[2026/08/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: I forgot to do the logs.
[2026/08/02 15:00] Jassie: its fine
[2026/08/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: But! You're in a Swamp... you've had two lovely encounters and decided to Show Mercy to a monster that attacked you all
[2026/08/02 15:00] Jassie: i didnt, but sapph did
[2026/08/02 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out od the way.... GGGRRREEEEETTTTTIIINNNGGSSS Adventurers! Other players get to play Dragon Heist or The Dragon Goddess modules, you get to crawl around in a swamp playing The Great Slime Adventure
[2026/08/02 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out of that way, you're still in the swamp
[2026/08/02 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: someone roll 1D6
[2026/08/02 15:02] D6: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/08/02 15:02] Sapphire: ok, back
[2026/08/02 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20
[2026/08/02 15:03] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2026/08/02 15:03] Sapphire: you meant me, yes?
[2026/08/02 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire notices nothing out of the ordinary
[2026/08/02 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess everyone else notices nothing either?
[2026/08/02 15:05] Jassie: can we all roll?
[2026/08/02 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure
[2026/08/02 15:05] D20: Jassie rolls 3
[2026/08/02 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie hears some low yipping and yapping
[2026/08/02 15:05] Jassie: sounds like a doggo?
[2026/08/02 15:05] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2026/08/02 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure, if doggos complain about "effing swamps" and "whys can't Emberclaws fly in" and "we's lost in this place" and "shush, I smell humens"
[2026/08/02 15:06] Jassie: so what does it sound like lol
[2026/08/02 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: sounds like that ^ ^
[2026/08/02 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/08/02 15:07] Jassie: oh
[2026/08/02 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Sapphire, while we wait for Mecha
[2026/08/02 15:08] Mecha: Rolled a 14 so...
[2026/08/02 15:08] Jassie: i think i know, "ladies, we might have kobolds in the vicinity.."
[2026/08/02 15:08] Sapphire: are those voices we recognize?
[2026/08/02 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: individually? No. Generally? "Yipping/yapping" imples kobolds
[2026/08/02 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, what now?
[2026/08/02 15:10] Jassie: maybe we can try and sneak by
[2026/08/02 15:10] Mecha: Still spitting swamp muck from my mouth and upon hearing that I smile suddenly in the mood to hurt some Kobolds.
[2026/08/02 15:10] Jassie: oh boy
[2026/08/02 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2026/08/02 15:10] Sapphire: Going to move stealthily. "How many?" she whispers to the rest of the party.
[2026/08/02 15:11] Jassie: "maybe we should avoid getting into too many scuffles now?" looks at the rest?
[2026/08/02 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh come now, what harm can a handful of kobo... Oh.
[2026/08/02 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me realizes who the party is
[2026/08/02 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, what's the plan?
[2026/08/02 15:13] Sapphire: we've only heard, not seen these bolds?
[2026/08/02 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: heard, so far
[2026/08/02 15:13] Mecha: avoid is good break them to pieces if need be
[2026/08/02 15:13] Sapphire: We should follow from a distance and figure out what they're looking for
[2026/08/02 15:13] Jassie: nods
[2026/08/02 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: technically you already know what they're looking for
[2026/08/02 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: The yipping and yapping gets louder. You hear them stumbling through the water that soaks the ground.
[2026/08/02 15:15] Jassie: "damn we might have company." how sneakily can we get away fast?
[2026/08/02 15:15] Sapphire: they're looking for.... *thinks*
[2026/08/02 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: in a swamp?
[2026/08/02 15:15] Mecha: We're in a swamp I think moving fast will cause splashing and alert them.
[2026/08/02 15:15] Sapphire: the power gems, if i recall?
[2026/08/02 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...for "some fabled gem od great power"
[2026/08/02 15:16] Sapphire: Sapphira is going to try and get just close enough to determine how many there are. is this like a trio or closer to a dozen?
[2026/08/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three kobolds suddenly appear. They look shocked for a moment, then reach for the daggers at their belts. "Let's get 'em, boys!"
[2026/08/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll initiative
[2026/08/02 15:17] Jassie: sigh
[2026/08/02 15:17] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/08/02 15:17] D20: Jassie rolls 10
[2026/08/02 15:17] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/08/02 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/08/02 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looks like Mecha is first in any case... what you doing?
[2026/08/02 15:19] D20: Sapphire rolls 15
[2026/08/02 15:20] Sapphire: Emily is gonna work on getting her daggers ready too, in her off hand with her main free for casting.
[2026/08/02 15:20] Mecha: Jumping one and dunking it under the water until the bubbles stop.
[2026/08/02 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay...
[2026/08/02 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you sure you want to do that?
[2026/08/02 15:20] Mecha: She's in a very bad mood
[2026/08/02 15:21] Sapphire: if it works it's strong, yes?
[2026/08/02 15:21] Sapphire: the other two bolds might have something to say about the plan
[2026/08/02 15:21] Mecha: Yes because it's violent and it will show the other kobolds that this is not a good time to pick a fight.
[2026/08/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's efficient and likely to work, and there's slapstick
[2026/08/02 15:21] Mecha: this isn't slapstick this is her letting out her rage
[2026/08/02 15:22] Mecha: by drowing an enemy without remorse
[2026/08/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, make an attack roll, must hit AC 10
[2026/08/02 15:22] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2026/08/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: it'll escape if it rolls under 11
[2026/08/02 15:22] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2026/08/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Grabbed, pulled down, it wriggles free!
[2026/08/02 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: the explanation definitely helps, but, dice gods say no
[2026/08/02 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: The other two aren't going to let this stand. They try to stab Talia
[2026/08/02 15:23] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/08/02 15:23] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 17
[2026/08/02 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: one actually suuceeds
[2026/08/02 15:24] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/08/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can walk that off later
[2026/08/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/08/02 15:25] Jassie: going to cast command on the strongest looking one, and point at the one that attacked Talia saying, "Kill!"
[2026/08/02 15:25] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/08/02 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Failed save.
[2026/08/02 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/08/02 15:26] Jassie: finally something goes the way i want
[2026/08/02 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: had to happen, sooner or later
[2026/08/02 15:27] Sapphire: If the kobold is stabbing Talia then they have their back turned to me, correct?
[2026/08/02 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: not necessarily
[2026/08/02 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: what have you in mind?
[2026/08/02 15:28] Sapphire: between two kobolds, at least one should be distracted enough to stab in the back, yeah?
[2026/08/02 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you're not a rogue, for one, and they're both in front, roughly, so, an attack at normal chances
[2026/08/02 15:29] Sapphire: darn
[2026/08/02 15:30] Sapphire: Will pass a dagger to my main hand and wind up, throwing the blade to try and hit the kobold from a distance
[2026/08/02 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll D20
[2026/08/02 15:31] D20: Sapphire rolls 9
[2026/08/02 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: that'd hit AC 9.... the kobolds are AC 7
[2026/08/02 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: hope you weren't particularly attached to that dagger
[2026/08/02 15:32] Jassie: man
[2026/08/02 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back to Mecha!
[2026/08/02 15:32] Sapphire: ah yes, the swamp....
[2026/08/02 15:32] Mecha: is the one that hit the one being controlled?
[2026/08/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me tries to follow that
[2026/08/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...no?
[2026/08/02 15:33] Mecha: the one that hit me the one Jassie is controlling
[2026/08/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...yes?
[2026/08/02 15:33] Jassie: nah i said another to attack the one u fighting
[2026/08/02 15:33] Mecha: okay then going for the one Talia tried to drown and pulling the sword for an attack.
[2026/08/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll D20
[2026/08/02 15:34] D20: Mecha rolls 10
[2026/08/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit... roll D8
[2026/08/02 15:35] D8: Mecha rolls 8
[2026/08/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: bloody hell
[2026/08/02 15:35] Jassie: nice
[2026/08/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: not so much "hit" as "sliced in fucking half"
[2026/08/02 15:35] Sapphire: all that blood in the water.... hope it doesn't attract sharks
[2026/08/02 15:35] Mecha: lol
[2026/08/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: kobold gives Jassie a quick nod
[2026/08/02 15:35] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2026/08/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: He thrusts his dagger at the other kobold, but, can't hit for shit
[2026/08/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other kobold stabs at Talia
[2026/08/02 15:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/08/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: with about equal success
[2026/08/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/08/02 15:36] Jassie: LOL
[2026/08/02 15:37] Jassie: i just take my warhammer and shield and smash the jaw of the one not in control for now
[2026/08/02 15:37] D20: Jassie rolls 15
[2026/08/02 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...why the jaw...
[2026/08/02 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d4
[2026/08/02 15:38] Jassie: to break it
[2026/08/02 15:38] Jassie: hehe
[2026/08/02 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2026/08/02 15:39] D4: Jassie rolls 1
[2026/08/02 15:39] Jassie: ewww
[2026/08/02 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: You break his jaw. He staggers back, spitting blood and teeth.
[2026/08/02 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/08/02 15:39] Jassie: its something
[2026/08/02 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's definitely something
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sapphire: Moving up to stab in a way that won't lose my daggers probably
[2026/08/02 15:40] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sapphire: ugh
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: well
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sapphire: trying to conserve spell slots sucks
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: you don't lose the dagger
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe play your strength, and don't fight one hand behind your back
[2026/08/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back to Mecha!
[2026/08/02 15:42] Sapphire: my strength is already thinned from previous fights....
[2026/08/02 15:42] Mecha: Swrod to the one with the broken jaw.
[2026/08/02 15:42] Mecha: Sword even
[2026/08/02 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20
[2026/08/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: in your own time...
[2026/08/02 15:44] D20: Mecha rolls 8
[2026/08/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit
[2026/08/02 15:44] D8: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/08/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll ... well, it's dead.
[2026/08/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last one runs away!
[2026/08/02 15:45] Mecha: isn't the last one still controlled by Jassie?
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie? Sapphire?
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Command: Duration 1 round.
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sapphire: ....one last dagger throw at the fleeing one.
[2026/08/02 15:45] D20: Sapphire rolls 5
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sapphire: gah!
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sapphire: "Gonna take ages to find those again."
[2026/08/02 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: gah indeed
[2026/08/02 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2026/08/02 15:46] Jassie: proceeds to smash the last one with a blow from above
[2026/08/02 15:46] Mecha: can I throw a rock at it?
[2026/08/02 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've had this rounds' action
[2026/08/02 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20 Jassie
[2026/08/02 15:47] D20: Jassie rolls 7
[2026/08/02 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d4
[2026/08/02 15:47] D4: Jassie rolls 4
[2026/08/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Loud CRACK. It dies in a fit of agony.
[2026/08/02 15:48] Mecha: Gonna start looting the bodies
[2026/08/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find rocks and a few crude stone daggers.
[2026/08/02 15:49] Mecha: every little bit helps
[2026/08/02 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...you're carrying rocks?
[2026/08/02 15:50] Mecha: I am now
[2026/08/02 15:50] Sapphire: oh hey, replacement daggers
[2026/08/02 15:50] Jassie: is anyone badly hurt?
[2026/08/02 15:50] Sapphire: "I'm fine, so far."
[2026/08/02 15:50] Sapphire: ....which way did that kobold flee?
[2026/08/02 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: do you have a particular reason for carrying a handful of stones?
[2026/08/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: They are not replacement daggers
[2026/08/02 15:51] Jassie: didnt i smash it?
[2026/08/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: quite hard, yes
[2026/08/02 15:51] Jassie: shitty replacement daggers hehe
[2026/08/02 15:51] Mecha: Nope. might be useful later.
[2026/08/02 15:51] Jassie: oh i think im doing the worst, with the concussion
[2026/08/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... you are now encumbered with four small rocks
[2026/08/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Moving on?
[2026/08/02 15:52] Jassie: yes
[2026/08/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: You squish your way onwards
[2026/08/02 15:52] Mecha: Yep
[2026/08/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: or backwards
[2026/08/02 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: or sidewards... you're lost
[2026/08/02 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: must be the mist
[2026/08/02 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: which is getting thicker
[2026/08/02 15:53] Jassie: does it move a certain way? like does it feel alive of sorts?
[2026/08/02 15:53] Mecha: follow the direction the kobolds came from.
[2026/08/02 15:53] Jassie: or someone controlling it?
[2026/08/02 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: until... a figure in leather armour comes striding out, holding a staff
[2026/08/02 15:54] Jassie: knew it!
[2026/08/02 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Figure: "Greetings, strangers, you are wandering about violating Natures' domain. Humans have enough of Britannia under their sway, must you desecrate this place too?"
[2026/08/02 15:54] Sapphire: "We're only visiting, sir. Rather, here to prevent the forces of Emberclaw from finding the power gem they're looking for."
[2026/08/02 15:54] Jassie: /me "We are just trying to pass through this swamp, who might you be kind sir?"
[2026/08/02 15:55] Mecha: Talia keeps her mouth shut at this moment
[2026/08/02 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Figure: "My name is Thalorin. I care not for what troubles the world of men, with their rigid rules and ignorance of natures' ways. Your war, your violence is unwelcome here."
[2026/08/02 15:56] Jassie: "but you must understand that if Emberclaw wins this, this swamp might be burnt to the ground and desecrated either way?"
[2026/08/02 15:56] Jassie: tries to reason
[2026/08/02 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thalorin: "These fell creatures you speak of, this Emberclaws and the kobolds, are not in alignment with Nature. Their chaos and evil isn't welcome here, either."
[2026/08/02 15:58] Jassie: "not being welcome doesn't mean that they wont destroy it if they should be successful in their campaign of sorts."
[2026/08/02 15:58] Sapphire: "So. Neither of us like Emberclaw. That's a point we might be able to come to terms with.
[2026/08/02 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thalorin: "There is only one thing I care about here. Respect this land, and of your two groups, one shall be aided, the other shall be judged."
[2026/08/02 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thalorin turns and starts walking back into the mists
[2026/08/02 15:59] Jassie: "what can we do to show that respect then?" tries say
[2026/08/02 15:59] Sapphire: "I was going to ask the nature of respect you desire."
[2026/08/02 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: He doesn't answer. The mists swallow him... and the mists slowly lift.
[2026/08/02 15:59] Jassie: im guessing he aint there anymore
[2026/08/02 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're in what appears to a vast, vast swamp that goes on... as far as you can see.
[2026/08/02 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: What a cliffhanger!
[2026/08/02 16:01] Jassie: lol
[2026/08/02 16:01] Mecha: Nice.
[2026/08/02 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me reads ahead and chuckles
[2026/08/02 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: next week should be.... amusing :-)
[2026/08/02 16:03] Mecha: Should be. No guarantee it will be
[2026/08/02 16:03] Jassie: well we still stuck in swamp
[2026/08/02 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, I got to dash... up in six
[2026/08/02 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guarantee it will be
[2026/08/02 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: for me :-)
[2026/08/02 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: alright, well done, hope you're having fun... but I gotta run
[2026/08/02 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: laters, victims
