Battle is over. Out of initiative

Crowd is cheering. Only gnome seems more interested in investigating the effect of his fire bomb and what's left of it.

Mal walks up to gnome and says, "What you find out, friend? If more come, does Fire work better than force?"

After discussion with the gnome, he walks up to the lizard and says, "Thank you, Yoth. Your help was so valuable in that fight.

"I think we should rest, lest we get assaulted again by more monsters."

He then goes back to where his gear was, collects the javelins, his great sword, his armor, and any other items he might have dropped or not brought with him to this fight, and then he asks the woman who released him from the box thing: "Is there any safe place that Yoth and I can rest?"

OOC:

Sorry! Like I said before, weekends (especially Sundays) are tough posting days for me.

Lilly

Lilly soon appears This was unexpected. I'm afraid the group of maze runners did not survive there and were killed by those. Your arrival were were so fortunate. Usually we suggest those arriving to immediately have rest, but I would be happy if you could stay until other maze runners return from maze - just in case these we not the only monsters to decide come out of maze.
And she order some people to dig a few pit traps.

Gnome is brusque, but you understand it was only bomb he had and is going to make more now as he saw it working.
Elf who were healing you is more cooperative. He explains that maze runners usually bring some ingredients from the maze. Craftsman in the settlement are able to design some equipment useful in fighting monsters. He was able to create 3 holy water bottles and could make more.

OOC:

I plan to have you meet the base team returning from maze before you finish short rest and then you will be able to take long rest. But we need to wait for them and could do some role-playing and lore question-answer with Lilly meanwhile

Yoth nods at Mal's thanks, and then agrees with the sentiment about rest. "Indeed. We would do well to rest."

Yoth looks around the camp, taking special note of those that helped them during the fight. It appears that what Lily initially told him was true - these people are as much prisoners here as he is. Strangely, the fight has left Yoth feeling more comfortable with his situation - at least as far as the people of the camp are concerned.

Yoth gathers his possessions and takes them to his tent to rest. He puts his armor on, in case more monsters should charge into the camp.

"Lily," Yoth says when the old woman next checks on him, "do you or any of these people know how you came to be here? Or did everyone arrive with no memory as Mal and I have?"

Mal nods, agreeing with Lilly's assessment, and puts his chain mail armor on. He investigates the undead bodies, hoping to find armor or weapons or something else that may prove useful. He gathers whatever arrows and the bows, as well, in case he finds someone who could use them.

He then takes a whetstone and starts to sharpen his greatsword, cleans the blade, and then moves to cleaning and fixing the grip on his maul.

He also asks Lilly: "Are there other stores of armor, or maybe some form of food or healing to help Yoth and I manage our wounds. We would have faired better had we enough time to properly prepare for that last fight."

Lilly

Your memories will come slowly come back to you just as they do for everyone here.
Lilly sigh, but then smiles and add Every morning I wake up with new memories, it is like putting pieces of puzzle together.
Then she asks you to look at the settlement - you notice smith at work in an improvised workshop, you see woman working with some herbs, and others working.
You must be thankful for equipment you got in your cage. Our tools are primitive and resources scare, but we try to get some items for maze runners done. I believe the gnome will be able to tailor another bomb or to by tomorrow morning.

OOC:

Later when you join the base group I will explain rules for getting new equipment. You can't buy anything, but you will be able to order equipment prepared for you, but it will take time. Full plate for example would take 5 days to create so it is not an option, but a settlement smiths if work together could prepare one splint during one day.

Mar 29, 2022 9:45 am

OOC:

You gather 2 Longswords and 2 Longbows from the enemies as well as let's say 20 arrows

Mar 29, 2022 9:55 am

Later Lilly explains you what a maze runner means. There are some experience adventurers such as yourself in the settlement who run the deadly maze. Maze doors open each day at the same time and closes with 8 hours. Maze contains monsters and chests. Chests contain food, tools, ingredients - those are used in the settlement to tailor equipment as mentioned before.
Since there are 4 doors maze runners are split into 4 parties and each party has their own bag of holdings to put content of chests into.

Not every adventurer survive, but a few new cages appear from underground ever day providing reinforcement. Despite high risk no adventurer have yet declined the chance to go into the maze to get food and items.

If you have any questions about maze or settlement life - now is the time to ask them

Mar 29, 2022 3:13 pm

OOC:

Skipping detailed roleplaying, Yoth would have these questions:

1. As he asked previously, he wants to know if the others in the camp are amnesiac, and also if they know how they arrived at the camp.
2. Is the food from the mazes the only source of food for the entire camp?
3. Is anyone in the camp thinking of ways to escape their location - which seems to be a prison? Or is the camp simply content to just survive for as long as they can?
4. Does anyone know how long the camp has existed? Has it been here longer than anyone currently alive in the camp? Or are there people in the camp who have been here "since the beginning" (whatever that may mean)?
