"More beer of course!" She bustles off again to find a bigger flagon....

When she returns, Zasha picks up the conversational thread. She nods toward Alivar.
"Alimando is a scholar who researches these places of magic. I'm sure he'd be very interested and very grateful, for anything you could tell him about the Grove."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
"I've told you most of what I know. It's a strange spot. People avoid it."
Diplomacy, Aid Another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Alivar smiles. “Yes, I am most grateful for the information you have provided. You’ve been ever so helpful so far,” he says, managing to keep any hint of sarcasm from his voice. “But could you tell us – where is this Grove, exactly? We understand that most avoid it, but we have a scholarly interest.”

"Yes. Scholarly. And bring more beer! And cheese! And bread!"
Female Human Oracle 1
"Excuse the appetite for scholarly pursuits that my friends have," Alahazra says calmly." You said you had told us most of what you know. If there's anything more you can recall...?"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 to encourage her some more.
"Ok, ok, if you are so hell bent on going, I can give you directions. I think you're al mad tough."

I think you miss spelled "Spam"...
Ok, once you've eaten and drank your fill, and Crowe has drunk it off.... Any other questions?

Zasha looks at the waitress and jerks her head toward Crowe.
"Only he's mad tough."
"Or maybe he's only tough when he's mad?"
"Oh, I've met plenty like that. Not as many as the ones who are only mad when they are drunk though."

"Crowe is mighty when drunk and sober. And mad. Do you have any eggs? Crowe likes hardboiled eggs to go with his beer, cheese and bread."
What's the plan? She will provide reasonable directions, a simple, if somewhat rough map.
I think once we have the map and directions, and Crowe's finished his meal, we head out. If there seems like enough time to get there before dark...

Crowe finishes his meal, belches to show his appreciation, and gets ready to go. "Woman, this was fine food. You would make a fine wife. When Crowe has made his fortune, he will return here and add you to his harem."
To the rest he adds, "Come - forward to adventure!"
Fine with me.
"Shall I make up some rooms for your return?"
According to the map the grove is around a mile Southwest of the inn.

Clearly the hardboiled eggs have affected Crowe's perceptiveness.

"Wasn't there some sort of bear head up on that flagpole when we came in?" Alivar mutters. "Maybe it fell off ..."
Female Human Oracle 1
"Perhaps something ate it?" answers Alahazra. "Let us hurry and settle this before night falls."

"Or it's a signal." Zasha says quietly. "We should watch carefully on our road."
Zasha Rennet wrote: "Or it's a signal." Zasha says quietly. "We should watch carefully on our road." The huntress sighs and nods. Is there much cover on either side of the road here? If so, Ana will try to stealthily move ahead of the group. Otherwise, she will just stay near the front.

Small delay while I sort a map, job today requires not having access as I normally would
What is the terrain here like? Plenty of good ambush sites?
Alivar Sard wrote: What is the terrain here like? Plenty of good ambush sites? It's a forested area, so yes, plenty of potential ambush sites. Ana sneaks off ahead and is soon lost in the undergrowth besides the path.
Female Human Percept +4, Sense Motive +4, Init +4 AC 17, FF 14, T 13 \\ HP 10/11 \\ F 1 R 4(+2 v. traps) W 1
Zasha frowns slightly as Ana moves out ahead. Hopefully she doesn't run into more than one person can handle.
She keeps her eyes moving under the broad brim of her hat and her bow in hand.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
After the party has proceeded about three-quarters of a mile, they find Ana and Leryn waiting alongside the path. Quietly, she says, "There's a clearing with standing stones a bit farther on. I didn't see or hear anyone, but they could be well-hidden. We will stay close."
As the party continues, she fades back into the underbrush again, but stays within 30', so they periodically see her or Leryn moving from tree to tree along their left.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
As Ana described, there is a clearing. Crimson thistles have overtaken this clearing, punctuated by a ring of mossy standing stones. In the center, a neglected stone slab bears ancient stains and gouges.
Map. You are entering from the North, so from the top of the map.

Crowe pulls out his hammer. "This is an evil place."
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 to try and spot anyone (or anything) lurking.
Could you place yourselves on the map please?
current hp 3
Crowe stands at the edge of the circle, not trusting the location's evil appearance and reputation.
E3, please.
Ana and Leryn keep to the trees a little longer, watching and waiting. Seeing the rager ready his hammer, she follows suit with her bow.
H3, please.

Alahazra tries to see past the limits of her clouded vision.

Those who've made perception checks may as well look at Crowe's spoiler above.
Zasha?

Crimson thistles have overtaken this clearing, punctuated by a ring of mossy standing stones. In the center, a neglected stone slab bears ancient stains and gouges.
The sounds of the forest are somewhat subdued near the clearing, but the sound of the wind in the trees, of birds tweeting continues around you.

Zasha looks at Alivar. "Is this place indeed magic?" Then she lifts here head to the others. "Ulisha mentioned a stream. Do any of you see or hear one?"
More Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
“I can’t say it looks very magical,” replies Alivar. “But in truth I have not the knack of detecting magical auras.” He looks about for any sign of a body of water of some type.

Crowe continues to look about suspiciously.
Female Human Percept +4, Sense Motive +4, Init +4 AC 17, FF 14, T 13 \\ HP 10/11 \\ F 1 R 4(+2 v. traps) W 1
Zasha points to the southeast. "Those openings could be trails. I'll take a look."
She walks directly toward them. As she passes the center stone, she looks it over.

As she passes the center stone, Zasha recoils slightly and sidesteps away from the stone as she continues her march to the trailheads.
Zasha Rennet wrote: As she passes the center stone Just to be clear, it's ass you pass into the ring of stones, not near the centre one.
Female Human Oracle 1
Hearing discussion of what could be magical, Alahazra will whisper a prayer to allow her to detect magic and then start concentrating in the direction of the centre stone.

"Smells like something died here.". Zasha shakes her head and continues forward.

Right through. Guinea pig central.
Ok, in that case, Fort Save please. :D
