Keep Hope Alive

[Brian]

Some time later, Phil and Nathan are woken by Liandral.  When you step outside, the moon is about to set.

[Dracos]

Dracos nods, thanking Liandril and quickly getting stretched out and something to eat with nathan.  While alone with only trusted folk nearby, he tries to pull his magic pendant of unluckiness for others.

Dracos

[Brian]

Well, you struggle, and you concentrate ... but unfortunately, you can't seem to make anything happen.

[Rezantis]

At about the same time, Rez tries to take hold of the gauntlet again - more out of curiousity than anything else.

[Brian]

Your right hand stings -- a LOT.  It also feels oddly insulated from the cold of the air....

At a guess, it worked.

[Rezantis]

Rez hums consideringly - and tries to produce The Warbag from his offhand.

[Brian]

It flops to the tent floor with a 'whump', looking as out of place as a giant nuclear powered robot spider.

[Dracos]

"...I take it you were...more successful then me?  Unless there's something you want, hide that quick."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez promptly offhands it again.

"Boo-YAH. Pity I don't have much in there."

[Dracos]

"Indeed.  Though you never know later."

Dracos meditated a second, focusing on bringing his combat skills to the fore and his telepathy in touch.  "Anyhow, ready to go?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez releases the gauntlet, embracing his other-self's skills again, then cracks his knuckles.

"Ready when you are."

[Dracos]

Dracos heads over to wherever his command forces are waiting and, after ascertaining readiness, waits for the message from Bjorn or Mattias.

Dracos

[Rezantis]

And before Drac takes two steps out of the tent, Rez calls him back inside.  "Hold on a second, I just remembered something useful . . ."

Rez resummons the gauntlet and produces . . . THE WARBAG . . . before extracting the fur cloaks from it and banishing it (and the gauntlet) back to wherever laps go when you stand up.

"These could be Helpful."

[Dracos]

"...Yes...they could.  If they didn't vanish with your gauntlet.  Let's...leave that till later."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Shut up." Rez puts his influence back into gauntlet for a sec, to see if the cloaks reappear - and promptly finds them back inside the warbag.

". . . this is messing with my head. Let's just get to it?"
