"Good ones, hmmm? Perhaps it was meant for you to face this beast."

Tigger

Scry scry scry

sKeith

"Yes, I was scared at first, i can remember that much, but later in the dream, i recall flying through the air on the back of one of these beasts, and I dont believe it minded that i was riding it."

Fourier

Goodie scries into the wood where he glimpses an old gnarled massive oak tree, on a hill beside it is the entrance to the old cults lair. He cannot see further, but the Dragvil lies within.

OOC: Lair is at 14.12 on Shire map.

Fourier

Goodie eyes the crystal. A crystal of animation. It can allow an inanimate object to enact a set of simple instructions twice a day.

Goodie tells ekbard of the terrible wierdos and the village of werewolves
And how they mistreated him when he was older

sKeith

"okay, i'll assist you to get rid of the werewolves, and after that, i'll go deal with the dragvil, and i'll understand if you don't want to tag along for that one."

Tigger

The village seems to be entirely run by the werewolves now. The remaining survivors are huddled in their houses.

Fourier

The two young Halflings return with a set of twenty silver tipped arrows for Goodie and themselves outfitted.

"Old Tugban told us you wanted these Master" they say presenting the arrows to Goodie.

Thanks lads righ grab some grub and ale and off we go

Fourier

The villagers prepare eight rations and two flasks with larger in them for Goodie and Ekbard as quick as possible. Wouldn't want to disappoint the Master now.

Tigger

Ok let’s go
Goodie leads the way”home”

sKeith

Ekbard makes sure all the undead dead soldiers now have backpacks on and disperses the 58000GP over 12 of them.
#1-#10 5000GP each.
#11-#12 4000GP each
encumbraces all @1 now.

Fourier

Homeward Bound:
Goodie and Ekbard pass easily enough through the shire. The minor hills and soft paths mean it only takes two hours to reach the Blight mountains.

Even then, these are the southern mountains, the snow is thinner and the paths more clear. Passing through the mountain valleys is easy enough and nothing dangerous blocks their path.

By about midnight the two of them have reached Goodie's home village. A lynched body hangs from a sign as the rain pelts down, the old manfort in the distance.

Ok we should make camp here I’ll scout up to the man fort and we’ll take that as a base

Tigger

I scout up the the man cave
Full stealth mode silver arrow locked and loaded infravision set

Ook werewolves run hot right

sKeith

Ekbard casts a detect evil spell. Aranges the undead in a perimeter around himself and the halflings.

Tigger

As I leave I tell Ekky
“I’ll light the place up with a light orb if I need help you be able to see them but they will be concentrating on me

sKeith

Ekbard acknowledges the plan.

OOC: Very.

Goodie tracks 28 heat signatures through the village. The advantage this gives him combined with his race's natural stealth allows him to get to the man fort easily.

As he stands at the entrance way he remembers all the times he played here as a kid. Little to fear within, the fort was raided by adventurers some years back and all the old Mage's monsters are long slain.

Ekbard can sense two evil presences from the house on their right at the entrance to the village.

Ekbard walkes toward the house on the right, where he detected the two evils.

Ok

OOC: Yeah, you can cast it 120' from yourself, but it can be basically as bright as you want.

sKeith

Ekbard controls #13 to open the door of the house and enter.

Tigger

I pick out the nearest hot heat sig and judge the range

Two werewolves burst through the door, raging and salivating toward Ekbard.

Goodie approaches the group slowly, but a group of eight werewolves prowl between him and the group.

Fourier

The werewolves leap at the group as the halflings prepare their bows. Before they even reach the group, Ekbard leaps over the undead and slices outward, cutting them simultaneously. They drop to the ground dead.

sKeith

Ekbard checks inside the house.

Tigger

Stealth ww kill

Fourier

A standard halfling house although the food is long rotted and the furniture ripped apart. Several Halfling bones litter the bedroom.

sKeith

Ekbard leaves the house again, #13 follows.

Fourier

Goodie moves from house to house drooping the eight of them like flies. With each fallen pair the other six dart to the source of the sound, the bow audible with their improved hearing, but Goodie is gone by the time they approach. He collects his arrows afterward.

Goodie sees an extra sixteen wolves enter the village for a total of forty four, including a very large one.

A group of twenty werewolves enter the town square and stare at Ekbard.

A werewolf much larger than any of them, the pack alpha, stands at the back.

"You dare touch my pack?"

OOC: Cheers

Ekbard says, "I'd much prefer to fight you than these puny pups"

Fourier

"Would you now?"

The alpha pushes the others aside and notices the bisected pair.

"Packmates hang back, I fear for many of you should he face you"

He cracks his neck twice before stretching his arms and rising to bipedal stance.

"Let's dance boy"

Ekbard say fine, orders his undead to hang back. He walks towards the encounter.

Tigger
