She proceeded to try to navigate from there to the north, with the general goal of getting into the mountains and searching for signs of the ancient Bear Knights. Things went reasonably well, until arriving at a point of higher ground during the day's travel she decided to climb a dead tree to get her bearings. This turned out to be the check that broke the challenge's back, so to speak, as she encountered a weak branch, which gave way and deposited her in a tangle of down wood. There was a Squamous Guardian here, a large poisonous snake, which immediately bit her! Being a dvarg, she wasn't too badly effected.She tried to hit back against the snake, and failed, again dice were cold! The bear took a shot at it, and missed too, as did Alec with his tossed sword skill. Joe wasn't immediately able to get into the fray. The snake retreated a ways, being able to easily move around in the difficult terrain. Approaching its location again Nairni managed to hack on it pretty well, Joe missed, but helped the bear flank, which resulted in another hit, and then the snake bit the bear, to ill effect! Alec managed to kill it after this with another tossed sword. The bear was ailing fairly badly after this due to the snake bite, but around this time Ofer Genga showed up, along with 'his mule' Biccweden. He proceeded to offer up an anti-venom, and informed the PCs that there was a lodge up the hill where a couple of rangers were based, and then went on his way. Biccweden said little. The party limped on up slope to the lodge, where they indeed encountered a dvarg King's Ranger. The ranger seemed helpful and agreed to let them stay a day or two so they could recover from their snakebite. He also informed them that there were 'Some ruins' on the other side of the mountain, about 2 days travel, and gave them some general instructions which will hopefully allow them to find the location without too much trouble.</blockquote>
