"Nor I. My magic tends to be of the..." he looks a bit sheepish as he continues, "...destructive type"

Your options seem limited to waiting a day before you attempt to destroy the poison. What you do for the rest of the day remains up to you.

Owen searches around. He follows the wagon tracks and finds that two of the carts the turn into the wilderness at a certain point. The tracks were partially rubbed out and further are obscured by some carefully placed brush. Purposefully looking for the tracks, however, leads you to them. One of the wagons heads north to the Untamed Hills, while the other meanders in the bush more southwesterly.

"I'm open to suggestion on what we can do. If one of the carts seem closer, we can always go chase after it. I haven't used any of my spells or bardic inspiration for the day, so I'm quite ready to go. If not, well, we have been blessed with a nice camp, might as well use it, keeping a lookout for when those carts come back, of course. Speaking of which, we should perhaps try to take a prisoner for questioning..."

OOC:

Owen will have no idea how far the carts may have gone, not to mention which may be closer than the other.

"It's a hard choice!" declares the knight of Winter Fey, "But I advise we wait until I have the chance to re-channel my Patron's blessings. That way we can at least deal with the barrel of poison we have here. I fear leaving it behind, uncleansed. Then, after purifying it at daybreak, we can pursue the other tracks and I'll save my Winter Lady's blessings to apply to the additional barrels when we catch up to them. Three times I will have the power to cast this spell tomorrow."

"Agreed, though if we are to stay in the fortress we ought to still have watches at night. Same as always."

"I share your concern -- leaving this barrel unattended is a troubling thought -- but to my eye, this is not the source, merely a distribution depot. All of the deliveries, save this one, are out on the road. There is no evidence of an alchemist, the raw materials, nor the equipment needed to concoct this nasty brew. I think we've dealt with the delivery boy for this barrel and the depot chief."

"I place priority on stopping these nasty deliveries, finding the mastermind, neutralize and securing the barrels, with the destruction of the poison second."

OOC:

what time is it? If it's late, the point is moot, and we rest before we go.

"This coin could be put to use getting the residents of Clover Grove resettled, I doubt they need the ale however" Kelvin winks the biggest wink that has ever been winked.

"True, although, I'm sure the Duke is probably already taking care of that..."

You arrived at the entrance to the valley at noon, so it is early afternoon.

"Well, if we're after the alchemist behind it all," comments the dragonborn, "my guess is that those would be the wagon tracks heading deeper into the hills. What do you think?"

"That is certainly a possibility. I'll admit, I'm surprised we found something so quickly, I was sort of expecting it would took us several day of trekking through the wilderness before finding any sort of evidence. You probably are right."

OOC:

Nar is going to push for going -- does anyone need a short rest? Nar will get his Channel Divinity back, but I don't want him to be the only one holding us up, since he's advocating for the chase

I think Kelvin wants to rest.

OOC:

Jhishma would regain his warlock spell slot and spend a Hit Die if we short rest, but he's totally willing to get a move on if the group is ready!

OOC:

Kelvin is fine either way, but i believe Jhishma wanted to wait to be able to destroy the poison.

Oct 25, 2016 11:38 pm

OOC:

Jishma and Nar would need a long rest to change spells for purify water. Nar doesn't want to wait that long. He thinks the barrel is safe for now.
