+=== Details: ===
+== I. The storm ==
+As the party arrived in the third village (whose name they still do
+not know), the weather had turned quite ugly.  It had been raining
+and there was some hail after they arrived.  The next morning
+(February 27th), the weather hasn't improved much.  The skies are
+partly clear, but the wind is very strong.  As the natives here are
+quite friendly, it would be in the party's best interests to wait
+the coming storm out.
+If the party decides to stay, then the second and third encounters
+listed for this day will be non-threatening.  However, if they head
+out, then the encounters must be dealt with directly.  See "III.
+Encounters" below.
+An additional benefit to staying an extra day is that the villagers
+will tell them about the Rain King and clue them in on how
+sophisticated the northern tribes are.
+If they do decide to head out, they will make little progress
+before the first encounter - at which point, they will be forced to
+seek shelter or return to the village.
+The first encounter will occur regardless of whether the party
+leaves the village.  It is integral to the storm and consists of
+two small armies of shadow and mist elementals battling each other
+in the sky.  Due to the nature of the combatants, no clear victor
+will be observed.  In fact, the fight will still be going as the
+clouds pass out of sight.
+Note: Only one of the elementals will swoop down to investigate the
+party.  Any threatening action from the PC's will result in an
+attack.  Roll randomly to determine whether it is a shadow or a
+mist elemental that they encounter.  (Note: The party may not be
+able to easily tell the difference.  The mist elemental looks quite
+unlike the water elemental they saw earlier)
+   Medium Shadow Elemental, 29 hp
+   HD: 4d8+12 (30 hp)
+   Init: +3 (Dex)
+   Speed: 40 feet
+   AC: 16 (+0 Size, +3 Dex, +3 Natural)
+   Attacks: Slam +6 melee
+   Damage: 1d8+4
+   Special Attacks: Shadow mastery
+   Everything else: Same as Medium Water Elemental
+   Medium Mist Elemental, 30 hp
+   HD: 4d8+12 (30 hp)
+   Init: +4 (+3 Dex, +1 Improved Initiative)
+   Speed: 30 ft, Fly 50 feet
+   AC: 18 (+0 Size, +3 Dex, +5 Natural)
+   Attacks: Slam +6 melee
+   Damage: 1d8+4
+   Special Attacks: Mist (Water/Air) mastery, Drench, Whirlwind
+   Saves: Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +1
+   Everything else: Same as Medium Air Elemental
+== II. The fork in the road ==
+In the late afternoon of the first day (or early in the second if
+they braved the storm on the 27th), the party will come to a fork
+in the trail.  It should be pointed out early that the trails here
+are becoming quite good.  They appear to have been travelled often.
+The fork gives the party two choices: follow the coast, or head
+toward the hills (which are several miles away).  If they go left,
+toward the hills, the trail will cut inland for two miles or so,
+then turn north again.  This is the "high" road.  The "low" road
+follows the coast and would appear to be more direct.  After a few
+miles, the terrain on the left becomes a cliff - punctuated every
+mile or so by a small waterfall.  After about ten miles of this,
+there is a larger waterfall that feeds into a huge, swampy area.
+This will turn out to be difficult to traverse and could provide
+multiple nasty encounters.
+== III. Encounters ==
+#1) Elemental storm - see section I.
+#2) Monstrous Centipedes, 2 hp each (10 x Small, p.207 in Monster
+Manual) - A wilderness lore roll against DC15 will spot these
+critters before they are dangerous.
+#3) Huge Viper Snake, 18hp (p.202 in Monster Manual)
+#4) Manticore, 50hp (p.130 in Monster Manual)
+#5) Dretch Swarm (14 of them) with dead Vrock leader (p.41 in
+Monster Manual).  These are more refugees from the elemental planes
+(in this case, the negative energy plane).  Their leader was killed
+(along with several other Dretches) by the shadow elementals that
+chased them.  They now huddle in an alien land, uncertain what they
+should do next.
