Sorala was described as a linguist and historian, so I designed her as an academic. She is a bit out of her depth in the setting, but she's a smart lass. I think she can cobble together what she needs to make craft rolls without the -2. With Istiel "shopping" for her, she should be in good shape for materials.
Ah, just realized, what are we doing posting in the gameplay thread!:P

Late entry - there was a bear hunt today! Led by the dour Keleshite, Hassan, the Chelish convict, and Istiel, a group of guardsmen and hunters managed to bring down a ferocious black bear, despite, at first, the seeming will of the gods to snag every arrow in branches and underbrush before they reached the creature. One guardsman was seriously mauled and recuperates in Sandra Thayer's tent, and another was hurt in the ensuing melee, but the convict, who has some seeming link to the gods, brought the mauled guardsman back from the brink. 9 days here and still the only death is Garrack's.
Mood was improved at dinner tonight. The bear was a bit tough - all muscle and no fat after the winter. I wonder how the winters are here?
Septimus checks on the badly wounded man in the morning and casts cure light wounds on him. dmg healed. He then makes a long term healing check. .
Septimus then goes and checks on the other militia member who was wounded.

The day passes uneventfully on the water and in Newspring.
Istiel continues to hunt when she is not on guard duty.

An armful of ripe berries and a squirrel is all she is able to find for the day.

Gozran 11, Sorala's Journal
Today started off cool enough, but quickly warmed to be uncomfortable in the sun. The pace of work seemed to slow a little. I opened my scribing station and was soon approached by a young man, Aldous, who needed some help creating some pitch for binding together the boards of a shack. We took some tree sap and boiled it to thicken, and added some crushed arrowroot - I think it will do for now.
Then, a short time later, a woman with a cold approached, having spoken to Aldous. I implored her to speak with Ingwe or the convict, but in the meantime made her a heady brew from cedar bark and dandelions simmered in springwater, similar to the recipes in my family going back generations. She seemed comforted as she went on her way.
Nothing much has happened today. Ingwe and the convict cared for and healed the guardsmen injured in the bear fight today. Hassan patrolled with his guards nervously, and the dwarves did whatever it is that dwarves do - hammering away and hawing on and on quite contentedly it seems.
The foragers and hunters didn't have much luck - it seems as if the wildlife know to avoid Newspring by now, and the plants don't regrow fast enough for our use. It seems we need to strike out further than we have, into this unknown wilderness - a frightening proposition to be sure.
The salvagers, according to their descriptions before they left, should be well on their way to the survivors' beach by now. I hope they are doing alright on the open water - the sun can be quite brutal without any shade.
Istiel has settled into a nice routine of hunting during the day while guarding the other foragers and watching over Newspring itself during the evenings.

Sorala sets up at her census and scribing stations, and writes on her parchement a new line: Alchemy As Needed. Carefully placing the statue of Garrack onto her workspace, she settles in for a hopefully busy day.

Day 11 Gozran 12
Gaross spend the morning working on the forge with the others that Vallen has recruited to do te work.
That evening he borrows some tools from Horn'Tos and works on finishing his stone Warhammer. He uses the stone hammer head he carved out the afternoon before and a stout stick whittled down to the proper shape and some leather strips cut from his apron.
Gaross struggles with getting the stone hammer head to fit solidly on the wooden haft. He actuall manages to break the haft. Frustrated he goes to Horn'Tos for help.

A beautiful, cool spring day.
Istiel decides, on a whim, to change up her usual routine today- most likely with disastrous consequences to Hassan's guard schedule. She spends the day time guarding foragers and patrolling, and then hunts in the twilight hours of the evening.
+6 food
If confronted on the matter by Hassan on return from her hunting trip, the elf simply displays the body of a whitetail deer fawn slung around her shoulders and continues walking.
Does she mention it to Hassan at all? How is this different to her usual routine? Are we working off the assumption that Istiel usually has guard duty sometime in the evening and she simply skipped out on it without talking to anyone first?
Earlier in the Day Septimus made the rounds of people, helping with treatments for minor injuries that have occurred since they started working again.
