[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7305638, member: 6777052"] Herewulf's rapier was at the druid's throat. "I would not harm thee for the world," quoth the paladin fluently, "but thy neck is where my blade is about to be." Oakleaf gibbered, knowing that he was powerless for he was but a 4th level druid (MM 346) and all his spells and cantrips had a V component. Except possibly [I]Beast Sense[/I] but that didn't seem very useful under the circumstances and besides, he hadn't prepared it this morning. In a mad panic, he did what any craven evil druid would do when faced with the situation - he surrendered. "Melcy! I yierd!" he cried. "You will end the charm on my companions, then you will lead us to your castle and open all your treasure chests before we lock you in your own dungeons," growled Herewolf. "And no tricks," he added, because you always have to say that or it doesn't count. Oakleaf was careful not to nod but succeeded in saying "Yez, Yez!" without moving his throat muscles. Nord snapped out of his charmed condition, whipped out a length of cord and lashed Oakleaf's hands together behind his back with a complicated sailor's knot, then tied a length of rope to them so that he couldn't run away. "How much xp do you reckon this one is worth?" he wondered. "I reckon he's CR2," suggested Od, "So that's 150xp each for the three of us, half way to level two." With a little gentle prodding, Oakleaf led them along the trail through the forest to the gates of a castle that was built entirely of wood, held together with ropes. Not an ounce of metal or stone had been used in its construction - you could tell that the builder had been a fanatical druid. Atop one of the turrets was a flagpole, and flying from it was a green banner showing an oak tree [I]passant regardant[/I] with a crown of holly leaves. The castle gate opened at Oakleaf's approach and they all made for the great hall which had a long table laden with dishes of food on wooden platters. Sensing that the food was probably drugged, Herewulf warned the others not to touch it. A twinge of annoyance flitted across Oakleaf's face at this. It was very brief but Od was adept a reading people's expressions and he spotted it. "Lead us to the treasure!" demanded Herewulf. The druid shrugged and made for a flight of stairs spiralling up into one of the turrets. It was as well that Nord was alert for tricks, for when they reached the top of the stairs ... [/QUOTE]
