** so, three watches? Who is on each watch?

Mollari · « **Reply #41 on:** December 04, 2019, 03:04:30 PM »

Skrawk asks for the first watch. "It's better for me if my sleep isn't interrupted..."

Skrawk/Rob

Skrawk will check with Jay: "I'll be alternating quiet observation on the ground with gliding around just above tree level, OK?"

Skrawk/Rob

** Patches, Dayn, and Skrawk, please give us a Stamina roll. d100 plus your stamina bonus.

Mollari · « **Reply #45 on:** December 05, 2019, 10:26:53 PM »

Rolled 1d100 : 53, total 53

Skrawk/Rob

Mollari · « **Reply #46 on:** December 05, 2019, 10:28:21 PM »

What's the Stamina bonus? Endurance? Constitution?

Old Man · « **Reply #47 on:** December 05, 2019, 10:37:29 PM »

Dayn(did you mean Resistance-Stamina skill?)

Rolled 1d100+35 : 13 + 35, total 48

Mollari · « **Reply #48 on:** December 05, 2019, 11:32:25 PM »

Exactly; that's what I was guessing -- the Stamina Resistance Roll?

I8flesh2 · « **Reply #49 on:** December 06, 2019, 04:12:03 PM »

** I actually meant it to be a SD roll, but as you will see it didn’t really matter.

The night passes quietly and without incident (other than Ammon having to wake Patches on occasion). The new dawn breaks over the mountains and all is quiet. Not a single noise, no morning dove, no chittering chipmunk; in fact, since getting close to the Orc encampment, you have not seen or heard any animals.

Actions? How are you proceeding to the encampment?

Mollari · « **Reply #50 on:** December 06, 2019, 04:22:21 PM »

Skrawk suggests he do a preliminary overflight, then report back. He'll maintain air cover assuming the others want to advance to the camp.

Skrawk/Rob

Ammon

Asks Dayn is she'd be willing to look for a safe path into the hive while Skrawk scouts overhead.

Old Man · « **Reply #52 on:** December 07, 2019, 02:51:28 PM »

Dayn

Replies, "Yes, I can do that. I will scout the woods ahead, mark a path if one can be found, and return here."

I8flesh2 · « **Reply #53 on:** December 09, 2019, 06:07:06 PM »

As the rest of you lean up from breakfast, Dayn heads out toward the encampment with Skrawk taking to the skies above her.

** while Dayn and Skrawk investigate the encampment, what are the rest of you doing?

Qaron starts strumming his lute, but it is obvious that he isn’t really playing anything, but rather doing it out of nervous habit.

Red has been out of sorts this entire trip. He goes from one thing to the next, and then back again. Currently, he is looking through a manuscript of some age, muttering to himself, “I know I’ve seen it in here before.”

The guards are taking turns patrolling the immediate area and watching you back, perhaps a little miffed that Patches was able to get this close without any warning.

Biereman · « **Reply #55 on:** December 13, 2019, 01:55:25 AM »

Patches is packing up what little belongings he brought with him. While doing so he's giving himself a bit of a pep talk to help him prepare for the upcoming journey.

I8flesh2 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 13, 2019, 02:15:21 AM »

** what is Lorelei doing?

The morning passes quietly, as you watch Solaris (the sun god) chase after Nabia (the moon goddess).

Tera and Jay forage in the nearby wood, gathering sustenance to feed the party, but keeping a watchful eye on the path so nobody can sneak up on the group again.

Red spends the morning reading through a small 20-30 page book, and when finished he rereads it, hoping to gain some knowledge he hasn’t already gleaned from the passage the first twenty times he read it.

“How can anyone study with that infernal noise?!? What is that?!?,” he screams abruptly.

The rest of you stare at each other in bewilderment for a moment before you hear it as well.

Thwapt... thwapt... thwapt...

Softly at first, and then gradually louder.

THWAPT... THWAPT... THWAPT...

And, then you learn what is making the sound as a creature lands in the nearby clearing.

It does not land gracefully, more like it crash lands in the clearing. From the looks of it, it is quite ancient.

The ladies (Tera and Jay) scramble for their weapons and take up a defensive formation, back to back.

The creature watches each of you, but is breathing heavy and doesn’t look like it can muster up the strength to take flight again quickly. It’s labored breathing is interrupted as an old man riding a horse thunders past without looking back and not caring at all about your presence.
