SPOT Raen and Sir Clive

Clive makes it.

RocEter-- Sir Clive also notices a small light off to the northeast, somewhere up the road (the direction from which the wagon seemed to have been coming, judging by its position and where the horses lie), more or less. Could be a couple of miles. Whether it is a signal lantern, a campfire, a brightly lit window, or something else, he cannot tell from this distance.

Also, the glittering light is supposed to be very bright - although you cannot read by it. Hence I don't think it is as "strong" as a lamp. Still, that would be for you to decide Ewan. Perhaps the others can see several moving lights far away now? Perhaps they condense to a single one?
Regardless, the orcs or whatever they are, are glowing like medium-sized fireflies. If a lantern can be seen from 2 miles with some difficulty, perhaps a glowing person can be spot too.

Damn, I miss the discussion I wanted to be part of...
I will keep Raen's opinions secret, but damn, did I want to be part of that discussion...

Raen sends his long-ranged magic missile to hit the two running beastmen as sir Clive starts the search.
2 missiles to the 1st guy and 1 to the 2nd guy.
First: 0 +2
Second: 1 +1

It's your lucky day, orcs (or beastmen)

I had the same problem. It really slowed me down in betraying the entire party's confidence to the Zhents.

As it happens, I had to take an exam over the weekend, so the access error was good for my focus.

Since the Zhents I met in Sembia mentioned Vaasi horsemen, could I perhaps find books on Vaasi horse breeds, horse-centered business, and renowned riders in the library at the Black Altar?

Klokulf learns of three points of interest:

North of Zhentil Keep and not far from Vaasa dwell a nomadic barbarian people called the Eraka, or simply 'The Ride.'
Descriptions of them in texts sound a bit like accounts of Klokulf's distant ancestors, though he isn't sure about the language.


The Nars, a seminomadic horse-taming people of the Cold Lands, sometimes travel and graze their herds in Vaasa.

Sossers are hardy horses bred in Vaasa, Thar, and neighboring countries. Vaasan trappers and miners make much use of these beasts.

I almost forgot, would Klokulf have time to scribe a scroll of speak with dead? I recall Bennedict wanted to learn that spell.
The total cost for that would be 187.5 gp and 15 XP, I believe. That would eat up 65 gold glories, 9 electrum pieces, the rest of the trade goods (93 gp), and a bottle of axiomatic water sold at cost (if someone in the city will take that deal).

Sure, pay the price and add the item to your sheet.

Oh, and would I also have been able to get someone to evaluate the nature of that strange green bottle from under Halvan's Keep?

Yes, but not free of charge.

Raen wanted to talk with Clive privately on the way back from the attack site, back in chapter 11. Can this be done? Or I should postpone for an opportunity on the way?
