I'll also admit that, given we're 10th level characters, I made the (fairly reasonable, I think) assumption that you weren't putting us up against anything with access to Wish; off the top of my head, at best that's a 17th-level caster, and at worst that's something with access to it as an SLA, and therefore is far less restricted in its use (no xp cost). I will say that a little bit more description than a one-liner that basically says "everyone suddenly disappeared while you weren't looking" would have gone a long way, because the way the original post was written made me think that something had happened and I had been told I missed something really obvious going on around me simply because it was convenient.<br/><br/>Also, an easier way to remove the obstacle barring progress would probably have been to have Alice call her mount and volunteer to carry the girl down the mountain, then to have her catch up at a convenient time later after Siereis got back. Just a suggestion-with-hindsight.<br/><br/>If you put up another interest check, pm me a link to the thread.
