The voice is definitely coming from the direction of the stag, but it is clear to you the stag isn't talking; someone or something is trying to make it seem as though it is.
At Ali's nudge, Davosh casts Mage Armor.

As the stag aggressively stamps the snow, suddenly a miniscule, blue-skinned humanoid appears in Vojtek's square; a pair of dragonfly wings holds the wee creature aloft.
His hand is pulling back from Vojtek's greatsword, which is now 1/16 its normal size (and effectively useless to him for the time being)!
shrink item
"Huh?" Vojtek asks dully. He is still a unsure of what is going on, but he is very glad he just belted on a dark iron longsword a few minutes ago. When he figures out what is going on, rage starts boiling over in him. He loved that sword and he feels he earned it through trial and bloodshed. It will make a good toothpick, but Grrr....
I wonder how he shrunk that item...?
ROUND 1
Ali draws her sword while powering through the snow directly toward Vojtek and his teeny sword . She takes a mighty swing at the little bugger.
<--for the love of...I hope I start hitting stuff eventually
Round One
Kappi already alerted by Ali has a tomahawk raised in hand and instantly throws as he aquires his target.
The ax tumbles end over end toward the little bugger. A small part of the lad's mind wonders if it will at least cut a wing off even if it misses the tiny body.
Throwing attack
tomahawk (throwing ax)
Davosh again opens his blue eye wide, while the other shrinks to gimlet. Evil Eye (Will Save DC 15 or suffer a -2 to AC for 8 rounds, 1 on success)
"VOJTEK KILL!!"
Enraged, the barbarian strikes at the diminutive creature with the dark iron longsword.
Ali strikes at the miniature beast, but it effortlessly flits out of the way of her sword.
Kappi's axe strikes the blue-skinned creature, however, and deals a telling blow. It curses and spits in a language only Ali and Davosh comprehend, but likely wouldn't repeat the words used in public (well, Davosh might). Ali strenuously objects to what it just called her mother.
Davosh eyilly eyes the flying humanoid , and it seems to slow down just a little.
Edward spys a tiny little rapier in its hand, so he casts burning disarm on it. The nasty little thing curses some more in Sylvan and drops the rapier.
As realization of what's happening begins to occur to Vojtek and he feels the anger surge within him, the stag cocks its head at an angle again, then charges the barbarian!
The miniscule, blue-skinned humanoid with dragonfly wings is an atomie, a type of fey. The blue skin, instead of the more typical green, indicates it is probably a winter-touched, meaning it is evil and gains the cold subtype (numbing cold special ability).
Atomies possess a reduce person spell-like ability and invisibility spell-like ability, and they can make sneak attacks. They often perceive themselves as larger than they actually are and rarely back down from aggression; they take tremendous pride in defeating and humiliating foes larger than themselves.
"VOJTEK KILL!!"
Enraged, the barbarian strikes at the diminutive creature with the dark iron longsword.
Vojtek is enraged and hacks wildly at the tiny creature with the cold iron longsword with two hands. On the follow-through, his face swings in close and the man's jagged snarl snaps at the fey, attempting to bite down on it and crush its tiny bones to splinters.
"Beware! It can turn invisible if given the chance. Don't let up the pressure."
It can, were it still alive to do so.
But it is not.
Vojtek's cold iron longsword cuts the nasty fey creature in twain. The stag, seeing this, stomps in fury and...waits for its action.
ROUND 2
Ali moves up to Vojteks' flank, preparing to strike the stag--but is unsure whether killing this beast is necessary. Maybe it will just run away now...
Round 2
Kappi takes a 5 foot step back and throws at the stag. (He figured it has already wounded Vojtek, and still looks angry).
Thrown weapon
tomahawk

Kappi's axe strikes the stag, wounding it.
Davosh is weary about using magic now on a stag with a raging barbarian nearby. Thoughts turn to venison, and need ing the magic later. He opts for the crossbow. . Not even close.
Davosh shoots his crossbow without success.
Edward levels his crossbow and waits.
The stag goes into a full-attack action on Vojtek...which an offensive action, and thus triggers Ali's readied action.
ROUND 2
Ali pauses for a moment to channel her Arcane Energy into her blade and strikes
The stag's full-attack action on Vojtek never occurs as Ali, seeing the aggressive move toward the barbarian, lunges forward and severs its head from the neck.
A quick search of the area reveals no treasure except the magnificent snow-while pelt of the stag and its fifteen-point rack.
Yes and yes. Let us eat well and prepare the pelt.
While Edward works on the stag and fire, Kappi does a little scouting job of the area. (roughly 100 yard radius)
Perception
Stealth
Ali assists with the field dressing and other prep.
Survival take 10 for +2 on Edward's result.
Edward, with Ali's help, does a very respectable job on the stag. The midday repast is enjoyable and tasty.
Kappi's scouting expedition reveals little but more snow and ice. He acknowledges that he didn't venture far from the camp, but reports confidently that no immediate danger appears nearby.
"Let us not tarry. I still have spells, and the trail will grow both literally and figuratively colder as time passes."
Is Vojtek's Tinysword still tiny or is it Great once again?
"Ali, you do know about shrinkage right?" Vojtek asks with alarm.
Aye Vojtek, it'll come back. Tis a stressful time in a barbarian's career. The condition should last just a few days, but before you know it you will return to your normal gadarene self."
"Ali, you do know about shrinkage right?" Vojtek asks with alarm.
Well, I'd *heard* about it...but I never thought it would get THAT small! Tee hee!!
Is Vojtek's Tinysword still tiny or is it Great once again?
"It is early yet. Let us take the trail once again. Let us push forward. Kappi, which way?"
"It is early yet. Let us take the trail once again. Let us push forward. Kappi, which way?"
The young Varisian adjusts one of his head scarves for the cool weather. He hefts his brace of spears and starts leading the way.
Once the meal is done and camp broken, the party continues following the trail through the snowy forest.
Cresting a small rise, you can see a human-sized snowman standing in the middle of the trail before a frozen stream.
