DAY 8

Swordsman can't contain his excitement and rises bright and early to sift through the huge pile of native belongings left behind by the once and future Dragon. His hirelings arrive at a more leisurely pace and lend a hand. Soon the Swordsman is outfitted handsomely with new boots, a sturdy bow, and a couple of good horses (Swordsman with a Medium Bow - shiver). Witch flies off to some nearby woods to recover and renew her magical energies, only to find her kitty tagging along after the hidden Elf. "Kitty! What are you doing here... you're supposed to be headed to the Sta... oooh." She looks around nervously, grateful that she took the precaution of hiding. Eduinae, left alone in the Deep Woods, sighs and heads over to the Small Campfire, lured by the promise of bows.

Sorceror and Witch-King finally get to take their turns in peace, one looting the Hoard while the other recovers his magical strength. Five of the travellers and several henchmen converge on the Pool, sharing its location (hard to miss with people diving in and out of it every few minutes), and vying to discover its treasures. A few items are pulled out... suddenly Mandrake comes spluttering to the surface, "hey guys! There's a flooded Crypt down here... but the door is too heavy for me to open!" All eyes turn to the powerful Knight...

In the evening, Mandrake and Sir George take some time out from the Pool party to confer. The Magician pulls out a shimmering scroll and calls forth a bright light, which he uses to examine Sir George's aura, all the better to remove his curse. They spend the rest of the evening going over detailed diving directions so that Sir George can find the Crypt tomorrow. Elsewhere, the Swordsman daringly defeats the remains of the native bands around the campfire (with a little help from his friends).

Sunset

The Goblins wake up as if from a strange dream, and look around for the odd Magician that befuddled them - prudently nowhere to be found. (Deal with Goblins expires)

The Pool party of the previous night continues with even more revelers, the Wizard providing fireworks that glow strangely on the surface of the Pool as the partiers splash in and out, creating a surreal experience and a rare moment of levity in a dangerous land.

The Sorceror and Witch-King contemplate the Spider from hiding and decide whether or not it deserves to live.

The Witch and the Elf hide from one another... only the kitty knows their locations for sure and she isn't telling.

Swordsman and Eduinae trade stories of their travels since last they met, and he shows her the debris and belongings scattered around the clearing still to be sorted through. She admires his new gear, though most of it is too heavy for her. The remaining Lancer (4,5) and Bashkars (1,1) keep a wary distance and make their own camp.
