    As for the hand, I'm not surprised. But what of the other items?

    Okay, I'll clear it with the lady and come back to you on that. I'll take that silversheen now, he says as he hands over 250 gold. and if she approves, I'll return with the rest. as he heads out with the silversheen he hesitates by the tent entrance. Oh. If you hear me screaming in pain and horror, that means she says the deal is off. Have a nice day! he adds as he turns increasingly pale and heads out.

    He rushes out to Verossa with the silversheen outstretched and says, I'm sorry it took so long! Here's the silversheen! he pants for a moment and continues We also have the opportunity to get a Ring of Sustenance, a Ring of Protection, a Ring of Counterspells, an Amulet of Health, and a Cloak of Elvenkind. Are any of those appealing to you?

    Spoiler
    Show
    Okay, if he has 12 ranks in sense motive that puts him at level nine or higher. But my save is 19, so maybe I can successfully hypnotize him.


    Edit: 250 gold for silversheen.

    Raif Clearsight speaks up, slightly stentorian, less playful.

    'I could use any of the rings, the amulet and maybe even the cloak. What price did the merchant quote? I still have plenty of golden lies. I could particularly use the ring of sustenance and the Amulet of Health'.

    Raif simpers slightly, at Verossa,

    'Unless my gallant Lady would like to buy something pretty for me?'

    All seriousness again.

    'We did say that we wanted powerful magic items, and I have already equipped the group with the mundane items requested from my own funds'.

    Drayner looks between Halabur and Raif "Do you both have such lack of confidence that you believe we need all of this, at the expense of valuable time? Some may be useful, but I don't believe we need it at this moment, you understand who we are fighting, they are likely to have magic up the wazoo. If you desperately need something then I will throw some money in just to get things moving, otherwise, mount your horses and so we can finally leave."

    And with that, Drayner begins to move slowly towards the most direct path out of here before stopping about 7 metres (21 feet I think) ahead of the group.

    Halabur yells to the tent, "Sorry, she says the deal's off!" and mounts Sparklelord, moving off after the three.

    When he gets over there he apologizes to them, "I'm sorry, you're right about the thieves and magical bullies thing. I should have behaved better. We may be able to find the things we need in the road in due time, I had not considered that." He continues with a blush, "I carry a lot of arcane knowledge, but it seems I lack common sense. For that I do beg your forgiveness, and promise I will actively strive to improve myself in that regard."

    'Thank you, it's a little gift from m'Lady Carmine. Not very practical for riding, but a barefaced lie at least'. replies Clearsight to Halabur.

    When Drayner questions the cleric's confidence, Clearsight smiles.

    'Ah, youth's carefree nature. When you're body begins to turn traitor, the way mine is starting to play false with me, you'll learn the true enormity of what confidence means. Though you're right, we have tarried awhile, and it seems we'd likely be unable to afford it. Onward then, giddyup Filofax'.

    Clearsight kicks the horse on and rides it at a trot down the road.

    'If we don't lie, steal, cheat and murder then how will people ever know that we're supposed to be heroes?' Raif Clearsight mutters to himself.

    At Raif's comment simply replies "How will they know we aren't the enemy?

    Drayner rears up on his horse and begins to jog it forward"Well then, I believe it is time we all left, perhaps we will find some mysterious treasure on our way." you can tell he really doesn't want to be he any longer, and Drayner continues to jog forward on his horse when people follow him and he proceeds to exit the Pavilion.

    Perhaps there is more honor amongst my colleagues than I have given them credit for. Eleanora thought to herself as she listened to the party's conversation. At the very least, not a single one of them is an Arrik Lansburg.

    With that, Eleanora finished inspecting her horse before mounting up and following after the rest of the group.

    Clearsight smiles. Good. Master Drayner's already starting to get it. Verossa and Halabur may be saved already, and even m'Lady Elenora is much further on compared to Lord Belkinstair.

    As the horses trot along the road Raif Clearsight draws level with Halabur and asks

    'Might you happen to have any more illusions prepared for today? Your charming little false truths?'

    I have only one use of prestidigitation, one disguise self, two color sprays and ghost sounds, and one invisibility in the way of illusions. I also have some combat spells in case we come across trouble. Halabur responds.

    As you move out from the encampment, moving south along the mountain side heading in a slight eastern direction as the mountain curves out. The sounds of the camp fading away as you get further away.
    The mid afternoon sun starting to dip below the peaks causing the shadows to lengthen and the darkening.

    Once your about a mile from the encampment the land slowly changes from flat plains to gently rolling hills of tall grass (almost to the bell of the horses, to mid chest of the pony) with scatterings of trees and what look like thick hedges left to go wild.

    Raif Clearsight's a little concerned.

    'All the fighters are bunched up at the front. Drayner's well protected, but what about Halabur? I suppose the fighters have more experience than me...I would have thought a foe would attack the centre or the rear. Ah, but maybe they expect a double bluff?'

    Reasoning that he can take a few hits for Halabur, and that it's best to be able to have the whole group in sight to cast his support magic, Raif Clearsight brings up the rear.

    The rest of the day passes with nothing more than a few birds flying between one one outcropping of bushes to the other, small wild animals calling challenges or other calls to each other and the light breeze stiffening into a solid wind. Just before dusk, in the failing light, you can't help but notice a very large shadow moving at an extremely fast pace over head heading towards the mountains.

    With the last light of day fading away you find an small formation of about 4 or 5 boulders on the side of one of the small hills that seem to make up this part of the countryside.
    The rocks are large enough to shelter you and the horses from the wind and also give a good vantage point for someone on guard.

    *Sort out watches (if your going to have them), there is only about 9 hours before dawn as at this part of the year night is shorter than day (14 hours of daylight, 10 of night)*

    *Blessed Lord of Nightmares! Attention to science? When did you die and get possessed by Poul Anderson?*

    Verossa dismounts. Cautiously. She's not used to these funny four-legged things. Something that moves you should have sails and masts. "I'll take the middle watch, when the night is still and quiet, and unspeakable actions of violence and horror are perennially about to happen in the corners of your eyes. And I'd appreciate it if someone with eyes could take it with me. I'm old enough to know that my powers of observation might fairly be described as lacking."

    Eleanora rode along, enjoying the serenity of her surroundings. It really was a beautiful day, with the mountains well-lit by the evening light and the breeze blowing at the perfect speed; it reminded her an awful lot of her home in Stonehold. El couldn't help but smile as she absent-mindedly rubbed the top of Valor's head, admiring a flock of small birds as they flitted about from bush to bush.

    Suddenly though, a large shadow fell over the tranquil scene. The Dame quickly jerked her head upwards, squinting her eyes to make out the large shape overhead.

    Eleanora could feel the hair on the back of her neck rising. Whatever that was, she got the feeling that it did not bode well for the party. And besides that, night was falling fast, and the wind was picking up speed. Perhaps it was time to call the first day to an end.

    "Mayhaps we should set camp here for the night," Eleanora said, more as a statement than a question, as they approached the outcropping of boulders. "I could take first watch. What say you?"

    When you look up into the murky darkness that's descending over the land you can't see much of the flying shape. What you do discern is a long pointed body with large wings with what appears to be a short but wide fan shaped tail.

    "Verossa, while I do not posess the ability to see perfectly in the dark, I do posess a wand that could be usefull, but may wake those already sleeping. If you wish for company though I would happily oblige, Otherwise, I will take first watch." Drayner begins to dismount his horse and carefully feeds it, he seems a little nervous at first, before he realises that everything is okay and helps everyone set up camp if they need it.

    As he is checking his packs and such, his tindertwigs remind him of something "Shall someone collect some firewood? Keep some light in the area, the rest of us can set up." He sets aside a tindertwig before packing up and rolling out his bedroll, and setting the disguise kit at the base.

    As they reach the camp site Raif says.

    'Yes, this looks like a good place to stop'.

    Then he dismounts from Filofax.

    'M'Lady Elenora? I'm no expert with these animals, but isn't there something we have to do with them? Rub them down, put them to pasture, something like that?'

    When Drayner mentions going for firewood, Raif looks to Verossa,

    'Should we set a fire tonight? If so, I'll keep my armour on, and give you a hand with the wood Drayner, least there are dangerous creatures in the wood'.

    'I'm afraid I need to meditate to refresh my spells, so that will limit my availability to keep watch. If any of you have any empty water skins I should probably fill them now'.
