As the two new-comers stand on the outskirts of the group's camp. The others sleep. Pehaps it is because of his training or just the strange presence of others, but Kurts eyes flash open.
The half orc sees the two standing by a tree, whispering.

Kurt rises from where he was seated on a log drinking fresh spring water from his waterskin. Kurt watches the newcomers and glad to still be breathing and not producing a death rattle while he slept. The new arrivals were not hostile but are armed so he rises carefully. He looks at the newcomers slowly then bows with one hand covering a clenched fist.
"I am Kurt, brave explorer and these are my companions.
Come join us for breakfast and we may talk."
Despite the arrival of the strangers, Kurt keeps his attention mostly on the canyon and the sound of chopping or mining. He wonders if the inhabitants of the cave are nocturnal.

The discussion between the two newcomers breaks Alyana meditation (Elf do not sleep remember). She jumps from her bed roll, trying to evaluate the situation.
A dwarf, race she is not too fond of because that d@mn Astar who ruined her for life and a female half-breed. They could have jumped us but they did not. They are probably not evil.
She slwoly moves towards Theo and kick him hard to wake up him. "Get up idiot. We have company"
She caughs to wake up Kurt and Kerzeme and addresses the newcomers "Welcome half-sister. I am Alyana of the Misty Woods. Are you from these parts or are you wandering like us?"
Her tone is friendly but somehow still not 100% trusting.

Theodorre, laying snuggled up in his bedroll, jolts from the kick. He mumbles something about, 'coming back later', he then pulls his blanket up closer, leaving one to believe this situation isn't strange to Theo. Finally, after a few moments, probably being awaken by the talking, Theo slowly rises, he wipes the sleep from his eyes, then stretches and yawns.
"Good morning, Alyanna. Did you have a good rest, boy I did. I feel great." he says as he stretches again. "Ah, good morning. My name is Theodorre." The waking Theo says to the strangers

"Forgive us for not being awake when you came calling," begins the half-orc. He gives Theo a stern look but doesn't make a move towards his weapons although his casual movements help to place him between the newcomers and Alyanna.
"Alyanna, stoke the fire and we can all share its warmth." Kurt beckons for the two strangers to join them at one edge of the camp.

"Good morning." Kerzeme is the last one to greet the newcomers. "I am Maitre Magicorum Kerzeme, from Smidolm."
He waves his fingers in the air, warming them up for any movements that they might need to make in the process of spells, if they have to defend themselves.
"It's certainly a pleasure to meet you."

Alyana at Kurt's request and put some kindling and some wood to restart the fire. She uses her flint and steel to get a spark to light the fire.
After that, she goes see Theodorre. "Theo, if you ever fall asleep again and endanger the whole group, I will make your ears look like mine."
She looks at him ferociously but then turn away as she is about to start laughing.
She looks at the half-elf woman and the dwarf again before opening her backpack and grabbing some nuts, dried fruits and cheese with a piece of bread.

Once all the members of his group are up and moving around, Theodorre starts shaking out his bedroll as a few leaves fall off. He starts rolling his bedroll and folding his large comfortable blanket when Alyanna approaches. Theo unconciously fixes his hair a bit, pulling a couple leaves out, and smiles to the elven woman. But, when the unexpected berating starts, Theo looks quizical, until he realizes what had happened. "I'm sorry, Alyanna. It won't happen again." he says hopeful she isn't upset at him. Theo then peeks over her shoulder, hoping the brute, Kurt, isn't upset at him either. He goes back to packing his gear into his backpack, and after eating a bite for breakfast, is ready for the day, mimicking bird songs and watching out for rare wildlife.
Oh, what a wonderful day it's gona be, he thinks to himself, as he looks over to the possible additions to the group. Hmm, another half elf, Theo thinks, wondering how Alyanna would react to him being a half breed.

Theodorre cluelessness is a bowl of fresh air among the cynical world Alyana has been living. She is somehow jealous of the arcanist who seems to go through life without a worry.
"I used to be like that until that fateful fight and that d@mn Astar ...."
Anger suddenly flushes her face and she asks abruptly to the newcomers "Half-Sister, do you vouch for your dwarf companion? And you dwarf, do you think it is okay to sacrify one team member to run away rather trying EVERYTHING possible to save her?"
She kicks the ground as she does that, visibly angry.

Taliea greets each person in turn, but is clearly most pleased to see Alyana, "I'm from near here," she says as a response to elf's question, "but these days I make my home whereever I can make my bed. I am a wanderer, looking for adventure", she says feigning a wicked grin. "And yes, I will vouch for my friend here," she adds indicating the dwarf.
She responds to Theo's greeting with a beaming grin, a fellow half-breed and tries not to judge Kurt by the tusks on his face; she's willing to give an individual a chance to prove himself. He certainly seems friendly enough.
"A pleasure to meet you too," she responds to the magician, not entirely sure how to address him. "All of you." Her gaze now taking in everyone. "Allow me to assist with gathering wood for the fire."

The group of four breaks camp quickly, either they're a group with a purpose, or maybe they're a little embarrassed at being caught unawares, asleep. They each take care of their belongings, and Theodore is looking in a mirror fixing ihs hair, with a sigh and a shrug he seems to give up. Everyone watches the two newcomers while they work and greet. Once all is finished and the fire is put out, the greetings and hellos start moving towards the clearing found the night before. Theo moves over towards the fire and watches as the ranger makes sure all the glowing embers have been snuffed out and won't spark back to life, starting a forest fire. As she finishes her job and turns to leave, there is Theo, just watching and smiling, "Well done, Taliea, did you say it was? I would hate to burn these glorious trees down, then where would all our little friends live?" he says with a heartfelt shrug.The wizard points to a couple of squirrels, and then cocks his head and looks up as he hears a song bird, he just smiles and nods to the ranger. He reaches into his pouch and pulls a furry ball out. As he cradles Koda, his weasel, in his arm, scratching it's head, Theo turns to follow the others towards the clearing. The group takes the two strangers to the clearing, maybe showing them to see if they might have an opinion on what happened, or maybe seeing if thay are part of what happened. As they start getting closer, Theodorre quickly points to two rabbits scampering by, and as he does so trips, but luckily catches his footing. Theo grunts and points down to a small root jutting out of the earth, then looks up to the new-comers, shrugs and shakes his head, as if to say it wasn't his fault.
All six of you stand on the edge of the clearing. You came from the north. The canyon runs north and south. The canyon is east of you. The clearing extends 30' west, from the canyon to the treeline. The clearing extends 40' south from where you stand, to the treeline opposite you. From where you stand, you see stumps, forest cleared by axes, and plenty of broken twigs and branches, with leaves, all surely from the felling of the trees. There seems to be wood interspersed through much of the clearing, but your not sure since your just on the edge, wood that has been worked somehow, some in small broken planks, like for walls, some small pieces the could have been the spokes of a wheel. OOC: OK, This is great everyone is just about finished with their character sheets, and they all look great, good job! If you need to finish, try and do so, we'll need skill checks soon, some now,  I need a general marching order, one for tight situations, where we're walking single file. And another for two abreast. Please don't make Theo scout ahead,  Let's make some rolls, lotta ground to cover, assuming you want to search it. If so, I need to know the area and I need search checks, 3 will do, each person. And any other check you deem necesary |

"Let's start looking around if we can find anything useful." Kerzeme orders. "I propose you two," he motions towards the most recent additions to the group, and then to the, southern, far end of the clearing, "look over there, and then you two," this time, he motions towards Alyana and Kurt and then to the closer, right part of the clearing, which is to the west."can look there, and the two of us," the last pair consists of the Maitre himself and Theodorre, "look over there." To himself, he assigns the last third of the clearing, the one closer to them and to their left, in other words to the east.

The dwarf introduces himself, saying "My name's Barendd. Don't ask, I think my parents just grabbed a handful of rune stones for my name."In response to Alyana's question, he turns his head, looking at her sideways. "If you run away from someone's counting on you, why won't they do the same thing when you're the one needs help?"
Search checks: 1d20=8, 1d20=17, 1d20=14For marching order, I'd like to be second, if nobody has any objections. Behind whoever does scouting. For two abreast, I'd like to be in the front rank. |

Alyana nods at the dwarf "I wish you would have been in charge of my group when they left me to die."
Barendd answers help continues the healing which has started when we reconnected with Kurt. "Pretty soon I might even be mentally ready to try to mate again, although I am not sure my body is."
She smiles at Taliea when she sees the ranger do her stuff "Half sister, you surely love the forest don't you. I do miss sometimes the peacefulness of the Misty Woods."
After hearing KErzeme idead, she goes inspect the clearing with Kurt, looking for anything out of the ordinary.
Search: 1d20 + 2 = 17, 18, 5
Spot: 1d20 + 6 = 16, 26 (natural 20), 17
Alyana will close the file as the healer/fighter during dungeon or danger walk. During leisure walk, she will be next to Kurt.
