Hollandaise's ears must have grown three sizes in the Battle Strategy Room. Instead of engaging the knights, she had waited and she had listened. Unless directly addressed, she thought it was rather not her place to speak. And if she didn't speak, people often spoke more to fill her silence. After the announcement of a quest (and knights must accept the quests set before them), she had sidled over to another knight. They conferred quickly, exchanged the pre-requisite pleasantries, and now, it was time to go. She checked her quiver again, counting the arrows by feel. "Are you properly provisioned, Jack?"

Jack drew his string back to test the resistance on last time and, eying Hollandaise down the shaft of an invisible arrow, replied, "I will be fine." He thought it was interesting to have a group of two, both of whom were archers; hopefully neither of them would have to worry about encountering the horsemen up close, or at the least could take something out before it did.
He reached back and checked the quiver strap next. "Are you ready?"

"I would say I was born ready, but I really do not know." She tilted her head as if thinking about it, then seemed to shake the thought off, smiling. Barely able to wait, Hollandaise set out, the path stretching in front of her. Suddenly, she began to feel quite ill. In fact, extremely ill. Her face blanched and everything she didn't eat came up against some poor tree. "I think, she said wanly, -you may have to continue without me..." QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 37/ 60 YOUR HP: 30/30

Jack grew a little pale himself as Hollandaise availed herself of the tree. "Ah...perhaps you should lie down," he suggested. "Rest first, Hollandaise. I will return as soon as I am able." With a wry smile, he added, "Perhaps you will end up being the lucky one here."
He disliked the idea of going on his own, but life was never fair. After making sure she was in a more comfortable position, the giant began his trek.

The journey to find the king did not begin smoothly--metaphorically or literally. After guiding his horse out of Camelot for several hours, he had them stop by a river to rest. What was unfortunate, however, was that the current was subtle. Jack didn't realize how strong the tug would be until he went in too deep and slipped on some of the wet rocks pebbling the floor.
He was lucky to have gotten away with only losing some food rather than his life.

And then, shortly afterwards, he didn't feel so hot himself. Something in the water...?
Heaving out what little lunch he had managed, he clutched at his horse's reigns and returned to Camelot, weakly following his animal's lead.

The sickness was mercifully short-lived. Hollandaise had felt a little silly abandoning her quest so soon and, honestly, as soon as she could stand properly, she was back up and heading out. And, just her luck, Jack was coming in again, as well. Clearly, it was time for round two. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 38/ 38 YOUR HP: 30/30

After that little venture, he was less inclined to bring more food. It might bite him in the a**, but the idea of having to carry a lot didn't sit well with him. About as well as his lunch previously had.
He didn't so much open his mouth as just give Hollandaise a look that asked if she felt better this time. Jack himself still looked slightly sweaty.

Quote: Rolling a 1: You accidentally slip, almost fall to your demise off a mountain cliff, and drop some of the food! Roll 1d6 to see how much food you lost. She still felt a little queasy, and it was her roiling stomach that she would place the blame on. Hollandaise slipped, and there was nothing of her usual grace about the way she tumbled down.

Her hands reached out, thin fingers abruptly catching around a branch. Her feet still dangled precariously and she made a small noise of distress as food tumbled from her pack. An arrow fell out as well, and her noise of distress was even louder. "Could I have a hand, please, Jack?"QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 35/ 60 YOUR HP: 30/30

A lot more careful this time around, Jack edged towards the cliff and peeked down, wincing. "Give me a minute," he called down to her. Wrestling the horses, he started to lead them down an uneven path.
The cliff was the home of a particularly ferocious wolf, one that readily greeted him as though it were used to fending off travelers from its territory. After a short period of struggle, he eventually managed to stab an arrow through its eye and coaxed the horses the rest of the way, eye twitching as he pressed his arm to his body.
"You can have this one," he quipped, extending his uninjured hand. Once she was up, he would tend to his injury as best he could.

As soon as she was up, Hollandaise gabbed his injured hand and began to wrap her spare bandage around it. It was red and raw only because it was new - any signs of infect would not show until the morrow. She tied the bandage smartly and tapped Jack's wrist. "Good to go, Jack, and-" And then she was violently ill. Again. Was the kitchen poisoning their food?? QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 35/ 60 YOUR HP: 30/30

He made a small face, not at the bandaging (no, that he watched very closely, the motions strangely familiar despite not being able to locate the source) but at his partner's illness rearing its head again. His stomach flipped and gave him a small panic, though nothing came of it other than sympathetic nausea.
Leaving her to sweat it out, Jack scouted ahead. Along the way, a giant spider accosted him; he left it food in case he found it more appealing than his beanstalk self.

Next was a...labyrinth? Was it the elves'? No, it didn't seem their style...Jack crept forward carefully.
Not carefully enough. The wrong tile was stepped on, and snaked suddenly rushed up from the slot in the floor, rattling and hissing. Not even his long legs were enough to escape some of them in time.
