Conner Saturday January 20th, 2007 7:36:07 PM
The tattooed fighter listens to Kay's stories about the Ginny and an uneasy feeling comes over the man. Raised on a farm, Conner retains some of the superstitions common amongst rural folk. "I think we'd better have a word with some of the children." he advises Mira and the others.
Kadaz Sunday January 21st, 2007 6:52:06 PM
"May be the children can provide some information. But it doesn't sound like this Frist Ginny, if real, would take supplies from the children. Something else must be going on." Kadaz starts out early to the kitchen. It's going to take him a while to get his shoes on.
Mira d20+9=28 d20+8=17 Sunday January 21st, 2007 10:45:27 PM
When Kay and Buckle have finished, Mira goes looking for the children with Thar. She lends her support with gentle questioning regarding the whereabouts of the children's secretive new friend.
Diplomacy=28 Gather Info=17
Arm Monday January 22nd, 2007 5:49:50 AM
Sympathizing with Kay's obvious "condition", Arm offers to help her in the kitchen before he leaves with the others. While they are in the kitchen, he says quietly to her, "So tell me, my dear..how is the state of the finances here at the orphanage? We recently came into a rather large windfall, and I for one have most of it left over.".
Playtime! (DM JohnP) Monday January 22nd, 2007 9:17:01 AM
The party deecides that the children may have some knowledge about Frost Ginny that would be of use, so most of them trudge back outside. Edmund, of course, remains firmly planted at the table inside the house. It's cold outside and, well, there's children out there. As well, there was mention of tea.
Shadow stays at the table with Buckle, too. When he asks about places where Tyrus may have gone, Buckle shrugs. "Like I said, he was here in the summer so he should have known the way. If it were snowing and dark, he might have turned down the wrong lane. When did he leave the Grey Owl?"
Arm also stays inside, moving to assist Kay to the kitchen. She quickly answers his questions about finances, "We're good. Not comfortable, by any means, but not too bad off. We have enough to get through the winter even though we won't have anything extra for Midwinter. I was hoping ...".
Kay smiles as she stares wistfully at the children.
"Well, to have something special for them. But if you want to help us, we would gladly accept any assistance. Please excuse me, the girls can make tea and bring it to you."
Kay hurries through a door on the far side of the kitchen while the children who were helping there stare at Arm.
++++++
The party members who go outside stand and look at the children, who simply stare back. At least until Thar joins the older children in a snowball fight that involves a lot of running around the buildings. Conner and Kadaz eventually join in. The young girl who previously asked Mira about making snow angels approaches her once more with an expectant smile on her face.
It's not long before the adventurers are covered in snow, panting and grinning. Whatever the reason for joining the children outside, it is fun. Eventually, gentle questioning provides some answers to the questions.
The little girl making snow angels with Mira volunteers that "Ginny comes at the end of the day." Another girl pipes up, "Sometimes she comes in the daytime, when it's snowing." Both agree that Ginny is nice even though she always reminds them to play nice, share and keep their promises.
During one of his circuits of the barn, Thar notices a saucer of milk left by a door. When he pays attention, he notices other offerings of food including fruit and other things not desired by cats. When asked, the younger boys say: "Ginny told us to do that, to be nice to visitors." "Ya, the little things that like to be around people." Knowledge Nature DC 15 - Highlight to display spoiler: {Common superstition states that offerings of food like this ensure the friendship of the smll fey.}
The children can't offer a consistent description of Ginny. Some say that she's old "like a granny" while others say that Ginny is "pretty like Kay". They do agree that Ginny dresses in gray and white but sometimes it's a long dress or robe, sometimes "old-fashioned clothes" and one boy says that she was dressed "like you, in metal".
But they all agree that grown-ups can't see Ginny "unless she wants them too". And she likes Kay and Buckle, so she Ginny doesn't let them see her.
Edmund Monday January 22nd, 2007 12:17:45 PM
((Sorry about the missed post. I was sick over the weekend. Doing a bit better now that the entire weekend is lost.))
Edmund is only too happy at the opportunity to stay inside where the tea is and the children aren't. He occasionally looks out the window, seeing the snow-covered adventurers and the children. At this, he smiles slightly, shakes his head, and sips his tea.
"Absolutely mad, the lot of them. Like as not, they'll all get pneumonia. Can't say I didn't warn them!"
Edmund sips his tea again thoughtfully, adding, "Well, I say that, but I suppose I didn't warn them. Oh well."
Shadow Monday January 22nd, 2007 12:44:50 PM
IF it is still early in the day (not sure) Shadow will suggest, "I say that some of us go take a look around the way back until we can see tracks of a cart and look and see where that goes."
IF it is not early he will suggest that they do that in the morning.
Thar ail Baerer d20+5=16 Monday January 22nd, 2007 3:21:23 PM
After losing in multiple snowball fights and sopping wet from melted snow, Thar finally takes a walk around the house. ON his travels, he notices several interesting items and that brings back a memory of past experiences. (Know (Nat) = 16)
When he reaches the rest of the group, he states "I remember that offering food or other things like this can improve relations with fey. The Ginny may be some sort of fey and if we could get her attention, we may make some progress in our quest. Does anyone have any ideas on how we should progress?"
Kadaz d20+13=19 Monday January 22nd, 2007 3:57:14 PM
Birdie has a tremendous time romping with the children in the snow. He steals a hat there, a mitten there, dropping them in the snow to tempt the children to chase, then picking the item up and running away with hit. Eventually he tires and lays down in a snow-free area, panting.
Kadaz starts to behave like a statue, accepting the snow balls that hit him. Eventually he enters into the spirt of the day, trying to swing the flat part of his axe at snowballs coming at him. (hit AC19)
Conner Monday January 22nd, 2007 7:12:53 PM
Conner spends some time with the kids outside, hiding behind the barn and lobbing snowballs at the younger kids, taking cover behind Kadaz, who takes a while to figure out the game, and eventually rolling down the small hill with three or four kids gathered up under his arms.
When everyone is exhausted, he sets the kids down and has a word. "I was interested in your stories about Ginny. Never heard of her when I was your age, and I guess she won't let me see her now, but if you could ask her if she knows what happened to Tyrus and his cart and pony I'd be thankful."
Conner ruffles a few heads of hair, squashes a few hats a bit further down than they're meant to go, and makes a beeline for the main house before any of the kids can find their range with a snowball.
Mira Monday January 22nd, 2007 7:43:58 PM
Mira enjoys the day in the snow, though she remains at the fringes with the kids that seem a little more shy and sensitive, and likely to get run over by the more rambunctious play of the others. She tries to get them to work together to make a great snowman, and then another, referring to them with a wink at the kids as 'Mrs. Kay' and 'Mr. Buckle'.
When it is time to go in, she makes a great show of stamping her feet, and shaking the snow from her cloak, encouraging the children to do the same so as not to track snow all over the floor.
******
When Mira has the chance, she suggest to the group that they stay over at the manor, using it as a base from which to reconaissance the area (that is if Kay and Buckle agree!). With her warm Cloak of Comfort, and her bedroll, she imagines bunking in the barn should be okay.
She confides to the others, "I don't need much sleep these days, and I'd be interested in keeping an eye on these little offerings that have been laid out....just to see what shows up."
Arm Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 5:50:17 AM
When Arm finishes with Kay in the kitchen, he ventures outside to watch the proceedings, albeit from afar. The cold weather is starting to get to him, but rather than sound like Edmund, he keeps quiet on the subject.
Once Mira comes back in, he pulls her aside and mentions to her what Kay told him, "Perhaps there is something we can do to make the children's Midwinter happier, regardless of whether we find our missing carter or not.". Looking at her meaningfully, he continues, "I've been thinking...from what we've heard of this 'Ginny', she doesn't sound like she would do anything to harm good-hearted people. Perhaps there is a dark side to our friend the carter that no one knows of, and if in fact she DID take him, it could be that she doesn't realize that the cargo he carried was for the children. Maybe if we explain the situation to her, she'll let us have the cargo and then she can do what she wishes with him. At this point, I don't think I want to be on her 'bad side'.".
Lunchtime at the Orphanage (DM JohnP) Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 8:12:23 AM
After the morning's play, Kay goes to the door and calls the children in for lunch. Edmund eagerly agrees to move from the table where he has been lingering over a cooling pot of tea. The girls and boys who had been working in the kitchen set out bowls and spoons for everyone, including the party.
Outside, there is a rush towards the house after Kay calls from the back door. Even so, the children are surprisingly organized as they remove their outside clothing and boots, hanging them on the numerous hooks in the entry. The older children help the younger ones with their boots before moving into the kitchen where a large basin of warm water and a bar of soap has been placed for everyone to wash before eating.
The party follows into the dining room, finding that extra places have been squeezed onto the benches for them. After everyone is at the table, Buckle nods to Thar and asks the visiting cleric to bless the meal. Then the children line up to get their bowls filled with a soup full of vegetables and bits of chicken. Perhaps the soup is bit thinner than planned before the party arrived, but it is still a warm meal for the children after being outside. There are also platters of fresh baked bread on the table with bowls of pale yellow butter beside each platter.
After the initial clamour of spoons hitting bowls and slurping, the children begin to talk. They are obviously still excited about the visitors and most are willing to talk about Ginny despite the glances from Kay and Buckle.
When Conner asks a child about relaying a message to Ginny, the little boy nods.
"But she doesn't come every day, like."
After the meal, the children take their bowls to the kitchen. A different set of children take over the scrubbing of dishes while the remainder of the children head to different parts of the house. Kay and Buckle take a moment to talk to the party.
Kay smiles at them as she replies to Mira's request, "You're welcome to stay, if you like. We can find room for you with the children, or maybe down here. Right now the children are doing some chores, then the older ones will get their lessons while the young ones nap."
"You've probably got several hours before dusk if you want to scout about. Maybe you're right about Tyrus. I mean, he was good with his pony but he wasn't the friendliest sort. Certainly, he never played with the children when he brought loads here in the summer." Buckle chews on a knuckle for a moment before continuing.
"The locals say that you shouldn't wander the winter roads at night, not without good reason. Do you know when Tyrus left the Grey Owl?"
Mira Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 9:09:11 AM
Mira likes the idea of spending the afternoon out of doors. With her magical cloak, she is always comfortable, no matter what the temperature.
With Arm's suggestion fresh in her mind, and a free afternoon before them, Mira suggests, "we could scout the contryside under the guise of a little hunting and gathering expedition. If we are lucky we might find a few coneys for Kay's pot, or maybe even something larger. There might be things still growing in the wild that could be gathered and used to make medicines or tea."
Mira waits for a response from her companions before adding, "of course we will be on the lookout for any traces of the lost carter or this Forst Ginny."
Mira will disclose that she has some magics that will ensure that those who do not have sufficient cold weather clothes, are able to endure the elements.
Shadow d20+2=16 Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 9:43:18 AM
"I agree we should start to scout around to see if we can find any signs of Tyrus. As for hunting, well I have my bow and can try and look the part."
IF the group decides to go out, Shadow will use some of his stuff to try and make himself look the part of a common hunter and not a city rogue.(Disguise=16)
Edmund Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 11:57:15 AM
Edmund (surprisingly) agrees to go along with the expedition to scout the countryside, abandoning the warmth of the house and the presence of tea. What on earth could motivate such a decision is anyone's guess.
"The job soonest started is soonest ended," Edmund declares.
Thar ail Baerer d20+12=32 Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 12:03:40 PM
Thar adds "I'll join Shadow and do some hunting and trapping and see if we find anything related to Tyrus. If we get any animals, we could give the meat to the orphans and cure some of the best cuts. The cured meat could be left out for the Ginny, and she may enjoy it."
He'll change into this hunting gear, gather his bow and go out hunting, in addition to trying to spot any sings of Tyrus.
Spot = 32 (Yea! Natural 20 finally!!!)
Kadaz Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 2:10:17 PM
Kadaz adds his agreement. "Yes, let's start searching now. Maybe we'll get lucky and find a trail."
Arm d20+6=23 d20+11=25 Wednesday January 24th, 2007 5:49:35 AM
Arm nods in agreement to Mira's suggestion, "I shall stick with you, my dear, and even though your presence alone warms my heart, I will probably need some of your magic to keep the rest of my body warm.".
To Buckle, he says, "As far as I can recollect, we were never told what time he left the Owl. We'll be back before nightfall, though.".
While they are out and he keeps alert for any signs of Tyrus, he discusses the prospect of providing Kay and Buckle with enough funds to buy Midwinter gifts for the children. (spot=23, listen=25)
Conner Wednesday January 24th, 2007 7:53:29 AM
"That's alright lad" Conner replies to the young boy. "If you do see her, ask about Tyrus, and tell her there's folks that care about him and are want'n to know."
Conner gathers his gear and prepares to help out with the search. "Maybe we should ask at some of the surrounding farms. If we split up we can cover more ground" he suggests to Mira and the rest of the 'Order'.
The Hunt Resumes (DM JohnP) Wednesday January 24th, 2007 8:30:29 AM
The party prepares to head back out onto the cold road to find the errant Tyrus and his cart of Midwinter supplies. Everyone heads back out to the road but then they stop and debate for a moment after Conner suggests canvassing the neighbouring farms about the missing carter while others are intent on finding any trail that Tyrus may have left.
There's enough daylight left for the trackers to walk to the Grey Owl and return to the orphanage by evening. Those who choose to canvass the neighbouring farms would be able to visit maybe the six closest, depending on how mong they stay and chat.
Arm muses whether it would be simpler to just give Kay and Buckle some money for Midwinter gifts. However, it is only a two days before Midwinter and someone would have to stay at the orphanage while the pair travelled to Plateau City. And that's even if Kay is willing to make the trip.
(OOC: Please indicate which group you wish to go with, how long you want to keep looking or asking neighbours and how / where you're going to meet up.)
Shadow d20+7=23 Wednesday January 24th, 2007 9:52:02 AM
Shadow slaps Thar on the back and waits to see who else will be with them hunting and searching.
When they head out Shadow will keep an eye out for any signs of Tyrus (or the wagon) going off the main road. (Spot=23)
Thar ail Baerer Wednesday January 24th, 2007 12:19:42 PM
Thar will join the group that is going to the Grey Owl and return later in the day. His plan is to search for trails as much as possible that may have come off of the road (near farmhouses) and visit the farmhouses with the rest of his team. He wants to maximize daylightand won't return until the last bit of light is gone.
He's going to maximize the daylight time and try to kindly ask about Tyrus. He'll use his clerical garb to give the impression that he is a priest asking about Tyrus as a lost parishoner, in order to try to improve the response of the farmers.
Edmund d20+9=28 Wednesday January 24th, 2007 3:03:18 PM
Edmund is only too happy to go along back to the Grey Owl again, and will do his best to aid his friends with his diplomacy whenever it is needed. (Diplomacy = 28)

The sorcerer is most interested in a walk through the country and any forested areas. She would be inclined to stick to small roads and paths, at least nothing smaller than a well worn game trail. Not being a natural tracker, she is at a disadvantage seaching the woods for signs of the missing man. (Search=11, Spot=10) Should she, and those with her come upon any domicile, she will knock and enquire politely if they have any knowledge of the missing carter. (Diplomacy=28, Gather Info=13)
Should it be required, Mira will use one of her scrolls and cast Endure Elements on the bard, Arm.
It has been very long time since the sorcerer has used her light crossbow, but using magic against the animals of the forest somehow doesn't seem right. Should the party come across something that would add a little protein to the orphan's diet, Mira will take a shot. (Hit AC 20, 7 pts dmg.)
Arm d20=12 d20+4=17 d20+11=22 d20=4 Thursday January 25th, 2007 5:49:21 AM
Arm follows Mira through the woods to seek out Tyrus or any clues as to his whereabouts. He is not much better at tracking than she, (search=12, spot=17, listen=22) but he goes along anyway. If he should see any game worth eating by the children, he takes a shot as well, but misses badly (attk: 4).
Conner d20+4=16 d20+1=13 d20-2=12 Thursday January 25th, 2007 7:59:35 AM
Conner accompanies those heading towards the Grey Owl, but stops at each of the neighbouring farms and cottages along the way, asking of Tyrus and his cart, and whether the residents have noticed any unusual activity over the last 4 days [Gather Info=12, Sense Motive=13]. He explains about the missing cart driver and their resolve to find the man and thus assist those at the orphanage.

Back to the Owl (DM JohnP) Thursday January 25th, 2007 4:23:26 PM
The party has a quick discussion and decides to retrace their steps to the Grey Owl while looking for signs of the carter. Along the way, Conner and Mira and Thar decide to check at the farmhosues and then catch up to their companions.
The open, snowswept road near the orphan's estate doesn't reveal any sign of the cart. There is nothing that would be called "game" close to the road, either. There are some errant chickens and ducks but Arm figures that catching those for the cookpot wouldn't help relations with the neighbours. And Shadow is somehow convinced that the Guild frowns upon poultry-rustling. Asking the closest farms reveals no clues to the whereabouts of Tyrus and his cart. No one saw him or has heard any news of him.
After a couple hours walking, eveyone is back at the Grey Owl. Checking with the stableboys and the servers finds that Tyrus hasn't returned this way. The stable boys confirm that Tyrus left the inn just before dusk. When the party glances at the western sky, it looks like they will have just enough daylight to return to the farm. It's difficult to tell, though, because of the gathering clouds that are already obscuring part of the sun.
Thar takes the time to check the courtyard where Tyrus parked his cart and is able to spot enough hoofprints and wheel marks to distinguish it from the other traffic on the road. As the party returns to the road, the ranger is convinced that he will be able to track the cart.
Edmund is thankful that the return trip is faster, what with the strengthening wind that tosses his cloak back and forth. Even Kadaz is beginning to feel the cold wind seeping through the chinks of his armor. It's not long before the first fluffy white flakes of snow blow past the party, not enough to obscure the traces of the cart tracks frozen in the mud of the road but clearly just the first flurries of a heavy snow. The shadows cast by the party fade as the setting sun is obscured by the clouds, bringing dusk early.
The snow gradually increases to the point where the horizon is obscured and landmarks become indistinct. The road is slowly being covered in white, erasing the faint traces of the cart tracks. When the wind gusts strongest, it is only the trees on each side of the road that provide any sign of what direction the party should go.
Finally, at a point that Thar thinks is midway between the Grey Owl and the orphanage, the ranger sees the last traces of the cart tracks veer towards the north edge of the road. When he mentions this, Arm and Edmund swear that they see the road curving off that way to a sheltering grove of trees. Thar disagrees and the other party members aren't sure.
Survival (or untrained Wisdom check) DC 15 - Highlight to display spoiler: {The correct path back to the orphanage is what Thar indicated, not the curving trail to the north.}
Kadaz d20+1=7 Thursday January 25th, 2007 7:10:54 PM
Kadaz peers at the ground but can't see any tracks at all. "I can't see anything. Can you?" he asks?
Thar ail Baerer d20+8=19 Thursday January 25th, 2007 9:16:27 PM
Seeing that the group isn't in agreement about what direction to go, Thar looks closer at the tracks and tries to decipher which could possibly be right.
Survival(Track) = 19
After a moment, he stands up and says "The path I identified is really the correct path back to the orphanage. I wonder here the road that curves North goes. If it isn't the proper way, then that is likely where our Tyrus went (pointing North to the curved road). He may have met with unfriendly forces, so I'd recommend a few of us go ahead and scout ahead. Shadow, want to join me?"
Thar ail Baerer Thursday January 25th, 2007 9:38:55 PM
(OOC - I'll be out of town this Sat'd (1/27) through next Tuesday (1/30), so I won't be able to post until late on Tuesday. I wanted to let everyone know, in case I forget to do that on Sat'd. Blessings, Ken)
Conner d20+1=21 Thursday January 25th, 2007 11:19:33 PM
The fighter plods through the deepening snow, head down to fight the gusts of wind. When the cart tracks veer north, Conner sides with Thar. "The track north does not go to the orphanage, of that I am sure!" he states. [Wis=21; Nat 20]
If the Mithril Order chooses to move north, Conner will assume his normal position on the flank, even if that means plowing through deeper snow.
Edmund d20+6=18 Friday January 26th, 2007 2:23:57 AM (WIS=18)
At first, Edmund points to the curving trail as he speaks to Thar.
"Much as it pains me to disagree with you, I think that's the way, Thar," he declares emphatically. "In fac--," and then Edmund falls silent, squinting at the path and the road. (WIS=18)
"No... no, you are right. I'm sorry. But still, your path here may go back to the orphanage, but there is a track here, and it seems to me that it goes right into that glade, just there. If Tyrus could have gone off anywhere between The Grey Owl and the Orphange, doesn't it stand to reason he may have made the same mistake, seeing this trail? And to me, it seems the cart tracks run that way."
When Thar declares he wants to investigate, Edmund pipes up. "I... I should like to come along too, if you don't mind. I won't get in the way! I have a strange feeling that maybe a Wizard will come in handy this once--" Edmund pauses for a moment, and then with a wink and a grin he adds, "As I always do!"
Edmund (Important Correction) Friday January 26th, 2007 2:32:19 AM ((UGH. My apologies!! It is late, and I've just mixed up Ed;s WIS with his WILL save. Actually Edmund fails the above roll: as his WIS is +0, his check is actually 12, not 18.
That said, please disregard paragraph III of the above post and read this amended version instead:
Edmund stares and stares, doing his best to agree with Thar, but he just can't come to the same conclusion. "No, no, I really don't think so. Look at the tracks here." When Thar remains unconvinced, Edmund nods. "Well, you're the leader, at any rate. Lead on."
((Then, the next paragraph can follow after this. It still applies. Once again, my apologies--behold the peril of updating at 02:30 after hours of Astrometrics homework!))
Arm d20=19 Friday January 26th, 2007 5:45:02 AM
Arm agrees with Thar, "Yes, you are correct in choosing the way back to the orphanage (wis=19). However, with this weather, it may be best if we start out early tomorrow morning. I realize that we are already far behind Tyrus, but if we lose our sense of direction in this blizzard, then we can very well become casualties ourselves.".
Shadow d20-1=8 d20+7=25 d20+10=20 Friday January 26th, 2007 9:35:12 AM
Shadow is really confused when the group says there are two paths, "I think this one is the way," Shadow says pointing to the north towards the grove of trees. As Thar asks him to join him to scout Shadow says, "Sure let's do it." He takes out he reaches for his bow, but realizes with the snow that it will be nearly useless so he unsheaths his rapier. He will follow the ranger in the front trying to search for signs of the cart and spot anything else that might be there.

Mira d20+2=10 Friday January 26th, 2007 7:42:59 PM
Mira is completely confounded by the swirling snow, (Wisdom=10) and doesn't know which way is the right way. Her cloak keeps her warm, but the coming of darkness worries her. "I'll go whichever way you think is right, Arm...Thar," she adds, as she uses some of her magic to cast Light onto the head of her short spear.
Into the Woods (DM JohnP) Friday January 26th, 2007 9:24:14 PM
Thar checks the tracks and identifies the correct road back to the orphanage. While he doesn't see the trail that Edmund and Shadow insist that they see leading to the north, Thar suspects that this may explain Tyrus's disappearance.
When Thar and Conner look to the north they simply see swirling patches of snow and an open stretch of field. Depending on how he turns, Arm sees either the open field or the trail leading to the north. The others - Kadaz and Mira - see only what Thar has identified as the road.
Thar suggests scouting to the north with Shadow. When the pair set out along the path that Shadow sees, the others watch them retreat. Something ... funny ... happens after a swirl of blown snow passes by. The pair seem to have suddenly travelled farther, their footsteps stretching out as if they were striding farther than humanly possible. Their images are blurry, like a veil of some kind had been dropped behind them. When Thar looks back, he sees the same effect. It's as if Thar and Shadow were slowly travelling from the road between the Grey Owl and the orphange to some other place that isn't quite there.
The party is faced with a choice. Explore the northern trail together or return to the orphanage and try again in the morning, as Arm suggests.
Conner Saturday January 27th, 2007 1:24:09 PM
The tattooed fighter wraps his cloak more securely about his massive frame and walks northward behind Thar and Shadow. "C'mon" he says. "Now's not the time to split up"
Edmund Sunday January 28th, 2007 1:59:38 AM
Edmund eagerly hurries off after Thar and Shadow, waving his arm as he rushes to catch up. "Hey, wait for me!" he exclaims worriedly.
Kadaz Sunday January 28th, 2007 10:22:30 AM
"I agree" the dwarf says. "Let's follow the trail now. No guarantee we'll be able to find it in the morning." He takes off with the others northward.
Arm Monday January 29th, 2007 5:43:23 AM
Seeing that the rest are resolute about pressing forward, Arm follows along behind his companions. To Mira he says, "Um..my dear, about that heating spell you mentioned earlier?".
Shadow d20+2=22 d20+7=11 d20+10=14 Monday January 29th, 2007 9:41:04 AM
Shadow notices the effect only after Thar points it out. As he sees indecision behind him, he waves the others on, "We need to check this out now." He looks over at Thar and says, "Let's push on." He will keep his eyes and ears open.
