Looking out over the sea (TS March 14th, 3:11 pm)

[Brondulf Elricson]

(In light of recent events... https://www.facebook.com/events/39276183..._tab=about)

Brondulf stands near the shores looking out over the sea, the wind biting through his cloak and gnawing at his fur vest. The Einher mutters to himself, visibly on edge. A crudely made boat of driftwood and twigs sits near him, nearly as wide and long as and arms length.

*Walking by, Drakkon eyes the boat*

You don't wanna try that deathtrap out on the waters even during the best of days. Winter waters will kill ya fer sure in the flotsam. That and the Murkers. Be smart and stay ashore.

[Brondulf Elricson]

*Brondulf turns to Drakkon*

"No need to worry about that, boat isn't for me."

*He motions to the small raft at his side*

"Won't get far out as it is anyways."

[Vigfuss Elricson]

*vigfuss, walking towards brondulf, carries a small chicken in his arms... the chicken squirms in his arms restlessly*

“If you keep this up you feathery fuck I’ll burn you”

*the chicken pecks at his arm as he offers it to brondulf*

“Alright got the chicken, hope this does something to calm the ocean”

[Brondulf Elricson]

*Seeing his brother's approach, Brondulf turn and carefully takes the bird and strokes its neck to calm its restlessness*

"Thank you brother, we'll have to properly thank Bjorn later. It might not be an ideal offering, but it will have to do for now."

The einher turns back to the raft, slowly stroking the chicken's feathers.

*vigfuss begins to claw at the peck marks and leans on his staff*

“Pray Eindridil is happy with something at the very least”

*vigfuss removes his boots and walks towards the shore letting the icy water lap at his toes. He reaches into his pocket to grab a smooth river stone*

I invoke ice to grant affinity, ice, stone, fire, lightning.

“EINDRIDIL HEAR ME, I AM ONE WITH ALL FOUR ELEMENTS AND ONE WITH ICE, WITH IT WATER AND WITH THAT THE OCEAN. I FEEL YOUR ICY WATERS AND EMBRACE THEM. LEND ME GUIDANCE TO WHY YOUR WATER IS UNEASY”

*vigfuss falls to his knees letting the water flow around them and hands*

“Please Eindridil...... please”

The water lapping at Vigfuss's feet is freezing cold. On the breeze the chittering of some Murkers can be heard. The splash of waves, howl of wind... nothing else.

[Brondulf Elricson]

*Silently watching his brother, Brondulf clutches the chicken and walks to the crude raft he has constructed. Calming the chicken one last time, he quickly snaps its neck, gently placing it in the center of the raft, before cutting a lock of his hair to add. Finally, Brondulf places his blade on his palm, drawing blood which drips over the still body of the chicken.

Moving behind the raft, he einher pushes it out into the water, guiding it until he stands knee deep in the icy water and the raft no longer touches the sand below the surface.*

"Oh great goddess of watchful storms and tranquil hostiplatity, I offer you this gift in hopes that you may accept it. Please temper your wrath and grant us safe hospitality in the coming days."

*With +1 strength Brondulf pushes the raft our further into the water.*

After a couple of minutes go by and the raft begins to sink further out into the deeps, Brondulf turns and wades back into the shore.

(If nothing else happens, he shakes his boots out and walks towards the tavern.)
