Brisa had clung, with all her strength but in the end she was shaken free. She tumbled to the ground, her small body hitting with a dull wet thump in the muddy grass, the cloak she had borrowed followed, covering her body and obscuring her vision.

She instinctively curled in a tight ball, arms over her head, to protect herself from being trampled. It only half worked. Unable to see she could only guess what was happening but she took a few good kicks and stomps. Still when the strange horn call came and the kicks faded along with the other sounds of the fight, Brisa could figure out what happened.

Uncurling herself tenderly, she was quite bruised really, she pulled the cloak off her and looked around. The first thing she saw was the boar man standing some distance away, sword drawn. It was clear he had lent a hand, and from what she remembered, her mind was still a little fuzzy, he probably saved them. She looked for the fallen boar girl, but didn't see her. Instead her eyes fell on Argurios and Aiden bending over him.

“Mystra's Mantle” she swore under her breath. She scrambled, half crawling half running, over to her friend. She was relieved that Aiden was already helping; that was good.

“Come on” she said to Aiden. She wasn't extremely strong but she could help and between the two of them, if they were careful, maybe they could get him back under shelter. She was already trying to think of how to get their fire started again; the constant rain wouldn't help matters but they would need it to clean Argurios' wounds. She sighed internally. What she wouldn't give for Autry's wisdom and creativity now; she never realized how much a magic user would have to rely on new angles to solve old problems. If she had known she would have taken Autry's cantrip lessons more seriously.

the most versatile spells in a mages repertoire ! Autry had said this over and over, Brisa had never really understood that. She had used the color spell to help hide Aiden in the gray to give him an edge. The cantrip had originally been created by a very flamboyant mage to color his clothing. Such a simple thing, such a strange use. All she had left now was fire finger which wouldn't light wet wood.

She lifted her head and saw the boar man watching them. She was surprised he had stayed; if she had been in his shoes she doubted she would have helped someone who had killed her friend. She didn't say anything, just watched him and gave him a nod of thankfullness while at the same time trying to help Aiden with Argurios. She wanted to go over and thank him personally, but right now she had to take care of her friend. She pushed all the stray random thoughts into the back of her head, Autry had always said she was flighty and she was, but she could focus when she had to.
thanks Jollan

Hello,

I am sorry to disappear again as soon as I returned before. My real life has been draining, emotionally and physically as my grandmother passed, my business was under destruction by a fraudulent con man who was in theory supposed to buy it and instead defrauded a bunch of my clients and I am still digging out from under it (with the aid of lawyers, the IRS, the police, and the FBI) but what he left behind was to the effect that my business is basically worthless now though I still have to work my tail off for it, and the stress of it all made me drop dead begging for someone to kill me sick. I was hoping to be back earlier this week but I am still physically drained and sleep claims me earlier than usual these days. It is my sincerest hope that I shall have a post up this weekend. I thank all of you for bearing with me and I apologize for my lack of communication.

be hard not to move faster than this one.

Hey all!

So its been hell in my life this past month and a half. I am sorry to stay away so long; I just haven't been emotionally and physically up to playing. Seems like much is getting better. I don't know if I have to catch up or not on posts but I'll be posting this weekend.
thanks! I'm actually relieved for her sake. It's just...lots of work.
Evening all. I know you all thought I vanished. Came close. Things are getting better now. For those that don't know I was right; she was in her last days. Passed in her sleep last week; been dealing with bearcat* for the past week now.

* the autocorrect was "bearcat" which I thought was far more interesting than bureaucracy which is what I had originally intended. I would much rather be dealing with bearcats I believe.
@macabrefox nothing at the moment beyond what I PM'd you long ago...you still have that running around somewhere?

All of you thanks so much. It's rough for me so I appreciate the understanding thoughts.

I'll begin work on a post tonight.
Hello all,

I am so sorry for the vanishing. Ever since I returned from vacation my grandmother (98 & lives with me) had taken a pretty bad turn for the worse. Recently I've had to be up most of the night with her. There isn't much time left now though; she's sleeping all the time and I only have to keep up her pain meds. She doesn't wake so I can start sleeping again too. I'm even going back to work starting Friday to get back into a normal routine again.

I hope people are still here. Everything suffered during this time and I'm just now trying to get back on track and recover a bit. I will do what I can to update everything this week. Again I really apologize for letting this slip so badly. I may be slow but I don't normally vanish like this, life just really hit hard.

I fell bad, I fell asleep in the middle of writing a PM to @bloonewb. I will finish that.

@MacabreFoxWes looks great. He's also looks hot. I approve. I'll be PMing you about a couple details but he's good to run with.
