The Barbarian

They listen out and Lady Amyra, Gus and Quinn hear a low moan emanating from the grass. They go through the grass and find a bloodied man tied to 4 stakes in the ground, badly battered and blistered. Quinn casts MODERATE HEALING on him. Dworin cuts the rope that is binding his left hand. Lady Amyra casts DETECT EVIL on him and detects a hint of evil. Quinn speaks to the barbarian whose fresh wounds and blisters have now been healed but he gets no reaction from him. Dworin commands him to answer. Tyro searches the barbarian and finds a tiny dagger and a gem pouch. They try to wake him up but to no avail. Tyro pricks him with the tiny dagger and his body jerks in response. When Dworin asks the barbarian who had done this to him, the barbarian grunts in response. Having detected evil Lady Amyra takes a swipe at him and the barbarian raises his arm; because of this she ends up cutting through his arm and nicking his chest with the tip of her sword. The barbarian lets off a blood curdling scream and his body starts to shake. Gus fires a blot into his chest at point blank range. Bialer strikes down with his long sword. Tyro jumps onto the barbarian and strikes down with his quarterstaff. Quinn attacks with his morning star but the barbarian still continues to yell and lash about. Dworin then strikes at him with his scimitar and the barbarian dies. Gus performs a coup de grace by smashing a morning star on his head. They head back to the path and walk until they reach the river.

They decide to walk along the river in a westerly direction. As sunset approaches they decide to set up camp. Lady Amyra, Bialer and Quinn forage for food and find 5 portions. They each have a portion including the one left over from lunchtime. They rest for the night and morning comes without any disturbances. They forage in the morning for the day’s resources and find 10 portions. They each have a portion and are left with 4.
