For Drack and Mortimer: Highlight to display spoiler: { The location of the Chapel seems to change by whom you ask. All of the answers contain it being in hills or mountains, but whether West, East, North, or South no one can pinpoint. The consensous is that the Chapel appears to those searching for it, or when it wants to be found. Mortimer knows that the location is close to the edge of the Red Hills, and that it has been many decades since it has "allowed itself" to be found. Mortimer also knows that it has many levels delving deeper into the ground, and that one or more are tied to another place, possibly that of Gargul}
In the morning, the party members who are out and about, notice that the mood of the village is still high, and that almost overnight the usually quiet children were beginning to form into groups and begin speaking to each other.
Manolo wakes to someone kissing him ... then it registers that they have bad breath and a larger than normal tongue. His eyes snap open and one of the local female dogs somehow was in bed with him, under the covers, and spooning with him.
Gnubert wakens early, and begins his day with meditation and contemplation before he begins praying for his spells
Loryn makes a tasty breakfast for himself, prior to heading out into the community where he spent time in the communal garden
Torry gets her braid and ribbon just the way she likes it after taking care of Spot, and then examines her garments. Some needed minor cleaning, and her dress, well no one has her style and grace to pull such an outfit off.
Ash mutters that a "quest" maybe thrown at the party tonight, while enjoying cold pizza for breakfast.
Mole pretty much does what Mole does, and after breakfast continues his stonework separate from the others [we can change this if need be]
The day passes uneventfully, when a young girl finds all the party members, "Oh, it is time for dinner, yummy yummy dinner."
Dinner is an interesting mix of fresh roasted and spiced lamb, with more trout which has been stuffed with onion, leeks, and garlic and then roasted. Again, a smattering of cooked and fresh vegetables are on hand. Hot tea, cold water, light sweet wine, and a local ale are on hand for drinks.
The three council members seem embarrassed when the party arrives, however, they make excellent hosts thanking the party for what they have done for the community recently.
About midway through dinner, the mayor wipes his chin after a long pull on his ale mug. "My friends, we have an issue, one that we hope you'd be willing to help us with..."
Manolo (Michael A) -- AC 18/15/13 -- CMD 19 -- HP 31/35 ; Wednesday August 16th, 2023 5:48:45 PM
Manolo wakes up with a hangover, surprised to see a dog in his bed. He mutters to himself "That was a strong alcohol".
At the dinner he will let the others to do the speaking for the time being.

Gnubert quietly dresses after his prayers, and pulls his surcoat over his armor. The cleric packs his gear away carefully, and places his haversack on the bed. Gnubert treads softly down the stairs and proceeds to the kitchen where he makes himself a mug of tea, and peckishly eats breakfast.
Gnubert spends the day at the temple helping until supper

Her dress was easily cleaned. Her minor magic that facilitated the mending of objects and the removal of imperfections was more than adaptable enough to remove the dirt from her dress. It would even correct any frayed edges. (Mending). So it was that Torryn arrived to dinner looking her very best; which was to say head-turningly attractive.
She sat quietly and ate, but not the lamb. By and large, she was not a meat eater. Fortunately there were more than enough vegetables and nuts to sate her. It probably helped too that she ate the least of any in their group. She simply didn't have a large appetite. To drink, she did try a glass of wine, but thereafter stuck with water. When the mayor mentioned needing their help, her head swivelled, looking for Drack. She knew he'd be delighted. She said nothing, but watched Drack and the others: they were such fun. She decided that it would be Drack that accepted the quest without even knowing what was going to be asked of them.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 19 Thursday August 17th, 2023 10:05:20 AM
Drack is displeased about the differences in locations, and can only hope that Mortimer can get them there. He had already gotten guidance from Domi once, and he didn't feel right asking for more. He will pray to Domi and then prepare for dinner.
Drack follows the others to dinner, knowing full well that the council wants something. He will have a good meal, but skip the alcohol. That is for after battle, and he had a feeling that one was coming. As the council starts to speak, and mentions an "issue" Drack is hoping that it will not take him away from hunting the witches. Their days need to end before any more children are killed.
AC 13 HP 39/39 Loryn Glitterfall; Dan K d20+7=16 Thursday August 17th, 2023 10:57:12 AM
Loryn enjoys a light sampling fare of everything available at dinner. Like Torry, he was not a big eater or drinker, but he loved sampling things. Knowing there was a request coming Loryn simply nods his attention when it begins. He had thought of what his response would be hours before and politely lets the mayor completely finish his thought and pauses for 2 seconds to let the thought sink in for all. Adventure and excitement was what he was looking for and so he was partially excited to learn what the Mayor may have on his mind.
"We are all ears good sir." he begins, "But before you tell of your tale, you should know we have a few other potential journeys before us that we feel we need to take as well." Diplomacy 16

DM-Jon - The Day After Thursday August 17th, 2023 2:31:14 PM
The Mayor stands, with a glass of wine in one hand, the other behind his back. ”In times past there was the Renewal Festival. It was during that time that people from near and far would gather to recharge the Dragon Sentinels. However, that festival is no more. As a way to expand our village, and skills, we created the ‘NameDay’ Festival. This is a yearly tradition, one where our children learn skills from adults that will help ease them into jobs or professions. These groups of adults take a group of children out into the wilderness for five nights, to teach them skills that can help them be selected by someone on “NameDay.” This time spent out in the wilds, gives the adults a chance to gauge which children are capable of starting this path, and which children need another year.”
After the Mayor takes a drink of his wine, he continues, ”My friends, I understand that you may have other quests you may be working on, however, as I said earlier, we have found ourselves in a bind. Typically, we send out three groups of adults and children. This year there are only enough “free” adults for two, thus, we were hoping you would take a group of children out to learn from you. There are two established training locations, however, this year we had a third location scouted, but it's in a semi-secluded area. The children in this group are a mix of very bright to not-so-bright, and all have strengths and weaknesses. What say you friends, can you help us with our issue?”

"And there it was" Ash thought to himself when the jssue came up. His mind didn't get a chance to relax though, as his mouth started to hang more and more at the though of a group of kids being tutored in the woods by the heroes. He could barely take care of himself and his rat...so how did a group of kids fair.

That wasn't exactly what Mortimer was expecting. Why would parents trust him with their youngin's? Knowing his luck with children, he'd end up with a right fine bastard! He's not worried that something could go terribly wrong; he's sure of it! This would definitely make a mess of all their hard-won, feel-good relations with the locals. Especially when they come back with a headless brat!
Of course, Mortimer doesn't voice any of these concerns, but his eyes might be screaming them. He tries his best to hide his alarming concerns (Bluff: 19).
"So, is there a lot of demand for the grave digging arts? Wouldn't that best be taught in a cemetery?"
Torrynashkabbeth (Nick) HP:27/27 AC:18 F10: R:11 W:13 Friday August 18th, 2023 5:30:55 AM
Torryn held off replying, still watching Drack to see what he said. She felt sure that this was not what he was expecting. As for her, she was still very much a youngster herself. Were she fully human, she'd likely be measured to have roughly 17 years. Or perhaps she was being generous? 16 was likely nearer the mark. Clearly, they weren't asking her to be the responsible adult. Besides, what could she teach? There was, of course, dancing, but that was hardly the respectable profession that contributed to the productive expansion of a community, even if it did make people very happy.
Looking around further, she reasoned that Mole and Loryn would make excellent tutors. Both were patient enough to be good teachers and had skills to impart. It would be wise to smile and say nothing; at least until they and Drack had spoken. She really couldn't go far wrong with smiling.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 19 Friday August 18th, 2023 10:08:57 AM
Drack frowned as the mayor laid out his request. He did not like having to pause the witch hunt in order to babysit children.
Drack takes a second to digest it, remembering that without the tutoring of others, he would not be nearly as proficient in combat as he was. "5 days you say. We were about to head out to hunt for evil witches. We can probably spare 5 days cant we Loryn? Not sure what we can teach them, but we can try. Will they have horses, or are we walking?"
"After the 5 days though, we will need to go take care of some foul business."

Gnubert listens to the mayor, and his mind drifts back in time some 30-40 years ago to his parents and their home. Gnubert smiles outwardly as the smell of the hearth and candles explodes over him. The gnome can hear his mother fussing over him lovingly as he moves from swords, to bows, to poetry, and finally to prayers. Gnubert begins to wonder if he would be able to Nature half as well, and only manages to drag himself back to the present when he hears Drack speak to Loryn. Gnubert waits for Loryn's reply.
AC 13 HP 39/39 Loryn Glitterfall; Dan K Friday August 18th, 2023 2:25:45 PM
Loryn is a bit surprised as well and he is also rather honored that the village would trust them with the most precious things of Windhorne, literally, the future. He gives a nodding agreement to Drack "Our time line is in a few months, a 5 day span is not so much at all"
Lory, having lived in the village for nearly 2 decades was familiar with the dat and had watched the send off in the past. Being a gnome and not having children, he certainly never thought he would participate.
"Not sure what the rest of you lot will be doing, but I will be trying to create the next great human chef. One of the last true callings, I'm sure you would agree. Besides. Ash and Manolo will need someone to cook for them going forward."
Loryn looks across the others with a smile

Manolo makes a note to apologize to Loryn,' Maybe Loryn will forgive us', he thinks for a moment about him and Ash.
"Were there any accidents or strange incidents in the past?", Manolo asks. He will try to gauge any manipulation of the truth, perhaps something they are not supposed to know?

Mole; (RichP) AC 18; HP 59/59; CMD 16 Friday August 18th, 2023 10:16:32 PM
He looks around to the others to gauge their reactions. Most of them were just into their adult years. The only actual adults were him and the gnomes. He already considered himself a babysitter of sorts and it might be good experience for them.
There was a strange tingle in nose. He kept rubbing his nose as if he had a sneeze.
"I thinks we should do it." He says. "Also, I'm gonna suggest that all the groups camp together. We can give the kids the opportunity to learn more skills from the adults in all the groups."
DM-Jon - The Day After Friday August 18th, 2023 10:24:09 PM
Manolo's question seems to catch the Mayor off guard. "Oh, well, in the beginning yes, we did have some run in with goblins, and with the normal denizens of the region. Thus why we have two established areas that we visit when we can to prepare wood and to maintain so of the natural vegetables and flowers that grow in those locations. This year, we have a third area that we scouted out but haven't sued. That is where we were hoping you would take your wards. We have a map of the area, and it is but a full days walk to get there. We have a list of the children who asked to go with you all ... it's written down here, with a few comments upon the general nature of the children."
The List: Otto Sesk = Human male child - 10yo - says ‘uhhh’ lots. Works as stableboy, not bright, and a little lazy
Luka Sesk (Otto's brother) = Human male child - 10yo - Works at mill, not bright, very energetic
Celeste Dhihrem = human female child - 10yo - She's quiet. From a guard family, has been ignored at home, "She's always under our feet..."
Amber Thishuthath = human female child - 10yo - she's quiet. From refugee family from Crescent valley. Doesn’t really talk.
Foxxglove Brightleaf. Gnome male child - 25yo - he's very curious. From farming family, likes to play with herbs
Makaela Farrie. Half-elf female - 15yo, coy. Likes to flirt.
Mondo. Half-Orc male - 9yo. He's already strong. From caravaneer family, just got into the Keep
Dandila Forkbeard - Female Dwarf - 20yo. Around other races she's quiet and studious. Again, since she's a girl, and not a "big strong boy" her family reports that , "She's always under our feet..."
The children will be provided a bedroll, a small work knife, and a small sack with spare clothes and nick-knacks
Torrynashkabbeth (Nick) HP:27/27 AC:18 F10: R:11 W:13 Saturday August 19th, 2023 7:20:29 AM
Torryn took note that half of the children were girls. It was therefore, likely a good thing that as the only female in the Argentium, she'd be present. Still, the notes were hardly inspiring. She expected that Makaela would take to dancing readily enough. As to the others, she was disinclined to make assumptions. For instance, perhaps Otto was perceived as 'lazy' because he didn't really like horses and would rather do something else. No doubt, their quirks and personalities would surface readily enough once away from their usual surroundings. One thing she did know, was that Spot would be coming along. She'd enjoy the walk and could carry lots. Torryn wouldn't be riding. That seemed inappropriate given that the children wouldn't be.
It was still strange to think of herself as 'all grown up', albeit she was fairly sure that Mole, Loryn and Gnubert didn't see her that way. Regardless, she was now expected to guide some folk, younger than her, along the right path. Maybe it would be fun. She resolved that it would be. There was no way that she was going to be a stuffy, old tutor!

Gnubert looks over to the mayor, "I can teach them about heaing, the Gods, and how to understand why body language, tone of voice, and inflection are important." The cleric looks over the list and shudders a bit inside. His parents were supportive, even when disappointed in Gnubert's choices, and allowed him to explore options until he found his place.
Mortimer Margrave (Stephen F.): ac:20/15/16. temp/hp:58/42. false life Sunday August 20th, 2023 9:14:38 PM
Mortimer sighs slightly after hearing Gnubert and Drack (thricely), that maybe something other than grave digging he could teach these children. It's possible that one of these hellions are misfits, touched by madness, feeling a desire to steal everything not nailed dow...! Mortimer's thought is suddenly interrupted by a faint wheezing from the shadows. He turns his head left and right to find the source. Seeing nothing, he mutters in a low, aggravated tone, "I can hear you breathing!"
------------------ Back behind the veil, beyond the Living Wold, in a place unknown, called the 'In Betwixt'. A group of ancestral Margraves listen in on the dinner attended by Mortimer. Among them Lord Ambrose, Agrippina, Murdoch, Mortdecai and others. With annoyance, they all turn to face Mortdecai.
Mortdecai shrugs and apologizes, 'sorry! in life i was a persistent mouth breather.'
'why must you now,' asks Agrippina?
Mortdecai replies, 'i suppose now it's a whimsy.' ------------------
Mortimer continues on with his thought ... or haunted by a family bloodline. If he can help these kids find ways to embrace their curses. With a little luck, he could introduce them to Wardd.

Drack read the list, contemplating which of them might feel inclined to learn to fight. As soon as the meeting was over, he planned to pick up a few wooden swords for them to practice with if they wished to learn.
AC 13 HP 39/39 Loryn Glitterfall; Dan K Monday August 21st, 2023 11:15:48 AM
Loryn lets the others take a first look at the list, figuring there would be some time this evening and such to get a good look and some resemblance of a game plan together. He glances at Ash with a smile, "No one is learning overly much in 5 days. This is a more like, what interests might you have beyond the confines of your family. You got all kinds of learned stuff in that head of yours. Heck, most of them probably can't read."
With a pursed lip, Loryn has a thought and directs it back to the mayor, "So this place we're heading to is new and has an overabundance of no supplies or prep work done? I need some basics on information. Situation on shelter, water source, firewood stocked, bedrolls and blankets, food."
To his friends, " Name Day is right around the corner, but if we can make a run out and back by horse and lizard, perhaps we can spend 1 day getting a eye on lay of land."
Loryn starts doing a mental calendar check on when Name Day is exactly.

Gnubert has no working knowledge of survival, after all he places his survival in the Gods, and accepts their direction. The gnome listens to the yammering of the boys, answering questions as quickly as he can, "yes frogs are very interesting, no mud does not belomg in your bed, showers are very important, for instance...no stop that we are going this way, because we are following Lorry, and Drack. No, I will not carry your pack for you. Yes, you are strong enough..."

Mole, while not the party leader, keeps the groups pace so that they arrive before dark. (Survival DC17)
Mole entertains the kids questions as much as he know about their inquiry. He has no problems talking about anything earth related (mud, dirt, rocks, baths, etc.) He too doesn't like baths and tells then the story of how he got his name, Mole, since he doesn't really smell of earth as much since spending most of his time in the town.
He will show then a couple of the sculptures he has been working on while they walk.

"Come on, Amber, let's go see if that is a carrot." Torryn said excitedly as if they were off to find gold. She duly skipped across to find the plant in question. Kneeling down, she looked at it quizzically.
"Don't tell anyone, but I'm really not very good at this." she added conspiratorially, but still with a broad smile. (Survival 11; so it looks like a carrot to Torryn.) She grabbed the plant and pulled it up to get a better look.
"Hmm, what do you think, Amber? Is that carroty enough?"
Once back with Spot and following the others she told Amber that she should grow her hair long. It was lovely hair and there'd be plenty of time for short hair when she was old - which wouldn't be for AGES! Torryn then darted away to start a game of "it" with the children: tagging any she could get near, telling them "You're It!" and darting gracefully away. This does nothing to instil any form of order but does at least stem most of the flow of questions.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 19 d20=9 ; Tuesday August 22nd, 2023 9:35:47 AM

As Makaela takes an interest him, he will respond as best he can. "I'm not really sure Makaela. i've spent most my life fighting and had no time for love. I suppose as far as I know, it would be someone tough and could take care of herself if the situation arrived, but yet could have fun when the time called for it. I'm not sure I will ever find out though, because I have pledged my life to Domi."
As the group contiues on, Drack knows little of survival, (check 9). And leaves the leading to those who know better, trusting his friends to find the way.
When Torry starts lightheartedly running around with the children, acting as if she were still one herself, he instantly frowned. It only took a few moments for the frown to turn to a smile as he watched them frolick and enjoy life. He will keep walking and and stay as alert as possible as they move along until one of his friends informs everyone that they have arrived.
"We need a watch Loryn. Ill take the middle of the night to help the spellcasters get their rest."
Drack will return to wearing his armor to sleep, and using a lay hands in the morning to remove the fatigue.

Loryn leaves the pace setting and navigation to Mole. The dwarf knew his way around the outdoors and would have them there before dark. For Mondo, Luka and Otto, Loryn just tries to keep the cats pointed in the right direction and up with the pace set by Mole. Topics of frogs, mud and whatever else generally comes up is met with a smile and good natured chuckle from the gnome. Curious questions are just fine with him. on the subject of baths Loryn responds that keeping fairly clean is a good habit, whether by bath or Casts Prestidigitation"By magic young ones" and Loryn promptly touches Otto and makes him clean.
Camp...Get tents up and ask the kids to divide into pairs. "Everyone, pick a camp buddy and you will go everywhere with your buddy. No one wanders alone to feed the bears" Loryn lets the children pick pals and aims them into tents. to situate themselves for a few.

OOC: I'm gonna be in Seattle until Monday ... i am taking my laptop with me, so I'm hoping to get my posts done on time
IC: Celeste and Amber both show interest in meeting Oslo once Ash presents him. The girls are heard murmuring about how soft his nose, paws, and ears are
When Drack doesn't respond to Makaela the way she intended, she pouts some, and gives him monosyllable answers
Mondo, Luka, and Otto all grimace when told that Loryn bathes ... Mondo even shivers a litter. At the mention of using magic and then seeing Loryn clean Oslo up, all three are eager to learn more, "Teach us that trick so "my" mother stops drowning me in the tub!!!" all three say in unison as though they had practiced it
Dandila does offer a smiling face to Mortimer, and then tries the rest of the day to make him smile and even laugh, if she can
Torry eventually is able to get all the kids involved in her game of "It," although Mondo gives out first, and wanders close to Mole ... he looks at him, and then around, "You don't say much do you? I don't either, well at times..."
CAMP: this area was already a glade, with a small stream running through one side. The fire pit has been dug and constructed by someone who knows their craft. There is also a good 2 weeks worth of wood and kindling stacked close at hand. The ground has been cleared, somewhat, the grasses and most of the sticks and rocks removed to make setting up tents easier.
The children are excited once they get to camp, and then they turn glum when they realize they have to help. They get excited again with dinner, and breaking into groups turns into another game of "It" as the girls all want to bed with Torry, and the boys seem to gravitate towards Ash and his rat, and when Otto and Luka hear that Drack brought swords, they both almost dog pile him wanting to use them on each other
All the boys seem to avoid Loryn, for fear he may 'bathe them'
Mondo attempts to stay up with Mole...whom the Half-Orc seems to find fascinating
Torrynashkabbeth (Nick) HP:27/27 AC:18 F10: R:11 W:13 Wednesday August 23rd, 2023 5:38:45 AM
Torryn quickly changed the rules of "It". Now it had to be played in silence. The first to speak was out of the game: out and threatened with latrine digging. It having been a long and exciting day for the children, Torryn did not expect them to stay awake long. Once they'd had their fill of running, she took the girls off upstream to wash and prepare for bed. Like Loryn, she 'cheated' and used her minor magic too, to clean dusty clothes and dry wet hair (Mending).
During her watch she practiced her 'dance steps' and then stretched extensively and impressively before settling down in the lotus position to focus her senses that she might undertake the remainder of her watch with greater efficacy, having relied totally on Manolo whilst she went through her training regimen.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 19 Wednesday August 23rd, 2023 9:30:52 AM
Drack just shrugs as Makaela gets pouty, and continues walking and watching. Drack is glad that Torry brought her horse in case anything happened, someone could get back fast.
When Otto and Luka show great interest in swordplay, Drack simply says "Tomorrow, if you wish, I will get out the swords, and try to teach you some of what i have learned in combat. There will be rules. First being that in practice, you never swing at the opponents head. Everything else can be healed. Tonight though boys, we set up camp, get some food and get some sleep. When the sun comes up is when our day starts tomorrow."

Loryn nods to Mole, He'd forgotten about that wondrous ring of his and doubly forgot to get one himself. The camp seemed good, fire going and plenty of wood. When he gets the chance after the children are in various stages of sleeping, he talks to Mole, "Ive been thinking that some basic survival skills would be just about the best thing for all of them to learn,. Tending a fire, plants to avoid, some direction sense and to that affect, I think you should discuss things each morning over breakfast. Give them some things to loook out for and such and then over dinner fire ask about their observations."

Gnubert helps where he can around the camp. The cleric knows this is not his forte, and tries to set the example by helping, and asking questions about setting, and starting a fire, cooking over a fire, and the like. Gnubert takes the time to pray to the gods, and when the girls go upstream he ensures no one follows, and stays within yelling distance.

Mole looks at the child. "No, I don't say much. Just when I have something to say. Observation...watching and listening to what's happening allows me to say things that important and allow me to add my wisdom to the conversation when needed. It is the same for anything you do. Watching and listening to your surroundings can help prevent you from getting yourself into a bad situation."
"That's a good idea." He says to Loryn. During the night, he will come up with a few things to discuss and bounce the ideas off of the others during the watches.

The night passes uneventfully (? - my brain says that wrong somehow) ... with some minor groans of "there's rocks under my bedroll" "he kicked me" "it's too hot" "it's too cold" etc
For Manolo Highlight to display spoiler: { You sneak around with only your friends the wiser, well the ones paying attention to you...you can tell that several people have been here recently, adult size fett, and you can see where they removed bushes, plants, and cut wood. As you move further out, like 100" away from the fire ... you see some markings on a tree that look fresh. Whatever the markings mean is beyond your knowledge.}
Morning: The kids all groan and moan about how bad they slept (although the amount of snoring would prove otherwise) and once they are dressed, are all wondering what's for breakfast...
OOC: This is what Steven and I came up with for Day 2, and y'all can RP what you'd like to do - "PCs can teach during the day about any Know skill, Survival, or anything that the PCs can reasonably come up with while being awake all day."
OOC2: Just finished packing for tomorrow and had a thought. DC for the kids learning stuff will range from 10 to 15 depending on the difficulty of the task. I know my kids could beat me at Playstation 2 games around that age ... and they knew how to spot marion berry plants, and avoid hornet nests and poison oak
Torrynashkabbeth (Nick) HP:27/27 AC:18 F10: R:11 W:13 Thursday August 24th, 2023 7:10:26 AM
Torryn arose early, as was her custom. She stretched and then undertook her regimen of 'dance moves'. All this before breakfast and before the children had stirred from their bedrolls. After breakfast she attended to Spot and invited those interested to help.
(Handle Animal: Basic)
There was even some riding, albeit simply being led slowly by the reins. Spot was BIG. It was a long way up off the ground when seated on her back! That alone could prove a daunting task for some, yet exciting for others.
Once breakfast was fully digested Torryn offered gymnastic-acrobatic training. However, this being Torryn, it wasn't s formulaic listen and copy. She got the children in a circle, and bade them clap and stamp in a rhythm whilst she and each child in turn undertook various simple moves. Thus it was more kin to capoeira than gymnastics. Simple rolls and breakfalls were the focus. The dynamic hands-free cartwheels and flick-flacks were for demonstration only.
Later after dinner, she sat cross-legged and imparted some knowledge of the triumvirate of gods that helped a Sacred Dancer hone her talents and not only see, but protect the beauty of the world: Flower, Kevintar and Eberyon.

Drack will oblige the boys that showed an interest in swords, and do his best to teach them as he was taught. making sure that there are no shots to the head or simply trying to hurt each other. He wants to try and teach them the art of warfare. Assuming they tire out after a couple hours, he will try and teach any interested how to handle a horse if Torry is ok with spot being used for a lesson.(handle animal 11). Other than that, he will try and teach about watching, listening, and paying attention to your surroundings. Always head up and looking around you at all that is taking place. (perception 14)

The night passes and Loryn heads to bed after his watch. He didn't mind bedrolls, but he preferred beds. Preferably, the big soft feather filled kind with pillows surrounded by walls and a roof over it. He would make do. Morning arrives and Loryn gets up a bit after sunrise to stoke up the fire and start breakfast. He purposefully does not get too far along to wait for the kids. As they emerge he takes a sip of hot tea and calls out, "Who likes to eat? A large grin on his face as they come running to find nothing ready but a lesson in learning to cook.
Loryn keeps the lesson very basic, he could build on concepts at each breakfast and dinner of the week, so nothing more today than what a good cooking fire looks like and what some good options are to cook. After breakfast, those who may have lacked in participation or attention during the cooking lesson, get hands on lesson of cleaning up. Couple big pots of water, soak, soap, rinse
The rest of the morning, Loryn lounges by the stream. For the afternoon, he sets prep for dinner and helps wrangle kids for any of the others that could use assistance

Ash wakes as early as possible, figuring sleep will be a rare commodity, and just to make use of the time. He relaxes his mind, and meditates before studying his spellbook.
He eats his breakfast with the others. When given a chance of teaching, Ash decides the best route is to teach the children of the woods themselves.
" Remember kids, knowledge is power and the dumb die young"
He'll explain different plants, poisonous ones, any animals or tracks they come around.

Gnubert watches his friends teach, and prepare to teach. When it is his turn he takes a moment, "Your senses are just as an important tool as a sword, or magical spell. For instance by taking a moment and studying a person you can tell whether they have a weapon hidden on thier person, or whether a door may be locked. Careful studying of a target, be it a person, or thing may save your very life." Perception DC 31

(ooc: sorry for the lack luster posting this week. just wore out from work. hell month continues.)
Mortimer immediately rises like the dead when the magical words, "who likes to eat," are spoken. Otherwise not a sound or audible breath is heard from him during the night. Even sleeping in his chain shirt does nothing to fatigue him. He's been mistaken for dead on more than few occasions. That was a rough morning, waking up in the city dump, he thinks.
When trying to decide what he could teach the youngin's, Torryn had already started teaching lessons in acrobatics, his best skill. No one can dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge like the ultimate dodger. Not to mention jump, jolt, jerk, jog and jump. Of course, he had other skills, but he doesn't believe the parents would be too pleased if he taught those.
He listens in on Torryn's lessons and attempts a few maneuvers himself. (Acrobatics: 30, 29 and 17)

Celeste and Amber both fail miserably at dancing, but are very exuberant nonetheless, Foxxglove and Makela seem to grasp the basics as well, Mondo's moves are more martial in style, like he is following a kata in his head, and Dandila smiles as she and Torry dance together
Drack's lessons show that Otto, Fixxglove, and Mondo all show minor skills with a "blade"
Loryn's impromptu class ends up with all the children showing some small skill with cooking, or at least making sure the food doesn't burn. Of all of them Mondo is the one who is the least skilled.
Ash's class draws the attention of all the children... Otto & Makela seem to know some plants already (mainly ones that can be used for meals), Celeste understands what Ash is saying, but would rather watch butterflies flitting around the glade
Gnubert's group is an interesting one, Otto, Luka, Celeste, Makaela, and Dandila seem to catch on quick about observing whats going on around them ... the others, well, not so good
Foxxglove, Mondo, and Dandila seem to grasp what Mortimer teaches them, the others, not so well ...
of all the children, Celeste and Otto are the only ones who end up with bumps and bruises that will leave marks ...
By dinner time, the children are all tired, but express interest and thanks for what the party has shown them ...

Torryn too, had enjoyed her day. It felt good to be out of town and see the beauty of the wilderness, albeit they really weren't that far from town. She idly wondered why moths might come visit the camp later as she indulged in more languorous stretching.

"About time to wake the next shift." And quickly adding much quieter, "I think we have some company moving about."

Mortimer finds himself in the dark, wandering the halls of a vast interior space. These corridors seem familiar but he can't place it. He enters the next door he comes to. The room is a grand library. The walls are covered with shelves laden with all sorts of dusty tomes. He takes the first book he finds resting on a table. He leather binding feels odd to the touch. The title, written in High Woldian, reads, 'Forbidden Rites.' He immediately stuffs it into his haversack. Should be worth a pretty copper, he thinks. There's another ... this one is titled, 'Grimorium Verum'. A wicked smile stretches across his face. He immediately stores it away as well.
While he sleeps on his bedroll, Mortimer smiles.

Loryn spies the goblins and the dogs and does not like the thought that there are more circling around, but right now he cannot do much about that. "I'll get 'em to move Drack" Loryn quickly gestures through a mildly intricate pattern and casts Stinking Cloud on the lot of them
A sickly green and yellow cloud of vapor roils about the goblins and dogs, spreading out 20' in all directions. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet, leaving nothing but the nauseated sounds of goblins and dogs to mark the creatures within.
Fort DC 19 Living creatures in the cloud become nauseated. This condition lasts as long as the creature is in the cloud and for 1d4+1 rounds after it leaves. (Roll separately for each nauseated character.) Any creature that succeeds on its save but remains in the cloud must continue to save each round on your turn
Drack is concerned about running into the trees by himself so asks Loryn for help in bringing the Gobbo's to him
Loryn (probably grinning) creates a cloud bank of noxious fumes (see map)
Mortimer's dream is interrupted by being shook, by Ash of all people ... with one word on his lips "TROUBLE"
Torry has the girl's make a nest to hide in/under, while Torry heads out to admonish those who woke everyone up

Gnubert stirs at Drack's yelled warning (Perception DC 18)The cleric grabs his mace. Gnubert peaks his head outside of the tent, "Kids stay in the tents, and for the Gods sake don't try and help!" Gnubert fully steps out and moves to AA 12. Gnubert sees the dogs attacking Drack and cast Soundburst centered at AH 14. The gnome looks around in the direction of the dancing lights (Perception DC 21) in an attempt to find the other attackers.
Soundburst: You blast an area with a tremendous cacophony. Every creature in the 10 foot radius burst takes 1d8 points of sonic damage and must succeed on a Fortitude (DC21) save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. Creatures that cannot hear are not stunned but are still damaged.

After being shook, Mortimer's eyes open wide and dart in Ash's direction. Upon hearing of trouble, a quick sniff to the air (Perception: 21) reveals the unmistakable odor. It causes him to grit his teeth and hiss, "Gobbiess!"
He grabs his mithral sickle, next to his bedroll, and tumbles acrobatically out of the tent and rolls onto his feet (Acrobatics: 33) with a single fluid movement. His uncanny endurance allows him to sleep in his chain shirt without becoming fatigued.
He spots Loryn being attacked and he immediately turns to face his attacker. He mutters a word or two of power, scoops up a handful of shadow and sends a volley of dark bolts at the goblin responsible.

(OOC: I would say that this was a full move action; so it seems an attack in this round would not be permissible.)
Torryn needed no weapon to fight the hideous animal before her. She would her heel into its head. That's what she told herself, determinedly ignoring the fact that she'd forgotten to pick up her spear.

Loryn visually tracks the goblins coming out of the cloud and winces as the pair of arrows slide across his shoulder and thigh. The Lightning Bolt from Ash, lights up the night with a flash and Loryn turns to concentrate on the other goblin. Loryn leaves the Lights where they are and moves up between the tens behind Drack and Torrynashkabbeth.
With another arcane gesture, Loryn sends a tight spread of Magic Missiles at G2 Dmg 10

Mole changes his shape and slips into the ground Highlight to display spoiler: { By this point G2 and G8 are dead. However, there are other enemies along the AM11 to AM19 line, at least at this point }

Torryn blinked in surprise. Drack had dispatched both creatures with astonishing speed. She was about to applaud his impressive efforts when an arrow shot past her ear. Turning she saw that the newly arrived goblin was surprisingly close to camp. Too close. That arrow might have hit one of the children! It might, but she felt it unlikely given the hasty defences put in place. Whatever the outcome, he wasn't going to be doing that again. She raced over to him, allowing Drack to take on the oncoming 'stinky-mutt'. She was definitely going to use her magic to clean up once this fight was over. Her thoughts were fleeting, as was often the case with Torryn; so they swiftly returned to the matter at hand: striking down the goblin.
She spun to slam the back of her fist into the side of his head.

With Morty and Ash also targeting the beast in front of her, Torryn could only watch in awe at the potency of their attacks. If this creature survived it would be very upset! It was a good thing then that she was there to occupy it. She wove her arms defensively, as Agratha had taught her readying an attack should it be needed.

Seeing the other sickly goblins beginning to emerge from the stink cloud, Mortimer decides he needs to quickly finish off this dog in front of him and move around Torryn to the center of the group.
(Mortimer defensively casts Shadow Bolt at GD4. Concentration: 13. Damage: 7, pathetic all around!)
IF his Shadow Bolts, as weak as they were, actually kill the dog (GD4), he will move around Torryn in front of the other dog (GD5). IF they don't kill, he uses his acrobatics to move around without drawing attacks of opportunity (Acrobatics: 27 vs. GD4's CMD).

Following the last bout of combat, and with people covered in blood, the party looks around.
Mole pokes all the dead doggs and goblins around him to make sure none are still alive and lying in wait
Torry watches as the two goblins run off, then turns to check on her friends Highlight to display spoiler: { You do hear/see something happening on the far side of the camp, behind the orange and red tents }
Shaking his head at all the dead dogs and goblins around him, Drack turns and moves to where Loryn and Gnubert have the kids corralled, only noticing that the boys sound upset at missing watching the fighting
Loryn sees movement at the far end of the camp and directs his Dancing Lights to move
Mortimer, having enjoyed the skirmish moves back to where Gnubert and Loryn are
For Mortimer and Loryn Highlight to display spoiler: { At this point you two are the only ones that can make out there is a large amount of Goblins and more Goblin Dogs massing behind the orange and red tents }

Since he only Moved 20', Drack will also cast Divine Favor
Torryn turned and moved quickly. (Double move) She had no additional light to call upon, but could see well in the gloom, such that the ambient light really wasn't an issue for her. There seemed to be plenty of noise coming from behind the tents. She resolved to unleash a Fey Spark next to hurt one before it could close. Then she hoped to hurt them further.
She idly wondered how Drack even managed to jog in armour, let alone run. She valued her speed, agility and magical protection too much to forsake them for armour. It was academic really; she likely lacked the strength to even move wearing such heavy equipment.

Manolo moves up close to the center of camp, evaluating the enemy positions and strengths - Highlight to display spoiler: { These goblins seem to be armed with clubs, daggers and are carrying maybe bags in their offhands }
Gnubert alerts his friends, directing them to the Orange and Red tents, which seem to be the goblins’ targets Highlight to display spoiler: { These goblins look the same, but seem to be actually using tactics of some kind }
Loryn, who feels the battlefield isn’t bright enough, conjures a cloud of golden glitter, covering the largest mass of goblins and dogs … all that is missing is a disco ball
Mortimer buffs himself, and moves forward, looking forward to ending more goblins lives
Drack moves himself into a defensible position, weapon at the ready, and encourages Loryn to ”LIGHT THEM UP! he then buffs himself with alittle bit of magic
Torry spins, and dances her way to the other side of camp. She contemplates how Drack is able to move so quickly while he’s encased in metal
The Goblins response
The group of G9, G10, G11, and G12 all fire their bows at Drack: G10 sinks and arrow into drack for 2 damage
The group of G13, G14, G15, G16 all fire their bows at Mortimer, who is kinda scary looking to them: G16 gets the closest to Mortimer, sinking and arrow between the Sorcerer’s feet

Torryn invoked her Fey Shield. It seemed that she'd have need of it given the number of creatures being arrayed against them. (AC adjusted in header). She then moved forward to stop a group from flanking the group or attacking the tents. She didn't actually know where the children were. Had they been moved. She'd left the girls in her tent. they'd improvised some makeshift defences against arrows, but hopefully someone else had taken more proactive steps to ensure their safety. Her 'proactive steps' would hopefully see her place a boot heel in some ugly faces!

Mortimer looks down at the arrow between his feet then turns his gaze at the goblins with a sneer. He then launches his himself at his foes, charging at the nearest goblin (G13).

Torryn was determined: determined to hold the flank. There'd be no shortage of foes, but she was elusive and for them, troublesome. The problem was that there were too many for her to attack at once. If they ignored her the tents would be ripe for the taking - excepting for her friends protecting them. Still, whilst she was little, she was not easily ignored. She intended to grab their attention by calling up a Fey Spark, to attack at range. Then, was they rushed forward, she'd get technical and punch them in the face! She was pleased that she didn't have to articulate this 'plan' as it sounded much better in her head than it would out loud.

Drack takes a move and a move to Q13, laying hands swiftly upon himself for 7 as he does. after noticing Gnubert moving kids to the blue tent.
"You have them all Gnubert? These foul things shall not have a single one while i am still breathing. Time to kill Some Goblins. I am going to take the party to them. Throw distance spells if you can, but watch the kids." At this moment, Drack wishes he knew Goblin so he could insult them in their tongue, but in a few seconds, he would let his sword do his speaking.

Mortimer calls back, "Manolo ... ya joinin' us any time soon? yeah!"

A huge group of goblins has tried to swarm the camp. Thanks to quick thinking by Loryn, a good chunk of them are now blinded and covered in gold glitter.
Ash points his finger at G14 … and sends three magical bolts slamming into the goblin, killing it in its place
Torry invokes some minor magics and makes her way closer to the melee
Mortimer charges G13 … hitting him soundly, but Mortimers weapon seems to have slid off the goblins armor … Mortimer does smell fresh urine nearby
Gnubert finally gets all the kids into one tent, and then calls out to his deity to aid in protecting his friends and the kiddos
Manolo moves into position, keeping an eye out for any arrows coming his way, and keeping tabs on the goblins with the sacks
Drack heals himself on the fly, checking in with Gnubert, “Shepard of cats and Children”
Loryn casts another swath of glitterdust … catching several goblins in the mix
G14, saves, and then dies from Ash’s bolts
G13 saves, and then pees himself as Mortimer rushes up to him and slams his weappon into the ppoor defenseless goblin

Torryn steppes to the side that she might better execute her spinning kick. Her heel whipped around to crack the side of the goblin dog's head with satisfying force; satisfying for her - not the dog. Yet as satisfying as it was, she doubted it be sufficient to drop it, so instantly spun into a ready position that she might effectively thwart any attack or attempt to press past. If only she'd remembered her bow! She was always forgetting it. Sometimes it felt like Spot had a better memory than she did. She reconsidered that. No, it was most times. The bow was in the tent, along with her spear. She would rely on her hands and feet as Agratha had taught her.

Mortimer swings again and connects with the hopeless goblin. The painful squeal of the wretched creature, and spray of its filthy blood, was satisfying enough. However, he feels aggravated by the fact his strikes are way too feeble. Mortimer has a sense that he should be able to simply wave his hand and the entire horde of goblins should start bleeding profusely from all their many various holes. Where is this bleed magic, he thinks.

OK, lets start with, who has their stuff in which tents, and the kiddos are all in the pink or orange tent??
Torry performs a spinning kick and smashes the doggie (GD12) in the head. The blow knocks the dog back a few feet, and it has to shake its head a few times in order to see again (it’s very wobbly on its feet)
Drack attacks one of the blinded goblins (9G) - dropping it in its tracks
Mortimer attacks the soiled goblin (G13) damaging it again, but not enough to drop it, although it looks wobbly at the moment
Ash fires an arrow of acid at GD12, the doggie in front of Torry. It yelps and then drops dead, with acid leaking from its side.

No one goblin is worth this many swings of his sickle, he thinks. Impatient for a quick kill, Mortimer steps back (5ft-Step to P20) grumbling words of power. A volley of Shadow Bolts streak out at both goblins in front of him (G13 and G15). Each one lands with a thud.
