[QUOTE="Ormazd, post: 6029073, member: 24334"] The elven forms melt away until they are all wolves who attack the sleeping party (although asteron, karuna & shirazade are awake). after defeating the creatures, more howls sound in the night. a silvery glowing wolf appears. its throat is cut and bleeding though it is wearing a a jeweled collar and strange cloth wrappings. when the silver wolf is vanquished, its body dissipates and only the collar and cloth wrappings are left. the "cloth" is really superfine chainmail and the collar is made of gold with red gems. both have a crescent moon symbol, which is of the shahalesti house of Kiirodel (Irana Kiirodel is the chief adviser of Shaaladel). One of the spectral hounds is Malhun, the blood wolf. north -- We are more and more certain that we're headed in the right direction (except karuna). rising from the center of a clearing is a circle of stones (a henge) with smooth black surfaces, covered in runes. There is movement in its center, including some armored elves. There is also a stoic man with the head of a lion and a linen kilt. van determines he's a kind of celestial (from another plane, servants of good deities, but can be summoned), standing guard. We step back and cast the ritual Ghost Walk, in order to get a better look. stealthy party members move closer (van, karuna, merrick). There are four humanoids: wizard, beast from feywild in plate, 2 eladrin. One is a member of the solei polancis (super-elite shahalesti). plated beast standing next to wizard, tries to speak but wizard shushes him, studying the symbols on the stones intently. van tries to hear what they're saying or see what they're looking at, but can't make out the runes the wizard is studying. flashing lights start up again - wizard performing a ritual. van thinks it's an enchantment or alteration ritual. We decide to watch what they're doing, but stealth fails. The celestial calls out that we should reveal ourselves, so we move forward as a group. The wizard steps up and says they're working for shining lord shaaladel and hewants us to come to their camp for questioning. Lkendreis gives up at the end of a short fight instead. When questioned he says the following: he is in charge, performing a ritual to keep taranesti away from here, commanded by shaaladel. They have been camping in this henge for concealment, in search of travelers (not this party) - people carrying a valuable package, recognizable by the darkness of their skin. don't know where they're from, only that they were coming here. short discussion on what to do with the prisoners with shirazade, merrick, lumi and van in favor of killing them. lumi executes them. karuna is not happy with this decision, and says he's starting to question the honor of the group. a fox the size of a wolf darts out - examines us. blue runes on its skin glowing under its fur. elf woman steps out of the forest - red hair, leather armor, carrying a battered sickle and a bow. Fayne - "you are not friends of the shahalesti. who are you?" says the forest is beyond help, van tells her we're trying to find the Torch of the Burning Sky -- she'll help us if we prove our trustworthiness by rescuing a prisoner from the shahalesti. her name is Liat, being held at shahalesti compound in the south, a fortified garrison. threatens us when we mention Trilla.
