Jack scowls. "We were off the bloody path when they jumped us," he complains. "Will a day's delay disrupt your schedule unduly?"

Encounter in the Forest
As Bendyn and Jack talk, there is whispered discussion between a few of the little ones. One of them seems quite excited, twitching and bouncing around like a scaley squirrel on speed. The 'leader' seems unconvinced and keeps trying to shoo the other one away.

Encounteer in the Forest
Blood bubbles from the throat of the lizardman at the feet of Jack and Bendyn. It twitches a bit. Dying, but not dead yet, obviously.
ooc: Scotley, does Bendyn have a response for Jack? Just wannted to check you had seen the question before moving things on.

Bendyn
"I have no quarral with these lizard folk. Time is precious, but I see no reason to engage in needless battle. Getting ourselves killed will certainly not further the mission." He raises his voice and switches to Draconic. "We will stay away today and avoid the path. Tomorrow we will move on." He translates for his companions. "Let's fall back a bit."

Encounter in the forest
The small creatures and the lizard folk move slowly forward as the three adventurers pull back. Eventually the little ones get to their fallen companions, forming small noisy groups around the prone lizard folk warriors. One of the small ones moves from one fallen warrior to the other, pulling trips of cloth and other healing materials from its pouch with which it binds and dresses the wounds.
The last remaining lizard folk warrior keeps a wary eye on the three humans, but otherwise makes no aggressive moves.
Judging by the tone of the little creatures conversation, it seems that the healer was successful in stabilising both of the fallen lizard warriors. They remain, however, unconcious.

Ghosted: Casparan Atavar, Warrior Priest Initiate
Casparan looks over to Bendyn. The warrior priest in training has a pained look on his face.
"I've felt better. Took a couple of hits."
He stumbles slightly and leans against a tree.
"Feel a bit woosy as well. Think they had something on the bolts."
Indeed, despite his efforts to hide it, the warrior priest is looking rather drawn and pale, and seems to be struggling to focus clearly.
ooc: poison has kicked in.

Summary of Events in the Lost Posts
After fighting the dogmen and their lizardmen allies to a standoff, a truce is agreed on. The two side withdraw somewhat and settle down to wait. The next day the dogmen and their allie have gone, and the party moves on.
Down the path they come accross the site of a battle. There appears to have been numerous combatants on both sides, ranging in size from small to large. The pit dug in the path and other sprung traps suggest an ambush. From the bits of gear the party memebers find, it looks like the dogmen fought goblins, probably from a local mine. A small distance away, the party also finds a number of bodies, dogmen and lzardmen, that have been dumped into a gully.
Deciding to leave well enough alone, the party moves on. After crossing a river, they are attacked by an huge abomination; half owl, half bear. Jack kills it with a single blow of his axe. He takes the head as a souvenir, and some of the flesh for dinner.
Further down the road they come to a village set into the hill and surrounded by rice fields. After a cautious welcome, the villages greet the visitors as heros after discovering that the party have killed the owlbear. The creature had been terrorising the village for some time. A party is thrown. Jack leaves the head of the owlbear with the blacksmith to be made into a helmet, and the next day the party moves on.
About an hour out of the village they come across an old lady collecting a large number of small fruit that have spilled from her basket. The adventurers offer to help. The task seems never ending, and as they work, the day gets more oppressively hot and the fruit look more and more tempting. Some of the adventurers succumb. Immediately they are taken ill. The old lady gleefully insults their stamina, then tells them to visit her if they want to 'find the Stone'.
The party follows the signs to the cottage of Alianna, for they assume that this must be the witch that the villagers warned them to avoid. They find no one home, but shortly after entering are challenged to a fight by a man sized metal golum standing in the corner. Jack, Bendyn and the golum (Casparan, still ill from the poison, remained outside) get to work trashing the witch's house.

The three combatants continue to trash the witch's house for a while longer. Suddenly the lid on one of the large wicker baskets in the corner shoots off and the little old woman pops up.
"Enough all ready!" She tears at her hair and looks around slightly google eyed.
"Look at my house. You will be putting everything back where you found if you expect any help from me.
She draws herself up to her full height of 4 foot 7 inches and puts her hand on her hips.
"Well?"
