DESCRIPTION
A discern location spell is among the most powerful means of locating creatures or objects. Nothing short of a mind blank spell or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object. Discern location circumvents normal means of protection from scrying or location. The spell reveals the name of the creature or object's location (place, name, business name, building name, or the like), community, county (or similar political division), country, continent, and the plane of existence where the target lies.
To find a creature with the spell, you must have seen the creature or have some item that once belonged to it. To find an object, you must have touched it at least once.
You send your mystic energy into the ether. The answer instantly returns as follows:
Akor Scourgebane
30 feet west of the twisted wood and 3 leagues south of Mystralas temple.
Myth Dranor
-Insert appropriate country-
-Insert appropriate continent-
Prime Material plane
Yes we will make our way to where we think the site is.
Yes. using Mystrala's temple as a landmark we will go there and then bank south for 3 leagues.
In the plane of dreams.
even as they will it the plane shifts around Rosa and TIalvoron, though the ground in their vicinity seems to remain steady. Seconds later the two stand in a meadow, bathed in golden light, next to an impossibly tall, impossibly dark wooded area. The trees soar higher than you can see. The underbrush is so thick it makes nearly a solid wall.
Tia takes an exploratory step toward the wood. Immediately in front of him a pair of disembodied glowing almond eyes open. The edges flicker with unholy light. less than a second later another three pairs open near the first. Then nine. Then more and more and more and more. The eyes open in a massive wave to cover the wood inside and out. 1000 glowing almond eyes watch you with clear malice in their eyes.
In the prime.
Akor the animals have disappeared. The wood stands eerily silent. Unnaturally silent.
Walking right up to the edge of the woods, Akor searches for a way in.
Rosa hides herself from the eyes

The entire plane is strongly chaoticly aligned. So Much so
That it took you a few moments to adjust when you first arrived. The chaotic concentration is even stronger in the wood.When you pop the smoke:
The sound of 1000 Todlers laughing manically eminates from the woods. The eyes bob slightly as they do so.
Walking right up to the edge of the woods, Akor searches for a way in.
You think you see a rabbit trail about 100 yards to your left. There's a small opening in the underbrush about a foot in diameter, though not perfectly circular. Other than that you'd have to try going over the trees and finding a place to land inside.
Akor takes flight, flying up over the trees and looks for a safe-ish place to land.
Tialvoron, seurrounded by his eidolon, casts greater heroism.
"What is your purpose here?" he asks of the eyes.
Tialvoron, seurrounded by his eidolon, casts greater heroism.
"What is your purpose here?" he asks of the eyes.
They respond to Tia's question by another round of maniacal giggling. The eyes bobbing mockingly.
Akor takes flight, flying up over the trees and looks for a safe-ish place to land.
The canopy is very thick. Though your knowledge of nature you can estimate what might be an area between a few trees. You'll be going in blind, but it's a start.
Tialvoron proceeds in the direction we were headed.
Tialvoron proceeds in the direction we were headed.
A chorus of
"Play with us!"
"play With us"
"play with Us!"
"Play with us!"
"play With us"
"play with Us!"
"Play with us!"
"play With us"
"play with Us!"
emits from the wood. The eyes get increasingly excited as Tia walks forward. You begin to see the shine of white teeth flash occasionally in the gloom.
Tialvoron draws his sword.
"You don't want to play a game with us. Do not delay my work. Go bother some other dreamer."
In the realm of dreams
Tialvoron draws his sword.
"You don't want to play a game with us. Do not delay my work. Go bother some other dreamer."

The forest erupts in sinister childlike laughter.
"He wants to play."
**Laughter of children**
"To play"
**Laughter of children**
"To play"
**Laughter of children**
"He does."
**Laughter of children**
"He does."
**Laughter of children**
"What kind of game do we play?"

"What kind of game do we play?"
**Laughter of children**
"A fun game."
**Laughter of children**
"Game."
**Laughter of children**
**Laughter of children**
"A game with pretty pointy things in the dark."
**Darker more sinister laughter**
"Yeeessssss."
**Sudden silence and the eye's wink simultaneously out and goes dark.**
Round 1
On the prime material.
Akor decends between a croup of trees. The wood is dark, but you can see a small clearing. As you land you hear nothing. Eerily nothing.
You see mist coming from the wood in a surge. It covers the area around you almost instantly.
The mist is extremely cold. and you hear clopping of horse galloping not far off.
Round 1
Plane of dreams.
In a blur a small shapes zip impossibly fast from one side of the wood and then back into it.
Rosa's
Tia's
Confirm crit
Rosa takes no damage, but she does feel and hear a blade run across her defenses.
Tia takes 19 points of slashing damage
Small voices from the wood say to one another
"These are tough ones."
*giggle giggle*
"They don't want to play with us.
*giggle giggle*
"We'll have to try harder."
*giggle giggle*
it's currently the beginning of round 1, though you presently see nothing dangerous. Your warrior senses tell you that this creepy fog and hoofbeats mean trouble though. I was just telling you OOC that you won't be attacked round 1.
Akor stays ready, looking around for any signs of trouble

Round 2
On the prime:
Akor sees a well dressed humanoid riding a white horse. Actually, both the man, his horse, and everything on the both of them is completely white. The horses hooves dissipate into mist as it clomps at the air about 8 feet off the ground. The man and the horse are difficult to see in the mists. THe mist rolling off the two of them is physically thicker and colder.
The man is elf-looking, but clearly far closer to Fey than elf. He looks at you with haughty distain.
Ice lance
He leans forward on his horse and says calmly. "You've made a grave mistake."
He flicks his wrist flippantly and in that instant a lance of hardened ice comes into being and flies at you.
It shatters on your defenses, but the sheer cold seems to try to wrap around you.
YOu take 17 cold damage. or less depending on resistances.
Round 2 Plane of dreams
Rosa and tia begin to hear hundreds of voices chanting.
"Well, do you want to play or do you want to get out of my way?"
"Well, do you want to play or do you want to get out of my way?"
"Well, do you want to play or do you want to get out of my way?"
Rosa walks up to the eyes and nukes em in front
Channel Law 10d6 + 2d6 item DC35 (class) in a 60 line in front.
as a free action the bearer can alter the channel area to one of the following options:
10-foot burst centered anywhere within 30 feet
60-foot line
30-foot cone
Law DC 35

1d100
It still hits.
Higher AC could theoretically help, but it's a touch attack. No save.
Do you have spell resistance?

Clarify please. You channeled energy that hurts chaotic creatures directly in front of you in a 30'cone?
As soon as he sees the rider step through the mists, Akor calls upon his divine might

The icelance still hits home.
You're certain this is some kind of elder fey though you're not entirely certain what it is. You can tell it's powerful. You're not entirely certain you're a match. Especially on it's home turf.
Thanks to his innate resistances, Akor does not suffer the full effects of the attack . He grunts as that spell hits him however. "Not the best of ways to start things off, but I am Aelakoress Shriraryn, Champion of the Seldarine. Please forgive me as I know I am trespassing, but I have come here to investigate what exactly is transpiring within these woods."

You can see the utter distain in his eyes. "This place is not yours and what transpires here is not your concern, elven mench. I only dain to speak to you because of our ancient bloodline connection. Were you any other race I would kill you for such insolence. I give you one chance. Leave now quickly and without another word and I will consider this insult as you might consider a child overstepping their bounds. Off with you." He wave his hand in a dismissive gesture. The very mist of the area seems to accentuate and mimic the gesture, somehow.
