Crossed Paths - Part I

[Manzanita]

One prior event to list: Just before nightfall, a young man clad in leather armor wearing the insignia of the guard (a grey tower) rides up the cabin. He efficiently dismounts and hands Brioc a small case containing four vials of holy water. "Lady Y'dress informs you that this is all the holy water she could spare. Good fortune to you, my lords." He bows smartly and deparsts.

The night is cold and clear. Those outside enjoy a fine veiw of the stars, and probably pass the time comparing the constellations to the sky where they were raised.

Swiftly then, at about 3 am, the mists come. From clear sky, smokey tendrils of fog slither out of the forest, gathering rapidly into a thick mist. Within a few minutes, you have difficulty seeing more than a few feet away.

Everyone please state your position, armorments at hand, etc. I'll assume Brioc was at watch, with Octar out with him. The fire is going.

whoops. Don't bother downloading the above. Try this instead. The forest is to the West, in this graphic.

Attempt #3:

 

[ErichDragon]

Ecgtow is reclining against the wall in C3, feigning sleep. His sword and hand axe are both in hand.

 

[Inez Hull]

Ehldannis steels himself against a sudden bout of shaking which he tries to tell himself is due to the mist and cold air. He falls back on his magic to give himself confidence to face the unknown threat that lurks outside in the mist. With a quick movement of his fingers and a whispered phrase, Ehladannis's eyes take on an eerie glow and he moves to a window of the cottage to scan the mists.


[Casts Detect Magic and scans the mists]

 

[Eldorian]

Glaucon is asleep in J6, wearing his armor, with his sword and bow near his pack, which he's using for a pillow. If someone wakes him up, he gets up, arms himself, and circles around the cabin, down on the map, to hide in the shadows there, away from the fire.

 

[Manzanita]

The mist arives

Ehldannis: No day change has occured since you last cast detect magic and detect poison (& Khen cast obscuring mist). Actually at this point, I can't find a spell list for Ehldannis. Please repost this.

I'll play Octar and Nathaniel this encounter; Ehldannis, Khen, Brioc, please state your position. & tell Octar and Nathaniel what to do and where to stand, if you're so inclined.

 

[Jarval]

Brioc readies his scimitar as the mists start to form, a vial of holy water in his other hand. Wolf gets to his feet at his friend's obvious alarm, growling into the darkness.

"It's starting, lads, it's starting!" Brioc calls into the house, before scouring the night-mist around him for any sign of creatures.

 

[Inez Hull]

Ehldannis moves behind the armoured bodies of his companions [I6] and intones words of power as a screen of light materialises in front of him [casts shield]. He then scans the mist intently and calls out in a tremelous voice what he sees to his companions.

[Khenemetsobek]

Khen was sleeping soundly beside the fire (K4). When woken he will stand and say in Egyptian, "Scaled lord light my way." and his spear will start to glow a soft green. He hoists the spear ready to throw at the first sign of the beast.

[ooc casts light on his spear.]
