The SG will pause his tracking as requested.I'll stay down here and, uh, guard the tree? Greg remembers that centaurs don't climb well, but does not remember the actual mechanics of "not well". He used to mooch knowledge off a slightly senile wizard, but that ship seems to have sailed. Tell me if it is super awesome and I'll try to pull myself up slowly with my manly arms. (knowing that his horsey legs were not much help even when he had them)
Guess I'll get in on the perceiving of sounds 14 was the hubbub from up the tree?

Iradon does a nature check to determine the type of tree he was looking at 20
And then tries to perceive the hubbub 6
That kind of nature check is exactly the kind of thing that slows things down while I scour the book for tree types, then have to research the climates of Faerun, what trees thrive at your current latitude, then look for precedent for which of those species have appeared in previous canon works. Can't we just say "the kind with trunks"?
That out does my expectations. I was hoping for an answer saying the tree was the wooden variety. Maybe even that is was a tree would be enough for Iradon
The Black Knight had been enveloped by a vortex and ported to another time and place deep in the south along a river but awoke knowing the way back to the group, but unable currently to find them or keep up with their conversations. "I shall find you before the morrows sun sets!" he shouted into the ether and packed what he could to find the iron bird which would carry him back to the civilization he knows. There was so much he'd missed in the past days, the little time he had to make it to his current destination would not allow him to scroll back and understand all of the nuances of the great texts above but would, if needed somehow telepathically make contact with the heros on their qwest.
Safe Flight? I think? Or welcome back!
Yup. Nicely done 😀 sir DM! Get back tonight so trying to catch up.

Now that they're calling out, just hear. It's pitch black. Because you bastards broke the sun. I can't stress that enough. You're the villains. At this point I'm labouring the point so it's not a surprise when you're the BBEG of my other pirated thread. I don't know what BBEG stands for. But it's not "bro, best ever goodies" is it?
Burt pretends like he halted but keeps climbing. Ok! I've totally halted!stealth9
You rolled an 8 for Athletics. You think you're climbing??
Burt's spins around on the first rung of the ladder up, struggling against g-forces to raise a thigh and drag a foot to the second rung. This causes quite the clatter. From above you hear (but not see, it's really dark)
Greg has this urge to say Hey guys, remember when we [broke the cursed artifact / dabbled in dark magic / ignored the ancient dragon's dire warning]? Maybe that's why it's dark? Except he cannot think of anything to put in the square brackets. Faced with a world ruled by an entity too clever and subtle for him to pick up clues until too late, he prepares a javelin, tries to figure an angle in case the disembodied frat boy voices need skewering, and asks the sky in silent confusion Whada I do to deserve this?
Iradon can't communicate with the disembodied voices due to no sight so will just internally laugh at Burt's failure, while being glad that is is now eternally night as his evil plan worked

The answer you seek is in Post#326 - Starting with the text "No one tells me what to do"...
That out does my expectations. I was hoping for an answer saying the tree was the wooden variety. Maybe even that is was a tree would be enough for Iradon
They're Walnut! Walnut trees! The wood is a mix of Walnut, Cedar, Sycamore (Maple to you yanks) and wild cherry with the odd black pine, but this is a walnut tree. Damn I learned a lot about forestry in the last day. Did you know that trees are made of wood?
Hey Burt, are you carrying a torch? (Physically, I don't mean do you secretly love another party member)
Physically, mentally, emotionally, astrally, and anally, Burt carries 0 torches. He doesn't like his pallor in torch light. He's a lantern guy. But it wasn't in my starting equipment, and I have neglected to get one. So there.

Understood. Based on the load bearing capabilities of a fully grown walnut tree, your position on halting and the light given off by a torch carried in the party main, Iradon : When the guard sticks his head out of the doorway to ask "Dude, do you even halt?" you can indeed see his face on the very edge of your range of vision. (with approximately 3 feet to spare!)
Brah, I halt. I halt with the best of them. I'm possibly the best halter there is. That is to say, perhaps besides a halter top. But I haven't seen anything like that since that furry bra from the other campaign, and that really doesn't qualify, as I'm pretty sure it has straps, though the dm didn't really clarify that. I digress, however. I'm all for treehouses, how about lettin' me on up there?

The guard hears in his head, while Iradon is stood waving "Hey there, I'm the small guy waving next to the horse, up, up, little to the left, sorry my left your right, there. Hi, now I have your attention, I apologise for the intrusion of that guy on the ladder. What are you guarding up there?"
"But bro, it's your brain. If you try to answer, the answer will..... come..... out.... of..... your brain! And dude, your brain already told you it doesn't know!"
"Woah, you're right.... Wait does your brain know?"
"................
..........................
Oh no dude - my brain hasn't said anything to me for ages."
"No way - you think it's dead?"
(Sobbing a little) "Dude I don't want my brain to be dead."
"Hey man, I'm not your brain, just in your brain. I'm missing a tongue you see. This is the voice of the little waving guy I directed you to look at, if your friend wants to hear a voice in his brain he just has to stick his head down out of the tree house"
Hearing the (what I hope is) the dumber half of the conversation, Greg puts two and two together and comes up with a value higher than the guards' collective IQ. He sticks his fingers in his ears and his tongue out and thinks at Iradon Get them to come down. Tell them we can fix their brains, and the sun, and whatever. Say we need their help to fix the sun. Whatever.

"Dude, my brain says it's outside!"
"Wooooooah!"
"He says yours is too, Bro!"
"No way! Come on!"
In the darkness you see two burly gentlemen clamber over eachother getting out of the treehouse 47, in their haste forgetting about the ladder or indeed their height above the ground.

They land awkwardly, impaling themselves on their own swords which - you notice in the dim light - are vicious looking saw-toothed blades.

Greg will bring the torch over to minimize the dimness - though the world is already a little less dim with these two out of the average. The next generation owes Ira a debt for improving its gene pool. And then Greg will check them for valuables Investigation12
And what the hell, if either isn't all dead, stabilize if possible 11

As you begin to scale the tree, you hear from up in the tree house
"Told you bro, something's down there! Wake the Bev"
"No way bro, the Bev's sleeping."
"They said halt, bro. Guards say halt."
"So?"
"Dude, *we*'re guards"
"Woah!"
"I know, right?"
And then in a louder, clearer voice :
"Bro, we've halted. But you gotta halt too!"
There's the sound of a rummaging.

Both men have little of value. Little of anything - just loin cloths, knee high boots and shark tooth necklaces.

Both swords were damaged beyond use, unfortunately, which is a shame. As they were lethal-looking.
Your cruel attempts to revive the dead men are mercifully fruitless. So anyway, about that toddler...?
