Emrys waits to see if anything can be found to identify the halfling before he considers casting a divination or two. He tries to recall how the halfling acted, the words he said, how he said them and attempts to sense his motives postmortem. (Sense Motive: 16, sigh!)
He will also help with trying to find items on the halfling, like his bow and arrows, that might help identify him (Perception: 22, sigh!).
IF all else fails, Emrys sighs deeply, because he does not enjoy what he is about to do. Again, a spectral blade appears in his hand and it quickly vanishes as soon as he swipes it across his neck. It does no visible wound to Emrys, but he becomes pale from the loss of vitality.
(Casting Surrender Blood, deals -15 hp to Emrys, +3 to Caster level of next spell.)
Emrys then lays his hands on the hobbit and asks, "Who was this person and what where his plans with the shadow?" His eyes immediately turn white as the magic takes over. An expression of euphoria flashes across his face as he receives his vision.
(Casting Vision, empowered by Surrender Blood. Caster Level Check: 18, natural 1 !!!!!! I'm sick to death of this dice roller. Hero Point Reroll: 35.
Afterwards, the stress of the Vision causes Emrys to become fatigued.

ooc: Channel energy three times, 89 hp healed.
Baslim walks over and surveys the fallen foes. The treants get only a shake of his head, but the halfling merits and heavy sigh. "It is a shame to see a member of the Noble Races fall to darkness. His heart could not be swayed. We can search him for anything that will aid in our mission, then I will bury him."
Lanliss Drakeguard (Michael A) HP69/98 AC:26 touch:19 flat:18 cmd:28 Monday October 23rd, 2017 6:11:29 AM
Lanliss gets close to Emrys after the ritual waiting to know what happened to the poor halfling. I just can't believe his doings, Lanliss says. Someone or something must have corrupted his soul or made him confused in some way. Halflings don't go the evil path very often.
DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Monday October 23rd, 2017 2:19:14 PM Edson checks on Emrys condition after the battle but is reassured that the appearance changes were temporary and cosmetic.
Velarin congratulates Brom and Barratore on their rolls after the disappointment of fighting swarms as Emrys dismisses his ‘troops’.
Barratore [/b and [b Brom question if the druid was the cause of the shadow-stuff melding with forest life.
Shepherd gathers the team and heals them in mass.
The group examines the body of the halfling finding that he has amassed a sizable amount of gear in his life in the woods. Though searching and casting detect magic the group finds the following gear but sadly a great deal of it is small in size. You can also see that if not for Emrys action this could have been a difficult battle.
+1 shock ironwood longbow (small) +2 Ironwood Dagger (small) +1 Greater electric resistance ironwood breastplate (small) +4 Natural Armor Amulet Bracers of archery, greater Feather Token Wand of Owl's Wisdom Pearl of Power, 6th level Pearl of Power, 3rd level
You also discover that, while not fully shadow, the druids right hand and arm have begun to turn.
Emrys then attempts to find out more about the little halfling that he choked to death. He slashes himself again before casting a spell.
Emrys Highlight to display spoiler: { You feel your perspective shift and you see the halfling, dressed as you had seen him, tending a damaged tree and quickly thereafter hear the rumble of the volcano that brought you back into this plane. He watches objects growing closer despite the improbable distance and finally you can see that it is a large chunk of shadow-stuff.
The druid casts a spell and touches the very hot shadow stuff but it reacts oddly with his nature magic and a small amount sticks to his hand.
The druid has found a squirrel that has been infected by the shadow stuff and appears to be speaking with it. Somehow you know he has divined the creature is more then it was but also the same. It appears he sees nothing amiss. He looks at his hand and shadow is slowly spreading.
More creatures have been brought to the shadow-stuff by the druid.The druid stands by a treant that has been infected and is concerned about the change, he wants, no needs, to understand. It is also happening to him but very very slowly. }
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac16 hp 57/57. rituals: ward, sharing. Monday October 23rd, 2017 11:12:57 PM
With the vision having ended, Emrys finds himself heavily fatigued, covered in sweat and taking heavy breaths. After a short moment, he catches his breath and tells the druid's story.
"Oh what a horrible tragedy! He didn't willingly become evil ... the shadow infected him. He found a piece of the shadow the night the Glitterox erupted. He touched it, first with magic and then his hand ... it corrupted him ... changed him to this ... against his will! He was a good steward to this forest ... until shadow fell. This may only be the beginning!"
Baslim's healing energy washes over him like a warm breeze and the Bloodwitch is quite thankful, but it doesn't cure the sorrow he feels.

Barratore's brow furrows and he snorts loudly upon hearing what Emrys' spell revealed. "We know the Shadow Lord was working with someone and we know that ogre is involved as well. We should put our energies towards learning who and where they are and destroy them"
Barratore is not particularly interested in any of the magic items. The funds could be used to fuel the parties needs in a greater way than him wielding any of it.
"Are we at a dead end at the moment then about this Shadow stuff and the extent of the damage caused? can anyone cast a spell to learn about the woods and natural wold about us? We cannot let evil fester in the woods, else it will corrupt the land itself."
Brom the Barbarian - Rich P; AC: 26 (T 14, FF 26, Raged 24), CMD: 35 (38 Raged); HP: 165 (143/207 raged); DR 3/- (6/- raged) Tuesday October 24th, 2017 11:45:37 AM
Brom seconds Barratore's thought. "Also, is there anyway to cleanse the corruption? Direct light made the stuff disappear, would the same work on shadow infected plants and animals?"
"I'll take that necklace." He says.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 88/88, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Tuesday October 24th, 2017 12:54:48 PM
(ooc: I will pass on the items, preferring to save up some cash for the future.)
"There is much to learn still. Both swarms were in the daylight, as were parts of the treants, more than likely, so I believe it safe to say that exposing the infected to daylight will not remove the effect except perhaps with long term exposure or something similar."
"We don't know how many things are infected, or what happens to them in the long term, but it's likely there are more out here somewhere. If another like the halfling were to become infected, they could theoretically use the stone to infect others and create a shadow army. We need to know more. I have no spells able to locate the two fiends we seek, or learn more of the extent of this infection. Emrys, your powers appear to have changed. Is this something you can do? Shepherd?"
DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Tuesday October 24th, 2017 5:03:52 PM Emrys reacts to the tale (in exactly the way the DM had hoped) and relays it to the group.
Barratore expresses concerns about the Shadow Lord and thinks they should delve deeper into the oger that was helping him.
Brom and Shepherd think about destroying the shards of darkness but looking at the treants they can see that as sun light strikes their dead bodies the shadow recedes. It could be assumed that, at least, the shadow-stuff here will be cleaned up by nature.
Brom, Shepherd and Edson express interest in the amulet and will have to come to an agreement. Shepherd is also interested in one of the magic pearls.
With many paths open the party is free to go where they will.

"I suggest a pull back to the farm we visited before if we are able to look into things magically. If not, we should stay out here and get a feel for what else may go bump in the night. I will take an aerial overview of the area, and see if there is something worth investigating within sight."

"I have several powerful divinations. It should be possible to Scry the whereabouts of these fiends. The more information we have on them the better my chances. If I had my entire coven assisting me, it would improve our changes even more ... but that would require returning home. If we all agree, I can send us home with a simple Word (of Recall)."
Edson Wednesday October 25th, 2017 11:30:37 AM
" Its no big deal, if either of you want the amulet, take it. " Edson says.
The elf still scans around, looking for any more evidence of the shadow stuff.

DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Wednesday October 25th, 2017 3:27:31 PM Velarin suggest the group pull back to the farm.
Edson and Brom have second thouths on the amulet.
Edson looks for more shadow-stuff but does not find any and what was in the defeated beings seems to be dissipating when sunlight hits it.
Shepherd needs time to rest to prepare spells and Emrys would need his coven to peform strong divinations.
Lanliss is ready to go home.
As the group debates more and more of the shadow-stuff vanishes. If anything is moved into sunlight it slowly cleanses itself. The surrounding vegetation seems free of the blight.
No more of the shadowy animals are visible in the vicinity.
Having gathered what they can there seems to be three suggestions on where to go.
{ooc: not a GM stall. This is open world and no one suggestion seems to have gained a lot of momentum}

As a hole is being dug for the druid's grave, Emrys will place a special pine cone in his hands of the hobbit and offers a short prayer to the Powers of Culverwood. "May you become one with the Great Root."
He recalls from his Vision something he overlooked. "The druid spoke to a squirrel ... possibly his animal companion. I think it was infected too." He looks around to see if he can spot a squirrel intently watching them (Perception: 25). "We deeply regret your loss, little one," he says loudly in the general direction of the overgrowth. Emrys silently hopes the magical creature can understand what he had said.
Once everything is squared away, and if there is a consensus to return home ... he will gather everyone in close, instruct them to place a hand on each other and he will invoke the Word of Recall. They instantly teleport back to their Manor House.

Brom digs a grave for the halfling. Once done he says a small prayer noting things like honor and valor and things Brom thinks are appropriate for a prayer.
Before Emrys teleports the group, he says. "Let's head back to the farmhouse first and make sure they don't have anymore bug problems. Since they're why we're out here."
As far as the amulet goes if Shephard and Edson end up passing on it, he will take it. Otherwise, he suggests one of them take it.

I agree with Brom. Let us return to the farmhouse, and if all is well, then return home to begin more investigation into numerous matters.

Barratore agrees as well. He says a few words of parting to the Druids grave and asks Imod to watch over his soul
Barratore heads back to the farmhouse. From there, they could poof home and Emrys could get to work.
Shepherd Baslim (Tanner) HP 143 -- AC 14/10/14 -- F+17 R+9 W+23 -- CMD 16 Wednesday October 25th, 2017 10:44:56 PM
Baslim agrees on returning to the farmhouse. He is not pushy in trying to claim the amulet. The Light does not look favorably on greed or contention, but he would like it nonetheless if no one else has a claim.
DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Thursday October 26th, 2017 3:49:00 PM Emrys calls for the squirrel and amazingly a small, naturally grey, squirrel pokes his head out. He chitters at Emrys and if a squirrel can sound happy it does. If it had been shadow-touched it seems to be better, or it may be a different squirrel.
Brom. Velarin, Barratore and Shepherd prefer to head to the farm house instead of using Word of Recall so that thought carries the day. After buying the body of the halfling they head back.
During your travels you do not see any more shadow-stuff infected animals of insects. Passing the sight of the second swarm battle you find the husks of the insects but can see the sun has done its work and they appear normal. Even normal if living they would have most likely attacked but in death they are at least not tainted with shadow-stuff.
The walk back to the farmhouse will take a few hours more than the day has left to give. You can push though or continue into the night.
Edson Thursday October 26th, 2017 6:38:01 PM

Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac16 hp 57/57. rituals: ward, sharing. Friday October 27th, 2017 11:22:33 AM
Emrys thinks it an excellent idea to head back to the farm and check on the family. He leaves a little food for the squirrel before they depart. Who knows if this is the Druid's animal companion, it's the least he could do. Daemon looks at the squirrel with a different perspective, but he chooses not to anger his master. Besides he was still good for a few more days until he needed to eat again.
DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Friday October 27th, 2017 1:39:30 PM
On the journey the woods sounds normal and there is no further sign of shadow-stuff infection. As the sun goes down the sounds of the forest change, you can hear the occasional owl or larger nocturnal creature move. Fortunately, probably mostly for them, they leave the group alone.
The group pushes though and arrives at the farm a couple of hours after dark. Across the field you see a fairly normal view of a farm at night. A slight waft of smoke rises from the chimney and you can see one small candle burning. Having been in the house you know there is a table by the window, most likely someone is still up.
As you approach you step on the husks of dead bugs, it would appear someone has moved them into a pile. Any examination can show that the shadow-taint is gone form the husks.
Approaching the building you can see movement and then the face of the little girl Leslie in the window. She smiles, and waves then puts her finger to her lips telling you to be quiet as she opens the door to let you in with a smile that gets wider when she see Velarin again.
“My parents are asleep upstairs. Should I wake them? I cleaned up the bugs as best I could but my brother though it was stupid. They were only a little scary at first.”
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 88/88, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Friday October 27th, 2017 4:51:29 PM
Velarin, while happy to see that Leslie is well, immediately gets a very odd feeling upon hearing her welcome. His something not right indicator has activated "Perhaps we have been doing this too long, and have seen too much, but I have a feeling that something is not right here. Would a couple of you be so kind as to go upstairs and check on or awaken the parents?"
"Leslie, how long have your parents been asleep? Where is your brother? What did your parents have to say about sweeping the bugs, and what has happened since we left? Have you seen any weird rocks around?"

Lanliss is wary of the situation. He kneels down near Leslie and asks her So your mom and dad are asleep ? After getting some answers from her for whatever the group ask her. He raises up slowly as if considering his move. He turns his back to her and quickly motions to the group. He waves his hand up letting them knows someone needs to go up. He will proceed with caution walking with nimble feet to stay stealthy. He goes up himself unless something more urgent is happening with Leslie brother.

While the others talk to the little girl, he gives Barratore a nod in one direction before moving off. He makes a once 'round the house looking for anything odd. He hopes that the implications of V's statement are groundless, but being seasoned he has learned to be clear an area before letting your guard down.
If the house checks out, he will move out to check any out buildings or livestock.

DM Ryan | Tactical Maps and Artwork Monday October 30th, 2017 3:19:50 PM
Arriving at night a few of the members of the party are concerned but there is nothing amiss. Lanliss sneaks upstairs and checks the rooms and finds that all is well. The brother and parents are indeed asleep. Brom’s search of the house also turns up nothing out of the ordinary.
Leslie answers Velarin’s questions truthfully thinking they are playing some game and wanting to show how smart she is for her age.
“They have not been asleep long, I was thinking about what happened the other day and couldn’t sleep it was just so exciting. Bolts of fire and friendly bugs fighting the bad ones. I came back out to get a snack. Little Lance is sleeping in our room as far as I know. He sleeps like a big old log most of the time and I don’t think he thinks much.”
“They didn’t mind me sweeping up the bugs I don’t think. I mean, well, umm… I didn’t really ask and they were busy. I am not in trouble am I, don’t tell on me. I was brave.”
“Dad is running to Magpie Crossing in the morning, so he needs his sleep. Hey you should go with him so he can tell them what a hero you are.”
[ooc: did not mean to throw out a red herring folks. I did not anticipate a sleeping family being a red flag though in retrospect it would have been a nice chance for a story element.]
In the morning the family wakes happy to see the group returned but sad to hear about the druid and the other dead halfling. Marilyn comments that the druid often had another halfling that he was seen with, someone who enjoyed time in the woods, and that it was probably him.
Lance, as Leslie suggested, positively insists that the group accompany him back to Magpie Crossing. He needs to pick up some supplies and would be glad for the company. He also points out that he wants to be sure you get the praise you deserve for the service you rendered.
“I would be honored if you would accompany me back to Magpie Crossing. I am sure you can find a faster trip then that with a farmer and his wagon, I understand if you want to do that, but the company would be appreciated. Also, people should know of the good you did for my family.”
[ooc: Free to ask other questions but unless there is a real objection the journey is without incident.]

V smiles at Leslie after learning that all is well. "You are not in trouble, but you are not likely allowed to be outside alone at night. Am I correct? I will say nothing of the matter, but there could still be a shadow thing or two wandering about somewhere in the woods, so be smart regarding your safety."
Responding to the farmer. " I believe several of us have matters to look into that are pressing in nature, and while praise is not what we wish for, it seems you would be safer in our company, just in case a few more of these shadow creatures are out there. Emrys, do you want to wind walk yourself, Shepard, and a couple others and begin your investigations? And those who wish for a hike can remain with me? We can be shortly behind you. If you are able to learn a name and a little information on those we seek, I could cast a legend lie to learn more."

Barratore wakes teh next day, still unsure why some of his companions got all excited when Leslie was up and the parents were asleep. 'Can't sneak out if you try before your parents go to bed and they wont go to bed until you do.' That was his cousin's mantra and thus he and Barratore always went to bed early. He breaks from the memory and nods to Lance. "I'll walk with Lance, you all poof back and get started. i got nothing to lend on that."
Barratore walks in silence. Small talk is not his thing and his brain simply does not engage in that way. He simply walks along. If Lance engages him, he answers as long as the conversation does not get too boring.
Lanliss Drakeguard (Michael A) HP69/98 AC:26 touch:19 flat:18 cmd:28 Monday October 30th, 2017 9:22:19 PM
Lanliss will escort Lance as well.

I think the company will be great and besides, Brom here can handle a lot so don't worry , he adds, hoping he didn't scare Lance.
Hopefully it will be a short nice trip, Lanliss thinks to himself.

He waits for each person who wishes to go on ahead and then says the Word of Recall. A scent of evergreen fills the area as leaves get whipped up into the air by a sudden breeze. Then immediately the winds calm and peace returns ... Emrys and his travel companions are gone ... only a circle of mushrooms remain.
Emrys appears on the grounds of the manor house. Several among his coven are already waiting for him. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We have need to prepare ... chop chop!"
