(Ya that would have been nice to know in character but goes to show a party who does not share only hinders itself.
what is the bridge made of? Wood, stone? Are there any resent tracks? Any sign of movement around the bridge? )

The bridge is made of stone, and there has been a recent battle here. One ogre lays dead on the bridge, another on the bank nearby, and there are signs that elemental magic has been used.

( Can I or shamious make out any wound marks any of them have? I figure they could possibly be still alive he is not sure.
George does not wish to fight for that is unadvisable but if they are in need of healing he could offer it as part of sign of good faith so to speak.
Aka To help show we mean no harm.)

George will make a Spellcraft (Int). 1 + mod of +2=
wDjRtelHp_1-20+3 = 5
Using luck
p_1-20+3= 9
" Nope not sure what spells were cast or if the bridge is arcane trapped or not. Well we cant swim in our gear. I only have one fly and thats going on you.
But not too far up cause dispelling will have you crashing down and that will hurt quite a bit.
I can longstrider myself to get across. I only hope what ever spells are there have lost the spells. We can hope it was single use only.
Here goes nothing "
fly on shamious he flys over the bridge at 15 ft in the air.
If he falls he should fall on the bridge and not river below.
Longstrider on george as he darts over the bridge.
1-20�1-20

No traps ignite on the bridge, and both ogres seem very dead.
(assuming Tink takes no further action)
Deciding that the druids were those they chased, and with too much of a head start for the Fell, the two soldiers revive their horses and turn back towards the mill bridge with plans to rejoin their companions at Clearwater.
Tink returns to the group. It seems that they would be able to rejoin Ka'lion after dusk as planned, but for now there was little to do but rest and recover until the riders had made their way north.

George will surch the bodies for any useful gear. Then he will hide the bodies best he can.
( Is it Medicine to lookinto how they were killed?)

( im wondering if george will see ka'lion headed to mill if not im wondering aimlessly out by ourselfs witch is not good.) This is where Ka'lions character was supposed to meet the group after dusk. Again i'm not sure if anyone has effectively communicated this to George (or even if ka'lion made it clear to his own party)The ogres show signs of already having been looted, carrying no coinage or other valuable possessions of note. They've been stabbed, bitten, blasted, and the one near the river bank quite possibly drowned. Damage to the nearby millhouse wall and interior suggest that they may have made camp here.

They told george in character kalion is in a cave alone, that there was a farmhouse and a brigde. And that there was to be a meeting location at a farmhouse not the mill. When was not realy discuss more implying if anything and george took it to mean
" O we can meet with him later tomorrow if we feel like it is safe."
The party did a very bad job of getting george to think they cared how he felt and then only acused him and insulted him and how he felt.
To him they were about to run into the Mt with no idea if they could get to meeting spot.
So for all he knows they ditched that idea after he left.
His goal now is to find his friend ka'lion
Its a serries of miscommunication. And it has cause a very big party devide. For trust is in question.
Also the meeting spot was at farmhouse and not the mill. It made it sound as if those were different locations.

I checked the old posts and confirmed that Vadania did tell George that Ka'lion wanted to meet at the farmhouse tomorrow. Vadania also mentioned her own concerns that there might be an Army camping there tomorrow. The mill is where we met George, it is about an hour away from the farmhouse. The cave that Ka'lion was going back to is about half a day from the farmhouse.
I did not see any point where we even mention the possibility of not trying to rejoin Ka'lion tomorrow. Exploring the tunnel was simply something to do while waiting for tomorrow. Although I did mention the need to scout out the farmhouse before getting too close to it. So George deciding that we don't care about Ka'lion does not seem to be based on anything that was said in character.
What happened to is that Ka'lion went off on his own (as is his nature) proposing a rendezvous and ignoring comments that it may not be a safe rendezvous. The rest of the group went to a closer location, one that would provide access to a long tunnel.
I agree, we seem to be having a lot of miscommunication.

( Where is the bridge then a map could be helpful to look at possibly.
I am also out of character stuck and fusterated because i have no idea what to hell to do now, with no in character way of changing course. )

( Where is the bridge then a map could be helpful to look at possibly. I am also out of character stuck and fusterated because i have no idea what to hell to do now, with no in character way of changing course. ) George is literally at the right place, and Ka'lion knows he is there via the owls.
Literally nothing need be done for the party to come back together - I was just waiting on any further action from Tink and/or what the party at the ruins does for half a day before they return, and if there are no posts on that subject in the next couple of hours i'll go ahead with that.

Tink returns with what she has learnt, making a note as to the two she had encountered - they would not doubt be better prepared should their paths cross again.
It would seem that the mistaken identity here and from the earlier attack would benefit the party for now but to approach Clearwater, or perhaps even Burr, while tracked in this manner would seem inadvisable.
Now clear of the ogre mage as far as can be told Emily enquires as to the groups future travels and talks a little of Blacksand - the port that she has travelled from, passing refugees from the fallen Hollow and the swamps and sunken valley the group knew so well.
About an hour before dusk the group makes its way back to the mill where they find George and his companion, though oddly the ogres bodies appear to have been dragged away. Not long after Ka'lion appears from the east.

" Well your a sight for sore eyes, you look like a mess ka'lion. Its good to see you alive. As soon as i heard you were in a cave by yourself i and shamious came looking for you. All they would tell me is your fine i had to see it for myself.
Next time try not to give me a heart attack its not what it use to be.
But first to prove im not evil nor shamious here. I have a few spells i must use. Also as you see no rings on any of our hands.
Protection from evil, detect evil.
He blesses water tosses half on himself the other on shamious.
Aka ( they are not undead nor demon nor devil )
I do have zone of truth if you absolutely feel it nessesary.
Yet i feel it is cause there is a lack of trust in this party right now."

"Hi George. It's nice to see you. Are you ready to try captaining this group? Tanks okay and better the Vedanta ever was but she seems to take to long to make up her mind. I'm going to need to go back to the cave get my gear and water my horse. Then it's back to the ride to Clearwater. Nah yeah. Where rich, but the only people I'd trust selling it to is my family. The book I found is a manual of flesh golem creation. It's got to be worth at least 30,000 gold." says Ka'lion

" Before you wish to sell it, would be ok if shamious and took a read ?.
Ill join you on your trip back to the cave yet before we go you asked me about wanting to lead.
As to leading I am willing to if trust can be established as the bedrock and foundation right now its not for i only see a bigger devide then when you and i left for our trip a while ago.
I dont not wish to barge back in and just take over, that i dont feel is right. It coukd be seen as a take over and that wont solve existing issues only compound them.
Tho your feelings ecos mine as well as Shamious's that decisions by the leader need to reflect what is best for the group yet they need to be dessisive and fair they need to value the team they have.
If that is not wished by them, i have little interest trying to lead or journy with thoese for that matter who dont value the nessesary things in being a team.
The choise on how leads needs to be unanimous for if it is not, there still then a devide.
A core unit that works as one accomplishs great tasks. The question is that what they want. "

"It's up to Tink. As she seems to be in over her head right now. If she can't make up her mind. Thats a problem for me. As I see it we got lucky the ogre mage got scared after we killed the other ogres But at that point we where just about out of spells. I was hoping to recruit an ogre to break into the vault. in Clearwater. I think I had almost pros waded him. It's to bad. We could of used his strength. A Flesh golem would do the same thing but with this areas fear of the dead. It would be insane to build the flesh golem in the area. We'd be arrested for sure. And I want to keep my freedom!. So I'm in favor of selling it to my family or trade it for something we can us. And going to a place we had never been before with riders following us was a stupid call. I don't abject to exsporaing just I abject to do it injured with an army following us. I also found a bards library. Among the information the bard had it's possible that the demons are mentioned." says Ka'lion

Braking into a vault is a new one, so at somepoint i would like to know why we need or want to brake into it but right now is not best when we have a giant party problem lingering here. Its wonderful you found that info, you should go get it before any others find it. Yet we should also start to sort this hole mess out. Also Thinking on it it I would only slow you down as much as i would like to go see it. Do the rest of you wish to settle this now? If so, at that point ka'lion are you willing to stay and help resolve the issues party is having? You dont have to but this needs to have resolution at some point. You being here helps do that."

I can wait for a few minutes. But I don't like being in the open while being hunted. That's a good way to end up dead. The more I think about it. My grandma would build the flesh golem using the bodies of our families enemies collecting their remains after they died ( she would leave them alone until they did: But my families been treated by paladins, barbarians and priests before and fighters - all as strong as an ox ) - so they could never harm us again. If I built a golem I'd build one using horses. You'd end up with a indestructible ride. But I wouldn't kill a horse just to do it. I like horses.

Vadania said, "Hi Ka'lion, how did your night go?" Tink was able to confirm that the army has one of those trackers that track the stuff from the cave. I think we're going to have to just put everything back there if we don't want an army following us everywhere. I don't remember there being anything especially useful in the stuff that survived us opening the chest anyway."
