    Upon seeing Flynn, Kith goes directly to him, and rather than digging in her bag for bandages as Lucas suggests...casts a healing spell on him as he rests.

    (1d8+1)[2] Since we aren't in combat I assume the spell succeeds (eventually). The roll is for number of hit points restored.


    After healing Flynn, Kith assists Lee with setting up camp.

    The next morning, Kith grins when she sees Flynn making friends with the fox. I think this new friend suits you, Flynn! You're not near so jaded as you would have anyone believe! With a burst of renewed enthusiasm, she walks and occasionally skips along as the group travels.

    Looking up when he feels his body recovering, Flynn thanks Kith, saying, "Whew, that feels better! Thank you." A puzzled look crosses his face then, and he continues, "I know how that works for me, but how did you do that, exactly? The mending the wounds back together...?"

    Grumbling a little, Flynn then laughs at himself a bit. "My life hasn't been very easy, but I do understand friendship and gratitude. There just haven't been many people who have shown me either before," he says, gesturing at Lucas. "He is really about the only person in town who has ever had my back. While not the smartest, Lucas is a good guy. Maybe someday I could be more like him in that way, who knows?"

    The journey northward passes uneventfully. The party makes good time; at midmorning the arrive at the small tributary, indicated as a landmark on their map. About an hour later, the dense trees and thick brush of the forest give way, parting seemingly in respect for the titanic darkwood tree that dominates the following clearing. Several times taller than the local temple's steeple, the obviously ancient tree reaches into the sky with branches like giant's arms. At its base, roots thicker than a man's waist plumb the earth, spreading outward and down for several feet from the central trunk. Its limbs are broad and strong, its bark thick and so richly colored as to almost be black. The massive thing feels less a tree and more a cathedral of leaves and branches.

    The clearing is roughly ovular, about 180' from north to south, and 110' west to east. The massive trunk in the center of the clearing is at least 30 feet in diameter, with low easy to reach limbs extending in every direction.

    Flynn whistles and says, "Whoa. That's a big, old tree. So, what exactly do you think this moss looks like?"

    He cautiously looks around at the clearing, taking the time to visually explore everything he can see before moving closer to the tree itself.

    Lorelei shrugs at Flynn's question. Moss is moss, right?

    Crossbow readied, she follows him from a modest distance, looking as she goes.

    Big indeed. Once he gets over the sheer size of the tree, Merek turns away and notices Flynn's cautious surveying of the clearing. Looking for more wildlife to pick up, Flynn? Almost dying once not enough for you?

    Merek does, however, do the same, and only very cautiously approaches the tree, scanning his surroundings constantly.

    Kith's eyes go wide as they enter the clearing, clearly impressed. When everyone else stops, she keeps walking towards the tree that looms above her. She pauses for just a moment, looks back at Lucas, and says You asked me about things I'd seen on my travels...if I'd ever encountered any noteworthy creatures. I've seen some neat things...but this...THIS is amazing!! Beaming from head to toe, she turns back to the tree and keeps walking closer, her head tilted up as if to drink in as much of the sight as possible. She keeps talking, but seems to be talking to herself. I wonder how old this tree IS, exactly...or precisely what species it is...I need a closer look at those leaves, the bark. Oh wait! I can't forget to see if there is any moss growing on it. We really need that moss. I wonder if the moss has any other properties that we don't know of yet. Or why it only grows on this tree...is there something unique about it aside from how massive and old it is? Hmmmmm...so many questions... Great Desna, what a sight!

    Quickly catching up to Kith, he puts a massive hand on her shoulder.

    woa woa woa little one. Don't just start running in front of us because your curious. There will be plenty of time for that later.

    Lee steps slightly in front of her.

    "Pilip is good enough for me, though getting him was more painful than I care to think about," Flynn says, not allowing his attention to be drawn away from his dedicated scanning of the clearing. "Anybody see anything to be avoided?" he asks to the party in general.

    On the slow approach towards the tree, no one notices anything out of the ordinary, except a gigantic tree.

    You came in from the south, where the clearing is widest. The branches extend about 60 feet from the trunk, in your direction. You do not yet see anything you would describe as moss.

    Lorelei casts a sharp look at Kith, and Lee before *psst*ing to get their attention. Let's keep to the brush on the edges and circle the clearing... I've had one too many encounters from rushing in already.

    Eyes peeled (and focused on the edges of the clearing), Lorelei continues her circle of the area...

    Flynn nods silently and follows her around the clearing's edge. Stopping for a moment, he holds a single finger up to his mouth and looks at Pilip, trying to will the kit to be quiet too.

    The group silently passes around the clearing, with no sign of danger. About a quarter of the way, you can begin to notice quite a bit of vibrantly green moss growing on the northern side of the trunk.

    "Let's walk in from the north, where we saw all that moss," Flynn quietly says, still nervous about open clearings. "Kith said she can recognize the right moss - someone walk with her while I help cover you from behind..."

    Lorelei nods at Flynn, returning her longbow to her back and almost lovingly draws her scimitar from its sheath at her hip. She wordlessly walks up to stand by Kith.

    Merek nods and moves to Kith's other side. A shuriken suddenly appears in his hand, as he says The three of us should be fine. The rest of you watch our backs, and look out for your own while you're at it.

    From this distance, all you can tell is that there's a darker green patch against the near-black of the bark.

    Surprise round

    As the party passes underneath the overhanging boughs of the tree, two large serpentine figures with dragon-like heads and two muscular fore-arms jump from the limbs above, crashing down atop Merek and Lorelei. Lorelei takes 7 damage (4+3), and Merek takes 11 (6+3+2). The first wyrm engages Lorelei in a grapple, while the second fails to get a hold on Merek.

    1st round actions, go!
