"Hello again brother."
Back so soon? I thought more of you.
"I went down fighting, the mad druid hit me again, at least it wasn't that damn wolverine."
What do you think your companions will say, when they wake you?
"They'll probably tell me not to rush headlong into things. I think I did the right thing though. If I had done things different, things probably would have been worse. The past is past."The silver light that surrounded his brother brightened before it dimmed once more and he stood among the living once more.
*****************************************************************
Kaelan stood and looked at himself newly healed thanks to Catherine. He nodded his thanks toward the woman, as he pulled the wand from his pack. The places where the wolverine, wolf had healed mostly, leaving pink scars in their wake. He could alter his appearance and make them disappear, but he would bear the battle-scars proudly.
Kaelan looks at Catherine. "Aside from a few lucky shots by them, I think the battle went well. We fought on their terms, and we prevailed. I can look for tracks to see where they came from, but I fear we will find little. They probably carry all they had."
Seeing Sepoto looking at the remains, Kaelan asks the group, "Anybody have any way to detect magical auras? It would make our search a bit easier. He helps Sepoto look through the bodies. Search: 8
He taps himself with the wand three times. 3 charges for himself: 14hp
He then moves to Catherine and taps the wand on her 4 times. 4 charges, 19 hp
Seeing her wounds are more than he thought he taps her two more times. 15 hp to Catherine, two charges
Finally he touches Darrick with the wand two times. 2 charges 14 hp
He then touches the wand to Charles. 4 hp to Charles, 1 charge
[sblock=ooc] Pebele, don't worry about it, I don't feel picked on at all. The second time I healed Catherine, I expended two charges I didn't need to. So if you look at the invis castle link, I didn't use those last two rolls. So 14hp for me, 34 to Catherine, and 14 for Darrick.[/sblock]

Sepoto is able to recover three arrows that appear to be completely undamaged.
Sepoto and Kaelan examine the druids. The first two druid's to fall, who had carried clubs had itendical equipment. Sepoto and Charles recovered two clubs, two sets of hide armor, sixteen unknown potions, eight unknown flasks and 110 gp. They had nothing else of interest.
The last one to fall, who they assumed was the 'leader', was carrying a black iron scimitar, hide armor, heavy wooden shield, 6 unknown potions and 48 gp mixed coins.
They knew that if they were unable to use the equipment, they could return to the Academy with it and trade it in for more useful items.
Also on his body was a map of an unknown area and a sealed document. They also found three unsealed documents written in a language that they did not recognize.
The sealed document was sealed with some sort of symbol pressed in to the wax.
(The party found a total of 158 gp between the three druids. I will tally up XP at a later time.)

After the druids belongings are gathered into one large pile, he skirts the outside of the camp, looking for where the druids came from, not expecting to find much. Search check 7, bah! Satisfied that their isn't anything there he sits down next to Treb and begins sniffing at potions, while speaking. "Well, we have some important documents that we can't translate, some gear of which we don't know is really valuable or not, and some lizardfolk out in the jungle that need to be visited. Oh and we can't forget any allies these 3 have left behind," he says gesturing at the bodies of the Children. "We should probably inform those at Havenwood, that the immediate threat is diminished if not gone."
[sblock=ooc]What's the word team? Pebele, I have only a +5 mod in spellcraft, vs the DC of 25. Would it be possible for me to find several potions that look and/or smell the same and take twenty on it(taking twenty minutes) to possibly identify several at once? The black scimitar, any specific check you want to identify the type of metal?[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] For the black scimitar I would accept a craft(armor), Blacksmithing or Weaponsmithing check.
There are 2 distinct type of potions: 18 are light blue, with a blue seal on them, and 4 are yellow with a clear seal.
There are also 8 Flasks, which are different than the potions. All 8 of the flasks are identical.
Since the price for failing the check is the inability to try to identify them, I'm not going to allow anyone to take 20. I believe that Catherine has a +6 and Trebuchet has a +9 to Spellcraft, however.
So, if each of you make a check, then the odds should be in favor of being able to identify the potions. One correct identification will identify all the potions of that type.[/sblock]

Sepoto watches Kaelan as he systematically strips the bloodied druids of their possessions. He holds no rancor toward the act, as he, like Kaelan knows that what the Children carry may be of use to them in their future travails and aid them in uncovering the mystery of what is happening in Havenwood.
Seeing the undignified scattered bodies of the animals and Children in deathly repose troubles him, however. Not certain how the Children would prefer the disposition of their remains, but knowing them, like he, to be followers of nature's spirits, however misguided, the shifter elects to act on his own before his Sovereign Host worshipping companions propose something as absurd as burying them in holes.
He gathers the bodies, dragging them, one by one, animals and druids, and proceeds to lean them against the base of the largest trees in the clearing; sitting upright for the druids, in a sleeping posture for the animals. Had he the strength he would find some way to rest them in the great boughs above, but practicality would have to suffice here. Regardless, they were close to the tree, and now in I'Katra's hands. Sepoto felt certain that there was some aspect of their beliefs that the many spirits in I'Katra's service would look upon and escort to their next life. Something about their appearance suggested to the shifter that being devoured by the beasts of the jungle, and decomposing at the base of this great tree before they traveled to their next life would put them at peace. He quietly whispers in each of their ears, the following:
"Everything must die, and everything must be born again, so I'Katra whispers, and so it is."
Not meeting the gazes of his likely perplexed companions, Sepoto begins to gather his disappointing arrows. While patrolling the edge of the clearing, he tries to ascertain the path that the druids may have followed to get here.
[SBLOCK] After giving their fallen foes some semblance of decorum in death, Sepoto gathers his intact arrows and Searches the perimeter of the clearing to determine if any paths or tracks lead away from druid encampment. Search = 10 [/SBLOCK]

"Many thanks, Kaelan. Have to see if I can mend the sleeve this evening.... But more pressingly, If we can't back-track the Druids," Darrick offers, "Perhaps we can track their animals? Less likely to practice wood-craft, I should think."
He considers the sealed envelope for a moment. "Should we open this, do you think? Or do we risk some kind of magical retribution?"

"Well what I wanted to mention was the outstanding work everyone did in battle today. However there are a couple areas I think we can improve in. Darrick and I need to move more quickly into melee when we can, to help us keep up with Charles and Kaelan. After we closed to melee with the enemy, I'd say the two of us did a good job to help bring them down." Catherine nods to Sepoto. "Sepoto did a great job of firing from cover and keeping their heads down while the rest of us engaged them hand to hand." Catherine points to Charles. "Charles, you did an excellent job of harrying the druids and their animals, and that fire trick was very impressive." Waving in Trebuchet's direction she continues. "And Trebuchet, your spells found their way through the melee to hit their mark precisely. Well done. Do you have anything more...explosive? We could use that kind of power in these larger battles, if possible." Catherine then looks to Kaelan, sighs and hangs her head slightly, before addressing him. "And lastly, Kaelan...your initial charge was very, very effective. You took out one of their wolves, before it could even become a real factor. That's very good,She pauses momentarily, however...recklessly charging into a large group of enemies while the rest of the party is a long ways away was not only foolish, it very nearly got you killed...twice. I'm just glad I got to you in time. For the sake of yourself and all of us who depend on you, please try to refrain from getting too far out from the rest of the group."
She watches while the fallen are searched, as she ponders their next move. "I'm sorry, whatever language these three are written in is beyond my understanding. Perhaps someone in Havenwood, or at the academy can translate them. I'll see if I can help identify the liquids they were carrying, and if there are no objections I'd like to break the seal on the other document."
