Camp Bon Fire Rumors and Stories
-
A gift of a special herbal tea to help soothe Lycka's nausea and other related problems is left often by Cherry at their tent. It being the same mixture Cherry herself almost went nowhere without a canteen full of it to drink for the last year or so.
On a seemingly unrelated note, Cherry recently has also found a few free hours here and there to begin training again. Hours only free thanks to volunteer childcare from her grandmother, so the new mother may work on getting herself and her equipment back into adventuring shape….for a great many reasons.
-
Rumor has it raised voices were heard out side the pixie glenn followed by a woman running out of the camp leaving blood in her tracks.
-
Keen-eyed residents of the gypsy camp might have noticed that Lycka very rarely travels anywhere alone these days. Aelthas, Ragnhild and even some of her fellow warriors seem to keep a watchful eye on the young bard. Some attribute this to the rumours of a vampire threat, while other, more astute observers may take note of Lycka's new habit of being pale-faced and nauseus every morning and draw their own conclusions.

After a hastily dismissed Elder's meeting, one of the arms merchants is seen arguing with Jonathan in low tones though his hand gestures are bold and agressive. Anyone who walked within earshot would have heard
….. ye said the vote was a scare tactic! That it wouldn't pass!
Wut the bloody hells are ye pulling here?

The lovely blond woman in sisterhood clothing ran into the camp looking half dead. Her companion, a man with a scared face, but a long time resident of the camp. They entered calling warning to the guard of drider and worse in the pass. They called out that the woman sentry near the pass was missing. Shortly after their arrival the duo standing or sitting near the fires with their weapons still at hand while they caught their breath a commotion rang out. An intruder was being attacked by the guards. The duo and the two to most recently run out of the woods a drow hunter and her companion elf a mage ran to help in the attack. At the end of the brief but bloody battle the corpse of the drow lay at Jonni's feet. The body was disposed of by the camps guard. the golden haired elf went to the tree to visit with Cera and the others dispersed.
-
Cera's granddaughter, Cherry, kinda waddles around these days. Too far along to really hide her condition, the growing bump of her belly is plain to see, no matter how bulky and flowing a robe she tries to wear. The lavender haired woman splits her time between her two homes of the Romani Camp and Norwick, out of the adventuring life for while. A canteen full of some herbal brew of her grandmother's is never far from her side.

_Ragnhild makes several visits to the roost, always careful not to weary the recovering skald. With each visit, she brings him something meant to make him smile, whether it's a fine gift like the last of the honeyed mead from her daughter's wedding, soft furs to ease his rest or a simple bouquet of wildflowers, spreading a summery fragrance around the roost. She asks few, if any questions, instead choosing to share little tales from her glacial homelands. Through far from an accomplished storyteller, there is a simple sincerity and warmth in Ragnhild's tales that perhaps manage to take Jerr's mind off other things for just that fleeting moment.
Lycka also visits, often playing a little something on her lyre before leaving, teary-eyed._
-
Telli was seen entering the roost with a potted plant, upon leaving the pot was not within hand and her chocolate bag a little lighter…
-
Aramuil visits Jerr, he speaks in a quiet voice to him before departing, a frown upon his face and electricity crackling upon his hands.
-
More scar tissue than flesh Jerr greets his visitors with a voice that is rough and hesitant. Mare and or Amith are not often far from his side and limit the length of visits, keeping a watchful eye on the skalds energy and emotions.
In the bad times he will look to some far off place and weep.
In the good times he will still have some of his old humor and his eyes will light up with the old twinkle. When Ginger delivers the armor and jewelry he will thank her many times over. He does not, however, put the armor on and winces at even the thought of it.
If Mare or Amith are asked why he is not fully healed they will just say that there have been . . .complications and not go into detail with people outside of the family.
-
Will stops by to visit Jerr often on his way to or from home, bring him blankets or anything else he needs to be comfortable, as well as fresh food and water.
-
Master bowyer Ginger Tealeaf is seen quietly going to the pixie roost. She brings Jerr a bag full of items: a clean and new-looking leather armour in red, gold and black, some rings, and a badge.
-
Those who ask find that Jerr is up in the pixie roost in a cold camp. Any fire up on the roost is kept as far as possible from the skald. He will not yet sleep in a tent and is nervous if more than one or two people are near.
-
Telli's been wandering asking to see Jerr. When asked why she simply replies.
"I heardededs he gots rescued and his skins is all burnts ups… I'd gonna try ta helpededs hims grows somes news skins backs....grins dopely clutching a piece of bark oddly...

::Alfgeir can be seen helping around the camp his massive strength aiding in many tasks around the camp. He seems to be working on some form of wooden structure…a home maybe?::
-
Lycka is only too happy to spend her time on duty in the vicinity of Alfgeir, her curiosity about the traditions, history and lore of his people seemingly endless. When not talking the giant's ear off, she sings and plays for him while standing guard.
-
Jonathan, after a heated discussion with certain Elders, calls for extra Warriors in the Camp area, most especially close to the new guest of the Camp, Alfgeir
-
_Tall, blonde and with a special grudge against frost giants, the warrioress Ragnhild's first meeting with Alfgeir was predictably less than cordial, despite the fact that her daughter Lycka was blithely walking next to the giant, chatting amiably.
After repeated reassurances of Alfgeir's upstanding character and quite a lot of nagging from her daughter's side, Ragnhild grudgingly layed the initial hostilities aside and offered the giant a traditional welcome by rolling out a barrel of fine dwarven ale from her tent. Though nursing a gargantuan headache the next morning, the barbarian woman now seems to have thawed considerably towards the camp's new guest._
-
After more recent bouts of her curse keeping Cherry down for the count or missing entirely, she enjoys a whole three days before almost any mention, sight or scent of food sends the lavender-haired girl running to empty the contents of her stomach away from the eyes of others. She is pretty certain this has nothing to do with her family curse.
