The Pit of Leaves

Bialer is at the front of the group and he stops suddenly saying that he senses something isn’t right. He tries to climb the hill face but doesn’t manage. Tyro searches for traps and comes across one. Lady Amyra casts DETECT EVIL but detects nothing. The trap that Tyro found is a pit covered in leaves and branches. Bialer manages to jump across. Tyro triggers the trap with his quarterstaff which reveals a 10-15 foot deep pit. Bialer throws over a rope to the other side for the other to cross with a safety rope. Lady Amyra manages to cross with some difficulty. Gus attempts to cross but gets caught midway on the rope so Quinn reaches out to help him back on to his side of the pit. Eventually Bialer and Dworin move to allow the rope to move and reach the other side allowing Gus to get up. Finally all of the others jump across.

The Sword in the Stone

As they walk along they see the handle of a sword stuck in a rock. Gus attempts to pull it out but is unsuccessful. Dworin then attempts to pull it out and manages without any effort. The sword gives off a positive energy and Dworin keeps it. They continue walking and approach a junction heading east and west – they head east and reach another junction that is split into north and east; they head north.

The Mud Pool

They see a large mud pool off the path with bubbles coming to the surface and a heat mirage at the surface. Bialer throws a pebble into the pool which sinks. The others start moving ahead but Lady Amyra places her hand into the pool and feels a rush of positive energy flow through her so she calls the others back to feel it too. They return, somewhat reluctantly, but feel the same rush of energy so they decide to fill Lady Amyra’s silver box with mud for upcoming ventures.

They continue north up the path when a large shadow happens on the ground and as they look up they see a massive creature flying above them. The creature screeches and flies straight towards Bialer. It looks like a pterodactyl.
