'I believe Dualis got us as close as we could get via teleportation.   We'll need to walk from here but he did warn that we might run into problems just getting there, so we need to stay alert.'

In reply to Aztar (msg # 16):

"Right then.  Shorty, ye want to take the lead?  I'll trail the group, just in case something tries to sneak up from behind.  The rest of ye, stick together in between."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 17):

An invisible Trysk offers, "Let me know if you want me to do some aerial reconnaissance.  Otherwise, I'm happy to stay here in the middle."

Aztar looks directly at Tyrsk and shakes his head, 'I don't think we need you to scout right now.  We don't have that far to go and should be fine just keeping our eyes open.'

In reply to Aztar (msg # 19):

Shorty pulls cracker into his other hand and moves forward.  He pauses for a second and asks, "us know which way goin?"

In reply to Shorty (msg # 20):

"Towards the big tower, laddie," replies Warwick.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 21):

The group starts walking down the road at a casual pace, keeping an eye out for any danger as well as getting accustomed to the environment. After about 50' you come across buildings with signage, The Wydman Suites, Full Tankard Bar, Gold Lane Inn and Bar, Adventurer's Rest ... mostly inns and bars probably for the next couple of hundred feet at least.  It appears after every second building on either side is a small side street.  As you continue forward you do notice there seems to be a little off visually just up ahead, a shimmer or sheen, similar to what you see just above the surface of sand or rock on a hot sunny day; but this one extends up for at least 50 feet as the effect seems to fade.  You have walked about 100'.

"What do ye make of the shimmer ahead?" asks Warwick to no one in particular.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 23):

Trysk shrugs and says, "Let's find out."  He detects for magic and evil.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 24):

Morteft nods. "Let's check it out." He follows along.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 25):

"Aye, but cautiously, okay?" suggest Warwick as he rises into the air about 5 feet and floats along behind the group.  Every so often, he turns around to check to make sure nothing is sneaking up from behind.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 24):

Magic is all about but very strong at the shimmering.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 27):

OOC - Can Trysk tell what type of magic?

BIC - Trysk says warily, "Perhaps we should give it a wide berth."

'Best guess is that it's the start of the teleportation lock and which is Silver's best estimate as well'

In reply to Aztar (msg # 29):

Trysk asks, "Forgive my ignorance, but who is Silver?"

'Ah, sorry.  We haven't had a new member travel with us In some time.  Silver is my sword and companion.  He has an uncanny range of abilities as far as detection and location go and is a very valuable ally of mine.'

In reply to Aztar (msg # 31):

Beyond the shimmer you can make out a few more signs on buildings, The Magic Missile Club, Sage Advice, Potions and Things, Holy Words.  The buildings look to be in excellent shape and there are more beyond.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 32):

Shorty casually reaches into his belt and pulls out a throwing stone.  He throws it at the shimmer to see what happens.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 33):

The stone passes thru without incident, bounces along the road a couple of times and stops.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 34):

Shorty continues carefully forward

In reply to Shorty (msg # 35):

Trysk continues to follow Shorty and the others into the shimmer.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 36):

Morteft follows along with Shorty.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 37):

Warwick brings up the rear still hovering above the floor.

Aztar also walks into the field, but doesn't seem the slightest bit worried as he walks into it.

In reply to Aztar (msg # 39):

Same as the stone, you all pass thru without incident.  The air looks clear now, no shimmer.  Looking back you see no shimmer as well, actually it is just gray, as in nothing but gray, no shapes, like looking at a canvas.

The road continues straight toward the tower.
