Adam nodded, "All good, I plan on having a tower to contain books before long but I'll have a tent on the high side of town until then to keep them safe and out of the weather." He smiled wide, "Give me enough time and I will have a turtle tower so I can make arcane house calls." The idea amused him to no end.

"Until then, onwards and upwards."

"Not cook people, cook for people. Only bad things cook people." Says Littlejohn with a look of confusion.



"Hi pretty lady." Says Littlejohn as her joke sails over his head.


"Me can help guard, know how to do that. Then we all go Smith's Gambit?" Says Littlejohn nodding in agreement with a big grin.

Do you all attempt to climb back up the steep side of the hill, or walk around? Climbing would be a DC 10 climb check, since you aren't being threatened.

Adam will walk around as Wizards and athletics do not mix.

Azu will follow Littlejohn as she really is intrigued by him.

Littlejohn follows Adam around the hill, looking around interestedly with a smile on his face.
Looking down at Azu he gives her a grin and starts to sing. [Language unknown: "Fi iote erass der nc eianncfo, le meore thain taone ul thaoerectany..."]

Azu stopped and turned to Littlejohn. ”If you go out in the woods today, better go in disguise. If you go out in the woods today, you’re sure to get a surprise, cause every bear that ever there was is gathing there simply because today is the day the Teddybears have their picnic.” Then she turned and followed Adam again.

Sai follows the others to walk up the less steep side of the hill, humming quietly to himself along with the melodies of Littlejohn and Azu.

By the time you get back to the build site at the top of the hill, the watchtower is finished. The foreman notices Littlejohn and says, "Alright youse guys, time to head back to town. Wait a minnit... wasn't there four of youse before? Fuggedaboudit. Nunna my business."

Azu is impressed. ”You all must be professional erectionists. You erected this tower very quickly. Can you erect other things quickly?”

Adam tilted his head side to side, "You win some, you lose some. In the end so long as the lion share gets home all the better. Did you all find anything interesting as you went digging for the foundation? Never know when you may hit paydirt."

A builder grinned at Azu and began to say something, but the foreman elbowed him in the ribs and rolled his eyes before answering Adam. "Thank the gods, no. Treasure troves make the worst foundations, and this is a very good place for a watchtower. Treasure ain't worth nothing if the goblins take us by surprise!"

Azu stood on tiptoes, ”We will be returning then?”

"Yep. Let's get back to town before dark. Don't wanna be out when the wolves come out," said the foreman.

Azu clapped and began skipping back to town humming a walking song.

Skyeye stays behind, opting to finish her lean-to and sleep on the hill. As the rest of you begin to head back toward the town you can clearly see the path the necromancer and her allies took. It runs parallel to the path you took to get to the hill. Would you like to follow it and see if you can track the creature they fled from? It could be a danger to travelers, after all.

Azu stood and stared off down the path from which the necromancer had come.

Adam looked up from his book. "On one hand it is nice to rid the world of monsters so others can be safe. After all, watchmen will have to travel this way to get to the watchtower. On the other hand we are not actively being paid for it but can likely get a hunters fee, but no promise of payment just yet."

Smith has openly promised payment for any useful discoveries and for removing threats to the town (beyond any mission you may already be on.)

Adam clapped, "Right, so who is still here and with us to kill a monster? Can't rightly do it if not everyone wants to go. I am always down for more money as making a tower is expensive."

Azu grinned, ”I’m always down for monster murder. Hehehehehehe.”

Littlejohn enjoyed listening to Azu even though he didn't understand much of what she said. But he never worried about that. He knew that words were tricky things that told other people secrets he didn't get. And someone always told him what he needed to know.

"Trail of bad people, we see if there other bad people?"

You find it easy to follow the trail in the snow left by the trio. It runs parallel to the path you took to get where you are, in fact, it is so close to that path that you might well catch the attention of whatever's out there even if you didn't follow the trail. The builder foreman says, "we'll keep our distance, so youse guys can maybe sneak up on whatever it is, and badda-bing, badda-boom, we're at Darla's before dinner. "

Azu spun on her toes, ”Wheeee! Lets go murder some monsters!”
