I wonder up ahead to keep Crosseye company.... "What you doing? What are you looking for? Why do you have such a big axe? Can you shoot an apple off the top of my head with that bow? Why do they call you Crosseye?......"
OOC: I make an Annoyance roll of 2. :)

I feel it's time to bring out the banjo. I carefully take it out, check the strings, and start up a tune as I meander about. "La LA La LA La la, LA La la La la......"
Bonivus (Swindle) AC: 20(T 12 FF 17), CMD: 19; HP: 5/14 Character Sheet Monday August 4th, 2014 2:57:44 PM
Bonivus looks around at his companions. They seem hardly worried about war horns. He stays on guard just in case.
Crosseye (Earl) AC: 17 (T 12 FF 15), CMD: 17;HP 5/11 Character Sheet Monday August 4th, 2014 8:55:41 PM
I continue doing job up front ready for anything. To Mack "I should be able to hit an apple as long as you don't move to much. We will have try someday. About my name that was what grandfather always call me I am guessing it was from when I was young and always having a bow in my hands, shooting everything and never missing. His humor!". I smile brightly of my memories of him. The first I have in along time
Wow, what a night(Jay CoDM) Monday August 4th, 2014 10:04:36 PM
(OOC: As stated in Dan's previous post, heal checks are required for characters. You all should know how this works by now. ;))
The wagon rumbles away from the horns. The horns eventually fade and the wagon rattles on. Boy looks at the parts of the wagon as it rolls on as if he's worried about it's stability. After a few hours, he had begun to forget about it.
The terrain starts changing as well. It grows lusher and more verdant. Animals begin appearing off and on, but more importantly, the air grows cleaner, fresher, less stale. There are also small trees cropping up here and there. Their sizes vary so it does not create a canopy, no real cover.
The dwarves decide 'here' is a nice place to set camp. Has it been that long already?! Sure enough, it's getting on to dinner time. "BOY! Fire. Feed for the horses." He complies.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 19; HP 3/13 Character Sheet Tuesday August 5th, 2014 1:18:30 AM
Atlas finds a decent spot for sleeping and tosses his backpack on the ground to mark it. It is on the North side of the wagon near the front wheel. He takes the time to prepare his meal over the fire that the boy started and then goes to his spot and quietly devours it.
The past 48 hours have taken their toll on him both physically and mentally and it is beginning to show. The rest of the group seems to be getting along fine, so Atlas keeps to himself for a bit. After eating his meal he starts one of the meditation techniques the monks taught him to help clear his mind and help his body rest.
----------------------------- OOC: Sorry, short posts this week. Mid-year reviews are due and I am traveling for a job interview on Friday back in Rochester, NY. Kind of hectic, but I'll still get them in. It just means that Atlas might be a bit subdued ;-)

Now that we have more plant and tree cover, I see if I can find anything else to help with healing. (d20+6 herbalist check of 9)
OOC: I believe we've done the Heal rolls, but haven't had a few questions answered.... can we do long term care while someone is riding in the wagon? Did the healing herbs found aid at all? I believe 24 hours has passed since the last time we got hit points back, but how much of that was spent traveling and how much resting? Here were my rolls for providing long-term care to everyone (from up above): (d20+1 heal check of 15 on Atlas) (d20+1 heal check of 11 on Lilith) (d20+1 heal check of 20 on Bonivus) (d20+1 heal check of 21 on Crosseye) - hey, natural 20! Full Heal? :) Does Atlas, Bonivus, and Crosseye each get 4 points back then, and Lilith and I each get 1 point back for the prior 24 hours?
Bonivus (Swindle) AC: 20(T 12 FF 17), CMD: 19; HP: 5/14 Character Sheet Tuesday August 5th, 2014 1:47:54 PM
Bonivus keeps his armor on for a while as he sets up camp. He starts to think he'll never take it off again after that goblin attack. "From the looks of it we are getting close to this tree place. Am I letting one of you play nursemain with me again tonight or am I 'allowed' to stay up and keep watch."
The minoutaur is trying to make up for the blow his ego took by being laid low by a creature 1/20th his weight.

When we stop and everyone starts to set up camp. I scout the area for any signs of trouble or tracks (Perception check = 17). I think to myself " Boy am I tried I need to rest." I speak out to everyone " I am sorry but I need to get some sleep, even a little will help." SO as soon as I get a chance I find a nice quite place by the wagon to lay out my bedroll and get some much need sleep but I keep my armor on and my axe and bow at my side just in case! As my head hits the ground my eyes close and fast a sleep. The Imagines in my sleep are from the past battle and the deaths.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 19; HP 3/13 Character Sheet d20+2=11 ; Wednesday August 6th, 2014 12:08:18 AM
Atlas opens his eyes and looks around. Everyone seems to have gone about their evening and he feels much better, so he stands up to make the rounds. Part way up he hesitates and his face winces. OK, my thoughts are more clear, but my body still needs some more time. He gingerly finishes standing and walks around the camp. "Mack, thanks for the help with my wound, it is much appreciated."
"Bonivus, thank you, I will take you up on that. My body seems to be struggling to heal with the lack of sleep and travel. Let's let Korbiss and Durbin take the first two watches, then you can pick up the next. Please wake me after you."
"Lilith, that rash is looking much better. How are you feeling?"
"Crosseye, get some sleep, you have earned it."
"Korbiss, Durbin, you mind taking the first two watches tonight so we can get some more rest? It seems that these wounds are going to take some time to heal. Bonivus will follow you, so please wake him when ready."
Atlas walks by the boy and gives him a stern look. He reaches out to rub the boy's hair to show that he's playing, but decides against it after the look he gets back. With that, Atlas limps back to his backpack, pulls out his bedroll and gets his stuff settled. He takes one last look out to the perimeter to make sure that everything is quiet, then lays down to sleep until he is called for watch duty. He is out before his head hits his backpack.
Another night(Jay CoDM) Wednesday August 6th, 2014 2:11:43 AM
Scouting uncovers nothing that might bring harm to the party, or at least, intends them harm. (Anyone have tracking?)
If the night goes without a hitch, healing will continue. But what you all need is days, not hours. The dwarves can attend to healing you guys. Crosseye and Atlas have bypassed any real healing to help the group, so the dwarves plan to help them.
Boy has been told to watch again tonight.
(OOC: Sorry for the late post. Things got busy.)

If someone hasn't started a fire already, I gather some wood and get a fire going. Looking around, it seems there is no need for any music tonight. Everyone is pretty wore out.
I offer to take an extra watch tonight. There are others in far more need of the sleep then I. I try to stay stealthy, also, as I keep watch. (d20+7 perception check of 23) (d20+9 stealth check of 19)

Bonivus nearly collapses at camp once he gets out of his armor. But he insists that you wake him for last watch.

Lilith is not too perceptive, and will only take a watch if necessary. Otherwise, she enjoys a full night's rest and wakes up ready to go.

If there happens to be any shaving cream and a feather handy, I put shaving cream in Atlas's hand, and tickle his nose with the feather.
If not, I continue scanning the area, attempting to switch my vision to detect heat only, then radiation sources, and finally attempting to shoot heat out of my eyes to start the nearest dead branch on fire. (d20 roll of 2... any modifiers?)
OOC: our co-DM jumped games and our real DM is sick or something?
End of the Road Dan K Friday August 8th, 2014 5:18:46 PM
OoC: This shall not happen again friends.
The group stops the wagon and camps for the night. Tracks are searched for in the immediate area and none of note are found. Small tracks perhaps belonging to a fox and another set to a raccoon are the only things Crosseye finds. It was not possible to ride in the wagon in anyway that could allow someone to rest. Breaks could be taken while perched on some of the supply chests and gear, but other than getting off your feet, it helped little.
A fire is started and now that some trees are more abundant, finding wood worth burning is a much easier task.
Korbiss and Durbin agree to take the first two, 4 hour watches, but remind the party that they are not trained warriors. They do, however know how to yell and scream to wake the rest of you. The Boy is also put on watch with them. The party therefore tries to get some more real rest. 8 complete hours worth. Mack stays up tending to the groups wounds. (d20+1 heal check of 15 on Atlas) - 2 HP back (d20+1 heal check of 11 on Lilith) - 1 HP back (d20+1 heal check of 20 on Bonivus) - 2 HP back (d20+1 heal check of 21 on Crosseye) - 2 HP back
Mack notes as the second of Warrd's moons heads to the horizon, indicating that Sunrise is about an hour away, that the Boy is sound asleep. Korbin sits next to him, stroking the hair on his head absently as he gazes northward for trouble. Durbin is out by the fire where he has been standing all night. Other than a wolf howl, well probably a wolf howl, the night is peaceful. The horns from earlier in the day were not heard again and nothing ever showed itself to be a possible source of the call. None of the goblins from before had horns on them and so it seems likely some other creatures of the Red Hills were about. Fortunately, they seemed to be about elsewhere.
Sunrise splashes light across the land and with it the promise of new life. The party breaks camp and are on the road again in a couple hours.
"We should be home free Durbin" Korbis says cheerfully. "Can almost see the Tree, bet we will in less than an hour!" Korbis frowns, "You're an idiot. That terr won't be in view til well after high sun" "10 gp and all the ale I can drink tonight says you're wrong Durbin." "I'll take your money" Korbiss looks for anyone in the party walking along "Hey I need a witness. We see the tree before high sun and I pay Durbin 10 gold and for all his ale tonight. If not, he's paying me."
quick time line. After the goblin attack, the party spent 1 day and 1 night staying put. Heal checks and such occurred and folks got HP Party traveled 1 day. no HP gained Party rested 1 night Mack provided care, and everyone Except Mack gained HP Party is now on the road again

Lilith chuckles and agrees to be the witness. "I'm excited to see who gets to be embarrassed here," she admits with a grin, falling into the march the group has started.

I take a power nap in the wagon when I get a chance. Then, I pull out the banjo and play a little tune as we travel towards the tree.

I wake up in the morning starch out my arm and let out a big yawn. I fell so much better now full of energy and refreshed. boy I need that sleep. I say out the group " Thanks I need that. I fell like I can take on the world now!' with a big smile on my face.
After having a good breakfast, I take my postion at the front looking for and things out of place. (tracks, danger etc) and start out with the wagon. I sound of Mack's banjo is quite nice to here.

Atlas thanks the Dwarves for the healing and takes a position on the right of the wagon as they get going for the afternoon. His limp is getting better.
-------------------------------- OOC: Jut got back in from my flight. Tough weekend with flights, interviews and lack of sleep. I should be back on track Monday night.
Welcome to the DMs! I'm not caught up on the emails, but I know there was a change. I will get caught up.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 15; HP 6/9 Character Sheet Monday August 11th, 2014 12:16:25 PM
I practice making some bird noises. I pick up the nearest cool-looking stick, and peal the bark off of it as we walk.
OOC: How we doing on food and water? I've been making the assumption that we've been living off of the wagon supplies, but wasn't sure.
Bonivus (Swindle) AC: 20(T 12 FF 17), CMD: 19; HP: 7/14 Character Sheet Monday August 11th, 2014 3:06:02 PM
Bonivus grabs a bit of breakfast and straps on his armor again. "At least if we are within sight of the Tree then maybe the road will be safe. The fist better pay out a bonus or at least a thank you for going on a side mission when all we signed up for was a routine caravan escort."
He is unusually ornery this morning. no doubt marching all day in armor and then sleeping on the ground is not the prescribed treatment for a leg wound.
Winning Bets - Co DM Dan K Monday August 11th, 2014 5:12:48 PM
Eyes are peeled for the most part, but with the eminent threat over it can be hard to concentrate. Or perhaps the road is taking its toll. Lilith chuckles a bit and agrees to be the witness to the bet between Korbiss and Durbin. Korbiss promptly socks Durbin in the shoulder. "You're in for it now you cheap double taker. Thought I'd forget the witness now didn't you bearded fat elfish girl." In response, Durbin cracks the reigns and the horses bolt forward sending Korbiss over his backside and into the flat of the wagon. "Oh we'll be seeing the Tree by midday you fool!" he calls and cracks the reigns again
Mack is bounced from his nap as the horses pull the wagon at what is now a gallop and by the fact that Korbiss has just landed on him. Boy, who is also in back, just tries to make himself small and get out of the way. "CHEATER!" Korbiss thunders as he tries to get to his feet. "By you're witless grandfather you're a cheater!"
The wagon blasts ahead at full speed. The tracks and signs of small animals that might have been of interest, Coyote, fox, wolf, raccoon and deer are all purged from anyone's mind. The task now is to try and keep the wagon at least in sight.
The party has little choice, but to run after Durbin and the wagon he is driving like a mad man. Fortunately you do not have to run far. At the insult to his grandfather, Durbin lets go of the reigns and climbs into the back to give Korbiss a piece of his mind and several helpings of his fists.
Boy climbs past the now brawling dwarfs and grabs the reigns, pulling the horses to a stop. Crosseye, Bonivus, Atlas and Lilith arrive at the end of the dwarfs aggressive negotiations.
"Not my fault you didn't lay out all the conditions Korbiss." Durbin says as he climbs out to help the other dwarf to his feet.
Korbiss gets back into the wagon. Durbin apologizes to you all for having to go through all that. As he turns about, just over the horizon can clearly be seen the great green canopy of a tree. Even though it must still be nearly 10 miles away, the lush canopy can easily be seen.
Korbis turns to Lilith, "Its nearly noon now, if he hadn't flagged the horses we wouldn't be seeing that Tree" Durbin counters "Course we would, explain to the poor sport, he lost and has to pay up"
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 19; HP 5/13 Character Sheet Monday August 11th, 2014 10:57:10 PM
Atlas takes a moment catch his breath and rubs at the wound on his leg. It is healing, but not nearly as fast as he would like.
"Korbiss, Durbin, I appreciate your bet, I surely do. However, there's still a few of us that wouldn't mind taking our time wrapping up this trip. Another sprint like that and I might not be making it to the Tree. Lilith, call the bet for us would you, then let's get going at a reasonable pace. Everyone all right with that?"
Atlas waits for the group to catch their breath, Lilith to settle the bet, and for Korbiss and Durbin to agree. When the group gets going again he takes up his spot on the North side of the wagon again.
Lilith Parrim AC: 17 (T 13 FF 13), CMD: 10; HP: 6/12 Character Sheet (Ian M. covering for Hayley) Tuesday August 12th, 2014 11:21:07 AM "Euhh..." Lilith holds up her hands defensively. "I only agreed to be a witness, boys, not a judge. Settle your own argument. I agree with Atlas, we should just focus on getting to the tree."
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 15; HP 6/9 Character Sheet Tuesday August 12th, 2014 1:59:54 PM
I go to the back of the wagon for a moment, feeling like I'm going to be sick from the quick bumpy ride... and a dwarf landing on me. Once I feel a little better, I check to make sure my banjo is ok, and try to get back to a quick nap.
The Tree of Parting - Co DM Dan K Tuesday August 12th, 2014 11:45:49 PM
Korbis and Durbin grumble quite a bit at Lilith's refusal to settle to the bet, but they are not willing to push the matter either. Instead they set the wagon off again and take it upon themselves to argue about who won the bet for what could be the reminder of the trip. Mack locates his banjo, quite unharmed by the jaunt in the back of the wagon
As the next few hours move by, the land to the north takes on the greatest change. instead of endless plains to the Red Hills, single and small copse trees and lush grasses lead to a sizable track of woods. Durbin and Korbis both stop their 3 hour long argument to cast an uneasy eye towards it. "I've heard it is part of the Culverwood, makes it a dangerous place." Durbin says aloud "Agreed." adds Korbis
The two soon resume the discussion of the loser of the bet and the wagon moves on. The road splits and the wagon turns north towards an impossibly large tree in the distance.
The Tree of Parting looms ahead of you as late afternoon approaches. Reaching higher than any castle spire you have ever seen. Its great canopy stretches out and seems to help support the sky itself. You can see lights, torches, magic or lanterns is hard to tell, but they shine about the upper branches. As the party draws closer, you begin to make out structures built and blended artfully into the great boughs.
About the base are dozens of the wagons from the caravan and nearly 100 beast of burden. People from the caravan are everywhere, music cascades from above. Now that you are here you can see the lights you noticed to be Fairie Fire. Lighting branches, boughs, leaves and stair rails in a myriad of colors. Singing can be heard from above as well as about the base of the tree. A great celebration is in full swing and despite the great numbers of of people, still the tree dwarfs you all.
A large ghostly visage of a clean shaven man in his late thirties to early forties floats about 10' above the ground. His hair pulled back into a long ponytail. He wears a pair of sparkling earrings and a necklace of various charms. A trio of geometric cut gems float about his head as well. He appears to be wearing a tunic with a vestment or mantle across his shoulders. At the mid chest, the image falls into a smoky vapor trailing down to a censor upon the ground. The image contains no color other than shades of blue. Turning slightly to note your approach, he smiles and greets you warmly. "Welcome to The Tree of Parting and Chancers Club Ball."

After catching up the wagon and catching my breath. "What was that about? A bet, we'll it was a nice little jog." I say as I stretch out my legs. Upon looking up and seeing the top of a great giant tree "Is that it? The great tree?" showing my innocents of the world of Woldain.

After the wagon settles Atlas glances down at himself and smirks. With a still noticeable limp, he steps up to the magical bust, "I'm sorry, but I seem to have forgotten my ball attire, not to mention this wound will likely set my rhythm off while dancing. Are you only here for the ball, or could we ask you some questions?"

I begin climbing.
After about 5 minutes, I remember how tired I am, and stop. ;) I take a deep breath, and look around to see if there is anything exciting to see. Any birds, butterflies, pegasi, etc., fluttering about?

The Tree of Parting - Co DM Dan K Wednesday August 13th, 2014 8:16:39 PM
As some take in this natural wonder of the Wold, The Tree of Parting, Atlas steps up to the magical bust. It makes no response other than to welcome you. It apparently is a static greeting only. Mack begins to try ad make his way towards the trunk and one of the great staircases that hang from above. Before Mack gets too far. Mack does notice that there seem to be games and gambling at this Chancers Club Ball as well
Coming to the party are several men wearing the insignia of The Mailed Fist. One holds a hand up and shouts for your attention as well as waves another to head up the stairs across the crowd. "You made it!" he calls, surprise and happiness both in his voice. He and two others cut their way through the crowd and are upon you in a few moments. "By Alemi and the gods you made it" He grasps any extending arm he can and shakes it vigorously.
Others in the party at ground level begin to circulate the story that the presumed dead men of the wagon left behind were in fact very much alive. Shouts of Huzzah! Hail! and Prost! erupt about the area.
Noting you are hurt, a call for a healer also is taken up. "For the Valiant of the Fist, A Healer!"
"When you feel up to it," the man from The Mailed Fists shouts over the roar of the crowd, "You need to get to TreeTops Inn and see Captain VonKlempt" His arm pointing skyward nearly 500' to a building in the great tree.

Caius, peering over the gathering crowd, observed the returning group that had once been separated from the main caravan. They are alive, he thinks. Yes, there is balance in all things. Had they not returned... No. He would not let his mind wander that path. Gargul demanded balance, and lives unnecessarily wasted on frivolous appointments would have most certainly demanded a sacrifice. But whose? No matter. They have returned. And no rebalancing is called for. "I am a healer," he calls. "And I have been waiting for your return." As the crowd parts, Caius bows his head. "My name is Caius Graycloak. I serve Gargul, he of the book and staff. Please -- if you will allow it -- I humbly offer my services to you."

Caius, hearing the name, VonKlempt , searches his mind for any recollections that might be useful. (Knowledge, History: 1d20 = 1, + 6 = 7)
DM Dan k. Welcome to the die roller. :) VonKlempt is the name of the captain in charge of the caravan
Crosseye (Earl) AC: 17 (T 12 FF 15), CMD: 17;HP 8/11 Character Sheet Thursday August 14th, 2014 1:23:39 PM "Wow now that's a tree!" I exclaim as we approach, The Tree of Parting. "We made it!" I thank everyone of the group. "Without you all we would never have made it. I think we all owe our lives to each other. We did work good together as a unit!"
"Atlas we should sell off the treasure if we can and divide up the gold with everyone, I know we could use the money to resupply and pick up some much need equipment (healing kits, potions) and depending on how much we get even see if we could find or pick up some magic items to help us in future. We need to find the shops?"
When the human approaches I wonder who he is, then he declares himself as a healer and gives his name. I stratch out my hand in greeting "Well met Caius. I am Crosseye and I think we all could use the service of a healer. We did do as best we could with our knowledge but will not be as skill as one like you! Thank you."
" Atlas we could use a skill healing in out little group for any future adventure or tasks we should try to in list him to out group?"
To the group " The man from The Mailed Fists said we need to see Captain VanKlempt, I think we should go report in to him asap."
To Caius " We need to report in first then I am all yours for you healing, You can come with us if you like"
With that I look at the rest of the group and start the track up to where the man pointed the Captain was, The TreeTops Inn.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 15; HP 6/9 Character Sheet Thursday August 14th, 2014 7:16:03 PM "Hi Caius! Glad to have your services. I think most of us could use a little healing."
Turning to the rest of the group... "Sounds like we have a plan... healing, divvying up treasure, going to see the Captain, and seeing what we can purchase here. A healing kit is definitely on the top of my list."
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 19; HP 5/13 Character Sheet Thursday August 14th, 2014 8:09:32 PM
A feeling of pride overwhelms Atlas. He didn't really contemplate what would happen when they arrived at the Tree. Healing and finding a bed to rest, those were the only thoughts on his mind. The welcome from the Mailed Fists and others in the crowd left him speechless for a moment.
Once he caught himself, Atlas shakes the man's hand and gives him a big smile and words of gratitude. He then turns to Caius and responds, "Caius, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Please see to the others first. If you find that you have the energy when they are healed then I would welcome your god's touch.
Turning to Crosseye, "I couldn't have said it better myself. Would you and Lilith mind dividing up the gold and collecting the loot that anyone is willing to part with? We'll hit the shops together, as I'm sure we could all use some supplies. Why don't we head up and see the Captain once you have it sorted and we'll get the run down from him on what the best shops for the Mailed Fists are. I'm sure he'll want us prepped if we're continuing the journey. Then again, we should probably talk about that as a group. I don't know what everyone's plans are."
Caius Graycloak (BenPeters) AC: 13 (T: 10 FF: 13), CMD: 12; HP: 10/10 Character Sheet Thursday August 14th, 2014 9:36:54 PM "Yes," Caius says, looking up at the tree towering over them. "Let us attend Captain VanKlempt first, but after," he turns to Atlas, recognizing him as the group's leader, "I shall heal you with what powers I have and according to Gargul's will." ----- Perhaps it is these adventurers, Caius thinks. Perhaps they are the reason for my return? He contemplates Crosseye, Mack, Lilith and then Atlas. Am I so grim? Can I not even manager a simple human conversation, a living dialogue? Will they accept that? Will they accept me? Then, as if speaking to someone else, Is this your will? It must be. But what is certainty but imbalanced confidence? The gray, Lord, the gray. That is where I must live.
Lilith Parrim AC: 17 (T 13 FF 13), CMD: 10; HP: 6/12Character Sheet Thursday August 14th, 2014 11:51:59 PM
Lilith smirks and nod her head "I'd gladly help with the gold" her tail wags happily before she turns to Caius "As you may have guessed, I am Lilith. Lilith Parrim." she extends one hand towards him.
