[camp] The Rescue - Page 40

O.K. Well, apparently some of us want to go hunting and have a bath. We have been instructed we must keep this in mind when determining what to do. I don't see why we would be groggy since we all only had a 2.5 hour watch. However, we are. So...

Perhaps we stay here for the day. Do a little hunting. Look for a stream for a bath and just rest for the day? Maybe we could set up our fake camp again just outside of the wooded area. We could use the wooded area as a place for shelter ourselves. It will require us to stay up all night again though. This is more likely to be possible if we rest all day, I suppose.

Any other ideas or thoughts?

*******************
UPDATE: I just had another thought. Why not stay here two nights. Today we could spend hunting and resting. Tonight sleep using the same rotation as last night but with longer watches so we can sleep later into the day. This should be plenty of rest. Hang out again resting tomorrow. Then tomorrow night try our ruse again. We should be able to stay up all night at that point.

IC: Ice takes note of all the grumbling. As leader she recognizes this is not going to be a good situation if they can't agree and become satisfied in their quest once again. She turns to the group and says, "We are in no great rush, another day or two isn't going to matter. We will do no one any good too tired to fight or dead. Let's stay here for a day or two and rest."

Rescue camp

ICC: Daphne listens to Ice and says "You are kind-hearted but I did not come here for a village beauty contest." She then looks at the eyes of each one of the group and says in very loud voice "What kind of warriors, thieves and magicians WE are!? huh?. The kind that needs perfume and look good?. She then pauses and shouts: "WAKE UP! I understand we are tired but I do not think we should spend the whole day bathing, making ourselves beautiful just to end up in Dead's mouth! for Zeus!" So if you think you cannot handle it, then rest a little and then move your butt from the floor and do something! but do not pretend the ones that are up will feed you and hunt for you. If you work, you get food...don't work and get zero! *Daphne makes a circle with her fingers*

Note: Daphne is trying to use psychology with some of the members who are complaining

OOC: Wow, we better get into some real action before we kill each other! I knew we had low soul but to start fighting each other indicates that we must be very miserable. Let's get some food in us, and get a plan together and start thinking about our attack more than attacking each other.

IC: "This is enough! We have more important matters ahead of us than to be fighting each other. Let us put our minds to a plan of attack against these bandits and get moving."

So, do we stay here today or move out towards death's mouth?

IC: Ice scowls at Mud and says "I should have killed you on our last venture when you fell asleep on watch. Don't give me an excuse to do it now!"

Rescue camp

[Remi bares witness to the internal strife that has gripped the camp] (by all that is right, what rabble have I affixed myself to? These are not the hero's I was led to believe they were. I would be ashamed to be seen associating with them. Still it seems some still have their wits about them...But too few. It would have been better to stay and do needless battle with wolves then to allow ourselves to fall on one another like the foul beasts. Have they no pride?) [Remi sits silently with a pile of rubbish beside him and again makes ready his double. It is obvious to him that the party is in no mood to be rational] (I'm not going to draw attention to myself, there is too much to find fault with and there is no reason to subject myself to the danger) [When the opprortunity presents itself to vote a plan he does respond however] I agree with Ice. Though I do feel a sense of urgency to rescue your companion from what must be a seemingly endless night; I believe it to be ill advised to contest with the enemy while at the same time battling our own fatigue. I vote that we stay two nights, there is a good chance that our torches were spotted last night and it is possible that battle will come to us anyway. Let us prepare the ruse and rest while we may, and meet our opponents in top form upon the morrow. I see little reason for the entire party to remain awake during this night. If a single pair takes sleep during day, they can likely keep watch during the night to sound the alarm. As I am normally on horseback I feel that I should be one to sleep this day to be alert tonight--The resulting fatigue during the next day would likely not effect me as badly.

I.C.- "I move to that we hunt the wolves, a bit of fresh meat could do nicely. Besides it'll give us time to settle and work together, instead of this mindless drabble before us." As he speaks he picks up a few rocks and hands them to the would be slingers and smiles to all the members of the party. "What say ye all, yay or neigh."


O.O.C- Why must we fight one another it seems a little senseless to me. Although a little time together would do nicely to bring the group closer to each other rather than squabble and have us drift more.

IC: Sabina has a thought that just seems to bubble up out of her into speech.. "Upon my word! Is it the nearness to Death's Mouth that has us scrapping like wayward children? I feel in my gut that this place holds no good thing for man nor beast. Perhaps it is the evil of so many gone before us that lays like an unseen mist upon the ground, and we breathe the very spirit of contention amongst us!"

She shakes her head in puzzlement, while she grabs hold of the scruff of Mud's collar to pull him and Malice apart.

"Stop, ye curs! Or shall we let ye kill each other?" Sabina gives Mud a good shake and lets him go. She stalks off and paces the camp, edgy and irritable, mumbling, "...a bath wouldn't hurt either of ye, and would make my breathing easier ..."

She stops pacing and announces she's going hunting, pulling her sling from her pocket and counting the stones in her pouch. "Anyone with me?"

~~~
OOC: Some real food and rest might do us some good. And we still have no plan for actually entering Death's Mouth and getting through it.

We have a break for a few days before we post in party order again. Let's use it wisely. I think we should all re-read the last two scenarios so that we can be fresh on what happened. This should better help us plan.

Then let's discuss our plans. Now, one of the options is the ruse at night. However, I am not sure what that is going to do for us. It may bring us bandits, but will they be the ones that have our "friend" held captive? Will they know these other bandits if not. What good will they do us dead? Do we plan to just capture one for questioning? Let's really think this through. We don't usually get this much time to think, plan and discuss. Let's take advantage of the GM's currently very busy schedule and put it to good use.
