14 Pupemont

On the Spine between Croysa and the Lustris Citadel

The weather is cold, calm, and cloudy. Brennys gets you all up, fed, and moving again.

[5:24 PM] Ryleigh: Ry will tell the others what she saw in the dirt and apologizes for not catching it during watch.

[5:25 PM] Seirixori: "At least it wasn't a bunch of people trying to steal our gold."

[5:26 PM] DM: You pull off after a few hours at Talon's advice to stop and feed the horses as he's been doing. Let me have some perception checks.

[5:26 PM] Urrak: ((7))

[5:27 PM] Ryleigh: ((21))

[5:27 PM] Seirixori: ((13))

[5:27 PM] Brimeia: ((20))

[5:28 PM] DM: Ry and Bri both see that one of the trees has been carved and now has the face of an elf with a very grim expression looking at the road.

[5:29 PM] Brimeia: "That's not creepy at all," Bri comments in a deadpan tone.

[5:30 PM] Ryleigh: Ry points it out to the others and ask Brennys or Talon if they've seen anything like it before.

[5:30 PM] DM: Brennys shrugs. "Now and then, close to the Spine. Probably Walkers reminding people not to leave the road."

[5:31 PM] DM: Talon chimes in, "Can't imagine anyone else being ballsy enough to cut into the Fytulk."

[5:32 PM] Ryleigh: "I did," Ry chuckles out. "The Walkers weren't pleased with me."

[5:32 PM] Seirixori: "This makes me want to talk to the forest but also not talk to the forest."

[5:34 PM] Ryleigh: "You can talk to that tree, if you wanted. Maybe it'd talk back through the face."

[5:35 PM] Seirixori: Seir makes a face, "Absolutely not."

[5:35 PM] DM: Those of you who have been paying attention while he goes about his business have been able to put together that Talon is not exactly human and looks like he has fur covering parts of his body that are typically hairless, like his hands and face.

[5:37 PM] DM: You continue traveling and let's get some more perception checks, at disadvantage as a fog starts to roll in.

[5:37 PM] Urrak: ((9))

[5:39 PM] Ryleigh: ((20))

[5:39 PM] Seirixori: ((26))

[5:40 PM] Brimeia: ((7))

[5:42 PM] Seirixori: Seir continues trotting along next to Gunnloda, "Ah, the eyes do have a face."

[5:44 PM] Ryleigh: Ry furrows her brows at Seir.

[5:47 PM] Seirixori: Seir chuckles, "The elves are watching."

[5:48 PM] DM: Talon grips the reins a little tighter at that.

[5:48 PM] DM: Another set, please.

[5:48 PM] Seirixori: ((15))

[5:49 PM] Urrak: ((4))

[5:49 PM] Brimeia: ((2))

[5:49 PM] Ryleigh: (18)

[5:50 PM] DM: Gunnloda: 20, Rukiya: 14.

[5:51 PM] Ryleigh: Ry's breath hitches. "There was one just up the road, but... they vanished once I saw them."

[5:52 PM] DM: Another set?

[5:53 PM] Brimeia: ((2))

[5:53 PM] Urrak: ((3))

[5:53 PM] Ryleigh: ((Rukiya 17, Ry 11))

[5:53 PM] Seirixori: ((Seir 24, Gunnloda 17))

[5:58 PM] Seirixori: "Oh I enjoy this place so much. So much." Her words are dripping with sarcasm... as much as can be heard from the way it comes out of something made of rocks and earthy things.

[6:01 PM] Brimeia: "The only forest you don't love," Bri teases, though her tone is skewed by her nervousness.

[6:01 PM] DM: The elves don't seem to make any hostile moves and stop appearing in the trees after several minutes.

[6:03 PM] Ryleigh: "Sometimes the Fytulk is less scary than the Spine."

[6:03 PM] DM: As the end of the next travel segment nears, Talon asks, "Do we want to go further away from... where they were? Or should we stop here?"

[6:06 PM] Seirixori: "I'm not entirely sure it will matter, but maybe just a little while longer, just in case?"

[6:07 PM] DM: For clarification, I'm asking if you want to travel another 4 hours with CON saves for exhaustion. Likelihood is you'd get that exhaustion point back at the end of the night, but there is a slight risk to it. But further from the creepy shit. Maybe.

[6:08 PM] Ryleigh: "They haven't attacked us yet. Do you think the horses will be okay to travel longer? Because maybe those grey elves are just keeping an eye on us... making sure we don't disrespect the forest."

[6:10 PM] Seirixori: "I think maybe we should stay here. I think I'd rather be somewhat rested if something were to happen than too tired to do anything if we went farther and something happened."

[6:10 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods, "I agree with Seirixori."

[6:11 PM] Ryleigh: "I think we're okay to stop here for the night, Talon."

[6:12 PM] DM: He nods and Brennys leads the group off the road into the woods. There's a cool stream here, wandering between trees where the horses can rest and drink.

[6:13 PM] DM: Seir gets the camp set and you can all get your dinner and to bed as needed and let's get nighttime perception checks, please.

[6:13 PM] Seirixori: ((Are they still at disadvantage?))

[6:14 PM] DM: Yes, it's still foggy

[6:15 PM] Seirixori: ((14))

[6:15 PM] Urrak: ((4))

[6:15 PM] Brimeia: ((2))

[6:15 PM] Ryleigh: ((13))

[6:18 PM] DM: First watch is quiet. Very quiet. The fog eventually settles, but it's unnerving how still the forest becomes... until the wind starts to pick up.

[6:19 PM] DM: Sometime in the middle of the first watch, the wind starts to tear through the camp and snow starts to fall. Visibility drops to only a few feet and the temperature falls. The campfire goes out.

[6:20 PM] DM: The wind wakes everyone. Talon stumbles out of the tents to tend to the horses.

[6:21 PM] Urrak: Urrak stands up and draws her sword, "What in th' hells?"

[6:24 PM] Ryleigh: Ry pokes her head out, but once she sees the snow falling too, she disappears back inside. Shortly afterward, she comes out with her boots and her cloak on. She'll instruct Urrak and Seir to get into tents, then help Talon with the horses so he can also get back inside.

[6:26 PM] Seirixori: Seir hesitates and then immediately helps with the horses.

[6:27 PM] DM: Talon's attempting to lead the horses to a bit of a stone outcropping where they can at least be more out of the wind and trying to tie heavier blankets around them. If you'd like to help, Ry can make a strength check to help hold the blankets in place. Seir can make a wisdom (animals) check to help calm them and move them to where they need to go.

[6:27 PM] Seirixori: ((20))

[6:27 PM] Ryleigh: ((22))

[6:27 PM] Brimeia: Bri sticks her head out. "This wind is wicked."

[6:28 PM] Brimeia: "You need any help out there?"

[6:28 PM] Ryleigh: "Stay inside," Ry shouts over the wind. "We have to wait for the storm to pass."

[6:28 PM] DM: The horses get put into a safer spot and are a bit warmer, and the three of you rush back into the tents, cheeks red from the biting wind.

[6:29 PM] Brimeia: Bri doesn't have to be asked twice and huddles back inside her tent to wait.

[6:30 PM] DM: The storm only takes an hour to pass, but in that hour, three inches of snow have fallen, covering everything in white.

[6:30 PM] DM: Second watch.

[6:31 PM] Brimeia: "It's kinda pretty, but it's so goddamned cold." Bri shivers.

[6:33 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh comes out of the tent. In her armor and cloak. She chuckles a little. "We should get a fire going, or we'll be even colder."

[6:33 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia helps gather the materials and make the fire and huddles next to it, rubbing her arms.

[6:34 PM] Brimeia: "I never saw anything like this back in Shasem."

[6:35 PM] DM: The wind is gone and it's cold, but calm.

[6:38 PM] Ryleigh: "It's beautiful." Ry closes her eyes and breathes in deeply. "I always loved the first snow of winter... even though it's cold, it's not wet yet, so it's a perfect time to build snow-people, and have snowball fights." She's smiling as she says all of this.

[6:40 PM] Brimeia: "Snow.. people?"

[6:41 PM] Ryleigh: "It's like building a lumpy version of a person out of snow."

[6:41 PM] Brimeia: "Huh." Brimeia tilts her head as she's trying to imagine it.

[6:42 PM] Brimeia: She tries scooping some of the fluffy white stuff and squishing it.
