Chapter one part one. A land divided.

[metalzoan]

"I am glad to take second watch. It has been quite some time where I could rest peacefully... hopefully that is." "Thank you all for your help today, I will get some rest now."

Sven stays close to camp, but still isolates herself to contemplate the company's next move. She feels relieved that finally there are those willing to fight the dreadful red lords and hopefully to restore the lands. These are good folk she thinks to herself as she closes her eyes. Falcor lays next to her and they both rest.

For varis's perception on watch and also has danger sense .

The first few hrs drift into the long night, nothing of a threat lingers in the dark thus far. Soon he wakes Sven for her shift/watch. The smaller folk do the same.

Keeping an eye for danger as well.

Sven if the wolf is staying up with you have him do a perception roll. If he does not have the skill then roll a d20 and add his Windom mod. 

Then roll a perception 4 yourself as well.

Wind can take third watch. Disadvantage because no darkvision?

The night passes on uneventfully into the next moring. With full energy for spells and wounds healed.

The party wake to the smell of cooked scorpion meat.

" O great you up. We hae a gift for you.

This is our thank you for helping us the other day. I/we hope you like it. "

Rose, hands out portions to the party. It looked nicely prepared and seamed that she and a few others were well up early to get it ready.

She has a bit of a nervious look on her face. Possibly aw struck from the events that transpired yesterday and trying to make a great impression on the party in hope they like her cooking.

Since Wind was on last watch, can I perception check to see if anyone tampered with the meal? 

GMlbkHI8p_1-20+8=13 if yes. 1-20

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

( wow i really got to the party with paranoia this early on normaly that take me weeks. Ok well the oasis bit does do that to a party. jk. .

No one tampered unless u count Rose betting away some of the gnomes who kept saying she needed to do this or that with the meat. She was having none of thier ( to her anyway) misguided help.

[metalzoan]

Sven gets up, it's been quite some time waking to someone making breakfast....

Nodding a thanks to Wind, and understanding that the food is ok to eat, Sven heads over to where they are serving.

"Thank you so very much for your kindness. Where did you procure the scorpion? I hope you did not have troubles gaining this food for us."

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

" O some of us are rangers so they know some of the best spots to forage for food even in unlikly places. They things that had us before we were freeded did not let us hun much only the bare minimalist so it was fun for them to do what they are good at. So it was not a big trouble for them. "

[mighty]

Varis offers a a half smile, accepting the food that is presented him. Being alone for so long, and typically hard to trust, he takes a long look over the meal before taking a bite.

(You can ignore this since you've stated things are safe to eat, but have to at least go through the motions as that's what Varis would do. Survival check to make sure food is safe.)

cbu37Aupp_1-20 + 4 =20


Deciding that the food is safe to eat, Varis quickly wolfs down his meal before gathering up his things to do a quick perimeter of the area. There was a long day before them, and it would be best to move on as soon as possible before they drew more attention to themselves.

Omar :

" Rose was it? That is varis way of saying he likes it and he is thankfull for your generosity. I like it as well you did a great job. "

[at]

Callo rose last, still getting used to this new time. Accepting the offer of food she sent her magical raven high into the sky invisible above the camp to look for travellers nearby.

"I take it you still want to attempt this rescue but once we have moved the dwarves safely away I would like to visit the temple to Isis, perhaps we can learn more of what is happening there."

Wind begins to draw in the sand with his quarterstaff, indicating the dwarves, the party, and the slaver’s camp where the other dwarves are held. 

In the voice of an old, weather-beaten dwarf, Wind says, “Ha! So... what be the plan?”1-20 performance drawing check (for fun).

" well we could go in like we were originally going to as slaves. See once we are bought they will put us to work but we will be on the inside most of us can use this to our advantage. We use message spells to send word in the camp we are going to brake them out. Menwhile your getting paid and inspecting the place looking for gaurd counts possible exits with minimal resiatance along the way. Some could be hired as extra mercinary security to keep an eye on us."

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

The gnomes and the halflings like wind drawings and add funny faces and red dragon army sucks and the like. Even The dwarfs seam to like the drawings of tatical maps, but give a sturn look at the gnomes messing about in places.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

( If the party has other options I the dm are completely fine with it, this is just the plan the ones u resqued had before you freed them.)

[at]

"I had hoped we might be able to forge documents to pass as agents of the dragons taking the slaves to another site. If we must attack the camp itself it will not be long until our actions are discovered and forces sent to track us."

[mighty]

Varis paced about impatiently as the others spoke. How much easier things would be if they could just march in and cut down all in their path. No disguises, no tricks. Just pure skill in combat. Yet Omar was right. The entire army needed to crumble. That would take time, as much as he despised the thought. Perhaps, then, the trickery Callo suggested had merit. A way to get the dwarves free with minimal effort. How he hated having to stoop so low.

"Given our experience at the Oasis, I do believe Wind could help with that. We also, happen to have a group of slaves already. May help to sell the ruse, if they see that we've already 'recalled' a group from a previous location with documentation showing as such. This way, when we show the paperwork to take a group of their slaves for transfer, as well, they see it's a widespread order that we're proceeding about."

[messiahmoose]

Wind draws a circle around the “slaves,” then around the party, and draws an arrow into the slaver’s camp, then quickly and aggressively wipes away the slaver’s camp as if to imply a great struggle. 

“Or...” in a dwarvish voice, then draws and arrow out the back of the camp as he says “Ssshhhh...”
