Sap brought his torches out of his bag, they had been treated with some kind of resin so as to be water-proof and to burn slower. It seemed to have done at least an okay job of staying dry. He handed them over to Haaden, feeling just a little reluctant. He moved over and touched Halden's arm. It was very, very cold and wet. He began to rub Halden's arms in an attempt to begin to warm him. -- The Clearing

Haaden took the torches from Sap. Together they would probably have enough for a comfortable little fire. She pulled the flint from her bag and struck it on her sword (which she had somehow managed to keep hold of). Sparks flew but didn't catch. Haaden picked up the cloth that her torches had been wraped in. Parts of it were still dry. She ripped off the dry cloth and put it beneath the torches. Hopefully they wouldn't need them later. Right now they had plenty of light with the strange glow but how long would that last? She removed one of Sap's resin-treated torches from the pile, just in case. Pushing the dry cloth further beneath the remaining torches she struck the flint to her sword again. This time the cloth caught fire. It wasn't long before she had a nice blaze going. The torches would probably burn for a good while. Moving closer to Sap and Halden she asked "How's he doing?" (NT) -- Haaden, 18:06:31 04/11/04 Sun
