Ni describes the kind of habitat that they're looking for, and asks Lu if he can lead the way towards one. Lu reluctantly tries to comply, still a bit grumpy at being surrounded by all this luscious foliage that he can't munch on. Ni tries to help, but he's still thinking about grig...

You're still in the woods, about an hour's journey from the encampment. Still lots of trees, and you certainly haven't seen any signs of that abating, although there's no way yet to tell how things might look closer to the camp. Right now it sounds as though Eanos and Audra will go ahead to...

Ni smiles mischievously. "I must confess to being quite fond of the prospect of dealing with a creature with tenuous reason. But I appreciate your concern, Herr Heinrich." Appreciating the vividness of the Reality Machine's illusion, Ni and Lu peer among the branches and look for clues as to...

Halting Lu in their premature strolling towards the door, Ni considers Heinrich's question. "Well, there will have to be some indirect i.e. nonverbal communication involved, at the very least, since I can't talk to many animals much in a day, unfortunately." The gnome frowns at this. "Still...

So we have Audra and Eanos going to scout. I'm assuming everyone will at least pull closer with them (again, you're ~an hour's travel from the marked encampment), but will need to know if everyone will be closing in together, or whether Audra and Eanos will do a bit of scouting first.

As they advance towards the gateway, something clicks in Ni's mind. "Wonder if the sick-thing is a goblin dog? Those things give the nastiest itch." Ni looks to Lu and Lu shudders at an unarticulated memory. Ni looks to Heinrich. "Lu ran into a goblin dog once. Not pretty." That's good to...

Yeah don't sweat it Scott. It's not like I've been posting loads or anything. :p

The group travels for the remainder of the day, and eats their cold, campfire-less dinner mostly in silence. At this point, there seems so little to say, so each resolves to keep to themselves, Eanos ever watchful, Audra preoccupied with dealing with her seething emotions, Fulgrim steady and...

As Ni and Heinrich discuss the possible creatures fitting the riddles before them, the gnome variously shifts, paces, scrunches his nose, and rubs his hairless chin. Lu attempts to swallow a nearby cherry, looking both confused and perturbed when the virtual fruit fails to deliver in the taste...

That's my fault, unfortunately. RL is such that I've been a slow GM, and an even slower accountant. :blush:

YES from me, too.

Enjoy it, Mowgli!

Ni greets all of the professors rapturously, then heads into the Reality Machine with Heinrich, riding atop his now-winged Lu. Ni takes in the environment with wide eyes. "How fantastic to find a fictitious fantasy for engagement! It's boggling!" The gnome shakes his head. Lu looks bored...

Galin nods, maintaining the solemnity that had taken hold since Alecks' disappearance had been noticed. "Aye. I 'ave tah say, a good dwarf knows what 'e can do and what 'e can't; I ain't a fightin' being, madam." Eyes narrowing fiercely, he adds, "But you go get yer brother back, lass. And...

I think those choices sound good, Scott. The only one I'd suggest swapping out is Spider Climb, since Lu could always fly Ni somewhere if there's a need. Unless you see a reason why Heinrich specifically might need to be a'climbin'. Apologies for the delay. I'm having a heck of a time...

Eanos's magical sight turns up nothing in the cabin. The group spends a lengthy interval searching the cabin for clues, but besides the tracks they spotted, none seem forthcoming. Just as all seems lost, however, Drev points out an unusually creeky floorboard, which comes up with Galin's...

Audra's imprudence is, thankfully for her, not immediately punished: she opens the door onto an apparently-empty single room cabin. Signs of struggle abound: a chair is turned over, the remains of what look to be breakfast are strewn across the table, and a quiver lies upturned on the floor...

Well fed and well drunk at Galin's compliment, the group heads off to bed in anticipation of finally meeting the subject of their search in person. Their sleep is as good as it's been since they set out. Audra's rest is particularly sound: an agitation that had been wound around her heart for...

For the most part, that sounds good, Scott. You might want to lose low light vision and dark vision, since Lu (Ni's eidolon) has dark vision, and since Lu can also fly, we should be good without Spider Climb and Jump (unless you can see a reason that we should be climbing/jumping). Knock...

"First thing tomorrow sounds good!" exclaims Ni. "As do forms: I had to fill out my share when I first traveled to the mainland, so I know what that's all about." "Everything sounds good, madam," Ni says with a bow. "We shall see you tomorrow!" With that, Ni turns and heads out of Dr...
