At the sight of Nemmet falling and Eriums reaching towards GALAX, GALAX suddenly faints.

"By Sarenrae!"
Fennick quickly checks to see if Nemmet is OK and then attends to Galax. He lightly slaps Galax to try to wake him.
"Come back to us Master Galax."

Nigel shakes his head and goes to a tall rock and gets on top and starts a watch, rotating slowly then fast.

"Oh, for Pete's sake..."
Liam takes a position on the opposite side of the party from Nigel and scans the horizon for signs of danger as well.

"Humans... how ape-like," Kib remarks, to nobody in particular. His eyes scan the horizon for marauders as he shoulders his pack bulging with wolf haunch.

He lightly slaps Galax to try to wake him. GALAX opens his eyes. "Well, hello. Why are you slapping me?"

There is nothing moving in the area around...if the group makes some better time, you know you can make the foothills before dark...and a fire in the hills might be a lot easier to camouflage.

Hands Galax his waterskin.
"Please, take a drink. Master Galax, why do you think I am slapping you? Do you know where you are right now?"

"Erimus, you were lagging behind before. Is there something the rest of us can do to lighten your load? We need to make better time if we're to reach the hills before night fall."
Liam checks his straps and buckles in preparation for moving the pace along.

Kib starts walking towards the foothills, knowing his legs are the shortest in the group and the others will catch up.

Hands Galax his waterskin. "Please, take a drink. Master Galax, why do you think I am slapping you? Do you know where you are right now?" GALAX looks at Fennick. "I have no idea. I awoke to you slapping me. Why yes, we're on the caravan to Rivers Edge. Why do you ask." GALAX goes to stand up, looks around and makes an "o" with his mouth and wide eyes. "I'm guessing something happened? What is that smell?"

Erimus immediately goes to Nemmit's aid, and when the boy is feeling ready, assists him to his feet.
"I fear master Galax is afflicted by some malady of the mind -- it may be best that you give him a wide berth until he is mended," he advises.
Erimus does not interfere with Fennick's ministrations, but looks on with concern, hoping that the Holy Man has some fiat, mantra or libation which may cure Galax's ill.
Erimus replies to Liam, "I am not unfairly loaded, master Liam, I did not want to leave good Fennick behind -- he suffers from the cold."
OOC: Ronin, how are you handling encumbrance/movement? Is Erimus slowed by his plate armour?

[OOC] Oops. Sorry, thought it was Erimus who appeared to be encumbered or lagging behind. I guess it was Fennick.

Fennick to Galax: Come brave master Galax, let us follow our friend hardy master Kib. I will recount our tale as we walk.
Fennick to Erimus: Pious master Erimus, I think it best if you and good master Nemmet guard the rear.
Fennick to Nigel: Walk with us learned master Nigel, help me recount our tale. Whispering so only Nigel can hear: Have your academic pursuits perused amnesia, mayhaps?
Fennick leads Galax to follow Kib, while telling him ofthe past days, careful to leave out details about confrontations with Erimus.

Erimus bows low to the Holy Man, "By Our Lady's Grace, I shall see this task done to the best of my ability!" he confirms, hand upon his Holy symbol. He hastens to organise himself and Nemmet to carry out the assigned duty.

Is Erimus slowed by his plate armour? Indeed I had it as Fennick who was causing the delay because of how it is being played up how somewhat frail the good cleric is. He is no slower than the dwarf though... I have not decided about anything further with encumbrance since I didn't see it as an issue yet.

"I know not what ails him," Erimus confides to Nemmet as they march. "We can but pray to Our Lady for Galax's good health, and hope that Brother Fennick and Master Nigel are learned in matters of medicant requite.".
Erimus keeps a diligent eye on the terrain behind and around the company as they trudge on...

Fennick leads Galax to follow Kib, while telling him ofthe past days, careful to leave out details about confrontations with Erimus. GALAX walks with FENNICK and KIB, listening, his shield/sword held listlessly, almost in a forgotten manner as he listens to the story being told. "My gods, what a horrible tale! What are we doing, then? Are we heading towards Rivers Edge or pursuing the captors of Corrine?" His left eye seems twitch at the question, but he seems to not notice it.

The journey the rest of the way is uneventful, and a good site is found in the twilight, to make camp. Some of the hills are dotted with leafless trees and one of the hills actually has a hollow dug out of the side making a very small cave like indentation. It is just big enough that four or maybe five of you could fit in nice and snug...

Before it gets too disturbed, Liam will examine the ground around the hollow to check for tracks.

Erimus sends Nemmet in search of wood with which to construct a spit, and then, once Liam and Kib have investigated (and assuming nothing untoward is unearthed), he begins to establish a camp-fire over which to roast the wolf meat. Everyone must be famished by now!
Erimus digs a small hollow (with his hand axe if he has to), then surrounds it with stones from nearby, and gathers up whatever kindling is about, and drizzles a few drips of lantern oil over some of it. Then, using his tinderbox, he sets about striking a spark from flint and steel to get a fire going...

Nigel will pop around helping where he can, dropping off his meat, slogging up so every interesting bush is checked out, picking up a few good rocks and bringing them back to camp.
"It all seems good, but my by my druthers I would like a draft of mead. Does anyone have any ale or anything?"

This just appears to be something that nature provided, possibly where a tornado cut through here or something else but there does not appear to be anything wrong with the stone nor does there appear to be any sign of something or someone having used this recently... Wood is plentiful due to the trees here, limbs are easy to come by...though they might not burn the best as there was some thaw and then a freeze again.
