Where did they go, and up a tree
Subject E-mail
OOC: Can someone forward me Karl's two emails "RE: Round 3" ? His mail always gets marked as phishing mail by gmail (I guess since it's from @visa.com), and I accidentially deleted it this time with the rest of my spam.

Subject Where did they go
Allistair whispers using the Message spell to everyone. "I'm still not sure what is going on. Did those bugs just turn invisible, or did the mage that summoned them send them back to wherever they came from? Either way, it means we aren't safe yet."
Can Allistair make a spellcraft check to determine whether that was something going invisible, a summoned creature being sent back, or something else entirely?

In this situation I am going to say no, he can not. Even if a caster was visible, he would be over 80 feet away, which is -16 to spot checks and something similar to spell craft checks.
However, a spell that was dismissed would not provoke a spell craft check.

Kal waits for someone else to take the lead.
OOC: I might get another email out if someone comes up with a plan. But Kal won't take any leading role unless told to do so.

Subject Where did they go
Allistair whispers using the message spell to everyone, "Maybe Mund should go out 15 feet or so and see if the bugs are gone. He's the only one that can defend himself if they've just gone invisible or something. If we decide the bugs are gone, we should probably spread out. If there is a wizard out there, we are sitting ducks for a fireball or something similar."

Harp whispers back to Allistair "Right, but if those bugs show up again, only Ragnars protection circle is keeping them from surrounding us. Tell Mund that if he sees them again to high tail it back here. The rest of us can spread out a bit, but tell evey one to get ready to center back on Ragnar if something pops up."
Harp will keep his spiritual weapon close to where Mund is so if something does appear he is ready to attack with it (while it lasts).
Harp will move 20' (3 squares) up to D16.

Subject Where did they go
Nobody seems to be taking control, so Mund speaks up.
"OK, fellers, let's split, two by two, and see what we can find. If there's somebody out there causing this, we need to find out."
"Allistair, you need to stay behind and coordinate everybody else. I'll stay here and guard you and Salix."
"Unless anybody has a better idea, all get moving."
From: Derek
Subject Up a tree
Allistair tells everyone via Message: "I'm going to cast Rope Trick to climb the tree, and give us a place to get out of danger if we need it. I'll try and get Salix up there and out of danger."
Allistair will cast Rope Trick, having the rope go high enough that a person could use the rope to then get into the main branches of the tree. He will then start climbing and tell Salix to climb up after him.

Subject Up a tree
Assuming that everybody else splits up into couples, Mund will stay and guard Allistair and Salix until they're safe. Once that's done, he'll join one of the couples at random.
From: Jason
Subject Up a tree
Assuming the others start breaking into couples, Ragnar says to Mund "Since we're an odd number without you, I'll stick around until they're safe, then we can head out together."
If we follow Harp's plan, he'll stay with Salix and the others watching as Mund looks for the bugs. In fact, if Mund goes out looking for them alone, Ragnar will cast aid on him before he leaves.
From: Porter
Subject Up a tree
"Good thinking. Here. I'll keep an eye out for the east half, and you do the same for the west half."
"Allistair, since we have two others here, one of us can help get Salix up in that magic box if you need it. Let us know."
