Gathika's spells are successfully cast.
(OOC: You rolled; 14 for Essential Food, 12 for Watchdog.)

Bain is taking extra time for the following skills:

Checking the area for potential threats using tracking (12+1):

Setting up traps (12+1), these will be placed about 8 yards from the camp, this will stop the threats and Bain will be able to see, and daze them with his perk and to hit them with his bow.

(OOC: You rolled; 13 for Soldier, 10 for Tracking, 12 for Traps.)
Bain is not as helpful as he would like. Still, he gets his rear in gear, and finds no monster tracks around the campsite as he sets up noisemaker traps.

One of the party forages for food and picks enough plants to make the journey easier.
(OOC: You rolled 14 for Survival. Your character only needs 3 meals for this journey.)

The party eventually settles down and starts taking turns sleeping.
(OOC: No random encounter tonight. Everyone keep track of the three meals a day to avoid starving.)

DAY 3

The party wakes up to a clear morning. They continue the journey, now off the road and into the woods...
(OOC: Everyone post IC before I roll for random encounters...)

Telrith looks at the food situation, and starts calculating some numbers, and scowling to himself.



We brought 21 rations for everyone to eat.
altogether we need 15 rations a day (crap!)
Gathika saved us 6 rations yesterday.
The survival roll saved us 1.5 rations yesterday. (and will save us 1.5 tomorrow)
we used 7.5 rations yesterday.
We have 13.5 left.
We will be short of food.



Telrith thanks Tigerstone and Mulch for their service, and asks them what they learned during their stay on the prime material plane. Then he releases them from their service, sending their spirits back to the elemental plane of earth and watches as their bodies crumble without them. He whispers a few words of explanation to the element of earth itself, then sets about summoning more elementals. He will roll 4 times. The first is for an earth servant (9 or less), the next three are for talking rocks (two at 9 or less, one at 12).



Telrith will find a pebble nearby and pocket it to add to his stash.

OOC: Don’t worry, we have the right amount of food (wa also spend the corresponding amount of cash). Here's the post from about a week ago.

I had to put 210 instead of 21 in my OOC remakrs; thanks Erick.

The food we purchased is:
3 rations a day for 7 days, this is 21 * 5 people * 2 weeks = 210 rations.

That's without considering the essential food spell, by the way.

I updated the cart's load.
With Gathika in the cart it will be 61.2 lbs, so it did not change the elemental's encumbrance when she rested for an hour.

Bain speaks to Telrith.

I am not finished loading the rations; you can take another look in a moment.

Vic speaks to Telrith, "I think it's fascinating, I put beings in the earth, and you pull beings out of it, it is truly amazing"

While eating he comments to Bain, "Is the blue fire harmful? or is it an illusion?"

Telrith manages to conjure an earth servant but only one of the talking rocks he wanted.

Gathika approaches the fire and then looks at Bain in the eye and says with surprise:

“MEOW!! Bain, this is an amazing fire, it reminds me an ancient being, the lich.”

After having dinner, she gets into the tent and goes to sleep.

Gathika wakes up and gets out of the car.
She listens to her comrades as she says to herself:

“Maybe the elders ate the rations in secret? I casted watchdog after all…”

She calms down after Bain says the rations are OK.
She approaches and casts essential food (14), when the party is ready to go, she gets into the car gain.

“I will take a small nap; cats need their beauty sleep”

Yes, these flames are real and definitively burn.
I can use them for stuff like this (lighting the fire).
I am still developing this power for combat situations.

What about you, Vic?

A Lich? Sounds like fun, tell me more about liches tomorrow.

Bain sticks to the previously mentioned rolls: Observation (12+1), Camouflage (16) and Tracking (12+1).

[Hide]

OOC: Since we are getting into the woods we might need another roll for navigation (13+1). Bain will mark the map with the improved routes, using his kit.

Note: The previous +1s are for extra time, and this +1 is for the map.

Me? I don't have any flames of the sort, have to figure it out the mortal way, flint stones and such. Your flames, can you make them invisible? I guess your enemies could see you in the darkness if you cannot.

Telrith conjures up a pair of elementals, similar to yesterday. The Earth servant is made of chunky earth that clings to itself in distinct pieces: Telrith dubs it "Clodstomper". The talking stone is a light white pasty color: Telrith names it "Chalkfist". He welcomes the elementals to this plane, and introduces his teammates, much as before: Shield, Arrow, Digger, and Kitty. Clodstomper gets the cart on the journey, and Chalkfist gets to carry Telrith's sheild, with instructions to drop it if they end up in battle, as well as instructions to to Chalkfist to focus on striking enemies (he's instructing chalkfist to use all out attacks, as its DR is really high but its attack skill is abysmal)


As they are expecting a canyon, Telrith will pay close attention to the terrain, hoping to know they are approaching the canyon before they can quite see it (expert skill (natural philosophy) - 11).
