Hunting Psurlon Murderers

[DM Bob]

The rest of the party folds to the position Quila last saw Azeth's argosy. The wind cuts from the north and east, kicking the hint of silt to the otherwise sandy air. Off to the far south, you can make out the distant bulk of the large wagon as it lumbers further into the horizon.

The magical tracks lead almost due east. While you're not 100% certain, that might put you looking directly towards Fort Holz, the last outpost before Eldaarich, a City-State that once entered, few have ever returned from. It's ruler's paranoia is fabled even among the other Sorcerer Monarchs and only begrudgingly trades with Kurn. This always happens outside of it's prison-like walls.

[Attilius]

"Lead da way..." the gladiator gives a toothy grin
"I'm just a happy normal elf."

[AthasianLaborer]

Muiko looks at Attilius "Well, it would seem you've acclimated to the elf much more quickly than I did to the half-giant.  I gladly welcome you as a tribemate, though if this silty wind is to become common I will miss the [Elven: windbreak]!" Muiko then looks around at the party before looking towards the east "Akos won't avenge himself" he says as he starts walking east.

With his customary agreement grunt, the gladiator adds "Just memba to put me back in ma own body once the magik and arrows start flyin' so i's can git ta work on dat worm guy."

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila will start following the footsteps of the quarry with due haste.
She will try out intermittent attempts at Environment every half hour on the murderer's medallion to get a glimpse of the current whereabouts.

(OOC: Rolled several times for each half hour, use as applicable. 7, 6, 14, 8, 20, 11. All are successes, except for the 20 which will get me a glimpse from another similar medallion again.)

[DM Bob]

The bearer of the amulet is bounding through similar terrain as that you currently walk. Faster than you'd expect, you feel that the wearer is running on all fours or mores instead of two feet. A glimpse of greenish fur reminds you of a kirre at full run. The position of the sun makes you believe it is indeed travelling due east.

- "Unless the psurlon can shapeshift to be faster, it makes no sense why we started chasing one of them and now the tracks are from another creature.. That would be an interesting way of going away and let the tracks fade off.." - talking to self but for everyone to listen, like muttering

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"This ain't no psurlon. If Akos' last views of the murderer are correct, he was an elf, did you not say so yourself Skrye?" Quila asks of her furry friend.

To the group she says, "The killer is shapechanged to be a kirre or other beast putting in great speeds further eastward. The terrain looks quite a like so he isn't that far off. Somewhere between here and Fort Holz, but he'd have to go through the village of Silt Side too to get onto the Dim Islands leading to Eldaarich. We want to catch him before he gets there."

Looking to 'Muiko, Quila adds, "I have an idea. Can you Hold a shapechanged psion in monster form?"

[AthasianLaborer]

Muiko stares quizzically at Quila's question for a moment before responding "Yes.  It shouldn't be much trouble, say some words to Oronis if you like to enhance our chances of success.  How will we get close?  Should we fold our group into his path?"

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

“I can teleport myself and you there. It’s risky, especially if the casting goes wrong. Can you make us Invisible first if we would take that route?”

[AthasianLaborer]

"Are you not feeling well?" Muiko says with a crinkled brow. "Of course I can render us unseen but are you sure it is wiser for us to go alone?  If there is no other option, I guess we have no choice"

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

“Or wait. I can use Oronis’ powers to Fold the whole group in the path of the murderer. For that we would need to coordinate matters. I can scry and calculate where to fold to, and Skrye can assist in ascertaining the optimal Moment for us to fold. How does that sound? We would be complete as group and have the element of surprise.”

[AthasianLaborer]

Muiko wags a finger in Quila's direction "I think that's a much better idea you've come up with!" Muiko looks around at the party while saying "What do the rest of you think?"

[Attilius]

Another high pitch grunt of approval resounds from the muscled elf. "Give me back ma body den. Time ta go to work..." He says with a toothy smile.

[DM Bob]

Dispelling the goliath's spell is simple as Attilius takes full height once more.

Riddle me this. How far from your target and from what direction do you wish to open said folding?

And who exactly will be invisible? Party order is also a good idea to have. Attilius enters solo, but the rest of you can be two by two.

I will like a pre-roll for aging too, as that can affect how you feel upon arrival. Heck, I could go for a pre-roll right now.
