Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/11/26 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: we all ready for a little D&D?
[2024/11/26 15:17] QKR Mecha: /me nods
[2024/11/26 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am now streaming music at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2024/11/26 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's either suitable mood music or my ipod library. Feel free to tune in!
[2024/11/26 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2024/11/26 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last I recall, you were just entering the ant mound, and encountered a room with lots of ant eggs stacked up and a bunch of chatting goblins
[2024/11/26 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that brief reminder out of the way... GGGGRRREETTTTIIINNNNGGGSSSSS Adventurers! Other players get proper recaps, you get a few words flung your way at random.
[2024/11/26 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2024/11/26 15:22] QKR Sapphire: beep
[2024/11/26 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: what are you going to do?
[2024/11/26 15:22] QKR Sapphire: sorry, distracted by the music choice
[2024/11/26 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: highway to hell? Seems right
[2024/11/26 15:22] QKR Sapphire: that....
[2024/11/26 15:23] QKR Sapphire: I was several songs behind apparently
[2024/11/26 15:23] QKR Mecha: Leesha is going to keep close to the others. Her eyes darting to the bugs around
[2024/11/26 15:23] QKR Sapphire: So, our goal was to find the guy, Messing with eggs just angers ants and does not advance our goals
[2024/11/26 15:24] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2024/11/26 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: The ants don't seem to even be interested in you. Seven goblins are busy trying to figure out who has the ugliest mother
[2024/11/26 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: you are at least getting close to finding him
[2024/11/26 15:27] QKR Sapphire: so the goblins are in the anthill too?
[2024/11/26 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: So it would seem!
[2024/11/26 15:28] QKR Mecha: Let's just go, and get through this.
[2024/11/26 15:28] QKR Sapphire: yeah, I don't need to get in an ancestral debate right now
[2024/11/26 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: It looks like there's a way past if you sneak quietly. Should get you to the next little area.. which smells rather... earthy
[2024/11/26 15:30] QKR Mecha: Then let's sneak quietly
[2024/11/26 15:30] QKR Sapphire: initiate sneaky
[2024/11/26 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: A large chamber, with various ants going about with compost and bundles of leaves. You can see the ants that look "normal" are rather few; there's a few with -numerous- growths sprouting from them. And, a number of mushrooms of various sizes here and there.
[2024/11/26 15:32] QKR Mecha: ... Growths?
[2024/11/26 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: mmhmm
[2024/11/26 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: growths.
[2024/11/26 15:33] QKR Mecha: What kind fo growths?
[2024/11/26 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: how are you investigating this?
[2024/11/26 15:33] QKR Mecha: Just looking
[2024/11/26 15:34] QKR Sapphire: Ooooh, neat mushrooms
[2024/11/26 15:34] QKR Sapphire: anything Debben might recognize?
[2024/11/26 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: hard to say. It looks like these particular ants are spouting limbs... antennae... tentacles...
[2024/11/26 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2024/11/26 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll under 14
[2024/11/26 15:34] D20: Alicia Frakture rolls 19
[2024/11/26 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, Leesha doesn't recognize them
[2024/11/26 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2024/11/26 15:35] D20: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 6
[2024/11/26 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: you've not seen these before. They're definitely something unknown to you
[2024/11/26 15:37] QKR Sapphire: spooky
[2024/11/26 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed... everyone roll d%
[2024/11/26 15:37] D10: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6

[2024/11/26 15:37] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2024/11/26 15:37] D10: Kitten Venus rolls 8
[2024/11/26 15:37] D10: Kitten Venus rolls 6
[2024/11/26 15:38] D10: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 6
[2024/11/26 15:38] D10: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 8
[2024/11/26 15:38] QKR Sapphire: one short
[2024/11/26 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha and Dahlia make sanity checks; roll 1d4
[2024/11/26 15:38] D4: Kitten Venus rolls 4
[2024/11/26 15:38] D4: Alicia Frakture rolls 4
[2024/11/26 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben fails sanity and rolld d6, the shock of what happens is rather worse for her increasingly frail mind.
[2024/11/26 15:39] D6: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 4
[2024/11/26 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Some of the larger mushrooms have started moving. They even have arms!
[2024/11/26 15:41] QKR Sapphire: "...why are the ants working with plump helmet men?"
[2024/11/26 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three are turning and moving slowly towards you. To give you a sense of scale, these nearly stretch from ground to ceiling, and are easily 10' tall, at least, with one rather bigger one.
[2024/11/26 15:41] QKR Sapphire: oh no
[2024/11/26 15:42] QKR Sapphire: it's *giant* plump helmet men
[2024/11/26 15:42] QKR Mecha: Ummm This is not better than the ants
[2024/11/26 15:42] iKitten din4: /me stays invisible and flying near the party deciding what she can do to help her friends
[2024/11/26 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: who's going to do what? You're suddenly aware... there's... a LOT of mushrooms in this chamber.
[2024/11/26 15:43] QKR Sapphire: "Sorry to bother, we'll be going now."
[2024/11/26 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll initiative, d20, highest goes first.
[2024/11/26 15:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2024/11/26 15:43] D20: Alicia Frakture rolls 1
[2024/11/26 15:44] QKR Mecha: -.-
[2024/11/26 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben, Dina, d20
[2024/11/26 15:44] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2024/11/26 15:44] D20: MidnightMinion Cyberstar rolls 20
[2024/11/26 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's a night of extremes
[2024/11/26 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dina?
[2024/11/26 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: think she got distracted by something shiney
[2024/11/26 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben, is that what you're doing?
[2024/11/26 15:49] QKR Sapphire: yeah, apologizing and shooing the group back out of here
[2024/11/26 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, you retreat to the previous chamber with any eggs and goblins
[2024/11/26 15:50] QKR Sapphire: "This whole place is far weirder than I was ready for."
[2024/11/26 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's an ants' nest... expect wierdness
[2024/11/26 15:51] iKitten din4: /me follows still seeming in thought as she tried to keep up and take in the scene around her
[2024/11/26 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha, roll d20... save vs poison
[2024/11/26 15:51] D20: Alicia Frakture rolls 8
[2024/11/26 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Whoops.
[2024/11/26 15:52] QKR Mecha: Did this one get attacked?
[2024/11/26 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The biggest one sprays an opaque cloud at Leesha. Leesha pauses, looking blank, and settles to sit on a nearby rock, looking blank.
[2024/11/26 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana looks round, tries to pull Leesha, but.... she ain't movin'.
[2024/11/26 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: For a few moments you have extreme confusion, and then you are sure you're smelling colours, hearing sounds and seeing smalls. A voice seems to condense out of this. "Animal... animal... can you hear us...?"
[2024/11/26 15:55] QKR Mecha: Yes.. I can hear you.. who are you?
[2024/11/26 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: "Your presence here is unwelcome. Who we are does not matter. We do not want animals here."
[2024/11/26 15:56] QKR Mecha: IF we can pass through we will be gone. Our presence will be done.
[2024/11/26 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: "You are already here. We see in your mind, many animals. Animals destroy and consume."
[2024/11/26 15:58] QKR Sapphire: Debben tries to help pick up Leesha
[2024/11/26 15:58] QKR Mecha: Right and you don't want us here so if you let us go we wont stay here. Don't wanna destroy here just pas through. preferably safely
[2024/11/26 15:58] QKR Mecha: *Does it seem like Leesha is mumbling to herself?*
[2024/11/26 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hard to say. She's just sitting with a blank, vaguely imbecilic look.
[2024/11/26 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... no real change? *ducks quickly*
[2024/11/26 15:59] QKR Mecha: *So normal, got it*
[2024/11/26 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: "There are too many animals. We live in harmony with the ones you call 'ants'. But other animals are here, you are here. You'll tell others, and more animals will come."
[2024/11/26 16:00] QKR Mecha: How can I prove we wont tell a soul about you
[2024/11/26 16:00] QKR Mecha: I can't speak for the goblins though
[2024/11/26 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: "We... don't know... what are 'goblins'?"
[2024/11/26 16:02] QKR Mecha: You'll know them when you see them. We just seem to see them a lot. but I can promise you we wont say a word.
[2024/11/26 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha: There's a few moments of confusion, of differing opinions. That you should be allowed to pass. That you should be killed, to be on the safe side. The mental confusion passes as the mind(s) withdraw, and you're aware of Katana and Debben trying to move you.
[2024/11/26 16:05] QKR Mecha: We need to leave, now and we tell nobody anything about this place. No Arguments on that one.
[2024/11/26 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Leesha! Who are you talking to?"
[2024/11/26 16:06] QKR Sapphire: "Us, come on, lets get out of here."
[2024/11/26 16:06] QKR Mecha: About leaving? I'm talking to all of you. Let's go
[2024/11/26 16:06] iKitten din4: /me whispers, "Mushroom people dont seem mean at all, but getting out of here sounds like a good idea"
[2024/11/26 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Wait, before we go, this Ragnar? We've come all this way."
[2024/11/26 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: and we'll leave that as our cliffhanger ;)
[2024/11/26 16:07] QKR Mecha: ...
[2024/11/26 16:08] QKR Mecha: Leeshas first time taking Shrooms
[2024/11/26 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: give you a chance to think on -this- one ;)
[2024/11/26 16:08] iKitten din4: /me hugs everyone and is glad the mushroom people dont seem mean :)
