    Ozzariem's horse is a brilliant white stallion, well muscled and strong willed.

    As he rides with the group, it seems as if he notices something, because his head eerily swivels in a complete circle....

    Natural 20 is still an auto save.


    However, the only one to notice anything is Math, who seemed to catch out of the corner of his eye, a strange figure standing behind Gloria and her horse. The most he was able to make out however is that it looked unhappy to see her.
    In the time it took for him to fully look over at it however, it was gone.

    Suddenly Ozzariem stops his horse. He again swivels his head around.

    "Whomever you are that spoke to me, you are obviously unworthy of your station in life if you cannot accomplish what you said you attempted."

    He turns to the group. "Did any of you happen to see anything or hear anything?"

    Alamandias looked around, his eyes suddenly narrowing

    He's imagining, or someone's trying to play silly buggers with our heads. One or the other. Mages have tried it on me often enough. Luckily, though, I'm immune, thanks to my... condition. If anyone else starts hearing, seeing, or feeling strange things, speak up.

    That, or our lumiescent friend is just crazy. Either way... best keep an eye out. Of course, I could be wrong, but in my line of work I find it pays to be paranoid.

    Mentally however, the event was occasion for a little soul-searching.
    Okay, how's my conscience right now? Pretty clean. There was that blacksmith's assistant...but no, he wouldn't be complaining, not in the state I left him... Wait, maybe it was your outburst last week.

    Alamandias

    Alamandias gives a rather discomforting grin as he rides along, his broad-brimmed hat pulled low to shield his sensitive eyes from the sun. He chuckles a little, speaking to his companions in a low, mellow voice.

    He, she, or it will come in it's own time. Most things do, in my experience. Besides, at least you won't have to worry about it sneaking up on us while we sleep. After all, I never do, so I can keep watch over you... He chuckles again, whistling a little tune composed a hundred years or so ago prior. It had never been popular, but he'd always liked it, and it had stuck in his head when so much else had faded away. After a moment, he spoke up again.

    Well, as we have little else to do, and I'm a bit bored and a little curious, let me ask this: Why did each of you decide to join up on this little venture. Since I asked, I'll reveal my own motives first. Mostly for the reward. The gold is always useful, and maybe I can finagle a title out of it. All the storybook vampires always seem to have "Count" or "Baron" before their name, and I've never had that. I must confess I'm a little envious. Besides, it's a good excuse to have a forbidding castle on some barren crag somewhere where one can entertain the inexplicable stream of nubile young women in flimsy nightdresses who seem drawn to such locales. Once again he grins under his hood, and whether he's joking, serious, or a mixture is impossible to tell.

    He sighs.
    "Honestly, boredom. After my forced retirement, I was given a small plot of land..."
    He looks at the vampire.
    "...With no title, before you ask. So, for the past couple seasons, I've been trying my hand at farming. Farming was something they didn't teach in military school, so I'm not exactly what you can call successful at it. So, instead, I've been making money telling stories at the local pubs. But, it grew tedious, and I long for the field of battle again. With any luck, I will die soon."
    He looks around, realizing his last statement might have given the wrong impression.
    "I don't mean I am actively seeking death, but I'd rather die in the field of combat than pulling weeds on that abysmal farm."

    "I am here to see this land have one ruler." he says simply, riding along with the group. "This king is fighting the forces of chaos and undead, thus seemed like a good choice to align with. Besides" he pauses "the other side has had no contact with me, yet."

    The day draws on, like it didn't truly want to end, but knew it was innevitable. The sun's reluctance was about the only thing that reminded you it was mid summer. The fields had remained their strong green, and the weather was unsually moderate, only truly requiring a cloak at night.
    As you came to know each other just that much better you almost lost sight of time, until you realised finally, that the sun was setting.
    You still had almost three hours left out of your mounts, so you figured you'd push on a little further. However you were stopped when you came across a river bank. Rather than running your mounts through the potentially dangerous waters, you decided to travel up stream a bit to find a bridge, making sure to mark on the map where it put you.
    However, finding only a small gathering of trees an hour later, you decided it would be best to take camp here.

    Having set up your tents, starting a fire to help keep the evening meals warm, and deciding your watch, it was finally time for the day to end.
    What those who don't sleep will be doing shall be very relevenat, and I will need them to be descriptive.

    I will also then need Will against Illusion saves from all who are sleeping, at -5 for lack of intent and unconciousness.

    Upon reaching "camp", Ozzariem dismounts. Before his companions start to get out their trail rations, he stretches forth his hands. "Allow me to provide your sustenance, and though some of us may not be able to digest it, it will still benefit us."

    He spreads his hands wide, and in a flash, he summons forth a great feast, including a magnificent table, chairs, service, and food and drink.

    After the meal, he settles down before the campfire. He sits cross-legged upon the ground, his elbows resting upon his thighs. His forearms are stretched away from his body and his hands are palm-up. His strange, lidless eyes show no indication of being open or closed. He seems to be humming slightly.

    Every creature partaking of the feast is cured of all diseases, sickness, and nausea; becomes immune to poison for 12 hours; and gains 1d8 temporary hit points +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10) after imbibing the nectar-like beverage that is part of the feast. The ambrosial food that is consumed grants each creature that partakes a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and Will saves and immunity to fear effects for 12 hours.

    Gloria Blackblade
    Gloria laughs and claps her hands as the laden table springs into existence, her laugh sounding positively girlish. She eagerly sits down in one of the high-backed chairs and puts her hands in her lap, just taking in the sight of the repast.
    Chewing her lip slightly, she looks from dish to dish before calling to the invisible servants imperiously,
    "You, there! Bring me...some of that fish, that apple-No, not that apple you cretin, the good one; there!- some of that bread with some butter, and a bunch of those greens. And You! Pour me something to drink!"
    As the phantoms whirl about she pauses, then makes a face and calls out once more,
    "Okay okay, and give me the rarest slice of that roast you can get, too."
    As she's catered too, Gloria relaxes a little in the chair and picks up one of the conjured forks thoughtfully, twirling it between her long fingers. With a smile like a beatific wolf, she begins to eat. As she does, the look on her face can only be described as sensual as she enjoys both the food and the drink.
