(Cludge heals his nonlethal damage)-------------------------The next day, Kurgahz prays for water and protection from the elements for himself and Cludge.  Conuld casts an extended endure elements on himself, and a shorter spell on Lasair.  Shadya is still protected from yesterday.As you travel, the desert slowly claims the trail that you are following.  You notice tall poles with horizontal stripes on them begin marking the path instead.  Shadya knows that these are very deep and were placed there by the Sairundani to guide foreigners and to measure the movements of the desert.You rest for 4 hours in the middle of the day.  Some of you see mirages for the first time, little wiggling heat waves that look like water through the midday haze.  The spells protecting you keep you safe from harm, but it simply makes the heat bearable, not comfortable.  You rest under covered areas.You decide to stop for the night near some rocks, in a slight depression in the dunes.  The sand is harder here, and the dunes around you protect you from the cool wind when you crouch down low.You note that today is your 60th day out of Orussus.  You've made good time, but the going will get tougher in the desert without a highway.  (OOC: 1/2 speed is 16 mpd, correct me if I'm wrong.)[Distance traveled: 2285 + 24 = 2309 miles][Time: 60 days]Cludge and Conuld take the first watch.  The others, exhausted, quickly set up camp and go to sleep. Despite the protection from the dune crater, the night is still cold.  Cludge and Conuld are wrapped comfortably in their blankets as they keep watch.  The camels breathe loudly.  Cludge is leaned up against a weathered rock.  Shortly after nightfall, he notices a tiny black scorpion emerge from under the rock (S1).  It faces the dwarf and snaps its pincers as it strafes back and forth, threatening Cludge.  Conuld makes two tiny scorpion sightings of his own.  At the same time as Cludge's little encounter, two black arthropods emerge from the sand at Conuld's feet (S2, S3).  They snap at his toes, their tails drawn back in preparation to sting.Round 1, 7:33:00 PMInitiative:CludgeConuldScorpion1Scorpion2Scorpion3</blockquote>
