Theaton looks at her and says, "I believe that while small and not very powerful you can tell me where those that do evil are in this forest and the area around it. You can be a scout and let me know where those who do evil are at. You can help me tremendously and I will make sure that the area around your house is always safe. I will always try to get nice pretty things for you to enjoy too."

Svetlana is happy to let Archival and Mykael use trade credit towards renting the rooms. She offers Mykael a refund of the cash he just paid.

Theaton, the Grig replies, "Well, there's a problem. We've been watching you for a while. We saw you remove the bandits at the river ford, depose the kobolds at the radish patch, kill the big frogs at the spring, and the bear at the elk cave, as well as disarm all the unmarked traps in the forest. We don't know much beyond that. The monsters to the south are more dangerous. And we dare not venture out of the forest, there aren't enough hiding spots."
The wolf's fur is often frazzled and mangy, but whenever you groom him, you notice a swirling white pattern along his back.

Zork, Mykael and Grogdrol throw on some heavy clothes and boots and head off to do some pest control half a mile away from the fort. The tarantulas are the size of dinner plates but unable to penetrate the heavy clothing and you crush them under heel and sword only expending 3 bullets from the dwarf's stash.
It starts raining at midday and the hunt becomes easier as the tarantulas emerge from their burrows looking for prey and mates only to find death at the hands of adventurers.
Zork gains 1200, Mykael gains 800, and Grogdrol gains 400 experience.

Archival gets soaked as the rain comes at midday but pushes forward. He's forced to camp at midday at the northernmost tip of the forest.

Fireday 19 Desnus

Early in the morning, as the same 3 adventurers are out doing pest control on a field near the road, you see a man on horse approaching the fort. Unlike the couple of traders that have passed through, this one has no wagon. On closer inspection he wears a white hooded robe and a leather vest over it, with a carved sword amulet hung around his neck.
He introduces himself, "Greetings, I am Brother Haines, a cleric of Iomedae, here to see a Mr Brewmor. Is that Oleg's post up ahead?"

Archival continues onwards and in the late afternoon, comes across the grove and the cairn. It seems to be undisturbed from how you left it, rocks strewn around. As the fauns are summoned, they lift and the three magical auras come into view. They are centred on items but not on the skeletal bodies inside the pit. There lie two bodies with a spear, shield and ring as well as a non magical set of rusty, rotting studded leather armour.
The shield and spear both have +1 magical enchantments, the ring is carved from a green wood and depicts an eel and frog locked in a tangle. The ring has the transmutation aura, but Archival isn't sure of it's exact purpose.
It gets dark soon, how does Archival prepare for sleep when alone?

Out of Character: After selling the Hat of Disguise as well as the spare chainmail (I thought Zork would use it), everyone should have the original 67 gold, plus 82 gold and 80 in trade credit, plus 13.5 gold for the chainmail. 7.5 more goes into the party fund.

KNtoran, you can continue to have the discussion with the Grig despite everyone else advancing one day forward. You can add a Diplomacy and Sense Motive roll as well.

Mykael stabs downward and impales a tarantula on his sword then looks up and sees the white robed man approaching. Scraping the spider from his sword he sheathes it as the man approaches and walks forward a few steps to meet him. He sees the sword amulet and it almost appears to brighten as the man approaches or was it simply the way the light caught it? Mykael bows slightly when the man introduces himself.

"That is indeed Oleg's trading post" he says in reply and nods toward the outpost "And I am Mykael Brewmore. I am pleased that your temple received my message. Please allow me to escort you the rest of the way to the trading post where I would be most honored to purchase a meal for you and pay for your room and board."

The Second says...

Out of Character: Zork now has 9225 experience.

In Character: Zork watches the magical items looking to see who intends to claim them but he says nothing though he does envy the shield not yet being part of his own inventory.

When setting up camp I rely upon the incredible perception of Caelum. He looks for any tracks and we don't camp near trails of creatures that might be a threat, including foot and hoof prints.

I will not wield the spear or shield, nor will I wear the ring, until I have properly identified them. I will strap the spear and shield to my backpack and place the ring in my backpack after adding my arcane mark to them, as I have done with all of my other equipment previously.

The next two days, if no events occur, I will continue attempting to identify the items in the morning and then pack-up camp to ride back toward Oleg's.

Out of Character: This could take a few days. Not being intelligence based really tanks my Spellcraft score!

Theaton will tell her, "If you say south has the danger then we can head south to see about riding the land of the issues south. Do you have contact with the lady at the river? Will she assist us with the knowledge of the area touched by her river? I hope that with cleaning the area you will be able to roam more unseen and safer. Here is two gold pieces for the info you have given to me." Theaton hands the gold to her.

Game Master says...

Out of Character: Sorry I should have clearly marked who sees what. Unless Zork is Scrying on Archival 50 miles to the west.

Theaton on 18th

The Grig replies to Theaton "Oh yes, I know Bal, but I don't get to see her often. She does know her river well and has seen its changes over the centuries. She was friends with the fey of the lake where her river ends out in the hills to the south.

"However since the bandits moved in to their fort, she's lost contact and the glowing orbs that float over the lake are scary. She knows more details, but she's shy and you'd be very lucky to find her again."

Zork and Grogdrol on 19th

The hunt for the sizable tarantulas continues despite Mykael heading off back to Oleg's with the priest. The firs field is now devoid of the creatures, but the second field still needs to be cleared.

Zork gains 1,200 again but hits a cap equal to the XP Theaton has: 10,009. Grogdrol we are on the fast track, so you should level up at 1,300 XP. But I'm not sure how you got so much (The werewolves gave 720, but ultimately it's my fault for not updating my spreadsheet). If you're still level 1 you gain 400, or level 2 you gain 600. I'm so sorry if I'm confusing.

Mykael on 19th

The wrinkled old man bends down to push Mykael back up to a stand. "First lesson," he starts, "Stand proud and be a shining example, brother-candidate." He smiles as the meaning of the sentence dawns on Mykael.

"First Sword Knight Anarrow sensed more than just church property found or a dream interpretation in your letter. A lesser man would have taken the items, and an unbeliever wouldn't have written of his fervor in such passionate script. She believes we may have a new member to witness the inner workings of our faith.

"I will have a short rest at the post before I do a little introductory testing of you. I will need you to lie down and rest as I prepare the room around you. But for now, tell me about yourself."

(I need a bunch of different saving throws from Mykael)

Archival on 20th

The new day dawns to a light shower, but as the day progresses, the rain annoyingly gets heavier. After thinking about it for a number of hours, Archival comes to the conclusion that the last item is a Ring of Swimming. Also to clarify, the shield is light and wooden.
Towards the very end of the day Caelum spots three men walking slowly bu purposefully around the forest edge. They are 800 feet away when sighted through the rain.

Out of Character: So I'll try to do a mass approval of character sheets in the character thread tomorrow. There should be 4, right?

Lord of the Dance says...

Out of Character I had also gained 400 from the stag during the introduction, I had miscalculated by 200 though, so it was 1520 before the second off day, which after that would give me a total of 2120 correct? Also, I will use the remaining 3 days for experience as well unless something major happens.
