"I will thanks." Quince hurries off to find Elizabeth.

He makes his way to where he would expect to find Elizabeth this time of day. He smiles when he sees her. "There you are." He looks at her taking a moment still seemingly shocked by her beauty. "I hope you are doing well." He steps close to her and greets her with a deep kiss. He takes her hands, "I think we are about to head out for the trip. You mentioned the Skunk River smell . . . but I was hoping you were still coming. Its not all going to be by the Stank."


She smiles at your staring as she looks up from her book, the sunlight glittering off her hair and skin. "Yes... and even better with the kiss. Stank?!? I didn't know if I was invited..."

"By Cernunnos' points. Please." He chuckles, "Yes the Stank. Its a think. I mean I am going to start it . . . good lumberjack slang. I mean if you work and live by a swamp gas river." He looks at her, "I mean the beautiful primordial forests of the Narlmarches. Which will make for a lovely trip."


She shakes her head at all the words you spout and gets up. She slips off her night shawl not worried about what he sees and slips on a dark red explorer's outfit. Then her arcane robe and the few other items of equipment. Soon she is walking to the door and she asks, "Are you comimg?"

"I know... there is something you still have to do.... but I want you to fell like you have, a home to return to."

"Why wait? What kind of place would you want?" He suggests obviously open to suggestions.

Cleonora and him come into the courtyard without mounts. He states, "We really should look into getting some mounts for ourselves. Perhaps an elk from Katrina's new herd?"

Quince hurries to catch up to Elizabeth as he meets up with her he lurches slightly in her direction playfully bumping into her as they walk. "Oh hey I got you something." He pulls out a small bundle and hands it to her. It is a small rectangle wrapped in a muslin cloth bound with a green ribbon.

As Elizabeth opens the bundle up she finds a small well made burgondy colored book, a fox howling at the moon embossed into the cover. Quince smiles looking to catch her reaction, "Its a spell book. I know that you are recovering still and having to relearn some things as an Arcanist. This will serve as a spellbook. It will allow for 1,000 pages of spells and might also serve as a journal for your studies and whatever else." He points to the front plate to the book. "This bookplate will allow you to summon the book if your are ever separated from it." Opposite the bookplate there is an inscription. To my fallen star.

This is one of Quince's Wishes Blessed Book additionally it has a Bookplate of Recall in it.

Jorne:
"Something nice, but simple." Cleonora answered. "Just a place to call our own..." She added as her hands gently and slowly ran over his chests beside her head. "I'm sure there is something you'd want for it?" She asked.

"I don't think I'm an elk kind of girl." Cleonora said with a shrug. "I'll think of something... I'm sure."

After a short while Quince and Elizabeth join the others getting ready for the trip.

Tazlford Tree Tango

Quince claps his hands eager to be on the road and traveling. "Alright arrangements made I think we are ready to go."

He squeezes Eliabeth's hand, "You can ride with me. Or I think one of Katrina's elk might be ready. Kevros is sticking close to home. I am sure he would let you use his horse."


She playfully bumps back with a sly smile on her face.

She unties the green ribbon, unfolds the cloth and beams at the gift below. With gratitude written on her face she says, "Thank you Quince!" She touches the fox howling at the moon and unlatches it. Then she leafs through it. She then leans over and gives you a big hug and a kiss. "I have so much work to do now! Maybe I will just transfer the orisons and first level spells that I use the most. But that will have to wait. Thank you again!"


Before Elizabeth has a chance to respond Bearik emerges from the stables with one of the elks, saddled and ready. "Here daughter, I prepared this one for you. His name is Donner."

Cleo:
"You know I miss the big royal baths. I know it's not something simple but I am sure we could come up with something. Maybe we need to track down some hot springs. Then build a house there." He offers as his arms still hold her close, moving his chin down he kisses her forehead. "Do you want to have some fun here or should we go to your room?"

"For now we have Sunshine on loan from Katrina. She said Sunshine needed to be ridden as she is tending to the elks." He points out as he walks her into the stables. Sunshine has a saddle and reigns, ready to go and a stable boy brings it forward.


Soon the whole party is ready to go: Quince, Elizabeth, Jorne, Cleonora, Krazok, and Bearik.

No mount can be seen for Bearik but as you ready to leave he summons a huge bear, possibly even dire, for him to ride.

Quince, lead us on!

I was hoping that Tristan would go as well. Just in keeping with his current role as Warden of the Shield and looking to evaluate Tazlford. We also spoke that he would take on the role of Viceroy of Tazlford once we absorb it. So it just made sense for him to be on the trip too. Even if most of his presence is off camera as far as action goes it just makes sense that he is part of the trip this of course would likely mean Larina is joining the trip as well.

Quince smirks at the bear mount. "Well there you go." He turns Scram around and looks at his friends, "Here we go."

With consultation from Krazok the group moves through the ether and after a ride through the strange landscape return to the world they know deep in the Narlmarch Forest. The unmistakable smell of the aptly named Skunk River hangs in the air.

Quince shrugs and looks toward Elizabeth, "I know. I know." He raises a bit of cloth over his nose and mouth. He regards Krazok he points up river, "A bit north northwest is Tazlford this is the area you mentioned. Where you met the nixie sorceress and made the agreement to replace the trees."


Tazlford Tree Tango
Sounds good!
Trist and Larina join the group on their mounts... a lion of sorts and the hell hound, Ash.

As Krazok gets his bearings he leads the group to where he remembered the nixie held as her home. Getting there you see several felled trees and the holes they once held.

The nixie pokes her head out of the water and asks, "Greetings friends of the forest. What business do you have with me?"

Sense Motive DC 14:
She sounds a bit put off.

Sense Motive DC 19:
It has been quite a while, so she probably does not believe you would ever come back.

Quince smiles, and addresses her in sylvan, "I did not have a chance to meet you. When Krazok was first here." He points to the dragonman. "I did want to meet with you though and to make good on the agreement made."

He acknowledges, "It has been some time. For that I am sorry. We have had much to look after. I am Quince Medvyed Lord Commander of the Greenwatch Wardens, I was among those who slew the Scythe Tree and helped Tiressia and Falchos. Because of the delay I have brought a 6th token. One for each of the trees to be replaced. Plus one." He smiles, "I hope that lessens the sting of the delay."

Eastern Exploration Extravaganza

Quote:

4- Howl of the North Wind is still a threat. Assuming we explore that hex (47) leaving it a possible claimed hex for the second 6 months of down time. The Worg and his pack might still be a large. Of course realizing that our team can and will likely want to use the fast travel to Varnhold this is either left hanging. Or is a great option for a training team or a off camera Exploration team to have taken care of this.

5- We have not explored Hex 54 though we believe it to be home of Old Crackjaw. If we in the down time send a team to find the monster they can also explore the Hex. I know Tristan and Kevros talked about putting teams together for training troops. Alternatively its across the lake from Krazok's lizardfolk.

6- We have explored the Hex 52 (Krazok's off camera team did) which the mad hermit lives on. From what I saw Krazok didn't mention meeting the hermit. This also means we don't have the map of the Lonely Burrow. We will likely travel through Hex 48 which has the Lonely Burrow in it. The Lonely Burrow has been a rumor. But a trip east toward Nomen Heights out of Elkheart that explores as it travels might find this. It might be a good idea for us to have dealt with the Mad Hermit in the year of down time to have the map so that as we explore west toward the Nomen Heights we have a side quest here. Just a thought.

7- We have heard rumors of the Mud Bowl (62). That might be part of the exploration run training missions that Kevros and Tristan were talking about taking soldiers through.

A few weeks after the team returns from the Tazlford Tristan and Larina have been married, had their honeymoon and it is time for more exploration. As the kingdom has grown the number of soldiers, guards, reeves and other forces have need of new blood as well as those who over see them in middle management.

Alright this exploration team and the posts that go with it are going to be the: "Eastern Exploration Extravaganza." I know that there might be a couple big fights on this trip so it might call for a retreat and return. But the overall exploration path: 47, 48, 40, 56, 64, 72, 71, 63, 70, 69, 62, 54, & 55.

Tristan intends to lead a team to the east fully exploring the southeastern hills. Larina eager for work and inseparable from her new husband. The new couple is joined by Saren the Warden of the Host, the general of the army, Selena, Svetlana eager for some of the adventuring that she has been inspired to take up. The bring along 4 vetran Reeves, 4 soldiers from the guard, and 4 of Saren's commanders. Because such exploration needs to be mapped and accounted for they are also joined by one of the Marthropple gnomes (Jubilost or one of the others who would be willing to make some maps), and a representative from the Academy (assuming Cleo allows it would be good for them to have some magic support as well as to cultivate other magic users into our forces).

The Route & What they Find:
Hex 47- On the Prowl: The Howl of the North Wind- Fight with a worg and a few wolves.

Hex 48- This hex is home to the "Lonely Burrow" we nor Krazok on his exploration never met the mad hermit whose treasure includes the treasure map for the Burrow. So that means we might not find it. At least not until we meet the Hermit on Hex 52 (already explored).

Hex 40- No issues listed in the book.

Hex 56- Also no issues listed in the book.

Hex 64- A Cry for Help- This hex is the hunting ground of the Leucrotta. Treasure if they find it: Blue Dragonhide Breastplate, a matching Blue Dragonhide Heavy Shield, a Feather Token: Tree, an Ivory Comb (50gp), & 86 slimy gold pieces.

Hex 72- No issues listed in the book.

Hex 71- Hills- This is where a certain monster we spoke would have been found but you mentioned them utilized later. So just hills.

Hex 70- Abandoned Ferry Station- Half-collapsed, rotting wooden buildings stand on each bank where the Shrike River branches off of the Little Sellen River. The buildings have been used as lairs by kobolds, mites, and even a few groups of bandits in the
past, but currently the yare unoccupied.
Development: If the PCs establish a city here, the abandoned ferry station grants a free Pier to the city.

Hex 69- Wandering Giant Munguk- If we get him drunk and pass some Diplomacy checks. He will give us a map of the troll lair. If killed, Treasure: battered spyglass, Wand of Hideous Laughter (10 Charges), Necklace of Fireballs (type II with 1 4d6 sphere remaining), & 60gp.

[ooc]Hex 62- The Mud Bowl- Foul smelling mud . . . .mmmmmm. Lair of the Tendriculus. Source of Rattlecap Mushrooms. The map marks this with the gold coin icon. At first I thought he coin meant there was a mine but looking at the explanation in book 1 its any resource. So I would imagine its that the rattlecap mushrooms grow here.

Hex 54- Old Crackjaw's Den Treasure if found (DC 30 Perception or Detect magic): Elemental Gem (Water)

Hex 55- Gurdin River Ford- Natural ford of the Gurdin River.

So you will want to figure out what they found in game verse what the book says. What they were able to deal with and like you said what might require a revisit. Also what if any treasure they found and were able to bring back.

She becomes obviously better minded as she shifts to talking in Sylvan with you. She appreciates the gesture. "That will make up for the delay!" She says with earnest. Then she asks in curiosity, "You seem like something else is on your mind too?"

I do? LOL. This was an excuse to cross a loose end off.

Quince smiles. "We seek to be in harmony with ALL the people of the land of good will. Our presence here today is sprouting of that desire. Making an agreement with you and the loggers that cut down these trees." He looks about. "Where should these go." He smiles and passes the tokens to others of the group and one to Melianse so that the trees can be placed and grow.

He follows her direction and places his token where she indicates stepping back as the tree sprouts quickly and raises up into a great tree. Quince nods to those with him, "Place the token and stand back the grow quick." He speaks to them in their shared language.

Quince introduces those who are with him. After the introduction he regards Melianse, "My intent was to honor the agreement thought with the rise of the new settlement up river I hope that those there are good neighbors with those who have lived here long before."


Tazlford Tree Tango

With Melianse's direction the trees are planted and she offers you to take the fallen trees away. She would go with you to speak with the loggers to make sure 'they understood.'

She nods to each one as they are introduced.

"Then I should definetly go with you to speak with them. We don't want any misunderstanding. I would like to see how they are logging as well." She states in the Sylvan tongue with interest.

Reward: she gladly agrees to keep an eye out along the Greenbelt’s rivers for any trouble or rumors of danger, increasing the PCs’ national Stability by 2. Quince please add this note to our kingdom's stats.


Eastern Exploration Extravaganza

The hunting/exploration group tells about how the soldiers were able to take down a pack of wolves and a mighty worg on their own with only a little help from their commander.

Tristan, Larina, and the reeves were able to route an undead warlord of some kind.

The soldiers also give a recount of a strange cry, which they found out was a magical beast hunting them but with their commanders and Saren watching they were able to dispatch it. Some fowl creature then charged the group and in mere moments Saren had dispatched it. They also tell of how Selena kept the cougar beast in the fight by blocking its path.

At an Abandoned Ferry Station bandits were slain and one was taken to the chain. A possible good place to start a village or Port!

With Saren's drink and Selena's influencing demeanor a giant was hired on as a Reeve.

The next two events made the men of the kingdom flee. The Tendriculus and Old Crackjaw. Though with planning and ranged attacks the soldiers and Reeves were successful with minimal help with the actual fight from their leaders.

The exploration yielded many treasures and claimed no lives of those involved. In fact a roaming giant now has the official Reeves clothes and is acting as a new steward. The following loot was found and returned to the kingdom's vaults, minimal coins and treasure was distributed as a bonus to those involved:

Elemental Gem (Water)

5 fine wolf (one of them worg) pelts
5 wolf heads for mounting

Large turtle shell and turtle meat!

blue dragonhide breastplate, a matching
blue dragonhide heavy shield, a tree feather token, an ivory
comb (worth 50 gp)

copper ring of sustenance
broken chainmail, heavy wooden shield, broken +2 fey bane bastard sword

I will be adding these items to Sulvanii, the vault keeper of most magical items available to the group, Wardens, and aids of the kingdom. Anything non magical is up for grabs. If not claimed it will be absorbed into the kingdom.

With Melianse's direction the trees are planted and she offers you to take the fallen trees away. She would go with you to speak with the loggers to make sure 'they understood.'

She nods to each one as they are introduced.

"Then I should definetly go with you to speak with them. We don't want any misunderstanding. I would like to see how they are logging as well." She states in the Sylvan tongue with interest.

Reward: she gladly agrees to keep an eye out along the Greenbelt’s rivers for any trouble or rumors of danger, increasing the PCs’ national Stability by 2. Quince please add this note to our kingdom's stats.

Cool. We had already rp'd a little of wanting Tazlford's efforts to be forest friendly. Quince on his wish list put a wand of Plant Growth which could be used to help both the forest at large as well as the loggers. This should go a long way to offset the logging.

Quince smiles, "That would be fine. I only ask that if there is something that you find objectionable you speak with us. If there is a way to address it we will. I know that many from the settlement are themselves loggers. Replanting takes time. Though we do have some means of helping plant growth. Also I was hoping that your river might be of use." He takes the time to explain process of using the river to transport logs and how that if done in a controlled way would mean that roads to and from Tazlford through the forest would be able to be smaller paths. Without the river more would need to be cleared to make way. Where as the if the loggers were able to use the rivers they would move with the flow of the river down stream to the lake and Elkheart.

With Saren's drink and Selena's influencing demeanor a giant was hired on as a Reeve.

In fact a roaming giant now has the official Reeves clothes and is acting as a new steward.

Awesome!!!! The rest was pretty cool too but this part make me smile.


She nods and offers, "Yes that seems fair. So is Tazyleford apart of your kingdom or not? I do like balance!"

She nods in agreement, "Yes in that case the river would be best to limit traffic through the forest. Wow it looks like you have thought about this alot." She states happily with the amount of detail and offering of options.

Quince thinks a moment, "They hope to be. These lands were well still can be dangerous. They are taking a risk in coming here hoping to provide for themselves and their families. We hope to see them succeed our settlement would be the first stop of any fruits they are able to share. Such positive symbiotic relationships bring stability." He nods, "I have thought about this a lot. I suppose. My family worked with woodsmen like these in Tazlford. In another great forest to the north east. Our people call it the Gronzi forest. There is so much life in places like this. Respect it and all can thrive. That is what I hope here."

"Tell me is there any news I should know? We have heard rumors of a 'dragon' to the south. We hoped to visit Tiressia if she wishes to speak with us. Do you know her?"

After Melianse shares any news Quince smiles, "You can travel with us. However our mounts move through another space it saves time but it crosses the veil into another realm. If that does not sound like something you wish to try. We can meet you near Tazlford along the river."

Jorne:
"A house with a hot spring..." Cleonora said thoughtfully. "I could live with that." She smiled at him, though his second question made her blush. At first she would have said there, but then remembered what happened here and answered "The room might be more comfortable."

"That would work for the time being." Cleonora said with a shrug.

Sorry, I'm at a bit of a loss, what are we doing?

Melanie is a Nixie. One of the loose ends we had hanging was to bring hertree tokens to replace lost trees. Now we are just chit chatting. She wants to go with us to Tazlford.


Tazlford Tree Tango

The nixie Melianse responds to Quince, "The Great Gonzi! I was born there!"

"The Forest Drake of the South! Yes I heard he is having problems with trolls. Tiressia, I am sure she would be happy to talk with you. She raves about you and how easily you took down that death claw! Though I hear it is a sore spot for Falcos her lover. I would be up for trying a new way to travel!"

Sense Motive DC 16:
You feel like she doesn't get to talk much and she might be rumor making.

"Note to self, learn Sylvan." He says out loud and goes to check on the mounts. He is also glad that Larina decided to stay back with Ash and the other mounts.

"Hey, Larina. How are things? Bliss in marriage?" He casually says to her as he checks the elk.

Cleo:
Seeing her look at the table he brings it up, "Do we need to move your office and new furniture?" Once he gets an answer from her he pulls her hands off his chest pulling her playfully away from him it is a bit awkward then he gives her kisses all over her face.


"Things are not as I wished, Ash here I fear will have to seperate from me. Perhaps Sulvanii will be able to take care of him better. I am happy in my marriage and all the perks that come with it." She relays with a heavy heart.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Quince smiles "It will be good to seem the both."

Quince looks to the others, addresses them in common, "Forgive me if some of you don't speak Sylvan. Our visit has gone well. Melianse is pleased with how we have honored our agreement with her. We spoke a bit about the up and coming town of Tazlford. Wanting new comers to get on well with those who came before. She wants to see Tazlford with us and will be joining us. Our next stop is a little to the west. The grove of Tiressia the Dryad."

Quince walks Melianse to Bearik, "I don't know how much you ride." Quince looks over those gathered and tries to figure who wants to share a mount with the Nixie.

I was thinking Bearik LOL big giant bear would have the most room even with the enormous dude.

Tazlford Tree Tango

As the group sets out again for a short ride to Tiressia's Grove, Quince asks Larina, "I heard you mention to Jorne that you might be giving up Ash. What happened?"

When the group arrived at the grove. Quince hopped off Scram and moved to help Elizabeth, "Well the smell has improved. Wouldn't you say?"

Quince returned to Scram and pulled a bottle of wine and a sack that gave a musty loam smell. He called out in greeting, "Hail friends. Anyone home?"


Tazlford Tree Tango

Her first sentence seems like to it should explain it all but continues, "Well he is a hell hound. He doesn't fit in well with everything we have been trying to do and accomplish. If I am not with him he sets lots of things on fire."


Tazlford Tree Tango

Tiressia fades out of her very large home tree and welcomes your group with a merry lit and a happy smile, "It is so good to see you all. I would come and visit by I am a little rooted here. Dryad humor!"

"Ah Melianse it is good to see you too! I know it has only been two weeks but company is company! Out with our protectors I see!" She points out the definite differentiation of the nixie from the rest of you.

Falcos eventually appears coming from the bushes over yonder and he raises his hand in greeting. An Elven greeting that some might recognize.

Talking with Larina

Quince nods, "Part of me wants to object. We have done well with so many unlikely allies. But it sounds like he might be a handful."

With Tiressia and Falchos

Quince returns pleasantries and greetings, "Good to see you as well. We were near and wanted to check on you. I hope all is well."

Quince sets the sack down for Tiressa, "I brought a present. We had some visitors recently who are helping some of our builders. Gnomes who specialize in tree homes. One of their number brought with them what he said was enchanted soil. Their work has certainly helped things grow. I brought you a bit. I hope its can serve you well. What to you get a Dryad?" He chuckled. He looked at Falchos, "You are easier to shop for." He presents the satyr with a nice bottle of wine.

The gifts are just fluff didn't want to show up empty handed to the neighbors so wine and cheese (loamy compost).

Jorne:
"No, well I am getting the furniture taken care of..." Cleonora said before he moved her from him then returning to her in vast affection.

Cleonora laughed softly and smile at him. "I'm fine. I promise."

"The common nature of the beast is something to watch for." Cleonora said to Larina. "Even more if you're going to keep them around."

Helena whistled when they came up to the Dryad and this Falchos. "Nice meetin' a Dryad of this here part." She said as she stepped up too look both the Dryad and tree over. "Tiressia right?" Helena said "I be Helena, good meetin' ya!"

Quince looks toward Helena and smiles. He takes the time to introduce everyone. "You met Tristan before. This is Larina his wife. Helena is a teacher whose area of study is those of the 1st World. Cleo the headmistress of the Academe Sciencia. Krazok one of our fiercest warriors, probably THE fiercest but the other warriors get all cocky when you say that. This is Bearik our chief diplomat." He turns to Elizabeth and can't help but beam a little bit. "This is Elizabeth Bearik's daughter." He squeezes Eliabeth's hand. He looks around, "And Jorne he keeps us all safe."

Next Loose End

Quote:
9- Forest drake. We have heard the rumors its likely on the short list of hunting trips. I know its one of the things that Quince wants to have done. Over the 6 months this would be something he would want to see dealt with. Particularly when it borders hexes we are claiming.

Forest Drake Fiasco

I figured at first this would be part of an exploration trip through the forest but the Drake's lair is just south of the Lizardfolk City in 67. So I imagine that Krazok and the lizardfolk would have a good handle on where it is. Kevros and Quince were talking about going on a hunt. So I think that this is going to be more of a target driven trip. Quince, (Elizabeth if she is down for a monster hunt), Kevros (We talked about wanting to go on a hunt), Katrina (Married to Kev, friend to Cleo), Cleo (resident scholar and Quince is still trying to get to know her and he thinks action is a great way to get to know allies), Jorne (goes where Cleo goes) & Krazok (Quince wants to get to know him better and his city is just north of the Drake lair) would be the ideal team. Treasure in the book: a ripped and broken masterwork chain shirt, a masterwork darkwood longbow,
and a tattered, bloodstained cloak of elvenkind.

Hex 68 is right next door to explore. Which is an uneventful forest hex.


Tazlford Tree Tango

"Thank you for the gift Quince!" the dryad replies, "So thoughtful!"

Falcohs would quickly echo as he was given the bottle of wine, "Oh yes! Thank you for the gift Quince!"

Pleasantly she said, "Yes, it is nice to meet you Helena."

Once introductions were done both of them would bow and have some small chat with each of you sharing the wine, some berries, and a collection of nuts.

Will we be hand waving the trip to Tazlford?


Forest Drake Fiasco

Eventually Kev organizes a hunt. He lays out that they will be hunting South of the Lizardfolk city. First for boars and should they end up in this area possibly the dragon! He planned it out so they would travel normally to get a chance to observe the realm, spend three days on the hunts and then Jump back.

people involved: Quince, (Elizabeth if she is down for a monster hunt), Kevros (We talked about wanting to go on a hunt), Katrina (Married to Kev, friend to Cleo), Cleo (resident scholar and Quince is still trying to get to know her and he thinks action is a great way to get to know allies), Jorne (goes where Cleo goes) & Krazok

Cleo from Jorne:
He just stood there looking at you before he leaned in for another slow passionate kiss. Then he whispered, "Lead me on, my love!"
