Morose had been on his way to Lebonwaith when he noticed the unlikely group of travelers. He had also noticed the girl in the tree and had been approaching the encampment to warn them, only to get a better view of the young lass falling to the ground. Morose couldn't help but let out a chuckle and he stood back and watched as one of the three picked up a sinister looking staff and marched toward the girl.

Oswin turned in suprise when he heard the cry and the snaps of branches. Rissterus was faster to react, grabbing his staff and moving towards the tree. Oswin also grabbed his staff but not because he thought he needed a weapon. He hurried down the meadow, passing Rissterus who was moving more slowly. He reached the tree and saw the girl. He knelt down by her, seeing blood. "Are you alright?" he questioned.

((Thanks for waiting for me))
Elyira was actually facing the meadow. When Calypso cried out, she saw her fall. Oswin and Rissterus grabbed their staves and hurried towards it. Elyiravëra stood up also, but stayed in the camp. She suddenly wished she had a weapon, even if it was a knife. She watched as Oswin arrived before Rissterus at the scene. Out of the corner of her eye, Elyira thought she saw something. Her keen elven eyes had seen Morose Zwelt. She wondered what to do. Should she warn the others?

the priest arrived at her side first, kneeling beside her and asking her if she was alright. the words didn't at first register in her mind. what had he asked? why wasn't he hurting her and demanding what she was doing? finally, she realized what he had said, but she was unsure of what to say. she held her hurt arm close to her chest, glancing between the priest, and the slow advancing sorcerer.m

Morose approached the tree and the group of travelers. He didn't say anything but stood and observed. Morose looked around and noticed his companion was missing, where was that brother of his, wandered off probably... He gripped the hilt of his sword and looked at the people. one was obviously a magician of some sort the other looked like a monk and the third, a young woman, didn't seem much more than a normal townsfolk.

Oswin passed Rissterus and knelt by the girl at the tree. From what Rissterus could see, she looked harmless enough. Oswin could probably handle her well enough. What worried Rissterus was the dwarf that appeared and started making his way towards them. Rissterus turned to him and held his staff toward Morose. "Stop where you stand or I will kill you," he warned. Rissterus was perfectly willing to send 40 MP bolt of lightening at him which would kill him instantly.

Oswin heard Rissterus speak and glanced over, seeing Morose. He turned back to Calypso, not knowing whether he should stop Rissterus or not. The girl stared at him from the ground, holding her arm to her chest. "Where are you hurt?" He repeated.

Calypso looked at the sorcerer as he threatened death to the dwarf. she felt herself starting to shake with fear. what if they chose to kill her, like he said he would to the dwarf man? she looked back at the priest, who seemed kinder, and more patient. surely he wouldn't kill her? he was a priest after all. "My arm..." she said, for that was what was hurting the most. however, she didn't hold it out for him to look at, keeping it pressed firmly against her chest, not fully trusting him. with her good hand, she held her dagger tight, still hidden, in case they did intend to kill her.m

Oswin could tell the girl was afraid of him. He held his hand, wanting her to give him her arm. "I'm not going to hurt you," he said reassuringly. He hoped Rissterus wouldn't do anything foolish. They needn't act so defensive everytime they met other travelers on the road.

Morose stared right into the sorcerer's eyes. "Put the stick down human." he barked wishing his brother were here to back him up. He glanced around and saw the girl holding something under her clothes, probably a weapon, Morose knew enough about rogues to know that was a staple. The elf looked scared and the priest, the priest was hard to read, his face didnt show too much emotion so far exept for compassion, perhaps, for the girl.

Elyiravëra came out from the treeline and approached Rissterus and Morose. "Rissterus, you don't have to threaten everyone we pass. He hasn't challenged you; give him a chance." She came up and stood between Morose and Rissterus. She didn't think Rissterus would hurt her; she just hoped he listened to her. She wasn't sure about Morose Zwelt, but she was confident he had enough sense to know she was trying to prevent a fight.

she glanced at the hand that was outstretched, waiting patiently for her arm to be placed in it. she glanced up at the priest, and then slowly brought her arm down, placing it in his waiting hand, wincing slightly as it touched him. her head was hurting, and she couldn't think straight, so she didn't know if what she had just done had been a wise choice, but what was done was done, and she just had to believe that she had made the right choice.m

Oswin gently held her arm, then bowed his head. He murmered a prayer, holding his other hand above Calypso's arm. Holy light fell upon her arm and it was healed. [Oswin uses Heal to heal Calypso's arm. Since it is not a real wound, no MP is needed.] Oswin looked up at Calypso's face. "The gods have healed you because of your faith."

she pulled her hand back and moving it around, testing for any pain. when none came she looked back up at the priest. she was healed because of her faith? since when had she had faith? she hardly even knew anything about the gods, so how in the world could she have faith in them? "Thank you." she murmured softly. her head still hurt, but she was sure that would pass. and if not... well she could always test that healing power stuff to see if it actually worked. "I don't understand about the faith thing, however..." she said softly. she was more speaking aloud, but she still looked up, seeking some sort of answer.m

Oswin smiled at her. "You trusted me," he said simply. He wasn't exactly sure if that counted as having faith, but he figured that since she trusted him, she trusted the gods. He was a servant of the gods, after all. And Calypso could easily see he wore the clothes of a priest. Behind him, Oswin heard Elyira come out and try to stop Morose and Rissterus from ending in a battle. Oswin was confident she would succeed and a fight would be avoided. At least he hoped.
