After taking the full circle of the temple, he's pretty sure that he's not far from the three minute mark that Hedowin warned him about.OnlytheStrong said:ooc: Bregan will attempt to get closer to the two large front gate guards. If he thinks he is detected........... then he will run like hell

Bregan returns to the newfound arcane user. "The front appears to be the only way in, unless you can shrink us all and fly us up to the windows."

OOC: Lesser Restoration (self) heals 4 STR; CLW for Alexa heals 12. I guess we'll have to see how the rest of the day and night pass before the long-term care shakes out. Roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1520823/
IC: Once the first portion of her healing tasks were complete, she (rather haltingly) began to dig out the rations that Talas had offered. She looked over at him once or twice, and seemed about to speak- but in the end she kept quiet and ate what appeared to be her first meal in some time.

"Well," he says as he taps his forehead,"It would take me a little while to make the scrolls, but I could shrink us all down nice and small. But I haven't mastered the ability to give myself flight yet. Soon though, I think."
"What did you see, and did you get the impression that they could spot you even while invisible?"

Talas
Talas speaks to Chevri, after seeing her glance in his direction. "You don't follow The Flame do you?"

Chevri took perhaps a moment or two longer than strictly necessary to finish the mouthful of hardtack she had been gnawing on. Her voice was still quiet, but there was a bit of a sharpness to her tone. "You know that many of my people- not just my own clan, but many shifters of divergent breeds and locales believe that the crusaders of the Silver Flame would not be content until we are wiped from the earth? I myself might yet believe such stories, if I still dwelled within the isolated village where I was born." she paused, and her voice lightened. "I know now that such dire tales are not the truth of the matter, and I even understand why the stories remain. For I am a follower of nature, the power and patterns of the natural world around us- the faith commonly called 'druids'. I aspire to the great tradition of the Moonspeakers, the guardians of the history and culture of all the shifter tribes, and as part of my instruction I have learned much about the other faiths that are recognized in the lands around us. The tales of the Silver Flame I have learned but lately, for few of my own people learn the truth behind something that so many of us fear." She paused again, and looked around the campsite. "Why is it that you ask? Do you follow the Flame, or did your brother- who I must guess has been lost to you only recently if you still carry his provisions?"

"I know a little of your faith, I was just confirming it for myself. You have nothing to fear from us, Bregan has been able to trust us, and we would mean you no harm. The Silver Flame does not count me as a follower, but Cholas did, and it failed him." Talas pauses to spit on the ground, but when he looks up, it is easily seen that there is guilt and sadness on his face. "My only desire now is to finish our job here, and make sure the lizardfolk get what is coming to them."

"Every one of us gets what is coming to us, sooner or later- it is the way of nature, and few indeed are strong enough to defy that. Even fewer actually understand the full weight of their fates, or can accept their final destiny without complaint." For just a moment, her voice seemed to be that of someone far older, the cadence of her words almost as if the passage were some kind of ritual inflection. She shook her head sadly. "I am sorry for your loss, but I will do what I can to aid you." She looked around the group again, then off in the direction that the mage and the scout had gone. "What is it that you seek at the temple, and what led you here? It cannot be simple hatred of the scaly ones that has drawn you this far into the wilderness..."

Talas listens to the shifter's wisdom before answering her question. "Any help you can provide would be beneficial, especially if you have talent in healing. Our reserves are limited after we lost Cholas."
"What we are looking for, I can't really say, because we really don't know the specifics..." he trails off, looking at Drekhad and Alexa for any sign that he should not continue. Even so he continues, "The idol the temple is dedicated to is draconic in nature, or at least half-draconic. That is why the lizardfolk defend it so. We seek relics under the temple from an age long past for our employer. His name is Sur'kil and he says he is a researcher, and independent at that. He paid us all well to come, but we can surely say now that is wasn't enough." Throughout this part of the conversation, Talas can be seen unconsciously sqeezing something in his belt pouch.

The party reunites at the campsite, and the night passes without disturbance. Chevri's care enables Talas to recover his strength fully, and anyone who was injured to recover double the normal night's hit points back. Chevri, however, unable to give herself such care, only recovers a single point of strength damage.
In the morning you all return to the temple grounds, ready for battle anew. You find the temple portico still just the way Bregan described it, complete with the hulking forms of two blackscales moving among the columns, though staying close tot he temple entrance.
OOC: You can set yourselves up anywhere on the path or in the undergrowth on the map. Let me know where you will be and what you're holding, then roll spot and initiative checks for me. We're not necessarily entering combat immediately, but it should save some time when we do.
