<strong>GM NOTE</strong><br/><br/>What had occurred previously had occurred in another strand of time--it had been a part of a fevered dream wherein the party had been confronted by the CARETAKER, servant of the Dark Lord Augur.  It was at that point, Arawn surmised, that their adventure went astray.<br/><br/>But not this time.<br/><br/>As the Caretaker approached this time, the Children of Zhar disappeared, nowhere to be seen.  They watched as the Caretaker tottered on towards the direction of TIDE POOL.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>OOC:<br/><br/>Children of Zhar, your timeline has been reset.  We will commence play in a timeline wherein the Caretaker did not stop your stealth approach.  However, we shall play it off as the previous encounter was a dream, or rather, a vision of a timeline that once occurred.<br/><br/>"There was a man... who was but a living skeleton, who was not possessed of a name, but rather, of an eternal duty.  He sees us and speaks with us, but we must hide.  For he shall alert the Captain of the Keep, and in so doing, we shall be erased from existence" came the prophecy.
