Duke: I have emailed you Za spell stuff.

Okay, onto Ameane's bardic lore stuff. She knows all this:

Range of creatures in the area (from the common to the more interesting/unique/deadly): Various vermin, goblins, kobolds, lizardfolk, desert elephants, ankheg, all kinds of giants, bulette, chimera, and yrthak.

Common Lore: Anyone who enters the great dungeon is always dead a year and 13 days later. Since most adventurers that enter the dungeon die period, this is a widely believed superstition by the common folk of Maladium.

Many giants charge tolls for safe passage, even when you are just passing over a yard or two of their turf.

The Trail of Rhuen: The trail from Ursaphous to the great dungeon taken by the failed expedition of the adventurer, Dargo Rhuen. It weaves back and forth (in almost circuitous fashion at times), attempting to avoid several giant footholds of power. However, the trail is from another era, and thus has fallen into disrepair and cant be expected to be as safe a journey as it once was. Traders with ties to the giants are sometimes found on parts of the trail as they go about business.

Barleth Brak: Leader of Braks Raiders, a group of bandits that operates on the outskirts of Ursaphous, but rarely seen very far into giant lands.

Waystation #1: Small wooden structure within a few hours travel of the city. Groups often sleep their first night here and venture further in the morning.

Fortress of Quo-daneel: The biggest giant stronghold directly between Ursaphous and the great dungeon, some fifteen+ miles from the city. Even Rhuens trail avoids this.

Def-Zafa: Leader of a gang of giants. Known to be a fugitive from the authorities in Quo-daneel.

The Verdant Oasis and Waystation #3: Place to replenish water and sleep, with a waystation identical to #1. But to get there you must travel uncomfortably close to Quo-daneel. It is 5 miles off Rhuens trail.

Phylianandras Mirror:
Princess Phylianandra, youngest half-elven daughter of the last king of Mystheria, had a lavish mirror in her bedchamber. The king commissioned its construction shortly after she was born, and it was rumored to have scrying capabilities to enable the king to always be able to monitor his newborn. It ended up part of the spoils of war when Mystheria fell. However, the caravan transporting it back to the Empire of Shifting Sands suffered some raids and attacks, and some of the loot, including the mirror, never made it back to the Empire. No one is sure where the mirror is today, but it is rumored to rest in the medium levels of the great dungeon beyond the land held by giants.

Damien: In 3.5, sleep takes a full-round action to cast (p. 280 PHB).

Pixie is up now, round 2.

LOL @ Damien. Sounds like you need to get some sleep instead of casting it.

Okay, now this sucker is moving. I dare you guys to keep up with me. I recently made 6 IC posts in a single day for Hadley's. Can you prod me into 7?

Edana is up; please post Leo.

Leo: Okay, before the bless was cast, Edana has +3 (BAB) + 3 (DEX) + 1 (bow enhancement)= +7. What is the extra point for that gets her to +8? Point blank shot only provides +1 within 30 ft.

Frimble is up; please post Eric.
