DM - JC ------- The Warehouse -- Round 4 --------- d20+7=17 d20+7=21 d20+17=27 Thursday February 9th, 2012 3:50:50 PM
Revi chops into the dead bear, and the bear explodes in a cloud of dust, DC 19 fort or become Incapacitated for 1d4 rounds.
Snafu carves up the bear outside, DC 19 fort or become Incapacitated for 1d4 rounds.
Thar begins to channel energy, and along with Caedmon shooting arrows into it, the land shark falls to the ground. The arrows only a little of the puss and ooze out, but the channeled energy seems to cause it to explode covering everyone inside the building, fort save DC 17 or become sickened, and a fort save DC 12 if with in 10' or become nauseated) With the explosion of the land shark, Thar was a bit busy to notice any thing other than the bears were affected by the Holy Power.
Tishe casts her wall of thorns, parts of it are on fire, because she couldn't route it through the building, but it does seem to hinder the bears a bit.
Caedmon as stated before fills the land shark with arrows, and between him and Thar the land shark stops moving when it exploded. ______________________________________________
The bears inside the building, one attacks Caedmon the other attacks Revi, both miss. Another Rock crashes through the roof and misses Caedmon.
Snafu only Highlight to display spoiler: {There seems to be a tree moving in the woods, it must be your imagination.}

Snafu fought off the effects of the exploding bear (fort save 34), stepped forward and launched into another attack. Blade, claw and tooth could not be seen, but the cuts and blood they left behind were evidence enough.
All the while, Snafu watched the moving trees from the corner of his eye. (perception 31)

All of the bears except bear 6 are dead again. the combination of martial damage, thorns, fire and the power of positive energy do enough damage to drop them. Only bear 6 survives still. Snafu 1 save DC 19 fort or become Incapacitated for 1d4 rounds. Revi 2 saves DC 19 fort or become Incapacitated for 1d4 rounds. Tishe` 1 save DC 19 fort or become Incapacitated for 1d4 rounds.
With the wall of fire and the thorns, Snafu lost sight of what he thought was a tree moving, until it swatted him by reaching over the wall. the limb of the tree contacted Snafu and was like getting hit with a falling branch, only this is an actual branch. (gave you 25% chance to be missed due to tremorsense) The mossy like substance on it's limbs immediately sends tendrils into Snafu's blood stream and it slows his reactions as it solidifies in them.
Damage 27 + 1 point Dex damage (no save)

Bear 6 continues to push it's way through the thorns to get at the group.

Belting out a warcry, Revi runs through the hole the Landshark had made into the wall of the warehouse, through the wall of fire and within reach (10') of the giant tree (I think it should be Q12: O7,P8,Q9,R10,R11,Q12.)
On fire and screaming at the tree, Revi lets loose with a powerful attack. "Die you leafy bastard!"

While Revi handles the giant tree, Thar focuses his attention on the remaining dead bear... He can barely see it through the door but can still hit it's flank... He takes out his bow and deftly fires off a spread of arrows that sizzle with electricity...

Snafu managed to withstand exploding bear, but he was not so lucky with the tree. Not that he felt it in his enraged state.
He followed Revi's charge, straight through the fire and engaged the tree in true liontaur charging fashion.

OOC: I included sneak damage because I think it may still apply with tremorsense... can't find a ruling on it on the internet but I did find the discussion below which makes me think it does apply. In any case, I leave it in your able hands. If you feel it shouldn't apply just ignore the sneak damage.

Tishe' gags but is able to keep her lunch down as she is covered in dead bear goo.
She takes but a moment of time to Dismiss the Wall of Fire, not wanting to burn down the entire forest.
"It's a tree!", she says intelligently, looking up at the gargantuan leafy tree towering above them. "Is it the forest attacking or is it under a different spell?"
The witch really doesn't know what to do right now. Any attack by her with the tree so close would ensure a retributive strike. And there is another bear out there, trying to push into the thorns. So instead of acting, she waits, gauging the battle and conserving her limited number of spells.

Revi turns and tries to rush the Tree, she hits the wall of thorns and stops as she hits it, making it only 5 feet into it as her feet get tangled up. (you posted no roll for moving through it so I rolled and got a 14) Thar shoots the last bear, with the arrow and thorns it also dies again with a puff of dust, but no one is near enough to it. Snafu charges the tree. (denying sneak damage since it knows where you are generally and sneak damage is from doing unexpected damage to a target, you still get a 25% miss chance from invisible, but the tree does have tremmorsense so you don't get full 50%) Snafu does some serious damage and as he claws and chops the tree it's bark crumbles into dust. Tishe` holds her action after dismissing the wall of fire. Some of the wall of thorns is on fire though. Caedmon guards Tishe` in case more animals should come through the broken walls of the workshop.
With the Land Sharks and Bears all dead, only the very big tree remains. The tree swings at Snafu the first attack misses (from invisibility) but the second connects doing 31 damage to him as well as 5 points of dexterity damage.
Thar, AC 25, 102/132 d20+26=37 ; Wednesday February 15th, 2012 3:42:40 PM
As a move action, Thar lowers himself to the ground, and then moves further outside (N9) to get a view of what's happening and maybe get an idea of where those trees are attacking from (Perc = 37 )

Snafu took a second massive hit from the tree. He raged off the pain, but couldn't overcome the uncoordinated sensation in his feet and off-hand.
"BAH!" he spat as he dropped his kukri and attacked with scimitar in both hands.

@DM, the route I chose, and posted, for Revi skirted the wall of thorns because of the hole left in the wall by the landshark, so I shouldn't have hit the wall of thorns at all.
DM:
You run out of the 40' movement you have... 2 diagonals = 15' not 10, so you went 4 diagonal totaling 30' but the 2 squares where the land shark came through the wall is difficult terrain so those 2 diagonals are 30' instead of the 15 so you moved 3 squares total unless you want to run
Jim: I'm not sure how, but I thought diagonal movement penalties were removed in Pathfinder, but they were not. I guess she's eating thorns.

If Tishe removes the thorns, Revi charges the Tree:

But there is still something not right here, and Tishe's mind continues to wander, looking at the surrounding forest to see if anything else is around.

(new map not really needed, since Revi and Snafu are next to the tree who didn't move)
Revi charges in and chops into the tree and the same effect as Snafu's prior attacks happens, the bark and tree underneath crumble and turns to dust. Snafu hits a couple times, but misses more than he hits.
Between Tishe` and Thar, they spot no other trees moving around, and there are no more large boulders crashing to the ground either.

Snafu took another painful hit, which further slowed him. One more hit like that and the battle would certainly be over for the Liontaur.
Nonetheless Snafu pressed the attack. What his swing lacked in coordination and speed he made up for in raw power.

Snafu, feeling the effects of the tree's mossy subject in his muscles manages to miss the tree, mainly because his body refuses to respond the way it normally does. Revi carves up some more tree, hitting it twice. Tishe` seeing that something is seriously wrong with Snafu, fires off her scorching ray. Just as the tree is about to hit Snafu, it's limbs droop towards the ground and the tree leans dangerously towards the south, being kept from falling by the other true trees surrounding it. The only movement that can be seems by the thing is the gentle breeze that is blowing through the forest. There are some small fires burning where the wall of fire had been, and the warehouse has a coupe areas that are starting to catch on fire as well.
The tree is well and truly dead, so are the bulettes and the bears.
Now, to stop the fires from growing and find out what else is in the building.....

Revi steps back and lets out a long breath of air, feeling the rage ebb from her, she smiles and says, "Is there a cleric in the group? I could use a little healing."
Thar, AC 25, 102/132 Saturday February 18th, 2012 4:31:52 PM
Thar puts away his bow now that the main combat is finished, and rushes over to Snafu... He knows the fire is dangerous, but his priority is seeing to the health of his friends... With a firm touch, he says, "Here, let me see what I can do about curing you of whatever the tree hit you with..."
This spell (Restoration) will take 1 minute to cast, and then will cure Snafu of all his Dex score loss... So Thar is out of the battle for ~ 6 rounds while casting it...

Thar, examines Snafu and finds that there is some sort of mossy substance growing inside Snafu's skin and muscles. The same goes for Revi as well, but not nearly so much as Snafu. He takes the time and casts his spell, Snafu seems to return to normal, for now.... Although still wounded and it appears that there is still some trace of whatever it was still inside him. It just isn't effecting him now....

Revi AC32/16/31 | 122/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *ENLARGE-P*-5 DEX* Sunday February 19th, 2012 9:46:44 PM
Revi rubs her chin and says, "I'm not a herbalist, but I'm thinking that the touch of this here tree is what caused the demise of these bears and landsharks. I think it may be best to burn the tree at our earliest opportunity." Looking at Thar, "Hey sugar, got any of those spells for me?"
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 56/115) Monday February 20th, 2012 2:45:27 PM
"I'm confident that the powers given me by Sargrass will be able to heal everyone and eliminate the mossy tree growth inside of Revi and Snafu.", says Tishe'. "But let's get the fires out before we cause a forest fire!"
Tishe' doesn't have any spells to help with dousing a fire, and so will do her best by throwing dirt on the blazes until they are out. If any fires threaten the forest proper, Tishe' will use her Staff of Fire to circle the blaze and burn everything out inside the Wall of Fire.

It takes a few minutes to put out the fires, about the time Thar is done casting on Snafu, the others are done extinguishing the fires. The building looks real unsafe right now, with most of the south and west wall demolished from the land sharks having made new entrances there. The door to the smaller area, is locked.
Thar, AC 25, 102/132 d4=4 ; d20+17=27 ; Tuesday February 21st, 2012 9:51:06 AM
While the others do some exploring, Thar checks out the rest of the party's condition...
Revi's hurt too but he doesn't have any more restoration spells... However, he does have Neutralize Poison and after inspecting Revi to see if the tree's sap is poison (Heal = 27 ), he casts it on her to help clear up the condition... He'll also cast Lessor Restoration to cure 4 pts of Dexterity damage
He knows that there are others who need healing, and he'll do it in later rounds...

Tishe' inspects the moss on Revi and Snafu to determine its property and how she can best remove the afflicted condition on her packmates. "I have several options", she says similar to a surgeon discussing a case, "whether it is poison, disease, curse, or other ailment, I can Purify, Remove Curse, or Neutralize Poison."

DM - JC ------- The Warehouse -- Round 6 --------- Tuesday February 21st, 2012 2:48:40 PM
The damage was DAMAGE, not a Drain, so lessor will do nothing. It is also not a poison, it seems to be a "unliving" substance like a fungus you'd find on a tree's bark, only this seems to feed on muscle and blood.
On Snafu. the substance seems to be non-active, but it is not "gone" just dormant? maybe?

We will be gaining a new player soon, so this is just a notice of that fact, if our new player would drop me an email I'd appreciate it.
You did a surprisingly good job on what you faced, I'll get xp out in the next day or so.

Snafu then studied the tree and the fungus more carefully. "We need to better understand what were up against here".

Based upon his examination, Thar decides not to use up his lessor Restoration spell... Instead, he'll work with Snafu and Tishe' on determining the best treatment...

Meanwhile, he'll burn up some healing spells to get everyone back up to higher hps...

Revi is not pleased that a fungus is growing inside her, but what's a girl to do. She thanks Thar for the healing and indicates she looks forward to tomorrow when he can use restoration on her too.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Wednesday February 22nd, 2012 1:57:38 PM
Tishe' feels the healing move through her and thanks Thar with joyous brown eyes.
For the fungus, Tishe' tries to see if Cure Disease or even Command Plants would destroy the fungus.
If nothing in her inventory seems like it will work, Tishe's mind turns to the locked door. "This place looks like Skalipy's hideout in that it is a laboratory, but it tests monsters instead of people. It could be the now-gone lair of a Monstrologer. My packmate Gilan was wanting to do that back in the Sargrass Plains."
She urges the others to get together and find a way to open the door.

Having done what you could for your companions the group gathers in the doorway to the workshop. The far wall, which had workbenches along it is gone, and the benches are just more rubble added to the demolished wall. The south wall added its remains to the wrecked cages that lined that wall, in fact the southern end of the roof is sagging quite severely, it may be about to crash to the ground, luckily there is no wind right now. The interior wall looks solid, the door has a fairly hefty pad lock on it, keeping it closed. There are no windows in either the interior or exterior of that area. The stench from the rotted insides of the land sharks is quite powerful, but you can mostly keep from gagging, only once in a while stopping yourself from puking.
The tree outside that you stopped is slowly disintegrating into a pile of crumbled whatever...

Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Thursday February 23rd, 2012 11:12:28 AM
Tishe' looks at the lock, then meaningfully at Revi's oversized sword. "Care to do the honors, sweetie?"
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 d20+26=39 ; Thursday February 23rd, 2012 11:54:56 AM
Thar helps examine the walls and doors, and looks for any secret entrances, traps or hidden goodies that may be helpful to giving more information about the area... (Perc = 39)
(OOC - Please everyone update your hps so I can see who needs healing after the 1st round...)

The door explodes as Revi hits it, going inside the room is divided into two rooms it looks like, the shattered door reveals a 10 foot by 20 foot office with another wall and a door to the west. This room is some sort of office, there is a desk, but it looks like it's been cleaned out, the rest of the room has another workbench with a few glass vials as well as a quite a bit of broken glass. There there is a filing cabinet that looks like it was set afire and left to burn, luckily the warehouse failed to catch and burn to the ground. Beyond the door on the west wall is a set of stairs, cut out of the stone that is apparently just below the soil, or maybe it's just magiced and then the stairs were cut into it, seems as though there are a lot of trees outside after all. At the bottom, it turns left and vanishes from sight, after going down for almost 50 feet.

Thar slowly enters the room first, scouting it out carefully... He looks for traps, triggers or any other hidden dangers. He inspects the desk, the cabinet, the vials and door to the west, as well as anything else that catches his attention. He points to the steps and whispers, "Somebody guard it so we don't get surprised while we're searching here...."

Tishe' takes control of the vials of liquid, "potions are what I'm good at", she says absentmindedly as she gathers the vials for identification. First casting Detect Magic to look at them, she asks Wart to grow up, which the cauldron obiediently does. Using her witchy powers, she tries to identify the vials of liquid.

Snafu soaks up all of Thar's good healing. "AHHHHHHHHH! I feel like a new Liontaur!" He then polished off his healing by drinking one of his healing extracts.
Feeling much better he focused on investigating the room.

The vials are empty, although there are stains near the smashed one's. (sorry for the incomplete description)
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Monday February 27th, 2012 11:50:22 AM
(DM - Anything on the search of the rest of the room? Or were you going to give another post today giving those results?)
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Monday February 27th, 2012 2:29:25 PM
Question is.... sorting through the trashed files and other stuff would take at least 30 minutes, do you wish to spend that long or investigate the stairs and come back afterwards?
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Monday February 27th, 2012 4:16:26 PM
Thar was more interested in checking the walls, back of the file cabinet and the other door if that doesn't take as much time... 30 mins is a lot, and we'd be better to come back for the files themselves.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Monday February 27th, 2012 4:50:13 PM
Tishe' agrees. "There is nothing up here to disturb the papers right now. Let's see if the stairs yeild anything more ... wow-worthy."
The witch has Wart to shrink and reattaches the caldron to her belt before casting a Light spell on her staff and inviting Revi to lead the way downstairs. "Snafu, can you take the rear? It may be snug for you, but you would be at a great place to toss some of your bomb-potions about."
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Monday February 27th, 2012 8:00:02 PM
The group proceeds down the stone stairs, the tunnel takes a westerly turn at the bottom. Peering around the corner, Revi sees the hallway go about 60 feet, the sides and roof are made of stone, the floor is just a simple packed earth. Near the end, a couple of roots have grown up from the floor, making it a tight squeeze even for a man sized person, those whom are large sized will take a good 5 minutes to just get through, unless you remove the roots. Getting past the root system, the group sees the hallway change into a line of what looks like prison cells on both sides. Four doors to a side and one at the end for a total of nine doors. All of the doors except one are open, that one is the furthest door on the south wall. Each door has a pane of glass in it, weird for a prison. Glancing through the window, you can make out a hazy form in the shape of a "man" more than that, you'd have to either open the door or break the window.
Revi AC32/16/31 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *ENLARGE-P*-5 DEX* Tuesday February 28th, 2012 12:43:11 AM
Revi slowly proceeded into the room, greatsword at the ready, "Definitely some kind of mad scientist laboratory, or something like that from the tales I've heard around the campfire. I don't think we should open or break the glass."
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 d20+26=29 ; d20+10=13 ; Tuesday February 28th, 2012 2:09:34 PM
Thar takes a brief step into each open room, looking for anything interesting... (I'll give a percep roll if needed...)
He ponders Revi's suggestion and says, "I'm curious who that person is in the cell... Is there some other way we can find out who it is? If they're an innocent person, I don't want to leave them trapped here to rot and die... If there's no one here to feed it and care for it, then we're condemning it to death, if it's not already dead..."
He closely examines the door to see if its locked and/or trapped... (Perc = 29 ) Finally, he'll check the hallway itself and see if there's anything they missed... (Perc = 29, Dungeoneering = 13)
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Tuesday February 28th, 2012 6:42:17 PM
Tishe' tries something more direct. She takes her staff and BANGS on the door. "HEY IN THERE! Can you hear us? Can you see us?"
"I'm thinking Monstrologer. And if I'm right, I'm not letting any poor thing rot in here. We have to let them out!"
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Tuesday February 28th, 2012 8:26:08 PM
Nothing responds to the banging on the door, or the tapping on the window. The walls and ceiling, as well as the floor are made of stone, that appears summoned by a spell. There is an active spell on the door and it seems to be active only on the inside of the door, not the side the group is standing on. As said before the shape of what is in the room is a "person", 2 legs, 2 arms, a body and a head.
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Wednesday February 29th, 2012 9:17:52 AM
Thar says, "Well then heck with it... If it's not locked from the outside... then let's see what our friend has to say..."
Assuming he didn't find any traps on the door (see previous post), he'll open it and then step back, allowing the more beefy party members to do their thing if this creature is hostile...
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Wednesday February 29th, 2012 10:31:26 AM
The door seems not to be locked, so as Thar grabs the handle, giving it a lift to unlatch, the magic surrounding the back of the door flashes and flares. After only a short moment, the brightness fades to nothing, and Tishe`s light becomes the only light in the area, the group hears someone say "Whaaa..." then nothing more.
(feel free to post now)
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Wednesday February 29th, 2012 1:22:03 PM
Thar tosses in a sunrod to help illumine the room...
Half-elf woman - RobC Wednesday February 29th, 2012 9:05:55 PM
Inside the cell, a very attractive half-elf woman recoils from the bright light, covering her eyes with her forearm. She wears fine clothes that appear a little masculine looking, and is unarmed - not even a knife sheath by her side. "I'm warning you.....anything you touch me with..... I'm breaking off and keeping" she seems to be swaying, unsteady on her feet. "You can tell that gritsucking dwarf.. tell him... tell him... ugh". She braces herself against the wall with her other arm but makes no attempt to leave the cell
------ Yay! :)
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 d20+26=45 ; d20+17=28 ; Thursday March 1st, 2012 11:37:04 AM
Thar moves in slowly, watching her closely, hands to the sides in an unthreatening posture... "We're not here to hurt you... My name is Thar and these are my friends... I'm not sure who this dwarf is, but I'm a healer and may I check you for injuries? You have my word I won't hurt you, and I just want to see if you need any help..."

And with that, Snafu bowed.

DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Thursday March 1st, 2012 1:53:19 PM
Please remember the hallway is only 5 feet wide and the "cells" behind the doors are 5x5, so there really isn't very much room down here.
Lia Dorwynn - RobC Thursday March 1st, 2012 8:05:21 PM
The half-elf lowers her arm from her face, her eyes adjusting to the light. As Thar steps forward, she backs away slightly before getting a better looks at her new "captors".
Her expression is one of confusement. "You're not with them" is said more as a statement than a question. Seeing an old box (or is it a chest?) to the side of her cell, she takes a seat. Leaning back against the wall, her legs outstretched and spread, her arms droop in front of her. No visible signs of hostility at least.
She holds her hand up to stop Thar from approaching "I'm fine. Just a little woozy. Did, did they get me drunk?!?" she tries to collect her thoughts, before briskly shaking her head and answering - or more like asking - some questions.
"The name's Lia. So where'd the others go? Ugly dwarf, his whore, and rat-boy? They were here like ten seconds ago. You must have passed them on the way in"
Revi AC32/16/31 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *ENLARGE-P*-5 DEX* Thursday March 1st, 2012 9:11:30 PM "Heh." Revi would leave the talking to the others, she kept guard just in case they had any unwanted visitors.
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Friday March 2nd, 2012 8:49:30 AM
Since she looks well, Thar smiles and says, "Well miss, I'm glad you're well. The dwarf and his friends sound like a group we've run into before and had a tussle with... How did you end up and what do you remember before you ended up here?"
He then steps back, and since they're in such close quarters, makes room to Tishe' and the others to ask question...
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Friday March 2nd, 2012 7:05:11 PM
"Yes", confirms Tishe', "that sounds like Skalipy and some beaters. But where is Kahlan?"
Lia Dorwynn - RobC Friday March 2nd, 2012 11:05:11 PM "I remember being in a tavern. Having a good time as usual. Then bound and being taken through a forest. Being thrown in here. I remember hearing something about me carrying something for the ugly dwarf. The door being shut, and then you opening it a minute later." Lia does her best to remember and convey her thoughts to the group. "Perhaps we can continue this outside? Rinn will be wondering where I've gone"
Seeing puzzled looks, Lia continues "Rinn's my.. Uh... Protector"
Regaining her footing, Lia nudges the crate with her foot, dislodging the lid. Seeing her belongings within, she grins and proceeds to both equip herself and change her attire, paying little attention to modesty or the reactions of any of the males in the group.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Saturday March 3rd, 2012 9:12:49 AM
Tishe' nods at the resiliance of Lia, a good quality, perhaps... "It is a sound plan to get back upstairs before introductions and speaking more on our next steps. It is cramped enough in here as it is!" Not able to get a good look in the cell, the witch has no idea what Lia is doing.
Tishe' transfers the cantrip on her staff to the door to provide light for Lia to get dressed, and then she retraces her steps back into the intimidating forest. "So many trees...", she shudders, much preferring the open spaces of her destroyed homeland.
Once in the air, Tishe' waits for her packmates and Lia to emerge before beginning. Lia sees an average-looking woman, brown is her eyes and wavy hair. She dressed in greens and tans, a staff that looks like flickering fire in one hand and a small cauldron hanging from a hip. The only thing that looks different than an ordinary housewife is that her face is pock-marked as if from some old disease and her nose looks like it wants to slide off the left side of her face.
"Many Shadows, Madame Lia, and to that of your Prottector Rinn. I am Tishe' Weaver, a witch in the service of Sargrass. I seem to be also the leader of this pack we call the Cinnamon Protectors. We have each been drawn to the Cinnamon Valley under mysterious circumstances and have agreed to stay together until we can determine what those reasons may be. While staying in the Cinnamon Valley, we have used our might to help the peaceful denizens of that Valley to protect and support."
The witch lets Lia take this in before continuing.
"In the last week, we are on the trail of a packmate that seems to have found the lair of an old foe; a disfigured dwarf named Skalipy. This is not the end of the trail, but it looks like you are a piece of it." Tishe' takes an intuitive jump and her eyes sparkle. "It appears that you and your Rinn are in need of some revenge with Skalipy. Would you break your path with us for a while?"
Revi AC32/16/31 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *ENLARGE-P*-5 DEX* Saturday March 3rd, 2012 4:39:09 PM
Revi starts to head back up unless there is another way out.
Lia -- AC23/15/20 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) -- CMD21 -- HP155/155 -- Rob C Sunday March 4th, 2012 1:44:48 AM
Once outside, Lia takes a look about, taking in the sight of the trees and the remnants of the building, breathing in the fresh forest air.
She listens as Tishe speaks, before responding. "An interesting tale, Tishe. Though I am not sure about joining this 'pack', as you call it. Rinn and I prefer to go about things our own way. I shall confer with him on the matter though" Lia responds politely to Tishe with a light nod.
Standing aside from the rest of the party, Lia puts her thumb and index finger to her mouth. It looks like she is trying to whistle, yet no noise can be heard. It takes but a minute for a shape to form before her. A very large shape. In a short time the shape materialises into that of a huge, six-legged monster. Easily 16ft high. Covered in dark fur, his claws and teeth look extremely sharp. He seems to look at each member of the party and a deep, gutterul growl comes from him and he moves to approach.
Lia cocks her head and the monster seems to calm down. His pose similar to that of a submissive dog. She turns back to look at the party "This is Rinn. Don't worry. He will not harm you now" before looking back at her 'monster'.
The two look at each other for quite a while before Lia spins back to face the party. "A year! I've been locked down there for a year!?!" She follows this up with a short tirade of vulgarity - swear words and curses in many different languages. You catch references to a dwarf, a pair of pliers, and the disintegrate spell. She is not happy.
She finally calms down enough to speak to the rest of the group. "Rinn tells me that I've been gone for over a year. I have no memory of this." she is pacing the ground, her face red with anger as she tries to make sense of everything. She finally pauses to approach Tishe. "I have decided that we would like to accept your gracious offer, Tishe. It seems our paths have crossed for a reason. I am not seeking revenge though. I want justice brought down on this dwarf, Skalipy you call him." You gather that the difference between revenge and justice may be lost on Lia. "Whatever Rinn and I can do to aid you along the way, you need only ask" She gives an open bow before the witch. "My name is Lia Dorwynn. Like you, Rinn and I travel looking to aid and support those that need it. If you would have us, we would gladly aid you as well"
Lia tends to Rinn and herself casting a variety of spells and patting one of Rinn's forelegs, while he playfully tries to nuzzle against her. ---------- Character sheet now available for viewing :) ---------- Spells available: Lvl 1: 7-3 = 4 ...

Putting away her sword as she thinks that whatever dangers that were lurking about had probably left some time ago. "I'm Revi, crazy b@#!$ with a sword, nice to meet ya." Scratching the wound that the huge treant had given her, she sets about burning the damn thing into ashes. "I'm going to take care of that big treant. It's spores need to be destroyed before they maybe contaminate someone else. Once it gets burning, we should put the bears on it too." Revi then sets about the task of burning them without burning down the whole forest.

Ok... XP time (for those who fought) 27,000 each.
Remember you have 2 still oozing land sharks as well as the dead bears and the dead treant.
Searching through the filing system, well the remains of one at least, shows it was lit on fire, you do find half a page that is still unburnt. In Dwarvish, se not strong enough t increase it's ability to ov jecting control, to dang
let me know about the remains and what you wish to do.

Oh, and interesting bit of information for everyone: Anyone within 10ft of Rinn gets a +2 shield bonus to AC, and +2 circumstance bonus on saving throws
Revi AC30/15/29 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *-5 DEX* Sunday March 4th, 2012 11:24:13 PM
Revi takes care of the treant, bears and landsharks as stated previously. Due to her background being an Anatomist, she'll carefully dissect the creatures and inspect them for any hidden clues as to Skalipy's or Kahlan's whereabouts, and to make their body parts smaller so they'll burn better in the bonfire she is going to build.
While she does this, she talks to Snafu, "Hey Snarf, that was pretty impressive back there. I've been thinking about it, and I was wondering if you could teach me a little about alchemy--what you do to make yourself stronger like that."
Lia -- AC23/15/20 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) -- CMD21 -- HP155/155 -- Rob C Sunday March 4th, 2012 11:37:28 PM
Lia will work with Revi to aid in whatever she is doing to the remnants of these creatures. She directs Rinn to assist with any lifting or breaking/crushing as required. The large beast complying, but watchful of the new pack.
"She looks like she can take care of herself in a battle" Lia notes, watching Revi "A little rough around the edges, but could be a good person to drink with"
"So do you have any leads on where this dwarf might be? she asks aloud.
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Monday March 5th, 2012 9:48:02 AM
Caedmon runs to the group and sees the new half-elf. He then looks at his packmates and begins apologizing profusely. "I'm sorry! I got distracted and separated from the group. It won't happen again." He then looks to the new addition and smiles. "Hi, I"m Caedmon, Caedmon Bogha. Nice to meet you.!"
OOC: RL got really crazy and I sent an email letting everyone know I was going to be out for a while. Things are better and I am back in action. Sorry again."
Lia -- AC23/15/20 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) -- CMD21 -- HP155/155 -- Rob C Monday March 5th, 2012 10:21:11 AM
Rinn looks at the centaur and starts salivating. He looks to Lia beggingly, but she gives him a disapproving shake of her head. Sulking, he resumes aiding Revi with corpse disposal.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) d20+8=18 ; Monday March 5th, 2012 1:40:35 PM
"A year?", Tishe' takes some time to come to grips with the time that Lia has been comotose and what that means about Skalipy's power. "That explains why you described Sharon (female werewolf) and Mortimer (rat-boy) as still alive. We killed them a couple of months ago, but Skalipy had escaped. We have no problems in getting some revenge as long as it works within the greater good. Why don't you break trail with us for a while before you choose to actually be part of the pack?"
Tishe' isnt' the most perceptive person in the Wold, but even she can see the strange mark prominent on both Lia and Rinn. "A Summoner", she states, "there was rumor weaving in the 'Grass that such magic was abroad, but I confess you are the first I have ever met." She looks at Rinn and gives the monster a short bow. "Many Shadows to you, Rinn, and glad I am of your companionship."
Tishe' is able to initiate and control the fire of the tree, the bullettes, and the bears by waiting for the others to pile up the corpses in one pile, and then surrounding the pile with an inward-facing Wall of Fire from her Staff. Inward-facing, the heat and flames only consume the objects interior to the fire, keeping the Forest safe.
Tishe' then brings out the Map that the group got out of Kahlan's mount's saddlebags. "This is where we are going, to Mount Bone. The map shows us where there is a secret entrance and it should lead us right to Skalipy."
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Monday March 5th, 2012 2:05:24 PM
Thar helps inspect the corpses, and removing his robes, digs in them, flinging entrails left and right (of course avoiding hitting his friends), checking their stomachs and other disgusting body parts for anything interesting...
He also greets Rinn with a friendly nod, always interested in using his ranger abilities to befriend creatures... He complements Lia on the majesty and power of such a companion and looks forward to seeing it rip and tear into enemies they might face...
He's especially interested in the office area, and says, "We've still got a door to open up and I don't think we've investigated everywhere... Once I get this gunk off me, let's see what else is there..."
New Snafu- AC 27 (T12, FF/24), HP 129/129 Monday March 5th, 2012 4:22:37 PM
Snafu the Liontaur goes to work with Revi and Lia. All the while he maintains a constant stream of chatter.
"You know Lia, we may have just met but I get a special feeling about you. I think we're going to be great friends, you and I. It's tough to explain but there is something about your presence that's reassuring."
A short while later Revi brings up alchemy which gets Snafu only more excited, so much in fact that he misses the 'Snarf' comment. "Yes... yes... the wonders of alchemy. A dab or this and a splash of that and VOILA! It's quite amazing really some of the effects you can mimic with alchemy. I'd be happy to show you all that I know. Perhaps one day I'll even be able to construct formulae that you can use to boost your already powerful abilities."
"Your sheer power and skill combined with my flurry of sneak attacks will make for a deadly combination in melee. I'm only starting to realize the possibilities!"

After digging through the gunk and insides of the critters what is found is a gauntlet and a total of 5000 gps in various coinage. (gold, silver, copper and even a couple of platinum thrown in) After the burning, you are surprised to find a piece of the treant still remains. About a 6 foot long section of it appears completely untouched. (basically a staff)
You had opened the door and then found the stairs down to where Lia was kept prisoner. The scrap of a note you found was from the remains in the first beyond the previously locked doorway.
Lia -- AC23/15/20 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) -- CMD21 -- HP155/155 -- Rob C Monday March 5th, 2012 7:48:55 PM
Rinn seems pleased with the attention he is receiving, smiling and baring his large fangs proudly. Though capable of speech, he is yet to talk - verbally, at least. He occupies himself with chewing on a rather sizeable log, in much the way a dog would with a bone.
"I have never been able to really phrase who or what I am" Lia responds to Tishe "I understand that others use the phrase 'summoner', but I don't know if that is right. Rinn is just as much a part of me as I am to him." This is said matter-of-factly, as she watches her eidolon turn the nearby log into splinters.
"Curious that you have already disposed of the woman and the rat. It sounds as if you have been after the dwarf for some time. Has he wronged you as well?"
Their conversation is interupted by Snafu, who seems both talkative and excited. "Special feelings? How about we just travel together first?" she responds with a wry smile and curious look, potentially misinterpreting Snafu's sentiments.
"So... Mount Bone" she subtly changes topic "It is not a place I am familiar with. But if the dwarf is there, then I would gladly travel there with you"
Lia walks over to Rinn, and mounts one of the two exotic saddles on his back. "Are you sure?" she quietly asks Rinn before speaking more loudly.
"Master Thar, Rinn would like to offer you a seat on his other saddle, if you so choose" she gestures to the saddle behind her.
Though appearing to be quite over recent events, Lia's mind continues trying to think of a fitting punishment for Skalipy. At present, no punishment seems severe enough. ---------- Spells available: Lvl 1: 7-3 = 4 ... Lvl 2: 7 ... Lvl 3: 6-1 = 5 ... Lvl 4: 6-2 = 4 ... Lvl 5: 3

Seeing Tishe' without a mount Caedmon offers to give her a ride. Should she refuse he will offer to anyone of Medium size or less who does not have a mount.
Before anyone can ask he blurts out, "No, I do not consider it demeaning. Domi gave me great abilities, and it would be foolish not to use them because of some selfish Taur pride."

A moderate transmutation aura is discovered around the gauntlet and a strong enchantment aura is found on the staff. The money is non-magical.

Tishe' laughs, her brown eyes twinkling at Revi's statement. "Too true, sweetie, now let's see if I can find any more specific information."
The witch brings both the gauntlet and staff to the grass in front of her and then casts Identify and Read Magic. She then uses her knowledge of spells to carefully determine the magic items properties.
After the magic items are passed out for use or storage, Tishe' pats Caedmon on the forearm. "You are a blackhanded packmate for the offer, sweetie, but I do have my own transportation." Once everyone is ready, the Witch pulls out a Broom from the magical Quiver on her back and is ready to Fly along with the group.

Lia sits atop Rinn, ready to ride out. The saddle behind her still vacant, should Thar require it.
While waiting, she examines her arms, and looks down her blouse for any signs that the ugly dwarf may have done "something" to her.
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Wednesday March 7th, 2012 9:30:21 AM
Thar helps clean up the mess he made and smiles at Snafu's antics...
To Lia, Thar grins and says, "I would be honored to ride with you ma'am on such a magnificent mount and companion. Along with being our healer, I usually scout for the group, so would you be offended if you and I ride in the front of the party? I want to keep an eye out for any threats or unfriendlies that might be in our path..."
Revi AC30/15/29 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *-5 DEX* Wednesday March 7th, 2012 1:06:00 PM
Revi walks since she has no mount--the blissful days of waiting for a unicorn still resound in her mind. She still remembers the image of Wilhelm, a noble unicorn stallion that placed the silver unicorn rampant tattoo magically on her shoulder--one day, one day.
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Wednesday March 7th, 2012 1:28:19 PM
It takes a while, but after some long delving into the base magic of the staff and gauntlet, it's discovered that the gauntlet is a gauntlet of rust. The Staff, all that can be figured out is that it's a +3 staff, but more than that... it comes up blank.
As to moving on, does the group wish to travel in the forest, or move to the edge of the forest before you continue on ward towards Shadow mountain....
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 106/115) Wednesday March 7th, 2012 2:44:27 PM
Tishe' urges Revi to use the Gauntlet of Rust until they are able to return to WatcHaven. "You never know when it may be useful.
Tishe' herself will take the +3 Staff as a secondary defensive tool should she need it, and places it in her magical Quiver along with her Staff of Fire.
The witch also is really worried about the woods. "Let's get out of the Woods before continuing to Bone Mountain", she says with some nervousness, "it would be frightfully easy to lose one's way in here."
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Wednesday March 7th, 2012 5:39:21 PM

Though obviously, should we take point, then approaching by stealth will not be our strong point" Lia says with a smile, giving Rinn's neck a solid pat "Would you prefer to go around or through the forest? If you are feeling brave, Rinn could always fly us over it, carrying the others?"
Every now and then, Rinn glances to Caedmon and licks his lips (his own lips, not lick Caedmons lips)

Okay, so let's get moving, either in the forest or out of it is fine."

He pats Rinn and says, "My friend, It was an honor to ride on you for this short time... Maybe we can go hunt some prey some time together..."
After climbing down, he arranges his gear, puts dirt and mud on his face to block out the shine, ties everything down and readies his travel cloak...
He then takes point and leads the way to the edge of the woods, and then towards wherever the group decides to go....

The group safely makes it out of the forest, there is a feeling of being watched, but no one saw anything or anyone watching them. Traveling along the forest's edge you make good time is your heading for Shadow mountain. It still looks along way off, but then again, it really is very very tall. The days pass, you make camp, break camp, you move along. After a few days, you come to the river that mostly cuts the Wold north to south. You head south hoping to reach one of the few ferries that cross the river. Reaching the first small village, it's discovered that their ferry will not be repaired until some time next week. A quick peek at the ferry confirms that it might be ready next week, the group is informed that about a days travel further south, there is a bigger village that has two ferries that work the river.

Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Thursday March 8th, 2012 12:45:41 PM
With several days travel, Tishe' is able to recover the few wounds she had on her body, and is in top condition as they arrive at the ferry and village.
Tishe' considers briefly the larger village and then puts the question to her packmates. "We could go south and to this other village. There we may be able to get rumors of what is going on (if anything) around Mount Bone. Or we can be more stealthy and pretend to go south. As soon as there are no eyes on us, I'm sure we can all fly over the river ourselves. The benefit is to be as surprising as possible to Skalipy, but the drawback is we may not have needed information ourselves."
Tishe' is content whichever way the group wants to go.
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Thursday March 8th, 2012 3:45:23 PM
(OOC - Re: Revi's infection... Did we determine if it is a disease or poison? I have spells to cure both but I'm not sure what the final determination from the DM was... I assume that during our trip, Thar'd have time to cast the relevant spell and fix Revi...)
Thar looks at the water and shrugs his shoulders... "Well, if we're going to cross, we might as well go South. That said, is there anyway we can cross on our own right here? It's a bit more secret this way... If we go to the village and cross there, everyone will know what we're doing, including any foes...:"

Rinn here could fly us all over the river, but that sight would likely cause a lot of discussion in the town, and the dwarf would no doubt hear about it. Similarly, I could give everyone here the gift of flight and we could fly over" the half elf considers other options "Rinn or one of my other friends - water elementals for instance - could tow us across, either be in the water ourselves, or a vessel of some kind could be towed."
"Of course, I'd rather stay dry, so I could just teleport us to the other side instead" she adds with a smile "I don't know as much as the rest of you about our foe or destination, but if we need information than the town to the south may have what we seek"

Caedmon reaches into his pack and pull out four glowing horseshoes. He pries the four he has on and puts them back in the pack before replacing them with the glowing horseshoes.
"I can cross the water without assistance now." Caedmon walks out and hovers about 4 inches above the water."

In my opinion, and it is my opinion, changing horseshoes would take a few hours and access to a smithy. Mainly due to having changed horseshoes in real life. now if one set was worn, and the other bought as "slot"less it would be another thing altogether.

Watching Caedmon prepare to change shoes, Lia suspects what he is about to do and politely remarks "As I was saying, it depends on how discrete we wish to be. A centaur-shaped blur across the water may be something of a conversation starter for the locals"
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Saturday March 10th, 2012 3:00:36 PM "If someone can teleport or fly us over, then let's do that..." Thar replies. "That's probably quicker than changing shoes... The longer we wait here, the more attention we'll draw..."

Snafu put one of his paws in the water unenthusiastically. "I have a water walk spell, but it's a bit of a waste. But if you want to cross, it's the ticket. But, I think I'd rather go south to the next town and see what we can learn. But I guess it's Tishe's call. But... too many buts, eh?"
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Monday March 12th, 2012 3:06:53 PM
While the group decides, Thar casts heal disease on Revi and hopefully that'll alleviate the symptoms...

DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Monday March 12th, 2012 7:29:29 PM
The curing removes any "feelings" Revi is getting from the wound caused by the tree, it also seems to make her feel normal, although she still has some of the "lichen" still in her system, same as Snafu does.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Monday March 12th, 2012 7:41:07 PM
Tishe' listens to her packmates and Lia make suggestions until it dawns on her that they are looking to her for a decision.
"We know where we are going and who we are likely to find there. The only thing of going to a bigger town is likely to do is alert Skalipy. So..." and Tishe' lays her plan.
"We stay here the night, talking of marching south to the larger town to use the ferry to cross. In the morning, we will do so, but only for a couple of miles until we are certain that there is no chance of being spotted as we cross the river by magical means."
"Lia, you have offered a 'Teleport' spell, very useful, and we know that both you and Rinn can fly across as well. I can fly on my own with a broom. SO..."
Rinn, would you take Revi and Thar across the river tomorrow morning when we are away from the town?
Tishe' will fly using her Broom of Flying.
Lia can Teleport with the two Taurs; Snafu and Caedmon.
That should get everyone across with only one spell use, without anyone seeing us, and leaving a false trail for anyone trying to trail us.
Lia -- AC21/15/18 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) - CMD21 - HP141/141 [Rinn AC33/10/31 - CMD 38 - HP145/145] Monday March 12th, 2012 8:43:03 PM OOC: Question to DM: How wide is this river?
DM - JC ------- The Warehouse --------- Monday March 12th, 2012 9:12:59 PM
It varies, as wide as 3/4 of a mile to as narrow as 1/2 a mile, it is the main river of the area and the smaller streams and rivers all join it. Near the rivers mouth it breaks down into a delta that is about 4 miles across. This far from the ocean, it is not very fast flowing, but it is a large volume of water and it would take many swim checks of a DC 18 in nature, or you'd be swept along with the rivers flow. To cross swimming at a narrow spot, you'd probably end up about a mile down stream.
(I know it's more info than asked for, but just to give you the idea of what the rivers like)

If you'll permit I'd like to propose an alteration to your proposal: - Tishe' will fly using her Broom of Flying. - Caedmon will use his abundant step. - I will dismiss Rinn for the moment - Revi, Thar and Snafu can teleport over with me, - I will call Rinn back to rejoin us.
That said, if we do this before my evening rest, my offer to teleport everyone still stands. I would then begin preparing my spells for tomorrow"
Revi AC30/15/29 | 148/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) *-5 DEX* Tuesday March 13th, 2012 1:36:36 AM "Sounds good to me, Lia"
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Tuesday March 13th, 2012 9:49:15 AM
Thar agrees with the plan and adds, "If we're short on ways to get across, I can summon an elemental for 11 or 12 rounds to take us across quickly... If we don't need that help, then I'll go with Lia, but I think we have enough ways to get there..."
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Tuesday March 13th, 2012 9:57:27 AM
"The pack-mates lead and I shall follow." The Taur waits for the decision to be made whether they cross tonight or tomorrow.

So, the group makes a camp, sheltered from the breeze which had been steady all afternoon. The evening is mostly calm, although the swooping attack and grabbing of it's target, by an Owl in the near by weeds makes Snafu (who was on watch at the time, just about jump out of his skin. Morning arrives with the sun peeking up over the giant forest to the east and those who were awake could watch the line of light descend down from the peak of Shadow mountain. After a quick bite to eat, the group just needs to decide where to cross the river.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Tuesday March 13th, 2012 9:12:02 PM
Tishe' doesn't want to wait until the morning. Lia speaking of refreshing spells does it. She leads the group down stream until she finds a place a 1/2 mile across that even the far side is out of sight of the town they recently left.
And they get to work.
Lia dismisses Rinn.
Tishe' gets on her Broom of Flying and flies across.
Caedmon uses his abundant step to move across.
Lia meets the two crossers by Teleporting herself, Thar, Revi, and Snafu.
And so, the entire group goes across the river unseen by either town and in the evening. Tishe' then has Caedmon and Thar to locate a campsite out of sight of the river to rest and recover spells for the next morning.
Thar, AC 25, 127/132 Wednesday March 14th, 2012 10:37:26 AM
Finally across the river, Thar nods at Tishe' and starts searching (with Caedmon if he joins in) for a safe, defensible camp. He hasn't been this way in a while, so he looks for game trails and maybe he can find some fresh food for the group's dinner...

Nothing other than Snafu gets his surprise at the owl, happened at night, you just experienced it on the other side of the river. When morning arrives you plan to continue south along the river?
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Thursday March 15th, 2012 5:45:50 PM
in the morning, Tishe' refreshes herself and then uses her Broom to pop up above the trees to see which direction the Mountain is in. Upon coming down, Tishe' points in the direction and looks at Thar and Caedmon.
"Do you think you can find us a trail to take us to the mountain without following the river? The more we hug this river, the better the chances for Skalipy to discover that we are approaching and either ambush or flee."
Depending on the ranger's answer, the group will forge through the woods away from the river, or keep the river in sight but not travel right on the banks.

As her short rest finishes during the night, Lia stands and 'cricks' her neck "I guess being stuck in the same position for a year isn't good for you" she says dryly to Rinn.
Being magically sustained, she doesn't feel the need to sleep or eat as the others may.
As morning arrives, the rest of the party will wake to the smell of a simple breakfast being cooked "Just a small token of appreciation for getting me out of that cell" the halfelf says with a smile. Though it might smell nice, the taste leaves something to be desired.

Tishe' smiles at Lia's breakfast. "Thank you, sweetie, that was very thoughtful." The others already know that around camp, Tishe' helps with just about anything other than cooking, and is very appreciative on anyone attempting such a difficult skill. "If it were up to my skill with a pan, we would be stuck eating ration bars!"

Thar enjoys Lia's breakfast and thanks her for the good meal. After finishing the food and saying his mornign prayers, he says to Caedmon, "Feel like doing some tracking this morning? Let's see if we can find a path that would keep us from Skalipy's prying eyes..."
He'll stay in the deeper woods, focusing on the mountain and avoiding the river passage. Maybe he can find an old game trail that will provide cover but a quick path to their destination... While tracking, he makes sure he's on the watch for any dangers or signs of threats, as well as remaining quiet and stealthy...
Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Friday March 16th, 2012 1:35:28 PM
Revi also thanks Lia for the warm meal and takes a position at the front of the group, but well back of Thar so as to not disturb his tracking and stealthy ways.
DM - JC ------- Riverside --------- Monday March 19th, 2012 5:02:30 PM
About lunch time you've gone far enough down stream that you catch glimpses of the village where the ferries you were told about, it's probably 3/4 of a mile to the rive and the river here is another 2/3 of a mile across, the flow of the river here is extremely slow because of it's width. Taking the chance to view the village from this distance, it seams something is amiss....

Tishe', never really very observant, doesn't pay much attention to the village other than worrying that they have stayed with the river too long. "I think we should get back into the forest and bypass the village.", she suggests.
DM - JC ------- Riverside --------- Tuesday March 20th, 2012 4:37:03 PM
Tishe` makes her thoughts known, wishing they had traveled further inland towards Shadow Mountain. But to do that, the group would've had to start climbing the mountain, just not anywhere near where the map's arrows indicated. With so many eyes examining the ferry town each person notices things that seem out of place. Most notable is that instead of two ferries, only one is visible, the other is no where in sight. The next thing is that the town appears to be deserted, and the village only a days travel away seemed to indicate it was perfectly fine. They seemed to know nothing about this town being in the viewed condition.

That village looks awfully quiet for the middle of the day. No ferry. No farmers or fishermen. Not even kids skipping stones. Where is everybody?" Lia gives a puzzled look to Tishe "Any chance the dwarf is expecting us?"

Thar's not excited about diverting from their travel plans to the mountain, but if there's something amiss in the village, he's honor bound to check it out. He volunteers along with Snafu to go investigate, but he doesn't have any long term magic that would cloak or make him invisible...
If the group agrees, he'll circle around the village, looking for a building or structure close to the tree line that provides some cover. Once he finds it, he'll quietly but quickly dash over, trying to remain unobserved and under as much cover as possible... He'll then scout from area to area, remaining silent and stealthy, trying to see what he can find... This includes new or odd tracks, signs of struggle, blood or signs of combat, etc...
