They hide behind some bushes to wait. As the poor unsuspecting messenger gallops by, they spring their plan into action:Druid: I cast "Hold" on his horse.DM: On the horse? Umm, okay. *fails saving throw*DM: The horse freezes, but you know, there's a whole lot of inertial energy in that horse. Frozen in mid stride, the horse goes tumbling end over end. The rider screams an obscenity (& badly fails a dex role) and is thrown and crushed by his former steed.Druid: Crap!(DM roles damage, rider & horse fail another couple saving throws)DM: Well, you killed the messenger, and you really ought to think about euthanizing that horse.The party deliberates, kills the horse, searches the messenger, and then decides they want to hide all traces of what happened here, probably because they were too embarrassed.Paladin: We hide the bodies!DM: Uh, where? Behind a tree? Horses are heavy.(Long silence)Paladin: We bury the bodies!DM: Got a shovel?(Long silence)Druid: I cast "Earth Maw" on the bodies!DM: Alright, the horse & rider are crushed into gory chunks and engulfed under the ground. There is now an uneven, blood soaked patch of ground here. No one will ever suspect that their messenger met his end here.Druid: Umm, I "Create Water" on top of it to wash away the blood.DM: Fine, now it's a muddy, boggy, uneven patch in the middle of the trail. No one will ever suspect.Druid: Okay, so I cast the reverse, "Remove Water"Paladin: And I scatter leaves over it!DM: Errm, fine. You leave the site, confidant that no one will ever be suspicious of the uneven, cracked earth with the pile of leaves sitting on top, smack in the middle of the trail.</blockquote>
