Hruskin looks decidedly uncomfortable, and spend some time in prayer before heading to sleep.
I turn around and as I ride past the group I say, "The Hawk that I asked directions from was cross eyed and headed me the wrong way, we need to back track a short ways" with a perfectly straight face. I then continue to ride past them without waiting for a response.

Make your sense motive rolls and role-play whether you believe him or not...
Hey ranger we might get there quicker if you let a druid lead.

After getting back on course, you make decent time...the heat has slacked off and Ur-Kaim realizes a monsoon seems to be heading in. Expect high winds, lightning and lots of rain this evening. you know you should not camp in a low area as well, yet high ground will be dangerous as well...
You have to make camp a little early to find a suitable camp and prepare for the monsoon tonight. Unfortunately this leaves you a little closer than you wanted to the Gathering stone.
"Such a mighty leader he is that leads us the wrong way."
He says this to himself, but makes sure it is loud enough for the others to catch.

is there any large rocks in this grassy area? trees? areas that would provide partical cover from rain?
26*13=338
338/5=67sp 6cp of progress
lol only 94 gp of progress left
We will find as sheltered spot as we can to camp in for the night, even if it means stopping a little early. I dont imagine that we will be able to start a fire anyway, unless we get lucky, so we will be haveing a cold camp (good thing I made that snake jerky the other day). We will be camping about mid way up one of the taller hills to keep us out of the flash flood plain, as well as keeping us low enough that we will not be at risk of getting struck by lightning.
Hruskin scowls, "If you can catch dinner, I can cook it for ye, at least I can char it to tasty."
Brignat
Ur-Kaim
Hruskin
Haruuc
Drexel
No need to RP. Brignat is indifferent to who "leads" the group. He doesn't seem much interested in your attempts to persuade him but you get the feeling that he's not going to make anything of it.
Drexel
Haruuc spends the time skulking around out in the storm watching the lightning play through the atmosphere.
Stealth Check. (1d20+9=25)
After Drexel's attempts to usurp his leadership of the party, he has been even less talkative with the remainder of the party than normal. He has made his case and if the others decide to follow Drexel's obviously flawed leadership then he will simply follow along, doing what he believes is right while still following the party's goals.
Perception 1d20+6=15

You seem to have chosen an acceptable camp site. While lightning struck close-by, no one was hurt. the storm releases its fury as if The Fury himself drove the storm. By morning the storm is gone, and the heat begins to climb once more, only now the humidity is much higher.
You depart early to make up for lost time, (make sure your character sheets are up to date spell-wise.)
After Having spoken to everyone, I get busy messing around with some of my gear.
something like this
______
|__|__|
|__|__|
there will be one of these inserts in the top and bottom of my quiver to keep the arrows separated. since each quiver supposedly holds 20 arrows each slot can hold 5 of a certain type of poisoned arrow
that way I can keep different arrows with different poisons in the quiver at the same time and not get them confused. I will smear the ends of the guide feathers with a staining substance (ash, berry juice, etc.) just to make sure that i have them doubly marked.
My remaining vial of scorpion poison I will keep for if i want to spread it on my sword

Five days pass, travel is hot and humid, tempers are running hot as you've seen no other travelers, few animals and the Dead Grey Mist has been visible for a day now. You have come within sight of the ruins of Lyrenton, do you wish to brave it on the way into the Mournlands? or will you skirt the dead city?

What do we know about Lyrenton?

You know that Kaega-Ko mentioned traveling around it. It's known as a place of death among the goblinoids, where you waste away...only the bravest or foolhardy travel there.

And Hruskin is neither, so he advocates avoiding it as much as we can!

HRUSKIN:
Good Luck with that...I wonder what Drexel will do... WWDD?
Another power play perhaps? This character interaction is interesting, no?
"We should go around the Town of Death. No good can come from walking it's cursed streets. What say you O Mighty Leader?" He says the last part with an obvious sneer as he mock bows to Drexel.
Unless there are supplies we might need, avoiding the ghost town would be best.
"What supplies would we find in a Cursed ghost town that we could not make ourselves out of the bounty of the wild Ur-Kaim? For once it seems that Haruuc is using his head instead of inflating it with air. We will travel around such a cursed place."
I chuckle to myself at the irony of it all as I mutter under my breath"Though the place that we go after it is just as cursed"
Brignat scratches his chin.
DM
Are there any relics within the city that may help increase the status of our clan that would be worth the diversion?

I'll need to know how close you skirt the town as you go around it.

Silence is deafening this close to the mist, Ur-Kaim and Drexel you're especially disturbed by this silence, it's the silence of the lack of natural order, there are no sounds of birds, or animals, not even the sound of insects. Your animals are very skittish, and you can feel their apprehension, you're certain that if you release them, they will run as far from this area as possible. There is not even a breeze, it feels as if the very land and sky around this area is dead...but not decaying, just freshly dead, even though the Mourning happened over 4 years ago.
I lead everyone around the town (about a half mi away) toward the wall of mist. I glance toward the town evey now and again looking for movement of anysort. The closer we get to the mist the more on edge I become due to my dislike of Arcane magic and things that go against the natural order. I have my Bow out and ready.

Drexel leads the party around the ruins of Lyrenton...
The entire trip around the city you feel as if at any moment horrors would come streaming from the lost city...You reach the dead grey mist, and your relief at leaving Lyrenton behind is replaced with dread as the pure silence of the mist envelops you, you feel that if you lose sight of the others, you'll never find them again...the sun is no longer visible, just the grey mist, that seems to cling to you...
Hruskin takes a moment, falls to his knees and lights a small fire in the ground, praying to Onatar for the blessing to live through what is to come and to fight well and die honorably if not.
He then stands, shoulders his backpack and makes ready to enter Hell.
Brignat adjusts his armor and makes sure that he has an arrow notched. "This is what we came for. Best not to stop now."
Hruskin unslings his warhammer and moves about twenty feet back, away from the mist, to minimize the chances of clustering if something should attack.
