It seemed to be a natural rock ridge. Then we looked at the pink flowers. They were actually the same species as the blue ones, just growing in more alkaline soil.

We flew over some parties of church knights heading into town, looking a bit battered. At the gate we were told to go to the Inn. We were expected. We also noticed a large healer's hall, and a surprising amount of artwork. There seemed to be quite a lot of town guards, most of whom were middle-aged or older. We spent the night in the Inn. <br></div></td></tr>

Alderan said that he could smell smoke, rotting meat, goblin and sulphur. As we approached it became apparent that the steam was coming from hot springs on either side of the stream.

Alderan said that he could smell smoke, rotting meat, goblin and sulphur. As we approached it became apparent that the steam was coming from hot springs on either side of the stream. Closer and we could see there was a dam. Not a very well made dam. Not a beaver dam. Maybe <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">natural... </ins>maybe goblins.

After an hour we came to a fork in the path. To the right there were lightly-laden goblin footprints, but straight ahead heavily-laden goblins and wolves. So we followed the wolves. After two hours we heard distant howling, which soon grew louder. We settled into the forest, and waited. There was a cat-like cry mixed in with the voices of the wolves. First down the path came a leopard, followed by four wolves. The cat ran on down the trail as the wolves went on the attack, running in, biting and running away in a most un-wolf-like manner. They seemed able to move quite freely through the forest that was almost impenetrable to us. Alderan cast lightning bolts at them. Soon, as I moved forward, I could make out a bigger wolf on the edge of the mist that was casting spells.

Parts of this mist JC could not see through, and they proved to be magical, the nature of the magic being “mistâ€. Kerry did not think it would be harmful. Wolves howled in the distance, in the denser forest. Aside from this and the other sounds of the forest, the night passed uneventfully. <br></ins></div></td></tr>

By this stage, it had become more obvious and well-travelled, very like a game trail, except for diversions around the streams. After a two hours we could make out light among the trees, perhaps a clearing, half a mile ahead. We sent JC and Kerry ahead to scout. What they found was a charcoal-burners camp, manned by orcs. <br></ins></div></td></tr>

But as soon as they spotted her, the orcs ran into one of the buildings. Then a couple of arrows came her way, but missed. JC stepped back into the forest. There was movement in the buildings. Shortly, a wall of blocks appeared, followed by others. These were “walls of cindersâ€. We decided to ignore the orcs, scout around, and look for the wolf trail. Which we did. It wasn’t hard; the trail was deeper, and there were more goblin tracks. <br></ins></div></td></tr>

Our sense of direction failed completely. There was mist everywhere, much of it magical. We could see no more than 25ft feet. Then, in front of us, there was a solid thorn wall. It was ritual magic, defensive and damaging, named “barrier of thornsâ€, and it had been here for years. The only way through would be to force one’s way through. I carried out a divination on it. It had been renewed by a blood sacrifice about three weeks ago. It could be opened by a password consisting of a fetish and a phrase. There was eight weeks duration remaining. It would resist damage, and regenerate over time. But there was no alarm. So I came to the obvious conclusion that we could just chop our way through, with our magical axes. Much less dangerous than trying to fly over. But it was tiring.<br></ins></div></td></tr>
