X4-5: across the mountains - IC

Is the bottom of the map south? I will assume it is.

"I see no magic," says Nargon. "Let us investigate those buildings in the distance." The orc-blood points toward the south.

must be dark speech then. Bevin takes 666 damage and his alignment is now evil.

WAAAHHHHHHH!!!

"I see no magic," says Nargon. "Let us investigate those buildings in the distance." The orc-blood points toward the south.

Rajah is right on Nargon's heels.

Bevin is coming along at a more measured pace with Aram and Girgal.

"If you wish. But can you take a small look into the well? With your ability to fly and see in the dark, I should be really easy to check. And if it is something down there, it's ought to be important." Girgal asks, this time lacking any animal metaphor in his speech.

"Indeed." The half-orc pokes his head into the covered well, looking down toward the water for anything of interest.

 

[kinem]

The deep well seems otherwise ordinary. There is no sign of magic.

When the party explores a bit to the south, you find:

N: The outside is like that of most of the other buildings - plastered and whitewashed stone. It has no other decoration. The door and windows are a shimmering black wood that does not appear natural. (When Nargon checks, these are indeed found to be magical.)

M: This open-fronted building contains an assortment of tools and junk that must have collected at the abbey for many years. In this shed may be found carpenter and stonemason tools, rope, wheelbarrows and handcarts, lamp oil, firewood, wooden buckets, and other common items. Most of the items are covered with dust and cobwebs. A few, like the lamp oil, appear to be used from time to time. There is nothing of great value in this shed.

L: This low building is different from all the others in appearance. Instead of whitewashed, plastered stone, it is covered with dried, red clay. Pressed into the clay at many different points are mystical seals. (They are not magical.)

"All in all, a decidedly unusual place, to be sure. Aram, Nargon, Girgal, do you all wish you explore these places in more depth tonight, or have you had quite enough excitement for one day?" Bevin says as he stifles a yawn.

"The time for my prayers draw nearer. And I already used some mighty magic and got no sleep sofar. Let's call it a day." Girgal answers, sounding a bit tired suddenly.

Aram nods, stretches and yawns. "Sounds good. Let us retire for the night. I will take a middle watch, to allow those of you that are spellweavers to get some uninterrupted sleep."

Bevin says, "I wll take the last watch and do my studying then as well." He then reclines and is quickly sawing logs.

Rajah says, "I guess that I will take an early watch. My magic requires no such weakness as daily study," he says with an air of superiority.
