Zoom sessions 2023-10-24

After we had driven off (for now!) our tree-borne attackers, we healed up and examined the corpse of the one critter that we had managed to kill: About 4'6" tall, slim with long fingers and toes and elongated arms, we decided the best description was a cross between an elf and a baboon. So let's call then babelves.
Given how vulnerable we remained to a repeat attack, we decided to head towards the less heavily wooded area starting at 113.059. We reached 113.058 before dark, and found a large fire-damaged tree that could provide a modicum of protection. We spent the night with most of the party on the 1st floor canopy, with Twoo on the 2nd floor canopy (with Dougal + shield to protect him.) Several Magic Mouths and traps were triggered during the night, but we weren't attacked, and following an uncomfortable night aloft (no fire or hot food) we had rested sufficiently to regain our first to third levels spells.
The next day we managed to reach 113.059 where the trees thinned out sufficiently that by the time we camped there was no 2nd floor canopy at all, and the 1st floor canopy was lower (15'high) and wouldn't be able to support the weight of humanoids traversing it. We made a proper camp, and fortified it somewhat with a defensive ditch and earthworks from a 'dig' spell (35' long, 5' deep and wide, 'L' shaped) plus branches and saplings etc. As we camped we heard the sound of a horn or bagpipe a long way behind us.
Next session 31st October - we can define our specially learnt spell-lists (up to 3rd level).
