Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 113280" data-attributes="member: 114">As Syl falls, Trajan dives down to attempt to catch her – but misses! with a scant 50 feet to go Syl reacts instinctively with the sorcerous trick she learnt many years ago – and gently floats the remaining distance to the scree slope DMs note: she was the only one who could featherfall, so in that sense it was a "lucky" hit.Trajan carries Syl back up to the rest of the party, but even though they try to angle their climb sideways around the peak it doesn’t seem to put off the defenders boulders. Eventually K’tan decides that he’s had enough. He says so in no uncertain terms and sets off down the cliff again. Azrin points out that he has used up almost all the divine power vouchsafed to him at the start of the day (2 spells left) and questions what state they are going to be in if they actually reach the top. Furthermore, it is even more icy and slippery up there. After a short discussion Darra decides to retreat down as well, and the rest of the party follow. The direct assault on Steeple Mountain has come to an end.With the aid of the spider climbing and the remains of the fly spell, all reach the ground safely again – the barrage from above ceased when they were on the way down. As the sun starts to set on their first day in Bellhold they retreat wearily to the Bell and Clapper. Trajan mentions that up on the mountain he thought he heard a voice whisper to him – it said something like “I hear you coming. Your thoughts are very tasty. Hurry to me, my little delicacies”Several of the others also heard whispered threats or promises while on the mountain face, but nobody can say where the voice came from. Worrying.After an evening meal, a short talk with Mayor Hob and another study of the old diary, they decide that in the morning they need to check out the old mine – it seems likely that the dragon used to have some way of getting from his eyrie down to the mine, and maybe they can use that way to get up to the dragons old hideaway unannounced.They retire to another unsettled night full of nightmares.</blockquote>
