"Wait," suggests Iago. "Perhaps Mistress Ariel is correct. We can travel double file. Perhaps your eyes would be better in the lead, Marcus," the half-orc adds.

"With her armor, perhaps Mistress Ariel should take the lead," the orc replies, nodding politely to the priestess. "You can take rearguard."

Larissa follows the Father, relying on him to guide her. Her huge sword stirs restlessly in her free hand as she readies herself for the fight. OK, Larissa goes w/the Father.

Iago points to the mountain. "The slope is gentler near the north end. Perhaps we should look for a good route there." PM -- Where was the smoke coming from the previous night?

Larissa finds herself confused by the byplay, but tries to rally her thoughts. "With respect, it is a bit too late to choose to distrust Father Reinos," she observes. "As to prophecy, how could one speak plainly of the future without changing it? Be that as it may, we need to agree on the...

"I have no such spell," observes Larissa. "Nor do I like surrendering the initiative so readily. Pulling back the tapestry and firing arrows seems a sound plan, but the beast may simply hold its distance. If it breathes fire or some other noxious effect, it may have the advantage at range...

Iago nods to the others as they wake, pulling out another chunk of bread and munching absently. As he has done every morning of their travels, he pulls strange apparatus from his pack and begins filling vials with exotic liquids. As always, his last elixir is a brown liquid poured into a...

"The fight will sound the alarm," points out Larissa. "We cannot fight all of the Dark Ones. Our goal is the grotto. We might do better to shield our light and try to slip by unnoticed." She looks to Father Relios. "What say you, Father? Could you lead us to the grotto in the dark?"

Iago gives Fae'shiel a hard look at her comment on his ancestry, but lets the comment pass. "We seem to lack the spells and talents for a ruse in any case. So let us scout the mountain tomorrow and proceed." He nods to Marcus. "Will you take the first watch?"

"I'm not sure disguises would help in any case," says Iago. "Their lookouts probably know the raiders who go out, and strange orcs may get no warmer reception than other strangers." He shrugs. "Let's wait until dawn, and then circle the mountain and look for good ways up. We can stay under...

Iago mulls the situation over. "It seems to me our biggest choice is whether to try and scout the area, or ascend as a group. We have no one who is skilled in stealth, and no means to help them quickly if they come under attack, so it seems safest to go in force." He looks over at the peak...

Perhaps I missed it, but I thought we were still having this discussion on the night they camped. Iago made his proposal when he took out his rations for the night. I deliberately wanted to start the discussion so that we would be able to change spells in the morning. PM, can you confirm?

"How long will it last, then?" asks Iago.

"I don't think you should go at night," Iago observes. "Their eyes will be better than yours then. We can wait until dawn. If Lady Fae'shiel is willing to cast her spell on you, you can make your way up the trail while the rest of us watch from the treeline. Hopefully you can be up and at...

"My thanks," offers Larissa. She hastily dons the boots, placing her old ones in her pack.

Iago eyes Ariel and Fae'shiel, but decides not to engage in their byplay. He looks expectantly to Marcus.

The half-orc fights for his composure. "It was not my intention to be rude," he says, apparently the best he can offer. He sits, and takes a pull from his waterskin. "We still have the problem of our approach," he says. "Perhaps you are right, Mistress Ariel, that we should send a scout up...

"Ready," Larissa nods to Tyrien, signaling that they are ready to advance. SK, Larissa should still have Heroism cast on her (she cast it at the same time as the Daybreak Arrows, and it has the same duration.

Might I recommend considering Vivisectionist as well as Beastmorph? They are compatible (no conflicts in changes to class abilities). The former effectively trades bombs for sneak attack, which should synergize well with a melee-centered build capitalizing on Mutagens. Also great RP...

"It is probably wisest that you take the lead," says Larissa. "But let me lay some of the Host's protections on you, and on us all." Sword in one hand, she touches Tyrien on the shoulder with the other. A light and warmth infuses her as Larissa utters, ""Lady Kamara, armor this warrior...
