Chapter Two: Caerton

Ah Aerth. In merry ol' Angland, King Ithwyrd lies old and feeble on his bed in Lyndon-Upon-Tems. Despite this all is well. The succession is assured and the land prospers. But something is coming that has not been seen since before the fall of the last dragon for it is... the season of the mist.

Edward moves forward quickly to catch Shaha, but sees her up to the horse when its made available. "We need to get out of this cold."

As Elizabeth and Edward help Shaha up she collapses entirely and Edward has to pick her light form up in his arms.

As he does so her cloak falls open and he sees, to his consternation, that she is wearing a diaphanous white something that, while it twists in a single loose ribbon up her arms, around her torso, down her legs and covers (barely) her most private of parts, it doesn't leave anything to the imagination whatsoever. While this shocks the two Anglishmen's sensibilities what is more remarkable to them is that it seems not meant to be provocative but rather something utilitarian - like leggings and a tunic would be.

The scant material is sheer and intricately woven through with gold and jewels that are twisted and knotted in intricate designs of such complexity that the eye is lost trying to sort them out. Designs that seem to not only be beautiful but to serve some purpose. The gold is thin as wire and supple as lace and each jewel seems to serve as a juncture or junction for it.

As she is moved about and Edward hurriedly closes her cloak again both he and Elizabeth notice, just for an instant, that a sort of soft pearlescent aura seems to emanate from the gauzy thing and cover not just her entire body but flow outward from the center of her back in two shapes that they can't quite make out.

Noticing that her lips and skin are turning blue the Guard and the Druid help the unconscious teen into the saddle the rest of the way, settling her there.

Elizabeth will wrap her winter blamet tightly about Shaha. Elizabeth will jump into the saddle as well, to keep our sleepy friend both warm and safe. "We need to get her by a fire. Let's hasten to that tavern with the twin moons" Once we get there, E. will ask for a private room with a hearth.

Alrone runs up to the rest of the party. "Hi guys...umm, what is wrong with the young women we are meant to be escorting?" Alrone speaks with a concerned tone. "I assume you want somewhere to stay out of this chill, follow me" Alrone will lead the part along the route he came, listening to what happened to them.

"Oh, you know. A stroll through the seedier sides of Caerton and a brief discussion with the local thugs. Not much to tell about that. The lady hasn't recovered from that cold she had on the ship, and had another bout of weakness. We bundled her up in blankets, and should get her to a private room where it's warmer and less public." says Elizabeth with just a hint of emphasis on the last phrase.

WILLIAM -

I'll head to whatever Inn is the closest or most desired by my comrades at this point. The lady needs being kept warm, and I want my lunch.

OOC -
Later, if it is practical, I will go and purchase some adventuring supplies. I know you want to role-play that so I will leave it until we at least get to a base.
