</x-tab>If we camp in the
wood Arawn will use his Forest Survival help to find an area that might
provide cover for the party to avoid ambush/spot danger early. On watch
he'll use the elven ability to Hide in Forest and use the magical spy
glass periodically to try and spot danger early.

Arawn nodded when King Strata shared information regarding
the Grundwergen along with his suggestion for execution. The creatures,
when left to their own devices, preferred to keep to themselves. However,
they posed a great danger to the Sidh and Elder forces in the area and a
blight on the animal life. He didn't relish the idea of execution but
knew that a failure to do so would lead to the unnecessary death of
others.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Seeing both Kimis and Opus badly wounded the alfar joined
Z'leyra as she tended to their wounds.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I'll see to your wounds. But we need to be more
careful, all of us. I need to ration what magic I have left as we've yet
to discover what lies ahead of us on our search for the cave," he
said in a thoughtful and caring manner.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Barbosa watches the Diumagi being treated and leans over to
whisper to Dorhak. “They have those red eyes. Think...they are
related?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the spell is explained to the Diumagi, Kimis grips her
battle axe handle in her lap. She squints at the Alfar concerned or
agitated. Opus places a hand on her leg and the anger
soothes. Probably fearful of strange magic.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
In moments the green mist falls, but it does take a bit
longer to activate probably due to the world barriers/ After the
mist falls the two are fully healed.

The execution and healing done he then began to scour the
ground with the eye of a skilled tracker.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Their lair might be nearby if anyone wishes me to
track their path here."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Indeed their trail would be easy to follow with the large
tracks, fur and slime. But no one seems to do so. Dorhak
doesn't care age is little matter for dwarves and Alfar. But the
humans might complain. Plus that Vily might get word and seeing
them in the woods again could be bad.

As the party continued forward Arawn took point,
disappearing into the forest as only elves could. He scoured the area
along the way, keenly on the hunt for ambush, hidden lairs, and tracks
that the party might come across.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When Unali asked to study the cube Arawn examined the other
items - the crystal triangle and the small book. He searched them for any
markings or hidden compartments. When Unali was done with the yellow cube
he did the same with that item, hoping his training and the magic of the
topaz would reveal any hidden lock. Lacking that he considered attempting
to touch his magical sapphire to the items but held off for now.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He chose to focus on the journal instead, hoping it might
provide information regarding the other items and the dead being's
seeming mission.
</b>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As Arawn weaves in and out of the forest, Barbosa looks at
Dorhak. “The one needs to use a bush often. Must drink a
lot. But he seems to disappear from our view a lot huh?”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 9:12 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Deciding to take the opportunity of a clear view as provided
by the open plain Arawn decided to pull forth the magical spyglass. Using
his skills as a navigator he attempted to gauge the general direction the
underground silo/spy station might have been facing to narrow down his
search of the mountain range. He peered through it, scanning first the
plain and then the mountains, the latter for any sign of eagle rock or
gathering of eagles.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Z'leyra, as an eagle shaman do you think you might be
able to sense or call for any eagles? They might be able to help us find
Eagle Rock."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn scans the plains and sees little there is a large
group of deer at one point seeming to drink at a water hole about 3 miles
west of the area. The magical glass seems to have low low level
magic on it. Giving only about 4 miles of good vision.
Clearly the man was not looking for or at the mountains. Too far.
At 8-10 miles away they seem to be now only 4-5 miles closer. But even
that the detail is smudged from the blue haze of clouds and green
mountain forests. This confirms what the King said earlier.
The silo was spying on the magical cave they were sent to form middle
world. That Is to the south not north. So who would
anticipate their – or others- arrival? Was the man a sentry from
the ancients who setup the portals?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Sadly little detail is seen on the mountains at this
distance. Slightly to right and east looks like possible jugged
cliffs that may be cave worthy. Maybe once the party is half way
across the plain they can pinpoint a direction.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra considers the mountains that look far 8-10 miles
away. Is her abilities able to reach that far? She might find
forest eagles here but would they go to the mountains or would she need
mountain eagles?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As they leave the area of the dead Grundwergen, Raddok is
very relieved to be able to begin to take deep breaths again without the
foul stench of the slimy bodies nearby. He keeps an eye out for movement
or anything that seems odd or strange, as he, Dorhak & Barbosa follow
as the lead group behind Arawn's lead. As time goes by, he gradually
relaxes concerning immediate danger, but he still doesn't know what to
expect in this strange place & remains vigilant and uneasy.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When they pause at the edge of the forest, & Raddok sees
the open plains/prairie lands before them & the distant mountains, he
has a brief flashback of home & a painful punch of homesickness that
quickly vanishes when he thinks of his father's absence from his growing
years.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok admires Arawn's thought of eagles, & smiles at
the idea,a feeling of hope growing. But when Barbosa asks Dorhak about
whether or not they should take a break, he gets worried again. He asks
Arawn, “Excuse me, Arawn, but what was the time difference here in this
place again? If 8 or so hours have passed here, how much time has passed
back home? Can we risk more than an hour or two of rest at any time? I
know naps will help, but - time is passing.” Looking back at the Captain,
he apologizes. “Forgive me Captain, but I've forgotten & need to know
or I will get distracted by worrying – I have a girl back home, you
know – and I miss her. I'm only human,” and he smiles.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the party murmurs of the red eye creatures they finally
take a break at the forest edge.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea just shakes her head at how she missed these vile
creatures. If she just had her magics, it would have been a much
different story. Once they see that it takes magic weapons to destroy the
last one, it makes more sense to her.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
If she had her relic out she'd probably detect it. But
she did find that elf and party never did. Those elves can hide
well in forest and she found them!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Nothing for her to do, so Fremea takes a few minutes to
relax again before taking off. Listening to the group starting to not be
ok with direct commands, which really none of them should ever be,
hopefully this short bearded one will start to understand that. She takes
off again to scout.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Reaching the edge of the woods, she stops and puts on her
best protective gear from the sun - that doesn't seem to be there, yet
still makes her feel uncomfortable. She pulls out her spyglass to look
around, using the full magics to see where she is supposed to be going
to.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"We've been awake and active for over half of a full
day. Our people were wounded and need to recover some. I think we
will camp here, in the woods edge, tonight. It should provide us
some cover." Dorhak tells the party.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The dwarf is quite familiar with the lower world, with many
stories told by the other dwarves about the conditions here.
"I don’t want to dally, though. Per my reckoning, I think a
full month has passed since we went through the portal. That’s a long
time for our ship to wait, and a long time for you humans."
</b>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Arawn an Pyandalgor, you take first watch.
Fremea, Kiet, and Opus with Kimis second watch, then me, Raddok, and
Unali third, with Barbosa, Z’leyra and Tisa for final." He
looks over to the Bes and says "Your majesty and your bodyguard
should rest. No watch for you unless you want to."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"If anybody needs to use Z's language teacher, so
everybody in a group can warn each other, please do so."
</b>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 9:21 pm]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As camp is setup and wood is collected after Arawn found a
decent place about 50 from plains edge, Unali approaches Arawn.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She asks to see the books and that odd ink well again.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Arawn, whoever was in that tower must have had a way
to communicate. Why keep these records in the journal. But I can't figure
out why you would need an ink well that cannot contain ink at all.
Somehow, these items must serve some other function."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
First Unali places the “ink well” over the journal found in
chest – uncoded one. On top of it and nothing happens. She
flips to page 1 then same thing nothing. She flips to last page and
nothing.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She does same for the Journal found in box inside
tree. Nothing on cover. Nothing on first page. Last page
nothing. First blank page once its placed on the page a flash of
red sparks. The ink well remains in place but both can see coded
text printed on the page. It fills up the page then next page to
half way down. Both look at each other and grin.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
But the text is still coded.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn casts a decode spell on max but the text remains
coded. He knows whoever made it or cast the enchantment is powerful even
more so than some in group.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn wonders if that was delayed text or real time.
Based on amount probably delayed and not real time. So maybe the
man was going to be warned about the witches or something else?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 2:27 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Hours later darkness falls around the Lower World.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
[Time: 5:18 am MW time]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Last shift party is nearing time to break up camp.
Z'leyra is on duty south of camp on patrol. She spots and hears
boars in the bushes. She pulls her shield and sword out just in case to
deflect those boar tusks. In the darkness she spots a adult female
boar and a cub. They are tearing the ground up for probably
food. She considers killing them for meat. But it would take
even more hours to prepare and eat. Party still has rations.
She scares the boars away and toward the west.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
By then the party is up and breaking camp. Even though
it is night the party is fully rested and ready to move on. Those
who can see in darkness can take point and lead the party. Sadly
though the spyglasses will not be so good at night. As the party
enters the plains the party sees a odd sky of overcast and no
stars. It is almost like a northern lights thing. Flashes of
green, yellow, pink and light flash on the clouds. It is unclear if
atmosphere lights or lightning?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update....Fri/Sat?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: I was
going to do more but its 11 and a bit late now. So we'll move over
plains and see what's gonna happen. Was waiting for info from
Dorhak on how long to stay got that Saturday late but too late to finish
update so why delayed. Not his fault. So schedule will change
soon. This is my last 5 days off. Next week my last 3 days
off. Then its 5 day work weeks till September. So I hope to
do 2 updates a week. But don't count on it. :) I may do a update
sooner since I know what will happen next. But its late now.
