Sorry about the long delay. Although maybe a break from the game was a good thing for you, Jeff? I’ll let this turn take up to a week before ending it since we’re out of the routine.
I wanted to post the monty python “Finland” song here, but my copy is too large and I just can’t find a good free sample. I also don’t know how to post links to videos (youtube, etc). Greg, for the future, could you e-mail me a step by step?
Closing to within 3 meters, your group sees a low mound of packed mixed snow and dirt. The mound is 2-3 meters in diameter (although the dirty snow is spread wider than that) and only a half meter high in the center. There is a 4″ x 4″ post sticking out of the ground on one end of the mound. It appears to be wood, but it is a shiny brown color, as if it has been varnished. It rises 2 meters from the ground.
(Perhaps some secret GM rolls were made here for awareness or precognition. Or not. Just letting you know I’m thinking of such things)
What now?
