Re: On the downs

Calimir, near to the front of the group, could already feel a sense of disturbance among the company. She and the other elves were all armed with weapons but she knew it would take more than swords and bows to defeat a wight. In fact, she had brought several smaller objects that might be of more use than any dagger, no matter how smartly wielded.

In her pack she carried a small bag of white stones similar to the one set in silver about her neck. These stones were the Calimiri from which her name had been taken, Jewels of Light. They were her special creation, the result of many years of work. The white stones, which appeared to be quite normal upon inspection would lend to the owner or carrier a white glow when confronted with creatures and things twisted by the Shadow. They had many drawbacks as they made it very difficult to hide and their power could be quite short-lived, but she knew that of everything in her arsenal, light was the one the barrow wights hated most and even a small glow might provide a measure of protection.

Sureptitiously, Calimir had given one of the stones which bore her name to each of the elves and had stowed one secretly in the packs of the other travelers as well. One had also been left for Andy, and she had told him to keep it for luck. She had decided against openly giving the jewels to the non-elven for fear that avarice and greed for the stones would mar their functioning. She hoped they would not be needed, but if they were they could help the travelers whether they knew their real worth or not.
