OOC: We're waiting on the GM to tell us what happens when we set off.

(OOC: No time to do this update--I'm typing quick posts in between work. Lots of work. Should let up somewhat by the end of next week, but I should have this updated before then anyway, particularly after Tuesday when big things are due.)

OOC: Ahh, that's where you've been hiding.

(OOC: What, when were you guys being suicidal? With your enhanced pace combined with Rope Trick, you guys should be okay for the first bit. But I'd probably breeze through a bunch of days of avoided encounters and safe rests to get to the final stretch, when things start to get interesting, leading up to The Final Battle )

The Final Battle )

^ that suicidal LOL

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: The Final Battle is...interesting. Depending on how you approach it, how rested you are, and what you kill, it could be very dangerous. In playtest now that several of the characters are gone, even assuming you guys level up once more, it still has the highest lethality of any encounter in the adventure, and it's the part that made my little brother say "They're dead"

That said, if you win, you get bragging rights! )

(ooc: so we should pick on as many side fights on the way there to level is what you are saying...)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: You could...but time is a factor too. It'll be interesting. And hey, in playtest sometimes you guys win as you are right now, just level 10. I've been accused of playing the PCs "too smart" and "too much as a team" when I playtest, though )

*Through a careful and clever combination of increased speed, stealthy aerial scouting, and Rope Trick to rest the night, the group avoids the corrupted creatures and dark panthers, continuing onward for days, until they reach an area where the entire land seems and feels...wrong. Plants and tree are twisted and sinister-looking, and the sounds echoing from all around are disturbing. Lyssa clutches at something in her pocket.*

"We're being exposed to concentrated corruption here, much like when being attacked by corrupted creatures...Is there anything we can do about it?"

*There is an ominous roar in the distance.*
