Also, prepare for an expedition and ponder where to go.

I suggest heading to Dawnmadien in a disguise.

Agreed, try not to step on any toes though. Also, bring something of value to trade for preserved meat, lots of it. Mostly as a backup for when hunting goes south.

Edit: wait, elf village, crap, elves don't eat meat do they?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

-3 Slices of Goblin Jerkey (In pocket)

Can't we eat this?

Also, if we are going to hunt Everpine is a much safer place... But I'd prefer animals for now

Plus, I'd prefer the ghost as servant as long as we stay in the tower

Find out what he needs for the artifact.

You ask the ghost what he would need to complete an artifact.

"Honestly I'm not sure. Dwarves go into strange moods to make artifacts, and don't know anything about them until that happens. Once you order me to make it I'll know, but I may have trouble communicating with you. Since I AM bound to your service, there is a chance you might be able to order me to use specific components or make a specific object, but I wouldn't count on it."

Also, prepare for an expedition and ponder where to go.

I suggest heading to Dawnmadien in a disguise.

You sigh. "Wonderful. Well as I said, I will consider your offer. In the meantime I would like to visit Dawnmaiden without any ancient or well educated residents identifying me for what I am. Do you think you could whip me up some chain-mail and a helmet to conceal my identity?"

Illuem nods. "That I can do master. I'll need to take measurements, and you will have to gather material for me. Phyros kept me busy make all sorts of metal gizmos and such. Just bring a whole bunch of unneeded down and I can melt them for your disguise."

It takes an hour and a half for the spectral dwarf to measure every contour of your twisted body, and the rest of the night to sort through the junk on the first floor and bring all the mundane metal goods downstairs to be melted. Illuem informs you that he should have your gear ready by midnight.

By the time you are finished Alice is awake. She watches you scarf down the jerky and what is left of Phyros before suggesting another trip to the woods to hunt for food and pratice magic. The teenage wizard also mentions that she would be willing to go out and hunt on her own if you have better things to do.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Should agree to go with her, we need a stomach(s) with digestive juices

Besides if something bad happens to her and she doesn't return her father may think that we did something to her

[Grek]

This. Also, since we need to hunt and we need to do fire magic, I propose that we try hunting with fire magic.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I support hunting with fire magic

Expects several "let's not risk starting a forest fire...."

[Fireiy]

If the prey is in a clearing or something. I personally prefer not having the whole world know about us yet just because of a spark.

[Grek]

If we do accidentally start a forest fire, we can use our time looping spell to stop the fire from spreading until we can deal with it.

Or we can just leave it there and have a clearing full of ever-burning fire outside our house.

Whichever.

[Fireiy]

We could do that, but not sure how effective that would be.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Just go hunting with hunting,

[racnor]

Just go hunting with hunting,

+1. Animal and plant empathy are invaluable for doing things in woods, and since elves live in woods...

You quickly wake up Foghorn to inform him that you are taking his daughter hunting. He mumors a quick 'good luck' before dozing off again.

The pair of you head back into the forest in search of something to kill or practice magic on. Less than five minutes after you enter you spot trouble in the form of a mother grizzly and her three cubs. Your camouflage prevents it from detecting you, but it sure as hell sees Alice and rears up on its rear legs to roar in warning. You doubt even if you succeeded in communicated with it, it would be interested in listening to reason.

Encounter Roll 1d20 = 3 + 5(Guide's Skill) = 8

[Grek]

Slow time, then grab Alice and leap into a tree with our springy legs.
