With Ruth's rope securely attached and his daggers readied Osgood creeps forward onto the wooden catwalk. The halfling reaches the cabin without difficulty....
Osgood carefully tests the window to see if he can open it relatively quietly. If so, he will enter the cabin. If not, he will signal his allies for...
Osgood returns to the party and says "Well, I can't sneak in, the window would cause too much of a racket. There seems to be someone sleeping in there. I'd...
... "I think you ought to try sneaking in," says Ruth. "You might make enough noise to wake a normally sleeping person, but given that deer, it may well not be...
Victor, after considering for a moment, asks, "Can anyone here cast dispell magic on the deer? Perhaps this will give us a clue as to how to proceed?!" ... "I...
As Osgood is crossing the walkway back to the shore he suddenly hears a woman's voice coming from the water below. It is an uncannily beautiful voice, like a...
Osgood briefly looks shocked as he once again hears the voice of the maiden. He returns to the party and tells them what he has seen and heard. "Don't a'know...
... Ruth shakes her head. ... This time Ruth nods. "This water spirit sounds benign and unhappy with the situation; I'd say it was worth further investigation....
"If you don't mind...that would be wonderful. I usually don't take unnecessary risks and I'm a little afraid of entering through an entrance that I know will...
Unsure of what Osgood has seen, Angriff strains his eyes trying to peer into the lake. He stays off the walkway for the moment, but he's poised and ready to...
"Aye, a little," Osgood replies. "Perhaps Ruth and I can proceed. I'm sure that if you are in close proximity, we should be able to give a yell if you are...
Ruth and Osgood cross back to the shack. The halfling fits one of his daggers into the crack by the window and pries it back and forth with as much finesse as...
... "Uh, sure," replies the crusader momentarily distracted by something. While the small rogue does his stuff, Ruth looks around the hut carefully. Tom...
Inside, Osgood sees nothing unexpected. Some rough furniture, foodstuffs, and a woodsman's leather armor, sword, and bow. There are some wilted greens in a...
We'll be having another game opening in the next week or so. If any lurkers are interested you certainly get first crack. This is not first come first serve,...
Opening the door is no problem. Approaching the sleeping man they quickly determine that his enchanted sleep isn't going to be broken by simple shaking or...
Since he can already feel the languidity that rolls off the lake beginning to affect him, Angriff is more than willing to take the nymph at her word. He hopes...
... Indeed, Ruth helps Evandril with the sleeping man, but once the horse is underway, she makes sure that she is the closest one to where the nymph might be. ...
Almost as soon as he's under the shade of the trees Evandril starts to show signs of waking. It takes a moment or two, but then he comes around suddenly and...
Angriff has kept his sword sheathed for once. He shows Evandril his empty palms and calmly says, "Not rogues, my friend, but honest travellers who have...
... "No it wasn't, Angriff" says Ruth, hands on hips, "the lady of the lake wanted him awake again." She turns to the man. "You were asleep in your cabin over...
Victor intones, " And it was not just you...there was a deer near the lake that was also asleep without apparent cause!" Tom the Happy <tom.martin@...>...
The woodsman stops reaching for the sword that isn't there but he plainly remains wary. A wry grin creeps over his face while listening to Ruth and Angriff,...
[OOC: I have to run out of town for a few days. My wife has to attend a funeral -- so we will be travelling. Should be back late Sunday. Please take care of...
Evandril's explanation seems plausible enough, and the gift of gems is more than generous, but Angriff can't help wondering if the young man might not still be...
