We're all in camp. If there are any problems with how I've used people, let me know and I'll edit for the night.

No problem with Sythric.

And WOW! Leod is beginning to "show his qualities"!

Good post Tevildo!

Arry’s post

While the others saw to Sythric and Vaenosa, Brand urged Lady to a place on the opposite side of the fire. He was glad of the general hubbub of the camp – the settling of the wounded; the preparation of the evening meal. It drew attention away from him.

He sat for a moment in the saddle, catching his breath as he mustered the energy to dismount. His left arm was all but useless now; it was so swollen and very painful.

Lady stood stock still, sensing her owner needed what small assistance she could give. Brand loosed the cinch and let the saddle drop to the ground. He undid the buckle that held her bridle and she backed away as he held onto it, loosing it from her head.

‘Good girl!’ he said, patting her on the neck. He opened one of the small bags tied to the back of the saddle and gave her a handful of oats. ‘There’ll be plenty more once we reach the Golden Hall.’ She eyed him as if skeptically and made no comment save the crunch crunch of her teeth on the grain. Lady looked hopefully for another hand out, but when none was forthcoming, she wandered off a little to nibble on the dried tufts of grass about the edges of the camp.

Brand dragged his pack and bedroll near the fire. Unlike earlier when he felt hot, now he felt quite chilled. Pulling his cloak about him, he sat down carefully on one of his folded blankets and drew the other up over his shoulders, pulling it tight about him. His teeth were chattering despite the heat from the cook fire.

Someone handed him a mug of warm tea . . . and he mumbled out a word of thanks . . .

Meghan has called for Leod's help . . . Brand is sick.

My save is filled.

Ugh! I knew there was a reason why I told my people I couldn't become a doctor or nurse. Here's a link that talks about how you can use honey instead of antibiotics. (Leod is no slouch as a healer.) Here.

Also, the clove oil is for real. It's supposed to be a disinfectant or something like that.

Brand better improve or he's not going anywhere tomorrow (game time, that is).

I deleted my save... I wanted to make a bit of a funny post of Osmod going to grab the teapot, getting distracted and holding it by the metal.... but the story progressed other ways and I think it'd be out of place. I'll try to have another post up tomorrow, anyone cares to interact with Osmod?
