Belisha moves her hands in front of the elf and recites a series of ancient words. A white swirled mark appears on Slyfen’s face, and he immediately feels his agility and quickness increase. He smiles as he remembers using the abilities granted by this spell to defeat the bugbear bandit in his cave hideout.
Thus heartened, Slyfen draws his rapier and prepares to open the door. Hardin and Eolan take up positions close by and prepare to tackle whatever may lie beyond.
The door opens into a small, shadowy storage room, and you are greeted with a waft of cold musty air from within. From the doorway, you can see several barrels and crates in the frigid room. A mound of pelts, obviously from Timberway lions, dominates the center of the room.
OOC Notes:
Belisha
Casts mark of air on Slyfen
Here is the descriptive text for this spell from the Book of Eldritch Might:
“The energy of this spell creates a white, swirled mark on the face, hand, or other prominent feature of any creature, living or undead. Those bearing this mark gain a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity. They also possess the ability to conjure a shield of swirling air that provides a +5 deflection bonus to Armor Class for 10 rounds. Using this shield of air ability is a standard action that immediately dismisses the mark of air.”
The mark will persist for 30 minutes, or until Slyfen conjures the shield.
Hardin
Everyone is healed up to full hp, except for Eolan, who is at 25/27. If you want to, you can retroactively use another charge from your wand to get him up to 27.
Spot checks:
Slyfen 7 + 8 – 1 = 14
Hardin 10 + 2 – 1 = 11
Eolan 2 + 0 – 1 = 1
Belisha 1 + 5 – 2 = 4
Sorry there’s no mound of pelts on the map. Just use your imagination.

As Belisha enters the storeroom to examine the area more closely, a striking figure jumps up from behind the barrels in the northeast corner of the room. The crazed-looking man is wild-eyed and frothing at the mouth. His padded clothing is caked with frozen blood, and his skin is covered with sores and numerous wounds. Both of his feet appear to be horribly frostbitten. There is a dagger in his belt, but in his crazed state he has neglected to draw it. On his right index finger is a gold ring.
Belisha has time for one terrifying thought, This man is becoming a wendigo!
The gaunt thing lurches forward and bites Belisha’s left shoulder. His teeth are not unusually long or sharp, so the skin is not broken; but the bite is hard—joint damage is likely, and waves of pain explode in the gnome’s body.
OOC Notes:
Keller
Hide check result was 8 + 10 = 18
Makes bite attack against Belisha
(unarmed attack, but does not provoke AoO because Belisha is flat-footed)
Bite hits (FF AC 11, Atk roll 20 + 4 = 24, critical threat)
No critical hit (verifier roll 4 + 4 = 8)
5 hp nonlethal damage (Dmg roll [1d3+2] 3 + 2 = 5 hp)
Initiative order:
Slyfen 7 + 7 = 14
Keller 7 + 6 = 13
Eolan 6 + 5 = 11 (higher mod)
Hardin 12 – 1 = 11
Belisha 5 + 2 = 7

"Get back Belisha," bellows the knight. Turning to the frostbitten creature, he yells, "Halt foul man, or taste retribution for your attack!" Eolan will move into the room and take position where he can attack the creature with his bastard sword, yet let Hardin follow him to get an attack as well.

Slyfen quickly reaches out and grabs Belisha. He deftly pulls the gnome out of the reach of the crazed man, dumping her onto the ruined remains of a bed behind himself.
Ignoring the knight’s bellowed warning, the bloody figure lunges forward into the doorway and tries to bite Slyfen. Seeing it coming, the elf raises his left arm in defense, and stabs at the man with his rapier. Slyfen feels his rapier enter the man’s torso just as the frothy mouth clamps down on his own arm.
Eolan moves forward and tries to push the insane man back into the storeroom, where he and Hardin can both get at him. After a brief struggle, the unsettling figure manages to throw off the knight’s attack, pushing Eolan back out into the main room.
