The rest of the afternoon drags by. The
Dungeon Busters keep a close watch on
Fern and
Ene, frequently checking on the women they have tied up in the barn and left in a stall that is not occupied by the
bandit corpses that
Antonius bound and gagged earlier. Cobbling together their rations,
Olyena uses the kitchen to prepare food for themselves and their captives.
OOC:
Each PC should
decrement one ration from their inventory, and five more rations need to come from somewhere. Who is providing those?
has suggested dividing the night into four sequential watches. While the farm is in a clearing, the thick canopy of the
Dim Forest around it falls into deep gloom before the sun has fully set, and the woods are in darkness for twelve hours each night. Four shifts of two hours each would cover most of a normal night, but here in the
Dim, it would take four three-hour shifts, or six two-hour shifts.
Dell has volunteered for a middle shift,
Amnestria for middle and last shifts, and
Antonius has volunteered for the last shift.
Sora has volunteered for any shift.
OOC:
Though they have been resting for hours by the time night falls,
the party has not completed a long rest yet, because characters can only have one long rest per day (and their last long rest was completed when they got up this morning, Day 28). When they finish the night tomorrow morning (Day 29), each PC will have completed a long rest. In the meantime, anyone who still has a hit die can
use a short rest and an application of a healer's kit to spend that hit die and regain HP.
In fact, everyone who wants to heal SHOULD spend their hit dice, since
a long rest doesn't heal you, only restores hit dice. Who has brought healer's kits?
