Ylis follows Joy's lead and Create Bonfire to help get rid of the corpse.

The radiant holy water splashes the creature and the smoke retreats from the body, revealing tissue that burns away, seriously damaging the corpse. Then the bonfire plops down on the corpse and does the rest of the work. There is a foul smell for a good long while until the last remains of the creature burns and then evaporates, but after several minutes of funk, the remains disappear entirely. All that remain are arrow shafts that feed the fire and arrowheads that can be retrieved once the fire goes out. 

Are the arrow heads standard or distinctive? 

DM: Standard, but good quality. 

Merek crinkles his nose at the strench, sitting in a squat with his hood up. "Hmm, I know I've smelled worse things before, but I can't remember them just now." he says, pensively. "Say, how much of that Holy Water do you have, and can you make more? I expect we'll need a decent amount of any more of these little beasts are skulking nearby." he asks Joy.

"If I recall correctly, they like dark places. Underground, caves, forests, that kind of thing. I suppose we'll be headed near enough or through all three before journeys end."

Ylis uses a fold of her cloak to cover her nose as she poke through the ashes and teases out the arrow heads. Waste not want not.

Considering the number of arrows and the signs of burning, these things are pretty tough. She will have to keep her ears perked and her spear sharp.

DM: Ylis can add 15 undamaged steel arrowheads to her inventory. 

Anything else you all plan to do here?

" If your all finished messing about with the dead thing we should really think about establishing camp before we lose the light."Randa ventures pointing toward the treeline.

" Ylis? What did you see there? A light of sorts?", 

Joy gives Merek a nod followed by a slightly embarrassed expression. "I don't have any more at the moment, but I can bless some if we come across enough powdered silver. Until then my smites will have to do...that's probably the more effective method for living versions of these anyway." She grimaces at the thought.

"Uh...Right," the paladin agrees, noticing Randa doesn't seem to be in the mood for theorizing. She will assist with setting up camp however she is able.

Ylis points to where she sees the blue shiny.

"It's over there." Then she lights up her stick with well, Light and starts to drive the wagon towards it. "Come on Rumble, great stories await!"

Randa’s keen observation is Ylis’ reward. While the others begin to set up camp, Ylis casts the Light spell, which immediately causes the blue sparkle to light up again. As Randa and Ylis approach the reflected light, they find that it is a silver ring with a sapphire stone. A small bit of blood can be found on the ring and spattered in the area. The grass here has been trampled flat with grooves dug into the land around the area. There was a tussle here. Finally, a person’s tracks lead into the forest.

Ylis tsks, and puts her hand on her hips while looking into the forest, "Following tracks in the dark?"

As far as she can tell that never works out well.

"Hey Randa, you know anything about jewelry?" she picks it up with a stick, and hands it over. It had blood on it, gross. "Or tracks? What kind of thing ate another thing and went into the forest to sleep it off?"

" Very little I'm afraid.", Randa quipped.

" But there could be someone wounded in there if the ring belonged to them...."

" I have no real trouble following tracks in the dark.....though a number of us aren't as gifted in that regard......maybe I'll just go a little way while you mob set up camp.  Be a shame to let someone bleed to death only a scant distance from our camp."

Survival- 10

"Hello?" Ylis asks the trees.

"HELLO!" raising her voice.

HELLOOOOOOO!" she shouts at the top of her lungs.

"We can help you! Come on out!"

"Unless you're one of those creepy smoke thingies, then you can just stay in there," she mumbles.

The two engage in a bit of derring-do and make their way into the trees, following the footprints into the dense trees. Some tangles of trees get a bit tight, but for the tiny Ylis and the lean Randa of wood elf lineage, they easily navigate the web of forest. The trail of footprints and occasional blood stops suddenly, about 40ft into the forest. It is as if the person who left them flew away. At this distance, the trees make it impossible for the two to see the camp. Rumble can be heard in the distance throwing a fit that he cannot get even past the first trees to follow Ylis, his form is so large. 

Randa turned to Ylis, " We head back.  They were either snatched up by something or flew away under their own power......either way we can't help them now. Lets go back, your boyfriend is getting anxious.", she teased.

Randa and Ylis return to camp to find Rumble pacing the edge of the forest impatiently, Dermot breaking out his paints to fix the flower emblazoned on the breast of Maggie’s leather armor, and Entropy is performing her kata with her sword. Ayo is helping to gather wood for the fire when she sees Randa.

“Hey, should we do any hunting or are we wanting to dig into rations?” She asks.

Dermot looks up from his paints. “I cook. Pretty good too. If you catch something, I can make a stew with what I brought with me. Maybe a roast if we want to save our rations.”

Entropy swings at the air, grunting with enthusiasm. Maggie is sitting quietly by the fire, reading a book. Hee and Haw are having some kind of contest of flatulence and it is hard to say who is winning, but they seem to be enjoying the battle of blasting, as each eruption gets a pleased whinny. Galsariad watches Merek keenly as he sits beside Maggie, while Irvan lies on the ground throwing a dagger straight up into the air, catching it as it falls back toward him.

Ylis scratches her eyebrow then shrugs, "I'm no good at catching things, but I can makes these," clapping her hands over her pouch a shower of fat, red strawberries tumble into it.

Goodberry twice

She passes the pouch around after taking one for Rumble and one for herself. She wanders over to the horse and says, "Here you go buddy!" feeding him the berry. 

"This reminds me of a story about a greedy crow that had robbed a farmer of his biggest juiciest starberry. While flying away with his prize the crow saw another crow with a big berry in its beak, swimming in a lake. The crow already had a starberry but wanted another one too! He decided to dive down and take the berry from the other bird.

Upon landing and looking into the lake, the crow saw the lake crow. It was mocking him with a big juicy berry in its mouth! "Hey!" he shouted and his berry fell into the water. The crow got closer to the water and...

*WHOMP!* A giant quipper ate him!"

Randa met Ayos eyes with a slight shake of her head.

" Rations and.....", off of Ylis conjuration. " .....summoned should be the order of the night......I don't think anyone should go under the trees tonight."

She moved over next to Ayo, collecting wood beside her and said quietly, " I don't think I have properly thanked you.  It seems you were the one who delivered me from the jaws of death."

Merek takes a place by the camp fire, shooting small fire bolts at any kindling that manages to otherwise avoid the flames. The collection of people here are truly a sight to behold, he thinks to himself. So many different people, different goals, brought together by what appears to be chance. He notices Galsariad's gaze and beckons him over, waving his hand and smiling warmly. 

Beginning his Find Familiar spell as a ritual, he entreats him. "Come, pull up a seat and speak your mind. I won't have the only other arcanist in the group be a stranger to me. I've got a bit of time while I summon my friend to us. Tell me what you make of this situation, and that strange creature we passed on the road."
