[2025/07/17 14:04] Mecha: gonna say speak with animals
[2025/07/17 14:05] Mecha: with that she might be able to have a conversation with Andreas
[2025/07/17 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me thwips Mechas' nose
[2025/07/17 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! No! Bad!

[2025/07/17 14:09] Andreas: nice to see you Sonja
[2025/07/17 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: isn't it always ;)
[2025/07/17 14:09] Andreas: hi kittens ^_^
[2025/07/17 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you get to pick a 2nd level spell as well
[2025/07/17 14:12] Mecha: Beep Boop *Hugglesmooches*
[2025/07/17 14:12] Sapphire: is Wall of Stone an option?
[2025/07/17 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: doesn't seem to be
[2025/07/17 14:13] Mecha: While you all level up, this one will be right back. She needs to start dinner.
[2025/07/17 14:13] Sapphire: hmmmmm

[2025/07/17 14:14] Sapphire: *finger drums*
[2025/07/17 14:15] Sapphire: Silence, actually.
[2025/07/17 14:15] Sapphire: that blocks most spellcasting, yes?
[2025/07/17 14:15] Sapphire: as well as the sneaking utility
[2025/07/17 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: usually, but not sneaking
[2025/07/17 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me cracks knuckles and opens notes
[2025/07/17 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, we all ready to begin your TPK?
[2025/07/17 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: I mean, next adventure
[2025/07/17 14:18] Sapphire: /me begins Table-Pencil-Klicking!
[2025/07/17 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me takes the silence as a "Yes!"
[2025/07/17 14:18] Sapphire: /me also says hi to everyone!
[2025/07/17 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, last time... seems that a visit to Kelly An Daerg is on the cards
[2025/07/17 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: A pity she's been dead for the past century
[2025/07/17 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, as we know, she walks the bog of Fathom Lough, not quite dead, not quite alive, but in some hideous space between, thirsting for the lives of those foolish enough to dare to trespass in her bog.
[2025/07/17 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with the next day dawning, you wake and wonder... what could possibly go right?
[2025/07/17 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that intro out of the way... GGGGGGRRRRREEEEETTTTIIINNGGSSS Adventurers! Other players get adventures full of text, you get to play by text message SMSs'.
[2025/07/17 14:22] Sapphire: I can't wait to experience
[Hyperlink Blocked].
[2025/07/17 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you're here and awake, what does Te'ala do first thing in the morning?
[2025/07/17 14:23] Andreas: pours full bowl of milk?
[2025/07/17 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're having a bowl of milk, Andreas?
[2025/07/17 14:23] Sapphire: The elven druid tries to rise before dawn, checking the area around the encampment for tracks, be they of beast, men, or things known only to the oracles.
[2025/07/17 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You're at the Hook, Line & Sinker. You spent the night in a cozy bed, in Als' tavern).
[2025/07/17 14:25] Mecha: Lahli got healed explained her actions pranke.. er prayed and everyone was happy
[2025/07/17 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: what about Lahlia?
[2025/07/17 14:26] Sapphire: In this case Te'ala is more likely to find the pellets and scratches of rodents and... oh yeah, the talking rat who's been traveling with them. A few headpats and checking if they are still asleep
[2025/07/17 14:26] Andreas: I'm usually having bowl of energy drink Sonja or even two bowls.
[2025/07/17 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: you pet your rat. You get squeaked at, and brushed by the rats' whiskers.
[2025/07/17 14:27] Mecha: Lahli gets up and heads for breakfast. Probably still feeling a bit drained after yesterday
[2025/07/17 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm not sure that's such a good breakfast....
[2025/07/17 14:27] Sapphire: ♥
[2025/07/17 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: you see Al, behind the bar, studiously wiping a mug clean. She gives you a toothy grin, and beckons you over closer.
[2025/07/17 14:28] Mecha: I approach, smiling as well
[2025/07/17 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al puts the mug down and leans closer. "Did you hear of the dyslexic? He walked into a bra. HA! HA HA! HA HA HA! Good one, eh?"
[2025/07/17 14:29] Mecha: Lahli chuckles. What about the Cleric who couldn't spell? Spent their life praying to santa
[2025/07/17 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al laughs uproariously and glances up at the ceiling over your head
[2025/07/17 14:29] Mecha: Lahli knows she will regret it but looks up as well
[2025/07/17 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ten feet over your head, you can see someone has nailed a few strips of beef to the ceiling.
[2025/07/17 14:30] Mecha: breakfast on the house?
[2025/07/17 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Oh, that. It's quite simple, anyone who can in one straight up jump slap all three cuts of beef, they get a prize of a hundred copper pieces. But if they fail, they got to pay for drinks for every customer in the tavern for the whole day."
[2025/07/17 14:32] Mecha: /me looks around. "So that's everyone that is here now or comes in as well?"
[2025/07/17 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al nods. "So far, no takers, do you think the steaks are too high?"
[2025/07/17 14:33] Sapphire: Te'ala makes their way downstairs after attending to some personal matters and washing her hands, ears perked to catch the second half of the ongoing conversations.
[2025/07/17 14:33] Mecha: Lahli tries to hold it in but just can't as she breaks out laughing
[2025/07/17 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al gives Te'ala a toothy grin. "What grand escapades or delightful mischief do you have planned for today?"
[2025/07/17 14:35] Andreas: /me "something to eat and drink for a starter, than whatever these two gonna come up with" ... looks at the steaks at the ceiling .... "nah, too high, too lazy" .... shakes his head ... "Al please give me whatever you have with meat and beer ofc"
[2025/07/17 14:36] Sapphire: "To start with, some bread and cheese would be fine. For the rest of the day, hmmmm. " (Did we have a plan as of the end of last session? ))
[2025/07/17 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al quickly fetches Andreas a raw steak and some of the local beer, brewed from mushrooms. It comes in half pint glasses due to being rather potent.
[2025/07/17 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al fetches Te'ala some bread and cheese, a local variety that tastes vaguely of nuts, and has small red berries in the cheese.
[2025/07/17 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Plan from last session: Find and talk with Kelly An Daergs' spirit.
[2025/07/17 14:39] Sapphire: Ah, since we heard about them from the draugr in the barrow?
[2025/07/17 14:39] Andreas: "Mushroom beer and raw steak, nice" ... dips the steak into the beer .... "maybe put it on grill for a short while Al?" smiles.
[2025/07/17 14:39] Mecha: Lahli orders oatmeal with fresh berries and honey." Yep we go talk with this spirit, try not to die and I promise not to bark.. I make no promises about other animal sounds."
[2025/07/17 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Ah, brave souls! As you venture into the realm of the banshee, remember: her wails can chill the warmest heart. You'll need some dayberries."
[2025/07/17 14:42] Mecha: Sure, lets use the term brave
[2025/07/17 14:42] Mecha: *Brb*
[2025/07/17 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Brave beats foolhardy.
[2025/07/17 14:43] Sapphire: Te'ala contemplates while eating her bread and cheese, sharing some with her rat companion, mildly hidden under the table to avoid causing too much of a stir.
[2025/07/17 14:43] Sapphire: ....as if such a thing would offend a women who nails beef to the ceiling
[2025/07/17 14:44] Sapphire: "Dayberries?"
[2025/07/17 14:44] Sapphire: She looks up, suddenly directing her full, unshielded attention to Al.
[2025/07/17 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al nods. "A magickal kind of berry, that grows on the dayberry bush. Very rare, and help repel undead creatures and provide the bearer protection from being harmed by undead."
[2025/07/17 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "The druid Irenicus grew a dayberry bush, he has the only one known to exist. Nice guy, for a druid, but probably a bit before your time."
[2025/07/17 14:47] Andreas: /me "I'm certain he'll want something in return for those dayberries, nothing is for free" ... looks at the ceiling again ...
[2025/07/17 14:47] Mecha: A bit before our time, does that mean he's...
[2025/07/17 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "You could ask him, he has a place near Gloomleaf Clearing."
[2025/07/17 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Older than you? Yes. Yes he his."
[2025/07/17 14:49] Sapphire: ( As an Elf, Te'ala does have rather more years than most of the group, How far back does Irenicus go, is he someone I might know of? )
[2025/07/17 14:49] Mecha: Oh good, he is still alive. Got it
[2025/07/17 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Hard to say, since, you're foreigners in a strange land.)
[2025/07/17 14:50] Sapphire: (hmmm, true)
[2025/07/17 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, hitting the road?
[2025/07/17 14:51] Mecha: once the oatmeal is finished Lahli is ready to go
[2025/07/17 14:51] Andreas: /me "is the Glommleaf far away?"
[2025/07/17 14:51] Mecha: *Since this one is running back and forth cooking she will walk with the others.*
[2025/07/17 14:51] Mecha: *Like auto pilot at the moment*
[2025/07/17 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: You've got some directions to Gloomleaf Clearing. It's quite close to Fathom Lough.
[2025/07/17 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: you could make it there and back in a day.
[2025/07/17 14:53] Sapphire: "have you been to gloomleaf yourself?"
[2025/07/17 14:53] Andreas: /me "we should finish our meals and move, I guess, quests won't wait and we should find Kelly An Daergs' sooner rather than later"
[2025/07/17 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "In my younger days, yes, but not since I'm been running a tavern."
[2025/07/17 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Indeed, quests won't wait and the Great Troll Army draws nearer
[2025/07/17 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, taking the path through forests and fields towards the bog?
[2025/07/17 14:55] Andreas: /me nods
[2025/07/17 14:56] Sapphire: (brb, biobreak)
[2025/07/17 14:57] Andreas: /me "well no wait, to the Gloomleaf first, the dayberries sounds like essentials, who knows in what mood Kelly gonna be"
[2025/07/17 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... you walk through woods, past shrubs, fields, and come to a curve that leads past a copse of trees when....
[2025/07/17 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Out steps a mischievous gnome-like figure with vibrant green eyes that sparkle with mischief. Standing just over three feet tall, his curly auburn hair is topped with a tattered top hat adorned with a shamrock.
[2025/07/17 14:59] Andreas: /me waves at the gnome-like figure with slightly retarded facial expression
[2025/07/17 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Top o' the mornin' to ya! Oh, it's ye, ye langers. Let’s see if ye've learned a trick or two since our last frolic!" With a twinkle in his eye and a playful grin, he beckons the party closer.
[2025/07/17 15:02] Mecha: Lahli is cautious. "Ohhh I learned you can out crazy the undead. They are not a fan of being barked at.
[2025/07/17 15:02] Sapphire: (back)
[2025/07/17 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Ah, me fine friend, good to know, now ponder this wee riddle: How many shiny gold coins can a leprechaun fit in a pot that’s all empty?"
[2025/07/17 15:03] Mecha: I know, I know
[2025/07/17 15:03] Mecha: One, because after that it's no longer empty
[2025/07/17 15:04] Andreas: /me looks at Lahli with even more retarded facial expression and rolls his eyes each in different side .... "no barking"
[2025/07/17 15:04] Mecha: Lahli looks at Andreas."I already promised I wouldn't."
[2025/07/17 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "och, yer smart! But that was an easy one to start ye off. Ah, now, here’s a tricksy riddle for ye: Why shouldn't ye ever press a four-leaf clover flat?"
[2025/07/17 15:04] Sapphire: Te'ala considers this, coming to a stop and reasoning it over.
[2025/07/17 15:05] Sapphire: "This is quite curious, as I know many mortals who have done precisely that. But they inevitably end up with seperated leaves and stem by the end."
[2025/07/17 15:06] Mecha: Lahli ponders this one
[2025/07/17 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me awaits the reply with DM stoicism
[2025/07/17 15:07] Sapphire: (Ah, so Te'ala's answer was incorrect then? )
[2025/07/17 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: (that was an answer?)
[2025/07/17 15:07] Sapphire: (It could be read as one )
[2025/07/17 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Ah, I got ye now! Because you shouldn't press your luck!"
[2025/07/17 15:08] Mecha: meh, it was on the tip of my tongue
[2025/07/17 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's what he said.
[2025/07/17 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me coughs and hides behind notecards
[2025/07/17 15:09] Sapphire: probably shouldn't press that either
[2025/07/17 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Ah, now, listen closely, dear friend, to this riddle I weave: What has eyes that cannot spy, though on a plate it doth lie? Give it a thought, 'tis found in your feast, for the answer is sweet, not a creature in least!"
[2025/07/17 15:10] Mecha: Lahli just smiles
[2025/07/17 15:10] Mecha: It's a potato
[2025/07/17 15:11] Mecha: or since you mentioned sweet, a yam could also work
[2025/07/17 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun scowls. "Ah, seems ye are smart indeed and have bested me again today!"
[2025/07/17 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Well, me fine friends, if ye’ve got a wee drop of somethin’ hidden away, I’d be tickled pink to share a toast! Just a thimbleful of ale or whiskey would make me heart sing, or, maybe some baccy?"
[2025/07/17 15:11] Mecha: yeah but you had me with the clover one
[2025/07/17 15:12] Mecha: Lahli looks to Andreas."You're the one who drinks."
[2025/07/17 15:14] Andreas: /me "yeah, let me try what you have Leprechaun"
[2025/07/17 15:14] Mecha: He's asking if you have some to share
[2025/07/17 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "What YE have."
[2025/07/17 15:15] Sapphire: Te'ala water skins only have a small amount of wine for cleanliness
[2025/07/17 15:15] Andreas: /me "well I can offer a mushroom ale if you want Leprechaun"
[2025/07/17 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Pah, what am I, a dwarf?"
[2025/07/17 15:17] Andreas: /me looks at Leprechaun "take or leave, I don't have anything else" shrugs
[2025/07/17 15:17] Mecha: I don't drink, but I can share some food. Would you be good breaking bread with me?
[2025/07/17 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leprechaun: "Och, I'll leave it. And ye, too! Slán abhaile, aye?"
[2025/07/17 15:18] Mecha: And to you as well. I will get something for the next time we meet.
[2025/07/17 15:18] Sapphire: "Apologies fair sir. I rarely carry hard drink when traveling. Even my wine is watered down at the moment, though I am happy to share."
[2025/07/17 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that, the leprechaun who you still don't know the name of, disappears into the copse of trees.
[2025/07/17 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Onwards?
[2025/07/17 15:20] Andreas: /me sips the mushroom ale "and he's gone, well, let's move I guess?"
[2025/07/17 15:20] Mecha: /me nods
[2025/07/17 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: The path crests a rise and you see the misty bog stretching to one side, and ahead, an overgrown copse of trees. There's no sign of life.
[2025/07/17 15:20] Sapphire: "Perhaps we'll meet him again."
[2025/07/17 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Got a description here:
[2025/07/17 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: "From the top of a small rise, the view unfolds into a vibrant yet wild landscape; an overgrown copse teems with twisted trees and dense underbrush, their branches entwined like the fingers of ancient giants. To one side, a misty bog sprawls, its murky waters glistening under the pale sunlight, steam curling up from the surface like ghostly fingers beckoning the unwary. In the distance, an old stone tower stands sentinel, its weathered stones crumbling and draped in dark vines, a silent witness to the passage of time. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, yet no sounds disrupt the quiet; it's as if the world has held its breath, leaving only the faint rustle of leaves and the distant echo of forgotten memories haunting this desolate landscape."
[2025/07/17 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, now what?
[2025/07/17 15:24] Mecha: As disturbing as it is Lahli can not help but enjoy the view
[2025/07/17 15:24] Andreas: /me "looks quite ominously, like time stopped there. So we should look for the old druid to get the dayberries"
[2025/07/17 15:24] Sapphire: Te'ala goes quiet, listening and respecting the silence of this sacred place, walking slowly towards the middle, watching the markings on trees and stons for the secret druid signs.
[2025/07/17 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: That would be in the copse of trees.
[2025/07/17 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you walk closer....
[2025/07/17 15:25] Sapphire: She moves to touch Adreas's shoulder. "Use his title, please."
[2025/07/17 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: "As you venture along the narrow trail winding through the dense shrubland, the air thickens with the earthy scent of wet moss and decaying foliage from the nearby swamp, where dark, murky waters glisten ominously. The path is flanked by tangled vines and clusters of hardy shrubs, their thorny branches occasionally reaching out as if to grab you. To your left, the croak of amphibians and the buzz of insects create a cacophony of life amidst the backdrop of chirping crickets. Ahead, the trail narrows further as it approaches an overgrown copse, where ancient trees can be seen to twist and twist together around each other."
[2025/07/17 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, d20
[2025/07/17 15:26] D20: Sapphire rolls 17
[2025/07/17 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: "As you venture deeper into the shrubland, the path narrows, surrounded by dense thickets of scrubby bushes and hardy shrubs, their leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze. The pungent scent of damp earth and decaying vegetation drifts from the murky swamp nearby, its dark waters dotted with lily pads and shrouded in wisps of fog. Ahead, four uprisen stalks sway ominously, their long, whip-like tendrils swaying slightly as if beckoning unwary travelers closer. The air is thick with the buzz of insects, and the distant croaks of frogs provide a discordant harmony to the eerie atmosphere."
[2025/07/17 15:27] Sapphire: Te'ala starts humming a song of greetings, avoiding injecting words into this space that predates such things.
[2025/07/17 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll initiative!
[2025/07/17 15:27] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2025/07/17 15:27] D20: Mecha rolls 9
[2025/07/17 15:27] D20: Andreas rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:27] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you approach, the four uprisen stalks start lashing and slashing at you!
[2025/07/17 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire & Andreas: you get to act first. What do you do?
[2025/07/17 15:29] Sapphire: Unrises are undead or plant type?
[2025/07/17 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: They're vine fronds, sprouting from some central bole or squat trunk
[2025/07/17 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: they -could- be undead plants, admittedly
[2025/07/17 15:30] Sapphire: this sounds like an exelent place for Warp Wood to tie them up into knots
[2025/07/17 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: it does indeed
[2025/07/17 15:32] Sapphire: Te'ala holds her hand out, reaching her druidic power through the mud and air intot he angry vines, tying them together in large bows to allow their passage without doing permanent harm to the defenses of this place
[2025/07/17 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Supposed to affect weapons, but, I'll allow this
[2025/07/17 15:32] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/07/17 15:32] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:32] Andreas: /me looking at those four uprisen "what are those? Haven't seen anything like that. Do you think they are dangerous?"
[2025/07/17 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: One manages to make a saving throw and is unaffected. The other is tied in a large ornate bow, and it writhes about furiously, but, it can't attack now.
[2025/07/17 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas? What are you going to do?
[2025/07/17 15:33] Andreas: /me pulls his dagger out trying to swng one of the uprisen
[2025/07/17 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/07/17 15:34] Sapphire: "They are a vicious, carnivorous plant. The more experienced druids plant them to discourage careless intruders."
[2025/07/17 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 from Sapphire again
[2025/07/17 15:34] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:34] D20: Andreas rolls 15
[2025/07/17 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas stabs a plant! Roll d4
[2025/07/17 15:35] D4: Andreas rolls 2
[2025/07/17 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: You stab the plant. You spill some sap, but, the fronds still attack.
[2025/07/17 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: it's true that some druids use certain plants to keep intruders away, but... you notice these plants aren't exactly -natural- plants.
[2025/07/17 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Plants attack next.
[2025/07/17 15:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2025/07/17 15:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2025/07/17 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: One hits Andreas, the other just misses Lahlia
[2025/07/17 15:36] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/07/17 15:36] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/07/17 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas: whipped for 1 point of damage, stung for another point of damage.
[2025/07/17 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lahlia?
[2025/07/17 15:37] Andreas: /me "damn plants .... I won't be eaten by them" ... tries to get further away from the plants
[2025/07/17 15:37] Mecha: *Mistress... It's Lahli, not Lahlia.*
[2025/07/17 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll send you to LaLa Land in a minute! What you doing?
[2025/07/17 15:38] Mecha: Lahli is gonna swing her mace at the one that tried to hit her
[2025/07/17 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2025/07/17 15:38] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: solid hit... d6 for damage
[2025/07/17 15:39] D6: Mecha rolls 4
[2025/07/17 15:39] Andreas: 0_0
[2025/07/17 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: You give the plant a good thump. It still is attacking!
[2025/07/17 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, Andreas, you're up, what you doing?
[2025/07/17 15:40] Sapphire: how many threatening plants?
[2025/07/17 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: One, rather battered-looking
[2025/07/17 15:41] Sapphire: "Stand down," she commands in the druid tounge. "Retreat to your master and inform him of visitors."
[2025/07/17 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: The plant doesn't seem to respond to this; in fact, it now seems aggravated and focuses on you!
[2025/07/17 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Why is this? Why ask me. Find out - if you can!)
[2025/07/17 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas?
[2025/07/17 15:43] Sapphire: (curious )
[2025/07/17 15:43] Andreas: /me exchanges his dagger with spear, turns around to see where he's about to fall back before moving away from the plants so they can't attack him. Tries to stab one of the plants with spear.
[2025/07/17 15:43] Sapphire: She has a shield for a reason though
[2025/07/17 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Andreas
[2025/07/17 15:44] D20: Andreas rolls 16
[2025/07/17 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: solid hit! D6 for damage
[2025/07/17 15:44] D4: Andreas rolls 4
[2025/07/17 15:44] Andreas: ah d6 okay sec
[2025/07/17 15:44] D6: Andreas rolls 2
[2025/07/17 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you drive the spear in, there's a spray of sap in all directions, and the fronds go -bezerk-, bitchslapping everything in range
[2025/07/17 15:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2025/07/17 15:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/07/17 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Te'ala dodges the slapping fronds
[2025/07/17 15:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2025/07/17 15:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2025/07/17 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: As does Andreas
[2025/07/17 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The fronds flail wildly, and then collapse, lifeless and inert.
[2025/07/17 15:46] Andreas: /me "freaking plants, I guess I rather gonna try to run because we can't set this in fire, or can we" grins while looked bit annoyed
[2025/07/17 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: You kicked their... roots? The way to the grove is now clear.
[2025/07/17 15:48] Sapphire: "We're in a bog, everything here is full of water. Fire would struggle to take hold."
[2025/07/17 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: on to the grove?
[2025/07/17 15:50] Sapphire: Yes, but slowly, and humming greetings as they go.
[2025/07/17 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: And you find...
[2025/07/17 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: "The grove lies hidden within a thick tangle of ancient trees, their gnarled branches twisting skyward like bony fingers, shrouded in a vibrant, emerald undergrowth. Wildflowers, once meticulously tended, now bloom in chaotic bursts of color, mingling with creeping vines that choke the once-proud stone altar at the grove's center, adorned with moss and lichen. Weathered wooden benches, half-consumed by the earth, are entwined with roots that seem to pulse with a forgotten magic. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, while the whispers of the breeze echo remnants of long-lost chants. Scattered remnants of druidic symbols carved into the trees, now faded and obscured, tell tales of rituals that have not been practiced in a century, leaving the grove steeped in an eerie yet serene stillness, a forgotten sanctuary of nature's raw beauty reclaiming its domain."
[2025/07/17 15:53] Andreas: /me looks at Te'ala "do you know what these are? Are we safe or in trouble?"
[2025/07/17 15:54] Mecha: Lahli look curious about it as well
[2025/07/17 15:54] Sapphire: "It's beautiful," she replies without answering the question.
[2025/07/17 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's immediately, blindingly obvious, no die roll required, that this place has long... long... LONG been abandoned.
[2025/07/17 15:55] Mecha: ... Well shit
[2025/07/17 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: But! Mecha, you've not done much, roll a d20
[2025/07/17 15:55] D20: Mecha rolls 11
[2025/07/17 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, you find a battered old scroll case. It rattles a little, there's something in it.
[2025/07/17 15:56] Mecha: Lahli opens it carefully
[2025/07/17 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: There is indeed a scroll inside!
[2025/07/17 15:57] Sapphire: "Though. This places warden has not come to greet us. Were I the master of this place I would have... well. I might or might not have approached. But I would have taken notice."
[2025/07/17 15:57] Mecha: Lahli goes with the impulse and unrolls it
[2025/07/17 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: You unroll the scroll. There, in ornate Gothic handwriting, is a message.
[2025/07/17 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Players. This is a good spot for a CLIFFHANGER! (Signed) Sonja."
[2025/07/17 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!
[2025/07/17 15:58] Andreas: ofc :)
[2025/07/17 15:58] Mecha: LOL
[2025/07/17 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: we'll pick up this mystery next week. Sapphire is probably aware that there's more to this than meets the eye
[2025/07/17 15:59] Andreas: this was fun, except those hungry plants I don't like hungry plants and chickens, I mean big chickens, big and hungry and bloodthirsty chickens especially.
[2025/07/17 15:59] Sapphire: :O
[2025/07/17 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, that's the cliffhanger :P
[2025/07/17 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got two sexy girls to protect you from plants and demonic chickens :P
[2025/07/17 16:00] Mecha: So the plants are a mean green mother from outer space, and it's bad
[2025/07/17 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, hope you like it so far.... and the mystery that's to come
[2025/07/17 16:01] Mecha: It is fun
