"Well, with all the collapsing towers and such, there might be another way in, though I am not too keen in a vertical ascent with or without the earth sled. I'm just saying it might pay off to take a look around before marching through the front door. Too many bad rumors about the folks that inhabit these parts."

I promise not to get dragged into anything if possible. Just taking a look around. Melnop has Wunderlust and can't help himself any more than Raygar can stop eating.

Once the meal is done, and perhaps sooner if we do not wait for Raygar, Melnop is setting off to explore the town and see if he can get a peek at the Djinn.

I need a refresher. I remember that we were looking for someone at their farm or something. I will go searching for it, but thought I would ask first, particularly since the IC thread starts with entering the Mournland and I'm not sure where the archived thread is.

"It's a depressing sight, no?" Terry looks thoughtful for a moment, his lips pursing and twisting, "I'm thinking that the main entrance is not necessarily the way to enter. There are probably eyes on it that we would best avoid." Stats Male TN Human Slayer/Fighter Level 1/3, Speed 20.

Looking backwards longingly at the swiftly disappearing mount, Agitha joins the mad dash for the other side.

Agitha wipes the blood from the side of her face she edges closer to safe land. "Do you think it will leave us alone now? I mean, aside from it's indiscriminate taste for flesh, it is rather cool. Belongs in a zoo though, not here."

Why is damage important? Astril can fill a different role than damage. Agitha certainly sucks as far as damage goes, but I don't see her as a failure. Heck, that hex has saved our butts a lot of damage. At our level and with his dex, he should be sporting some niche weapons like tanglefoot bags and alchemist flasks for combat, particularly since consumables are refreshed every level. There are some interesting alchemical weapons out there to try out.

No need. She has a +7 (with a +2 bonus from her saddle) and cannot fail a DC 5 check. The Gecko bolts and Agitha is not trying to control it. That leaves the DC 15 ride check for a soft fall which I added to the post.

Melnop, who has long since finished eating, ponders Rudra's words. "Genies can be temperamental and downright nasty, right? That is a very good question. Will whatever we find, provided we find anything, be a mistake to hand over to it? Heck if I know. If so he will have to wrestle it out with the rest of the evil masterminds out there."

Melnop samples everything, and settles down to enjoy the meal. After all, part of exploring a new place is the food, though he finds it very similar to some of the food from back home.

Agitha is severely pummeled by the sounds as is her untrustworthy mount which bolts. "Oh oh!" she screams, as she is carried off 20' before she falls off the creature. Unperturbed (well, only a little perturbed), she continues to cackle after standing up.

Me too.

Terry wakes in the morning with a jerk. Half surprised he slept so soundly and half surprised he wasn't wakened in the middle of the night by a jaws clamped around his throat.
