Pocket it. Wake someone else for next watch if there's time and sleep is being monitored that closely. Don't mention the visitor.

The Windblown Plains - By the Spritewood

Day dawns. The rest of the night was quiet - the only movement being the one on watch occasionally feeding the fire a few more branches. No it's died to embers, and you prepare to set out. Today the weather is cloudy, and a few stray raindrops fall irregularly.

Kyle stretches getting ready to go.

[Lyeos]

Collete stands off to the side, waiting for the others to 'decide' to go to the town. She looks as though she's going to fall asleep again at any moment.

[sjm9876]

Orchea wakes as the sun rises. Her hand moves quickly to her pocket, and upon finding the pendant still there a mixed look of relief and dread flashes across her face.
She nods to the watchman, before lifting herself to her feet using her spear, which lay directly alongside the small pile of brush she had slept on. She stretches, running through a few practice strikes with the spear, before smothering the fire.
Having done this, she waits for the others to rise, leaning on the pillar and staring towards the village, deep in thought.

'Hope you had a sound night. We've got a good walk ahead, although hopefully it will be an easy one.'

Her expression clearly shows that she doesn't entirely believe what she is saying.

[scapheap]

Subject springs awake, looking around. After a few moments, she relaxes. "So then, to the town?"

[sjm9876]

'Unless you fancy heading back through the golem wood, there isn't much other choice.'

[Lyeos]

Collete suddenly crouches and writes furiously with her finger in the dirt. Apparently satisfied with the result, she takes her staff and smacks the ground as loudly as she can with it, hoping to draw the other's attention. Her "message" reads: 'How long were we dead?'.

[kj1225]

Kyle looks at the message responds with a shrug.

[sjm9876]

'Maybe minutes. Maybe centuries. Maybe different times. Long enough, regardless.'

[Lyeos]

For his lack of helpfulness, Kyle receives a one-finger salute from Collete - it's quite obvious what she means by that... Upon receiving the guess that they might have been dead for centuries, however, Collete angrily spits onto the ground, then glances over at Subject, clearly expecting a guess from her.

Spoiler: Question! (click to show/hide)

 If I decided to use that Dead Touch thing on, say, Kyle, how I need to go about that?

[sjm9876]

Orchea raises an eyebrow at Collete's reaction.

'There is nothing to be done for it, mute. Just hope it hasn't been as long as I fear.'

A one handed combat spell. You can cast it as a combat action. So you could attack him now with it, but he could attempt to jump out the way. If you ambushed him, however, you'd get a +5 bonus to hit him, and you wouldn't be able to critically fail.

((wut?))

[scapheap]

'How long were we dead?'.

(Wait, what? What did I miss?)
