Couple of Wyv Guys
General Summary
The group, after some time along the river and discovering the flayed mangled remains of the drow just a few hours before, prepared to bed down for the night under the canopy of the treeline. A growl, deep and foreboding, rumbled from the shore of the river. The volume beyond that of what a man sized creature could muster. Melech crept towards the edge, to his surprise a huge, dragon like beast emerged over the drop off to the riverbed. It crawled its way up on the ledge and into the wooded area. Melech retreated like a fleet bird, and loosed an arrow hollering to the rest of the group of the threat emerging. Hugh joined in immediately, but was met on his way to the fight, by a larger, more resilient Wyvern, that crested over the dropoff. The group would engage in battle, with the two, learning the dangerous nature of a Wyvern. Its bite treacherous, its sting, painful, but it's venom, lethal. much of our heroic group fell and nearly died at the tail of such large potent creatures, but Shadran severed the head of the female before being felled by the male, and Kolbrin, with the use of his last ounce of Spellfire, blew a hole in the side of the mighty beast, after his flaming breath weapon had little effect. The two monstered lay on the ground, and the group would rest until morning. when they investigated the area for a roost nearer than the fork in the river. They would find none. Melech searched over the bodies of the wyverns and milked some of the poison from male stinger.
Over the next 5 days the group would travel further north atop the ridge of the gorge ever towards the steep hills in the lands against the wall. Leaving behind the grasslands of Rauvindale, they were in a new land, again. For the second time in this year alone they had traveled from one land to another, across hundreds of miles, facing new threats, and the dangers of a new place. The weather, the terrain, the Perils were new each time. These Knights from never winter had never seen a giant, much less faced down a Wyvern, or even TWO! Dark Elves weren't exactly new, especially to Shadran, but the horror of a Drider was the stuff of nightmares, and don't even get Hugh started on nightmares!
Now approaching the mountains and drudging over the Spine of the worlds massive foothills, the weather was much more mild. Temperatures are not getting warmer than 75º during the day, dropping to near 45º at night. The forest is spreading across the land sparse but still providing cover from the eyes of predator's. Line of sight is reduced, the spyglass doesn't help much in the region. Melech is still able to gauge direction, as the sun is visible in small clearings and along the river's edge. The group should be able to reach Zadan by Shieldmeet, just a week away.
