Ssej, in the lead of the group, finds a campsite for the night. You are on the High Road, heading South from Waterdeep. Forest lays to the East, while the expanse of the Sea of Swords lays to the West. The site Ssej finds is a previously-used site, with a campfire circle already dug, and with half-burned logs still in it. The logs are a few days old, and you would think this is a commonly used site for those traveling the road. A stream is not far off, in the woods, emptying into the Sea of Swords some distance to the south. A walking path leads from the camp to the stream, showing that it is fairly close by and a likely source of fresh water for those who camp here.
This night is uneventful. Please feel free to RP as you wish though. Let me know when you are ready to move forward.
As he descends from the sky, Kerah in his Giant Eagle form flaps a few times close to the ground, the wings becoming less of a wing and more of a Goliath's hand with each flap, until they can no longer keep him aloft and he drops the last few centimetres, landing as his Goliath self. "So, what have you all been doing while I was up there? Anything to break the ice while I don't keep it frozen?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
( History on Took Ironhide, if Losman (or the DM if he knows the story, of course) cares to share any more, depending on Aio's roll. If nothing else just curious if Aio has heard of him. 16 )
When Ichika speaks her sincerity disarms Aio of his playfulness and sarcasm. "It is a fine weapon" he says about her polearm. "It shows good thought, and discipline, which I can appreciate." With mention of reclaiming the elven cities and forests he replies "and yours defend your lands as well." Before riding to the front again he adds "I look forward to joining you in battle, Ichika, and perhaps some sparring first."
When Kerah lands Aio replies "learning to catch rodents with our teeth"with a grin.
After camp is set up Aio declares "if we are to fight together, we must know one another as warriors." "Anyone care to test themselves?" The elf smiles and taps his fingers along the hilt of his shining sword.
Senna will lead the horses to the stream in the woods and will make sure they are fed with help from others since there are many horses.
With Kerah's question she responds A bit of singing from Brock and stories of the past. As they eat around the campfire Senna looks back on their travels and sees so many different people. Aio's words linger in her head. The group would need to work together, specially against the powerfull foes they are likely to encounter. She looks up to the others and speaks up Aio was right, we will have to learn to work together. I dont know about all of you, but ive experienced the difference of preparation. For better and worse.
She pauzes a moment unsure about revealing to much to her companions. I was born with the ability to wield magic. In the Order i learned to use it to aid my allies. Guiding their sword to a target or enhancing their abilities. But i also know how to injure or disable my enemies. I prefer to have others keep the enemy at bay while i cast spells.
"I've seen this much from above," Kerah remarks, eyeing Ssej.
When Aio offers the group should duel, Kerah doesn't respond, but waits to see whether the others do. It should be at least interesting to see what they're capable of. He trusted Auril's judgement, but didn't trust the other gods as much. All the younger gods whose powers were not of the natural world... are their champions worth as much?
"Oh that's nice lass, good to see another magic user in the game. We should be great friends, " says Brock. Standing up Brock walks towards Aio a faint shimmering encases his form. "Sure I'll go a round with you first one to be knock out or can't move wins sound alright with you," he asks shield on one arm, staff in the other.

Ichika glances up ahead, seeing the back of the slender elf and the sleek white horse that rides before her once more, she smiles to herself as she guides her horse along. It was rare to hear the elven warrior’s kind words, and being acknowledged did help her feel a lot better. “I look forward to it too.” She says. The elf’s back unswaying, hard to tell if he heard her or not.
As the party finds place for the night, Ichika helps Senna lead the horses and feed them by the stream. She brushes the mane of her horse clean with water, then make sure all the horses are secured safely out of sight. She gets back to the camp and sees Brock accepting Aio’s challenge. It was nice for them to start without her. Though her discipline teaches her to show proper courtesy and let others to go before her. Still, she couldn’t help with her anticipation to see the duel unfold as she goes and finds a seat by the campfire for herself.
Valor sees to his horse then sets his part of the camp. Watching the interactions for only enough to eat he will stand and say "I will take first watch." and stride off a few paces forward of the camp and find a place to take a seat. Valor will serve his turn at the watch then sleep.
Ssej listens to the banter among the group mainly ignoring most of it as he sets up his "bed" for the night.
Once done he does move to get a good look at the sparring between Aio and Brock so he can ascertain the combat prowess of the two. If it gets two boring he might make things interesting.

When Brock names his father, Aio is once again amused. "Your father is Tork Ironhide? Ha, what a coincidence, Sera is mine!"
Later, Aio grins when Brock names his terms. "Can't move? Interesting choice of terms. You are either more of a fool than I had hoped given what we face, or you have a very powerful binding spell at the ready and will make a fool of me instead. I'll have my silver back when it fails to be the latter."
With a grin and a hand lightly on his still sheathed swords, Aio stands casually, waiting for Brock to flinch. When Brock first puts up a shimmering shield, Aio nods in appreciation of the magic. "Excellent, this I'm glad to see. You looked a bit fragile otherwise."
Initiative: 11How many feet from Aio would Brock like to start?
(So as not to hold things up, I'm going to assume Brock is trying to fulfill his 'can't move' win condition. Combined with the 29 Arcana nat 20, I'm guessing Aio would notice when trying to move about even just a little bit.)
Aio grins and quickly disappears in a cloud of silvery mist. (Misty Step) He appears right behind Brock and draws his shining elven sword, trying to slap the dwarf in the head with the side of the weapon once. He then attacks with Booming Blade to trap the dwarf in a cocoon of thunderous energy before swiftly bouncing backwards, light on his feet, to a distance of 40 feet from Brock, grinning at the dwarf all the while.
(No attack of opportunity from Mobile feat.)
Sword attack: 14 Damage: 12
BB attack: 28 Damage: 14 plus 2 thunder Thunder damage if Brock moves: 8
You would likely sense that no wind is blowing against your skin and, intuiting from that, that you were in some area of magic. Misty step seems prudent. Back to the dwarf...

Aio grins even wider and waves a single index finger at Brock. "Quite the bag of tricks, this dwarf" says the elf to any onlookers. "If you insist..."
Aio casts Haste and charges Brock in a flash. He attempts two slashes with his sword and keeps moving, turning to face the dwarf again when he is 40ft on the far side of him.

Initiative: 11 How many feet from Aio would Brock like to start?
(Brock will give him 15 ft difference.)
"You can't be Sera's kin. You aren't snarky enough. Also, there is a reason we are called Ironhide," replies Brock
Initiative: 17

(Straight up this is a wizard's duel, so we may be retconning alot of this fight.)
You don't see Brock move at all, there is no sign of movement, not a signal word leaves his mouth.
Subtle spell Wall of force putting a dome right over Aio.
Dormark Calling of Strahd (warforged cleric) 4
Aio, looks like your move. You are inside a dome made by wall of force
(Haha, that's great. So my question is, does Aio know the wall is there at all? Arcana: 29 )
(So as not to hold things up, I'm going to assume Brock is trying to fulfill his 'can't move' win condition. Combined with the 29 Arcana nat 20, I'm guessing Aio would notice when trying to move about even just a little bit.)

(Quick post since it is a reaction counterspell at 3rd level on the misty step.)
Dormark Calling of Strahd (warforged cleric) 4
(Ignore the counterspell, I misunderstood how it worked.)
Brock blocks the first hit and takes the other hit. Brock moves forward taking the extra damage from the thunder.
“Can’t break the rules can I,” he says.
Again you don’t see Brock do anything, but Aio begins to feel a weird feeling in his gut. Make a constitution saving throw against sutble Levitate
