meant for the whole party, not just me, so I think in the end he pulled some strings.I managed to run like mad for 30 hasted rounds of speed, with 2 round in between every 10 to get un fatigued and hasted again.  I avoided, or survived really, 4 attacks and managed to run into the heart of a city.The city was a tent city and the occupants where not known to use, we thought they were unfriendly, so it was a risk, specailly cause I ran by one of the out posts at 17 miles an hour.  If I would have fallen along the way, I am sure the bear would have eaten me, and I couldn't get off the road, cause the brush was to thick, so I would have moved slower, but the bear would ahve kept the same speed, cause he was bigger.I knew from the last two times I tried to spend two rounds trying to get unfatigued and hasted that I could not expect to survive a third, so I ran for the heart of the city and hoped/prayed that the DM would find mercy and have the villagers take care of, or at least aid, in dealing with the bear.It nailed me in a charge/trample, I got down to 4 HP in a G&G game and got a few cracked ribs.  At this point I think the DM gave me mercy.  Whether for a good job of avoiding the bear for so long, thoughful solution to trying to heal and haste between haste uses, living for so long when I should have died or cause he thought I might throw a fit if my guy died, I am happy to not have died.Although, I hope it wasn't the later and rather any of the former.  While I would have been pissed had I died, I don't like to be handed everything on a silver platter.  Unless the DM spills his guts, I think the world will never know  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64"

gave me a quizical look and I used a free action to say 'hi' but it didn't respond.  I thought that he might be a druid in animal form, and it was confirmed when I ran him into the village and after many rounds of bashing the villagers, he transformed into a human druid.  He is the village protector and I guess he didn't want to eat me infront of the subjects or something.Lucky me <img

like a 25% chance of making a DC 35 from a house rule -20 modifier, which I surely would have tried.Oh well.I tried to lose it the first round in the woods, but the trees where small enough for it to break through them and I was being slowed down by the under brush.It turned out to be a human in bear form, he was made cause he thought I went through his portal.  That is another story though.Once, when we faced our first undead (and if you know anything about undead in G&G, you know what I mean)  I tried to grasp a symbol that we got from a temple of healing to see if I could have some effect on the skeleton/zombie.  I was only like 3rd level and was hoping to take a cleric path since everyone else was a fighter in a low magic world.  I thought it sounded plausible that it might draw the attention of a God who might like a new follower.I wasn't alone, one other in the group tried that too.  He gave up after the first round, but I thought 'hey, if I just have faith, sopmething will happen'Wrong.5 rounds I tried, 5 rounds nothing.  Disappointed to find out later that there are no Gods in the world.Mean DM  <img
