Test of Millicent (Jansson, Ruth)
ROUND FOUR
Initiatives (New initiatives due to Ruth's appearance)
Good Squirrel - 25
Jansson - 20
Ruth - 12
Evil Squirrels (9) - 10
The good squirrel runs by the pair once again, darting for the opposite end of the clearing.
Jansson slashes out with his sword at the nearest squirrel...
He gets an 18, which hits! He deals 6 points to squirrel 2.
Ruth, now surrounded by the squirrels that were previously attacking Tori'shel, takes a swing at one of them...
She gets a 20, which hits! She deals 8 damage to squirrel 10.
...and almost manages to crush it in one blow.
The evil squirrels - two on Jansson, four on Ruth - now pounce upon their opponent, biting and clawing rather viciously...
...and none of them manage to get through either of the pair's guard and armor.
The four squirrels chasing the good one dash by, and both Jansson and Ruth manage to attack them as they pass by.
Jansson gets a 22, which hits! He deals 6 damage to squirrel 7.
Squirrel 7 is dead.
Ruth gets a 17, which hits! She deals 13 damage to squirrel 8.
Squirrel 8 is dead.
Little remains of the squirrels that were chasing the good squirrel, though the pair still have their own six squirrels to deal with...

Test of Rashida (Syld, Narok)
The thirteen images of the goddess Rashida smile, and nod.
"You have chosen... wisely."
The thirteen images begin to converge together, meshing seamlessly. In a few moments, there is a single image of the goddess standing before you.
"Well done... Syld, Narok." She says, nodding. "This was not an easy test. The Unseelie are... slightly hostile towards those with psionic potential. They believe that these tests help ensure that the agents of the illithid do not enter their forest."
"I help them in this venture, as I see it as for a good cause. Though their methods are sometimes slightly unorthodox, they mean well."
"As for you," She says, smiling, "I often reward those who complete this test. Though I see this test as for a good cause, I know that those who go through it often get frustrated... and a reward at the end tends to soften the blow."
Two items materialize at the pair's feet: a long staff with veins of crystal running across it, and a pair of bracers that have a metallic sheen to them.
"You may find these two useful." Rashida says. "Though I will not tell you what they are... that you must do on your own."
With that, the two disappear in a flash of black light, along with the two items.

The Rest of the Group (Animus, Desimus, Tori'shel)
Syld and Narok suddenly appear - accompanied by a flash of black light - in the circle of stones, next to Osius and Shardorn. At their feet are a pair of bracers and a long staff.

First Post
Osius
Osius squats down cross-legged on the ground.
"Let me summarize what Shardorn and I went through. It went fairly simply - the fake ghosts weren't susceptible to my stomp ability so identifying the real one was relatively easy. I tried a few mental attacks, but they didn't seem to work... Shardorn used some curative spells on it.
"I'm surprised it worked," Osius smiles.

The Rest of the Group (Animus, Desimus, Osius, Syld, Narok; Shardorn, Tori'shel)
Narok, seeing Tori'shel on the ground, quickly casts a spell...
Tori'shel heals 10 points.
With a gasp, the technologist opens her eyes.
"Thanks." She says simply.

Syld - after a few moments, a few items begin to glow. A pair of very small crystals, and one unusual object that seems to be made of chunks of crystal connected by wiring; and the quarterstaff that you received from Rashida, are all glowing.
[Edit - Also, just a reminder: don't forget that identify only takes a few minutes and reveals all properties of the item.]
