[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5993143, member: 40413"] The crones titter at Sylvain's comment thinking it a joke. The dominant crone nods as if she expected no less and scratches under one arm. [color=#990099]"The Wise One will know the way..."[/color] She crooks a finger at Sylvain. Waltor skitters from the witch's shoulder to the ground and across the rocky strand to wait at the crone's feet. She holds her hand at Waltor's level and the scorpion scurries up on it. Lifting Waltor up she exhales into his arachnid face. Waltor bobs a moment in the exhalation as if enjoying it and then twitches. At the end of the minor convulsion he seems larger. Another convulsion and he is definitely larger, now the size of a human head. The crone gently sets Waltor on the ground. A third and final convulsion sees the little scorpion grow to the size of a dog. At the end of his transformation he bobs on his legs and chitters to Sylvain that all is well. [color=#990099]"The Wise One knows the way."[/color] She stares across at Aldino. [color=#990099]"But the way is steep and taxing. The old one and the horses would find it... [i]difficult[/i], at best. Leave them here and we will guard them for your return."[/color] Aldino looks like he is about to protest but instead he sighs, and accepts his limitation. The past two weeks of travel through the mountains have been particularly hard on him and he could certainly use a bit of rest before the journey back to Venza. [color=tan]"I'd like to go but these old bones... you'll know how it is someday. I'll keep the horses safe."[/color] Waltor bobs a last time then scurries off up the slope of the mountain. [sblock=OOC]Ok, this next bit, ascending the mountain, is a skill challenge. Climb is the primary skill though other skills may be useful and creative/effective use of abilities can provide a bonus to your skill checks. Waltor's guidance provides a +2 bonus to your checks. You need four successful checks to succeed and each of you needs to make at least one check, more if some of those checks fail. I expect your post to reflect your skill/ability use. I'll try to provide updates as the checks are made. I prefer that you make the rolls instead of taking 10. Please ask if you have question. Thanks.[/sblock] [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/821/hagseasmall.jpg/][IMG]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7873/hagseasmall.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [color=#990099]--- -- Old Crone -- ---[/color] [/QUOTE]
