Off to Grandma's house we go

After a refreshing night of rest, the group sets out from their hidden alcove, with the One Ring in hand and proceeds to head back towards the Bralini's mansion, having received directions from the gnome Romulin.

Once again the forest is less imposing for the group and you arrive at the home of the fey creature. It is quite tall, standing above the trees of the area and offering it a wide view of the region. As you approach you see a tall wall surrounding the building, it looks like a massive briar patch that's grown over 12 feet tall and is so tightly together to form this obstacle. An area of the "wall" has been cut down and a heavy oak door is closed, itself adorned with various decorative drawings of various fey creatures and plants.

As you approach the gates a figure appears in front of them. It is translucent and wears heavy armor, although it appears ancient. "Speak your business with Lord Aramil" it commands in a hauntingly hollow voice, directly into your minds.

Ok, done levelling up to 3:

I used my level 2 rebuild to swap my Int and Cha - now I have Int 10 and Cha 8. Seemed more in-keeping with the way I've been playing him. Technically I need DM permission to use the rebuild during an adventure - renau1g, you ok with this?

I also swapped Student of the Sword for Warforged TacticsThicket Defense, and Earth Shield Strike for Warden's Lunge. Then I learned Sudden Roots, Nature's Abundance, and Earthgrasp Strike.

After the last 24 hours, Derien's tolerance for fey flotsam has run low. "We carry a possession of his: a ring, strayed from its proper place into the hands of the Lady of Nightmares."

"That is good, but we have also heard of your assault and slaying of our fellow fey with little provocation. Perhaps you need to convince us that you would not conduct yourselves with the same brutish manners that you've demonstrated thus far in our realm." the specter says.

Haruka's eyes widen at the spirit's words, and then immediately narrow to blazing slits. When she speaks, it sounds like a Dragonborn, the tone is low and icy.

"Really? That's what you heard? Little provocation? Let me tell you what actually happened. Time after time, we attempted to negotiate, or even just communicate, with your kin. And they would shoot us. With arrows. Or feed us to their pets. We had little choice but to defend ourselves from these thugs who were trying to kill us. You may call us brutish, but we're not the one who were murdering innocent travelers!"

Haruka takes a deep breath and continues with the voice of the little girl, "Besides, what are you going to do? Not let us in?" She giggles manically. "We have your master's ring. If he wants it back, then either we come in, or he comes out."

[sblock=ooc]I suppose there should be a skill in there. Intimidate, +8, hopefully with a large bonus for being right.[/sblock]
 

“Groovy day to you too, Casper!”

Rhole bows deeply. The ring is nowhere in sight, or at least nowhere visible on his person. Last time you saw it, Rock was squeezing its head through to use it as some bizarre sort of necklace.

“The cases you speak of does not do justice to this fine crew. I’m a fey and have not only travelled safely with them,” (Rhole suppresses a cough) “I’ve had one helluva blast! I’m sure that any smackdowns they have dealt out would purely be out of self-defense.”

Rhole uses Words of Friendship​

[sblock=When sighting their destination]Before approaching the mansion, Rhole would like to have performed the Glib Limerick ritual if that’s ok? (takes 1 min)[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Rhole]
Sure, as long as you mark off the ritual components (This is the second one you've cast correct? So you're all out?) Never mind you get 1/day free (I'm assuming the ripper is your focus?)
