The floating fish dissipates and Pharodeys returns to life. "We found one along the way," she says. "Perhaps she was seeking you out. But she is unconscious and we cannot revive her."

I'd like to see more opinions but I'll take it as consensus if there aren't any. You mean the hill in between the one the camp is currently on and the one with the sinister hut, correct?

Scarmiglione is knocked into insensibility without seeing what hit him, only to be roused almost immediately by Beatrice's unholy shrieking. Pushing himself up, he is forced to confront the arrows protruding from his chest. "That looks serious," he mutters, but there doesn't seem to be anything...

Scarmiglione squawks in dismay is he is struck by sword and arrow, and a patch of feathers near his beak suddenly turns black. He moves to the side, recovering himself, and opens his beak to emit a loud CRACK!, like the sound of a massive rock suddenly splitting. One of the guards bursts into...

H.M.Gimlord Can I ask that Eithal pull the guard to M10 rather than N10? It's a legal pull, and I'd rather not start adjacent to this guy. Dekana I'll forgo swift parry since Beatrice already healed me. I will use it the next time I can turn a hit into a miss.

Initiative 16(1d20) +9 = 25 Holy cow, those guards are really earning their pay! (I rolled because it might be lucky charmable--although I'm not entirely sure whether initiative counts as an "ability check." In any case, I'm not using the power.)

Kane can't recall anything else concrete about the Thrune family. The family name is occasionally used by Allarian sailors as a byword for being cursed, but Kane has never heard any actual stories about ancient evil spells on the family line or anything like that; their misfortunes may well have...

The floating fish zips around wildly, its body inflating like a puffer fish and its feathery "fins" shining with coruscating colors as they flap. This creates such an unusual distraction that both Spider and Zardi get in quick slashes at the large ant. Spider connects, but Zardi does not. The...

CaBaNa: I agree. But I have better things to do than cruise the forums for experience points. Like downloading Skyrim mods.

Save against being teleported: it comes under the rules for being forced into hindering terrain (Rules Compendium, page 207). Being forced expressly includes being teleported, and hindering terrain expressly includes being forced to fall.

Pharodeys remains curiously frozen in her attitude of concentration. Even her hair is perfectly still, which is odd, because it was blowing in the breeze, and her sudden motionlessness has left her locks suspended in midair. The space around the thickest group of ants seems to warp and twist...

"You may have had the right idea in the first place," Scarmiglione murmurs very quietly to Beatrice. He has no doubt that the commandant is being insincere, but is not a sharp enough observer to hazard a guess as to why or how much. Scarm has no chance of making the insight check but I rolled...

The door to the hut hangs slightly ajar, and Takahaan pushes it open and enters, sword drawn. Surprisingly--or perhaps unsurprisingly, given the dilapidated state of the hut--there is no witch in evidence, nor any sign that there ever was one. The interior looks utterly disused: probably nobody...

After climbing back up the cliff, the group proceeds back to camp, then heads south to the viper nettle patch, and then follows the river upstream. The ground rises steadily but gradually for a couple of miles, and it is not too unpleasant a walk--the jungle is not thick enough to impede...

"Our researches led us to a large, forbidding tree," replies Scarmiglione. "We thought it undoubtedly the source of the affliction. It was guarded by fearsome shadowy beings, which we managed to defeat. Unfortunately, it appears that although we were able to purge the tree, we have ultimately...

Pharodeys moves forward more rapidly. Her attention is fixed on the smaller ants at the center, though nothing as yet seems to be happening as a result. She stops suddenly at the edge of the bridge, actually freezing in place, as though she has truly become inanimate stone, and at the same time...

I assume Hú Lí meant south and west. There isn't anything you haven't seen to the south and east :)

Scarmiglione decides to keep the group's intentions under his hat, for the time being. "Good day to you, madam," he says smoothly, with a courtly bow. "I am Scarmiglione. I understand you wished to meet with us."

Papolstaanas looks after Fenwick with a puzzled expression. "I remember him from somewhere," he mutters. "Something about getting an arm bitten off by a bear. Except he has both arms.... Maybe it was someone else."

So options are: exploring with an eye specifically to moving the camp somewhere; exploring just for the hell of it; continuing to trace Kovack and Friend (last known to be heading roughly south from Pezock's former camp)?
