Camp Bon Fire Rumors and Stories
-
The elven archer known as Aurelia has been spreading the word to all those of pure elven heritage that she feels the location of the former elven encampment in the northern rawlinswood is as safe as it has been in centuries, she hopes her elven kin continue to spread the word in hopes that Elves from afar will return to the outpost.

((Erm, I don't you meant demise…demise would mean Cherry is dead.))
-
Upon hearing of Cherry's situation, Rhistin blames
"that bold druid with his strawberry-like nose" to
have put conflicting herbs into the stews cooking
on many-a-fire.
-
Aramuil, due to Cherry's seizures, has been seen more frequently about the Camp; checking up on Cherry far more often than before. He always comes with Clarity prepared, and he purposefully ignores any gypsy or romani anger.
-
Cera explains Cherry tried something on her own she shouldn't have in a moment of desperation to treat a condition that drives the visions she has been known to run shrieking from and paid the price. Ever since Cherry has had had a couple seizures that even Cera seems helpess to do anything about until they subside.
Cera thanks Aelthas deeply for bringing her granddaughter back and when the seizure passes, she reads a scroll of Clarity over Cherry which brings the girl around. Cera also gives Cherry a little something to help her sleep afterward.

Charlie mutters something about Toadstool soup and loiters nearby.

_As Aelthas sees Cherry collapse, he runs up and and scoops her up in his arms, running her off to Jeni's tree. He remains there the whole time, watching over her with a cold emotionless face as she recovers.
Occasionally he is seen talking to Cera or Jeni, or is seen tending to Cherry in any way possible, or simply watching her with a expressionless gaze, not sure what is going on with her._
-
One morning during her training excercises with the other warriors of the Camp Cherry showoing signs of catching up at last in her physical conditioning. She can once more easily keep up with the men without winding herself. Only this one morning in the middle of training while waiting her turn for archery practice, Cherry collasped. Her body convulsed violently in seizure for several minutes. Cherry's fellow warriors could only stand by and watch, perhaps making sure she did not injure herself and call for her grandmother.
This would prove to not be an isolated incedent for Cherry.
-
William Morrison, Rhistin, and another man were seen headed south into the spider pass, following a white stag. When they are seen later, there are tales of bugbears moving north.
-
Aurelia has been asking around the camp if anyone knows of anyone that will be willing to assist her training. When asked of what training she says that she is mastering the Bow and her gift of the Arcane to manipulate her arrows, she seeks a mentor gifted both in natural arcana as well as marksmanship, as she hopes to combine both skills.
-
Cera tips these bards with extra spider eyes she has laying around her tree when they visit Camp to sing of these deeds.
-
Along the main towns in the nars, all bards sing in the main inns, the tale of three adventurers that go about by the mighty warrior KULL, and the druids Sald and Belia for defending norwick from a possible undead attack. The bards sing about the bravery shown by both Sald and Belia for fighting dozens of undead minions and last but not least their chieftain, they sing about the epic will to resist all the temptions and offers of unlimited power offered by the very master of the undead

Snippets heard over the wash tubs of the Romani women and over mugs of ale at the heartfires late at night
…. no! she never came out of Jonni's tent! Not a soul saw her leave!......
.... Trask, didn't Jonni just eat two hours ago? Why's he taking two more bowls o' stew into his tent?.....
.... aye, he wouldn't let Jeni in to collect up his laundry the other day! He's gonna be smelling ripe enough soon! ......
-
_For the past few days, Aelthas and his men have been seen wandering around camp, writing down who is in camp and who isn't from the known people.
After a few days, the men report back to Aelthas, a frown coming across his face as he wanders off to find the elders._
-
Rumors tell of a permanent fixture by the pixie glenn at most hours of the day as well as a rather large bag of apples appearing on jeni's desk that seems to fill up the whole desk.
-
The number of Legion patrols have been increased along the nars, specially after few Jyiid Merchants have been murdured by allegedly impostors with Romany clothes.
These patrols are lead by Major kull and a small contingent of Legion recruits and privates, the patrols serve the purpose of security and safe passage along the nars and training for the new recruits_________________________________________________________-

_An obviously irritated legion dwarf was seen walking into the camp and going off to speak to Jeni, yelling something about gypsy bandits in the pass killing Jiyyd citizens.
After a short talk in Jeni's tree, the dwarf was seen storming out of the camp and heading towards Jiyyd._

_Cherry blushes occasionaly with her personal guards. Given her temperment, she often glad for the extra sense of safety Charlie and the chaperoning guards give her. Like anyone her age though, she occasionaly tries to igive her chaperones the slip to be alone with Aramuil. She often goes off in a huff too when the guards track her down anyway to go sulk by the fires.
OTherwise she still continues to train on her own in addittion to what is required of her as a Prismatic Dragon and maybe it's finally paying off as she can keep up with the rest without winding herself to early. She even finds her regular training with the warriors to be routine.
Cherry seems to have gotten a few of her fellow Prismatic Dragons to take her shield sledding and often can be seen racing some of them on the snowy slopes in the Nars not far fromteh Camp but always with a few warriors keeping watch. She might go sledding eve more often with the one other person she spends most ofh er time with besides her Grandma or Aramuil, Charlie._

_Often an elf leaning heavily on a staff, and wrapped in a tattered cloak with the hood drawn low is seen watching Tala. Though he does not bother to speak to many people, every now and then he walks over during her sparring and is seen to check on her shoulder. Often enough he is seen giving a light prayer that seems to ease some of her pain, but seems unable or unwilling to fully heal the wound and weakness.
Oddly enough, it almost seems he prefers it that way. When one of the Romani ask him why he does not just heal it away entirely, his soft spoken response is simply…_
"But then… what would be learned?"
