The group reforms in front of the burning mill. It is fall and the grass is dry and the fire is spreading quickly.

Er, should we put water on this or something? Tub asks looking around at all the dried flora.
please remind me. There's some sort of bucket brigade I'm assuming. If so how do we alert them. If not then where's that village well?

The abandoned mill is a couple of miles outside of town.

As soon as he and the others have checked over the dead orcs for any valuables, Vik will regroup with the others. When he sees that everyone is alive, he let's out a deep breath of relief.

"This fire is way beyond our ability to battle, Tub. I wish we could, but we'd better settle for getting out of here alive with Minter and the amulet," Vik offers as he looks over at Cilian with regret for him having to see his family's mill go up over this whole affair. "Sorry 'bout the mill, Cil."

Before the fire eats too far out of control, Cillian checks the dead orcs and gnoll on the east side of the mill for anything of value or interest.

Vik is right, let's get moving. I have the feeling that we'll keep having surprises like this wherever we go.

The group speeds back to town, it is all you can do to try and stay ahead of the fire. As you get to within a mile of town the land becomes greener as there are several creeks and ponds near town and you are certain that the wetter land will stop the fire from spreading any further, but you know dozens of acres are going to burn.

In the distance you see the flame and smoke and you know it won't be long until people start showing up.

Talon looks at everyone.

Get back to town, I will go and gather help. I will tell everyone I had found signs of suspicious activity and when i went to investigate I ran into a band of orcs and they started the fire.

No one else should know what we did tonight or what you have found.

Let the power of Thor heal you my friend

Viktor nods his understanding to Talon. "Minter, we should get you back to your place straight away. We gotta know everything you can tell us about that amulet now that it's activated!"

"Agreed. Let us make haste," says the normally quiet ranger. "Everyone, remain alert." he continues, his head on a swivel as he remains ever aware of his surroundings.

talon heads back to rashtan on the main road, while the rest of you take a more round about way.

By the time you reach town talon has already arrived and roused his deputies. There is some hustle and bustle on the street as people are gathering together.

Assuming all are in agreement, Cillian follows Minter back to his place so they can further examine the amulet.

Given the opportunity, Cillian will tell him what happened when he put the amulet on.

Thinking everyone needs to remain together, Scythius prepares to serve as an escort.

You all return to Minter's shop and he prepares tea as he listens to your experience with the amulet.

The amulet obviously has telepathy and is able to communicate through the bearers mind. This tells me it is intellegent.

My suspicion is as you wear it it will direct you to the nearest shrine it is tied to. Put the amulet on and tell us what it says.

Cillian shrugs, looks at everyone cautiously, and puts the amulet back over his head and around his neck.

"It's saying 'North... North...' in a raspy voice."

So we go South then, right? says Tub, smoothing his singed eyebrows.

wolfpack · #19 Post by **wolfpack** » Wed Jun 12, 2013 2:17 pm

North would be to your right. Turn to your right now.

wolfpack · #20 Post by **wolfpack** » Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:41 pm

When cillian turns to the right the voice stops.

Obviously the Amulet is intelligent and honed in on shrine locations. The only concern will be what else it is capable of. I will condcut furtehr research but that is going to take time.
