Message: <blockquote data-quote="Speaks With Stone" data-source="post: 175370" data-attributes="member: 375">Hmmm.  Perhaps I should start picking up some more goodberries.  I think it was the limit of 8 per day per person that slowed me down on those.  I keep thinking, a single first level spell by Raven has better potential than the goodberries.  I have been playing with Regenerate Light Wounds a bit of late.  It has been useful as often as it has not.  I've recently brewed up a batch of RLW potions so Scar can just drink and run.  I like the RLW because it will automatically stabilize anyone and also has a better upward potential if cast early in the combat.  Still a bit of a trick to pull off right.As for the splitting up call, it was risky, but without my spells I'm just a mediocre spearman.  So the plan was for me and my 2 kestral friends to wing out, I'd sleep in bird form, pray in bird form and then return.  I don't like unnecessary risks, but this one seemed necessary.  Speaks is a survivor and not a hero, he just keeps getting pushed into different corners and having to fight out.  My allies have repeatedly gotten me into things better left alone, but I'm afraid that this time I may be getting them in over their heads.  My respect for Great Root (and certainly he is the most likable of my neighbors) is immense and his urgency is my urgency. But this has lead to the present state where my paranoia has been kicking in to overdrive.  Without spilling the beans, I need more allies and I need them now.  But I really don't trust anyone but the dwarves.  A bizarre situation for a druid to be sure.  The Coritani I trust, but I also know that they are in no position to lend aid.  The Glyndeners are unstable allies at best.  I may be better off allying with the kobolds or gnolls, or at least try to engineer the gnoll/ogre alliance into confrontations where we can use them against the undead.  Of course, Raven's frown at this suggestion was deep and steadfast.  If I wish to keep dwarves on my side, I will have to forgoe any alliance with the gnolls and apparently tricking them is too similar to working with them for Raven's liking.Let's see.  There is the church of St. Cuthbert.  I'm not too comfortable with that idea, but Scar vouches for them and I do need clerics.  There is the church of Elhonna and the Druid Circle back in Emor, but I am too far out to send an animal messenger to them.  Plus there are other problems related to these ideas, which will be revealed soon.  Sometimes, I miss the simple days of orc shamans and banelars.</blockquote>
