[QUOTE="Doc Donuts, post: 7813136, member: 6999815"] [B]Session 5: Part 2[/B] Two hours later they are far out of town. They go deep into the woods, find a secluded spot and burn the two bodies, not wanting to leave enough for a Raise Dead spell to act on. The party argues about what to do next. Vanal wants to head back to town. He argues they need to find out what is going on, and who the dead cleric was. His henchman called him Rainbow, which seemed a really odd name for a cleric of a death god. He warns them that gaining the enmity of the local thieves guild could cause problems for them. Figorna agrees with him, but Mel and Ryll disagree. Mel points out that they could be magically tracked, and increased distance from the city is probably their best defense. Ryll just wants to go home and read her holy books. In the end Marq suggests a compromise. There is a small village nearby, with a very large lake. He suggests they camp where they can see the lake. He can breath water, and will take all the looted items, and the ashes of the dead bodies and deposit them in the lake in a weighted bag. They can wait a few days to see if anyone is tracking them, and if so, they they should stick out They all agree, and put the plan in action. While Marq is placing the items Vanal heads into the village and posts a letter, which he slips into the bag of the man carrying mail service to Avenal. A few hours later two people show up in the village. They both have the wary but confident look that is out of place in this little farming village. Ryll follows them and sees one of them cast a spell in the woods nearby. The woman points towards the lake and seems irritated. They talk quietly, and then they too find a spot in the woods to watch the lake. Ryll follows them as they approach the lake and hears them talking "Its here, but they wont get here for a while so we need to hold tight." the woman who cast the spell says. "Still gathering the team and he hasn't been here before so teleport is not a good idea." "Great. What if they are still here, we're screwed." Her companion does not sound confident. "Nah, they are gone. Stay calm." The rest of the party finds a spot to hide while Ryll returns to the others. Vanal takes up his middle aged man appearance while Mel casts a spell on himself that makes look like his wife's ex boyfriend, but older and fatter. Ryll and Figorna creep into position. Marq, Vanal and Mel stay a bit farther back, not wanting to risk getting detected before they were ready. After five minutes Vanal strides confidently towards the woods. "Hold" he said. "We need to talk." The woman reacts quickly and begins to cast a spell, but stops when Ryll shoots a crossbow bolt that hits her hat, rips it off her head and pins it to the tree behind her." Half a second later Figorna's arrow impacts the tree two inches from the bolt. She looks over and sees her partner is now asleep. She thinks for a moment then slowly gets to her feet, keeping her hands visible. Meanwhile Marq is in the brush nearby concentrating as he detected her thoughts. Vanal walks over to her and stops about 10' away. "Good, no need for violence, lets just have a pleasant conversation, then we all can go about our business.
