[Nerjin]

For a brief moment Sacha felt something in her soul. Something akin to the desire she felt for Ness. An overwhelming need to enter the ruins sprung up within her. She didn't quite know why. After a few seconds it faded enough for her to think clearly "I need to pray for guidance soon anyways. It'd be best for us to be prepared for whatever we can find in there."

In her mind, however, she was attempting to figure out the source of the longing. Treasure lust? Need for a break of the monotony of the boat? A chance to get rid of Ayeleth or Relic? A sign from her diety?

Possible. Definitely. Not yet. An intriguing idea. Unfortunately none of these offered the satisfaction of an answer. The only way to find out, she mused, would be to head inside.

[Dwarmin]

Relic made the one handed sign of the moon against her breast, a silent religious invocation asking her Goddess Anan for protection-finger and thumb trailing a sinuous crescent shape, ending with both the fingers touching the lips. She didn't quite understand why she did so, but the motions of the ruins were ominous in a way she couldn't say.

She was still eager to go on, but she knew her companions had very poor vision at night compared to her. It would be risky...still, she left whatever she might suggested unsaid.

"...well, it will still be there tomorrow..." She remarks, a bit letdown.

[Flying Dice]

Beolas sighs, "Aye, I suppose that ye've the right of it. We'll be back come morn', of course."

[Dwarmin]

"Ayuh. We could paddle a bit closer to it before we go on though, right?

Perhaps I can make out some more details." She suggests.

[Nerjin]

"Or we could do that tomorrow when we can ALL see possible details. We'll be getting close to it tomorrow. You can wait just like us."

[Dwarmin]

"Okaaaay." Relic says, in petulant tones.

[Nerjin]

"We can't see anything! You might be able to but what if there's something you miss? What if your magical elven eyes miss an archer who kills Beolas or Ness or Darwyn? More eyes have a better chance to see something. I won't risk my friends for your curiosity. You want to get close? You can swim."

[Sirus]

"I doubt there are any archers here, but Sacha makes a very good point. Let's return tomorrow after a good night's rest."

[Dwarmin]

Action: Back to the ship for a nights rest, majority vote!

[Nerjin]

Do the same as everyone already agreed.

[Flying Dice]

Sleepytiem.

[Tawa]

You all begin a trek back to the boat. Night falls quickly. It is pitch black by the time you've crossed the hills again. Luckily, Darwyn provides the necessary assistance to get everybody back without too much trouble.

The next morning, as you all begin your trip back, you hear some loud rustling to your right just before you begin climbing the hills. It sounds... threatening.

[Dwarmin]

After an abridged night spent having weird dreams of eating peaches with Beolas, Relic was remarkably spry this morning. As such, when she heard the noise, her bow was out with an arrow ready in a half of a second.

"...Well, that was threatening...whoever you are, you better come out of those bushes peacefully!" She said, before repeating it in Elvish, in case they didn't get it.

"Llha'orrom iya'au oamo, iya'au faoom a'rlo a'au a'r ha'so faaushos nooaoraurriy!"

Action: Standard warnings go.
Prepare for shootings, otherwise!

[Flying Dice]

Beolas draws his sword, waiting patiently.

[Tawa]

A rather loud snarling comes out of the bushes as Relic warns the hypothetical assailant. Relic lets her arrow fly in retaliation and the sound of pierced flesh is heard.

COMBAT!
