And thanks for giving it a try. Dragonlance rocks!
PS: if you don't mind, can you make the campaign inactive?

Not sure about playing multiple characters... Roleplaying with myself doesn't seem very exciting!

I'm losing a few players in my own campaign as it stands... :(
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
That's too bad! And Shadow's Dragonlance campaign also fell apart on account of his having to deal with RL, which I totally get. Still, disappointing :( Mind you, it was a nice occasion for me to delve back into the world of Krynn :)
If the campaign is, in fact, dead, do you mind making it inactive?
I'll be keeping an eye out on the recruitment board if ever another DL campaign pops up!

Did everyone bail?
...not much sense in continuing solo, is there?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Waiting on Thyll? And Lavakhat and Lokien?

Grease spell cast on the entrance of tent had no effect?

From behind cover, Viridos points his ironwood staff toward the remaining guard. The quarterstaff writhes like vines and a spear hurls itself at the foe, breaking into splinters when it hits.

Are we waiting on Lavakhat?

Having cast Grease on the entrance of the large tent in order to hopefully hinder their enemies, Viridios remains in the shadows and incants a defensive spell to prepare for battle...
Cast Shield.

Done? Am I right to assume that the boulder is the main tent, or did I read your previous post wrong? The intent is to place the 10' square at the entrance...
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Just saw your post!
Viridios fishes into a pouch and finds a lump of soft butter. He incants a spell...
Surprise round: Viridios casts Grease on the entrance of the main tent.

If there is no surprise round, we are then waiting on Lavakhat? If there is a surprise round... Lavakhat and Viridios?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Reminder of my previous question: is there a surprise round?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
I am not convinced that Thyll is still with us...?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
I think that we're waiting on Thyll?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
The chicken and egg dilemma? GM waits for players to place themselves on the map while players wait for GM to roll initiative?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Done. Are you rolling initiative? Also, given that the guards didn't see the stealthy characters, are we entitled to a surprise round?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Seeing Thyll's viper summoned, Viridios fishes into a pouch and finds a lump of soft butter. He incants a spell...

Viridios stays put while Lavakhat sets her trip wire...
Can you describe the positions of the guards?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Viridios nods and moves ahead of the others when they are all ready to go...
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Under the circumstances, I would not hesitate," Viridios admits with surprising sang-froid, "but I do not have the means to do either."
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"Perhaps Lavakhat and I can go ahead, create a diversion and strike, and then retreat in order to lure them into an ambush?" Viridios proposes. "Or we can strike hard and fast and hope to gain a definitive advantage before they have the time to organize?"
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"What say you?" Viridios asks the dwarf and the barbarian. "Regardless of whether they are complacent or confident, we now have an occasion to strike."
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"Three small tents, and a larger one. Four men outside. At least two men inside – a leader and a scholar or wizard of sorts," Viridios answers cooly. "We saw nothing else, and waiting any longer would only have put us in harm's way."
"I would not let you go alone," he reassures Lavakhat.
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"Why are you here?" Viridios asks Kret and invites the others to answer as well. "I am here because I want to rid Silvanesti of the minotaurs. That may never happen. So in the meantime, I will do everything that I can to safeguard the artifacts of my people."
"Wouldn't you do anything to save your tribe, your lands, and your ways?" he insists, looking at the barbarian.
"And you?" he turns to Lokien. "Do you think that your home is safe now that the Nerakans have taken Pashin and that the Minotaurs have begun their invasion?"
Despairing, he looks at Thyll as if to say: what about you?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Having seen enough, Viridios catches Lavakhat's eye and carefully moves back to return to camp and discuss the situation with their companions.
"They seem to be attempting to identify an item of power," the wizard explains, "and given where we are, I believe that it is likely an artifact that once belonged to my people."
"They cannot be allowed to continue to dishonor our heritage," he almost pleads with Thyll. She knows that look in his eyes...
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Can we identify these men as the very same as those encountered in the market?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Is the anticlimactic fade to black? Still around, Terevalis?

Viridios and Lavakhat are so sneaky that even the GM doesn't notice them approaching the bandit camp? XD
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Surprisingly stealthy for a wizard, Viridios approaches the camp very carefully, getting close enough only to find out who these bandits are and why they are here. He is ready to bolt if ever they are discovered...
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"You've done this before," Viridios remarks, wondering at the identity of this dwarf and remembering that these new allies are all strangers.
"I'll go with you," Viridios proposes to Lavakhat.
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"You're probably right, Thyll," Viridios admits. "Perhaps I have been fighting too long. But if we don't fight the Narakans, who will?"
Viridios is obviously torn between the safer and wiser course of action, and his desire to make these bandits pay for the sufferings of the Silvanesti.

From a safe distance, Viridios attempts to count the number of bandits, and to recognize if these are indeed the warriors encountered in Pashin.
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"I don't think that charging would be wise," Viridios agrees. "But I am curious to know what these bandits are doing here, so near the lands of my people, and so near the minotaurs. If these are the same bandits as those we encountered at the market in Pashin, this may be an occasion to find out how and where they found the onyx statue they were attempting to sell... Perhaps we can capture a straggler, and see what we can discover?"
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
So I guess we are on our way to <insert vague directions or destination here>?!
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
If the Herald is still with the group, Viridios continues to work on his model of the wooden box, going so far as to cast Crafter's Fortune to improve the quality of his work.
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Viridios is heartbroken when he sees the destruction of the forests. Born into House Woodshaper, his love for the trees runs through his blood as surely as does his magic. Still, he is comforted to be in the company of others who share his respect for nature. He thanks Thyll and Kret, without whom they would surely have lost their way...
I am not sure if I quite understand where we are: still at camp? Or on our way towards Silvanesti on the following morning? Is the old Herald travelling with us?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Viridios looks at the humans and dwarves, and when he smiles it looks like his paper-like skin could crack.
"It seems so," the elf answers the young girl. "An ancient and conquered land, two days away...?"

"I am not sure that he is entirely here," Viridios answers, looking at the elder and shaking his head. "Prophetic dreams, or the ramblings of dementia?"

I get a feeling that people are off for the holidays... So happy holidays!

Just to be clear: are we outside the town at this point? Have we settled for the night?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Viridios shakes his head. "Lokien is right. We should make our way out of town with haste. I am sure we could all use some rest..."
When they have arrived at their destination, and have settled.
"Can you describe the box? We were bearing it, so it was large? Decorated? Elven?" Viridios asks the Herald while using his woodcarving tools to craft a six-sided wooden box.
Craft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Dreams are often a gateway to the past or the future. But the vision are rarely clear, and can be misleading," Viridios answers Lavakhat, oblivious to the rhetorical nature of her question.
"Were you supposed to meet with an elven noble? A swordsman?" Viridios asks the elder. "He led us to you, and disappeared in the melee. I do hope that the Nerakans didn't capture him, or worse still..."
Would a knowledge roll of some sort be useful in figuring out some clues about the vision?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
I believe that the consensus was somewhere safe outside of town?
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"Let's go?" Viridios proposes, eager to find some peace outside of Pashin. He looks to the dwarf to lead the way...
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
Discreetly, Viridios peeks around the corner, to see if he can spot the elf who led them to the Herald to begin with.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Silvanesti Elf Wizard 1 | HP: 8/8 | AC 13 T 13 FF 10 | CMD 14 | F +1 R +3 W +3 | Init +3 | Perc +2
"Did you see the other elf in the melee? Viridios asks the barbarian when he rushes back. Seeing the smeared blood on his brow, he continues: "Are you hurt?
