Duchy of the Reach or the Gold County. Until expended
in this way, the favor counts as an Influence Point with
the family as well as the Order of the Hart in Furyondy.
Beau of Lystrilla: The PC has impressed Lystrilla
Azkagar with his charm and actions in obtaining the cure
needed for her illness. As such, she has made it known to
the PC that she accepts his courtship. Her father, Sir
Frehicald, has given the PC permission to call upon his
daughter. This functions as an Influence Point with the
Azkagar family until such time as the family announces
an engagement for her. At that point, this influence point
becomes void and should be marked off.

Tidal surge (Evocation [water])

Level: Druid 6, Ocean 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Targets: One or more creatures in a 20-ft. radius burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes
When you cast this spell, you create a huge wave of
water that slams into one or more targets within range.
If there is no large, natural source of water (a river,
lake, or ocean) within the spell range, you affect only
one target. If such a source exists within the range of
the spell, the spell creates a burst centered on a
location you designate. In either case, the water deals
1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum
7d8) to the target or to creatures within the area.
In addition, all affected creatures suffer a bull rush
attack, forcing them to make opposed Strength checks
against the wave of water. The water has an effective
Strength of 16 and is considered Medium sized (or
Strength 20 and Large if cast near a source of water).
You designate the direction the wave pushes when you
cast the spell; creatures who lose the opposed Strength
check are pushed back 5 feet, plus an additional 5 feet
for every 5 points by which the wave beats their
Strength check, in that direction. It is possible for a
wave arising from a body of water to push characters
into the water.
The wave puts out torches, campfires, exposed
lanterns, and other open flames if they are carried by
the target or located within the area and they are Large
size or smaller. If the wave hits a magical fire, those
flames are targeted by a dispel magic effect as if you
had cast the spell.

Encounter Two Map Key:

The Rectangles in the center represent the wagons PCs are escorting, heading in the direction of the arrow. PCs should
be allowed to place themselves as desired for guard duty. The “X” represent soldiers under Kreng, whose location is
indicated by his name. Solid circles/ovals are rock outcroppings while circles with white centers represent trees. The X
inside the circle indicates a soldier currently shooting from in the tree’s branches. The road is narrow here, only about
fifteen feet wide.

The letters represent the approximate location of the various individuals, using the first letter of their name. The orcs
are numbered 1 to 4. Remember that at some APLs there are only three orcs; in that case delete O4 from the above
