Well, I don't know what the chance of spell (PRAYER) failure is, but the if the spell goes off correctly, the bird will go to the spot Salix was thinking of and wait until the spell ends. It lasts 4 days per level and the spot he was thinking of he estimates to be 3 days away as the little bird flies. That means he'll mill around for a day waiting for someone to notice and remove the message. In *MY* imagination this is a pretty useful spell for Druids to use to communicate with each other, so *I* imagine most druid outposts would have a location where such messengers arrive and that it would be checked frequently. Now whether our illustrious DM will see things that way (after all it *is* his world) I can't say.
I also don't know what other failure factors would have to be rolled against to see if it works. Is there a roll to see if the bird gets eaten by a hawk on the way? Is there a roll to see if the Druid who should be manning the messenger spot was off in the loo reading comic books and missed the messenger? These are questions for our DM. Mark?? Inquiring minds want to know!

Correction: It lasts 1 day per level, meaning at Salix's level it lasts 4 days.

The spell worked, but Karl listed the problems that might arise before what he is trying to accomplish is done.
Enquiring minds might want to know, but to paraphrase The Dread Pirate Roberts, "learn to live with disappointment.
Turn forthcoming.

Are we talking about Frank Miller's Dark Mallard? Because if so, then yeah, especially Donald Duck.

Subject on the run
Ran calls the group to attention and speaks. "We have all had a strange dream filled with evil portents. There is still danger ahead of us. The man spoke of testing us once more. I fear that this will occur soon. Lady Rochelle is not yet safely in the protection of Heronin and therefore our job is not done. We must make haste to bring her to safety but let us not be reckless. Harp, have your injuries yet recovered? If not, please ask the blessing of your god to heal you. If there are others who require healing, let them come forward now. We will waste no more time covering our tracks as our whereabouts are already known. Once we are packed up, we will ride hard to Camlost. We will only stop if absolutely necessary."
Harp replies ?Heironeous has already granted my prayers and I am fit. As far as I know the party is at full strength. I do not fear the servants of the Scourge of Battle. Let him send what he will.? However Harp does move off to prepare the group to ride. Ran calls Salix over. ?What do you know about dreams?? Salix looks at him a bit startled. ?What do I know of dreams? Enough to know that that was no ordinary dream. It was a warning. Maybe Fal would have a better idea.? When asked Fal replies ? I have never heard of a spell like that.(Spellcraft check, DC?, 11+4=15, fail) At that point Harp let's every one know that they are ready to ride.
Cai, Bel and Salix consult with each about where they are. They know that they are near the border of Undulant with Camlost and Fornax. ?We definitely want to get into Camlost. Not that well organized but good people.? says Bel. ?You know we could try and find the Mountain road.? Cai chimes in. We can take it to Halburg and then cut across country. The only problem would be crossing the Dango river this far north, but I know of a ford just this side of the mountains. After that you have to go to Riverguard to find a bridge.? Bel and Salix nod at this plan and the two rangers move out.
The three give the party the bad news. It is almost 200 miles to the ford of the Dango River and another 100 to the border of Schon with Camlost. From there it is another 150 miles or so to Gorn. ?We are talking a little over two weeks before we can get back? Salix tells them. ?Well, it is not getting any shorter sitting here. Let's move? Ran says, and they are off.
OODM: I will try and write more tomorrow night. Any RP you want to do is fine with me.
