Out Of Character

[mushgnome]

If we do rest, Dieter is uninjured and can keep watch.

Highbough can watch in the other direction.

[flightcommander]

Armando, too, can keep watch.

Is Des/Mondes still atop the wall? I'm assuming the "illusion" is still in affect and so anyone atop the wall would be occluded.

[coffee]

Dieter will be happy to stand watch while his comrades rest.

If the view from the top of the wall is occluded in any way, he'll move outside. But if he can see out, he'd rather stay up on the wall. He'll also monitor the visibility inside the courtyard, in case he can catch a glimpse of Gustave.

Sorry to be late with my congratulations - very busy work-wise - but brilliantly played, mgtremaine!

[sully]

Seeing as how everyone else is at full health, or close to it, Dorgan will put out his flask and have a nip for himself.

Once that warm feeling settles to the bottom of his stomach, he'll climb back to the top of the wall and then converse with Dieter as to the plan of action to find Gustave and Desmond.

EDIT: Meant to put this in the IC thread, will copy over.

I confess to profound confusion. I don't know who's in the orchard, who's atop the wall, how high the walls are, how great the breach in the wall is, what time of day it is ...

I do know Armando is in the orchard, where he last saw Desmond, and wondering about the halfling's whereabouts ...

Ah, Desmond... He always tugged at the cords of restraint, didn't he? I believe the cord has been severed... Given his new class and access to a private thread, I'm not sure anyone can say they didn't see this coming.

Don't worry, he's just taking a peek around.

Apologies if things have gotten confusing.

The time of day must be drawing toward noon. This day you have already flown upon the backs of Hippogriffs in the chill dawn, alighted a mile or so from the abbey and then hiked up to it. Then fought back a pack of wolves in the orchard, which apparently must have alerted the occupants of the abbey so that your initial foray resulted in a rather brutal encounter with six werewolves and the Tar Fiend.

However, the combat ultimately went your way--four werewolves were slain and the Tar Fiend destroyed. Only Desmond and Gustave are missing, so you have done quite well out of it in the end.

Now that combat is over.

You have taken some rest and are about to press on into the abbey again, it would seem...

Proper update ingame coming tonight after work...
