[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8699479, member: 508"] In tonight's Ghourmand Vale session, we found our way out of "not-quite-Ravenloft-but-clearly-patterned-after-it" via a temporary [I]planar gate[/I] that dumped us 6 days out of Ghourmand Vale. We ditched the betraying sorceress who had already used us for patsies once, then found our way to a halfling village just as the last tavern was closing. The tavernkeeper gave us directions to a halfling pony farmer on the outskirts of the village, and traveling through the woods to get there we rescued his son from a pair of worgs. The next morning we got directions to Ghourmand Vale, bought a pony and his only two light horses, and started on our overland trek. The halfling rode the pony, our armor-clad half-elf paladin rode one horse, which meant I got to buddy up with the elf archer, riding double on the second horse. On the first day, we ran into an ettercap and two spider swarms, which we fought off using what fire we had available. (The paladin wields a [I]flaming burst longsword[/I] he took from a hobgoblin and my sorcerer had a [I]burning hands[/I] spell scroll; after that, it was the archer's flasks of oil being lit by a burning brand from my sorcerer's [I]unseen servant[/I], Ogilvy.) After killing the ettercap and one spider swarm, the other swarm decided to tuck into the dead ettercap and we continued on our trek unmolested. Then the DM fast-forwarded us the rest of the trek home. We'll need to finish the task we were doing before we got whisked away to not-quite-Ravenloft, which was clearing out a dwarven mine of svirfneblin interlopers. And we're just at the cusp of 3rd level, so the next adventure should put us over the edge. Edit: There apparently had been an error in our XP calculations - it turned out we were at 3rd level at the end of this adventure after all. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
