I actualy sent Arrwuh to see infantry force and if they are same barbarians or Drakar Order enemy approaching (I didn't see it in your previous posts, sorry). Now it's clear they are barbarians. I have no problem with barbarians setting camp. I assume it's some kind of Protection From Evil/Good/Chaos/Law preventing him as outsider to go out?

What kind of spirit animals? What kind of magic is this 'spirit' thing? Anything about The Black Book? Knowledge(Arcana) 16 Knowledge (Arcana) 16 Knowledge (other) 30

I'll assume he tried to bypass the barrier in Astral and Ethereal and that spirit animals aren't inteligent or are not celestial in origin so he cannot communicate. In this I'll trust your judgement in Arrwuh's tactics.

Also, I'll work out some strategy potential attack as he will be out of my direct command range and will be quite independant from our position with his mobility (depending on the spirit wards of course). I believe I sent you file describing moon dog?

[sblock]The Spirit Magic is shamanstic/arcane in nature. The Barrier that he encountred prevented his entry into the area from any plane as his is by his nature a spirit animal and subject to such forces and barriers. He can roam about outside of the barrier but he can not pass into the area bewteen the two fires. Your knowledge or things arcane and of the old religion is very limited and you can find no reference to what your looking for. The hound did not try to communicate whith the spirit animals he found.....it is his best guesss that they are either totems or spirit familars of some powerful shamans. Yes i have the file on a moon dog[/sblock]

With the arrival of reinforcemnets the camp again grows by another ring with the arrivinv infantry this time facing outward in it's ring. By 5pm the smell of beef grilling over open coals and the scent of warm fresh baked bread is driving the castaways crazy. From the camp can be heard some singing and perhpas chanting....and a sharp eye detects three men going towards each fire in the two encircling lines and drawing something in the dirt as well as adding something to the fire which causes it briefly to turn bright yellow.

Vadric watches the camp below from the hilloc. "Well, if it comes to battle, there are so many that we almost won't be able to miss them," he says witha slight smile on his face.

Kellson stands next to the taller warriors and smiles along with them, "When or if it comes down to that, just let me know, I can do a little battlefield control before they get here. I don't want to be taken as a slave." He stays motionless, surveying the scene, his strands of hair falling across his eyes.

Bertrand

Bertrand assembles groups of healthy castaways for surf and spear fishing. He will ask the casters of the party to provide some light spells so the men can catch some crabs on the beach once the sun goes down. "Finnian, do you think you can talk the neighbors into trading some fish and seafood for some beef and bread if we have any luck?"

 

[Dracomeander]

"If they're willing to listen, I should be able to. But I don't know how receptive they'd be to trading for what they might consider their property. I don't know whether they consider the bounty of the sea to be part of their lands or not."

OCC: I will move things ahead on monday......waiting for others to comment.

Anniston continues to aid the moral of the defenders. Then later he approaches some of the party, "Where is the unconscious young man? Did we leave him in the tent? You know, the tent that is now surrounded and guarded by the northmen."

So, DC Knowledge 30 has nothing on the Book? Bad luck, spent critical for nothing
[/sblock]

As far as I know he is still in there. Should we go and check on him? Jaroth, would such an action provoke the tribes?

As for things to offer them, what about those two wolflings? If there is wolf tribe they might appreciate the gift and the fact that pups are kept alive and well.

Also, the area between the fires is warded magicaly, I'm not able to determine what kind of magic exactly, but it is ward of some type. Possibly alarm or some such. It is barrier for outside influences much like circle of protection from evil, but of unknown disposition.

The Hillock

The sun begins to set below the western sea, casting a soft of intense light on the beach and hillock as if trying to add a last bit of warmth before the cold of night. As the light fades, the fires forming the perimert of the tribes's encampment are refreshed once again with the powders and incancations of the three men. Soft laughter can be heard from the encampment as well as the overwhelming smell of food. The outer guard is changed and they appear to be settling in for the evening.

For Vorian
[sblock]Sadly enough yes and it is due to the fact that arcane matters and topics have been more or less supressed for a thousand years by the church. Sorry[/sblock]

For those wishing to roll a Scent Check DC 12
[sblock]The smell of highly smoked meat fills your nostrils as well as the delicate scent of a rich frutty ale.[/sblock]

For those wishing to roll an Intelligence or Wisdom Check DC 13
[sblock]Despite the long buring fires, you have never noticed anyone adding fresh fuel to them[/sblock]

Clarification---Desion was last seen in his bed in the pavillion tent some 250 yards from the HIllock
