The Mountain Pass

[merias]

Dandy, Dwarf Cleric

"I didna even get a warm up shot in!" Dandy says. He shoulders Whelm and slaps Dieter on the back. "Nice work me friend!"

"I say we let 'em go an be on our way."

[Spanningtree]

Dieter - Mage

Looking over to Dandy, Furuk and Castinus post storm: This is potentially the first of many.... let's hope they all go this way.

OCC: I think that was a 2 charge spell from the wand. Removing 2.

Among the bodies of the leaders, Grimes finds 50 GP, a nice gem (also worth 50 GP), and a necklace worth 250 GP. NOt bad but not a horde by any means. All armor, weapons, and the like are dented and smashed by the hailstones and are worthless.

The DM is saddened a bit by the brevity of the action.

The continue your trek. With no sun to see, night and day have little meaning. However the time passes as you go, and the grey seems lighter during the "daytime" and night seems darker, murkier somehow. You are nearing the time when you might set up camp, when what happens next [1d20] = 1 you see a large group of folk on horseback, around a score of them by quick count, riding down the trail towards you.

They have not acted hostile yet but appear to have spotted you.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes will keep a tight grip one handed on Wave, and the other on the reins. He watches the approaching group with great caution.

Dieter - Mage

Hmmm.... I'd rather not camp near strangers.

Grimes mumbles "Let's try to press past them just a bit then set up for the night. Assuming they don't have something foul in mind..."

[tumblingdice]

Castinus pauses in his saddle, bow in hand, waiting to see what happens.

[merias]

Dandy also reserves action, waiting to see who this is, but still readies Whelm just in case.

[greyarea]

The group of men approach.

The leader holds up his hand and the rest halt. Who are you that enter Kettite territory? he demands.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes starts to say something, then pauses. Waiting for someone of more sound mind to engage these men. He reserves the right to act stupid if needed.
