The sergeant adds Lem and Weylyn to the 'list' of people on watch. Menik, on the other hand, cannot both stand watch and get proper rest for spell recovery in the restricted timeframe, so the sergeant adds one more White Cloak solider to the remaining watch, bringing the number of sentries to 3 at all times. The rest of the troupe can rest through the night.

Morning comes. Or, more accurately, you are woken before dawn with the intent of being moving by the time the rooster crows. There is a bit misty fog this morning, although it is likely to burn off pretty quickly once the sun gets above the horizon. Unfortunately for Lem, food preparation options are rather limited due to the lack of a campfire.

Commander Jacobson
The commander gives a final run-down to the troops. "If you have any final preparations, make them now. We are but a few miles from the edge of the enemy's position. Macabee, Lem, Weylyn, Menik and myself will form a command cadre right behind the primary battle line to give us the most flexibility to move up and down the line and lend aid wherever it is needed. Remember, we're looking for their leader and the device. All the rest is just gravy for the goose. Stick to your shield buddies and keep sharp. With that, the White Cloaks all pair up, each polearm fighter paired to a shieldsman for protection, and extra shieldsmen on the flanks. Although lacking in military precision, they still seem reasonably seasoned.



[sblock=preparations]I have Menik casting armor. Anything else?[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Weylyn casts Corruption Resistance on himself (10 hour duration)[/sblock]

Menik

Menik tells Andreas Costas "I'd prefer to know more about the enemy before charging in. Do you know anything of their weapons? Spells?"

After finishing his morning meditation, the elven wizard prepares some new spells. (ooc: May still modify if Andreas has more info.)

He tells Lem "Knowing the way you like to get into the middle of the action, and our limited healing, I'd like to cast a spell on you that might provide a little extra protection, though I think your own gear partially provides the same effect."

[sblock=OOC]If Lem agrees, Menik will cast mage armor on him. It should give him a net +2 to AC.[/sblock]
Menik also casts mage armor and false life on himself. (ooc: [roll0] temp hp.)

He's surprised to see Weylyn cast a spell. He tells the man "I had not realized that you are a spellcaster as well as a warrior. What magical abilities will you bring to the fight?"

[SBLOCK=OOC/Actions/Rolls]I'm actually not overly happy with my choice of All Around Vision, but I'm playing it straight - since I didn't retrain it when I leveled him and we've already started the show I'll stick with it until next level up. Who knows - it might end up being useful...[/SBLOCK]

The only preparation Lem makes is to ensure his two bottles of cooking wine are looped close along his belt. As some of the others stare to see what he is about, he only gives a wide smile and says, "Just a little trick I'm setting up. Doubt I'll need it, but if I do it'll be a nice surprise."

OOC: Thanks for the mage armor! Does it stack with my Ring of Protection +2 or Bracers of Armor +2?

Menik tells Weylyn "Hmm ... that does sound weird, though I guess it could come in handy if someone tries to sneak in back of you. Looks like we all have tricks that might come in handy. I kind of hope we get to see Lem's wine trick."

ooc: I guess we're ready to move on.

DT: The mage armor provides a +4 armor bonus, which doesn't stack with the bracers of armor +2, resulting in a net increase to AC of +2 (or AC 28). The ring gives a deflection bonus.

Questioned about the Boggards, the scout, Andreas Costas, turns to Menik Speaking with an air of distaste for the creatures, details some of his knowledge on them. "Yes," he begins, "I've had dealings with these creatures before. In a nutshell, they are sapient, man-sized frogs, brutal and nasty. Although they are an intelligent race, they're not terribly smart nor are they technologically advanced. For example, their favored weapons are pointy objects on the ends of a variety of long sticks or bones. It may not look like much, but they are strong and hit hard. They also wear similarly primitive armors."

Pulling a bow from his shoulder bag, Costas begins to string it, continuing his informational chat, "Being large frogs, they can do the sorts of things you'd expect. They can jump and swim well, hold their breath for a long time, they have a sticky tongue and an unnerving croak the likes of which no normal frog can muster. As mentioned, they see in the dark well. They do not normally use arcane magic, but they are known to have a variety of naturalistic divine casters, and their leader is a priest king, which makes him exceptionally dangerous." The scout works the pull of the bow several times and then looks about, checking the area that used to be a camp. Seemingly satisfied, the man looks back up, "So, does that cover everything?"

About that time, the Sergeant speaks up. His voice not up to his usual booming volume, he orders, "Alright, forward easy. We have a job to do." With that, the group beings to head to target. "It should be about an hour, but keep your eyes open every step of the way. We don't want any surprises."

[sblock=Buffs Cast and stuff]Weylyn: Corruption Resistance
Menik: Mage Armor (+4 AC), False Life (+12 HP)
Lem: Mage Armor (+2 AC)

Unless there is some further business, we're headed straight into the 'encounter area', such as it is.
[/sblock]

OOC: I'm ready to move on.

[sblock=Loss of game records]OK, it appears the game has reverted to an earlier version. I don't have anything but memory go to on, although pm has a few recent posts. Unfortunately, I have nothing in the way of backups, as I didn't know these things could be used. I cleared my browser cache on Sunday, in part because I was wondering of the problem with ENWorld was my machine. And I don't get most email updates because it clogs my email.

If people post what they have found, I will stitch what I can together, bridge it with a descriptive text so it's not quite so abrupt and we'll get back to playing.[/sblock]
