Gotcha. Waiting to see what the others do...

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rakanishu nods appreciatively and assists Goubido where he can.

[gob]"Cremation, not a bad idea I admit,"[/gob] he says, [gob]"We set it alight then we're able to get on with the job, simple and effective."[/gob]

 

[Dalamar]

"Bah!"
Glorath sits down and starts going through his arrows, checking if any of them have suffered from moisture or been bend in the quiver as he's been rapidly pulling new ones.

 

[Mirth]

[gob]"I am ashamed,"[/gob] D'Bruuhl says to Goubido. [gob]"You have every right to admonish me for not tending to my priestly duties regarding this fallen brother of ours. After we have given him a proper send off, I shall have to ask my god for a penance. Thank you Goubido, for helping me see the error of my ways."[/gob] With that, the cleric begins to build a stone circle around the body so that the fire can be contained somewhat. [gob]"This forest won't be Dim for long once we light this pyre,"[/gob] the priest notes with a small smile.

After a half hour enough wood has been accumulated. The goblin lights easily, possibly due to the sticky webbing. The pyre is ablaze and sends out a great wall of smoke into the air, and the air is filled with the smell of burning gob, which reminds the companions of an overroasted boar. Ashgyad and Rakanishu cough until their eyes water.

The woods have no other exit, and you return to the path to continue west into the valley. You glance at the sky and see the smoke continue to pour out. Birds scatter into the sky.

[gob]"That was the right thing to do,"[/gob] Ashgyad said. [gob]"But now, we need to attend to our task."[/gob]

 

[Festy_Dog]

[gob]"And if we're lucky, all the nasties in the forest will be attracted to the column of smoke while we're free to search for Jazzad,"[/gob] Rakanishu says positively.

He continues to scan the path ahead for anything that could cause problems.

 

[dreamthief]

Moving right along...

(You may still post your reactions to what happened before...)

As you continue west, the path curls around a huge oak with twisted roots before entering a shadowy glade. The glade is roughly circular, thirty paces in diameter, and covered with a carpet of dry leaves. A wooden box lies just inside the glade to the right of the trail, and a small circle of stones surrounds a mound of ash in the clearing's center. Beyond the circle, two trails exit the clearing, one to the northwest and one to the southwest.

Rakanishu and Goubido notice the wooden box shaking.

 

[Festy_Dog]

[gob]"Box is moving,"[/gob] he says and levels his crossbow at it.
