Adventures in Fellneral

To support the others statement of helping out with the zombies Tom plays a few notes on his flute and sings again.

"They travelled through the Greilheid wood
a wicked wood of fear and dread
the Munchkin squad, a force of good
did clear it of the foul undead, yes did clear it of the foul undead."

Performance/Persuasion to get the child to accept the offered help: 17

 Gromedark sees no trouble, as the group is comforting it, Osborn, think he has figured out what the child is, a Firblog, half giant fey creatures, normally native to the Glitterdeep, and underground cave system leaking with fey magic. The firbolg settles down, and say, "Home in center grove, but zombies attack!"

"Can you show us the way? What is your name anyway? I'm Ghathi." 

He then looks to the others in the group. "Not sure where this grove is...  was that one of the places we needed to go to look for that druid? Sounds like a good place for one."

Orin is the last to join the group, sleepy eyed until he hears the word zombies. His eyes immediately perk up and is now listening much more closely now. 

"I think the center grove is the one we cleared.  It seems our young lad here is a firbolg, I can't recall if any of the, er, erm..."

Osborn trails off, unsure how to discuss the unspoken question without upsetting the boy.

Ghathi looks at Osborn. "So you might know where this place is?"  He hesitates, glancing at the boy a moment before asking, "Should we go there?"

Tom follows along, playing his flute and trying to comfort the firbolg child with a new verse

"They found a lonely firbolg child 
abandoned in a dusky glade
they searched his parents in the wild
the firbolg child they happy made, yes the firbolg child they happy made."

Perception to notice the walking dead:10

Osborn tries to smile at Ghathi's question but it comes out as a grimace - he is relieved when Gromedark answers it more diplomatically than he could have managed. "Yes, they'll be at the other groves.  We were heading for the north east grove now, maybe we'll find them there"

The halfling trots after the bugbear into the forest.

Ghathi watches as the others head off, then looks back to the child. "Well, I guess you should come with us? We'll see if we can find someone from your family." 

He too moves to follow the path Gromedark took, but keeps an eye on the firbolg child to see what he does. 

Osborn tries to keep an eye on the forest around them as they travel, knowing there are dark things lurking here.

Perception 14 

The child points the place out on the map, and you all begin walking there. You reach the middle henge, this place is much larger then the other henge, with living tent pitch all around it, smell of death is even stronger that anywhere else in this forest, you seen an old human man with the same blue robes  and a knotted wooden cane fighting of two ghouls, if you want to enter combat, roll initiative

"Oh dear, the foul undead." Tom says and plays a new tune.

The halfling gestures to the firbolg boy to get behind them "This could get nasty son, just cover your eyes and we'll tell you when it's over"

Osborn summons some borrowed power through the blood red crystal at his neck and fires a blast of arcane energy at Ghoul 1.
