Brunella is glad to be away from the burning death lake, and onto something more practical that she can understand and fight, like Golems. 

The night passes almost uneventfully, although the big feathered tyrannosaurs rex makes himself heard all the way up to the party's rest spot.

A new day greets the adventures, sunny and very, very warm.

Seeing Getrude up for the last watch "Why are you up it's usually Musharib that takes the last watch..."

"Well, I had the feeling that you maybe wanted to talk. And Mushy, you know, is more the quiet type. You have seemed tense in the last couple of days. More than usually so. Are you coping alright?"

"Just tired of all the bullshit. Red wizards, Undead  crazy puzzles, all of it I just want to go back to waterdeep... Anyway the sun is rising let wake the others."

Kurma wakes up and prepares some breakfast with some fruits and dry meat. He will have to spend a bit of time fishing soon, it has been some times since he had a good fresh fish.
After morning  talks and preparation of the gear, Kurma says:

"Well, let's head now for the golems. We know what to expect now. From what I remember we can have 3 strong warriors in the pit, the support team that can heal, blast magic or have range weapon should stay on top of the grid. What do you think ?"

Artus: "It sounds a solid plan, Master Kurma. I truly hope the Red Wizard did not get the cube first."

Gertrude gives Felix a quick and awkward hug. "I enjoy having you here. Even though we don't talk much. Now lets go and kill some golems." She slaps him on his back and strides away towards the tree bridge. 

Before getting there, she slows down, looking back at Felix again: "Do you want to scout ahead? Also, Brunella, can you see anything on the other side of the river? Your eyes seem to be so much better than the rest of ours!" 

As everybody gets ready, Kurma meditates and grants water walk to the group. "This might help us to cross the river quicker"

Oniss walks atop the river and feels pretty good with himself.  He is impressed with Kurma's magic.

OOC Very good. Everyone roll Initiative and state your position in respect to the fallen tree.

Kurma initiative: 8
position - since Kurma is not very Dexterous, I'd say he was about to cross the river by foot and not trying to walk on the tree

Gertrude laughs at Oniss strutting out onto the river. Here, the current is stronger, and the water, though solid to walk on, still moves up and down. Gertrude forgets the dangers and follows Oniss out onto the river north of the fallen tree. For a moment she closes her eyes and remembers the ice skating of her youth. But then the scorching heat brings her back to reality. This place really was nothing like home. 

Will I ever see the Spine of the World again? 

Gertrude initiative: 15

Felix is along the tree.

Initiative: 10

Bag of Nails: 13

Artus: 22, Dragonbait: 11, Musharib: 21, Inete: 2

Quote from Tiomila >>

Before getting there, she slows down, looking back at Felix again: "Do you want to scout ahead? Also, Brunella, can you see anything on the other side of the river? Your eyes seem to be so much better than the rest of ours!"  

 
Brunella nods, looking ahead, using her eagle sight to spy for anything, even a minor detail, across the river.

Brunella is on the other side of the tree as Felix.

Initiative 3

A moment of silence, a flying arrow is shot at Oniss...
Attack: 20 Damage: 23 + Oniss must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 25 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

For a brief moment, the party members can see a feline humanoid on top of a small building on the other side of the river.
