Well done, Soren.


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander smiles, Certainly sounds like a plan to me.

Eduard climbs out of the spider tunnel and casts Prestidigitation to clean himself up. "Lead the way. Though I imagine that we should be careful as this is likely some sort of gathering place or waystation for these people."


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Andrea finishes checking out her horse and mounts up to travel to the strange tree.


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander waves a hand as the webs clinging to his boots fall away, then mounts his own horse and looks around, Well, it appears we're done here. He frowns slightly as he notices the tears in his pants, but breaks into a smirk as he says, Looks like I'll have to sew these up again. He laughs as he kicks his horse forward.

Lead the way, Soren.

Soren takes the paper, and starts following the map, as it were.


Soren is able to decipher the markings on the crude map and leads the group on a ride through the gently rolling, lightly wooded hillside. After spending much of the morning mapping and dealing with spiders, it's nearing dusk when you ride up on an old lightning-struck oak tree stands atop a low hill that Soren thinks is where the "X" is on the map.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Well, I will start setting up camp while others can look around.

Andrea dismounts and starts doing just that.

Soren approaches the chair, with his bow drawn and an arrow loosely nocked.
We should stick together, probably. We don't know what this place even is...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander rides up and looks around, Take your time and look around. There doesn't seem to be anyone here, at least. He then dismounts and starts searching for signs that anyone has been there recently.

Taking 20 on the search for a...20.


The area around you all seems rather empty. Aside from the lightning struck tree, you don't see much other than the faint signs of fire several years past. Perhaps one started by the lightning that once struck the tree.

20+ perception or survival get you: Poking about the base of the once blasted tree, you realize that the earth has recently been disturbed. With a bit of effort, you are able to dig down a couple feet into the earth and find a bundle wrapped up in an oiled, heavy leather cloak. Opening up the wrapped up cloak, you find: a masterwork dagger, a wand, a heavy silver ring and a spellbook.


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander's gaze seems distant for a moment as he looks at the items. Interesting.

Alexander casts Detect Magic.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

So I guess this is the treasure from the map.


The wand reads as magical, as does the spellbook


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Loot list updated. I didn't add the spellbook as I expect Eduard is going to hold on to it for a while.

Alexander attempts to identify the wand.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Very interesting. Seems we have a magical stick and a...spellbook. I suppose these might be useful to you Eduard? And a rather large ring. He flips the ring in the air, catching it, And heavy. He then flips it over to Thaliar, What do you think? Worth something?


Alexander:
It is a wand of burning hands (CL 2nd, 4
charges)


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander hands the wand off to Edurard, Burning Hands, though I expect you could already tell. He smiles.

Radomir stands guard to keep Alexander and the others safe as they work.

Soren inspects the ring, motioning for Alexander to toss it to him.


Human Arcanist 6, HP 35/35, AC 12 [T: 11, FF: 11], Per +6, F: +5/R: +5/W: +7, Arcane Reservoir (5/9)

Eduard will take the wand and sow it on his belt and then begin to read the spellbook.

Just checking to see if it is in a readable language at first.


Male Elf Investigator (Mastermind) 3

Sorry for the prolonged silence. Last week turned into a bit of a mess with deadlines and a funeral so I had very little time to really put something together

Thaliar had been silent during their trip. Soren had been great with the map so help wasn't needed there and the spider nest seemed to be emptied. He had tried to see if he could bring one of the young spider's corpses but the thing was unwieldy and it would probably rot away before he had the time or the tools to preserve it.

Perception for the dirt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Thaliar looks at the ring, "Definitely. Let me see it, need to check if there are any markings on the thing. We might figure out who made it and maybe even who originally owned it. The story could make it worth more to the right people." He walked over to Alexander to take the ring from him and see what it looked like.

"I'd like to take a look at the book as well. Sometimes it's possible to turn one of those magic formulas into a formula I can use to bottle the spell."


The spellbook is in Draconic.

Sadly, Eduard can quickly see that most of the book is water damaged. Obviously the bandit who buried it didn't understand how to properly care for books.

You can make out five spells though: identify, mage armor, reduce person,
silent image, and unseen servant.

The silver ring is a wide band, fit for a man's hand. No markings or inscriptions can be seen on it.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

A small cache, but it seems we have gained something. Let us rest and then continue mapping in the morning.

Soren searches a little wider around the area, looking for tracks, or anything out of the ordinary, before sitting to rest with the others.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Andrea finishes getting the fire going and throws on some porridge.Double watches?


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Sounds like a plan to me. Alexander sets about helping with the camp.


Human Arcanist 6, HP 35/35, AC 12 [T: 11, FF: 11], Per +6, F: +5/R: +5/W: +7, Arcane Reservoir (5/9)

Eduard holds up the spellbook after studying it. "I can make out a few spells. Fortunately I read Draconic, but it seems unlikely that any human would keep their spellbook in such a language. Still, it will be some time before I can copy all of these spells over."

He then goes about getting some rest at his appointed time.


male Human Cavalier 6 | HP: 28/59| AC: 25/14/24/23 | Init: +4 | Perc: +11(+13 v surprise)| F:+9 / R: +4 / W: +3 (+4 vs fear/compulsion) | Sentence 4/4 |Circuit:150 mi from keep

I will take the last watch. I have no ability to see int he dark. But, I wake early anyway to tend to Czernabog.


Male Elf Investigator (Mastermind) 3

"All fine with me. Could you pass me the book Eduard, so I can see which spells I might be able to distil?" Thaliar will study the book during his watch as the lonely hours tend to get boring otherwise.


You arrange your watches, set up your camp and settle in for a nights rest. A rather peaceful nights rest since nothing chooses to venture near your campsite.

The sun soon rises and you are looking at another beautiful day. Do you wish to venture further out to explore or return back to Oleg's to rest or drop off anything. you are currently about 26 south, south-west of the post


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

I feel we can explore some more.


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Agreed, Alexander responds as he packs, We have plenty of supplies. Might as well stay out a bit more and keep mapping.

He straightens and throws his pack up on the horse. Soren, any ideas on where to head next?

Soren replies while packing up his own supplies onto his mare.
I suppose we continue with the spiral. I see no reason to return to Oleg's for a day or so, and we haven't encountered any threats that are entirely overbearing. If you like I'll take us back to where we left off, since our little treasure hunt took us slightly off course.

He hops into the saddle, and lays his bow across his lap.


male Human Cavalier 6 | HP: 28/59| AC: 25/14/24/23 | Init: +4 | Perc: +11(+13 v surprise)| F:+9 / R: +4 / W: +3 (+4 vs fear/compulsion) | Sentence 4/4 |Circuit:150 mi from keep

Very well, but I shall still take the last watch when we need.

He walks out of the next and packs up his things. Once Czernabog is ready, he mounts and follows the group as they continue mapping.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Pay no attention to the troll in the dress


Male Elf Investigator (Mastermind) 3

"Sounds like a plan." Thaliar moves back to his horse and saddles it. "If we find a lot more we may need to return so we can store it at Oleg's. Maybe even build a small storage facility."

I was just about to ask you about your makeover Andrea


Human Arcanist 6, HP 35/35, AC 12 [T: 11, FF: 11], Per +6, F: +5/R: +5/W: +7, Arcane Reservoir (5/9)

Preparing Magic Weapon and Charm Person

Exploring sounds fine. I'll go through this spellbook in the meantime.


Male Aasimar Bard (Animal Speaker) 6 , HP 46/46, AC 22 [Touch 16, Flat 17], CMD: 23 Init +4, Perception +0 (60' Darkvision)

Alexander nods as he mounts, Lead the way. Let's continue on as we were.


Your group swings West first, so that you can map out more territory without heading back the way you came and tramping over already mapped areas.

The ground here seems a bit more rocky and with less vegetation, this causes you to be rather cautious with your mounts since you don't want them to break any legs.

I'll take a Perception check from everyone while you are exploring this area.

Alexander is his usual not-so-perceptive self as they ride around the countryside.

Alexander will continue his map drawing as they travel, taking notes of any landmarks they pass.


While you are cautiously crossing near a particularly rocky crag that rises from the hills, you notice something interesting. At the crag’s base is an overgrown 5-foot-wide crack that leads down 20 feet to a 30-foot-diameter cave and as the sun hits the opening at just the right angle, you think you see something glinting with the light. Investigating the small cave, you notice that the cave wall directly across from the entrance sparkles slightly where the sun hits it.

DC 20 Appraise or Knowledge(dungeoneering):

A DC 20 Appraise or Knowledge
(dungeoneering) check is enough to
recognize this as a vein of gold.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Andrea just shrugs at the opening.


Human Arcanist 6, HP 35/35, AC 12 [T: 11, FF: 11], Per +6, F: +5/R: +5/W: +7, Arcane Reservoir (5/9)

Eduard continues with the group but can't quite make out the significance of the sparkling wall.

Knowledge (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Alexander dismounts and approaches the cave cautiously. When he draws near he runs a finger over the one of the veins. Interesting. Gold. He steps back and nods over to Soren, I suggest we don't put this on our maps...just in case. But we should definitely take note of the area in order to find it again.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Indeed, alas we are not miners and none seem nearby.


That's a wise idea, my lord.
