[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6760950, member: 9255"] THE MORGRAVE ADVENTURES “03 FIND JAXEN WILLOWTRENDER” SEGMENT 18 “TO WINE TREE” 10/25/15 RHAAN 2, 1000 SYLBARAN, ELDEEN REACHES They restock whatever supplies they can and begin to ask questions. They are given directions to the road that leads to Wine Tree. At first, the road is well kept as any Orien trade road is. Then as they go deeper into the Eldeen Reaches the road becomes muddy and uneven. The grasslands give in to trees. The trees give in thick forest. Some there is rarely a point of greater than twilight conditions in the constant shadows of the thickening trees. RHAAN 4, 1000 Kar-Draith spots large birds circling over head. As they enter a clearing made by a forest fire they see these birds are humanoid. Immediately the dwarf calls up his Invisibility Circle as the Harpies fly slowly over head. Soon they move on. RHAAN 5, 1000 Similar trick as a stomping grumpy Hill Giant treads near them and crosses the road unaware they are there. Hardfist really, really wanted to test his brawling skill on such a big “man”. Wardrum makes it clear now is not the time. RHAAN 7, 1000 Late afternoon, Kar-Draith hears pipes from nearby. Wary of this, the dwarf is about to turn on his invisibility again when a Satyr skips and plays his pipes for them. “Hello Hello. How are we my fine travelers.” He sings between notes on his pipes. The goliath listens carefully. The lizardfolk sways and nods to the tune. “Tired” he says. Sensing a charm at work, the dwarf does what he can to drive the fey creature away. The goliath sways with the lizardfolk ranger. He is not certain if it is because of a charm or his feeble mind mimicking his friend. “We are merely passing through. I don’t want to be rude but we must be going. Thank you.” “Going so fast?” The dwarf and satyr keep up this word game until the fey creature decides it is either bored or they do not have what it wants. RHAAN 10, 1000 “How much further?” whines the goliath. “500 ft less than when you last asked.” Grumbles the dwarf. “Oh.” It has been like this for the past two days. The long walk is wearing down their minds and tolerance of each other. After all, what would the three of them have in common beyond Sharn- which in itself is debatable. This long exercise has allowed them to understand each others motions and intensions more. Invisibility doesn’t scare the goliath anymore. He still doesn’t always understand illusions but he is getting better. As they continue along the ranger spots a movement of bright blue in the brush. He makes a slight sound that the dwarf understands as a warning. “What and where?” he whispers. “To the left… in the brush. Something blue in color.” “Oh! Oh! I see them!” calls out the brawler pointing at them. As said, there is still work to be done with the goliath and subtlety. Two small but bright blue creatures rush out at them. The dwarf summons up an image of an owlbear complete with sound and smell. It charges forward from behind them. Maybe this is why the goliath misread them as being real. Even as the creatures (Akatas) attack, the brawler goes to tackle the owl bear from behind. He somehow misses as he tumbles in the grass ahead of it. The creatures are not fooled and move forward to attack. The ranger kills one leaving the one on the dwarf. Amazingly, the goliath goes to tackle the owl bear again and this time lands on top of the surprised creature even as the dwarf stabs it doing some damage. The ranger is afraid to attack so he waits this out knowing how long it will last once the goliath understands the real threat. The creature dies instantly as two club like hands punch it into the ground. He looks behind himself for the owlbear whom breaks up and disappears. “Sorry” [/QUOTE]
