A Tale of Two Dragons

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Harvey: Penthar detects no evil in the immediate vicinity.

 

[Kaitlin]

Raena Celeste Everglade, Halfling Shadowdancer

Raena walks up to the river, kneels down and sniffs for a moment. Her face crinkles at the smell. She walks over to the stepping stones and tentatively places a foot on one of them, pressing but not putting her weight down.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

The stone is solid, though very slippery.

 

[Krug]

Brak looks around, trying to see if he can detect anything.

Oh boy this is what happens when you play in too many PBPs... sorry about that DM!

 

[Ferrix]

Hareka glowers for a moment at the darkness, only so much patience for this sort of waiting.

Nick approaches the water gingerly, unable to see well. Seeing nothing dangerous, he attempts to step across on the stones.

ooc: *sigh* I did it too

 

[Lefferts]

Zithran waits for the others to cross the stream and then follows them across.

 

[Harvey]

Penthar, noting everyone's caution, decides to lead the way. He urges Regalclaw forward, whispering to the griffon to prepare to alight at any sign of slipping or danger. If he successfully crosses the stream, he waves on the rest of the party.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Regalclaw steps confidently onto the first stone. Almost instantly, the proud griffon loses its balance and stumbles quite ungracefully towards the fetid black water. With wings already outstretched, Regalclaw leaps into the air and glides to the other side. One of the griffon's claws dipped into the river and carried some of the goo to the shore. Where it touches leaves and the undergrowth, the goo seems to fizz and bubble. The plants shrivel and die. Regalclaw quickly wipes the claw off on some dirt. The stuff has left a black stain on the griffon's already dark claw.

 

[WampusCat43]

"Eeeyah!" Nick screams and leaps backward from the vile stream. He stumbles to the ground and looks around himself fearfully. "What in the name of Mystara is THAT?"
