I'll compromise and let you move to the Northeastern corner and invoke, since you had time for both.)Vitz leans down in a line between Niccolo and the rats, his shoulders balanced to deliver a big swing when they arrive. They swarm through the first line's feet, losing a few to the stabs and slices of the Heironeans, and split -- some stay back and nibble and claw at Fendric, the others head on toward Niccolo. Vitz' swing sends most flying, and the others are taken care of before they have any real chance to find somewhere on Niccolo they can reasonably bite. The same goes for Fendric, who suffers no injury as the rats swarm his legs, but are quickly removed then dispatched by his guardians.As the yowling approaches from the south, the Heironeans have time to organize a good defensive line against them. Balger and Marten lead the way, charging into the brush in an attempt to head off any strike before it happens. There's a glint of flailing swords as Shavah attempts to keep you back in the center -- "it's you two they're after, I think" -- and the two return, holding a pair of jackals by the scruff of their neck.(Sorry to cut you out of the action, so to speak, but considering the vipers were the only real threat, I didn't feel it was worthwhile to slow down the game much more.Anyway, combat's over, and that means XP:Nurthk: 450Niccolo: 400Fendric: 375Note that this should bring Niccolo and Fendric to 4th level.)As the campsite is cleared of debris, Hasdural approaches, concerned about the poisoning; he can memorize a few lesser restorations tomorrow, if needed. Lucian explains his turning attempt -- something of a hunch, the situation seemed unnatural and considering who they were up against, it seemed like a possibility.Laam echoes the sentiment, clearly troubled: "Snakes don't hunt in packs. Rats don't... do that... The jackals... The jackals must have been hunting the snakes. The jackals are normal." He seems relieved by his own odd justification for a moment, but his chest falls back down. "But the snakes..."At this point, it seems quiet enough that you might continue your camp, though enough of you are rested that you could probably get moving onward (spells should be memorized with no problem, and I won't throw fatigue in after six hours' rest, unless it goes on like that for a few consecutive days...). The sun is rising -- you could take an hour to prepare spells, and then move, if so desired.</blockquote>
