Katrina looks around, and for once she isn't smiling. It's the most withdrawn and fearful she has been for the whole trip, even couunting the wolf attack. "... I think I recognize this place. I haven't been here myself, but... my parents and their friends talked about it all the time. This... might be the Feywilds. Or, at least a part of it. We should be careful. Places like these are no good for outsiders." She draws closer to the group, wishing she hadn't used one of her spell slots on Detect Poison and Disease. She might need them to defend herself later.
Reverie listens to Katrina's words and starts to have the same question as Froskan asks. How did they end up in the Feywilds? Then she looks at Jupiter, curiously and then frowns ever so slightly. "Something is wrong?"

"The crap is a feywild?" Jack starts to think with a confused look on his face. Is he the only one who doesn't know what the feywilds are? He nudges there's and whispers to him, hoping not to draw attention. "Whats the feywilds?"
Theren is like the others, confused and a bit fearful at these pronouncements.
"I don't know what the Feywild is, and I've only heard dark rumors of fiends. But they always sounded a world away, I didn't think anything like that could be so close to home for us." he says, trying not to seem as fearful as he felt. "But I think we have some pretty sturdy people in this group. I think if we stand together, there isn't much we can't overcome. We should at least find out what it is and report back to the others at the caravan. But I think we're safest if we stick together. This place seems to be filled with bogs and traps, and none of us want to take any chances."

Jupiter sits up and looks at Reverie, with a worried look in his eyes.
"The Feywild is dangerous. We probably should find another way. And if we do have to cross, we better find another route. Bringing caravans through this is a bad idea."
(OOC: It has been almost a day since Jack suggested in post #119 to march loudly and proudly to the light. How do you want to proceed?)

(Works for me. Though it wasn't quite loud and proud right to the light. It was straight ahead a bit to the side of the light, then when we're even with it turn and go to it :P)
Reverie frowns ever so slightly as she listens to Jupiter’s opinion. If the Feywild is giving this fear and evil presence, then indeed it would be dangerous for caravans. “We must proceed our scouting in this part of feywild, and find what causes this traps and resolve the problem. We will find a safer route for the caravans.”

(Hmmm... Is this to the left, and then straight down? Because that will require going through the trees and thick vegetation that are 30' up from the star on the map, which is rough terrain.
Or is this diagonal down-left to the partial clearing, and then directly left, which is the path clear of dense plant growth?
And by "loud and proud", asking if there are any other actions the group wants to do, considering the all the traps you've come across so far.)

(Would I be able to tell from the runes whether that kind of trap was something I could detect ahead of time? Runes visible in the dirt, things like that)
(Sorry, I saw the comment, but missed the question.
Trap runes can be noticed ahead of time. In this particular case, only the first 2 people in line could have noticed them before they triggered. It was hidden better than their passive perceptions. In situations where I’m told characters are looking for something, in the right place, a perception roll is made which might give a higher number.)

Froskan points back to the trap they passed."See those runes in the dirt? That's what triggered the trap. We should be able to see them before we trigger anymore if we keep an eye out."
oh, and you guys won't like it probably so just pre-rolling persuasion here: 14
(Other than situations like trying to Insight-check if another character is lying, you don't normally roll to manipulate other PCs. No roll will make them putty in your hands, if the players don't go along with it.
And I put limits on NPCs/monsters too. If you try to Persuade Tiamat to be your slave, a natural 20 will mean that she laughs at your audacious joke, instead of instantly crushing you for your impudence.)

Now, Reverie gazes at the runes that Froskan pointed. "What could we do when we found a rune ahead? Is there a way to avoid them?"

"How did we end up in the Feywilds?" Froskan asks. "Or alternatively, how did a part of the Feywilds end up in our world..."
Jupiter kneels down and looks around. Suddenly everything is alien to him.
