Let's play a role-playing game

In fact, you would have known how to deal with that type of injury. Yes, you know some very basic surgical skills. But as it looks battle-related, you probably could not have done that good of a job with it in the field. You’re just not that good.

You know of no other ways of healing.

There are no animals about.

Does my character get any recollection of ‘Paladin’, ‘Dorithor’ or anything else about the Church service?
Does thinking about it make me feel happy or dutiful?

“I’m going to look around a bit guys, maybe I can find more food or something. Even better maybe there’s a way out of here. Since we have no idea where we are, maybe we should see if there’s anything servicable as a weapon.”

::Begins to explore the area, focusing on the direction the wind is coming from.::

Hmm… How would you go about finding out?

Antinor seems to remember – Larani is a goddess. Dolithor is her castle in Heaven. And paladins fight in her service. Her colors are white and red.

When he says this, you remember it too. The others are drawing a blank.

There is a passageway in that direction. To explore it, you may have to duck down and even crawl in some places. Single file only.

“Hey guys, there’s a passage over here. Looks to be pretty tight. What do you all want to do?”

Well I seem to be fairly skinny. Maybe I can fit. I don’t know if I want to be the one doing the main exploring though.

It’s pretty obvious that if you head in the direction of the breeze, you’ll all fit through. If you go in the other direction, probably not so much.

Well then, off in the direction of the breeze it is.

Antinor you first.

I agree that we should head out. There’s no point in staying here.

I call upon the goodness of Larani to help me!

(I just hope we are actually on her side!)

“Alright guys, I searched this area and didn’t find anything else useful so let’s head toward that passageway.”

::gathers up the supplies and distributes them equally among the four adventurers, gathers up material to make a torch from the fire and heads off toward the passageway::

“I’ll go first, in case we encounter any unfriendly beings”

It sounds like I have some battle experience, based on my eye patch, and the fact that it was reparied in the field?

You crawl. You walk a bit stooped over. You stand a bit upright.

After a bit of an awkward walk, with your bare feet cut up, cold, and sore, you feel a bitter cold breeze on your face, hands, and feet. You see light ahead.

NAF, the words “Thank Larani” escape your lips. Light is ahead.

Good teamwork everyone (making fire and guesses; analysing scraps of info; bringing supplies and thinking of marching order).

:cool:

tdn, did I get any response from my appeal to Larani?

[silliness ON] given how and where we woke up, the evidence is that we are a rock band! :wink: [/silliness OFF]

You wanted to get out of here. You asked her for divine help. You – literally – see a light at the end of the tunnel.

What more iron-clad proof do you need that prayer works?

(That was meant to be only half snarky. Praying or asking for divine help is a valid move. Whether or not you get it is often a matter of interpretation. Gods work in mysterious ways, after all.)

Back to the plot:

It’s really difficult walking through the cave in bare feet. And you guys are really underdressed. It is quite chilly.

Before long you feel fresh air on your faces. You are outdoors. Looking up, you see a few faint stars. A dull purple light is to your right. You are surrounded by tall alpine trees. the ground slopes sharply down to your left, and up slightly to your right. Behind you, the cave is set into a hill. The ground is cold and wet. It feels like there is a little snow on the ground. The wind whips at you.

“We need to find out where we are and get something more to wear. Feels like it might get colder. I’m going to check out that light over there.”

moves quietly and cautiously toward the light to check it out, finding cover where possible

Don’t go alone! Take Rugger with you, he seem the most capable in case there is trouble. And hurry back, we are lost if we get seperated.

Glee, what do you say you and I look around the forest here and see if we can’t find something usefull?

The soft purple light seems to be coming from the opposite side of that huge mountain range off to the right. It just might be the Sun.
