Message: <blockquote data-quote="Telsar" data-source="post: 1794779" data-attributes="member: 18837">North of TaeirnWhile the party packs up to leave, Alicia continues with her stubborn box.  She tries to wedge the box open, but it refuses.  Sawing at the lock with her sword doesn’t seem to have much effect at all, and in frustration, Alicia attacks the container repeatedly, until shards of wood start flying.  Also flying is a needle that pops out of box’s lock, and whizzes past Gwyn’s head, just missing him.[Another Str check gives 6+6=12, failed.  Sawing with a tool not really designed to saw with doesn’t work.  I knew damaging the box would eventually break it, so no rolls needed.  Happenstance roll for the poison needle to hit someone at random almost succeeded.]After the half-demon’s response to almost being poisoned [RP it if you like], Alicia finds 7 more potions in what remains of the second box, and 5 broken flasks; probably broken in her assault on the box.  The intact containers are labeled as follows:2 potions of Endure Elements1 potion of Mage Armor2 potions of Moderate Wound Curative1 potion of Serious Wound Curative1 potion of Superior Fire Resistance.Soon, the party is ready to leave; everyone on horseback except for Alicia.  Girdra, the odorous dwarf, rides with Sunedilar if he allows it.  They exit the forest, and follow around it’s eastern edge, eventually traveling north, parallel to the major road.  During the day’s travel over the plains, Gwyn, ever watchful [and the only PC with ranks of Spot], thinks something may have started following the party.  When he glimpses it, it’s far in the distance behind them, appearing to be something roughly human sized, but traveling on all fours.  But he only sees it momentarily… one minute it’s there, the next, it’s gone.  It might just be a simple animal, attracted by the party’s scent and movement.  A closer look would be required to be sure, and if it is just an animal, it would probably be spooked by any movement towards it.[Gwyn rolled Spot 14+6=20]In a prison cellOne of the men say “A creature or thing, eh?”  His tone is nonchalant, but Aligor notices the man’s knuckles are white from the strength with which he’s gripping his tray.  “I just heard the guards calling what happened there a murder.  They don’t usually call it that for a creature.”  The other man interrupts him, saying “My friend was just asking since, well, I’m sure you know it’s a brothel.  We just want to make sure it’s safe there before we pay a visit.”  Both men watch the dwarf carefully, as carefully as he is watching them.  Then before they start to eat, both men bow their heads and begin to mutter something softly.  Whether it’s a prayer or a spell, Aligor can’t be sure.</blockquote>
