[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8540688, member: 7030144"] Session 39 (February 6, 2022) 16 Vaen They still have 24-29 days of travel to reach Dwarf Mountain. While they’re in camp in the morning, Noah and Elyn approach the ork shaman to discuss the idea of a spirit quest. The shaman tells them that contacting spirits of nature is easy, but that they are affected by what’s going on. The nature spirits may be hostile and dangerous. For contacting the dead, there are dances they can do, but the spirits of the dead will not have changed. That evening, the shaman throws some very odiferous things into the fire, begins dancing, and asks Noah to picture the spirit he wants to contact. Noah pictures the Wolf-Eyed Man. The herbs and mushrooms change the colors of the fire, and then a familiar face forms in the flames. “I can hold this for three minutes.” “Greetings!” They eyes in the fire focus on him. “I am glad to be reunited with you, but I need aid in mastering more of my rage and my skills as a barbarian. Is there someone else who could mentor us?” “The land is being destroyed. Within the City, no spirit could reach you that you would want to see. Where you are and as you approach the dwarven city—when you are no more than 3 or 4 days away—you can contact the spirits of earth and trees. As you travel on towards the City—I know where you are going—there will be no spirits that can help you. Perform the ritual of earth when you are near the dwarven city, in the evening.” “Thank you. I’m sorry I was not there for you when you needed me.” “When she became a creature such as she did, the fate of people like me was sealed. You must redeem your people.” The shaman is exhausted. “It was an honor. It is hard to reach them. The corruption is spreading.” “We will cut it off at the source.” Later that night, during the first watch, the chief scout on the left side sends back one of the other scouts leading a snake-like thing with a human head back to the command group. The Strom identifies it as a naga. “A naga! I wonder what she wants.” “You must stop. You must wait.” “Why would that be?” “An army will cross your path heading towards the border. If you continue on, you will meet it. Two field armies.” “Would you say that they are of the Houses of Green?” “They are of the Green, and they have demons with them. I am a creature of law.” Noah says, “We respect you, but we will still need a zone of truth. This is not a matter of lack of trust, but we have faced lies before.” He also dispatches Elyn and Iados with some of the rakasta scouts to confirm the enemy army and mark its location. The zone of truth confirms the information. The Strom asks the naga to show where it is on the map, and where they’re heading. They are trying to bypass the rebel army and reinforce the border.
