Gerbo and
Belanor chat until the sun starts to peek above the horizon, the early morning hours passing by without incident. Breaking camp is a quick affair and it isn't long before you're on the move along the western edge of the
Neverwinter Wood.
The morning's travel is pleasant enough with a cool, gentle breeze from the coast waving through the tall grass and the bright sun shining overhead. By mid-afternoon, however, the weather starts to change. Clouds start to roll in and rain starts to fall; slowly at first, but as you're nearing your destination, the heavens open up.
Trudging through the increasingly muddy fields you come upon a barely noticeable trail which gradually becomes an old, overgrown lane winding between dilapidated buildings choked in vines and brush. Ahead of you, in the middle of the settlement, rises a steep hill, upon which stands a stone tower with a partially collapsed roof and an adjoining cottage. A dirt road hugs the base of the hill and wends its way between old stone houses, many of which are roofless ruins with interiors open to the
weather. Other buildings appear more or less intact. The whole place is eerily silent.
A wooden sign is nailed to a post nearby. It reads:
"
DANGER! Plant monsters AND zombies! Turn back now!"
Just underneath the sign, shivering wet, is a small grey squirrel. Surprised by your presence the furry creature tries to make a break for it, but can only manage to limp about a foot before coming to rest in a puddle.
OOC:
Every one should be at full HP, full spell slots, etc., etc...
