Subject: Hingtuli, Trillion,Muffin (group B)
As Hingutuli voices his prayer his mind clouds with the vision he is all to familier with. The gods voice reverbrates in his mind.
"Find it soon the time is growing short."
He feels the god touch his soul as spells are suddenly known to him.
He knows he must go his own way. When he explained to the party that morning at the logging camp all were understanding. Then Trillion spoke up his desire to go as well. He knew the importance of what a god wants. and so the split happened. Hingutuli and Trillion left then. Muffin eyed Sprinkles and then followed with them. Since then it had been a hard slog as he went were he felt lead. at first this took them back toward the town and the a ramble through the forest, but now as the sun was slowly climbing the morning sky the small party eyed the blighted lands once again.
They had not gone far into this accursed land but already it surounded them and eveloped them with it's evil and dread. They had come to a small stream stinking of sulphur. Strange plants grew down it's banks that were thick with foul red mud. Hingutuli lead the way as the party slowly made their way along the stream bank. Hingutuli lost his footing and splashed down into the stream. It was then that the heard the Hiss. Muffin went to full alert barking for all he was worth, as the large reptile sped down th water toward Hingutuli. Every bit of 20' mottled an ugly grey and black the snake was coming for them.
I need init. rolls please give me an idea of your actions. You are currently on your arse in about a foot and a half of water with a slick bottom and banks. I'll wait a little while and see if Darque will be able to take control of Trillion if not i'll NPC him. Your new spells I will PM you tomorrow I've got to find my book.

Subject: Anvil, T'sal, & Rat (group A)
Shaken by the encounter with the ghostly woman the party sets out in search of the one who had slain her. Anvil grasps the hair in his left hand and to his surprise the hair coils tightly around his index finger like a snake. The ends of the hair dig into his flesh and with a small grunt of pain a small jolt travels down his arm as his hand gets a mind of it's own and his finger points in a north by northwest direction. it ramains firm for just a few seconds and then relents control back to Anvil. The course is set.
T'sal slips the ring onto her finger with a "what the hell." gesture to the others. it forms to her ring size with a flash of pink light. She feels a slight surge of energy that let's her know that this ring is indeed magical but, she as of yet can not determine it's nature.
Now that the course is set the group douses the torch and relies on their infravision as the set of int the general directon. It is a slow pace they have to go as this area had been logged not to long ago and many stumps and branches litter the way. Several hours pass as the continue in to burnt lands, Anvil knows the direction is true as the sun starts to rise and the land is bathed in light once again. The sounds of rushing waters comes to ear and ignites thirst in the group. Sprinkles strains and the leash wanting to go insearch of a drink. Rat is well prepared this time and controls the large animal with a firm yank and a pat on the head. Several minutes go by as the party makes it's way out of smoldering copse of evergreens to stare longingly at the swift moving creek. Up in the distance the burnt remains of a bridge can be seen. As the party takes time to survey the suroundings and gather water Anvil notices the deep impresions of armored footprints.
Sprinkles then raises nose to the air and starts to bristle. A low throaty growl escapes her mouth as the party hears the sounds of marching feet not to far ahead. The group freezes and then goes to cover as movement is seen at the chared bridge. Black armored figures are crossing the road and can be seen as they top the hill at the burnt out bridgehead. It's hard to count as they are at a quick march but the numbers are strong. maybe 15, maybe more. It's not long before the are out of sight and then out of hearing. Anvil looks down at his hand and the at the rest of the small group. Everyone knows it but no one says it. Yes, they are going the same way the hair wants them to go.

Subject: working on it
will have a post up for both groups hopefully on Sunday afternoon. Anyone heard from Darque? I will run his character as an NPC for a while but would really like to have him back. I will post both of the groups on the game thread. There are no restrictions as far as discussing eachother's quest just keep in mind that your characters will have no clue what the others are doing so try to keep that seperate.
Nomad, since we haven't heard from DeGotti and i think Consortium is out of pocket for a while can you go ahead and give me your marching order and what weapons or action each are making? this will help move this along a little more radiply Sunday. Will T'sal be wearing the ring? How will anvil carry the lock of hair?

Topic: Oaks Heart
Subject: at the altar
As the group goes about there appointed tasks and slowly approach the altar the torches start to lose their flame and the bluish glow seems to diminish. T'sal motions to the others as she notices the corpse starting to change. All of you gather around (except sprinkles who is staying on the outer edge)the altar and witness the quick decay of flesh as the corpse turns into a skeleton. Everyone's hair goes on edge again as the faint blue glow dies and gives birth to a harsh violet light emeinating from the hole where her heart once was. a deafening shroek sends all to there knees as a ghostly visiage errupts from the broken skeleton. The dire death mask of the womans ghost looks down upon you and a shrill voice is heard inside you heads.
"You have accepted. Good. Now your work must truly begin. You don't have long until the evil done to me envelopes what is left of my soul and then i will forever walk this earth destroying life where i find it. Yours will be first. This is not a threat just a fact since we are now linked. Take my ring(at that moment a gold and ruby ring falls from the skeletons hand)it will give some protection also take a lock of my hair. keep it close and it will help lead you to that bastard. Hurry before both our fates are sealed."
The ghost slowly dissapates and total silence fall over you. the torches go out and darkness rushes in. You have aprrox. 1 week.

Topic: Oaks Heart
Subject: night hunt
The flickering torch light and lack of special skills makes it hard for the group as they try to follow the unusual tracks into the woods. Frequent stops are required as they lose the trail and have to search hard to regain it several times as they get deeper in. About 2 hrs. go by and the progress is limited. It seems they are covering about a 5 foot a minute as Anvil has to get on his knees to look for signs many times in the stop and start search. Sprinkles is not much help as the only smell any are able to detect is an acrid smokeness that only gets stronger as the wind there way deeper in to the dark forest. Strange animal sounds cause one or another to jump and Sprinkles is proving a handful for Rat as he strains to go investigate.
3 hrs. in, the party comes to the source of the eveloping smell as they approach a small clearing. Feelings of dread and fear quickly raise the hairs on everyones neck as they take in the scene. Burnt out torches encircle a stone slab on a quickly built platform. The mutilated body of a woman lays in a glistening pool of blackend blood. Shreds of clothing are scattered around the evicerated corpse. Bile rises in everyones throat as you all try to keep from gaging as the horror of it all seeps into you brains.
Just then a strange bluish glow surround the mangled form on the altar and the corpse slowly raises it's head. A croaking strangle voice escapes it's battered lips.
"Betrayed! My heart is broken! My soul will never rest!"
The corpse now looks at you all as if just noticing you. All are rooted to the ground as the force of true heartfelt pain touches your very souls. Sprinkles shies away and wimpers as hecurls into a ball.
"Help me! My soul you must save! Find my mothers necklace and you will find my killer and my love. return it to me so that i may rest. Jon why, why did you do this to me! My mother's pearls! That's all i had left of her! You promised me a better life! you said you loved me!"
With that the corpse leans towards you and points at each of you
"Find the Bastard and return my necklace or i will find YOU!!"
with that the corpse falls back to the slab as the torches around the altar suddenly burst into flame.

Yes, torch replaces shield. In the field there are many tracks muddled together as you make it into the wood line your only following 1 main set, an odd shaped track that is almost birdlike. yes it is the "myster wand dude's " tracks no signs of the woman but as i said you are just entering the wood line. and yes the tracks are generally north. it is a dark night with a few clouds comming in and only a sliver of a moon. there is a dampness to the night air. a storm may be approaching.

Subject: tracking
question. To follow the tracks and look for signs of passage y'all will have to have a torch. Infravision will not allow you to notice much on the cold ground since the tracks are old. So who has it and what state of readiness is the group(weapons drawn, spells ready etc.)?

Well just jump ahead and say the rest period was uneventful and everyone is up to level 2 stats now. go ahead and give me a new group post for the night's foray. Do any of you have the tracking prof.?

Yes T'sal needs to study and all need to rest to gain the advantages of level 2. Right now all are still running on level 1 stats until your characters make time to rest and study. Rat will also need a small study period to gain his thieves skills upgrade. 8 hrs. rest 8 hrs. study.
yes, the footsteps lead of in the direction of the scream. if i'm not turned around that is in a northern direction which would eventually take you close to the bridge.

Subject: the search
The party takes it's time searching the remains and the grounds around the battlefield. 8 gp's, 13 sp's, and 6 cp's, are discovered a few arrows remain intact as well as a few orcish shields and spare bits of armor. a strange set of footprints are found that lead of into the woods and then are gone but not much else. most things are damaged from the fire.
Trillian and Hingutulli the announce to the party thier decision to leave the group and go in search of the cleric's vision in hopes that it may help the party at a later time. 1 of the dogs goes with them as the wave by and head off into the forest.
Anvil, Rat, and T'sal are left with Sprinkles to ponder their fate and choose their path. It is now around 10:00 a.m. with a partly cloudy sky and a slight SW breeze.

Subject: how about April
I've got some HazMat meetings to attend and a security seminar coming up here the last part of march. What say y'all we wait till the 1st part of April and get restarted. I'll send Darque and Hammer a PM about our intentions and if I've not heard back from them by then I will seperate the group and have Hammer and Darque leave to search out Hammer's vision. I can do a mini-quest with them when they return and then work them back to the group. You 3 will then be free to go in any direction you wish. If they do respond maybe we can get a timeline on when the group will be whole. I'm confident we can run either way although it will get harder on all concerned if we split the party. Any thoughts?

well seems like it might be a while before the others have a chance to come back, how do y'all want to handle it? I can put them on NPC till they get back or we can wait and see when they come back. I'll respond to the booty search after we fiqure out how to handle the slowing of the game.

Subject: roll the dice
go ahead and make your own rolls for the hit points and adjust your character sheets. If you feel up to it write a little about your characters growth from lowly beginer to 2nd level. I personally would enjoy reading it and it would fill some space as some of our group are still scattered and looks like progress will continue to be slow at least untill spring. When everyone can get back then y'all decide where your going and what your doing. Don't forget the womans scream that might be a point of interest, you also have the burned bridge as a possible destination, plus you have several corpses to search, an evil cleric??? to hunt for, Several pissed-off supersized orcs roaming the woods...... The fun is neverending. So all of you have fun with it, have your characters interact in the game thread, anything really, I'll be on here 3 to 5 times a week for a while and i'll need something to keep me from having to work while i'm at work.
