OOC>>> In case any of us are losing track of time (which I am, at times [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), here is a quick stock-check on where our characters are at the moment:
Day 1 evening (reference point)
Rehan arrives in Alesbridge.
Day 2
Rehan explores the forest, meeting Gatha along the way. Shortly after, Robyn charges into the forest out of spite. There, both of them meet up with Esaha. A brief fight with the forest ensues, ending when Esaha saves Rehan and the three of them head back to Alesbridge.
Meanwhile, Gerald has taken off to rescue Robyn but ends up seriously injured by Gatha. He is brought back to Alesbridge late at night, and Robyn moves him to a less occupied wing (west) of the manor.
Day 3
Robyn assumes leadership of the city to allay confusion and fear. Meanwhile, Rehan and Esaha take time to rest themselves.
Later that evening, Altair kidnaps Robyn and takes her through the forest. They are attacked by a lioness, and escape through a storm to safety in an overhang by the hill.
On the same evening, Gatha dies. Yasmine, Gerald's wife, reveals her coolness towards him after discovering his condition, and provokes him to commit suicide. Esaha not only rescues Gerald in time but heals him fully with unknown powers; the ordeal completely drains her.
Before Esaha passes out, she alerts Gerald to the attacking forest beasts. Gerald summons his troops and Alesbridge prepares for a battle amidst a storm.
Day 4
Altair and Robyn take an entire day to walk around the forest and back to Alesbridge in a safer route.
Gatha discovers her "suspension" mode and heads elsewhere seeking answers.
Esaha awakens and receives nutrients and a good bath after her 3-day ordeal. She sets her sights on seeking more information on her condition from a local magical arts- user.
At night, Altair and Robyn finally reach the Mehlingard residence where Gerald has finished interrogating Altair for the day.
Meanwhile, Rehan and Sean are resting in the northern wing along with the wounded soldiers and Algori is one of the healers attending to them.
There... I hope I've covered the key events; let me know if I've left anything important out
