Sunless Skies, Endless Ice IC

Einharj lets out a loud sigh and begins walking next to Hosa, completely unafraid. He doesn't bother glancing towards the new direction that the sound was coming from, but he calls out to the fey. "Have you seen other humans around here in the past few months or so? Possibly traveling along the same path as we are."

Groth

Groth very carefully follows the others, his weapons in hand. Dark fey do not usually let intruders pass without some casual cruelty inflicted.

”Oh, them,” the voice sounds noticeably piqued at that particular idea. “A pack of oh-so-serious fuddy-duddies, here of all places! Hmph.” It pouts audibly. ”No fun at all. But you all... why don’t we play a game? How about...” There comes an audible crash from somewhere ahead of the four, and the gentle pulse of bioluminescence suddenly speeds up noticeably. “Hide and seek?”

[grifter730]

Einharj paused in his tracks at the confirmation that the fey had possibly seen the previous group. "Well, hide and seek does seem fun," he said, as he began moving forward again. "If we find you, will you tell us about the 'oh-so-serious fuddy-duddies' that you saw?"

Sense Motive (on the fey's response): (1d20+4)[7]

Regardless of its response, Einharj will cast See Invisibility and look around for the fey
Perception: (1d20+4)[11]
EDIT: The perception should've been +12, not +4, so the total is actually 19.

"Of course," it says in a mock-soothing tone. "If you win, I'll tell you everything about them. Buuuuut..." there is a definite note of amusement in the fey's voice. "You don't quite seem to get it. You're not "it" yet." The sound of crashing plants from the other side of the stream becomes louder and louder, and the pulsing auras become near-psychedelic. "My friend over there is "it". Just don't die for a little while, and you'll get your turn. Simple, isn't it?" There's more girlish giggling.

The fey is, pretty obviously, toying with you for its own entertainment. If you had to guess you'd say the mushroom men aren't very exciting for it to play with.

Unfortunately, you do not spot where the creature is hiding riding.

[grifter730]

Realizing that he's probably being toyed with, Einharj grits his teeth, and begins moving earnestly once more, ignoring the fey but still alert enough to pay attention to his surroundings to ensure no surprises are abound. "This game is ill suited for me. Have fun playing with the mushroom people."

[ProudGrognard]

Groth

Groth was not surprised at least. He turns to the others, pointing at the exit of the forest.

"Movehhhhsssss! Barricade there!"

He takes the rear, looking for signs of the approaching 'it' or the fey, weapons in hand. He briefly considers trying to hide and surprise the fey but it is perhaps too late for now.

Hosa adjusts her movement and guides Tomgug to where Groth points.
