On the subject of OOC chatter, I actually wouldn't mind seeing a more of this IC, with a force 5 spirit providing concealment, there is absolutely no reason that each group can't be chatting amongst itself. Nothing you are walking past would even notice.

It took twice as long to get to this stream as you figured it would, what with all the gawking and jabbering...
Hrm, anyone else notice a connection between these two posts by our (rather sneaky) GM?
*notices the distinct lack of angel smileys, and shrugs* You sir, are getting paranoid.
By the way, I just sent some info farothel, than I realized 1) how difficult it was to understand and 2) that it was better to put it here, even though Sammy is the only one that knows it. You seem like a realtively trustworthy bunch, * Gm's evil eye tracks to the suspiciously shady ones at the table*
Anyway, the best guesstimate (see what I did there?
) of distance you have is Sammy's astral trek, with the problem being there is no such thing as Astral GPS, Using the distance from the clearing you started in to the waterway you are at now as a measure (X), the distance to the bridge is anywhere from 3X to 5X that distance, probably closer to the higher end. The path off the river is at least that , X distance again, but probably not more than twice that.
Is that understandable?
Also, the stream is starting to turn into a small river, so walking in it won't be an option very long.
