Jar'Thol
Jar'Thol leaves the apparent remains of the ice demon previous victims and nods at Annika. "Yes, it certainly looks that way. The shrine must have been a gateway to this side. Things in the spirit world don't obey the strict laws of ours. It would explain the changing temperature. The old Vashi is making us visit all sort of interesting locales ! But I don't think the demon was what she wanted us to find." He points to the decorated reed flute. "Remember the short piece of music on the statue's scroll ? I would bet we have to replicate it with this instrument. Any of you think they can do it ? Three Flowers maybe ?"

The flute (actually more like a recorder where the reed is carved into the instrument) is a simple six hole construction, basically a peasant's instrument but not unlike the small whistle that Three Flowers used to practice with as a child. It shouldn't be too hard for him to play the simple five note refrain on the Vashti's note.
OOC: In retrospect (and after reading the Crimson Throne player guide...) I could have offered background traits to each of you to give small bonuses in minor skills. I think that Three Flower's upbringing would give him enough basic training to be able to count as "trained" in Perform (instrument).

"Be prepared, if that flute summons another creature. And thanks for the healing!" Ape says to the small shaman.
[sblock=ooc]
Couldn't we have wait with the healing untill our grace points retuned? Or did the magic healed our health?[/sblock]

OOC:
I've been thinking that I might do away with the Health/Grace element and just leave it as standard hit points, as it's a bit fiddly to keep track of the two seperate values. I might leave in a "healing surge" kind of mechanic, though, so that Jar'Thol doesn't only ever cast CLW.

OOC: I'm going to assume that Three Flowers attempts the flute piece, unless Blackrat has any objections. If anyone wants their characters to take precautions before he does so, let me know.
On the subject of hit points, see the OOC thread. Even with the Health/Grace method, Grace points don't auto-heal if there is outstanding Health damage, so healing was required by most injured parties.
