OEH: Rescue-mission for those left behind.

May 13, 2018 at 2:56pm Silvermoon said:  She thought about that. "Would it be an idea to strengthen the hull with metal? If, for some reason, we hit something, the damage wouldn't be too severe?" She had no experience in making boats or even in sailing them, but somehow it made sense to her...

Tharkûn hesitated in his reply as he leaned into the shaped boat, scrutinizing it closely. He ran his hands along the planes of the wood, feeling for any imperfection possible. After several silent moments, he straightened up and gazed at the boat in its entirety. **No,** he finally answered. **The two of you have done well, there is no need for fortification of any kind. Most impressive. Only at shore will we have to use caution for coral and rocks, but this hull should manage most hard and sharp edges well.**

Cove smiled like he hadn't done in many turns. He didn't even thought it was an insult to get called a pink Troll. He started to think that he would enjoy spending time with Whitemoth and learn everything he could from him.

Cove got all exited too! "Yes! I think we should get on our way soon and catch the NoHumps. I think we have some tattered leathers laying around and I found some rope we can use." He looked at Whitemoth. "Are you that strong? It is a big climb, the cart will fit the path, but on top of the cliff is a clearing where our people kept the NoHumps." He pointed to the top, the stone wall could fit four large trees on top of each other.

Tidas smiled and nodded at his longtime friend. **People need to travel the way they feel the most comfortable. If or when we loose contact at least they know where to go to and where we will meet again!** He wasn't sure about splitting up the tribe, but this was the right way.
"Be careful Silvermoon, we still don't know if any of the Raiders are still here."

He looked around to see Moonstone and Skorva resting, soon they had to wake up and ready to go. For now he let them rest.


Nodding in agreement Tidas looked at Summerbreeze. *Wise words, although I think we won't encounter much danger on the water it can be treacherous at times. Only those comfortable travelling at sea should go with me. A healer in each group would be a smart thing to do as well. On the island we have more waiting for us, some can fight, some can fish.* He opensended to the group.
He left it at that, they all had to decide for themselves.

He saw the two boys talking and Kashee showed Cove a head-collar, no doubt they would try to use a NoHump to pull the carriage, a smart decision and it made him realize that the past few days had made them older. He walked to them. "Something tells me that you have solved the problem of pulling the cart? Just remember that NoHumps held by the Towerelves know our smell, they have learned to trust us, but wild ones will not surrender easily!"


"Thank you for your time!" If only Trolls could learn how to send, it would make things much easier! "Do you know of the mountaintrange we call World' Spine? It is where the land is narrow enough to see both seas. That is where we need to go."

Whitemoth looked at the tall elf. "Yes, I know of it. We call it that too. My kind has lived there, but it was infested with those Fivefingered ones and we prefer a much cooler climate." He had an idea why the tall one wanted to go there. "It is said that a huge shimmerstone fell from the sky, broke into countless pieces and vanished again." If it was true, he wouldn't mind staying there for a while.

"Yes, my people have lived there for a few turns as well, but we were forced to continue our journay to end up here." Tidas was glad the Troll knew the mountains.
"The boys seem to have befriend you, I want your promiss that you will keep them safe, even if it means your death!"
He was unusually strict, but he knew the Troll would accept

"Aye, I will keep them safe, you don't need to tell me this!" He rolled his eyes, but he understood. "Those lads are smarter then you know!"

"Thank you! Then I wish you a safe journey and I pray the High Ones, that we will all reach our new home!" And with these words Tidas stepped to the centre of the clearing.

"Tribesmen! It is time! Pack you things and bring them to the boat or the carrige and prepare to leave this place!
He looked around one more time, saying goodbye for the last time. His gazed went up to the Towers, the waterfall and to the trees surrounding them, this had been his home for so many years, he had been happy here, been grieved here and now he left to find peace again... if that was even possible for him...

He picked up some bags and walked towards the boat. *Silvermoon? It's time.**

Kashee was so excited that he didn't see others looking towards them. He could only think about the journey ahead and catching his first NoHump!
Together with Cove he started to plan things, they would surround one and then sling some ropes around it's neck... easy!

He hadn't noticed that Whitemoth had walked away untill he wanted to ask something. Not wanting to intrude he asked Cove. "Shall we try and put some of the baskets on the carriage? I want my father's spear to be close, just in case we need it."
Together they planned where everything should go. Food at the back, furs and ... in the middle, next to the tools to work with and weapons where they could get them quickly.
"Wait! I know it! Do we have some quivers left behind? We could tie them to the side and place our weapons in them... once we are on our way I am sure we can think of a better way to store them, but for now it would safe much needed storage."
Quickly the two boys started working, it wasn't perfect, but when they looked at it shoulder to shoulder they were very proud of themselves!

Time... he looked at Cove and turned around to the others. Suddenly it wasn't a game anymore, he would leave the only home he had ever known.
He wanted to say goodbye to Lord Tidas and Silvermoon, who knows how long it would be before they would see each other again...

Rivereagle watched everyone from the distance with his brothers from the shadows of the forest. He really couldn’t understand anything that was being said; elfin words were still new to him, but it sure looked important…or at least fun. His tongue hung out slightly, and if he had a tail, he’d likely be wagging it. He turned his gaze to Sablequill, hoping maybe they would join in.
