Dace returned, coming back to the group at a jog, arriving - unknowingly - after the familiar had returned.
"Couldn't see any guards, but something doesn't feel right about the place. Can't put my finger on it though. You'd need to see it."
He looked the groupd over again. "Ready?"

Nimen looks at Cathmhaol,
"How do you want to do this?"
Upon hearing his answer she notches an arrow in her bow and follows on.

Zeric shrugged, in answer to Dace's query, "As I'll ever be, I suppose. I've left her watching the entrance. She'll let us know of any surprises before they surprise us... Well boss, what's the plan?"

Zeric drew in a sharp breath. He held a hand up for attention, "There's a foul brand of magic at work out there in that cave. The vegetation around the place is withered - and it's magic that's the cause, or I'm no sorceror. Let's make haste and see what ails the land... but I advise you all to be on your guard, for it may be a much more powerful brand of sorcery than I can combat!"

Vane nodded at the sorcerors, concern.
"Seen somethin' like that at one of Kelemvor's shrines. The shrine was t' Myrkul for hundreds of years and the land was soured aroun' it. T'will take years of Kelemvor's power t' put right. If there's foul magic like that here, we need to be extra careful."

Nimen seemed concerned by the talk of foul magic.
"Being an experienced adventurer you get used to this kind of thing. Lets just get on with it!"

"I was about to say the same. The vegetation... It's horrible. It feels all wrong somehow." |

"Aye well, there's only one way t' find out what's goin' on an' that's t' go take a look," said Cathmhaol.
"Dace, Vane - you're wi' me," he continued, "An' I want Zeric an' Nimen givin' us coverin' fire so get yersel's somewhere ye's can see what's goin' on. If we ha' t' leave in a hurry, ye'll need t' slow down whatever's tryin' t' bite us on the arse!"
"Got that? Good, let's go," he said and he stepped out of cover and lead the way up the hill.

Zeric nodded to acknowledge Cathmhaol's plan, "I'll do what I can, Boss... I'd like to find out what it is that's causing such an anomaly, but if your arse is in danger of being rended by a big nasty, then 'covering fire' it is!"

Dace nodded. "Want me to go on point and get us as close as I can without being seen?" |

Date : Ches the 7th, Year of the the Rogue Dragons (1373 D.R.)
Location :The Misty Forest
Time : nighttime
Weather: Clear and cold with a few clouds. The stars can be seen in the dark indigo sky
The forest is dark and twisted at this time of night. Frightening shadows are cast on the forest floor, shapes of monsters, ghouls and phantoms. The moonlight playing tricks with your mind. The closer you get to the entrance of the cave the more twisted and corrupt the vegetation gets. Branches and vines head off at obtuse and unnatural angles, looking like some magical brier patch that only occurs in a children's fable.
Approaching the cave at point is Dace, followed by Cathmhaol and Vane. Covering them at the rear was Nimen and Zeric. Entering the cave, Dace sees nothing of danger and beckons the others in.
The inside of the cave is just that; a semi circle of damp rock carved by the action of water no more than 10 feet or so in diameter. It would protect you from the cold outside, but that is all. Its walls are covered in a green coloured slime, but is essentially dry and away from the cold northern wind.

Turning in the doorway, Dace shrugged at Cathmhaol and then continued looking around carefully, in case he'd missed something.

Vane looked around the cave and began tapping the walls with his hammer. Turning back to the group, he announces
"Looks solid enough t' me. So whats the score 'ere?"

Zeric shrugged, "I know not. I do have feeling that all is not as it seems. We should search for concealed entrances."

OOC- Im assuming your using a lantern, as its dark to see (as no one has yet mentioned using one given the time of day)
Im assuming that Zeric has searched is anyone else helping him?
