Kazri casts Moonbeam a second time.   She then casts Scrying through the mirror and attempts to scry on Auril but she quickly realizes that the attempt has failed. 

"I doubt it would be easy to scry on a goddess even if they are not a powerful one. For now we should focus on finding that orb." Rekuberk says as he moves to join them.

(I guess that ain't happening...)

Kazri goes back to the chamber to deliver the bad news. “We had to try, Mr. Onc.“ Then she addresses everyone. "I am able to still cast Moonbeam one more time. Should we try to scry on Ms. Harpell, or should we get moving?”

You don't need to cast moonbeam again to try and scry Harpell.

You try but the spell fails. 

Kazri returns to the chamber after failing to scry on Vellynne. "Unfortunately, the spell also failed when trying to scry on Ms. Harpell." Kazri announces to her companions. "If we do not have another target, I would like to recommend that we return to town, and report our findings." Kazri pauses. "Now, the question is. Do we continue with our plan going north, or do we go east, to Caer-Dineval to find Huarwar?"

"Let's return to town and inform the Mayor that the moose will not bother them anymore." replies Krom before adding "and introduce her to the Awakened Shrub we have found here."

The dwarf pauses once again "As for our plan, I am for continuing going north to Revel’s End and speak with Vaelish Gant about Ythryn or the Codical, after delivering the goods to the Black Cabin." 

"Of that, I am strong agreement." The dragonborn chimes in alongside a firm nod. "Though it is very much tempting to turn back and east for Caer, Huawar is at least in a settlement, and... Mmgh... With 'others' that can assist him. So, he should be fine for a little longer at that. And we've already delayed long enough on dropping off these supplies." Rhogar adds with a tinge of guilt to his voice.

"I am full agreement as well.   I will find the shrub and we will take it back and let the mayor of Lonelywood  know their immediate danger has passed.   But the larger danger still looms and further north seems the best path the solve that issue."

Chill moves off to find the shrub and depending on how fast it can move will carry it in his pack if needed. 

He'll collect his immovable rod as well.

As they leave he looks longingly at the sarcophagus that is outside.  

"I wonder what treasures lie within that one?  I tried to open the lid while I was on watch yesterday but it was too heavy."

He'll then do his best to guide the group back through the forest to Lonelywood.

Survival 24

"That sarcophagus, or to be precise one of the pillars near it, was protected by a spell. I know an hymn that could remove it, unless the enchantment is not too strong." says Krom to Chill. "If there are items that could aid us in our fight, I think that their previous owner will allow us to use them, at least for a while."

"Do you know something about that sarcophagus?" asks the dwarf to the shrub "Did Ravisin placed the protection spell on that pillar?"

As the group walks back to Lonelywood Krom says to the group "We can return to the shrine later on our way to the Black Cabin if you wish to check that sarcophagus." the dwarf walks next to Kazri and Rekuberk and says to both of them "The bow and the quiver that we have found are very powerful and useful items. The bow is too big for Chill and neither me or Rhogar" the dwarf looks at the dragonborn for confirmation "are capable of use it. Since the both of you have trained with several type of weapons, you should be able to use them well. Let me know who of your would like to have those items."

Rekuberk stays alert on their trek back to the small village, not wanting to be caught unawares now that he was sure they had the attention of the Frost Maiden for killing her servants.

Perception: 17

While Gorrah only seems to snicker at the insinuation, Rhogar huffs and narrows his eyes back the dwarf. "Being capable and being proficient are two very different things, Master Krom." He said, a touch heated, but otherwise at least trying to stay respectful in tone. "Anyone can use a bow with sufficient motivation. But... I understand that you meant no offense, of course." Rhogar adds, mustering at least a small smile, before then looking to the rest as the group headed back, curious to see who'd take the challenge of the bow. Though seeing Rekuberk more concerned with keeping an eye out for outside threats, the Dragonborn promptly looked to Kazri.

“The bow is yours, Mr. Nimbatuul. Please keep it.” Kazri does not show interest in the ranged weapon.

As you pass by the outside sarcophagus the shrub answers Krom's question. "No, Ravisin did nothing with it, I have never seen it open so I don't know what is in it. As for the protection spell she said it was present when came across the place.  They seem to deter people from finding the tomb and must have been placed by the builders of the tomb.  At least that is what she thought.  It worked well enough to keep people away.  She thought perhaps the tomb was for a lost circle of moon druids."

Chill is able to easily find the correct direction to go and after a few hours of travel you reach the lane leading back into town and soon find yourself at the door of Nimsy Huddle.  The smell of freshly baked cookies reaches your noses as you get close.

She ushers you inside and offers you fresh cookies and a full meal as well.

Rhogar actually looks taken aback by the offer, which only serves to leave a shoulder roosting Gorrah smiling and hissing mockingly at the dragonborn. At least until he turns on her scowling, growling, and filling the air with the faint scent of ozone. This however did little to change the familiar's attitude, much to his ongoing chagrin. "I thank you for the, uh, offer, Lady Kazri. But, Master Krom did yet have a point, and I have my own means of dealing with foes from afar." He replied, turning back after an eventual huff of exasperation in Gorrah's direction.

"Two, in fact-..." He adds, side-eyeing the dragon again. "So, unless Rekuberk wishes to state his current stance, I believe Chill to be adaptable enough to managing the bow. If not, keep it we should still in the event we find an ally in our journeys in these lands that might make use of it. Or return it on our way back for the cabin, given its protections should keep people away." He'd say along the way.

When the group finally arrives back in town, and the moment Gorrah gets a whiff of the cookies, she flies off immediately and zips on inside, eager to stuff herself silly. Rhogar sighs and would offer an apologetic look to Nimsy as everyone made their way inside.

"I've never trained with a longbow. While I am sure I could use it, it would be better in the hands of Kazri. From what Krom said it takes a level attunement to this bow that I could not manage right now."

"Why would you not want it Kazri?  Not everything is going to be within reach of that sword. An option such as that bow would certainly be beneficial to the overall strength of our fellowship. That quiver would keep it out of the way until needed. You should really consider taking it."

After returning to town Chill introduces the shrub to Nimsy.

"A druid named Ravisin had awakened this shrub and treated it as a slave. It wishes a better life. It's a blueberry bush, you could use the berries for cookies. What do you say? It needs a new home."

(Sorry guys, I must have missed the memo. I thought that Rhogar could have used the bow, and was just being nice waiting for Kazri and Rek to pass on it. @Darth, does Rek wants the bow?)

"You have to forgive me Rhogar I didn't mean to offend you, in Dwarvish being capable and being proficient is the same thing." says an apologetic Krom as Rhogar makes his point.

As the shrub speaks about the sarcophagus, the dwarf says to the group "If that tomb was indeed a lost circle of moon druids, the items, if there are any, within the last sarcophagus may be beyond our use as none of us is a druid or has a very deep connection to the powers of the land." Krom turns towards Chill "If you wish to check it, just to be sure, we can open it on our way to the Black Cabin." The dwarf then, addressing Kazri and Rekuberk, points to the bow and quiver "If nobody of us, wish to use those, I would prefer to return them to tomb. But as Chill said, not all enemies will be within the reach of your swords or javelins, so I think that one of you should be able to find a good way to use them."

As the group returns to Lonelywood, Krom gladly accepts Nimsy's offer and immediately starts eating his meal. "This is delicious!" says the dwarf as he eats.

Nimsy claps her hands in delight of the shrub.  "Come, come, let me taste the berries."  The shrub scoots over to Nimsy and bends over for halfling to try the berries.

"Oh fantastic!" She exclaims.  "I have enough for everyone, even to fill the appetite of that baby dragon!"

She ushers you inside and sits you at the table.  The children quickly drag the shrub away to play, peppering it with questions and laughing with the talking shrub.

"So, the moose?  It is done, is the threat ended?" Nimsy asks after it quiets down.

As Nimsy asks her question, Krom stops eating for a moment and says, "Yes, we took care of the moose and of the follower of the Frostmaiden that was behind the attacks." the dwarf drinks some ale before continuing "Your village should be safe, for the moment, but keep your guard up in case more of Auril's followers should make their way here."
