Forest of Andor/Bulette in the Head
Continuing North towards the mountains, the party notice that as the land rises, it get colder and the air gets thinner. Eventually Grel has to land as he is struggling to maintain altitude even with the aid of the Flight Suit.
Before long the sound of a great waterfall is heard and when it comes into view there appears to be be way to ascend. A little thought and investigation identifies a path to the West that may be a little easier.
This path leads to another smaller cliff, one that the party is confident they can ascend but not in the fading sunlight.
A good night sleep and some preparation sees Grel soaring again with some magical help from Fletcher, and he is quickly able to scout out the top of the cliff and give the all clear.
Using combination of magic and sticky feet, everyone joins the diminutive Archer at the top where they journey onward on the only visible path.
Progressing down a small valley all seems quiet until BOOM! a large creature comes leaping out of the scree and attacks everyone, badly injuring Jadrol and Grel.
Fletcher escapes to the edge of the valley while Grel and Jadrol backpedal away trying to get out of reach of it.
Jadrol takes another couple swipes and he runs for the river with Grel not far behind him.
A couple of magic missiles and a summoned not-a-leopard force the beastie back under the loose rocks while Grel tries to patch up Jadrol.
A bit of a waiting game ensues, before the Bulette eventually shows its ugly face and gets pummelled by Jadrols bombs and Fletcher tries to get back down from the cliff.
