"indeed. should we find more on the way back, however......we should interrogate them...."

Trinjya would have stopped playing her flute when the others return with Frankie. She does not leave the bagpack with the mace out of sight, but look over the throne otself and frog bodies that are close by to see if there are some hidden valuables around.

Investigation: 15

Morn warily looks around the camp while the others begin to relax and talk of the next leg of their journey. He peers into the distance, trying to see any movement (Perception: 9). "The king is circling back around. We should be careful, my friends. They could be planning a counterattack. The king is to the south," he points in the direction that he senses the king.

Trinjya, the servant types don't have much on them, but one of the guards to the king has a pretty nice ceremonial looking dagger thrust through a sash at his waist. The throne doesn't seem to have any hidden valuables, but you do find a bowl of grubs and a half bottle of some sort of liquid.

((I'd like an Insight check from both Morn and Trin, please!))

Insight check for Trinjya: 11

((Speaking of daggers,  Trinjya would retrieve hers before they move on.))

((Yep, absolutely.))

((If this does not collide with whatever that insight check is for))

And since Trinjya knows the frogpeople had found at least one magic weapon, she would start ritual casting detect magic hoping there still is enough time before leaving the camp to see if there is something the group missed.

Morn's Insight: 4

Morn, as Trinjya starts playing an intricate song that seems to have her attention, you notice the king's presence drawing closer and closer. He's maybe 30 ft away in the water, but remaining out of sight.

"Heads up everyone!" Morn calls out, his hand frosting over, "The king is just south of us! About 30 feet." He then moves to stand in front of Frankie to protect him.

Your sense of him darts away to the south, circling to the east.

"He continues to circle," Morn says, now a little quieter as he would have everyone's attention, "He heads around to the east. Horatio, can your familiar lend some perspective from above again? It seems the king is not happy to let us leave even though we've injured him already."

"Gandalon, to the Skies!"

Gandalon's shadow gains altitude. Perception: 10

"come creature........I have such words to speak with you........"

Stealth: 23

Gandalon circles the side of the clearing Morn indicated, before flying back to Horatio.

"Can't spot the slimy jerk, boss! He's good a hiding in the muck!"

20 perception

Samael sees a corpse, cuts an arm off from it and chucks it eastward.

"Have that, ye gluttonous fool! There's more here if you want it!"

The water churns in the poll Horatio pointed out earlier, as the arm is quickly consumed, clean bone popping up for a moment before it's pulled under.

(DM Question - does it appear that the frog king is circling around to that pool with the flesh eating creature? Or is he moving further away and around?)

"Should we try to start moving out of here slowly with Frankie?" Morn says to the others while he continues tracking the frog king, "I can track the king at least for the moment, and we're going to need to get moving sooner or later. I know it's not ideal to be moving with these things tracking us, but if we leave their camp, they may also leave us so that they can reclaim their territory."

((Hasn't moved that far north yet, but farther out.))

Trinjya has been ritual casting, are you giving her the 10 minutes to complete that? You'd still have the majority of your hour of mind spike going even if you do, it's been maybe 10 minutes since the conclusion of the fight so far.

(OOC - ah true, I forgot Trin was casting.)

Morn looks back at Trinjya for a moment to see if she'd completed her ritual, "Maybe we give Trinjya a few more minutes. Does everyone else have everything they need? If you find any gems or precious stones, I might be able to make you some jewelry as a momento when we get back to town."
