As Mythra completes the ritual, his mind momentarily floods with a vivid image of a thin, wiry man with scraggly blonde hair and heavy stubble. He sits at a simple wooden desk in a wooden shack as he writes the letter that now rests in Mythra's hands. His grey eyes are haunted and nervous, and...

The group of men Alexia approaches seem a bit wary to begin with, especially as they take a dim view of kal'Tarron's scrutiny. With her open and friendly approach, though, she soon wins them over, and for the price of a couple of drinks they prove willing to provide the benefits of their loal...

As evening draws in the inn begins to fill up. Most of the customers look like local working men, and it shouldn't be difficult to find somebody with knowledge of the woods if desired. Judging by the wary looks that the group are getting, though, it might be a bit harder to gain their trust.

Thanks for DMing Mal!

Agreed, we should gather up on this side now. We need decent Perception rolls over here, and if it should happen that those don't change anything, then we can at least take a short rest once we're grouped up again. Anybody who can consistently make a DC10 Athletics check can probably get...

The inkeeper doesn't seem to know anything about trouble at any of the logging camps nearby. I'm not going to hold you to a strict 5 round limit, but I can tell you that expecting Alexia to carry you through with Diplomacy checks while you all assist would only get you so far - there's only so...

"Unfortunately I'm not certain that there does need to be an off switch," Colgrave calls back. "It could have been operated via some portable remote device, which could be quite literally anywhere - or nowhere - at this point. As to the sense of you crossing, there is a locked safe here. I can...

As Orsik waits expectantly, the man just shakes his head, uncomprehending. "Camp...?"

The barkeeper just nods warily, seemingly greatly relieved as Orsik begins to retreat. kal'Tarron gains access to the priest's modest library, which includes several tomes on local history. After a frustrating period of combing through endless discussions of forestry and fishing rights, land...

"Indeed," Colgrave affirms, his good humour sounding more than a little strained. "If there is truly no other exit, and no way to disable the hazards of this hallway, then we are in something of an uncomfortable position." Allow me to just restate how much I despise the 4E rule of no retries...

Kasha flops down in one of the chairs to recover her breath, pushing the plate away from her place with a revolted grimace. "Hmm, well, too bad," she says breezily, regarding Teresa's grisly and partially dismembered body. "Figures, though. I wonder if anybody around here is even surprised any...

The man's expression changes - it's obvious that Mythra's description has provoked some recognition in the innkeeper, although he does his best to compose a game face; Orsik's unintentionally brusque manner seems to have left him leery of the two. "Look, what is this? Why are you looking for...

I don't have an issue with assuming that you guys took the letter with you. Regarding kal'Tarron using Religion: basically you're just using your knowledge of the faith to make the priest trust/like you more, so at best it's going to give a bonus on a social roll. Otherwise you can just...

Orsik and Mythra discover that there is no postman as such, but the mail coaches pick up and drop off letters at the town's inn. At this time in the afternoon the cosy common room is quiet, with only a few old men in the corner nursing their ale and talking amongst themselves over a game of...

Tutting with exasperation as her spell is ruined, Heather looks squarely up at one of the tengu and fixes it with an angry glare, both eyes blazing right at it for a moment before the left one starts to wander again. She spits on the ground and moves to take cover by the wall. Standard: Evil...
