Blornvid is now Resolute so that Save should have advantage, but nice roll so no worries.Mar 29, 2024 1:04 am
Ealdwig goes through with the group, hoping to find something interesting. The strange feeling when he crosses the border catches him by surprise.
One of you guys could have warned me about that? I don't feel so good.

Arc follows the rest through the border. He remembers vividly the border storm he crossed, although he is not keen about talking about it.
Last time was only a bit unconfortable, nothing worth mentioning. But now I really feel bad, I guess It is not always the same. Shall we all rest for a moment in the plaza?

Kaarik is surprised by the uncomfortable feeling that pass through his body as he crosses the border.
Focusing on his breathing, he manages to keep control of himself.
Seeing some of the others suffering, he cannot help but feel a little guilty for his hastiness. Not knowing what to say, he remains silent.

Barley follows Kaarik through, wincing as he crosses through the border.

Blornvid, Kaaric, Barley, and Vaun all recover after just a moment but the rest have a vague feeling of pressure and disorientation. Those who have been through Borders before feel a growing sense of "strength and resistance" to the effects of the border. Arc recalls that those merchants who travel far and often have to cross Borders have said that after a while they are no longer bothered by them other than when they are actually transitioning. This has lead to bandits often using Borders as an ambush spot and taking advantage of the disorientation and animals chaotic reactions. A quick test reveals that the symptoms can be lessened but not removed by any of you healing abilities.
Moving on you wander deeper into the residential remnant. Signs of excavation and temporary habitation can be found scattered around. Signs of a small fire, likely for cooking mid day meals, a few stools and a table set up in one of the buildings with an intact roof, and miscellaneous pieces of small equipment like paper or scraps of rope. You get to the plaza and look around. Tracks indicate the entire area has been gone over, at least cursorily. One of the pavilions houses a dry cistern with a small fountain and the other to the north looks to have a well. to the south is a larger structure that is not in as bad of a state as the rest of the buildings in the area.
The remnant is about 150 yards square so not huge but not small

Let me know if you are searching the area, just passing through, need a map, go into more building, etcThe remnant is about 150 yards square so not huge but not small

"I don't think we need to do any searching here. This place is regularly investigated and searched. We'd have to be extremely good or lucky to find something they missed. I only recommended going through the Remnant because I thought it'd be faster and safer than trying to skirt around it.
"Our real destination are the next two where they have not yet been searched thoroughly. Hopefully, there will be much more to find there."

"Aye." Seeing Ealdwig struggle with the after effects of the Border crossing, he tries to lend him a helping hand to steady him through the worst of it.

Arc takes some time to recover, and just to be sure he is OK... Mmm... give me a moment please And a moment later he jumps up high and flies a couple of circles around the remnant and then lands at the spot he was before. Now I feel fine!He then listens to Skeeve and Blornvid, and nods.
Then he says, almost like talking to himself... I wonder how many times shall we need to cross these borders before getting used to it
OOC:
Arc'd appreciate to have a draft of an overview map of the place :) , as to imagine what he saw while flying, if it is not too much work of course.Then he says, almost like talking to himself... I wonder how many times shall we need to cross these borders before getting used to it

Arc nods in understanding You are probable right, but I still hate de dizziness, the disorientation, lasting more than the crossing itself.
Arc's memory is vivid on not recovering fast, and his face shows how uncomfortable he still is.
I even needed some air to shake it all off... If 5 or 8 crossings allows for such learning, I'm tempted to do them all now, even if It takes a couple hours, just to be free from such feelings in the future. Do you guys think this can be trained?

Skeeve chuckles. "If you figure out how, please tell me. And you'll get your next test when we leave the Remnant."
As they approach the other side, he says, "And look at that: here we are!"

Ealdwig slows down and stops walking all together. Wait! We have to do that again?! Hells! I didn't think about that. Why don't we just stay here awhile. Ealdwig gestures to the buildings.

Arc isn't fond of crossing any border, but figures It is best to get it done with as fast as posible and doesn't hesitate a instant. He crosses head on.
It is still uncomfortable, but not as bad as last time. Third time now, within two days... and trying to keep Up the spirit.

[ +- ] Arc's Ariel View

Entered at 1 and flew around shortly thereafter. You are about half way through these ruins and Arc saw other doors in/out on the far side. Approaching the Remnantyou saw 2 sets of doors on the east side and Arc believe there are similar doors on all sides of the Remnant.
Continuing on you find another exit where Arc predicted it to be and step back through the border.
No save needed at this time as it has no impact but I may ask for ST at other border crossings
The path on this side of the Remnant shows much less use and heads west. There are more trees the further west you look but you still make out the next Remnant in the distance.

"I agree, Let's move to the next remnant cautiously.", Barley says looking at the treeline.
