When he wakes Neshi, recalls information he had heard about the scab and teleporting, and then shakes his head as he makes his final preparations and then joins the others for their jaunt to the scab. When he gets down there he hears Osul sharing the information and just nods along .

Armand will use one of his spell slots for a Windwalk spell. "Well I will cover one of the windwalk spells. I still say lets start out heading north by normal travel just to let everyone at the Tree know we are leaving. And then maybe teleport to the edge of where we teleported from Evenoak last time. We can spy around a bit and I think there's a gold mine supposed to be in that area, and you know how these white goddess clerics love the gold. If nothing comes of it we can then head to the Scab. Though without some leads, it's a big area, and I doubt there's any road signs saying White Goddess This way."

Upon hearing 'Osul's summary he nods. "Thank you for the information on that. We should be careful when dealing with powers."

PS DM's we have been to the Scab before. We had to help a surface Drow with some house politics. She then had her house become a trading partner with the Tree. It was never specified where in the Scab her enclave was located though. Volume 8, Along Came a Spider

DM Steven - Windwalk it is then 
Wednesday October 13th, 2021 7:17:00 PM

The Wardens slowy come to a consensus. They will travel North using some windwalk spells and trying to pinpoint this so called Dragon as they go. You're best estimate thanks to Trellus's Divination is that they need to travel somewhere North of Dragon Bay.

'Osul shares some insights on the Scab and how to survive them. Yurr'Neshi prepares as good as possible.
Armand also prepares and makes sure to inform the Council and a few others of the Wardens new quest.
Trellus feels unsecure of their heading but none the less he goes along.

Then Elyngael tries to remember if someone in the village of Evenoak said something about a Rider having more information?!

Hmmm... an inspiring thought... worth the detour?!?

Moridark nods in agreement with 'Osul. The mage takes the time to memorize his spells, and casts an extended mage armor. The mage takes a few minutes, and reviews the maps they found. "Well i guess I am as ready as I can be. I know you said scrying did not work before but Ihave memorized locate creature twice just in case."

Monday October 18th, 2021 3:03:18 AM

Each of the Wardens prepares for the journey north. The Scab are a dangerous place and not knowing where exactly you have to find this White Goddess makes it even more dangerous.

Moridark studies some maps and prepares spells that will help him located creatures.

Armand is eager to go and thinks it might be interesting to wal by those guys that were reported earlier North of the Tree near the caravan trail. You also remember this so called Levin that you never actually saw... if he even exists...

Ready to go, Trellys gets in step with Armand. So is Elyngael.
Moridark nods at Armand's suggestion to go check out these sightings...

Yunn'Neshi thinks of something else! Rather than travelling through the Scab, why not teleport to Windhorne Hamlet. That means you'll be still travelling North but it will enable you to stay on the outskirts of the Scab. 'Osul likes this idea! Once in the wood and beyond sight Windhorn Hamlet sounds like a good waypoint.


And so a new journey begins... the Wardens walk North following the caravan trail.

If you have specific marching order feel free to let us know.

DM Steven - Muddy tracks... 
Tuesday October 19th, 2021 3:09:32 AM

The Wardens leave Tree. The weather is overcast - chances are it will bring some rain later today.
As you leave town you notice some watching you, a kid running by waving at you, a cat on a hunt for it must have spotted a mouse... business as usual.

Elyngael takes point. She keeps Brawn toward the back close to Armand. The Cleric reminds his friends of the Wind Walk spells he has prepared but for now he just tags along. Trellus has found a like minded person in Armand. For sure a Cleric of Domi and a Cleric of Gargul have much to talk about. Both will be able to use the Wind Walks when needed. From Tree you follow the caravan trail. Moridark closes the ranks but doesn't notice much.

Yurr´Neshi takes a tactical position towards the group and keeps an eye out for trouble.

´Osul is the first to notice quite fresh tracks of a cart that is being pulled. That's not very odd is it?! ... But after showing his findings to Elyngael, they decide it's the depth of the wheel tracks that is remarkable... as if this cart has been overloaded. There are some donkey hooves in front of the cart. 'Osul's eyes are so keen he even notices boot tracks. People have been helping to push the cart and occasionally their boots slipped.

Moridark stays quiet as the others discuss the tracks. The mage stands still as he tries not to mess up the tracks.

You know Trellus that was my first thought as well. an overladen heavy cart that needs to be pushed while being pulled by one or more donkeys..

DM Steven - Muddy tracks... 
Wednesday October 20th, 2021 7:31:01 AM

The tracks found get the Wardens talking among each other. Armand isn't too interested in them and does not want to get tangled up in something they have no business with... 'Osul agrees but wonders if perhaps these people would need some help?

Elyngael studies the tracks a bit closer. They are moving away from Tree and seem to continue on this Caravan trail for now it seems. The tracks are actually quite fresh... perhaps only a few hours but from the boot marks Elyngael gets the impression they are trying to make haste? The tracks are very easy to follow actually for the trail is quite muddy. The Weather is overcast and it must have rained during the previous night - there's more rain in those clouds.
It must be a two wheel transport but not knowing the exact cart it's difficult to estimate the odds of a broken axle. Even without Brawns nose it's easy to follow the tracks.

Trellus wonders if this could be one of the gold laden carts they've heard about before... which was the exact thought that Neshi had... a cart is usually pulled by 2 medium creatures. Here it seem to be 2 donkeys and it's even pushed by some more people. A cart normally holds 300lbs what is no problem to be pulled by a donkey... so could it be this wagon has been overloaded double or more? Hard to say. Moridark does not want to mes with the tracks so instead he tries to figure out how man,y pounds the cart holds and what distance they could travel with it... Now 300lbs would be roughly 6000 Gold... which isn't all that much for experienced adventurers such as yourself... maybe the cart is being tripple loaded even? Could it hold almost up to 20K so that it created these tracks? They can't go for miles like this!!

But like Armand said right when he saw the tracks... what does it concern the Wardens?

"Hmm. Well if it is a gold laden cart, we'd still have to be extra careful. Wouldn't want those...." he's at a loss for the right word to describe those 'people', "...people to go spreading more rumors about us being highway men and such.

Neshi, listens and watches.

So, is there a way we can do this without being seen. or shall we just walk in and say hi, we saw your tracks and was curious about who was out her and what they are doing?

DM Steven - Muddy tracks... 
Thursday October 21st, 2021 5:06:05 AM

The tracks prove to be interesting enough for the Wardens to investigate some more. Rain has started to come down... you find your gear getting all wet quick... basically you'll all feel chilly and wet in no time with this somber weather.

Armand however is worried... already the Wardens seem to be given some bad publicity. You don't want this to escalate even further! But maybe 'Osul has a point in trying to catch up with whoever these people are. What if they need a hand?! It's not quite what 'Osul had in mind but close enough. 'Osul examines the tracks as they follow them. The Druid notices two different boot tracks... one on either side of the cart. Two sets of donkey hooves. He notices another pair of boots... a bit more left of the cart. These tracks show no signs that someone is trying to push a heavy cart... this one is simply walking along. Now a keen eye does notice these boot tracks show evidence of this person being rather overweight or carrying a heavy load...

Trellus is in for the chase. As soon as the tracks go into the forest (no specific forest... just trees, some bushes... nothing peculiar) he's eager to press on and catch up with the cart. Before leaving the caravan trail Elyngael does point out the other tracks she could identify.... there seem to be a lot of carts that come and go from this place... The ranger agrees with Trellus and readies to follow the tracks as they enter the forest. It seems there has been so much traffic that even the worst trackers in the Wold would not have a problem following tracks. Undergrowth has been pushed aside, small tree trunks cut down to free the path...

Only Yurr-Neshi considers a more stealthy chase... Moridark doens't like walking so he summons his phantom steed and flies just above the others.

Once you leave the caravan trail the tree canopy protects you somewhat from the rain. In a different setting rain falling on a tree canopy can be quite relaxing but here and now it's either a nuisance or an advantage... depending on how you intend to follow the transport.

'Osul agrees with Elyngael to go follow the tracks to see what they are all about. He adds his findings of the bootprints and hoofprints. There's no indication that any donkey is injured though - guessing from the weight they pull you do imagine they must be quite exhausted though.

Armand doesn't really care about stealth... why would you when you're carrying a glaive and a mitral breastplate. Instead he decides to whistle a tune... whistling in the rain... luckily he's not singing...

Trellus is quite surprised by this approach... he sticks with Armand and tries keeping an eye on things.
Well if the ones on the ground don't care about stealth why should Moridark?! He sits on his phantom steed and keeps an eye from above.

Now Elyngael is a different matter. She's in her favored terrain! She can walk these woods stealthy and quickly. So she moves about 60ft ahead of the noisy ones. Moridark too hovers over the main group so Elyngael can do some scouting carefully.

Elyngael quietly moves ahead of the group... the other ones are only 60ft behind them... she can almost hear them breath... rain continues to fall and rattle on the canopy above (unfavourable condition DC+2 ).

Elyngael Highlight to display spoiler: {After following the trail for about 500ft you hear something and it's not coming from behind you.

DC to hear 10 +2 condition +1/10ft vs Elyngael 34 means you can hear something about 220 ft in front of you. The trees are blocking your view to see what is actually there. You can hear people talking to each other, dragging stuff, scowling (to the animals most likely), ...

Armand whistling DC10 , +2 condition +1/10ft vs Counter perception check 41 means who ever is listening can detect the main group from 290ft out. You are is 220ft from them +60ft is 280ft...
While whoever is out there can't hear you, they do hear the rest of the Wardens approaching...

You hear someone with a deep impact making voice saying: "Someone's out there... on guard... "

You can hear another voice saying : "You sure? I don't hear anything... ". . Somehow this voice sounds familiar. You can't place it... but for some reason you don't put on a happy face hearing that voice...

"... you question me?! ..." says the first voice again. Now that voice sends shivers down your spine...

Neshi knowing that he moves faster than the rest of his friends (base speed 70) when left to their own motion keeps of to the left side of the group and moves into the woods. He is pretty sure that stealth and survival skills are out of the question (DC10/5) He uses his knowledge of nature and his perception (DC28/22) to try and make up for it and scouts to the left flank.

Armand and Trellus keep following on the path, making no attempt to disguise or hide themselves. Hopefully they will prove enough of a distraction - or 'bait' as Trellus says - and help the others maintain their stealth against whatever has them jumpy.

Moridark flies above pair. From his elevated position he doesn't see anything out of the ordinary yet, but he draws a quicken rod in anticipation of trouble.

Osul heads to the right to continue along in the undergrowth. Neshi takes the left.

Elyngael goes invisible. She edges closer to where she heard the noise, moving around to the right as she goes to change up her position. Based on where she last heard the voices she figures she's about 180ft away from them. She can't hear any voices now though. It's gone quiet. All she can hear is the sound of the rain falling around her.

Elyngael is about 60ft ahead of the party.

Armand and Moridark talk spells and tactics, with Trellus quite happy to let his sword do the talking.

Speaking in a strong voice Neshi casts an invisibility spell on himself and disappears from sight.

The main group is Armand and Trellus side-by-side with Brawn, Moridark flying above, Neshi taking the left flank and Osul taking the right. Elyngael is somewhere up ahead. By Osul's reckoning she's 60ft ahead of you. Noone else can see her though. The ranger is far too stealthy.

You don't see or hear anything out of the ordinary. Just an uneventful walk in the rain.

Elyngael ... Highlight to display spoiler: {

Elyngael keeps quietly moving forward. She can hear a voice from up ahead though can't understand what is being said.

After that... silence.

The ranger keeps moving forward until she can get a view of the trail ahead. Stopped in the middle of the path she can see five men (four humans and a dwarf) around a horse led cart. They are currently crouched low and looking down the trail towards where the party will be approaching. One has a bow drawn, another has a crossbow loaded and aimed, but the other three are unarmed. One of the unarmed men is quite tall and has white hair - vaguely matching the description of that 'Levin' man. He is focused in Elyngael's direction but the others have their attention on the direction of the rest of the party.

Elyngael now realizes why one of the voices sounded familiar. She can see now that the man with the bow drawn is Frampton.

This group are approx 100ft ahead of Elyngael and around 160ft ahead of the rest of the party. You're nicely concealed at the moment, but based on their speed you suspect the party will shortly be coming into view on the trail.

There's 3 others not armed, not sure if they are casters or bystanders. But one of them matches the Levin the guy passing gold out at the Tree.

Armand and Trellus take some time to cast a few spells in anticipation of a fight. Hopefully your potential opponents aren't doing the same!

Neshi, Osul and Elyngael take the flanks. Osul knows that they are certainly within the borders of the Culverwood, but far from the 'deep' Culverwood where things get dangerous and chaotic.

The group moves forward.

Armand calls out a greeting but only gets as fast as "Hel.."

The man with the white hair loudly calls out. "ATTACKERS!" he moves to sit atop the cart, facing the direction of the party. He is unarmed and makes no attempt to cast a spell of any kind. For now he simply sits there and waits to see what will happen. "And watch out for the invisible ones. There's one over there" he points in Neshi's direction "And there" he points in Elyngael's direction.

The two archers that had been hiding in the bushes stand and open fire at the visible opponents.

Archer 6 fires a volley of arrows at Armand. The Sanctuary spell doesn't appear to have had any effect on him. Only one manages to pierce through the Shield of Faith (Hit AC35. Armand takes 18pts damage!)

The other archer is also able to ignore the effect of the Sanctuary spell. Archer 7 fires a volley of five arrows at Moridark. He gets hit by several of them. (Hit AC22 (Manyshot), 36, and AC33. Moridark takes 14 + 17 + 11+ 11pts damage!)

Elyngael Highlight to display spoiler: {...
Elyngael can't see the three unarmed men, but she does spot Frampton sneaking through the bushes (R22 on the map). His bow is still drawn as he crouches and quietly moves. He seems unaware of Elyngael's exact position, but the white-haired guy said she was around here somewhere.

Eight multicolored rays of light flash out from Neshi's hand. Each ray is a different color and has a different power and purpose. Each creature in a 60-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. For each target, roll a d8 to determine which color ray affects it.

1. Red. The target takes 10d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
2. Orange. The target takes 10d6 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
3. Yellow. The target takes 10d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
4. Green. The target takes 10d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
5. Blue. The target takes 10d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
6. Indigo. On a failed save, the target is restrained. It must then make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it successfully saves three times, the spell ends. If it fails its save three times, it permanently turns to stone and is subjected to the petrified condition. The successes and failures don’t need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind.
7. Violet. On a failed save, the target is blinded. It must then make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of your next turn. A successful save ends the blindness. If it fails that save, the creature is transported to another plane of existence of the GM’s choosing and is no longer blinded. (Typically, a creature that is on a plane that isn’t its home plane is banished home, while other creatures are usually cast into the Astral or Ethereal planes.)
8. Special. The target is struck by two rays. Roll twice more, rerolling any 8.

Osul decides he isn't going to mess around. He casts a very powerful Sunburst spell and covers a ridiculous area with it. He hears screams coming from the bushes and realizes that those that were hiding in them were unlucky enough to be within range.

Armand is wary of the guy in the cart. Who turns up to a fight unarmed and doesn't attack? That's suspicious. He casts a silence spell on the cart and then follows up with a Flame Strike on one of the archers giving him a good frying.

Elyngael decides to put one of the archers out of his misery. It takes all three shots but she puts him down.

Trellus steps up and gives his attackers a chance to surrender.

Neshi doesn't. He casts a Cone of Cold and follows up with a Prismatic spray. The archer dodges all of the Cone of Cold but gets hit bit a Violet ray which has no effect on the already blinded guy.

Moridark casts a spectral hand spell to cover the area around the cart in the hope of trapping the mysterious white-haired guy.

White haired guy - the unarmed one who made no action to attack or harm the party - has now been attacked by a Silence Spell, Sunburst, Cone of Cold, Black Tentacles, and Prismatic Spray. Despite all of this he hasn't been hurt at all! The Sunburst had no effect on him, he dodged some of the cone of cold but what hit him didn't do anything, he was hit by the indigo prismatic ray but it had no effect, and he was able to walk out of the area of the black tentacles!

White-hair calmly walks off the cart and outside the radius of the Silence and Tentacles spells. Once outside the area he turns to look back at the party and dusts off his hands. His eyes change to glowing bright white with narrow, black oval shaped irises. "Good thing I wasn't a random innocent person. I'm sure your gods would have been truly pleased at the 'attack the unarmed man' bit!" he scoffs. His voice is loud, deep and reverberates more than a human's voice should. "No matter. This has been quite illuminating. Do with these ones as you wish." he says with a dismissive gesture towards the other attackers. "We will wait for you... Wardens"

Ok, maybe attacking him was a good idea.

White-haired guy casts a spell and promptly disappears from view.
Spellcraft DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: {Teleport}

The remaining enemy act...

Frampton has been blinded but based on sound he still has a good idea where Elyngael is standing. He fires two arrows in her direction. One isn't even close and the other flies harmlessly over Elyngael's shoulder.

Crossbow guy casts a spell and then holds it as he moves through the bushes to one of the unarmed guys. Once there he releases the spell.
Spellcraft DC21: Highlight to display spoiler: {Heal}

The unarmed guy who had been hiding on the south side 'blips' across the area to appear behind Neshi!
Spellcraft DC21: Highlight to display spoiler: {You didn't see him cast a spell however the effect looks very much like a Dimension Door spell}

The unarmed guy on the north pushes through the undergrowth to get adjacent to Neshi. He attacks and trips the taur (CMB: 33. Neshi is tripped/prone!). He tries to drop a knee in but misses.

The area around Neshi is very quiet. It is apparent that both unarmed men have silence spells centered on them.

The lone ranger (hehe) may be blind but he's not going to let something like that stop him. He unloads a collection of arrows towards where he believes Trellus to be. Three arrows miss Trellus by a long way. The fourth one harmlessly deflects off his armor, leaving the tiniest of scratches on the surface of the metal. Nothing a good buff and polish won't fix.

A great round for our heroes!

Osul calls down some lightning on the two men flanking Neshi. They didn't even see it coming and take the full brunt of the bolts.

To add to it, Neshi then sets fire to the surrounding area, burning the two even more! (Highlight to display spoiler: {Correct. Neshi should have been able to make an AoO last round. The opponent was going to use acrobatics to avoid it but I forgot to roll/explain it. To keep things fair, neither of these two will get an AoO on Neshi for standing up. Also, can you link your sheet in your header please?})

Then to finish things off, Armand absolutely destroys one of them.

Trellus gives the blind archer a chance to surrender. Now, the archer can't see what has been happening, but in the past few seconds he has heard "*bzzzt* 'Arragh!' *bzzzt* *whoosh* 'It burns, it burns!' *sizzle* 'Urrgh!'". That's enough for him to drop his bow and raise his hands in the air.

Moridark casts some web spells to tangle up Frampton and the caster. He makes sure to position the one on Frampton so that he doesn't catch the rest of the party in the webs. Frampton gets well and truly stuck, but the caster is unaffected.

Elyngael has no problems stepping up to Frampton and relieving him of his bow.

The unarmed guy next to Neshi sweeps the legs and drops Neshi prone once more. There is a flurry of kicks and punches but only one lands (CMB: 38. Neshi is prone and has -4AC! Hit AC29. Neshi takes 7pts damage)

The caster to the north rips a bead from his necklace and throws it towards Armand. It doesn't make it all the way, but makes it far enough to still catch him in the blast. (Armand, Brawn, and Trellus to make a ref save vs DC14. Fail=20pts fire damage. Pass=10pts fire damage).

Frampton isn't going down without a fight. Though blind, he still manages to twist free of the web and steps aside. "Hardly a fair fight" he grumbles as he draws a dagger.

Neshi tries to do a few things but finds himself still in trouble. He gets to his feet narrowly avoiding a kick as he does so. He tries to jump his way out of trouble but is only able to get 5ft away from his assailant and still within the radius of the Silence spell. Highlight to display spoiler: {Uh... a few things. There's no AoO from the trip attempt as the enemy has Improved Trip. It's a Move action to stand up, so you can't stand up (Move action) and jump (Move action) and cast (Standard action) in the same round. Also, the Acrobatics Jump DC is doubled if you don't have 10ft run-up, which would make it DC24. With 20ft silence, even if Neshi had been successful on the acrobatics check, being 10ft away he couldn't have cast a spell with a verbal component. Neshi keeps the spell slot.}

The caster to the north takes a hit from Armand's Flame Strike spell, but you notice he avoids a little of it.

Trellus can smell some of his hair burning but it doesn't stop him from stabbing Frampton. Highlight to display spoiler: {From what I read Spell Resistance doesn't apply vs the Necklace. Also, DR only applies against weapon attacks so I think Trellus takes 10pts}

Elyngael disarms Frampton once more, feeling no pity for the rogue. Brawn is sent to take care of the caster.

Moridark guides his mount northwards as he starts casting a summoning spell. The way the fight is going it might be over before he finishes his spell!

Osul calls down some more lightning on the bandit attacking Neshi.

Frampton draws another dagger and stabs at where he thinks Elyngael is. It's a decent attempt but he fails to find her and stabs harmlessly in the air.

The bandit attacking Neshi takes a step towards him keeps up the now familiar routine by tripping the sorceror and then flurrying a number of attacks. Only 1 lands. (CMB: 35. Neshi is prone and has -4AC! Hit AC31. Neshi takes 10pts damage)

The archer keeps his hands raised and drops to his knees. He will play no further part in the combat and hopes to receive mercy from the imminent victors.

The caster has no intention of surrendering like that coward of an archer. He calls down a Flame Strike on Moridark to try and interupt his spell. (Flame Strike. Moridark takes 21pts Fire damage + 21pts damage. Ref Save vs DC22 to halve. Moridark to make a concentration check of 15+Damage or lose his spell. Phantom Steed takes 42pts damage... I think)

Moridark yells in pain as the spell strikes him, and although hemanages to avoid half of the damage (Refelx 22) the spell still causes him to loose his spell. The phantom steed manages to stick around but appears a bit more insubstantial. Moridark casts fly on himself as a precaution.

Neshi's elemental ray misses it's mark, though it makes little difference as Osul brings a lightning bolt down and zaps the poor attacker to death.

Frampton is no match for the blows of Trellus and falls dead at Elyngael's feet. She has no trouble kicking the dagger from his lifeless hand. She notes he still has another two daggers sheathed, so the whole stab-and-disarm gig could have kept up a couple more rounds.

Brawn gets close enough to the caster to reach out and bite, but he isn't able to pierce the caster's armor. (Brawn to make a DC22 combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check or become grappled in the web)

With the monk dead Armand fires both rays at the enemy caster and fries him to a crisp.

Moridark takes a little damage but shrugs off half of it. (Highlight to display spoiler: {How many HP does the steed have? It took 42pts I thought})

All of the enemy are defeated - either dead, escaped, or surrendered.

"Huh," Trellus grunts, surprised Frampton is down.

He reaches down, throws the man's body over one shoulder, carries him back to the cart, and drops him upon it.

Then, he steps over to the archer.

"Congratulations," he tells the man, while searching for more weapons. "You're going to live."
"And as long as we're being friendly, what can you tell me about who the guy who told you all to attack us is, what he wants, and what you're all doing here."

Armand shakes his head sadly at all the carnage. Gargul's tasks are never finished, perhaps though it was these peoples time.

Armand casts Discern Lies and goes over to the archer. "I'm afraid I can't heal your blindness right away. But should you prove truly repentant then I will heal you. Now please, answer my friend and tell us what is going on."

Armand waves Neshi over to healed.

Neshi stands up with a growl. That was not at all fun. He waves off Armand's healing. I'll take care of this over the next few minutes. Neshi activates his Brahma's tattoo three times over the next few moment and is soon back to full health.

Moridark lands gracefully and rejoins the group (Highlight to display spoiler: {All good. Just making sure we're on the same page for any future encounters})

Osul keeps an eye out for any other folks about but doesn't see or hear any in the immediate area. The rain is starting to ease up a little though.

Trellus pats down the archer and finds a couple of kukris stuffed into his belt. He relives the ranger of them and then begins the interrogation under Armand's watchful eye.

The archer remains in a kneeling position with his hands above his head. His head is dropped low and the perceptive of you notice his hands are trembling. "I.. I don't know. I've never seen him before. I.. I was just hired by that guy Frampton to escort this shipment is all." Armand doesn't detect any deception in the mans words, and anyone else watching believes the same.

Elyngael checks over Frampton's gear but doesn't detect anything poisonous. She makes her way over to the cart to examine it. It's a standard cart being pulled by a chestnut colored light pony. In the back there are at least a dozen hessian sacks piled up. Elyngael opens up one and can see it is filled to the top with gold coins! There must be thousands of them. Moridark is quite good at appraising the value of items. Based on the size of the bags he estimates there to be around 15,000 gold coins here (totalling around 300lbs).

Neshi isn't too happy about how the fight went, but the party were never in doubt of being the victors. He goes corpse to corpse to gather their gear.

"Light," Trellus grunts with annoyance at the man's answer. "Guess I shouldn't have hit Frampton so hard. Ah well, the grass grows where it wills."

Pointing to the prisoner, he asks Armand, "Does that wear off, or are we waiting till morning to cure it?"

"And what about this stuff?" he asks, sweeping his arms to indicate the wagon and sundry equipment.
"Some of this equipment looks handy, but do we take the gold back to the Tree?"

'Osul reverts to human form, shifts to donkey form and goes with a mouthful of food (grass, etc.) to give to the other donkey. They get to communicate, 'Osul casts Charm Animal {SR:25, Will vs 25} and follows up with Wild Empathy {Cha vs 31}. He asks how the donkey is, if there was another donkey pulling the cart as well (DM notes 21 Oct), and if the cart feels any lighter to pull (and how much so). He is honestly concerned for the welfare of both donkeys, particularly if one has been taken away to carry specific items onwards. I'm already assuming that the donkey made its save versus the Sunburst, based on its actions during and after the combat.
In amongst the interaction, he also takes the time to confirm if this is something else in changed shape.

He returns to the hoard counters reverts to human form and lets everyone know the results, and if they have a second donkey to pursue.

Armand dismisses the silence spell on the cart. He asks the bowman. "Where did he hire you? What was the destination of this shipment?"

He also channels to heal everyone, (25 points healed, 8d6) Who still needs healing?

He turns to Trellus, "Do you mean the blindness? I'm not sure I didn't cast that spell so I don't know the particulars. I'm sure if this guy, say What's your name prisoner? wants to follow a path of repentance I will try to cure his vision, but it would have to wait until tomorrow."

To the Wardens he says. "Well I can get Speak with Dead tomorrow and we can ask Frampton some questions. Do we want to bury the rest of the dead and camp here?"

"Armand thank you. That helps quite a bit but I am still quite injured. About twice again I think." Moridark looks over the coin, and items and shakes his head. "All of this was worth their lives as they tried to take ours? For what? We didn't hide we were coming. We tried to speak with them. We intended no harm. What are they hiding? Doing? If it wasn't suspect before it is now." The mage looks over the items after Trellus mentions it might come in handy, "That necklace, and a few of the potions might be helpful for me but the rest not so much."

(apologies for not posting last Friday as I was supposed to)

Trellus grunts with annoyance at the archer's answer and is frustrated he hit Frampton so hard. Armand joins Trellus and dismisses the Silence spell as he continues to question the archer.

"My name is Derlin... I live in Edenmoor with my wife Camelia and our twin sons... in fact most of us come...", he stops a moment and looks around at the carnage around him, "... came... from towns in New Elenna. Sir Frampton hired us to set up a trade route between the Evenoak, Tree and New Elenna. It felt like a genuine business... but we never got to bring transports in New Elenna... every time we were lead here in the forest. We only got a few donkeys and 2 wheel carts. We don't know why they were taking all this gold here... we had to leave it here and then return with the empty carts. When we got back with a new load the previous gold was gone... When we asked Sir Frampton about it he got nervous and threatened us saying the White Goddess would turn us into ice statues... Maybe the one with the white hair took it? " The man speaks truth. He also seems to be quite tired an famished.

Osul' feels for the donkeys. It's obvious they have been treated poorly. But he finds only one?! This one is still tied to the cart... eyes wild in fear... fuming... trying to pull the reigns to escape but to no avail. Where did they other one go?? He sees one of the reigns snapped... the poor animal ran into the forest in panic. If Osul' wants he can quickly find the second animal. From the marks on their neck it's obvious they have been pulling loads that were far to heavy for them. He also notices how they have been beaten numerous times to make haste. The young druid calms both animals with soothing words.

Elyngael and Yurr'Neshi rummage through the spoils and detail what they have found. That's perhaps too much to drag along - provided you're interested in pursuing 'white hair'... Moridark heals up and checks the loot. Shaking his head he contemplates why this battle even had to take place... they were not out for a fight! This could have ended differently... if it wasn't suspect before... it is now.

Armand suggests he can speak with the dead tomorrow so they can ask Frampton what this is all about...
"Do we want to bury the rest of the dead and camp here?"

Armand does some more healing, including the donkeys and the archer in it.
Channel 39 hit points healed (8d6) Armand offers the ranger some iron rations.

Armand then goes to each of the dead, except Frampton and begins the rights of passage. He takes out s shovel and looks around for a bit. Finally he settles on a spot and begins digging. He talks as he digs he talks, "I've got 3 pair of manacles if you think we should put one on the Derlin...and maybe Frampton, I don't want him to get up and walk away before we get a chance to question him and that's something devious that white hair may try." He continues to dig. "Anyone know where New Elenna is? Derlin, I'm not sure what Frampton was up to but setting up a legitimate trade route with the Tree of Parting was not it. He and his 'boss' have been doing some weird racket with exchanging gold pieces at profit to them. I'm sorry you're friends were too...well that they wouldn't surrender when repeated called upon to do so." He continues to dig, "I think we should take those potions, the disguise ones could be useful."

(Tuesday post)

Neshi looks over at the pile of stuff and suggests teleporting it back to the Tree.

Moridark, Armand and Trellus are occupied with Derlin and the ones that have fallen in battle. Armand first makes sure everyone, including the animals are back to full health. Derlin casts a thankful smile at Armand.
Then he starts digging graves for the deceased. Meanwhile he talks to his fellow Wardens. Trellus sees no reason to use manacles on Derlin. but he agrees to wrap Frampton up. Neither he nor Armand wants to see Frampton getting back on his feet... Armand then addresses Derlin. Genuinely thankful of being healed and spared Derlin offers to help digging the graves for the other men. As he does he answers.

"New Elenna is East of the Culverwood. It's the Kingdom of the Plateaus. The highest plateaus are for the rich and snobbish. You must have heard from Plateau City have you not? I live below the plateaus in a town called Edenmoor ... in fact all of us here came from below. Elyngael nods at Derlin's description of New Elenna. Maybe this description of the higher plateaus is a bit biased since Derlin seems to come from below. Most of the towns on the frontier's edge are ... well peculiar. Windhorn Hamlet that you all know is the most Northern town of New Elenna.

"Frampton there... we think he came from one of the higher plateaus... we don't know. He hired us to work for him for his trade route. You are probably right that what he did here wasn't very legit. I assure you Sir we... I didn't know anything oft this gold exchanging. We had to bring loads of Gold here and it was gone the next time we were here. Please Sir let me go home... or if you plan on punishing me as well please let me get these few gold coins to my wife... " Armand notices Derlin is holding a few of these new gold coins - it's questionable that these gold coins will be of any additional value... IF they are accepted...

'Osul and Elyngael take care of the donkeys. 'Osul can confirm they are just donkeys... no druids or other shape shifted beings. Elyngael casts speak to animals and asks them why they are so frightened and if they know the route these men took. Other than braying Elyngael learns the two animals were scared of these 'traders' but even more of you and the sizzling spells you cast earlier... the Ranger also understands these Donkeys never went any further. Once their heavy loads were here, they returned with an empty cart. Both donkeys preferred the return trips obviously... But none of the animals know where the gold went after it was brought here...

Perhaps Frampton will be able to tell more in the morning when Armand has the spells prepared.
Provided Frampton doesn't turn in some undead creature when full moon sits on the horizon...

OOC DM, I asked a bit ago on if the coins in the cart are 'standard' coins or the 'new' special coins they have been forcing everyone to trade for.

Armand says to Derlin "Excuse me a minute sir, I would like to talk privately with my friends." He sort of circles everyone in. "Okay, here's some thoughts. Most of this masterwork stuff isn't of use to us. I'm fine with giving it to Derlin and have him either take it back home and sell it, or take it to the Tree and sell it. I guess it will depend on him what sort of market his home town has for that stuff. I'm fine with him keeping his payment."

Armand will then finish the rites with the dead and then finish the burial.

The coins in the carts are indeed standard gold coins used al over the Wold. The Gold Derlin has in his hands are these "new coins" which supposedly are worth double but in fact weigh just as much as a standard coin.

Having gained sufficient info from Derlon, Armand has a private talk with his friends. Derlin is visibly worried to death now... he's just been digging some graves and now the Wardens seem to decide over his fate...

Perhaps as it is to be expected from the Wardens they all agree to let Derlin go. But on top of that he will be given a cart, 2 donkeys and load of expensive weaponry. Just realize that Derlin comes from Below the plateaus... the poorer and more peculiar regions of New Elenna. The loot you are giving him is probably larger and more valuable than anything he as ever had. Yurr'Neshi is right to say Derlin will be going well when he leaves. Let's just hope he'll trade in the weaponry for something more constructive.

Moridark is eager to figure out the next steps but Trellus reminds him that they need to wait till morning to question Frampton. 'Osul is ok with that but he just doens't like to stay right here... where white-hair teleported from . If he can teleport out... he might as well teleport back in. But he did say he... no they... would be waiting for you right?

"Well Derlin we're not one to hold grudges, usually. So tell you what. We're going to allow you to take the cart and donkeys, and all this miscellaneous gear home with you. That is if you think you can find a market for it there, or you can go to Tree and sell it there, though I'm not sure how well you will do there right now. There's a bit of trouble at the Tree which is why we're doing some investigation. You can stay with us overnight and set of in the morning or you can go now. I think we're going to move off a ways and continue our journey before setting up camp." Armand looks to the others. "Neshi maybe hold off on teleporting until after we set up camp so you can jump there and back. Though I'd recommend dropping the stuff with James so he can oversee it."

OOC DM - how much time left in the day? If at least 2 hours I say we move off and then set up camp with the tree house

Trellus nods along at moving off a bit, just in case White Hair decides to come back unexpectedly.

Moridark finishes his notes and looks over the pile of items for Derlin. The mage settles in only casting his mansion if Armand does not use the tree house.

'Osul offers to accompany Elyngael for the scouting. He puts his mind to the environs - low bushes - wind swept? The tree house might stick out nearby.

Neshi agrees to delay the teleporting of the remaining stuff back to their abode at the tree until they are finished with their walk for the day and have set up camp.

Once camp is set in the tree fort, Neshi makes one last comment before heading out.

"So, is there anything here that any of you want or need to keep with us before it pop it back to the tree?"

Neshi pops the spyglass into his pack and then looks at the "silver unholy symbol."

"Umm can we consecrate this or turn it into silver slag. I'm not sure I want this with us or at the tree as it is."

Neshi gives everyone a chance to look over the remaining things to see if anyone wants any of it then pops back to their abode in the tree.

(OOC, Speak now, or it is at the tree.)

DM Steven - Time to move on...

Derlin's eyes grow wide as Armand tells him about the Wardens' plans with him. This was not what he had dreamed of. He looks at the sky and says : "Well Sir with your approval I would prefer spending the night in your company but if at all possible I'd rather not stay here... If we could follow the caravan trail back home for a few hours before dusk I'd feel a lot safer than here. Besides I don't want to be on the road alone for too long with this treasure... I'd welcome you to my humble home if you visit Edenmoor. It's not much but it's home... and when Camelia bakes cookies the whole house smells wonderful of cinnamon, ginger and chocolate. But I guess you lords have more urgent business to attend to."

'back home' for Derlin means taking the road towards New Elenna - it's also the road you might take if you want to go by Windhorn Hamlet. You'd come to a crossing. Taking left will lead you to Windhorn Hamlet. Right will lead to Edenmoor. Making the detour to Derlin's home will cost you two days supplementary - that is without any magic tricks of course.

The Wardens make a fine team. No one wants to stay here in the event that white hair returns. They all agree to leave this place and walk the rest of the day before making camp. Does that mean you will take Frampton's body with you? Elyngael and 'Osul will scout ahead.

Neshi takes care of the spoils. If no one speaks up, she'll get everything back to their Tree mansion.

(ooc - The silver unholy symbol... nothing special noted about it... just something the slain cleric was carrying)

Trellus slings Frampton's wrapped body into the cart for the several hours long trip away from the ambush.

"If no one minds," he asks the group. "I could use one of those Headbands of Wisdom, and a potion of Mirror Image."

The man hasn't had homemade cookies in an awfully long time, and sends Armand a questioning look.

OOC DM yes we are taking Frampton with us

Armand looks at Trellus and shrugs. "Let's set up camp near the crossroads. Maybe Frampton's spirit can give us some direction tomorrow." He walks a bit off the side and then will pop up the tree-house.

"What can you tell us about your home Drelin? What is your chief crop...or whatever it is your village produces?"

Armand will take first rest and then can be up the rest of the night because of his ring of sustenance. He will try to be restful while wakeful though.

Since the cart is still going to be overloaded for the donkey's to pull Elyngael will rig some rope from the cart, past where the donkeys pull to tie onto Brawn's saddle and he will help with pulling the wagon (he has a strength of 26).
