Hexcrawl 82 - The Search for Shrubritney

Artvirious leads Lysander, Sir Parrik, and Flip into the Feywild to find the missing treant druid Shrubritney. There, the servants of the Dewdrop Man take umbrage with the way the kingdom of Upperthorn is building up industry near the Southwood. Floki's heritage as a descendant of the green dragon Mornagauth is also a source of tension for the archfey, and he is confronted with an ultimatum.

D&D nerds go hand in hand let's get started Gents open a can. Hi and welcome to D&D nerds we're down all of our mics at the moment but we think one is on the way so greetings to you wherever you may be it's my birthday happy birthday to me yeah and warm is our caller congratulations thank you what's happening in your domain or in your rooms and teams is is that is worth highlighting well over and Lord things are rough and Lord things are rough especially when you roll badly square square halo yeah she bit it yep and it started the sitting room there's some have explosion which is like in the middle of your complex so is middle front yeah but like you can't get from one side of things to the other without that room being there so you might need to do something about that at some point we'll get there eventually instead you're hard guards we had a bunch of guards yeah but like the cheap terrible kind well that's what we got yes what you got yeah but I got like 20 guys yeah yeah yeah I didn't even maybe they're like from some caravan I came through and they were made anywhere else I don't know what their I mean they're all said spies obviously that's why they're cheap yeah yeah so yeah we did that after a guard post in front for them to accept rhymes to let bad guys in your back into your house probably you know but there we go and then over in upper thorns things also went poorly things also went poorly there were what three ones in a row well not in a row but you had a one a lot one and lower well then four because you had you had one of your loyalty role was a one and then both your agent roles were ones they were both ones they were both ones you won don't bash your hand you won don't sure Brittany which is why we're here tonight that's right I forgot I won both of them yeah and you don't actually know what's happened to either of those people but I do actually I don't need it but we'll roll some dice at some point so there's some fey issues but we don't know why right and if you hadn't rolled all that ones then we'd be narratively somewhere else but here we are you're probably a little or fix it fixing a sitting room or we'd still be dwarves are we still we door yeah I hope we wouldn't have spent the whole session with everybody fixing the sitting room everybody make woodworking tool everyone's gonna go around through parts of town that's right we gotta make sure you get the right curtains bring all the level seven guys for this these curtains match the new furniture exactly okay it would have been you know it would have been it would have been a mood it would have been a mood but it would have been like a first level quest kind of yeah everyone's playing it one of the first little cards right yeah exactly okay so you're are you want to provide a mission brief all right mission brief is there's some fey issues happening tick ticker ton which has been our our body in the past causing trouble over the swordgrass and that's where sure Brittany ran the problems yeah and then we got pixies over near the shrine of the roof causing trouble in goblins and then they keep but they have done before they have done before but soon do you look a little bit overly aggressive for them yeah they keep turning poor basher into other flightless birds yeah it's rude they think it's hilarious yeah to their credit so since there's two these are a row there is the concern of like is this just coincidence is a hag coming back into town what's up best thing to do in the studious phase a sense of unscary arties about the scariest thing there is we have I'm not sure I follow your logic there but okay I don't know yeah so Artie's the muscle yeah and the bad cop but then we got the charisma boys over here so we have both we have you know both means of going and solving problems tonight okay so Rob parrot traveled up for this yeah just you know stretch the legs feels kind of theoretically in his wheelhouse yes yeah the fey connection yeah yeah see what happens narrative new makes sense for the center - yep and being a translator yep who leveled up to a little four and he set 20 Christmas so well we got the riz boys the riz boys yeah and then I think we're getting flip at some point when my care shows I believe so yep okay so what where are you and what kind of equipping do you want to do and where do you think you're gonna go we are in dead wizard okay trying to hang out flow these matching getting the load down the information catching up on all his food general nuisance of yourselves of course about the one boys with me they're definitely eating all this food they follow me around everywhere yeah and just remind me they're tribal warriors my stats yes right okay they're tribal warriors my stats and we're gonna head up towards the sort of rest first okay because that's closest to see what's going on to parrot you bring your altar off yes yeah I'd like to yeah oh it's been a while they yeah so let's yeah bring them all out of retirement yeah you know parrot he's been hanging out in the castle for a while he doesn't want to eat you know field rations I cannot have someone to set up a tent for him so yeah yeah yeah I guess we're lucky that you didn't bring the whole army yeah he didn't decide to bring the whole army just his entourage okay and moved and apparently a giant raven yeah my question was did you ride winter did you ride your raven so I was contemplating giving the the raven to flow key I was thinking about it I don't know but yeah I think I would have rode glint and had the rain and tag along it's not that kind of trained it's not like oh I see right like it is trained as a mound okay it's not like follow me from the skies and don't wander off kind of trained all right maybe I would have left it in the in the way it's clever in the fort then when you're authorized can flow around that's true I guess yeah let's see carpets try that yeah I mean I guess I don't know it seems you won't need it if everybody else is on the ground right yeah well I mean Paracardi has a mount right so yeah that's why I was kind of thinking about giving it to flow key flow key never adventures so that also doesn't do right so yeah maybe I'll just leave it at the fort and worry about it another time okay we'll figure out another time okay all right I'll just binglin yeah she ripplin okay yeah all right parties like there's twos tears yeah yeah how do you how does how to listen to Rick get low let's uh overall his reaction roll you know you figure out how you feel about that he likes you okay I mean that must be the charisma talking yeah I mean I think I think Lysander is is open to every anybody to be friends with anybody did he did he come locally or did he come from the farewell works it was a farewell okay well but theoretically at some point so great so right they may well have already known each other I thought that we can do are they in fact brothers not brothers neither their visions cedar family trees get complicated enemies turn friends they've had a string of the same girlfriends sure so they've been rivals but not really because they're also like great wingman for each other okay cool yeah yeah total work good yeah okay so you're in dead wizard and you're headed towards the sort of grass patch mm-hmm we don't need any special equipment or we know we know who the healer is I guess that's we are a bard so I guess it's both of us kind of right we have just don't get really worried we have it is can we don't have a proper proper healer yeah that's okay we have with some healing ability yeah yeah I can do some healing too yeah I guess you're the face but we like you said we do have you guys are kind of face yeah okay he's the tracker in the situation we don't need any like special weather gear or Dungeniering gear right okay not you know if very fire here we were lost right okay and we don't know like the names of any NPCs were tik-tik-tik-tok oh that's right that's right pixies one through 75 probably so we don't know other names wasn't there were two of them right there was there was a pixing in a fairy dragon it was a great I think yeah so tik-tik-tik-tok is it is a great in there was oh I thought he was a fairy dragon no tik-tik-tok is is great oh okay the fairy dragon was also there but you haven't seen that since like such two we're a long time ago yeah no we we saw him in the woods and I got very very angry and Nick met because he killed a bear cub that was tik-tik-tok oh okay wasn't it I thought it was both of them it could be both of them all right that was also quite a long time ago it was quite a while ago I thought it was the fairy dragon all right tik-tik-tok well this might be trouble a little grasshopper man I know my frogs I mean or it could be real resolved real quick yeah I realized that things go south or sideways in this there's a contingent that be very happy the other contingent of the electric party tonight sorry said again there's a contingent that would be very happy about even the other part of the electric party tonight well yes right you in the woods will eat anything yeah well there's like a bad person several people and some good people yeah are you in fact just luring part of the party into the woods where no one can see you murder anything I play the fifth mm-hmm okay well watch out for that I guess perk yeah last time last time I was here I dropped dosis and the top of his staff broke off so I brought I brought dosis the value that's right yeah I still need to fix already spear one day here you go why don't we do it right now I'll end up with a spear glue to my finger for the rest of the night you know do I get do I get tokens from oh you're you want wilderness travel tokens sure yeah what's your what's your expedition speed so the bully wugs travel at 20 that's slow so they like to take their sweet time unless we go by water than their 40s I mean we can't go from water by water to the swordgrass patch right so we're doing 20s we have planes what are we doing planes yeah it's gonna be so at least it's planes right yeah until we go to the other part whatever the woods and things will slow down but that's the two we are sure and that's okay so 20 I make that eight per watch which gives you 32 per day all right so here we go see if I can have a two so what is I think this is 32 but how do you count when he gets up I'm linted's 48 right I think it is 40 I'm glad you haven't extra special jump but that doesn't come to a movement speed I know but we're all very proud of you I know yes for a lesson it's like being a vegan yesterday and you know I could jump there I'm quite good at bounding he's a vegan - right he's it pretty much it's over yeah but with a Christmas money yeah we still like him when you're nearing but like away from him everybody's like oh that guy something started CrossFit he does all the things so if we break off from the slow people in the future we can move pretty quickly okay we'll be moving at 35 okay that happens but for today you're you're not but we might they can't and we you're a lot news per day all right you can't you don't get to mix your speeds in the day except you know where certain people can perform actions because they're traveling faster than the rest of the party gotcha that you still have to divide your your watches into active and travel all right okay so from Dead Wizard we go to the stone circle okay that is one hex up one hex up and along her river and but that is that that's along a trail to planes I think right yeah it's all planes yeah so it's a planes trail so we charge you I think six without unless you're traveling slow pace to do slow pace things in which case it's 12 now we just go there if for Brittany there the stone circle yeah no she's hasn't come back actually from trying to resolve the issue all right so that's our info from there to learn so from there we will go to the swordgrass patch this would be another six no to swordgrass patch there's no trail okay at least on my my database there's no trailer is it shown as trailed on your screen no it's just there yeah then that will cost you eight nine nine it's not that expensive just turn the pot very real how far away is our final destination I don't know it depends it might be here this is where this is where problems have happened do you want me to give an inspiring speech oh yes well we're here okay yes so we lovely what is it what is the nature of this speech Rob just regarding how we are a capable smart versatile group who can handle the challenges that are before us and don't go on it people like you in a heroic and professional way and looking at you bully wugs yeah and we hope to resolve this conflict without violence and without eating each other and without eating each other when it comes to it we will lay waste to them and and still not eat each other there's plenty of them to eat and don't bring you that's where we're there right unless yeah up to six allies they can see you're here and understand you within 30 feet gains 10 temporary HP 10 okay so we're six the four of us hold on already doesn't need more you don't want 10 extra hit points I mean I'd rather that go to my your brother people oh how many are they there are five of them there's five so I'll do us to glint and two of them and three of them oh three of them yeah up to six allies all right the two that are actually really well statues and the lizard folk I mean that we can say you're picking up flip as an NPC your stone circle all right now okay I like that we'll give him them okay okay with the assumption that Michael eventually right yeah yes these two bully wugs have the extras okay great and do you need the little ring things for are you good no we just know they're the actual party looks okay good okay okay so you're now in sort of guys patch what do you do we're going to set up a camp okay find campsite sure so you're declaring an active watch I'm declaring an active watch how many tips because you like for that you spend eight for that all right and so whatever you want people to be doing it as an active watch now is your time to clear that all right already gonna find a camp move hold on yeah already is gonna find a campsite okay that is a 18 survival okay versus like whatever the where planes are claims are which is easy so yeah sure would like Sir Parach and like Sander it's sorry that's versus now DC or versus forge DC okay yep okay yep okay so we call that choose four options okay between nearby freshwater if you choose a new reference or you may else choose good fishing defensible good grazing plentiful fuel good hunting good foraging or hidden you might choose up to four like hidden okay good water good hunting and they're grazing sure although you you don't have any grazing animals I have my horse okay yeah we don't consider it for your PC's but yeah speaking yeah maybe you're looking for blackberries or something that would be foraging still oh okay not crazy not crazy grazing is like you're ruminants chewing the rats all right I just horses are yeah what shape your teeth they're like a goats oh well then I guess you can grace that's the player they would say they don't fashion so you too okay go out and reconnoiter okay see if you can find you know what the heck's features I know I'm just trying to think see if you can find for Brittany that's perception that's that's not working I don't what would be trying to find it so really it would be outside the hex watch action system okay but you can have them do it as right we can have you make an investigation check as though it were a hex watch action that we don't get your career in a disaster but yeah sure but yeah that's what I like you tight it's you to work on this okay makes an investigation role between the two of you together or individually go together okay my investigation is minus one that's plus one okay so that's 19 okay um you you definitely find where she was it looks like she headed north writerly from here in towards the statue of Kontia all right we will she tracks lead that way return and report okay now that I have a a nice little base here let's see we will spend the night here okay how many how many things you got left over there nine so you could do another what active watch if you want if there are other things you wish to do men you it's lots of options but there is a back if you need some of that all right okay now you did not choose good fishing so if I did not just good water you chose good water good hunting water hunting hidden and crazy okay and other people can can do what some water filling yeah or mostly hand-waving and hand-waving on the water filling but yeah and somebody can be grazing animals okay maybe you're your one horse the one horse yeah I mean normally Rick would graze do that sure right yeah when your bully ones are taking advantage of good water and just like getting wet you're just hanging out you know and but you're going hunting the advantage from the good campsite is not advantage on the honey roll it's not taking disadvantage when not tracking okay cool so he's just gonna go up yes thing yeah rolling that one okay well that is going to what what settler did I yeah who did you kill oh dear no game successfully hunted and rolled e6 six okay no no additional penalty if it had been a one or two you would have triggered wilderness encounter on a three you might have become disoriented none of those things should happen to artists clearly faze unto stuff yeah you do feel you feel let's just say you get confused okay when you wouldn't normally and you you're quick to chop that up to supernatural powers obvious whether or not that's true obviously supernatural all right so to a little bit of most things are supernatural in one way or another I think must be the famous right it's totally the fake all right so you're like okay we will camp here yeah everybody gets a bully we'll go the watch with them okay okay so any giant spiders show up can you inspire every day right last until after the longest is over that's your question yeah the morning breaks with nothing having encountered you all right we break up our camp and go to where they found where she started would you like another inspiring speech well yes please okay yeah same same speech same exact speech maybe not exactly but do you have to roll for the for the hit points or is it just straight tip straight tip it's based on my I think it's based on my Christmas I think so if you're so tracking is it active to find tracks but those have been found there's a slow pace it's a slow pace to follow them all right that's what we're going to do okay so you're going to travel slow pace I think planes to planes yes we're trying to ready tracking should be ready okay all right so that will cost you 15 to travel slowly I see that you were trained to see if his career's not just yours so John you're not fooling anyone oh you're my fire's only four oh I wish mine's fine I guess that's fine so 24 on my traffic okay yeah you have no trouble I mean that she's a tree I know you have no trouble like big root print 12 feet later big root print you know it's like not difficult it's playing so it's like I don't know there's a tree over there that's probably hurt well you get to the you follow them all the way to the statue of cantina which is still there the offering bowl is empty and the tracks end she's not there mid-stride apparently she was snatched and carried away she yeah the tracks end mid-stride it's not like that you know she got there and walked around a bit right okay no like at the statue they end this is going to search around sure everyone search are you looking for clues such that I would call for investigate or are you merely looking to perceive your surroundings and see what I tell you based on that already is going to perceive you're okay then that's the kind of thing I will tell you um you know I'm not going to give you clues by choosing perceive I know you're choosing it for your roles but I'm just I'm just double-checking my favorite enemy stuff sure sure does not help perception 26 okay you astutely perceive everything that is there and you can tell that there have been little tiny footprints sometimes they take a few steps and then they come up and then they take a few steps someplace else you know not concurrently and those tend to center around the statue itself the bowl sniffing the bowl you can smell that there wasn't at some point in the recent past some milk in it uh that you know have you asked to wait to have been days ago at most um and you perceive that the wind here is different than the wind as much as 100 feet away it doesn't seem to be blowing quite the same directions okay what do we have to make an offer blue what what is Kontia the goddess of farming no agriculture yeah I mean it's an old statue of Kontia but it's not necessarily Kontia that's good that you're making the offering too um it tends to be the fate yeah come here okay at least in the past that's been true right although the church of Kontia is as you know down at the farm at the farm fort right uh they like alcohol I should have thought about bringing alcohol with me well you didn't seem to I did possibly you were worried that your building wigs would get into it again and that probably been problematic in the past no they probably did they got enough of that at dead wizard um you're just finally giving them so we're up they get rowdy I would like to say that there are sing songs at the offerings sure should we put some gold in there I mean gold's pretty universal but some gold in there have them sing songs in the bowl how much you got a hundred on me good in ten okay so ten gold in the bowl and you're making a performance check sure yeah okay yeah uh and I will want to know good or bad what your song is about okay oh that's a 23 10 songs about just the beauty of the of the earth and the right miss of the harvest and the beauty of the earth and the rightness of the harvest yeah the rightness of the harvest right how it's just what we need to do to take care of our our north and our people okay you feel like you did well and uh everybody seems to enjoy it even the bullywigs really you find a few of them tapping their feet and uh Rick is obviously dancing he knows Rick there's a dance that goes along with this one right he knows it dances it uh I think that improves the performance well it was part of the 23 yeah okay that seems to have gone well yeah what do you do we're gonna set up a camp here but not like not like all in it on it okay but buy it okay and at what uh sort of distance you'll be like 30 feet off from it all right um the edge of your campus 30 feet off or the center of your campus 30 feet off okay welcome back we had dessert and celebrated my birthday that was nice you discovered that uh strawberry is gone I would like to do my and you performed a song and now you can't well everyone else is sitting up the camp yeah I would like to do my ephemeral tracking do tell which is where I can use my action and I spend one ranger spell slot of second or higher okay I can look at the currents and the air and water and see tracks in them and follow just as it would on the land using survival the tracks in both their water noticing aerial aquatic tracks some creatures who pass nearby in the first hour it's more difficult track you know et cetera et cetera okay uh that's one of the pathfinder feet say sure but what I didn't hear was invisible things unless you left tracks well that's the thing right like invisible things still fly through the air and cause air current disturbances yes so roll I guess um 82 27 yes there are invisible things flying around near the statue okay do you think that their size is small huh and that there are several of them all right also anything within 10 feet of him he has blind sight yes nothing within 10 feet of you unless you're standing within 10 feet of the statue guys there's stuff flying over there it's invisible I'm gonna go check it out why don't you come with me who's everybody's going with you you three okay the bully wugs in the rotators and what not still in the campsite area okay as you approach they back off um in Sylvan I'll say we're looking for our big tree friend uh from behind you uh you hear a little voice say try the forest is that you know you'll see Tigartat now Tigat here flipped genuinely found that hilarious he doesn't even get it he's like no no tractor here he doesn't he doesn't understand jokes yeah he has already since a few reasons there's other trouble in the forest we'll go there next but we need to find our our our druid trebritany where did you do with her make a persuasion check I don't know right okay let me let me see how we're supposed to be helpful these guys are noting that they're pixies I am not persuasive at all doesn't that one on my account yeah they're they're they just laugh go away from you um they think it's funny that you are like not getting the joke does not understand that at all right right yeah but they just find that funnier my charisma people this is what we brought you for we're just trying to persuade them to give us more information about this yeah I can try and talk to them you know fay to fay that's why we brought the actual fay oh yeah you're like the star most fay like uh as you're probably the fourth most fay like they already had this fay touch i thought i'd like that's what he's going to do oh okay no um i'd like this party but it turns out that's a funny thing i say uh please friends we're we're looking for our our tree friend she needs our help oof that was bad ten she don't need your help yeah it's true um i think uh already can you do you want me to hit them with a um fairy fire to let them know we're a little serious let's gonna say you can persuade them still yeah all right good fair fight before you do that flip's gonna say it's not like her to just up and leave that you will get a chuckle out of that yeah her bark is worse than her bite no one groans when they say they're grown territory but but but but we really do want to find her and i'm going to try to roll perception or persuade them okay you guys could help us we'd really appreciate it not 20 and that 20 not 20 all right who's the third most fay now yeah i'm trying to think how they would convey this to you you will get some information um yeah okay so um this little voice like you you feel something a light on your shoulder but you don't you don't see anything right and a little voice says in your ear like um hey do you do you guys work for flokey that is spoiler flokies do we do we know a flokey do i know flokey how big flokey i mean flokey is the ruler of upper thorn where you currently are you would have heard of it do we work for flokey am i connected to flokey i'm asking y'all we we know of flokey yeah i mean everybody knows a flokey but do you guys actually know know him uh yes yeah we we know him you're not going to believe this but yeah and and you work for him with him i mean i i'm more of a free agent but with him fairly yeah sure britney worked for him but he turns out he's bad he's bad so she had to go away oh oh but that's not good well maybe it is good well but if he's bad yeah that's not good yeah yeah and we but we like shabritney yeah can we get so he you should he you should overthrow flokey this okay i think shabritney could help us with that though do you know where she went she went over to the other side no am i ready to go back there i mean we gotta it sounds like we gotta take care of flokey i don't know how we're going to do that but uh something you gotta be this guy probably can do it i'm not going up against flokey you're away you're afraid of flokey i'm not messing i don't don't mess in the affairs of those types i'll find someone over thorough flokey i don't know okay bye okay bye hey wait do you know what the nearest very fairy circle is our face circle is that we can our portal we can use i mean you can try this one if you know how to use it bye okay bye all right there's this this the statue i guess is a portal so yeah let's use it okay fey people let's try to figure out how to make this one work let's do you let's do that has as already already hasn't been to the fey well cuz yeah first adventure oh uh do you remember the chant do i remember the chant yeah you're mr memory no i don't remember the chant we didn't you chant the first yes you know the right you found a you found a uh a portal that didn't need it to go in yeah the the mic garden one you just go into it yeah i think with this one like we're supposed to walk around counterclockwise and there's like a chant that we sing while we do it by camera with words okay well our countercheck then 11 you remember that that's right about going counterclockwise okay and that's three times but you can't remember what you're supposed to say yeah and it's not counterclockwise it's it's something that means counterclockwise but isn't that all right are we ready uh parec noses yes okay uh you're not taking those rooms notes for example uh i mean parec would know how to get to the fey well yeah um so we we're taking everybody in the fey world well that's the question is uh everyone let's go who else just you you lot extended party are you bringing bullywugs into the fey wild with all the bad things that could happen to that we will go as as an aside of player to gm what's most manageable for your situation do we just go core command crew or do you want us to bring everyone in i mean if if he brought his whole whole army that would be a bit much but if it's if it's just u4 plus five bullywugs that's manageable and the retainers the um they're just flavor okay well yeah that's not really a problem any as long as you have minis for everyone if we need them yep all right we're all going in or if you if but remember that i yeah i mean weird things happen in the right things happen in the fey wild and not everybody who goes in is the same when they come out right and so if that's a problem for you and your NPCs then like you are aware of the possible consequences there sometimes it's awesome sometimes it's awesome yeah maybe my horse will get to start talking never great i try not to repeat things too much well a lot a lower member of the horse he was a gift from the unicorn goddess that's true now switch out reform nightmare yeah no i'm aware all right that creates interesting things first of his name so we go around in the circle so uh peric will uh ride glance hold his lance above his head uh the i think the lore is a stick or a wand above your head but we'll try the lance and just see what happens three turns witter shins and off we go oh right around the oh yeah the statue and save up okay uh you find yourselves in a uh a field um with pink grass and it is uh morning and uh there is do all over the grass shining in the sunshine just like i remember it i've never seen this place before do the grass yeah since you drop man hanging out with us uh you don't see anyone else all right um gonna look for some tracks okay 24 you are confident there are no tracks here huh um as soon as gonna do we just get tricked into the faywell you are in the faywell yeah but tricked to go into it well she might be here right well the yeah her tracks left mid you know step so i mean either she's here or like i was joking before she got snatched and carried off by something i i think it's i think she's probably here that's a pretty safe bet i think uh less entered much is on the grass pink grass cuz cuz speaking okay it's done by eating the faywild it's full of choice um he's got a fay let's just see where this goes could you roll for me at d-hundred? 62 well yeah like your um your your front teeth they get like longer like gravity okay nice that's not bad yeah it actually helps you eat it okay you you seem to quickly adapt to uh the necessary okay yeah you find it even easier to eat the normal grass nice is there anything about the spot we're in that marks it as a portal like bushroom rain or no you appear to be in the in the middle of a field there are some rolling hills nearby not really even any trees there are you know a few small plants that aren't grass but there's nothing in particular about this spot that seems to have set it apart other than the fact that you're standing in it all right i haven't met this for but i don't think she's here probably need to go somewhere let's head towards the hills that's any direction oh any direction but it looks like okay let's go we all go into different directions what's the highest point that we can see let's head that direction do you have to get up yeah i mean they're all roughly the same um so roll the d6 for your hex direction if you like four okay um well yeah right according to if if it is in fact morning and the sun is in the east then you're headed south if all of those things are true all right all right we go that way okay um and we do a spotting no no most hex actions don't apply in very well right directions are weird here um but give me a second i need to pull up a map here okay any other creatures around like birds or um in the distance it sounds like there are birds but nothing is immediately with you those grasses delicious oh that's the other thing is it tastes sugary hmm it's like almost like uh concinity okay yeah hand or a fist i'm just same versus cavities okay yep um can each of you describe your emotional state for me i think arty's wary is that right he doesn't have the same but he's probably frustrated um peric uh i'm gonna say uh a little trepidacious because he was told to go to the mortal realm for a while so now that he's here he's like wait am i making it you're like done yeah like yeah like like am i violating an order i was given by the court wait a second oh well so yeah yes so trepidacious yes okay a word uh worry let's yeah cautious maybe maybe cautious is better than worried but if uh yeah uh what about uh less ender so noting that there's not many creatures around that makes them a little uneasy but he's also just enjoying this grass and you know he feels you know he's someone at home as well he's it's a weird home he knows that so he's not feeling wary necessarily but he's also not a completely at ease but he's enjoying his time all right he he feels something akin to um jack scullington's first visit to christmas town uh wonder i need you to roll a d8 and you to roll a d8 okay it's a date eight four okay so um you find a golden a corner on the ground whoo while you're delighting in all the things that you find um yours was a four yes uh there is um a rock nearby that looks like it's frowning at oh i'll go over to it and frown back that happens man yeah um so let me know if you do anything with your old makeup okay um i'm gonna hold up and go isn't this this great you should like plant it should i plant it here or should i plant it we're gonna bring it back here no i think he should bring it back in pranic the mortal realm to what happens what if that's from oh okay he's lost it she's a tree trees come from those maybe it made her younger when she come back here hmm and gold interesting maybe you haven't lost it oh what do you guys think i really like this i i vote bring it back to the mortal realm okay all right um so you had you had the direction you're you think you're going um which you think is south roughly south um there are you do start to encounter as you come over the rise of a hill and look back that it is more um there's still do on the ground but it's uh the grass is no longer pink and it's a little bit more mossy uh and muddy even in spots do i see any tracks and anything with a 11 no not really okay continue along okay because we don't know where to go so one way is as good as another that's right as the chapter pet said um okay uh so after a little while after a while you come to what seems like a well it's it's ringed by stone and there's water in it it's about 10 feet in diameter and it uh actually rises above ground level so let me just see about how much what's this um so it's actually it from where you from where you are it actually looks like a small building because it's actually like 16 feet uh the it's a 16-foot ring of stone for you so it looks kind of like a sign up how do you get up to the top well he flies oh well there's that so in terms of scouting that's that's the usual movement character in the party but it's a well uh yeah so like a giant giant bucket well uh we established i'm going to jump over here can you jump 16 feet up you might be able to hear usually all right actually already can probably jump that high just from strength because it's like ridiculous it is insane the amount of jumping that characters can do in fifth edition from a stand it's still i jump 16 feet up so let's say parrot is kind of from where you're at going up a little bit to see that that's what it is that that um there is water in there up to some you know up to maybe five feet below the top but there are also several wisps floating above it oh and they rise up and and sort of they're not coming towards you but they're sort of they've noticed you right and so they're now they're kind of swirling above their water a wisp killed parrot what's about it times i don't get too close i'll report that to arty do you talk to them oh uh sure i can try yeah in selvan i'll uh say hello are you the guardians of this well uh they can speak uh and in selvan they answer you back and say that yes they're bound to the well but they ask you to identify yourself and state your intentions i'm serparic omlai princeling of the eastern winds and night of the green lord oboron i hail from mythrendane the slow autumn city uh our intention is that uh we are seeking a friend a triad who may have come this way uh do you think you might have seen her no uh but i suspect if she came this way that she is uh either with the do drop man or with one of his servants hmm do you can you direct us to the home of the do drop man we may not leave the well but if you continue in the direction you're going you should reach a road eventually and if you follow the road the right direction whichever that is you should reach you should reach well either his manner or no no probably probably not his manner but somebody somebody ought to help you nice that's easy okay uh is it your duty to prevent uh the drinking of the water and the well uh no you may drink from this well but uh it might not affect everyone the same okay probably safer for you than for them uh thank you for your assistance uh yeah tell over on we said hi when i see him i will it does this well have a name no okay all right we'll head on along our way to this road all right we drink yeah i i pass but if anyone else wants to do our nose like farewells go either really good or really bad yeah i could drink do you bring me uh okay i can't reach the water can you bring you some uh can i can you climb i'll okay fuck it i i sometimes if you touch things they things get weird here and i how about i how about a grappling hook the side of the well and you could climb up okay could you could you just bring me up uh oh i guess well i guess i could i have 20 strength i don't know it's a lot of flapping but you get there eventually okay all right i'm like see isn't this way easier than climbing for you okay we got there and i i cup somewhat or i guess you have to like lower me in if it's by a few below the top it's i'll i'll use the bucket and get some water and drink it okay world game four uh you have a vision of a tall thin gaunt man with listening skin uh as listening with the morning do okay uh who um watches you uh and sees uh it seems to look into your soul and you see him like in the vision he like reaches into you and pulls out like a thing that represents you and but what you see him pull out is in fact a blank slate and he regards it quizzically and then puts it back in you okay do i get this then you are are back where you're with your friends okay you're like wow that was refreshing all right hey when you see him you should call him the moist man he loves that he yeah i'm sure he's fond of that just just throw it out all right i'll get us back to the ground this is a lot of fun i didn't spend a lot of time with kathara lily and boy is she serious we continue okay i don't stand by oh you have 10 temporary points by the way when you were in npc i inspired you this day just keeps getting okay uh well i'm rolling g12 please 10 and a d4 please three i don't know what that smile means so uh in the distance you you hear um you hear a commotion you head towards it or away from it head towards it okay that's what heroes do yeah soon you see uh regal uh tall fey looking beings writing stags uh wearing um flowing uh cloaks of autumn leaves and uh they have uh they have some uh blink dogs and other hounds uh in front of them and but they they look important this is the wild and as as they ride uh behind them the the grass gets a little um browner and it just feels like a shift from a shifting to autumn oh cool and they uh they stop and light the stag lord helmet too okay uh they stop and regard you all um and you can make like uh check with advantage to know what like a wisdom check with advantage to know like what the proper protocol for you is and sing for you and you can make it without advantage and you can't make it at all actually you can roll with this advantage what's what's the skill on this again it's just wisdom uh check okay like you know that like proper thing for you to do is first is bow okay and then like wait to be spoken to oh that's for you that's the right thing to do as a knight okay john will do 15 you also feel that that would be appropriate for you modify 20 you uh know that you should turn away and not look at them okay eight you have uh you have no idea what the protocol ought to be in so you're just gonna act like you normally wouldn't probably talk to them which is what he would probably normally do right right okay so uh are you what is your action i will uh dismount glinton bow okay your action also center hold to the bell i will turn away from them but i'm near enough to parrot that as he gets off i'll go is that your parents okay and you or stride right up and start talking um i mean i'm definitely looking at them that's great arnie's room will admit all of my dogs and i'm like not a trump chair hunt we are looking for a friend silence mortal degenerate and uh one of them uh actually someone in the he like motions at you and off the the back of uh of a stag hops a rabbit person the heron gone uh but he's dressed him like ceremonial autumn autumn colored robes druidic looking robes and he like comes up to you with his staff and he like looks at you you doing anything doing anything looking back at him yeah he uh he looks back at the at the regal fade on on the stag and who nods and he like uh takes a like a hunk of beeswax out of his pocket and like rubs it on the top of his staff per second and then like moves your helmet up you good no and touches it to your forehead all right tell me if you're preventing him he's backing off as soon as he's trying to touch him uh okay um it's uh an initiative i was going to say uh uh bless him and it says lord lord may may speak uh you may uh i want to speak in behalf of our party member here he's not familiar with with the protocols yes people he is immortal and degenerate he means has been noted he means no no disrespect he doesn't know better than he shall be marked okay you remarked it's cool so is the honey comes up towards them it's not honey it's it's it's uh it's wax that's been kind of put on the front of a staff and the staff has like a symbol a runic symbol he's gonna mail you put a wax in it i'm rolling this one with disadvantage okay no i just want to do whatever i do okay all right i'm trying i was trying as it comes up he's gonna try to eat it the staff the the wax he's just gonna kind of put his literally tongue out and kind of figure out what's going on smell it with your Jacobson's story stop making things up okay uh roll roll roll something roll or something 17 okay you flick your tongue onto it and it uh tingles in a good way do you like but not really no it's kind of like okay now he now he's moving your helmet up pressing into your forehead it tingles hard for a few seconds and then he removes it and then he has this like rune on his forehead okay that's cool puts his hat helmet back on yep looks good man um thank you right on and then they they start writing right on they're going past this yeah yeah so it's now fall where you are okay as they go past this he realizes that he can see them again he's like oh no oh hey real who was that uh i presume they were from the same city i'm from the threndane um i didn't recognize them personally they bring the fall they're just doing the job all right keep going towards the road okay can i get this thing off my head okay and you feel uh you feel um uh what's the word when you like put something on a horse so that it doesn't uh go very far hobble hobble you feel hobble yeah i don't think you're meant to hmm you've been ruined but eventually you find uh that the after what seems like a few hours sun doesn't seem any higher though um you come across what seems like the remains of a road and you're coming at it sort of perpendicular so you can go kind of right or kind of left well he said to go the right way so we'll go right okay unless i see tracks that tell me i should go a different way um 19 um there are tracks leading both directions okay any of them are treated i mean none of them are treated all right we'll go right okay i hear there's a coin toss where you would say none of them were like 12 of them yeah all of them this is the tran road okay um eventually you see uh yourself coming towards a kind of a tower but it's like a slanty tower all right maybe that's his house so um yeah so as you get there it's it's a big crumbling stone tower um but it's it's it's very lean like more than the leaning tower piece it's like at such an angle that it it shouldn't have not fallen over um and uh black rambles surround the base of it and cling to its lower half um and then hanging from the correlations on the lower side of the tower's peak is a large woven basket at the end of a tangled ropes and tattered fabric uh the baskets like they're if you eat them out the the floor or the ground hey parrot go look in the basket uh okay like a look uh basket is big enough for several people to be in but and it has a a small leather satchel in it i will pick up the satchel okay look in it okay colorful clothing uh and a variety of personal goods are inside uh you hold up some lacey undies just look turns around again it's like embarrassing you can't tell if they're for men or for women or either i will uh just unisex lacey undies well does does the basket it doesn't like race in the lower or something i mean think it what you and i would call a hot air balloon basket oh i see and the remains of a hot air balloon oh oh are in the correlations i guess that um yes you understand the picture but this is not a device that your character would have ever would have any familiarity i that okay so you doesn't know that that's what that does but i'm just to help you picture the scene that's what we're talking about in a sense okay i'll take the satchel and and it's already here here's your satchel this is in there go through it and see what's in there a variety of colorful clothing including the aforementioned lacey undies and a brush and a small mirror with the uh the handle has a kind of a floral pattern to it oh okay well the lacey kind of wears or diffied up amongst the bully won't wear yes one of them starts wearing those on let's see what part of his art or bands or like that we know how long have it wait for this he he uh he's um he kind of has to rip the the middle out and put it all on one leg but he's wearing it as kind of a leg yeah it's like nice here you're like pretty or something out of this mirror all right uh can we approach in towards the tower oh well um is somebody yelling why are you taking it? yeah um there's like a um a cry from the the top of the the tower of of like a hey you there uh i could use your help what is it uh you um you see what looks like a small dragon multi-colored dragon no wings no okay uh says i could use your help sir uh i'm sorry sir i don't know your name uh what can i do for you? uh uh i'm in a bit of a bind as you can see uh i was uh i was flying uh uh i have no flight of my own but i can fly a um a thing a thingaroo and uh my thingaroo crashed and i'm uh i'm stuck i've been trapped up here a little while now uh and um i i uh i'm afraid to go down but i could use your help you do you want me to carry you to the ground? if you would be so kind oh and it uh sure uh yeah my pilot uh Wiggan Wogg did not survive the crash unfortunately points down into the into the brambles where there is something dead and rotting so he's a dragon that can't fly correct interesting i am so talabaugh your name i am serparic princeling of the eastern winds right of the green lord over on oh we're doing full titles okay uh he gives you his uh it seems like he's somehow attached to tanya's side of the court hell so he's like but but we're you and i are cool uh no no no no no no no no our masters are sometimes at odds uh the no reason you and i need to be um what was was his name again sir talabar sir talabar Eric must be he's mostly purple what did you say so you must be exhausting at dinner parties i am serparic all right uh yeah i will carry him to the ground thank you there are a couple of snakes in the brambles that i was particularly worried about they had been uh eating bits of Wiggan Wogg and that has been very disconcerting over the last few days to observe do you care to accompany us on our journey or what we do now i uh hang on let's use you grab my satchel because he's a good that's wiggle up oh he speaks draconic he speaks sylvan and draconic probably let me throw a piece or tell of our picture in the in the thing for you hang on yeah he's uh he's hanging out there with his sword and his little mustache he got wings he got wings but he doesn't they they don't work for whatever reason he didn't seem like you could how big is he fly down size tiny oh he's cool uh let's see nice must he will he seems to be like a uh well-known knight you may have you mad actually have heard of him let's just say let's say you have heard of him but never met him okay because that's fun right cool uh and you know that like some of his squires have gone on to become like pretty decent knights too right like you have a good reputation cool okay for like you know honorable service to tatanya your reputation proceeds you sir oh too kind to fire already speaks to him and he's like that reminds me of this one adventure and he goes on for like five minutes you know like telling a tale flips it again he's like you've seen a triad she did that within my view but uh she was uh unable to hear me or could not reply i i called out to her thinking that might be a useful way to get down but i didn't want to be too loud on account of the servants so uh i feel that she may not have heard me was she alone no no not at all who was with her oh uh the name escapes me but one of the one of the uh do drop ends uh underlings elf lady senior around don't know her name sorry which way that way oh yes the direction you're the very direction you're headed oh okay friends of yours are they um one of them we're gonna go that way do you want to come with us oh well um i want to eat you i don't know let's see thank you for putting that out but it hadn't occurred to me that you might but now i'm more worried oh do you know the big purple dragon that lives in the high star lake i beg your pardon none of those things make any sense to me where's a high star lake is it where we come from in the south you come from south of here i don't know this place is weird it's not in the fair world yeah i know well but it was in character got it uh right um is is he trapped in a cage hang on i'm confused what it seems to talk about him being trapped in a cage but then is he trapped in a cage he is trapped in a cage no wonder you can't get him down oh the wiggle wag the the dead pilot is a bullywag oh no way that's crazy well then those things should fit right directly in the head the lace underpants are in fact made for a bullywag so just recalling the bit about him tearing up and now he's just wary frilly underwear okay yeah all right well let's see if i went over are you uh all your friends friends are i'm gonna do away with the cage because i like it doesn't serve my purposes but he's like oh oh are you wigglewags family he says to the to the bullywags uh are you guys they're like boss no we don't like it here no i don't think they are i mean it could be i don't know do any of you pilot airships the what now hmm looking for a good new pilot no none of you well we don't know what it is don't have that experience none of you are airship mechanics or reparrows i take it i mean i could try nevermind i mean there's just like dudes back where we're from that do weird stuff mechanical things not here at the moment though they're not here okay uh so we're gonna go that way you can come with us i think i'll head back looking for my looking for my people to come uh gonna die in my airship oh you want to put it back up there no no no um i'm gonna head the other direction okay wishing you the best of luck all right pleasure to meet you sir you as well hope we never meet on the field of battle but if we do may it be honorable agreed yeah no worry man he's scared of snakes you'll be all right i see you have a mock of dishonor is that what this is oh yes what does it do well it uh mocks you as one who has disrespected those who should be respected and i fear i may have spoken too long with you already you are shun so i'll be on my way and during the fact that already is the one character who who care less about i know right it's like whatever we had it in the direction he pointed us out to okay um doing so when we when we get there do you want me to talk to the people in the castle since you're wearing very a mark of dishonor and i know that you dropped in already i don't know probably that's what we brought you all right why did you tell me not to talk to him the first time i was trying to yeah you didn't attend the uh the protocol briefing last night you heard him announced there would be a protocol briefing and you blew it off and apparently your blind side doesn't let you see when people are bowing it's i don't know according to these these guys i'm okay yep sure weird soft skins and bug people stuff which was no sense uh okay so um roll d12 10 no we're all different uh that you already rolled you were already rolled 10 unless you want to encounter that same group again no i don't think so six okay um so in the distance you see a hill uh that is kind of moving from left to right apparently on its own but in the foreground in front of that there are some bushes uh berry bushes and you there are some little sprites there um painting the the leaves red being whereas as red as we're um putting the the leaves to be to be redder and um they're making it sprout some uh some berries and so you can sort of again it's the shifting of of colors happening here nobody eating the berries lock lock your doors knock it out of this nightmare it seems like something flipped yeah i'll probably pop a cherry in my mouth or two well i said that's coming out i was like uh d_h_r_ for me to be please 16 wow 96 already has tallest bolliwugs if you eat the food here when you come back out you get sick um so you as you eat the berries you empathize completely with the plant you as you eat it you're seeing it all from the plants point of view oh man and uh you don't mind right that that's what the berries are for you hope that the seeds find good earth and you know it's like sending your kids off to college but you know very like plant level right it's not not deeply emotional in that sense but um but yeah you you you find that uh at least for now right like you you you flip exist both as the plant and as the eater um and you find that your empathy towards all the plants around is pretty strong okay cool um so you're vegan as you eat the berries um all the hair falls off your legs and you feel completely yeah wow on my hair wow and what do you do about that anything it's like lying it's like someone just shaved you completely right i'm gonna yeah try to cover it up so now uh what's in that bag man you have never worn pants suddenly you'll bury them at the right time it's like yeah there's like bollywood clothes in there step one but like they're colorful like you know a harlequin sure all the tights you know flip as both the person and the plant finds us hilarious yeah you can wear some harlequin tights yeah that's one one of those like all lozengey diamondy and the other ones all straight yeah different patterns on the legs i can't wait but by the end of the session they're going to go straight home and plug in the ai the cedar with a long 13 no fur on his legs wearing harlequin pants this is on the gloves for now cut to keep eating okay hey these pranks did you see us trying to come through here with a dew drop man dude oh whatever i keep going on right uh okay so that hill isn't still moving left to right in in kind of on the horizon is it floating in the air no seems to be walking seems to have a bunch of legs oh let's go towards that okay because she lived on an earth mouth so the bottom is sort of misty so it's hard to tell if it's all legs or if it is floating a little bit but as you get there uh you're greeted with the smell of kind of uh the sickly sweet smell of like rotting fruit um sweet smelling fruit but but maybe a little over egg um damp downy silvery green moss blankets a gentle upward slope before uh with a little bit of a path towards it and there's kind of a craggy ridge up there somewhere but the whole thing is still moving a little bit can we sort of have to step onto it okay let's go up onto it okay marching order um go ahead and do the souvenirs all right and there are dozens of enormous willow trees all over um but there is kind of a path between some of them and we should paint that flesh on it oh man the humility that's a humiliation what else what's our width we can be in this uh you could be two or three quiet at least see what's this race human that is the management already sitting on that horse nobody looking the brightest possible clothes you may find that you like these um maybe i guess it gives us a question of whether your hair grows back or not right i'm hoping that well but sure you never know plus you get to feel the fabric against your bears sensation for you it's a kid show come on all right okay so who's in front so already is in the front flight by his two toughest bully wugs okay then we got some parrot and a bully wug and rick behind him is uh my sander this guy oh and rick now who's yeah rick the two setters next to each other oh one of the carpis yes and there's no cook is back in here and then there's two really wugs i'm laughing i know right excuse me man and slips in there in the middle as well okay so as you're kind of headed up the hill some of the trees kind of make their way towards you and uh some of them sort of end up blocking the path and hello trees itself they well they'll speak to you in common they say welcome uh to tell me hill um what is the purpose of your visit and how long you intend to stay and are you here armed for violence as you appear to be um three parts question answer in order we're looking for our friend shrub rittany patreon will be here if she's here longer if she's not we don't need to be here and i don't know yeah if i gotta take care of myself i take care of myself we're we're on for our um our own protection we don't we don't we're not looking for any trouble we just don't want any trouble to find us hmm hmm well it's not up to us to deny you passage but uh if it comes to war we hope it does not okay trees thank you is this shrub rittany come this way with the dee dreck man guy hmm elf lady um they say you may find her on this this little walking hill man you may find her okay thank you if she wishes to be found it just feels intentionally vague it's like you will find her here you will find her you may find her with hete okay up this way yeah all right they purr it again and up you go so it turns out to be quite a large hill actually it takes you half an hour of kind of walking eventually up there you see something kind of like a stone circle and a kind of a cave opening over there okay we go up there like a yellow shrub rittany where you at you see a tree that looks a lot like shrub rittany like a tree tree yeah let's just talk to it yeah go up like check it out shrub rittany that you you okay it looks like her like it appears to be a tree though non-awakened at the moment it's next to the mouth of the cave they didn't oh she hasn't come to any harm she always is quiet you touch that golden acorn to her for this tree okay before you do um a little halfling dressed like a druid in autumn robes comes out and says oh uh oh uh quite a few of you uh uh okay hi my name is elbow man machinester with whom do i treat do you have treats with whom may i speak oh all of us is this our friend all of you at once we all have here i'm game is this our friend shrub rittany shrub rittany sleeps yes did you do this to her no why does she sleep she is making a choice will you come inside and have tea okay three of you four at most okay me and three believe what it's going um so you go into the cave and and he sets you up with some tea so yes hatay uh the the uh she looks like a slightly older wiser more powerful druid type uh comes in as you're being served tea by elbow and uh says uh welcome welcome to tell me hill how uh how can we be of assistance we came to find sure Brittany ah yes she's here you will have seen her out front who told she's making a choice that's true uh may i ask whom do you serve we serve ourselves uh on whose behalf do you seek shrub rittany all of us the whole everybody uh-huh but shrub rittany uh was in the service of flaky that is spoiler are you also in his service i mean we hang out i mean i don't know if he's really my boss but do you see together shrub rittany on his behalf or not yes and we want to make sure she's okay she's fine she's in no danger why are things been doing wrong ah that you may well ask of flocking for flocking as you may know is of the seed of mornigoth also a spoiler green dragons for those of you who've never had the pleasure to spoil the wilderness they live in pollute it make it an untenable place for life other than themselves and this though he'd be small of stature descendant of mornigoth does the same the fires from perfection pollute the skies foul things come out of the uh out of the so-called village and into the waters and he despoils the wilderness and makes no apologies and the due drop man will not stand it is his forest and he protects it mornigoth has in the past despoiled it and he was glad to be rid of her now her seed comes and does the same is he to stand at it idly by certainly not these things are being shown to shuritney and she will make a choice likewise passion is he a tree too now no but he is here so all of you must likewise make a choice do you serve a foul green dragon who despoils the wilderness or do you wish to protect it i feel like the second one for me i i've never actually met flokey so well you might take care the company you keep for this one certainly knows him certainly knows what he is and certainly knows why he does what he does i mean picked up on that uh when he got the so why does not do drop man talk to him himself i know they have spoken together and met sir parrot is told me of their adventures together the new drop man does not adventure know flokey and him they met your drop man brought him yes barbarians and since then parrot has also started foundries smithies and other things that pollute he you sir parrot have also become a despoiler and we intend to deal with you eventually the greater threat being floke there is no amount of industry that you tolerate you may abandon your industry and make peace with the wilderness but no there is no amount of polluting the skies and despoiling the wilderness for which we accept no your people may live in peace but if flokey wishes to demonstrate that he is not a despoiler it will take some effort contrary to his current course likewise yourself sir parrot when the time comes i mean already he's got no he's like oh people do what we do yeah i mean lizard folk tribes don't do that on their own right yeah for me i came to this party outside the influence of of this flokey and my loyalty lies with with this band um i haven't seen it i've not seen any despoiling from my friend and i know already it doesn't even understand what that means um uh i would i would petition well i would i would have you know that that that i believe they're they have good intentions you may certainly carry a message back to flokey okay and you may certainly urge your friend parrot to abandon their uh extractive production we should probably talk to the dwarves too seems to be mainly the southwood that they're worrying about by the by i have this condition i don't know if you have any sort of remedy for that is it is your condition a poor sense of fashion because i agree it seems severe unfortunately the condition affects that it's an odd said a lot of pressure my uh my own uh my own powers dwell within in my artistry and and my and and my music and i i don't know how to address this have you tried singing your hair let me try this is is the elbow will fix something up for you everything i would do should grow back in a few days perhaps do you elbow see to it thank you is the roof can at least try singing hair lauru is nothing yes we are aware of lauru the unicorn goddess we are aware that uh she appears to allow such things without a problem this is confusing to us they take care of her statue in her temple perhaps she's not here to speak for herself perhaps you should all just stay here in the feywild leave the prime material alone if you knew anything at all young mortal you would know they are inseparably intertwined i don't know i think my people were probably around first you guys probably showed up whoever gave him the mark did so well i bet it's totally a lizard focus sure right like yeah like we existed like we were the first race we didn't land on Plymouth rock right but like feywild thinks that it had been it was prior to that even right so yeah and good luck convincing an elf that they were first movies well so you may go in peace she might eventually decide to join you or she may not she is certainly being shown everything that floki is and does do you know how long she will take to make her choice it's not for me to say is she shown the truth i think so or she's shown a point of view well most of you soft skin that sounds like something a green dragon would say doesn't necessarily speak truth all times do you come to insult us no i only speak truth there's much of the emotional types don't always see things as they are true i just want to make sure sure Brittany has a full view of all not just what if she is to be shown to change her point of view if she should return you may speak anything you wish to her truth or falsehood why don't you just let her walk through the ways where she's been she led the forestry show us what trees they would cut down this is not my choice to make it is hers all right it's we're done here just one more thing do you know what this is yes it appears to be golden acorn do you but is it like a break like i have planted like a regular acorn would it grow like a golden tree or something uh it would grow it would grow uh a plant like she written he used to be a small awaken shrub oh if you were to plant it here okay in your own world it is probably an actual acorn oh well i'm definitely planning to hear that thank you he's great she that's what i said she's gonna ask her how we get back if our business is concluded yeah how do we go home i'll welcome uh take you to a portal where do you wish to be in your own world okay can i plant this first real quick here here on the hill yes sure okay i'm gonna do that okay we'll get to you in a second that where we came from then you okay yeah we can do that when we came by the statue of what's your name in shantaya right right yep that's the one okay uh you plant your thing and like up springs a little uh berry bush and it is like hey i'm alive this is created i'm your dad oh no ever since like the past hour or so i've had this real yearning to have a plant child i don't think i'm your child i think you planted me right but see like so like i ate this berry right and then i i was like the plant and the berry was like my kid and i saw them go away and it really made me want a kid preferably a plant so this is a lot of me to take in i'm pretty new at this i'm sorry i thought that you would be eager to to have like a parental type thing is you just run into existence so but if you're not really how it usually works for plants okay you don't usually like know our parents i'm i'm new to the whole plant thing so i i can uh overnight memorize the spell ceremony and if you're not looking for a dad that's fine but like i i'd love to be your buddy or caretaker yeah we're friends sure but you're being weird about a whole relationship yeah sorry i i am thanks for planting me yeah of course we're i'm not going to call you dad okay we're going to go uh check out this other plane of existence you want to come with us no are you sure yeah i'm pretty sure i'm making a profit range sure i can do that if you want me to have anyone else you gotta do you really want this to happen i i don't know what i do with it sure what what's my name i was thinking berry because you're like a berry bush berry white boys all the time berry or berry obama so uh thing is sure you are not my father sure this awakened shrub is willing to accompany you for a while okay awesome great and uh um she says you guys are welcome to stay the night in some guest quarters uh and in the morning um what's his name what's the name the other guy album album in the morning album will take you to a portal that will get you near where you need it to go and my hair is growing back uh your hair will grow back your hair will grow back album makes you a tea okay and it gets you like a jug and sends it with you and is like twice daily for a week all right should work do you drink it or rub it on you it's really interesting texture it's just like really really thick and it's sort of expected to be more liquid trouble getting a down really you drank the motion during the night arnie will talk to the tree that was for Brittany okay hey yeah what do you tell her tells her how she's always been a very valued member of the tribe yeah and it is her wisdom that would prevent disfoiling as she is a leader of the tribe okay in all things juridic all right that's what he says don't let them propaganda you should hear that's apparent but like meta if she rittany came back and was like no we gotta we gotta dismantle all the industry and perfection it's floating in a listen i don't know right maybe we'll see right we'll see i mean that's all hypothetical right but the place is like all juridic it is yeah right we've never had the experience of like agents being like mmm no right and like theoretically your new arch or arch jurid down there yeah might be getting the same kind of visions at some point yeah and be like this is not this is not where we want to go natural world was help us be sustainable yeah there's lots of sustainable industries like metal smelting isn't one and it really can't be right um so we're supposed to get all uh pursuit druids that's the other thing that they might sort of object to is like your choice of fiery people as uh as other druid consultants they live off on their own burning everything yes right and then there and then there's that she didn't say this but i uh maybe you talk like a to elbow in the in the evening he's like yeah and then there's not other fire druid who lives up on those caves and he's from what we hear floki secretly funds him and so like floki's got all these tentacles you don't even know that he's like he's like funding secret fire cults up in the woods right and and like where does that stop right he probably hasn't told you any of this but he's paying he's paying this berry guy to burn anything they can burn yeah and like and and they started killing people who didn't like you know agree to join their little fire cult and you don't think that's disboiling it's the uh it's the deep state right he's got bored from all those point of view it's clear as day that like floki has this all planned out as a way to destroy the wilderness right no that's what elbows point of view is and like the fact that you have cuffs with druids and like breek and all that plays into is his view of all right he's like all the tea right right like it as i was thinking about it this week johnny i was like oh this does all makes it like he is a green guy my skills doesn't mean like davis just letting all my secrets i know right but but you know they're they're here in the field here and i'm from people who maybe see this stuff yeah sorry so sorry mike i'm still in the tea okay so in the morning uh albo leads you on hike and eventually there's like a couple of cross trees and he's like this isn't the same cross trees as the other ones but it's should get you actually i don't know where i'll put it but it should get you sort of near the statue best i can do for you and uh shritney will be long eventually maybe best i can do and the other guy oh yeah bash or two maybe but he's busy being an axe beak or something uh the pixies thought that was hilarious because like you get it right because can't use it while always want to fly and so the pixies are like yeah yeah we'll tune you into bird it's like it was bird well yeah good times all right we'll go through okay uh so roll uh roll a d20 for shirbritney's choice eight she stays didn't fade well roll a d20 for basher's choice 19 basher comes back and then will be sort of the profit of what he has at least the point of view that has been shown to him he will probably confront flooky and say look you're acting like a green dragon you might not mean to and it might not be something you can directly help but you're acting like one in a way that is offending some fey and they mean business if you don't put an end to it and unless you're looking for a cross planar war at some point then you should not escalate in that direction feed the fires that that is hopefully gonna be a choice floke he has to make but like it will no longer be like their point of view is at least being made clear to flunky by basher who comes back and says shirbritney has decided to stay it feels like setting up like a series finale like you know in three seasons you're gonna have the massive interplanar war or not we have now lost reincarnation is his season family oh yeah not necessarily because he just funded it at our street yeah however that our street may also have a similar point i'll see yeah so you want to explore what does parrot feel that though yeah yeah i'm curious like uh robinny so are you gonna add that to like your introduction well i mean so i was asked to come to the mortal realm and live among the mortals um i mean i'm leading a mortal settlement i mean i i am an oath of the ancients paladin um but i i mean i it's it seems like so i i don't know if i feel like i have to take such a hard line as a druid because there are places that exist where you know forests and human settlements coexist sure absolutely that's true yeah but i think they'd rather prefer that you spend your time like making farms and things that like produce in a natural way as opposed to smelting iron and burning things you know like that's kind of the line they're getting at right like we're actually not saying all humans need to like leave or die yeah that's not our line yeah our line is stop burning things and dumping the sewage and or dumping the pollution into the water right like you know so there's kind of a they're not right they're not hard-line all humans should be destroyed no humans yeah there are elvish sects uh and factions that feel that way that that's their line but like that's not yeah that's not what elvoh seems to be saying yeah or hatte seems to be saying that the doo drop man's line is he but he doesn't want the south wood in particular like turned into a den of industry so where's the uh i mean does that include like like forging refining you know what i mean like yeah like it just you know are uh like again over the course of several conversations with elvoh right you kind of get the line the the idea that like the extractive tag is what offends the doo drop man particularly okay okay when all this comes back to flow or like and and the parts of craft that are attached to that extractive right like any kind of metal craft so like yeah okay so no no making armor leather armor would be fine okay i mean you wouldn't love you killing all the animals either but you know like within reason yeah you know the kinds of armor that sounds like they wouldn't mind as much if you're doing it like in the mountains or something they don't care about the mountains that somebody else's job to care about yeah doo drop man doesn't go with the mountains do drop man owns the south wood yeah right or pertains to the south wood so there's not necessarily so much blood is is it is where with both yeah yeah all right uh peric will take that under advisement yeah okay flooky finds this out he is a front against this he is like we have done nothing but work with our druid allies we have undeveloped the doo drop rock on purpose which that's why i've never put anything there we've only gone into the south wood to protect the statue of the rue and we have allowed all people to come and live with an art group peacefully okay that says like basher's liking up if that's what you think has happened fine but these they got offended somehow i blame you you must have done something okay are you firing basher would you or no not firing spinning on probation some of them went weird out in your woods where you're watching over the stride of the room but you but like you are descended or you aren't descended for green dragon because that was never brought up before to me that's new information for me you know it's crazy like uh and i'm not i'm not uh you know trying to say that it's bad necessarily but like are you descended from the green dragon that he's talking about yes okay because they seem to think that the way you're acting is on a path towards the way that she acted when she was like a servant of char the goddess of night and like destroying the wilderness back down in the misty forest where she lived uh which may or may not have even fully recovered i guess do drop man is worried that uh that the path you're on could lead that direction whether or not that was your intent and it sounds like you're trying to do the right thing boss but i i don't think i offended them i think you offended them let's uh but that's like playing forward in a conversation so um we need to determine how long you appear to have been in the faywild so you spent a night there which means we actually we were we were all twice for for each you know long rest ish that you were there we're gonna roll one once per month but twice in total so ye old faywild mechanics chart which we haven't used in a while okay so since you're all together um we'll do this together not not popping in separately um okay so roll 2d4 you want it different or together five okay uh roll 2d6 so 15 years from now oh not there yet uh five okay and then start our roll 2d4 four okay so you uh what appeared to you to be like a day and a night and a morning appears to actually been like five and a half days it's not too bad yeah so pretty reasonable let's feed easily and where do we pop out of that um yeah let's stand by uh kind of on the northern end of the canteen statue hex you eventually find it uh this statue couple hours away nice thanks should water deep let's begin our adventure back uh pick up your dice and roll them i'm gonna need three dollars okay so uh what's left what do you want to i don't know i wasn't sure if that would turn into combat or not right uh i'm kind of glad it didn't because i think that makes more sense like there was no combat to right but like i don't know with you you could have you know it could have with any of you right it could have it could have escalated it's true we couldn't just kill them first and dug it up and try to bring them back it could have happened that way yes i feel like there were several times where the three of us like intervened like keep combat from happening just why you guys were sad with him right so yeah i don't know if that changes like any of pcs uh feelings toward floki continuing to be the ruler or floki's gonna change any courses or he feels like he's done right not disputing that he was trying to do right but i mean like one of his main people was forbidding a druid yeah but like right but you're the one who rolled two ones on that's true on this stuff and that's that's where we decided the new drop man was offended i didn't decide ahead of time it's a result of you deciding this is the adventure so outside of mechanics yeah yeah these are the things that have been you know narratively existed right but i didn't have to i didn't have to look very far for what what might have appended the new drop man so i feel he'll go and try to go talk to him directly at some point uh you can certainly try that yeah oh you can tie okay yeah you're tapping out uh so swishing characters okay but you guys can all come sure yeah yep the sixth day so floki's gonna go plead this case is it should he hire lawyer first no he talks in so far the last case pretty well what was he all right he's a little guy comparatively he is um he's like third level great fourth six six but compared already he's just a little guy yeah yeah have a hundred points to 43 so yeah he'll take his his fate okay do tier and montourage this guy be touched yeah uh we'll take some of our best redder's rye whiskey okay with us i mean yes offerings to an archfay are not the same as art as like pixies you like to get drunk but yes okay it's what we do it's what you do sure and maybe you should take like several loads of stuff like wagons and i mean he's like you know what i mean royalty i'm just a little guy yeah but you can throw away that much don't mean we bring a good a good amount of it how much is that how much do we have usually on stock well theoretically we go into next turn here so you can see that you're committing to all around right how about all ones again well that could certainly happen now you know you should bring natural stuff though not like cartloads of armor and apparently um the finest axes and i thought we brought some war machines for you that's right i'm taking three lemons of liquor okay this flamethrower is super rat developed it myself figuring out we built this to drill and take it to war we thought they're disboiled in it so he goes to to drop rock okay yeah uh day like seven or eight at this point because they had to make their way back down you had that conversation with basher decided okay like maybe i need to go see this guy we could bring this out yeah yeah last time we were cool sure um we took our heads for them hey yep uh that did happen yes so we go there to plan to arrive in the morning okay in which we drink a cup of the morning yeah which is what he told us to do to talk to him yep does he show up hate appears on the rock she's like hello flooky well you're not the do drop in i represent him here he's otherwise uh otherwise disposed this morning i came to talk because clearly things are gotten out of hand and i'm glad you seek i'm glad you seek to do so i don't know why he hasn't come to talk to me before we have treated in the past you and he have never right we have remind me he was there when we took the warlock up and brought it oh yeah okay yeah we have met in the past that was before you started down the path you're on display is this before we despoiled yeah we've done things with him he knows me yes open to all peoples well then as your friend he advises you to seek another course one that does not threaten the wilderness i don't intend to threaten the wilderness i'm glad you feel that way like to know if you are here to apologize and say that you are changing course then i'm happy to relay that to him i'd like to know which what would it prevent what would prevent us from it's work where where have we overstepped the boundaries look to the south toward perfection you do you see a cloud of black snow hanging over it she says you do not see what might offend it has been there for some time yes but by the way fay reckon time it is merely a moment it has only now come into focus as a problem so peacefully we would ask that you change your ways you may certainly prove that you do not wish to follow in the footsteps of your ancestor but we are wary so you may not know all the things that took place between the drew drop man and your ancestor but it was not pleasant i actually haven't heard any of these stories that's probably please play tell well mornigoth destroyed many things including the new drop man's manner deep in the south wood it it lies yet in ruins here on the material play do you like us to fix no we have protectors there someday he will rebuild your efforts are not not necessary there but just to let you know that more it was mornigoth who came into conflict with the do drop man once upon a time many many years ago by your reckoning and what was a connection with telos telos is a storm god whom mornigoth somehow offended and came into conflict with do drop man had nothing to do with that lest you think that that was his revenge so we stop our smelting imperfection mmm we're cool and do not impinge further into the south wood than you already have considered as a border you may keep the shrine of the root that seems to make her happy there's no way ever gone through to do to protect that and take care of the goblins who have found a happy home with us and you might do something about that wildfire cult that you continue to covertly fund I don't do anything with those guys but we recognize that that is but the official statement we expect but the do drop man has seen it I've stayed away from that I let them deal with the zents up there and cause issues I did not fund them yep I went there when they first went there because they were drowned there causing problems I have not been back since all right we'll have a separate conversation I've heard the worst cult moved over more but it's it's not so much of a problem as long as it doesn't touch the south wood but your fire druids are a bit of a concern though we want to get one of those and she lives down south yeah Marie's got his own thing going on up there and he really likes plants he's all about growing plants but yes and no yes pops an ollie dolly got Bob all over the place uh that's not natural yes luckily he's always experimenting splicing jeans together and he's dropping corpse flowers here and there he loves plants because the times we have a pride is that him do his truest stuff so together body parts and jolt's the little electricity so natural so may we continue may we explore the south wood oh yes okay you may and there are some issues that we hope you might somebody deal with them might be tough but we can't keep our armors being produced you are subtle as a serpent i mean this is a two-way street no it isn't it's his forest respected or faces his wrath there is no two ways to that street you want us to help we need to be able to be able to help sure speaking of which has a bit we've heard there's an undead issues going on out there uh yes your old friend Chateen yeah he i don't like none of us like Chateen he killed my daughter i'm sorry to you sorry for your loss never heard this guy but i feel like i hate him his kind is why we need to be able to defend ourselves he's snuck into my how make your armor elsewhere i don't care if you do it in the mountains is that clear all right we all know the kiss all right that's all i got okay uh you don't ask her where Chateen is do you know where he is? she might she might not do robin might but he might not have told her hang on i just think i just thought since you were already kind of there on it on the subject it's maybe we're keeping him a little slow boil but yeah it is a slow boil but every once in a while to keep that boil going we need to drop a hint right because Breek went every Breek tried to look that one time and learned something but didn't act on it but it was vague so uh yeah she'll say something like uh his lair is in is it on on your side of the veil his lair is within the south wood mostly he is a trouble to the to the sense of loud water at the moment he fled when you when you closed in before over here somewhere yes we'll see him in a few years all right that's all i got now okay all right 1118 what do you want to do i don't know if things went kind of as bad as possible i feel for the domain yeah not great not great how much how much stuff do you have it's extractive tag or metal work there's like three improvements in perfection there's a heavy artwork workshop but that's where his soldiers are based out of yeah there's a foundry and there's something else smell works or something i think it's i think it's a foundry smell works on a heavy armor smithy is what i noticed so i i mean i'll eventually ask you you don't have to answer right now but yeah if we want if peric wanted to convert you know like a smelter ready to something else you know is there there's not a buyback now yeah right any more than there would be yeah in the real world yeah yeah you would just let it go cold but you're a buckly you're down at the rooms and teens all the words not right it's not as but at least you're at least less well i i mean i'm just i'm just thinking out loud like if like if you wanted to turn a foundry like like you might you could consider it like broken and then like maybe partial credit towards something out like turn the space into something yeah if you were since you've refused to draw me a map that's difficult to do on the on the square by square basis sure so that's where like if we were doing it in one of the places where i have a map and that would be a little easier to be like yo okay that that space could become this right so we can conceptually do that uh and if like i'm open to discussion on it okay yeah i'm right i'm not saying it has to be like zeroed out zeroed out yeah but like it has to be sense sure and if we had a map we would that would help it make sense yeah without it it's possible to come up with like oh yeah this is roughly the same number of squares and i can easily imagine a foundry being used for you know being converted over into a die work shop or you know like whatever right right yeah so it just it yeah i'm happy to work with you on that okay if parrot wants to be right like if depending on where parrot decides to go so there's whether his pride is hurt right i mean theoretically you're from a whole different court you might not care what he says well i mean it's possible right um he has been my ally in the past um but there's there's no court of fey that's like hate to spoil the wilderness yeah i was gonna say yeah i was gonna say it's gonna be like jukes are new oh brought with it loves my smell but like yeah like if you if you don't work for him you don't work for him is one way that they might decide to look at it right like but yeah so the only thing technically extractive there is the smell of no i know but but the heavy army armor smithy and the and the uh foundry yeah there are also you know in the same category as far as they're concerned i think i've got four or five improvements but but yours are not improvements use of rooms right like small scale yeah i guess mechanical is probably offensive right like right and like craft where it regards you know and where it follows on from extractive i mean that's a mind the mind's not there though the mind's over to rusty gorge nope there's the mind in the black iron oh yeah they probably they probably don't love that yeah no i think last year it goes on a tour to raise awareness southward southward's problems yeah okay you write some protest songs sure he starts a foundation it would actually be kind of cool for you to become like a fuck here that fuck he's pursuing uh you know everyone's uh sure kind of out on the deal right some better life this is a hairless cedar that's right it's going back yeah but but your life's it turns out the tights are comfy well also thinking like you're like yeah it kind of goes pop right so it starts shading purposely but like have you ever shaved your legs before no no that's what i was saying i did once in high school just because i was bored and like wearing pants after shaving your legs for the first time your life it just feels very different oh okay okay no i never had i'm not ashamed bro i was just thinking of that scene in wane's world where um guard is like do you ever think but funny is a crime that's great so yeah so there's those three things that seem to have kind of them yeah and and just oh four things with the mind there yeah four things with the mind yeah but we did also with the mind that like was right where they were like you know evil fay yeah which we got rid of right and then started a mind war yeah so like thanks for killing evil fay but and we've liberated you now we're going to take all of your potential resources and we raise the earth mount that's got to be some bonus points stories they come in fearless sure in theory and we killed the hags yes and that opened up a power vacuum with that the new drug man probably benefited from but he's it's not like he's gonna credit you with that he's just in it then you drop hands like you've done three good things and uh four bad things uh you gotta yes you're like rolling a whiteboard all right here's all the good things you've done now this is important i don't care i was the i'm the scene in say anything where he goes out with like the the daughter of his dad's partner and she's like okay uh let's just let's just add this up like you would have taken me to dinner it would have been this much uh uh we might have gone for dessert i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that it would have been like this much and then she's like so like half that is this and he's like done oh it's better off than you right and when he was jumping back but i was thinking it was it was saying anything but you're right it's better off than that's fine so basically we're going to have to crank the dwarves up on the industry right so we can trade all the stuff with us i guess basically yeah yeah or i started in a interdimensional war which we don't exactly have rules for it we we have rules but they sort of imagined that your hexes are like on a map next to each other right not that you're dealing with like fake portals between them oh no but every way go back and watch season three of stranger things yeah what i need to figure out is how to shut those portals down ooh see that sounds like the spoiler talk but okay hot days like what do you say oh that was not a spoiler you know what we need to do silence my critics what we need is a crackdown i'm not past you now he just said you're making glass an optometrist mr burn trying to you part off the thing on an optometrist which goes the the we're rats oh whoa yes i don't know where we're at what's up but what about this is it possible i need to close out these portals tell you what these guys are getting a little uppity next turn arty's like six loads of explosive is it possible to move than the machinery you're going to take all the all you're going to take all the fairy tale creatures and put them in over to the other syllables right there a monster is it possible what is it possible to move the industry like take the machineries and move them to another place no i don't think so i mean it's certainly not much cheaper you know we need railroads i'm sure they'd be super fun with railroads but in order to make railroads are we're going to need a steal we'll go back to the do drop man we'll be like all right here we are for a while we need like 10 more mines but it's all just so we can move our stuff i need to do is somehow convince the hubbell let's go after that the hub problems are down on the morse not the ones that are right there that's also not forest it's a eels and that's just a shrine they find out that the do drop man went out there shrine just need to start out so what you're saying is you're not evil but you want to start a proxy war right blame blame your enemies well a false flag was yeah right this information wasn't born huh yeah never said i wasn't evil right he's like i never directly denied right like i admitted i was the spot of a green dragon that i didn't exactly say that i didn't want to do all the things you did okay so yeah float he's past coming back to haunt him but like in cool way can we agree oh no yeah we'll see in an interesting way definitely an interesting way are there any lasting effects in the prime material playing to already his mark of dishonor no it fades when he comes back okay oh it's interesting it would have conveyed some disadvantages during combat in there which might have been interesting for you yeah now i will say he's even more favorite enemy against fae sure he hates fae he thinks they're uh completely haughty and yeah like jerks they're jerks they should stay in the fae wild except for this one he's okay for now what about the other savior yeah and the fae touch guy cool make one they're tasty so they can stay fatten them up yeah fatten them up i mean he used to go there noticed that he did have the the sword that's extra nasty for fae uh yeah i wondered if he were gonna make use of that oh yeah if it could have come to it i'm sure you gave the kick off tonight that was just this fair you know what it's called what you named it i don't think so flyswatter that's what his name already he's going through his bag like the fae bane what now what did you say it i just called flyswatter you know you look like a fly it's funny that way it's for you know swatting them i don't know if you're sure they've come called that so you're a caller next time john uh the 11th because i am not going to be here it's gonna make it harder yeah yeah that we'll put a damn call that's right yes let's see oh it's you is the next one after that okay assuming you're done talking about this evening or i don't know i got nowhere else to go that i can think of okay our position is fine should we tap out or do you want to talk about what we're doing next we can we can talk about it um we don't know open question i i want to hear i i think talking about next session is good to keep on that okay anyway back to dwarves something else what's in your mind what interests you as a player yeah like i the the dwarf line does seem interesting the benefits for this kind of music yeah um so i wouldn't mind going back there um i haven't done anything with me back since he found his new home down at the turquoise coob old land yeah nobody else is anywhere near there yeah i don't know if i should need to drop the picture off yet so oh it's like way over here right yeah i don't know if we could do real quick tonight maybe no not really quick what could check out the shrine of carl neck yeah uh let's see what's what's the latest there i'm sorry there was some still somebody not covered or green-eyed cobbles yeah doing their own thing yeah i'm not particularly correct for that but sure we can we can we can have you send the party and see if it gets resolved and we don't look at it and see what's going on sure do we do that let's see that real quick okay see what's going on back to arty not to arty here and same birdie same birdie okay let me see a party that's who's up here there's not many people up in this area everybody left lucky alone because of all kinds of trouble because it turns out flukies uh not to be messed with what are you just gonna scary i feel like he's in a very dark place these days wow we haven't seen them on screen much no so he just hangs out and has mentioned a lot listening to the cure listen to the cure all right so i guess we're their belt everyone's back in the farm start okay sure we can fast try a little bit yeah we'll follow the trails down staying in the things stopping at halo's going to the set scale hold on i mean that would be past it right we can see uh what lives in this old sycamore now is that still not into me i don't i don't know i think it's not right it's not so yeah probably more on cakes yeah no wonder flukies not coming yeah no that's where he died yeah i know he got his head been off by an on cake a rough day for flukie it was like first like half hour the night yeah it was we knew it came up out of the ground and created you in this role yeah that's which characters and i was like well this one doesn't care what we're gonna do is we're gonna do something else now uh yeah what lives there that cakes uh sorry you're in the shrine of kurtleneck or how yeah we'll get down to the shrine of kurtleneck it's north randomly of the set scale cobbled caves you might be called something else on your on your app i'll give another inspiring speech okay because why not just in case let's just get a shrine i guess that's the one that's the one yeah so uh what has happened to hear a couple of times is that you've sent severe on larendo who is a bard and that has generally failed yeah he has come here at least twice oh in like over the course of different months and and uh always rolled poorly he generally fails he generally fails it's true you know all this this fault goes back to nuclear earth shaper so she regionally run the snot works she made it so it was more polluting than it should have been she yeah and uh she remember that she was a frog but we determined she was probably a frog yeah she was not a real earth shaper because she could never succeed in a single role and she ended up dying in a cave and she ended up dying okay which i don't know let's say earth shaper would not have no yeah wow yeah so maybe she was uh you know a plant from some other faction trying to do you wrong get you on the do drop man's wrong side maybe it's all the long game of somebody else but good luck convinced me with that can you imagine someone doing some sort of false flag operation right the inside of proxy war dude but whatever we can ascribe all of that to my cutting this but it didn't do pretty much dice rolls okay so you're here uh there's um i have it sort of like uh as a cult shrine um and uh there isn't a hag anymore that there there's not a living hag that they're worshiping but they're worshiping the memory of a hag but it still works uh and gives them a cult power because that's how cults work so you have a cult to deal with here um and i guess it's a question of how that clean out goes how detailed you want that because i'm not prepared at all but we can we can fast do it or i can i can make something up and we can you know it it's fast do it okay uh each of your roll of d20 let's see how your clean out goes and i'll roll a couple of d20s over here actually i'll roll a d20 versus each of you because that's fine okay versus uh let's start with just go around the table so uh flip what was your d20? nine okay i rolled a 15 so you're at least wounded okay like you know you're low level and like you end up having to retreat or maybe you're down you're not going to roll high enough that you're down but you like you survive okay but like doesn't go great yeah that makes sense okay but we're saving ourselves an hour of combat there awesome okay 13 8 so Artie is good in darkness does this thing uh you know take some moons because they concentrate fire on him or whatever but he is probably able to take out the cult leader right uh nine peric 16 so um uh yeah so again you end up having to back off a little bit he couldn't go in because it's still the gut that oh that's true that remember it it was it was hallowed against fame that's right so you're affected right so thank goodness for our narrative things for explaining our professionals again uh and your effectiveness was severely limited by the fact that you could not actually go in and you just had to go like whoever attack whoever they could flush out yeah are you are you also fair are you considered a human faith okay so that's gonna well let's see how guys want to roll 19 well okay I rolled a seven so what that means is you're not fair enough no you weren't able to go in but like you were this is arranged anyway yeah you were shooting into it i was playing my music and yeah doing everything sending daunting people out yeah yeah um so on the whole um you beat me you beat me uh i b u i b u so that's roughly 50 but since you call or run and since you know end of night and everything else uh like yeah you um roll 2d6 three oh that's low um okay so you've reduced the magnitude of the cult but it isn't totally totally done with it turns out they were to treat deeper into the cavern then you realized it went so yeah reduced uh the cult shrine corruption despair problem here excuse me that's the fast version of that right now it's too tough okay all right what do you want to do next time um probably go back to the doors unless someone suggests something particularly juicy on slack but i don't think someone reminds me so okay all right uh and then what does jank want to do there anything more than needed last time well no he's really fascinated by the the room so he wants to find more room carving circles etc um we can confer a little bit on slack but there's actually because of the part of the multi-level dungeon that they control there there's you could branch out on the current level and fight the human child there there's also several other levels at which you could branch out to explore or engage um so it's up to you whether you want it more of an explorer or whether you want to lead a force against the dire lord trine okay um kind of or whether you want to like come try to see try to hit uh um to call to the dragon or if there's anyway it's it's up to you kind of what your goals are okay um but you can be anything from a soldier exploration or you could let me try to like find the source of the foul water and fix that or you could be looking for the um hidden refuge although yeah that would yeah so you can do that anyway by exploring we're still missing our um dwarven war bards it's true we gotta oh that's been most of the flavor but yeah yeah yeah and uh john if you if we're going back to oasis will matter if you're not if you're not you're that we yeah we need a new character for you right i'm gonna do it with a rope that i am okay yeah i'm sorry to hear i got it host uh oh sorry that's right it serves in the age yeah okay i guess we've done it we've done enough [BLANK_AUDIO]
