You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.Darkvision | You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.Fey Ancestry | Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.Trance | When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.Researcher | As an action, you present your holy Symbol and speak a prayer censuring the Undead. Each Undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take Reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to Escape from an Effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.Divine Domain: Turn Undead | Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends.Divine Domain: Path of the Grave | At 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Eyes of the Grave | At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.
In addition, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.Circle of Morality | While you wear this pendant, you stabilize whenever you are dying at the start of Your Turn. In addition, whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain Hit Points, double the number of Hit Points it restores.Item: Periapt of Wound Closure

Cantrips Known:Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self/5ft. Components: S, M(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp) Duration: 1 round Source: SCAG, pg. 142
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).Booming Blade, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self/5ft. Components: S, M(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp) Duration: Instantaneous Source: SCAG, pg. 142
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and you can cause green fire to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 2d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 3d8).Green Flame Blade, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft.

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. Mage Hand, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft./5ft. Components: S, M(a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute Source: PHB, pg. 260
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.Minor Illusion,
1st-Level Spells Known:Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour Source: PHB, pg. 233 You make yourself--including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person--look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.
To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.Disguise Self, Casting Time: 1 hour Range/Area: 10ft. Components: V, S, M(10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier) Duration: Instantaneous Source: PHB, pg. 240 You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again.
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.
You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.Find Familiar, Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece) Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn’t accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.
You can use your action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.Silent Image, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft. Components: V, S, M(tiny tarts and a feather that is waved in the air) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Attack/Save: WIS 13 Source: PHB, pg. 280 A creature of your choice that you can see within range perceives everything as hilariously funny and falls into fits of laughter if this spell affects it. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall prone, becoming incapacitated and unable to stand up for the duration. A creature with an Intelligence score of 4 or less isn’t affected.
At the end of each of its turns, and each time it takes damage, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. The target has advantage on the saving throw if it’s triggered by damage. On a success, the spell ends.Tasha's Hideous Laughter,
Cursing her luck at the sight of the wolves' trail bending off, Polly turns to the others. 'The wolves went that way,' she whispers, pointing in the direction of the supposed den. 'Which is bad, because now they're no longer right in front of us. Meaning they'll be the ones chasing us, going forward.' She craned her neck a little, as if to make sure no wolves lingered nearby, before continuing.
'Look, we can go murder them wolves, make sure they're no longer a problem,' she suggested. 'But between Lucien, and the mules, and the fact that we're ostensibly trying to keep Ismark and Ireena out of harm's way, that seems like a bad idea. In the forest, you don't survive by going looking for trouble. We need to conserve our strength- there's nobody coming to help us if we muck this up.'
'So I say we keep going,' she says resolutely, 'but do our best to keep them wolves from coming after us. Hiding our scent works well enough,' she elaborates, digging up some of the soil with her hands and rubbing it between her palms, leaving a this layer of loam and squashed bugs on her palms. 'Rub some dirt on you, mask your scent. We'll need to hide our tracks, going forward.' Then, jokingly, she added 'or we start a fire. Plenty of dry, dead leaves here. The flames will erase our tracks, and the smoke'll put those wolves off our scent better than any dirt. Though that might be a bit... Extreme,' she chuckled quietly.
Wanderer: Excellent memory for maps and terrain. Can find food and fresh water for myself and up to five people each day.

Eerie token: As a bonus action once per long rest, create a token from one of your nails/teeth/locks of hair. Until you finish a long rest, use them in one of two ways:
* Telepathic Message: A an action, speak 25 words telepathically to the holder of the token (within 10 miles).
* Remote Viewing: As an action, enter a trance for one minute (or shorter). See and hear through the token, while remaining blinded and deafened to own surroundings. At the end of the trance, the token is destroyed.

Radiant Sun Bolt: When using the Attack action, you may make a ranged spell attack (using Dex+prof) to attack a target within 30'. This attack deals d4+Dex radiant damage (increases with level). As a bonus action, spend 1 Ki to make an additional attack. When you gain the Extra Attack feature, you may use this feature for both attacks.
Slow Fall: As a reaction, reduce falling damage by 5*[lvl].
Aender looked towards the trail as Polly pointed it out and sighed. She went on to explain their options and while he didn't like the idea of fighting more wolves he knew she was right and it might be safest. Of course then she went on to say one didn't go looking for trouble in the forest. She then proceeded to rub dirt and bugs between her hands to hide her scent. "Personally I like the sound of the fire better, so long as it doesn't burn the whole forest down. We likely only have a few more hours of travel before pitch dark, maybe we light a small fire and then keep moving for a couple hours then try and find a place to rest that we can try and secure somewhat? I will defer to POlly's counsel though she knows more about these things than I do for certain. I would prefer not to fight more wolves and risk further injury to any of us if possible, who knows what else is chasing us at this point?"

Cantrips Known:Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self/5ft. Components: S, M(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp) Duration: 1 round Source: SCAG, pg. 142
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).Booming Blade, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self/5ft. Components: S, M(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp) Duration: Instantaneous Source: SCAG, pg. 142
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and you can cause green fire to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 2d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 3d8).Green Flame Blade, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft. Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute Source: PHB, pg. 256
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.
You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.
The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. Mage Hand, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft./5ft. Components: S, M(a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute Source: PHB, pg. 260
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.Minor Illusion,
1st-Level Spells Known:Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour Source: PHB, pg. 233 You make yourself--including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person--look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.
To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.Disguise Self, Casting Time: 1 hour Range/Area: 10ft. Components: V, S, M(10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier) Duration: Instantaneous Source: PHB, pg. 240 You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again.
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.
You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.Find Familiar, Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a bit of fleece) Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn’t accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.
You can use your action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.Silent Image, Casting Time: 1 action Range/Area: 30ft. Components: V, S, M(tiny tarts and a feather that is waved in the air) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Attack/Save: WIS 13 Source: PHB, pg. 280 A creature of your choice that you can see within range perceives everything as hilariously funny and falls into fits of laughter if this spell affects it. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall prone, becoming incapacitated and unable to stand up for the duration. A creature with an Intelligence score of 4 or less isn’t affected.
At the end of each of its turns, and each time it takes damage, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. The target has advantage on the saving throw if it’s triggered by damage. On a success, the spell ends.Tasha's Hideous Laughter,
”Without worrying about the wolves ahead of us, we should be able to push on and make better time.” Mara said, agreeing with Polly in her assessment as she took a sip from her waterskin. She eyed the trail towards the wolf den with visible contempt as her mouth turned down into a scowl, ”We’ll be keeping a watch anyway if they decide to come after us. I’ve had enough of those damned creatures.”
”Are they likely to pursue us, or stick to easier prey?” she asked as she nodded to Jhorn and Barry, looking for their input as well.

When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.
While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff, or spear, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with that weapon.
"Judging from what we've seen already, I'd say there's a good chance they'd try their luck. But if we pad out our rearguard we should be well prepared for if they do. Ireena, can you take Dixie?

Features and Abilities: You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.Elf Weapon Training | Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.Fleet of Foot | You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.Mask of the Wild | Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.Darkvision | You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.Fey Ancestry | Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.Trance | When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.Researcher | As an action, you present your holy Symbol and speak a prayer censuring the Undead. Each Undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take Reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to Escape from an Effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.Divine Domain: Turn Undead | Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends.Divine Domain: Path of the Grave | At 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Eyes of the Grave | At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.
In addition, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.Circle of Morality | While you wear this pendant, you stabilize whenever you are dying at the start of Your Turn. In addition, whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain Hit Points, double the number of Hit Points it restores.Item: Periapt of Wound Closure
Spells: Cantrips: This spell Repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn clack, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.

__________________
I have taken the Oath of Sangus!
The party, as judged by Mara, seems to cover a lot of ground after the crossroads. The first couple hours, the forest seems slightly less foreboding as it is teeming with wildlife - mostly squirrels and birds - that lends the place a similarity to a more normal woodland. The ever-present cloud cover along with a further shadowing of the forest canopy makes the sun impossible to track, although many of you suspect you are now in your last hour before true darkness grips the land once again.
An unidentifiable sense of trepidation begins to grow amongst you. It takes a few minutes to notice, but Lucian is actually the one to point it out. "Where do you suppose all the animals went?" Then you see it. An old house long abandoned tucked into the trees ahead of you. The sky chooses that fortuitous moment to open up and begin pissing all over you. Once again, Lucian pipes in. "Well, finding this shelter seems like pretty good timing." His smile fades a little as he looks around at your faces. "What?"

The short rest at the bottom of the canyon was sufficient for Marybeth to stretch out her bitten leg. The bandage was clean enough but would need to be changed before sleeping. Barry reorganized the group into a single file line. Again she was towards the back but had Jhorn behind her. Having some muscle at the back made her feel more secure.
That security was even more comforting when Polly pointed out the spur trail that Wolf pack most likely lived down. No one seemed eager to go after the wolves as Polly first suggested then pivoted and recommended sneaking past as a better option. Many in the group picked up handfuls of dirt and rubbed it on the palms and boots to try to cover their scent. The rest of the day was uneasy silence. It then became apparent as the gloom of Barovia seemed to darken slightly indicating the sun was going down that the birds and small forest noises had stopped. The boy, Lucian, pointed it out to the party, that the place much more quiet.
“I don’t like it,” Beth piped up laying her eyes on the decrepit building. She had scooted her way up the column once they stopped for some reason that she couldn’t see from the back. “You don’t build a building out in the middle of the forest, especially in this place, unless you want to be left alone or are doing something secret or are an outcast. From what you have told me, Barovia is dangerous even to those that have lived here their entire lives. Strength comes from numbers in this place yes? Then why is this out here alone, surrounded by forest?
“Yes it would give us some protection from getting soaked tonight and a bit of barrier from the wolves if they have followed us. But it feels out of place to me and makes me more uneasy than being out in the woods. I don’t see any other buildings or signs of people being here for some time,” Taking a perception 10cursory glance around them.
“If we really want to use it tonight I suggest investigating it first to make sure no one or no things have taken up residence in it already,” the Sorceress pulled her cloak about her tighter both from the rain coming down and her trying to feel safe.
Str 8(-1) | Dex 14(+2) | Con 14(+2) | Int 9 (-1) | Wis 10(+0) | Cha 18(+4) Saving Throws: Str -1 | Dex +2 | Con +4* | Int -1 | Wis +2* | Cha +6* Proficiency Bonus: +2
The building has held-up shockingly well considering the obvious centuries of neglect it has suffered. To the side of the building, the sorceress sees an area that had likely been a garden long ago but is now fallow. Three regularly shaped stones are aligned in a small row here. Stepping forward to investigate, Marybeth sees that they are grave markers, painstakingly carved and etched. They seem to depict the same day of death for each of the dead - children by their lifespans, ranging from toddler to pre-teen. She has no idea how old they are, as the manner of dates and time-tracking in this land are unfamiliar to her.
The house itself is clearly large enough to give everyone shelter for the night, even the mules. However, the eerie sense of trepidation, almost a sense of spiritual unrest, that you felt on the last leg of your hike seems to have grown even stronger.
Just a reminder to silverfeathers (actually, everyone) that I will be rolling any perception checks in the DM secret dice thread, you are to simply ask for it when making an active one. The same goes for: arcana, history, insight, investigation, nature, religion, and survival. All others on the list will be made by the players. The idea is that knowing if a roll is high or low on these rolls conveys an unfair amount of player knowledge, i.e. a poor perception check by one character will instigate additional checks from others whereas a high roll will convince the party there's nothing more to be found - a very low insight check may instill a certainty in a character that the opposite is true, etc.
Anyone who forgets this from time to time isn't irritating me or anything, as I understand most DM's don't do this. However, your roll will be discounted, regardless of what it is.

"Well...that's most definitely haunted." said the cleric. "And the same day of death for 3 children....yeah..." he didn't even need to finish the sentence. Barry had the feeling that the house wasn't as abandoned by the living as it seemed, for who would be the one to make the graves? "I guess one smart choice would be to keep on walking. But with the wolves close by this does give us a lifeline. So option number 2 is head on in and take care of whatever is going to try and kill us in there, before taking shelter."

Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.Researcher | As an action, you present your holy Symbol and speak a prayer censuring the Undead. Each Undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Eyes of the Grave | At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.

For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.Circle of Morality | While you wear this pendant, you stabilize whenever you are dying at the start of Your Turn.

”I’d rather not spend all night in this pissing rain,” Mara called out as they debated whether or not to head inside the abandoned building. Also don't want to spend hours cleaning the rust outta my weapons and armour, she thought as she shook the gathered moisture from her brow. ”Let me go first to check for trouble of the usual sort; at least then we’ll know for sure.”
Halberd in hand, Mara walked past Marybeth up to the front door, pausing only to nod to the others before pushing her way into the seemingly abandoned home. ”Hello? Anyone inside?”

When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.
While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff, or spear, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with that weapon.
'Quite a lot of people I know had their own little remote cabins in the woods,' Polly countered, arms crossed. 'Mind you, they were all stark raving mad. But in a place as awful as this, I can't really blame people for not wanting other people around. Some people like being alone.' The Hexblood stared ahead bitterly- she'd never admit it, but she certainly did not count herself among those people.
Forcing her sombre thoughts aside, Polly shook her head. 'Look, I'm not saying I trust this place... Or anywhere in this country, really. But do you think this could be the saint's house? Or maybe one of the fanes- the Ladies Three the old lady spoke of?' She looked around, scrunching her nose. 'If I were a goddess of the swamp, well, this certainly wouldn't be a half bad place to build my home,' she quipped.
Stepping up, she joined Mara as the half-orc made her way inside. 'Hold up,' she bid her friend. 'Best not to go alone, just in case Barry's right about this place,' the Hexblood jested.
