slight chill in the wind.

Kira slowly rouses herself from bed as the morning begins. Here it starts, my first day out with these brave men and women. She stretches her arms and legs after rolling out of the rough bed. While some may have considered it to be a primitive place to sleep, it was comparable with what she had to work with back in Restov. Honestly, anything mostly horizontal will do.

Kira then dons her armmor, and then goees over to her horse to begin packing her supplies for the next few days. I already came here ill prepared. I'd hate to make everyone else late as well.

Halloran gets up, washes his face, gets dressed then goes outside to study his spells.

Elaine wakes up and prepares her spells outside.

Alkaid gets up and does her usual routine of stretches and exercise.

At Breakfast, Halloran looks around the table and asks, Has anyone seen Taldash? or Alerienne?

"I saw Taldash leave in the night, looks like he wanted to check something or was looking for something.
Alerienne is asleep in bed, I think she has a killer hang over."

Well that's awkward, do you think we should proceed without them?

"To proceed or not proceed that is a question?"

I think so, Halloran turns to Elaine and Kira and asks, what do you think? should we go ahead with the hunt now? or should we wait a day or two, for the others?

"I saw Alerienne earlier, and I don't think she'll be up soon at all. It may take several hours, or even another day. If we start out now, she may be able to catch up with the rest of us by nightfall if she even gets out of bed at all." Kira looks around the table, the unsure expression from the previous day returning to her face. "It would be nice if we have some more people to join in the hunt than you Halloran, Elaine, and me."

Kira looks at Alkaid and the other at the table. "Who else would be well suited to join us?"

Alkaid adds
"I think we have another 6 with hangovers at the moment.
As it looks like Oleg and Svetlana are sleeping in along with Happs, Kressle, Jack and Asta."

"As I made the breakfast this morning."

Kesten Garess:
"And my troops are going to be doing a patrol of the nearby roads today."

Lina:
"Though I wonder if I should join you, as I can stay here and tend to those who got a hangover."

Alkaid adds
"Though for Oleg Svetlana Happs, Kressle, Jack and or Asta it could also be exhaustion.
Not just the hangover of the wine last night."

Charlie:
"I would not be surprised if it was the latter."

Hank:
"What could not sleep last night?"

It would really help if we had someone who could hold their own in a fight, we're a bit lacking in the 'muscle' department. Halloran says.

Meaning no disrespect to either of you, Halloran says to Elaine and Kira, but I'm guessing going toe-to-toe with an angry boar is not high on your list of things to do, I know it's not on mine.

If we really had to, I think we could probably manage on our own, but I'd feel better about this undertaking if we had at least one other person with us.

Halloran looks around the table, Any takers? he asks.

Kira looked around the table, and tried to evaluate the various people seated at the surrounding table. Not necessarily directing her words to anyone, she says, "Yes, I for one would greatly appreciate some assistance."

She places her hand on the shoulder of one of the more roughly dressed men who she assumes to be former bandits preferably Frank, and quietly says "I would of course be eternally grateful to anyone," she squeezes her hand on that shoulder, "who would help us."

Elaines waits a for about two seconds then says "Help will be greatly appreciated as travelling this area in groups of three is not the wiset idea."

Frank:
Frank replies to Kira
"You offering something Miss." with a slightly pervy look in in his face.

Charlie:
"Aren't you compensating for something given you like to use big swords, though it's tough luck your sword broke the day before we got captured and redeemed."

Frank:
"Well getting caught and getting a chance for a better way of living ain't so bad."

After few moments after Charlie words sink in, frank replies

"Watch your words Charlie, and aren't you the one who got turned down by Kressle, Asta and almost all the other ladies you ran into?"

Lina:
"I swear most of you guys think more with your tools than your brains.
Let's face it both of you, are not the top choice or the hot stuff."

Charlie:
"Says the girl who looks and walks like a boy."

Lina:
"Hey, I'm just a late bloomer, and I'll really blossom."
looks at Alkaid then looks down at herself and pats her chest with both hands
and quietly adds with a slightly depressed face
"Well, I hope so......"

Alkaid replies to Charlie's shot a Lina's androgynous body

"You know that was a real jerk move hitting her where it hurts.
And women don't like it, it just makes you ugly."

Halloran choosing to ignore the wordplay says, Alright, we have 3 candidates, looking at Frank, Charlie and Lina, he asks, who wants to go with us to kill a wild boar?

Kesten Garess:
"They are acting more like squabbling kids."

Kira frowns at the squabbling between the two of these man-boys. While she has never minded being fought over, she truly disliked them attacking poor Lina.

Is Lina just young and undeveloped, or is she old enough that it's probable that she will remain androgynous the rest of her life? Would I be able to tell off of... heal, appraise? Wow, that'd be a weird and pervy use of a skill.

Kira looks at Frank, "Well, originally I was opento the possibility, but I have to admit that the way you treat others makes me doubt you could treat me as I would like"

Kira looks over at Lina, trying to convey a sense of compassion towards her, never liking the teasing centered on those who are, well, different.

Alkaid adds while sighing.
"Looks like I'll need to work on your manners,
And give a few more lessons on how to treat others."

Alkaid says to Kira in a whisper as she is next to her
"I you were thinking about poor Lina's condition.
If I had to guess she has very low hormone levels of various kinds including estrogens and androgens.
And if something is not done to correct it in a 5 to 7 years, she'll be stuck like that.
I already have an idea as to how to correct it."

"I'm just hoping there is another bottle of Love Wine.
This is due to Love Wine's tendency to kick Certain hormones into moving.
And the plan would be to extract that magic compound from it."

Ash:
"Kira and Alkaid are right. You both need more manners.
You should not poke a girl on something she's sensitive about."
