  2. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d1
  3. [8:30 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d1]: 1, Result: 1
  4. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright. Beside for the information on the Dream-Eater Demon retrieved from Infinite Library finally being made available to you, adventurers, there are some more immediate threats. The first and foremost is the btiing cold - even if there isn't an all-consuming blizzard, the cold's still somewhere between "unbearable" and "thousands of knives biting down and tearing chunks off". The second is where you would like to head to. Accrording to scout information, the vincinity is of gentle, rolling hills of snow going as far as miles upon miles, shone upon only by the lights from the two moons above you. There's a pair of frost giants heading toward the generation direction where you are resting, as well as a herd of auroches on the move at the opposite direction.
  5. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's more about what you wish to do now, more than anything else.
  6.  
  7. [8:35 PM] Eon: Esker has prepaared both Speak with Animals and Animal Friendship, so she's definitely leaning towards the bison
  8. [8:37 PM] Mizuki: (I need to pick a spell after leveling up, give me a moment :sadpopo:)
  9. [8:37 PM] Mizuki: (no need to wait for me)
  10. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There really isn't much present people)
  11. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So like, take your time - we mightn't even take off)
  12. [8:45 PM] Mizuki: (I think I'll pick Clairvoyance)
  13. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :surprisedpopo:
  14. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Remember to pay 100GP for the spell component, which isn't consumed.
  15. [8:46 PM] Mizuki: (yeah, I just noticed)
  16. [8:46 PM] Mizuki: (changed my mind :sadpopo:)
  17. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: O-oh
  18. [8:47 PM] Eon: (do we have haste memes yet?)
  19. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of course not.
  20. [8:49 PM] Mizuki: (n-no but)
  21. [8:49 PM] Mizuki: (It spends concentration ;-;)
  22. [8:50 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, is it possible to get an extra concentration "slot"? :sadpopo:)(edited)
  23. [8:50 PM] Eon: (what else are you even concentrating on anyway?)
  24. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hahahahahahahahah
  25. [8:51 PM] Mizuki: (energy conflux!)
  26. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No Mizu no, no multiple concentration slots
  27. [8:51 PM] Mizuki: (ah ;-;)
  28. [8:52 PM] Mizuki: one more thing,
  29. [8:52 PM] Mizuki: how would blink work?
  30. [8:52 PM] Mizuki: would you make things fun™?
  31. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ?
  32. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Blank works as usual
  33. [8:53 PM] Mizuki: what happens on the ethereal plane? :sadpopo:
  34. [8:53 PM] Mizuki: is it just a way to hide?
  35. [8:54 PM] Eon: people can't slap you on the ethereal plane so
  36. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's basically "End of turn, I have 1/2 chance of becoming ethereal, becoming Not a Target for anything unless they are etereal"
  37. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You "blink" back to the world at start of your turn, and get to check again for etherealness at end of turn
  38. [8:55 PM] Mizuki: that's pretty boring
  39. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, Ghost Touch weapons aren't a thing in 5e, so
  40. [8:55 PM] Eon: I mean, what do you want more of?
  41. [8:55 PM] Eon: like you can't exactly get more damage
  42. [8:56 PM] Eon: Magic Circle :thinking:
  43. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: only a few things in D&D can Ethereal it up, like :ghost:
  44. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  45.  
  46. [8:57 PM] Mizuki: mhmm
  47. [8:57 PM] Mizuki: I think I'm picking bestow curse then...
  48. [8:57 PM] Mizuki: it might be useful one day
  49. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: TENSER'S FLOATING DISK
  50. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :rainbowpopo:
  51. [8:58 PM] Mizuki: but that's a level 1 spell!
  52. [8:58 PM] Mizuki: I'm picking the one from my level up first
  53. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can pick lower level spells
  54. [8:58 PM] Mizuki: I'll pick the extra two from the library later
  55. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  56. [8:59 PM] Mizuki: :blobthinking:
  57. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's most useful for when you have a mount.
  58. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, it's most useful when you have a mount.
  59. [9:01 PM] Mizuki: I'll pick bestow curse for the level up, I'll think about the others later :sadpopo:)
  60. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, then.
  61. [9:01 PM] Mizuki: ( @Players is it gonna happen?)
  62. [9:02 PM] Eon: :thinking:
  63. [9:02 PM] Eon: probably not
  64. [9:02 PM] Runic: Maybe
  65. [9:02 PM] Runic: I didn't take a nap today, not expecting a session to happen
  66.  
  67. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d1
  68. [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d1]: 1, Result: 1
  69. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: we'll continue where we left off yesterday, where is nowhere, really.
  70. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright. Beside for the information on the Dream-Eater Demon retrieved from Infinite Library finally being made available to you, adventurers, there are some more immediate threats. The first and foremost is the btiing cold - even if there isn't an all-consuming blizzard, the cold's still somewhere between "unbearable" and "thousands of knives biting down and tearing chunks off". The second is where you would like to head to. Accrording to scout information, the vincinity is of gentle, rolling hills of snow going as far as miles upon miles, shone upon only by the lights from the two moons above you. There's a pair of frost giants heading toward the generation direction where you are resting, as well as a herd of auroches on the move at the opposite direction.
  71. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's more about what you wish to do now, more than anything else.
  72.  
  73. [8:17 PM] Eon: (Again, Esker has prepared both Animal friend friend spells, so I vote for auroches!)
  74. [8:20 PM] Mizuki: (just a moment)
  75. [8:22 PM] Mizuki: ( @Players ! )
  76. [8:22 PM] Faerie: (Reporting in, hello. Looks like we're starting)
  77. [8:25 PM] Bot Fodder: (Present.)
  78. [8:25 PM] Runic: (Ohayo)
  79. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: o7
  80.  
  81. [8:28 PM] Mizuki: "If Esker says she can deal with the Aurochs, it's probably the best idea" - Said Alicia tying the hag's head to her belt. - "I'll take this with us, just in case..."
  82. [8:29 PM] Faerie: Razmik's where we left off last time: taking small, lazy steps off to the auroch side of the road. He's not voting, as much as he's simply... walking in whatever direction, not caring much where. He then realizes it's not clear where he's supposed to be going, and so stops to glance back at the group.
  83. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The slain hag's head lulls, her tongue hanging out, and sways - quickly frozen by the element.
  84. [8:29 PM] Bot Fodder: "... You, uh. You're going to carry that?" John asks hesitantly.
  85. [8:29 PM] Eon: "How ironic. Hags usually carry bits and pieces of people instead." Esker muses.
  86. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow pulls the cloak he recently obtained closer to himself - the Winter Wolf pelt being exceptional in warding off cold.
  87. [8:30 PM] Faerie: It doesn't sound (heh) like he's got much to say, right now.
  88. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your two wyverns are huddling with each other for warmth. They are sluggish and slow in this weather.
  89. [8:30 PM] Mizuki: "I don't like it either..." - She complained - "But in case we end up having to confront those giants, it might save us."
  90. [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The current ambient temperature is around negative 10 celcius - despite it being clear in the sky, you can visibly see your breath. Breathing, in itself, is somewhat painful if you are not used to the temperature, as the cold air seems to slice at your lungs.
  91. [8:32 PM] Faerie: Razmik takes notice of the dangling head on Alicia's person, and is relieved that it's her carrying it and not him. Spoiling their food by putting it in contact with something like that would be the last thing they'd want!
  92. [8:32 PM] Runic: Lexon shivers from the cold, "I was really hoping it'd get a lot warmer after killing her, but this place still sucks"
  93. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That, and it's relatively dark - with only moonlight as your guide, those without darkvisions (So you humans) have vision range of 20ft and 20ft more of dim. Which, well - isn't too bad. It's about the same as light and torchlight, actually.
  94. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those with darkvision has normal darkvision range, obviously :heart:
  95. [8:33 PM] Bot Fodder: "So... you're going to... throw it at them?"
  96. [8:33 PM] Eon: "Anyway, perhaps we should discuss this inside the tiny hut over some hot tea instead of the biting frost?"
  97. [8:33 PM] Bot Fodder: John attempts to understand. He fails.
  98. [8:34 PM] Eon: Esker turns around. Ah, their mopy bard was nowhere to be seen. At least the Tiny Hut would hold, right?
  99. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: "John please, we were discussing about showing it to the giants just now. About proving our strenght and all that stuff." - She said turning to John(edited)
  100. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That would be nice, mhmm - except, well - Kirie seems to have woken up in real life, and is not present. The spell still exist, but without its controller, that'd be the last you'll be able to use a shelter.
  101. [8:34 PM] Faerie: Razmik's deems it prudent to cast some more light on the matter. With Salamander. What do you mean, I already made that joke?
  102. (Bright light out to 40 feet, dim light for 40 more)
  103. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, Alicia, you wouldn't happen to know Leomund's Tiny Hut as well, right..." Shadow asks, huffing cold air.
  104. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Given creature limits, having 2 Tiny Huts will be prettttty good)
  105. [8:35 PM] Mizuki: (I-I only know how to explode stuff, okay?)
  106. [8:35 PM] Faerie: (Ahahahaha, :happypopo:)
  107. [8:35 PM] Eon: (a confession!)
  108.  
  109. [8:36 PM] Eon: (that's 2-nil in favor of the bison atm ;-;)
  110. [8:36 PM] Mizuki: "Sorry Shadow, I don't."(edited)
  111. [8:36 PM] Bot Fodder: John wasn't there for the explanation. Not that it'd have helped.
  112. [8:37 PM] Faerie: (OOC, bisons here)
  113. [8:37 PM] Bot Fodder: (John's armor is frost-resistant. Does it help here?)
  114. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow grumbles a bit. "Well.. Most of my spell doesn't generate heat..."
  115. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  116. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, you have no idea what other people are talking about. Your armor is granting you air-conditioned situation inside, and it's pleasant and temperate. (It feels around 15 to 25 degree or so, so colder than room temperature, for you)
  117.  
  118. [8:38 PM] Eon: (3 is enough to win the vote so..)
  119. [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In any case, what will you do now?
  120. [8:38 PM] Eon: (err, recelle and shadow get a say, I guess.)
  121. [8:38 PM] Mizuki: "Anyway, shall we head to the Aurochs then?" - Asked Alicia turning to Esker.
  122. [8:39 PM] Eon: Esker nods. Though, it'll feel kind of weird for her to talk the first step..
  123. [8:39 PM] Faerie: ''...''
  124. Razmik awaits, blade in hand. He just wants to get to drink some normal tea and regain his mojo, truthfully.
  125. [8:39 PM] Mizuki: She will explain John what happened on the way.
  126. [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shrugs, she doesn't have strong opinion either way.
  127. [8:39 PM] Bot Fodder: John is used to wearing full chain-and-leather armor in the dog days of summer. Besides, the cold never bothered him anyway!
  128. [8:39 PM] Eon: (botpls)
  129. [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow stares at Esker for a moment, before voicing, "I prefer glorious combat with the giants. But that's an aside - let's do what gets us out of this damn cold first."
  130. [8:40 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly nods at Shadow's request
  131. [8:41 PM] Eon: Shrugging, Esker will start walking towards the bison, beckoning the rest with one hand, the other hand carrying a Produce Flame in a futile attempt to ward off the cold
  132. [8:41 PM] Faerie: ''Can we worry about glory after ensuring at least some safety? Rather hellish, the cold here.''
  133. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Bison, by the way, wouldn't be able to survive in the cold conditions.
  134. [8:41 PM] Eon: "Like the Nine Hells itself froze over.." Esker muses.
  135. [8:42 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hmm... Fighting giants out in the open sounds rough, at any rate. Even if we face them, we should look for somewhere better to do it." John offers his tactical assessment. He can't imagine what dealing with giantkin would be like without the benefit of a sturdy wall and ample manpower.
  136. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I must protest - there are frozen portions of Nine Hells as well." Tot interjects.
  137. [8:42 PM] Faerie: He'll follow after the expert, in this case. Should have brought a cloak like last time...
  138. [8:42 PM] Mizuki: Alicia follows Esker, warming up herself and Azura with her cloak.
  139. [8:43 PM] Faerie: (Koga, does Animal Handling ever come up when dealing with Find Steed's steed?)
  140. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh.
  141. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I actually don't know one-way-or-another.
  142. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The basic grooming etc doesn't require a check, and they are intelligent enough to obey command without Animal Handling,
  143. [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: but if you need them to do something dangerous, Animal Handling may replace Diplomacy.
  144. [8:44 PM] Faerie: (Ah, I see. Alright.)
  145. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, the party's heading toward the Aurochs?
  146. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  147. [8:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 25, Result: 25
  148. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The herd is moving, too, slowly, through the snow.
  149. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Catching up to the aurochs is one thing, but ...
  150. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that it's where the giants are headed toward as well, anyhow. The icy ground shakes and trembles ever-so-slightly, as the frost giants seem to advance toward the group of adventurers.
  151. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are still quite a distance away, but you would be caught right in the middle of everything if this goes on.
  152. [8:48 PM] Eon: (are they visible?)
  153. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Due to the vast expanse of nothing but snow - it's assumed that both parties, giants and you, can see each other at the distance.
  154. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giants don't seem to be in a hurry.
  155. [8:49 PM] Eon: (how far are they, then?)
  156. [8:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Does the weather obscure vision?)
  157. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Around 1200 feet or so.
  158. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The weather currently is calm and clear, but that may change any moment.
  159. [8:49 PM] Eon: (alright, nothing to do for now)
  160. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The aurochs are 1200 feet or so away for now as well.
  161. [8:50 PM] Eon: (wait. how far do you think the giants can travel in 10 minutes?)
  162. [8:51 PM] Faerie: ''Anyone else guessing giants probably know these parts well? I doubt they'd take well to illusionary magic...'', Razmik asked, concerned. He gives Shadow a quick shake of the head, as if considering.
  163. [8:51 PM] Mizuki: (so the giants will reach us before we reach the aurochs?)
  164. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Both giants and aurochs move faster than average short-legged human can.
  165. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the distance between you, aurochs, and giants are the same, yes.
  166. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow shrugs.
  167. [8:52 PM] Runic: "I don't think we can outrun the giants, so a confrontation is probably gonna happen unless we head somewhere else"
  168. [8:52 PM] Runic: "You guys stilll think they're aggressive?"
  169. [8:52 PM] Eon: "I can slow them down.."
  170. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Givena "slow trek", those giants travel 400 ft a minute or so.)(edited)
  171. [8:53 PM] Faerie: Razmik laments the inconvenience of Kirie's sudden departure. He thought not even a cart would do them much good, everything considered.
  172. [8:53 PM] Faerie: ''Slow down?''
  173. [8:54 PM] Eon: Assuming we just continue walking, Esker can just cast plant growth 100 feet from her, in the direction of the giants
  174. [8:54 PM] Mizuki: "... I don't know if that's a good idea, Esker." - Said Alicia
  175. [8:54 PM] Eon: that'll effectively make that 200 ft of growth 1000 ft
  176. [8:54 PM] Faerie: ''And yes, given what we know and what people say of giants? Far more likely than not they're violent, Lexon.'
  177. [8:54 PM] Bot Fodder: "I don't see anything else around, so..." John rubs his chin, then shrugs. "If we want to beat them or talk them down, we should do it before the weather gets worse again."
  178. [8:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (Frost Giants are not nice guys, though.)
  179. [8:55 PM] Faerie: (Plant Growth doesn't work that way, I don't think)
  180. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the frost giants trek closer, you can see their blue-tinted skin, and the gigantic weapons they wield - giant axes.
  181. [8:55 PM] Eon: (I'm making a tiny assumption that plants exist under the snow)
  182. [8:55 PM] Faerie: (Duration's Instantaneous, and stuff)
  183. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Their armor are patchwork of leathers, obviously sewn by something much smaller than them.
  184. [8:55 PM] Eon: (they usually do in the permafrost!)
  185.  
  186. [8:56 PM] Eon: (the overgrown plants last forever, do they?)
  187. [8:56 PM] Mizuki: "Back then while we were deciding on a plan, Azura said showing the giants we killed a winter Hag wasn't a bad idea."
  188. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Until they die of natural causes.)
  189. [8:56 PM] Faerie: ''...I don't care for fighting much, at any rate.'', Razmik comments with sword planted to his side as a makeshift beacon.
  190. [8:57 PM] Eon: Good enough, the group will continue at their pace, and when they reach ~200 ft of the group Esker will cast Plant Growth, agreeable?
  191. [8:58 PM] Faerie: ''But if we are going to do something, we should get moving. Do you think they're going for the roaming animals?''
  192. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of the intelligent party members,
  193. Recelle, and Azura does not have a strong opinion.
  194. Interloper, and Shadow both favor fighting the giants, and both don't have a strong opinion on it should the party choose otherwise.
  195. [8:58 PM] Faerie: (Oh shit, is Interloper there? I haven't casted Find Steed yet)
  196. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot doesn't feel like offering his opinion at this time, instead slinking down into Shadow's shirt.
  197. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Have you dismissed your steed?)
  198. [8:59 PM] Faerie: (Man, it's so cold. Now this is immersion :firepopo:)
  199. [8:59 PM] Faerie: (Nope, but different nightmare segment!)
  200. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Interloper acts the same as the wyverns and Recelle/Shadow/Tot/Azura.)
  201. [9:00 PM] Eon: (I mean, is no one going to object/ agree on the Plant Growth plan ;-;)
  202. [9:00 PM] Faerie: To reiterate (to the rest of the group): would the giants be going for the aurochs? Razmik wouldn't be able to tell.(edited)
  203. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm? You can't tell what the giants want to do at this distance.
  204. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They might be going for you, the aurochs, or is just going somewhere.
  205. [9:01 PM] Faerie: (We know fuckall about this place, is all :sadpopo:)
  206.  
  207. [9:02 PM] Faerie: (Also, plant growth is 'just' a 100 feet radius. This place is likely HUGE)
  208. [9:02 PM] Eon: (then are we just going to butt heads with them?)
  209. [9:02 PM] Eon: (I would cast hall terrain, but that takes 10 fucking minutes)
  210. [9:03 PM] Faerie: (No? That's only happening if we don't come up with something else)
  211. [9:03 PM] Faerie: (Oh, god, it does? RIP, there goes that)
  212. [9:04 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe we should just continue to the Aurochs. We can deal with the giants later, if they continue coming our way." - Said Alicia - "We have the hag's head, better not do anything hostile against them for now."(edited)
  213. [9:04 PM] Faerie: ''Maybe we should have stayed in the room, heh.''
  214. [9:04 PM] Eon: "Guess that means no growing overgrowth under their feet either, I guess." Esker grumbles
  215. [9:05 PM] Runic: "I wish we did Razmik, it was so much more cooler in there"
  216. [9:05 PM] Faerie: Razmik goes over and asks if anyone's hurt from the previous scuffle, checking on everyone at large. (Anyone missing HP?)
  217. [9:05 PM] Eon: (the hag didn't get a fucking move)
  218. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Well, as the party really, really isn't coming to consensus on any plan, we'll move forward?
  219. [9:05 PM] Runic: (Lexon is at full)
  220. [9:06 PM] Runic: (We'll just continue towards the Aurohs for now)
  221. [9:06 PM] Eon: (agreed.)
  222. [9:06 PM] Bot Fodder: (S-sorry! :sadpopo: )
  223. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giants will eventually catch up to the group, being only slightly faster than the group of travellers, in about 8 - 10 minutes.
  224. [9:06 PM] Eon: (we really need a diplomancy face ;-;)
  225. [9:06 PM] Runic: (If we have to deal with the giants, we'll deal with them, through talking or fighting)
  226. [9:07 PM] Faerie: (RIP. The alternative is getting caught regardless, anyway)
  227. [9:07 PM] Eon: Say, can I cast Hall Terrain while walking..
  228. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, yes.
  229. [9:07 PM] Eon: Well there we go..
  230. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Also really, please don't use shorthands or wrong phrases for things if possible, we are recording log and stuff :sadpopo:
  231. [9:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (... Uh, wasn't Raz suppose to be our Face. :sadpopo: )
  232. [9:08 PM] Eon: (I can't spell Hallucinatory Terrain properly!)
  233.  
  234. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright. What will you do with hallucinatory terrain?
  235. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The frost giant pair, both seemingly like warriors, glance at the party as they approach closer, seemingly uneasy from their expression.
  236. [9:08 PM] Faerie: (Good luck, Eon. You're our only and last hope!)
  237. [9:09 PM] Eon: a ravine that stretches the entire cube
  238. [9:09 PM] Eon: seemingly bottomless
  239. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And suddenly, the icy earth behind you suddenly split! A giant gulf stretching 150 feet wide between you and the giants.
  240. [9:10 PM] Eon: "Gee. We should have decided on that from the start.." Esker grumbles, looking for how the giants react
  241. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giants frown... And one shouts at the group.
  242. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In Giant.
  243. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other lifts a boulder of ice, ripping it out from the ground beneath.
  244. [9:11 PM] Eon: (...I'm going to go on a limb and say no one speaks giant)
  245. [9:11 PM] Mizuki: "Whoa!" - Said Alicia surprised - "I thought we were trying to avoid pissing them off!"
  246. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The frost giant shouts for a few moments, repeating some phrase.
  247. [9:12 PM] Eon: "I mean to them it looked like the earth just spilt natur- actually nevermind."
  248. [9:12 PM] Faerie: Razmik twiddles his thumbs, seemingly occupied trying to come up with a way to outrun a giant, icy building with legs.
  249. [9:12 PM] Eon: In hindsight, a 150ft ravine appearing wasn't something that could be consideried natural..
  250. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other frost giant seems to be getting somewhat impatient.
  251. [9:12 PM] Faerie: ''Those sound like words, and not just shouting. Sounds angry, though...''
  252. [9:12 PM] Eon: (keep walking time)
  253. [9:13 PM] Mizuki: (how far are they again?)
  254. [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (150ft or so)
  255. [9:13 PM] Eon: (Hallucinatory Terrain lasts a day)
  256. [9:14 PM] Faerie: Razmik'll shout back, hands cupping around his mouth. In Common :sadpopo:
  257. [9:14 PM] Mizuki: Alicia keeps walking, she lifts the hag's head and waves to the giants, hoping to calm them down.
  258. [9:14 PM] Faerie: ''We do not understand!'', and waves.
  259. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giants frown.
  260. [9:14 PM] Faerie: (At this rate, I just hope they don't mistake Alicia for a hag)
  261. [9:14 PM] Runic: Lexon looks around, panicking a bit
  262. [9:15 PM] Eon: (we're really going to parley with frost giants? alright then)
  263. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The one with the boulder of ice throws it at the group, angrily,
  264. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+9
  265. [9:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 18, Result: 27
  266. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+9 disadvantage
  267. [9:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 15, Result: 24
  268. [9:15 PM] Mizuki: (sheit)
  269. [9:15 PM] Bot Fodder: (Remember when Mizuki wanted to befriend the lich? :^) )
  270. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As it sails across the ravine without issue, landing in front of the group.
  271. [9:15 PM] Eon: (really should have kept walking ;-;)
  272. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a boulder the size of a small cottage, 5ft by 10ft by 5ft or so even as it is planted in the ground.
  273. [9:16 PM] Mizuki: (EON THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT)
  274. [9:16 PM] Eon: (BECAUSE WE STOOD STILL AFTER THAT ;-;)
  275. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The frost giants shout and bicker at each other for a bit.. before start going around the 150ft wide ravine.
  276. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do?
  277. [9:16 PM] Faerie: Hard to say whether they were aiming there, or if they missed?
  278. [9:16 PM] Eon: "We really should err, run."
  279. [9:17 PM] Mizuki: (how many giants?)
  280. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No, the throw was expert.
  281. [9:17 PM] Runic: "Think we can outrun them?"
  282. [9:17 PM] Eon: "Like, really fast."
  283. [9:17 PM] Faerie: (Two giants)
  284. [9:17 PM] Eon: (A warning shot, then)
  285. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It was meant to "miss", Razmik, landing where it should've.
  286. [9:17 PM] Faerie: Noting the boulder's trajectory, Razmik tells the others:
  287. [9:17 PM] Faerie: ''That was a warning shot.''
  288. [9:17 PM] Eon: "Besides, forget talking to them, we can't even speak Giant!"
  289. [9:17 PM] Faerie: ''What do we do, though? They don't share our language.''
  290. [9:18 PM] Eon: "If they can speak Common they sure had ample opportunities to remind us of that"
  291. [9:18 PM] Mizuki: "We can't outrun them, get ready to fight!" - Said Alicia - "I said we should've just kept walking..."
  292. [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, that was an exceptionally beautiful throw, a perfect parabola sways by no wind nor air.
  293. [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The ravine is 150ft wide, so it'll take them a minute or two to get around it.
  294. [9:18 PM] Eon: "Bah. We can at least set up an ambush, then, if we really want to fight.."
  295. [9:19 PM] Eon: Esker looks around, was there any natural cover/terrain they could use?(edited)
  296. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Mmm. Language barrier's a huge issue." Recelle adds. "The only thing we can really do to communicate with them would likely be to shoot at them or something, and that's a rather... Straightforward way of communication."
  297. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's that big boulder.
  298. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can always hide underneath the snow, with minimal amount of digging.
  299. [9:20 PM] Faerie: (I was gonna ask about digging. Uh, that'd be...)
  300. [9:20 PM] Mizuki: Alicia places the hag's head on top of the boulder.
  301. [9:20 PM] Eon: (giants are humanoid, right?)
  302. [9:20 PM] Runic: (How heavy is the boulder?)
  303. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No. Giants are decidingly Giant.)
  304. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They are of their own class of species.)
  305. [9:20 PM] Bot Fodder: "Let's leave!" John suggests helpfully.(edited)
  306. [9:20 PM] Faerie: (They're giants! Also, I think Runic might be onto something)
  307. [9:21 PM] Eon: (but but, they have same arrangment of limbs..)
  308. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The boulder is...
  309. [9:21 PM] Eon: (welp, at least I asked)
  310. [9:21 PM] Faerie: (As do undead and demons!)
  311. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 500 pound?
  312. [9:21 PM] Runic: (That's a little bit too heavy for Lexon alone)
  313. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That giant had to use two hands to throw the distance, and it wasn't in ease per se.
  314. [9:22 PM] Eon: (besides, what were you going to do with it? impress them with a bodybuilding contest?)
  315. [9:22 PM] Faerie: (Two people could lift it, maybe?)
  316. [9:22 PM] Faerie: (Bring it up just in case!)
  317.  
  318. [9:22 PM] Faerie: (Literally yes. What else?)
  319. [9:22 PM] Runic: (You'd be suprised how flexing gets you out of a survival situation)
  320. [9:22 PM] Eon: (well. :thinking: )
  321. [9:23 PM] Bot Fodder: (W-why is everyone trying to communicate with Jotunns? Thor is displeased.)
  322. [9:23 PM] Eon: (frost giants are evil too!)
  323. [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Vola isn't here, in any case)
  324. [9:23 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah if they were here, talking would NOT be a thing.)
  325. [9:23 PM] Runic: "Alright any plans on how we're gonna fight these guys? You think I could wrestle them?"(edited)
  326. [9:23 PM] Faerie: (Because we rolled like shit for History and they don't sell monster manuals at the cornerstore)
  327. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh." Recelle compares the two's size.
  328. [9:24 PM] Eon: "If you could wrestle a giant down, that'll be a tale for the ages..."
  329. [9:24 PM] Mizuki: (everything is fine because we have the Hag's head!)
  330. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You might be able to wrestle his arm with your whole body?"
  331. [9:24 PM] Mizuki: (r-right?)
  332. [9:24 PM] Faerie: ''Wrestling's a bit...'', Razmik pauses. ''No, I don't think we wrestle them, here.''
  333. [9:24 PM] Eon: (even then, we can't parley without being able to speak to one another!)
  334. [9:25 PM] Eon: (it's either slaughter or gtfo atm)
  335. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are towering, 15 - 20 ft. tall or so
  336. [9:25 PM] Mizuki: (well, we can't outrun them, so lets just punch them really hard)
  337. [9:25 PM] Mizuki: (if we need to)
  338. [9:25 PM] Faerie: So, how far away is this boulder, again? How big is it?
  339. [9:25 PM] Eon: Is the terrain ahead of us (in the direction we were going) more favorable for combat?
  340. [9:25 PM] Runic: "Hmmm, yeah okay, maybe not, wrestling is no good"
  341. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The boulder landed neatly next to the group, 5ft away, is 5x10x5 ft, and around 500 pound of rock and ice.
  342. [9:25 PM] Faerie: ''Why don't we make a run for it, then?'', Razmik suggests putting Salamander out.
  343. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The terrain around you is mostly the same.
  344. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A gentle, rolling hill without much slope, and with 6 inches of snow on top of a thick layer of ice.
  345. [9:26 PM] Eon: Stupid featureless snow, Esker complains mentally. It's like someone got really lazy when they filled the world!
  346.  
  347. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So, fight or flight?
  348. [9:27 PM] Eon: "I still say we get as much distance as we can."
  349. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or cast Tongues, or let Lexon wrestle?
  350. [9:27 PM] Eon: ... does someone actually have Tongues here.
  351. [9:27 PM] Faerie: ''If I had to recommend a direction, it'd be downwards. Esker knows her way around snow tunnels, right?'', what's with the small one she had dug earlier.
  352. [9:27 PM] Faerie: (>Tongues
  353. Right.)
  354. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I wish Illiad was here, huh? He'd actually know a thing or two about giants, I bet."
  355. [9:28 PM] Eon: "Well, we can try that again, I guess."
  356. [9:28 PM] Mizuki: (who knows tongues? :sadpopo:)
  357. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Warlocks COULD, but not in Shadow's case. Too busy memeing.)
  358. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Wizards can, obviously.)
  359. [9:28 PM] Mizuki: (n-not this one)
  360. [9:28 PM] Faerie: Razmik sighs. ''I still think fighting two towers like that is a terrible idea, by the by''
  361. [9:28 PM] Eon: (if Mizu wasn't so focused on blowing people up.. :thinking: )
  362.  
  363. [9:28 PM] Eon: Esker will attempt to dig then, Survival?
  364. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Digging and hiding?
  365. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's actually just Stealth.
  366. [9:29 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+6 stealth
  367. [9:29 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 5, Result: 11

  369. [9:29 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 7, Result: 13
  370. [9:29 PM] Faerie: Razmik'll aid her by taking instructions if she needs digging more, obviously.
  371. [9:29 PM] Eon: wait.
  372. [9:29 PM] Eon: we have the cloak
  373. [9:29 PM] Eon: ignore the second one
  374. [9:29 PM] Faerie: (Some people have the cloak. How do we resolve here?)
  375. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given a bit of preparation, you dug and hid yourself deeper in the snow, Esker.
  376. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rest of the group, well....
  377. [9:29 PM] Mizuki: (medium armor gives disadvantage to stealth, right?)
  378. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The one you are wearing, at least)
  379. [9:30 PM] Mizuki: (anyway, Alicia will do the same)
  380. [9:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik is digging! (Depends on the armor)
  381. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow frowns...
  382. [9:30 PM] Eon: ERR
  383. [9:30 PM] Eon: CAN I
  384. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Sec, fam."
  385. [9:30 PM] Eon: cast pass without trace
  386. [9:30 PM] Eon: ..in the snow.
  387. [9:30 PM] Runic: Lexon takes a swig of mead, stretches, and hops from foot to foot in preperation
  388. [9:30 PM] Mizuki: With a sigh, Alicia starts digging as well, hoping the hag's head on top of the boulder helps somehow.
  389. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow casts invisibility on the less stealthy member of the party - Alicia, Razmik, and John.
  390. [9:30 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3

  396. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Fam, please, you hide with your butt sticking out." Shadow says, slapping invisibilty on Alicia's back, making her invisible.
  397. [9:31 PM] Bot Fodder: John is actually pretty good at digging holes, but thanks Shadow for the help.
  398. [9:31 PM] Faerie: ''Wha, wait...'', Razmik pats himself down across, getting used to the prospect of not being able to see his own nose. ''Wait, wait-''
  399. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The wyverns look at each other, and takes to the sky.
  400. [9:31 PM] Eon: (alicia is actually an ostrich!)

  407. [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :troubledkoga: )
  408. [9:32 PM] Mizuki: (:troubledkoga:)
  409. [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle hides with a bit of difficulty, while Shadow takes his training as a member of the thief's guild to heart.
  410. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With most of the folks hidden and out of sight one way or another, the giants arrived.
  411. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+3

  415. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: (pls notice the head :sadpopo:)
  416. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... one of the giant looks at the group's general direction, and smacks his forehead, grumbling in giant.
  417. [9:33 PM] Eon: (this is so :sadpopo: )
  418. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He walks over, ignoring the party, and starts inspecting the head on the boulder.
  419. [9:34 PM] Faerie: Last time he tried being sneaky, Razmik dropped all pretense after around 10 seconds, so he'll just remain as still as able. No trying to mimic Shadow's usual stance, or anything.
  420. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He pockets the head, before grunting, gesturing.
  421. [9:34 PM] Runic: Lexon is still side-stepping, looking at the giant, with a ready face
  422. [9:34 PM] Mizuki: (:blobsweats:)
  423. [9:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (Out of curiosity, what would the DC have been to lift the boulder? :thinking: )
  424. [9:34 PM] Faerie: (We got bailed super hard)
  425. [9:34 PM] Runic: (999)
  426. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If it's within your lift capacity?)
  427. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( nothing, you just lift it)
  428. [9:34 PM] Faerie: (I think you can lift up to 15xSTR in pounds)
  429. [9:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (S-seriously)
  430. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( if it's out of it, that depends)
  431. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
  432. [9:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (Dang.)
  433. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Adventurers can bench press a ton in the literal sense when they git gud)
  434. [9:35 PM] Eon: (that's like 28 str!)
  435. [9:35 PM] Faerie: (300 pounds with 20 STR, but I don't know how doing it across two people would work. Advantage if we go by RAI?)
  436. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giant's gesturing, trying to play charade.
  437. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Insight at disadvantage, for not sharing a common language, if you wish to understand the giant.
  438. [9:36 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+4

  457. [9:37 PM] Runic: 'He wants to fight' Lexon thinks
  458. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Most of you have little idea, but,
  459. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, you are able to understand up to a point.
  460. [9:37 PM] Eon: (Skilled :smugpopo: )
  461. [9:38 PM] Eon: (get yours for the low low price of drawing your brain out!)

  466. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giant seems to be concerned about your presense in the land, of which you are not supposed to be in, but.... Put that aside, the giant asks for you to seek shelter immediately.
  467. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, you too understand something on those lines.
  468. [9:38 PM] Faerie: Against his better judgement -seriously, why isn't Razmik trying to get as far away as possible from those underneath?-, he tries reading the giant's mannerisms, tone, and such like you'd attempt to read a coloring book. That's to say, to not much avail.
  469. [9:39 PM] Eon: Esker was really really confused. Shelter? From something the giants were afraid of themselves?
  470. [9:39 PM] Faerie: (What a development)
  471. [9:39 PM] Bot Fodder: He's... concerned? Huh. That's really nice of them. John isn't quite sure what the boulder toss was for, though.
  472. [9:39 PM] Eon: Esker peeks up from above the snow, attempting a gesture at "Why?"
  473. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other giant grunts, and starts ripping rocks and blocks of ice off the ground, building a makeshift wall of ice, and then an igloo-like structure.
  474. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  475. [9:39 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
  476. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 2 to 3 minutes later, there's a... filmsy-looking structure that looks like it'll fall apart any time.
  477. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other giant grunts, evidently thinking, "Close enough."
  478. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The giants, uh,
  479. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  480. [9:40 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
  481. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Does not understand you, Esker.
  482. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: After a moment of charade, the giant grunts, points to the structure, before turning toward the herd of aurochs, evidently had enough to do with you.
  483. [9:41 PM] Bot Fodder: "...Guys, I think we can come out," John says. "They can probably see our footprints anyway."
  484. NEW MESSAGES
  485. [9:41 PM] Runic: Lexon is still standing, still ready for a fight
  486. [9:41 PM] Faerie: Razmik is getting very mixed signals, so he stands in place looking at his invisible feet placed atop the visible snowy sheet.
  487. [9:41 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs, guess she was never good at charades. She attempts to bow thanks to the leaving frost giants
  488. [9:41 PM] Bot Fodder: He'd realized this earlier, but didn't want to ruin the mood.
  489.  
  490. [9:41 PM] Eon: Wait. The auroches? That was her plan!
  491. [9:41 PM] Runic: "Huh, thought they wanted to challenge us, maybe I intimidated them with my powerstance" Lexon mutters(edited)
  492. [9:42 PM] Faerie: 'Wow, John's right', he thought. He wonders if they could have handled that any more disastrously.
  493. [9:42 PM] Mizuki: A confused dispells Shadow's invisibility and joins the rest of the party
  494. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The invisibility spell wears off...
  495. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow's head pops out from the snow, and scans around.
  496. [9:43 PM] Eon: "Apparently the Frost Giants are afraid of something. Afraid enough to tell us to seek shelther immediately."
  497. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh." Shadow seems confused.
  498. [9:43 PM] Faerie: (Did Shadow break concentration?)
  499. [9:43 PM] Eon: "That said, they headed off in the direction of the auroches.. Probably to hunt." Esker warns
  500. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ends his concentration on the spell, so it's easier to communicate with the group.
  501. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So like, there aren't disembodied voices trying to speak and the like. :smugpopo:
  502. [9:44 PM] Eon: "If we still want information out them, we might need to hurry, but we risk what the giants warned us of"(edited)
  503. [9:44 PM] Mizuki: "I think they just want to protect us from the cold..." - She said, thinking. - "That's... really nice of them."
  504. [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: John waves the giants goodbye as they leave.
  505. [9:44 PM] Faerie: Reappearing, Razmik asks the rest what they make of it. Luring prey into a false sense of security in such a roundabout way was probably not a thing giants did? Probably?(edited)
  506. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Frost giants are not that nice." Azura's voice suddenly sounds, in Alicia's head. "There's something else on the side. Unless it's different here, or the individual feels some need to do so."
  507. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: From what you've recalled poorly about frost giants, they'd sooner smack you than using such a tactics, Razmik.
  508. [9:45 PM] Bot Fodder: (We can't hear Azura, so it's probably up to Alicia to relay this.)
  509. [9:45 PM] Faerie: ''So, what was that all about, anyway?'', Razmik speaks up.
  510. [9:45 PM] Eon: "I have a really bad feeling about what they told us to hide from, regardless."
  511. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You too, fam?" Shadow says. "If it's something that giants are afraid of, damn."
  512. [9:46 PM] Eon: "If they built a makeshift shelther for us though, I'm guessing it's to do with the weather."
  513. [9:46 PM] Faerie: ''I mean, you only hear about giants from stories, but aren't some of them a bit like orcs?''
  514. [9:46 PM] Bot Fodder: "Is the cold dangerous to even Frost Giants?" John asks. "Because if they're not... we should probably be worried."
  515. [9:46 PM] Eon: "Hmmph. What's next, the sky is going to rain meteors?" Esker muses.
  516. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh..." Recelle shrugs. "They are frost giants, right? I don't think cold never bothered them, anyway."
  517. [9:47 PM] Mizuki: "Azura said that usually frost giants aren't nearly that nice. There's probably something else involved."
  518. [9:47 PM] Faerie: ''...Maybe the aurochs are dangerous?'', Raz stammers out. ''I doubt that...''
  519.  
  520. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The frost giant is actually the MC, and he's known to dual-wield scimitars and fight against other frost giants and their misguided morality, and has a few trilogies after him :thinking: )
  521. [9:48 PM] Eon: Esker curses the absence of the missing mopy bard, she was really missing the Tiny Hut now.
  522. [9:48 PM] Faerie: How did the makeshift igloo hold up? Was it big enough to house non-giants?
  523. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh
  524. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's big enough to house non-giants, and giants would have difficulty - but could still fit.
  525. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, it's very shoddy, has holes inbetween the rocks, type of deal.
  526. [9:49 PM] Faerie: (The way it acted reminded me more of a Firbolg, if anything...)
  527. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's about as good as a random rock formation in warding away the cold wind.
  528. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Which is to say - not very well.
  529. [9:49 PM] Eon: "..They did say soon. Maybe we should go hide instead and observe? I could always reinforce the thing with Plant Growth."
  530.  
  531. [9:50 PM] Faerie: Realizing that it'd take people their size several times more what the structure costed the giant in time, Razmik asks if they'll be using it. Could do with some patch-up, by the looks of it.
  532. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a definite possibility - which would mean you are establishing a camp for the time being?
  533. [9:51 PM] Eon: If a bloody Frost Giant warns you to hide, you probably should :thinking:(edited)
  534. [9:51 PM] Faerie: ''Or we could keep digging, and have Shadow scout above with Tot, but well...'' Razmk scratches his head.
  535. [9:51 PM] Eon: "Dang, Kirie took the broom with her, did she?"
  536. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Broom?"
  537. [9:51 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, although maybe not in a a construction screaming ''come wreck this'')
  538. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems confused for a moment.
  539. [9:51 PM] Eon: "The one we err, obtained from the hag."
  540. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Esker, are you having a fever?" Recelle seems concerned.
  541. [9:52 PM] Faerie: ''The weird looking staff?''
  542. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle leans in, feeling Esker's temperature, before frowning. "... No, you are fine."
  543. [9:52 PM] Eon: (oh fug. Nightmare and all that.)
  544. [9:52 PM] Faerie: The one that was letting Kirie fly? Yeah, that could have been useful! Could
  545. [9:52 PM] Bot Fodder: John eyes Recelle cautiously. This... isn't right. Recelle isn't from this part of the nightmare, so why...?
  546. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That was a stick and decidingly NOT a broom.
  547. [9:52 PM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't recall any swept floors, though.
  548. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You mean the stick that the hag was carrying around? I don't think, uh... People can use that to sweep the floor."
  549. [9:53 PM] Bot Fodder: Whew. That almost broke John's immersion!(edited)
  550. [9:53 PM] Eon: "... I might actually have a fever now." Esker murmurs sheepishly, face turning red.
  551. [9:54 PM] Faerie: (Bheur hags just carry pale-ass ugly sticks they use to amplify their magic, or something)
  552. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle just stares at Esker strangely for a moment, before turning to Shadow, who shrugs helplessly. "Don't look at me, I didn't have a chance to take it from Kirie before things happened."
  553. [9:54 PM] Bot Fodder: (Greystaffs or something, was it?)
  554. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
  555.  
  556. [9:55 PM] Eon: Oh well, does anyone have anything that can help fortify/ construct a shelter? I prefer to not die to the White Frost ™
  557. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, if it's scouting, I can do a limited form of it..." Shadow says, wielding Tot, who resigns to his fate.
  558. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Moments later, Tot's release to the sky, while Shadow's sharing his senses with familiar.
  559. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While that's happening, Recelle shrugs and starts looking around the area, "If we are waiting for something, we might as well as make camp - gahter food for people and the like. We used up most of our supplies during the last stretch last time."
  560. [9:56 PM] Faerie: Right. Razmik gets to it, just in case. Better to put himself to use while people sorted things out, even if they decide against using the shelter later.
  561. [9:57 PM] Eon: "We don't need to eat for a year, right?"
  562. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pauses for a moment, "... Force of habit, heh."
  563. [9:57 PM] Eon: That actually came in very handy right now, Esker was surprised.
  564. [9:57 PM] Faerie: ''We have plenty of tea still, at least.'', Razmik mutters. Loudly. It's like he can't hear Esker.
  565. [9:58 PM] Eon: Esker follows Raz, A good ol' Plant Growth should help fortify that dingy thing, at least.
  566. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The wind picks up slightly, buffeting the group.
  567. [9:58 PM] Faerie: ''We'll need food, yes.''. It's hard to keep the cold away on an empty stomach, he's sure everyone'd agree.
  568. [9:59 PM] Eon: "I guess that's our cue." Esker shouts to the rest of the group, waving her arms to cast Plant Growth on the shelter
  569. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You cast plant growth on the structure and around the place, but...
  570. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll Nature.
  571. [9:59 PM] Eon: :sadpopo:
  572. [9:59 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+4 nature
  573. [9:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 4, Result: 8
  574. [9:59 PM] Eon: ...
  575. [10:00 PM] Eon: (Esker is not a very studious druid)
  576. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ice and rock crack, as the structure crumble, pierced apart from within, as blades of young grass grows out.
  577. [10:00 PM] Eon: (err.)
  578. [10:00 PM] Faerie: (Oh, fugg, Nature's Int and not Wis? Wew)
  579. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At least the area around the place is now overgrown.
  580. [10:00 PM] Eon: (I guess we're dead.)
  581. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a bit of greenery - the only greenery in miles, even.
  582. [10:00 PM] Eon: Esker blinks. That definitely was not intentional.
  583. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: "I don't know how you guys understood those giants so well..." - Said Alicia - "You sure they told us to hide right now?"
  584.  
  585. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  586. [10:01 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 28, Result: 28
  587. [10:01 PM] Eon: "Well. Err. Erm.." Esker stumbles furiously
  588. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, no luck would really save you. Now, back to square one, I suppose.
  589. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do, adventurers?
  590. [10:02 PM] Eon: I CAST MENDING
  591. [10:02 PM] Faerie: Well, fine. ''...Okay, then. Time to dig!''.
  592. Razmik exits the patch of grass and begins digging, employing the back of his shield as leverage.
  593. [10:02 PM] Bot Fodder: "I, er... I guess I'm not really sure? It just seemed like it..." John backpedals, unable to back up his assertion.(edited)
  594. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have some plant growth that's quickly dying out from the cold, inhospitable condition around you, and an illustionary ravine behind you.
  595. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Mending can't fix the broken pieces of rock and ice - the structure's mostly shattered, crumbled mess.
  596. [10:03 PM] Eon: (fug. it's too big.)
  597. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow scratches his head,
  598. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  599. [10:03 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 2, Result: 2
  600. [10:03 PM] Faerie: ''Why don't we stop looking at the scenery and get down to work, then?'', Razmik suggests.
  601. [10:03 PM] Bot Fodder: (This would be a REALLY great time to ask for advice. Cough.)
  602. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Unable to make out of anything of note.
  603. [10:03 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shrugs - "Should we keep moving?"
  604. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, yeah - it's not too late to go after the giants and aurochs." Recelle nods.
  605.  
  606. [10:04 PM] Faerie: The cold wouldn't really allow you to move without issue, right? Barring John
  607. [10:04 PM] Bot Fodder: (A locator spell or maybe consulting a higher power? Hint wink nudge etc.)
  608. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, for the time being the cold - it's alright. It's draining, but nothing that would kill you.
  609. [10:04 PM] Eon: "..." Esker was really too sheepish to speak, let alone contribute to discussion
  610. [10:05 PM] Eon: .......!
  611. [10:05 PM] Eon: (that's my second level 4 slot tho :sadpopo: )
  612. [10:05 PM] Runic: "We don't really have any food at the moment, so I think we should concern ourselves with that first before we decide to make camp for the night"
  613. [10:05 PM] Eon: (we don't need food for an entire year)
  614. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Well, for your morale it'd be nice to have)
  615. [10:05 PM] Bot Fodder: (Koga, do we still need water?)
  616. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  617. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, erm, it was intended to be food or water.)
  618. [10:06 PM] Bot Fodder: (That's good.)
  619. [10:06 PM] Faerie: (I'm keeping food for at least 10 days, since we got to prepare for like a week beforehand)
  620. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That said, the party should have way to generate water, and at the very least Recelle carries waterskins.)
  621. [10:06 PM] Eon: wait.
  622. [10:06 PM] Eon: Divination is a ritual
  623. [10:06 PM] Eon: pfft.
  624. [10:06 PM] Eon: Lets do this
  625. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  626. [10:06 PM] Bot Fodder: (But while we need neither sleep nor sustainance, we can still freeze and/or get tired, so.)
  627.  
  628. [10:07 PM] Faerie: (I'd be surprised if someone weren't carrying a waterskin. Also, do you wanna risk something fucking us over hardcore in those 10 minutes?)
  629. [10:07 PM] Bot Fodder: (I was also trying to get Raz to finally try talking to his god or something.)
  630. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways,
  631. [10:07 PM] Eon: (well, if you want to insta hotline, that's my level 4 spellslot!)
  632. [10:07 PM] Bot Fodder: (He did have that spell, right?)
  633. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, you are casting Divination as a Ritual?
  634. [10:07 PM] Faerie: (I've got level 2 spells tops, man. Do you want me to Aid you? :smugsatori:)
  635. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (reminder that ritual does not cost you spell slots :sadpopo: )
  636. [10:08 PM] Eon: yes. Ring up Mielikki
  637. [10:08 PM] Faerie: (Mielikki?)
  638. [10:08 PM] Eon: yeah, but it takes a while, which is what Fae was getting at
  639. [10:08 PM] Bot Fodder: Tell her John said hi!
  640. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Bringing out a small incense and a piece of magical wood, you make a clearing, lit the wood on fire, and a faint smoke rises...
  641. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ask your question.
  642. [10:08 PM] Eon: (dammit. should have thought about this.)
  643. [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (How are you allowed to phrase the question?)
  644. [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yes or no?)
  645. [10:09 PM] Mizuki: (Eon PLS)
  646. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  647.  
  648. [10:09 PM] Faerie: Razmik is getting anxious at the great amount of nothing occupying the group's hands as they collectively died a slow death.
  649. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So you'd have to be specific on what you want to ask, not "What do?", but you get a good reply on it)
  650. [10:09 PM] Eon: "What is the threat that the Frost Giant warned us to take shelter for?"
  651. [10:09 PM] Faerie: (''HEY GOD SHOULD WE BEFRIEND THE LICH'')
  652. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, fuck off.jpg)
  653. [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: ("How to survive?" might work...?)
  654. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You get Van-sensei saying FUCK♂YOU instead, actually, Fae)(edited)
  655. [10:10 PM] Mizuki: (inb4 the cold)
  656. [10:10 PM] Faerie: (Or 'where to go for shelter', less vague?)
  657.  
  658. [10:10 PM] Eon: (well. actually. that would be a lot smarter.)(edited)
  659. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You question about the threat,
  660. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And then, the air seems to chill for a moment,
  661. [10:11 PM] Eon: (I am flopping all over the place today :sadpopo: )
  662. [10:11 PM] Faerie: (Which is why you usually think these out before the ritual! This same thing happened the last time we used Divination)
  663. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "A cold wind of hatred, one that rips life and turn them into death, a curse upon this land."
  664. [10:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, um. I was hoping you'd ask what to do~)
  665. [10:11 PM] Eon: at least she was specific!
  666. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A short whisper sounds, to the group, a feminine voice, "The Wight Wind."
  667. [10:12 PM] Eon: (Thanks Mielikki!)
  668. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The connection established by the ritual then breaks, shattering as the smoke is blown apart by the wind.
  669. [10:12 PM] Eon: "...We should really dig down then."
  670. [10:12 PM] Eon: (waaaaaaait.)
  671. [10:12 PM] Eon: (turns them into death.)
  672. [10:12 PM] Eon: (are we going to fight fuggin undead still)
  673. [10:12 PM] Eon: (kogapls)
  674. [10:13 PM] Faerie: (That was never up for debate)
  675. [10:13 PM] Mizuki: "Should have asked how to avoid that." - She complained
  676. [10:13 PM] Bot Fodder: John frowns. "I don't know if digging is going to stop whatever this... wind thing is."
  677. [10:13 PM] Eon: "I don't think I get to ask questions with 'and's in them!"
  678. [10:13 PM] Faerie: Ring any bells, though? Is that name anything someone in the group's ever heard?
  679. [10:13 PM] Bot Fodder: "Uh, do you get two more questions...?" John sorta thinks he heard that somewhere!
  680. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The name?
  681. [10:13 PM] Bot Fodder: .... Shut up. This isn't his area.
  682. [10:14 PM] Eon: "She's a goddess, not a genie." Esker's brow furrows.
  683. [10:14 PM] Faerie: (Name of the curse, Wight Wind)
  684. Still, ''Mielikki, was it?'', Razmik remarks surprised. That wasn't expected!
  685. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .... Nature, or History, at disadvantage unless you declare yourself someone from a cold region, such as Icewind Dale or whatever in your native Prime Material.
  686. [10:14 PM] Bot Fodder: 'No, she's a horse,' John thinks to himself.
  687. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If it's digging..." Recelle pauses, "I can do that." ... And takes out her pistol.
  688. [10:15 PM] Eon: "Well. Druid. Nature. It's can't be that unexpected.."
  689. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait, what are you gonna do-"
  690. [10:15 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+4 History

  698. [10:15 PM] Faerie: ...Razmik is puzzled, and really, really wonders where Esker was from.
  699. [10:15 PM] Bot Fodder: (BARBARIAN SEAL CLUBBER FROM THE NORTH is not John, sadly.)
  700. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle fires a Shatter Shot into the ground, causing a 10ft radius hole in the ground. :firepopo:
  701. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
  702. [10:16 PM] Bot Fodder: "Wow!" John is impressed. But how deep is it?
  703. [10:16 PM] Eon: "Wait what are yo-" Esker cut herself off, staring at the perfectly round hole
  704. [10:17 PM] Bot Fodder: ... He also hopes that shot didn't echo for miles in this empty waste. But still, wow!
  705. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 10ft radius - so it's 20ft deep, with just a big enough entrance for someone... Well, and it crumbles a bit, giving a 10ft entrance.
  706. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I can do it again." Recelle says, giddy.
  707. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow raises his eyebrow. Did... Did Recelle caught something from Alicia?
  708. [10:17 PM] Eon: Esker pales. Wouldn't the second shot crumble the layer above?
  709. [10:17 PM] Faerie: ''...How?'', Razmik asks. That's not one of those bullets Alicia had been giving her, was it?
  710. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Did you caught Aliciaitis?" Shadow actually voices his concern.
  711. [10:18 PM] Faerie: Still, he asks himself if they couldn't have been digging during all that time it took Esker to complete the ritual.
  712. [10:18 PM] Eon: Esker blinks at Shadow, sure it sounded ridiculous at first, but when she thought about it..
  713. [10:18 PM] Eon: Recelle was practically the spilting image of Alicia!
  714. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle blinks, before chuckling a bit. "No, no - it's..." Recelle explains her moment of insight, and some research she's done while in the infinite library, finding some things that Stellar Elves are compatible to.
  715. [10:19 PM] Eon: well, in mannerism right now, anyway.
  716. [10:19 PM] Mizuki: (How far are the giants?)
  717. [10:19 PM] Bot Fodder: "Man, you could make a dwarf jealous, seeing an elf dig like that-- er, not that they all, like, dig. As such." John clears his throat.
  718. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The giants are about half a mile/a mile away)
  719. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... On Wight Wind, It's a tale you've heard about another place called Orixia, a land frozen in ice. But uh... You don't have additional information on it!
  720.  
  721. [10:20 PM] Eon: "On the side, I'm fairly sure the frost giants were going to protect the auroches, then."
  722. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, no sense in waiting!" Recelle says, excited,
  723. [10:20 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks about, as if to confirm that none were around to hear that. He thinks he's in the clear.(edited)
  724. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait stop-
  725. [10:20 PM] Faerie: Wait, though, Razmik didn't get it. ''That wasn't magic, was it? Like those bullets - did you do something yourself, this time?''
  726. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle fires a second shot into the ground!
  727. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ground rumbles!
  728. [10:20 PM] Faerie: Why is basic magical theory so hard to understand?!
  729. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+9

  737. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Esker
  738. [10:20 PM] Eon: reflex?
  739. [10:20 PM] Eon: dex?
  740. [10:20 PM] Mizuki: (reflex?)
  741. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Dex, yes. Ahem.
  742. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3 dex
  743. [10:21 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 2, Result: 5

  747. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: (PLS)
  748. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you are not Esker
  749. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, the ground beneath you crumbles, as the ice and rock break!
  750. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: (ah, I thought it was everyone)
  751. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You fell for 30 feet, taking 3d6 bludgeoning damage.
  752. [10:21 PM] Eon: "Wha- Woah!"
  753. [10:22 PM] Eon: do I roll or you roll 3d6
  754. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... So did Shadow and Recelle, by the way,
  755. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d6
  756. [10:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d6]: 4,6,4, Result: 14
  757. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But they seem fine compared to Esker, who landed badly.
  758. [10:22 PM] Faerie: Whoa! Razmik isn't close enough to catch her, or he would have ended up taking the fall himself as well.
  759. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah... Sorry!" Recelle says, scanning around.
  760. [10:22 PM] Faerie: ''A, are you alright down there?!''
  761. [10:22 PM] Eon: (bully! :sadpopo: )
  762. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's an underground cavern complex.
  763. [10:22 PM] Eon: "I'm just going to lie down here. Don't mind me."
  764. [10:22 PM] Bot Fodder: John flinches in shock, but hurries over to the hole. "Are you all okay?!"
  765. [10:22 PM] Faerie: (MIZU FUCK YOU OH MY GOD JESUS)
  766. [10:23 PM] Faerie: (I SWEAR TO GOD)
  767. [10:23 PM] Mizuki: Alicia looks down - "Great work Recelle, saved us!"
  768. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle picks Esker up, seemingly apologetic, "Sorry! I am not very good with this whole... Erm..."
  769. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Thing."
  770. [10:23 PM] Eon: You could swear you hear something among the lines of 'MY FUCKING BACK!' and 'FOR FUCKS SAKE RECELLE' but who knows.
  771. [10:23 PM] Bot Fodder: (N-no, I'm pretty sure that was Divine (read: GM) providence :sadpopo: )
  772.  
  773. [10:23 PM] Faerie: Do we, uh, need to take any precautions to go down the hole?
  774. [10:23 PM] Eon: as very loud whispers, of course.
  775. [10:23 PM] Mizuki: (UNDERDARK HAPPENING)
  776. [10:23 PM] Faerie: It's a ways to go...
  777. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It would be nice if you have a rope, Razmik.
  778. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a 40ft drop otherwise.
  779. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, 40, not 30.
  780. [10:24 PM] Faerie: Well, yeah. He does.
  781. [10:24 PM] Mizuki: (explorer's pack has a rope, right?)
  782. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then yeah, it's a matter of dropping down.
  783. [10:24 PM] Faerie: As would any sensible human being in a situation like this.
  784. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm, SCALING down, with rope.
  785.  
  786. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow dusts Esker off a bit, "You fine, fam?"
  787. [10:25 PM] Eon: Esker continues lying on the hard.. rock? ice? She couldn't really be bothered to even look around, this has been a bad day.
  788. [10:25 PM] Faerie: Anything we could tie the rope to?
  789. [10:25 PM] Eon: "I'm dead. Fam."
  790. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow just picks Esker up, carrying her in his two arms, "Well, then."
  791. [10:25 PM] Faerie: If not, Razmik'll offer to stay above as an anchor as other people go down. But then, how would they ever go back up?
  792. [10:25 PM] Bot Fodder: "Still... I thought this was all just ice and snow. Who'd have thought there'd be caves down here?" John slides down first.
  793. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you don't feel well, I'll carry you around for a bit, alright?" Shadow smiles, encouragingly.
  794. [10:26 PM] Mizuki: (:troubledkoga:)
  795. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle looks around, and down the cavern, sniffing...
  796. [10:26 PM] Eon: "Y'know, you're actually stronger than you look. Can you see down here, though?" Esker finally elects to take heed of their surroundings
  797. [10:26 PM] Runic: (Alright, dad dragged me to help with resetting his bank account password for 10 mins, what's happening right now)(edited)
  798. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods, "Up to a point..."
  799. [10:26 PM] Eon: (I broke my back, we found a cave because GM intervention)
  800.  
  801. [10:26 PM] Faerie: ''This is convenient, and all, but how are we going to climb out of there?'', Razmik asks, concerned.
  802. [10:26 PM] Faerie: (Recelle shot the snow and we found a cave underneath)
  803. [10:27 PM] Runic: (Coolio)(edited)
  804. [10:27 PM] Bot Fodder: John tilts his head at the elven sniper. "Are you sure you're not really a dwarf?" he asks with a wry smirk. Did... did the guard just tease Recelle?
  805. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cavern complex stretches on and on, with long curves and formation of tunnels...
  806. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle chuckles. "I may or may not have dwarf blood in me, I suppose? A White Dwarf, even!"
  807. [10:27 PM] Mizuki: Alicia takes out her dagger and stabs it against the ground - "Maybe we could use this to tie up the rope?"
  808. [10:27 PM] Eon: Produce Flame just to produce some light
  809. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Then Recelle looks down, knowing that nobody else would've gotten the joke.
  810. [10:28 PM] Eon: "Here, the least I could do."
  811. [10:28 PM] Mizuki: She wonders if it's firm enough.
  812. [10:28 PM] Mizuki: (finally an use for this dagger!)
  813. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah, wait, don't use a dagger, just have the wyverns hold onto the rope." Recelle shouts.
  814. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The two wyverns whimpers a bit, mentioning that they can /fly/.
  815. [10:29 PM] Eon: :thinking:
  816. [10:29 PM] Runic: "I'm sure I have some climbing gear in one of my packs"
  817. [10:29 PM] Faerie: (I dunno if a dagger can hold up to like 170 pounds)
  818. That's just dandy, as long as it meant nobody else would have the fall.
  819.  
  820. [10:29 PM] Runic: Lexon digs through one of his packs and manges to find a piton from his burglars pack
  821. [10:29 PM] Mizuki: "T-That's... A pretty good idea." - She said sheating up the dagger, a bit embarrassed. - "Jade, Quartz, counting on you."
  822.  
  823. [10:29 PM] Bot Fodder: (Snow is probably already filling in the hole. Couldn't someone just slide in with it?)(edited)
  824. [10:30 PM] Runic: "Here, use this instead" Lexon says, handing over a piton
  825. [10:30 PM] Eon: "You got any idea where we should go from here, f-fam?" Esker stutters the odd lingo, maybe that'll help connect with Shadow better? His chunni ways are a mystery to her.
  826. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The two wyverns cries out happily, clenching onto the rope with their claws (or rather, having the rope tied aroun d their thighs) as the group climb down. Or using a piton. Or whatever.
  827. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's not a huge issue!
  828. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow grins, "I have no foggiest idea!"
  829. [10:30 PM] Faerie: ''Good going, Lexon. We can get out easily enough with those, and then it's just a matter of throwing rope down again!''
  830. But ah, the group'd need it later, you realize. For now, it seemed like down the cave they went.
  831. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot pops his head out from within Shadow's shirt, looking down as Esker... And smirks devilishly. "... He's totally plan on throwing you, just you wait."
  832. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I wouldn't do that!" Shadow complains.
  833. [10:31 PM] Eon: "I would like to see him even attempt that." Esker smirks.
  834. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, yes, of course you only throw ME around." Tot grumbles, hopping out and landing on Esker's hair instead, "It's warm down here, compared to above."
  835.  
  836. [10:32 PM] Bot Fodder: "Yeah, I don't think he has the upper body strength," comments John. The sound of wind entering the cave resembles that of an object sailing just overhead...
  837. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Getting the 40ft drop into the hole isn't an issue between the number of tools and the wyverns - they can lift and fly people up and down, even, though with more effort.
  838. [10:33 PM] Eon: "Well, you're small, that's probably why." Esker murmurs. She was probably getting too comfortable lying down for her own good. She should probably ge-
  839. [10:33 PM] Faerie: ''Why is there a cave in...''
  840. You can make out Razmik asking questions to the air, running a hand through his now wet hair. It's nothing terribly important, so you can selectively ignore him.
  841. [10:33 PM] Eon: "my fucking back" she whispers.
  842. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The rock wall seems to radiate a degree of warmth, even, for some reason, and there are strange trace of... something.
  843. [10:34 PM] Bot Fodder: John, who does possess some degree of upper body strength, lifts Esker and sets her on her feet.
  844. [10:34 PM] Eon: do the walls look like anything special? Esker holds out her Produce Flame closer to the wall
  845. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel stretches on for as far as you can see, at an angle down, around the area, snaking and joined by other tunnels.
  846. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
  847. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nature, Esker.
  848. [10:35 PM] Eon: again? :sadpopo:
  849. [10:35 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+4 nature
  850. [10:35 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 11, Result: 15
  851. [10:35 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+4 dis from fucking exhaustion
  852. [10:35 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 15, Result: 19
  853. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, yeah, ok.
  854. [10:35 PM] Mizuki: Alicia lights up her amulet.
  855. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are chewing marks and melting marks in the stone.
  856. [10:35 PM] Eon: (I'm betting on gibbering goobers.)
  857. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Between that and the terrain condition, you deduct the tunnels are created - recently - by what's called a remorhaz.
  858. [10:36 PM] Eon: (oh fuck.)
  859. [10:36 PM] Faerie: ''Should we be going down the tunnel, at any rate?'' Razmik points out how they were trying to seek shelter, not that long ago.
  860. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Remorhaz are giant millipede like creatures that radiate body heat, and eats elks and polar bears for breakfast.
  861. [10:36 PM] Eon: "Erm. Err. Danger. Danger." Esker wails, similar to an automaton
  862. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are able to tunnel through the ice and some stone.
  863. [10:36 PM] Faerie: Oh, yeah, are the other tunnel entrances anything noteworthy? In size, maybe?
  864. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sup?)
  865.  
  866. [10:37 PM] Bot Fodder: (ayy lmao)
  867. [10:37 PM] Faerie: (Oh god, that's horrifying.)
  868. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Some tunnels are notably larger and more comfortable - even as wide as 20ft or so.
  869. [10:37 PM] Eon: Ignoring her fucking back for good, she shifts uneasily. Remorhazs aren't anything to be trifled with
  870. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Some other ones are similar to the ones that you are in - walkable, and large creature might need a squeeze.
  871. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Oh, right - Remorhaz can swallow a human whole, easily.
  872. [10:38 PM] Faerie: Unable to resist, Razmik admits. ''That's a really cool name, though.''
  873. [10:38 PM] Eon: Esker will of course explain what she knows of the tunnels and of remorhazs
  874.  
  875. [10:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John crouches by the markings on the tunnel, sweeping a finger across the surface. It seems smooth enough to have been exposed to heat or acid... "This doesn't look good."
  876. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blinks. "That explains the walls. So, uh, if the tunnels are recent,"
  877. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh... Should we be worried?"
  878. [10:38 PM] Eon: "Yeah. Danger."
  879. [10:39 PM] Faerie: ''We definitely want to stay out of the big ones, then?''
  880. [10:39 PM] Faerie: ...or the other ones as well, since you never know. Razmik thought.
  881. [10:39 PM] Eon: "It should be the small ones right? the rest could be natural."
  882. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If nothing else, we should find somewhere less cramped - a bigger tunnel might be safer." Recelle adds. "I can't shoot at anything if anything attacks us."
  883. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Recelle, please, you are so trigger happy!" Shadow chuckles. "Aliciaitis?"
  884. [10:40 PM] Mizuki: "The bigger the tunnel, the bigger the beast, right?" - Asked Alicia worried.
  885. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle looks at Shadow, wryly... Shadow whimpers and shrinks back a little. "Sorry." Shadow mumbles.
  886. [10:41 PM] Eon: Esker gives Recelle the poutiest look she can muster, very subtly rubbing her back.
  887.  
  888. [10:41 PM] Faerie: (Just so we're sure, we all stopped moving, right)
  889. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (For the time being.)
  890. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( it's how the tremorsense isn't detecting the party and murdering you all )
  891.  
  892. [10:42 PM] Faerie: (Wow FUCK. I had something similar in mind)
  893. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle peers at Esker for a moment, before patting her on the... Tot.
  894. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hisses a bit.
  895. [10:42 PM] Bot Fodder: John nods. "Honestly, I'm less afraid of monsters than I am of that 'Wind' thing. It'll die if we hit it enough, right?"(edited)
  896. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh, well, Mielikki didn't any anything about that, per se, but let's say we know how to deal with monsters?" Shadow suggests.
  897. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, that's the spirit, fam." Shadow nods.
  898. [10:43 PM] Faerie: ''Do we have any ways of knowing if there's anything nearby?'', Razmik asks the evident, fumbling about for something to throw.
  899. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Locate creature)
  900. [10:43 PM] Eon: "Well, I guess." Esker didn't really feel like making proactive desicions at this point..
  901. [10:44 PM] Faerie: If there's any suitably heavy rocks, he'll hurl one at one of the farthest stone walls.
  902. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The wyverns, of course, returned the rope, before sniffling at the tunnels curiously.
  903. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a clunk, Razmik.
  904. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, we can uh... See where the tunnels lead?" Recelle suggests.
  905. [10:45 PM] Faerie: Razmik observes. That didn't really tell him much, though.
  906. [10:45 PM] Faerie: ''Are you three in good shape, though? That sure was a fall you took.''
  907. [10:46 PM] Eon: "MY FUCKING BACK I'm fine." Esker mutters.
  908. [10:46 PM] Mizuki: "I guess we can at least fight those monsters, unlike the wind out there." - She said - "We better move, and look for a safer spot."
  909. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am uh..." Shadow pauses, "I am mostly alright."
  910. [10:46 PM] Eon: Was Tot still on her hair, still? She'll like to pat it if it is
  911. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle apologizes to Esker once again.
  912. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hisses and retreats from the pat.
  913. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot's like an unruly cat from the next door that somehow managed to not claw and bite your eyeballs out, but probably would've given a chance.
  914. [10:47 PM] Bot Fodder: (How old is Esker?~)
  915. [10:47 PM] Eon: "Hmmph. Rude. Shadow should throw you around more often." Esker puffs.
  916. [10:48 PM] Faerie: The party's current place doesn't look suitable to rest, then?
  917. [10:48 PM] Eon: (256)
  918.  
  919. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well... You probably could rest here.
  920. [10:48 PM] Faerie: Because Razmik'll point to Alicia, how infinitely safer than the cold above this was.
  921. [10:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (Grandma!)
  922. [10:48 PM] Eon: (she's an elf! she's young ;-;)
  923. [10:48 PM] Runic: (kek)
  924. [10:49 PM] Mizuki: (You shouldn't ask a girl about her age!)(edited)
  925. [10:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's not my fault Elves mature at a stoner's pace~ A granny is a granny. :wink: )
  926. [10:50 PM] Eon: "Could we just take a really long rest? I kind of want to forget about today.." Esker recalls the attempt at hiding from the giants, the 'reinforcment' of the plant growth, among.. other things.
  927. [10:51 PM] Faerie: ''Spend the night here? That'd take too long, probably...'', Razmik pauses, thinking about it for a second. ''We are pretty worn out already, though.''
  928. [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: "It would be hard to rest while something's lurking down here," John says. "Have any spells that could help?"(edited)
  929. [10:52 PM] Mizuki: "I think we should do some exploration down here. We can rest later. - Suggested Alicia - "Who knows, those tunnels could lead somewhere else, maybe a safer place!"
  930. [10:52 PM] Faerie: If it came down to fighting, they'd probably be alright. But maybe they could retreat back to the entrance? ''What if we go back a bit?''
  931. [10:53 PM] Faerie: Razmik was tired, but nothing too bad besides that.
  932. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well..." Shadow frowns. "We can rest, yeah, I am sure Esker would prefer that." He says, still carrying Esker. "But Alicia's words hold merit - clearing out a tunnel might be safe."
  933. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hmm.
  934. [10:53 PM] Mizuki: (underdark™)
  935. [10:54 PM] Runic: "I agree, we should at least try to clear out this place first"
  936. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Going back on the tunnel, beside for the hole that you've made, you'll exit in middle of your halluinatory terrain or so - that there's a hole in the ground, seemingly created not TOO long ago, as a creature (Remorhaz, most likely) dug through.
  937. [10:54 PM] Faerie: ''I don't know about you, but if you're able to explore and keep an eye out for danger whilst being unable to feel your own legs...''
  938. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So, it seems to be a tunnel that the creature dug out to ... Escape the surface?
  939. [10:54 PM] Eon: "Well. I could get up. But this is kind of comfortable." Esker admitts
  940. [10:55 PM] Bot Fodder: "If we don't explore, we might end up fighting that way, and that's no good," John says to Razmik seriously.
  941. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods, musing.
  942. [10:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik's head was starting to bother him a bit. He didn't see what was wrong with the entrance, ostensibly a more open area.
  943.  
  944. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The surface is also around -10 degree celcius or so.
  945. [10:56 PM] Faerie: (Well, exhaustion offers no combat penalties at our current level...)
  946. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnels are around 5 - 10: Still bad, but not freezing.
  947. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It should get warmer the deeper you go, of course.
  948. [10:56 PM] Faerie: (Even after the 30 feet fall? Fuck, that's terrible)
  949. [10:57 PM] Mizuki: "Come on Esker, you've been through worse, lets take a look around, and then you can rest all you want"
  950. [10:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (We have a secret weapon for fighting in close, narrow quarters!)
  951. [10:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (And that would be John's Sentinel. :smugpopo: )(edited)
  952. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Tunnel Fighter? :rainbowpopo: )
  953. [10:57 PM] Eon: "Alright, alright, geez." Maybe she was getting too lazy after all.
  954. [10:57 PM] Faerie: (T u n n e l F i g h t e r)
  955.  
  956. [10:57 PM] Eon: Esker rights herself and hops off Shadow's arms, giving him an appreciative nod
  957. [10:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia tosses a potion to Esker
  958. [10:58 PM] Faerie: (Look into patching yourself up, if you need it)
  959. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4

  964. [10:58 PM] Eon: (I have the heal stick still ;-;)
  965. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... What was that? there's something in the shadow of the tunnel.
  966. [10:58 PM] Faerie: (I mean that, yeah)
  967. [10:58 PM] Eon: speaking of which..
  968. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle frowns, giving the creature a quick volley.
  969. [10:58 PM] Mizuki: (pls register the potion!)
  970. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: rol 1d20+9

  978. [10:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d10+12]: 6,3, Result: 21
  979. [10:59 PM] Mizuki: (reminder that I casted light)
  980. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a squishy noise, the creature crumbles. "... What the hell?" Recelle voices.
  981. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle retreats the "corpse" she shot down...
  982. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A brain-like creature, leaking grey ooze, with four legs, and a broken membrane.
  983. [11:00 PM] Eon: (fuck.)
  984. [11:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (METROIDS)
  985. [11:00 PM] Eon: (intellector nomers)
  986. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The four legs are clawed, and the creature seem unresponsive, as the bullets ripped it to twain.
  987. [11:00 PM] Runic: "Gross, the heck is that thing"
  988. [11:01 PM] Faerie: (Holy shit, it's a metroid)
  989. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle throws it down on the ground, wiping her hand on the rock.
  990. [11:01 PM] Mizuki: "Is that a Remorhaz?" - Asked Alicia curious.
  991. [11:01 PM] Eon: (roll to identify, right?)
  992. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't know - I spotted it sneaking on us."
  993. [11:01 PM] Faerie: ''Okay, this isn't an animal'', Razmik deduces. Genius.
  994. [11:01 PM] Eon: "Nope. remorhazes are.. bigger."
  995. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll me an Arcane
  996. [11:01 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+1 arcana

  1004. [11:01 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 14, Result: 21

  1006. [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1007.  
  1008. [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia. Your spine runs down with a chill suddenly.
  1009. [11:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (Illithids. Ffffuck.)
  1010. [11:02 PM] Eon: (mind flayer episode!)
  1011. [11:02 PM] Mizuki: "No wait, I know what that is..." - Said Alicia surprised.
  1012. [11:02 PM] Mizuki: (HAPPENING)
  1013.  
  1014. [11:03 PM] Faerie: (Mizu, I hope you realize this is your fault)
  1015. NEW MESSAGES
  1016. [11:03 PM] Faerie: (You don't fuck with Illithids. They fuck your brain and deposit their babbies inside your skull)(edited)
  1017. [11:03 PM] Bot Fodder: (Technically, it's Recelle's fault. :thinking: )(edited)
  1018. [11:04 PM] Mizuki: She explains the rest of the party what the thing was. - "I guess we're in the underdark..."
  1019.  
  1020. [11:04 PM] Faerie: (''what the fuck is the underdark lmao'')
  1021. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What's an under dark?" Recelle asks.
  1022. [11:04 PM] Bot Fodder: "What's the underdark?" John asks innocently.
  1023. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow pauses for a moment.
  1024. [11:04 PM] Bot Fodder: ( K E K )
  1025. [11:04 PM] Faerie: ''Not so dark in here, it's not...'', Razmik replies.
  1026. [11:05 PM] Bot Fodder: (Razmik pls, only outsiders should be this ignorant. :sadpopo: )
  1027. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It is my time to shine." Shadow declares. "The underdark is a legendary tunnel complex beneath the world, where a hero that I admire came from."
  1028. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... That's all I know." Shadow pauses.
  1029. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Also, there's like, drows and stuff."
  1030. [11:05 PM] Faerie: ((OH MY FUCKING GOD))
  1031. [11:05 PM] Faerie: (NO.)
  1032. [11:05 PM] Faerie: (Shadow stay go)
  1033. [11:05 PM] Eon: (LUL)
  1034. [11:06 PM] Mizuki: "It also has terrifying monsters." - added Alicia
  1035. [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Like drows." Shadow says.
  1036.  
  1037. [11:06 PM] Eon: Drow. Esker eyes narrow.
  1038. [11:06 PM] Mizuki: "This one for example, can consume a person's memory and mind. I had enough of that, thank you very much." - She complained.
  1039. [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm. I guess technically, you aren't WRONG." Recelle pauses.
  1040. [11:07 PM] Bot Fodder: "Sounds like a dungeon," John says with a shrug. His world has some big ones, but most of those were far away from his hometown...
  1041. [11:07 PM] Faerie: Razmik suddenly realizes what that could probably mean.''...Wait, Alicia, you're from Faerûn?''
  1042. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What's a Faerun?" Recelle asks. (Damn aliens.)
  1043. [11:08 PM] Bot Fodder: "Fae's Run?" That, too, sounds like a dungeon to John.
  1044. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods, "Oh, you mean like from the comic books?"
  1045. [11:08 PM] Eon: (kap pls)
  1046. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Recelle stares at Shadow.
  1047. [11:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (Dreamland pls.)
  1048. [11:08 PM] Eon: (shadowrun :thinking: )
  1049. [11:08 PM] Faerie: ''No, what? No, no joke books. It's like-''
  1050. [11:08 PM] Mizuki: Alicia smiled to Raz - "Yeah."
  1051. [11:09 PM] Mizuki: (I don't know anything about Faerun pls no hard questions!)
  1052. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura muses for a moment, nuzzling closer to Alicia.
  1053. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Hey, this isn't really a place to talk comic books, fam." Shadow interjects.
  1054. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, I would be totally up to talking about my heroes with ya'll and stuff..."
  1055. [11:09 PM] Faerie: ''It's just the land of the realm, right? I'm not that good at geography, but they say it's the biggest continent in all of Toril.'', Razmik adds.
  1056. [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (tfw Shadow's a chuuni because he read too about Drizzt as a kid)
  1057.  
  1058. [11:10 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Implying he didn't think Artemis was cooler)
  1059. [11:10 PM] Faerie: ''I'm sure Alicia can explain better. It's, uh, the land we inhabit?''
  1060. [11:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (nothin personnel... kid......)
  1061. [11:11 PM] Faerie: ''A-anyways, that's neither here or now.''
  1062. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Artemis is literal sex symbol for Shadow)
  1063.  
  1064. [11:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (T-TMI :sadpopo: )
  1065. [11:11 PM] Faerie: Razmik urges the rest to get a move on, as surely there's already several book trilogies set in the exciting and fantastical worlds of Abeir-Toril™
  1066. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well..." Recelle frowns.
  1067. [11:11 PM] Eon: "Where now?" Esker muses.
  1068. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah. Who's leading?"
  1069. [11:12 PM] Bot Fodder: (Though I guess Racer-X isn't much without Speed Racer to foil him, so it makes sense...)
  1070. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel stretches forward-down, where the intellect devourer came from.
  1071. [11:13 PM] Mizuki: (brb 1 min)
  1072. [11:13 PM] Eon: Esker will hurl the Produce Flame down, in an attempt to shed some light on the problem
  1073. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The flame flies down the tunnel...
  1074. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1075. [11:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 8, Result: 8
  1076. [11:13 PM] Runic: (Did you just take Fae's joke that he made earlier?)(edited)
  1077. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... There's a loud, chittering shriek.
  1078. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The voice resonates around the tunnel a bit...
  1079. [11:14 PM] Eon: (no, it's a cunning joke.)
  1080. [11:14 PM] Bot Fodder: John readies his spear. He didn't like the sound of that one bit.
  1081. [11:14 PM] Faerie: ''What else is there to know about those critters, then? ...Alicia said they can eat brains.''
  1082. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel rumbles a bit, as something large starts charging down the tunnel. SomethingS.
  1083. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have 1 combat round to prepare and position! The tunnel's wide enough for two person to stand side-by-side.
  1084. [11:14 PM] Bot Fodder: That's why John always wears his helmet! Exactly for times like this!
  1085. [11:15 PM] Eon: "Err. Godammit." Why did these kind of things keep happing? Esker dodges behind the the tankier folks
  1086. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow places Esker down. :sadpopo:
  1087. [11:15 PM] Bot Fodder: John takes the vanguard, naturally.
  1088. [11:15 PM] Eon: (I already got off him, like twice!)
  1089. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And stands in front of Esker, protectively, "Hey, it's time for heroes to shine! I love underdark series!"
  1090. [11:15 PM] Faerie: Razmik opts to lower himself a bit, shield planted in front of him and John, Salamander at the ready.
  1091. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1092. [11:15 PM] Eon: (unless he... picked me up again?)
  1093.  
  1094. [11:15 PM] Runic: Lexon takes a position up front, while hoping it's nothing scary
  1095.  
  1096. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle positions behind the entire group... Beside Shadow, however.
  1097. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The wyverns seem confused as to where to be.
  1098. [11:16 PM] Eon: Esker blinked. It was all she could do to not laugh at Shadow's chunni
  1099. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel isn't wide enough for them to fly down.
  1100.  
  1101. [11:16 PM] Eon: Ready a, err.
  1102. [11:17 PM] Mizuki: (ESKER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?)
  1103. [11:17 PM] Eon: fuck I can't even hit this thing
  1104. [11:17 PM] Eon: (;-;)
  1105. [11:17 PM] Eon: (it was down the tunnel anyway!)
  1106. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wyverns - Esker - Shadow, Recelle - ??? - Lexon
  1107. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: WIth Lexon in the "front"
  1108. [11:17 PM] Mizuki: Alicia readies a fireball

  1121. [11:19 PM] Mizuki: (once I cast a spell, I'll also fireball)
  1122. [11:19 PM] Mizuki: (conflux memes)
  1123. [11:19 PM] Bot Fodder: John is always ready! Once he's on guard, anyway. (Polearm Master lets him attack with a Reaction anyway, so readying an action is not needed.)
  1124. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wyverns - Esker - Shadow, Recelle - John, Razmik - Lexon
  1125. Correct?
  1126. [11:19 PM] Eon: (but readies fade at sot ;-;)
  1127. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I guess Alicia with Esker
  1128. [11:19 PM] Mizuki: (yeah)
  1129.

  1131. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Initiative, and Alicia has 11 on that...
  1132. [11:20 PM] Faerie: Why is Lexon in front of John and Razmik? ...he hurriedly gets in front of him.
  1133. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, then.

  1151. [11:21 PM] Faerie: He'll begin focusing on a smite spell, as well. It's Wrathful Smite, ready to whiff for the third time in the day!
  1152. [11:21 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, barring fancy bonuses, it's just d20+DEX)

  1163. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to be a tick... But the size of an ogre.
  1164. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Armored in chitin, with large mantible, and insectile eyes.
  1165. [11:23 PM] Eon: (>first of)
  1166. [11:23 PM] Runic: Lexon freezes up, and quickly shakes off the uncomfort
  1167. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the large claws and rusty coloration betrays its eyes, a deep, swirling pattern...
  1168. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Like that of a insect.
  1169. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It roars.
  1170. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's an Umber Hulk!" Shadow declares.
  1171. [11:24 PM] Runic: "I'm not touching that"
  1172. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I have no idea what it does!" Shadow follows.
  1173. [11:24 PM] Eon: "How is that even possible?" Bemused.
  1174. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... It appeared in the 3rd volumn of..." Shadow goes on making comic book references.
  1175.

  1184. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: "You know quite a lot, Shadow!"
  1185. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's punctured, but otherwise unfazed.
  1186. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hulky insect charges... And John, your arm raise against the creature by reflex.
  1187. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Do you take your oppotunity attack?
  1188. [11:26 PM] Bot Fodder: (yes.)

  1203. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The creature shrieks angrily.
  1204. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... If any of you speak Umber Hulk, let me know.
  1205.  
  1206. [11:28 PM] Faerie: (Wait, that's it's ACTUAL name?)
  1207. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes.)
  1208. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And it has an unique language.)
  1209. [11:28 PM] Bot Fodder: John braces his pike and holds his ground like a stone wall. The spear doesn't give an inch, barring further motion unless the creature wants to skewer itself deeper.
  1210. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The creature stopped pitifully, 10ft away from you, struggling against your weapon.
  1211. [11:28 PM] Bot Fodder: (Phalanxes OP)
  1212. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It gazes deep at you...
  1213. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your turn.
  1214. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are... within 30ft of the Umber Hulk now.
  1215. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So,
  1216. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: DC 15 Charisma Save, first thing first!
  1217. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (Only Alicia?)
  1218. [11:29 PM] Eon: (sot)
  1219. [11:29 PM] Eon: (can't you avert your gaze and all that?)

  1227. [11:30 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 11, Result: 10
  1228. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can declare to avoid the gaze at the start of your turn, making you effectively blind against the creature.)
  1229. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (At the /start/, so you are ok for now)
  1230. [11:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, k.)
  1231. [11:31 PM] Mizuki: (I don't understand)
  1232. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, roll 1d8.

  1237.  
  1238. [11:31 PM] Eon: (you're just duuuuuuuhing)
  1239. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your mind blanks for a second, gazing and falling... falling into the umber hulk's eyes.
  1240. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Your readied fireball spell fizzles.
  1241. [11:31 PM] Mizuki: (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
  1242. [11:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (Someone needs to shout to look away, though... John wouldn't know to do it.)
  1243. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, your turn.
  1244. [11:32 PM] Mizuki: (m-my spell slot...)
  1245. [11:32 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's okay to rely on cantrips more :sadpopo: )
  1246. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (My sensei told me to hit them where it hurts.)
  1247. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No sensei, no mercy.)
  1248. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, you have no knowledge of the Confusing Gaze - nobody in the party has made a successful save against it yet.
  1249. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So... make a DC 15 Charisma save first.
  1250. [11:33 PM] Runic: Lexon turns to the side and slips between Razmik and John and moves back, trying to gain a bit of distance from the insect
  1251. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, during the prep, Razmik and John moved forward from where you are.)
  1252. [11:34 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+1 save
  1253. [11:34 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 17, Result: 18
  1254. [11:34 PM] Faerie: Everyone nearby feels a slight lift in spirit - like a puppet being held up by a bunch of strings. Aura of Protection.
  1255. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, you were attracted by those swirling eyes for a moment, before snapping out of it a split second after.
  1256. [11:34 PM] Faerie: (Everyone within 10 feet, that is)
  1257. [11:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Current formation:
  1258. Wyverns - Alicia, Esker - Shadow, Recelle - Lexon - John, Razmik - HULK
  1259. [11:35 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly grabs a dart that he has holstered and flicks it at the bug, hoping to hit one of it's eyes
  1260. [11:35 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+6 hit(edited)
  1261. [11:35 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 10, Result: 16
  1262. [11:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (Koga, if John attacks with disadvantage and rolls Precision Attack, does the Superiority bonus apply to both rolls?)
  1263. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a 10ft distance between Umber Hulk and the frontline, due to Sentinel.
  1264. [11:36 PM] Faerie: (BROTHER!)
  1265. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Applies to the roll that applies, aka the lower roll.)
  1266. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So "both" in that sense)
  1267. [11:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (And is that die rolled with disadvantage, too?)
  1268. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (nah.)
  1269. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (it's a straight 1d8 in addition)
  1270. [11:36 PM] Bot Fodder: ('kay.)
  1271. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uhh.
  1272. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 16?
  1273. [11:36 PM] Faerie: (Wait, John's not behind Razmik? Fuck, that's dumb, I should have specified.)
  1274. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The umber hulk STARES down at the dart, chittering angrily, and isn't wounded at all as it blinked away the strike!
  1275. [11:37 PM] Bot Fodder: (No, but Raz can just take a step forward if he wants. If he were ahead of John, the Umber Hulk could still attack him in spite of being stopped.)
  1276.  
  1277. [11:37 PM] Runic: Lexon attempts to hide by using his two party members in front of him as cover
  1278. [11:38 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+9 hide

  1283. [11:38 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, but readied actions. Also, 21 AC)
  1284. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nobody has said anything about the confusion gaze,
  1285. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: so go ahead, look into my evil eye.
  1286. [11:38 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+2 including buff

  1293. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... and time seem to stop.
  1294. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are unable to do anything this turn.

  1303. [11:40 PM] Eon: I guess I made it, barely
  1304. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You fall into the umber hulk's mesmerizing eyes for a second... But you snap awake!
  1305. [11:40 PM] Eon: Esker blinks. What was.. that?
  1306.  
  1307. [11:41 PM] Eon: She looks around and realises most of her friends dazed.
  1308. [11:41 PM] Eon: "I guess we should avert their gaze :thinking: "
  1309. [11:41 PM] Eon: Anyways, she'll toss Produce Flame at the umber hulk

  1317. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, then!
  1318. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do, Razmik, at start of your turn?
  1319.  
  1320. [11:43 PM] Faerie: Razmik jumps straight at it, in front of John! How can he be of any use if he can't see the thing he's supposed to stop, silly?
  1321. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Start of turn, Confusion Gaze effect!
  1322. [11:43 PM] Faerie: But that's not all, no, he's drawn to its eyes all the same!
  1323. [11:43 PM] Mizuki: (rip)
  1324. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: DC 15 Charisma, Paladin!

  1329. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Paladins, everybody.)
  1330. [11:44 PM] Faerie: Razmik stares also into the abyss it. (No reaction on its part?)
  1331. [11:44 PM] Eon: "Err. Raz?" Esker was bemused, were paladins all that convicted and stalwart?
  1332. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It really doesn't have much reaction to you.
  1333.  
  1334. [11:45 PM] Faerie: Then he'll let out a series of shrieks, unintilligible and not fit to be replied in text form. Razmik screams at the top of his lungs, as he lunges into the Hulk
  1335. [11:45 PM] Faerie: (I can't get over that fucking name. Umber Hulk)
  1336. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (kek)

  1347. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your followup strike slices at it!
  1348. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It hits!
  1349. [11:47 PM] Eon: Ah hah! Esker solved it. Raz was unaffected because he was cockeyed!
  1350.  
  1351. [11:47 PM] Eon: She nods to herself, pleased at her deduction
  1352. [11:47 PM] Faerie: Razmik's quite used to it, and as he'll assure you, this is all part of his top of the line combat maneuvering.
  1353. [11:47 PM] Faerie: Salamander finds its mark! Or maybe it was the other way around.
  1354. [11:47 PM] Faerie: WIS save, DC 14

  1363. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It howls, too angry for your shenanigans!
  1364.  
  1365. [11:49 PM] Faerie: With a snap, Razmik's shield begins pulsating, exhuding a radiance that seems to envelop Razmik, if briefly. [Shield of Faith, pass]
  1366. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow closes his eyes, concentrating... On charging ahead, opening his eyes only when he's within range to strike. [Move forward past the party next to Razmik to get the aura effect.]

  1377. [11:50 PM] Mizuki: (damn son)
  1378. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The broken artifact, Godsbane, buries itself between the creature's skull.
  1379. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The umber hulk sways... And falls on the ground.
  1380. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Combat's over. :firepopo:
  1381. [11:50 PM] Eon: wot.
  1382. [11:51 PM] Eon: wait why is shadow's sneak attack a fucking fireball
  1383. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Just like in the comics." Shadow says coolly, retrieving his blade. "I've slain something worthless, once again."
  1384. [11:51 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shakes her head, the fireball gone from her hands.
  1385. [11:51 PM] Faerie: ''...What was that?''
  1386. [11:51 PM] Runic: (nice, Shadow should close his eyes more before stabbing something more)
  1387. [11:51 PM] Mizuki: She sheates her blade disappointed.
  1388. [11:51 PM] Runic: "Is it dead?"
  1389. [11:51 PM] Faerie: (Is it?)
  1390. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The umber hulk makes no reply.
  1391. [11:51 PM] Faerie: Razmik stows away his weapon, before poking at the creature with his foot.
  1392. [11:52 PM] Runic: Lexon takes a closer look, "yeah its dead"
  1393. [11:52 PM] Faerie: His focus, however, remains decidedly on the spell. He muses.
  1394. [11:52 PM] Faerie: ''...Do we go further?''
  1395. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: critical hit on sneak attack is.. Yeah
  1396.  
  1397. [11:52 PM] Mizuki: "I didn't even see what happened..." - She complained
  1398. [11:52 PM] Eon: "Hmm. I wonder if we can make use of its shell somehow. You think those eyes work after it dies?"
  1399. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Shadow looks at Alicia. "Uh... You didn't see me being cool?" :sadpopo:
  1400. [11:53 PM] Runic: "So... Keep exploring? So far it seems like everything here is nothing but creepy crawlies and the sort"(edited)
  1401. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow seems disappointed. A lot.
  1402. [11:53 PM] Eon: "I just saw the lot of you drooling and Shadow doing.. something? I wasn't watching."
  1403.  
  1404. [11:53 PM] Bot Fodder: John shakes his head, knocking his helm with his palm a couple times. "Well... uh, good work! Wish I'd seen it."(edited)
  1405. [11:53 PM] Eon: "Err, I mean, I was averting the Amber's Hulk gaze!"
  1406. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle blinks, "... I didn't caught anything either."
  1407. [11:53 PM] Faerie: ''Well, it was a very clean kill. That's about it!'', Razmik notes.
  1408. [11:54 PM] Mizuki: "Uh, sorry... I couldn't do or see anything when it came closer."(edited)
  1409. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow seems very, very disappointed, "T-thanks, fam..." He says, weakly, to Razmik.
  1410.  
  1411. [11:54 PM] Bot Fodder: (Shadow's crushing on Alicia, huh... :thinking: )
  1412. [11:54 PM] Faerie: Nothing about half-damnation half-salvation blows from Shadow's dark heritage, or anything of the sort. ''He didn't even say anything weird!''
  1413. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I, I quoted from the comic..." Shadow says, weakly, seemingly being dealt another blow.
  1414. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shakes her head, chuckling. "Well... Let's keep on going."
  1415. [11:55 PM] Eon: "Something something slain something something worthless?"
  1416. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ignoring Shadow, Recelle steps past the dead umber hulk... "Unless, uh, any of you want to autopsy the creatures or something."
  1417. [11:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik wonders aloud. ''In all seriousness, though, I thought Orcusbane broke. How'd you do it?''
  1418. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Shadow lifts his blade. It's just the blade part, with the hilt being a piece of wood stuck to the end to make ends meet.
  1419. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I erm... Don't know. It's just a dagger now."
  1420. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Down the tunnel... The tunnel quickly leads down to an open cavern.
  1421. [11:57 PM] Faerie: ''...Huh. Style points to you then, in that case.'' Odd, just when nobody was looking...
  1422. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cavern is wide, and teeming with life.
  1423. [11:58 PM] Eon: w-what kind of life
  1424. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Life, as in small, short critters.
  1425. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are a few humanoid-looking creatures, about 2 feet tall, huddling together, shireking away from you.
  1426. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They seem to be wearing hats that resemble mushroom caps...
  1427. [11:58 PM] Eon: Do I recognise-
  1428. [11:58 PM] Eon: (myconids!)
  1429. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: (CUTE)
  1430. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or rather, they seem to be walking mushrooms.
  1431. [11:59 PM] Eon: (Do I have to roll to know what they are or is Esker top druid)
  1432. [11:59 PM] Bot Fodder: John thinks they have funny hats.
  1433. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh. They should be recognizable for you.
  1434. [11:59 PM] Faerie: (Eon, please don't spoil the surprise!)
  1435. May 21, 2017
  1436. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of them breath down on the group, a cloud of spore.
  1437.  
  1438. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's about... 20 of them, most of them small. There's only one "adult", standing... 3 feet tall, just a bit taller than the rest.
  1439. [12:00 AM] Eon: "Hey. Is this thing on?"
  1440. [12:01 AM] Eon: It's kind of weird, talking telepathically.
  1441. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The critter whimpers at the group, seemingly in distress. "Please don't hurt us!"
  1442. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Upon a closer inspection, there are a lot of bite marks, and dead myconids scattered around.
  1443. [12:01 AM] Faerie: ''I swear to dear Heavens, I saw what Alicia was trying to do. If she tries frying us all on instinct ever again...'', you think you can hear inside your head. Somehow.
  1444. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that the umber hulk was dining on the colony of myconids before the party arrived.
  1445. [12:02 AM] Faerie: What.
  1446. No, uh, I mean- ''What.''
  1447. [12:02 AM] Eon: "Ah. Don't worry, we come in peace."
  1448. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Mew?" You hear a strange voice.
  1449. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It's Jade, seemingly confused.
  1450. [12:02 AM] Eon: "We murdered the amber hulk."
  1451. [12:02 AM] Faerie: ''Okay, I have no clue what's happening'', Razmik says to whoever's closest to him. With his mouth
  1452. [12:03 AM] Bot Fodder: "It was justified self-defense," quickly declares another, noticibly quieter voice.
  1453. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... This is rather conveient." Azura declares, "Well, well met, and thanks for taking care of my Master." Alicia says to the group while she has the chance. "This is the first time we had the opportunity to talk, hm?"
  1454. [12:03 AM] Mizuki: Alicia coughs - "What's that supposed to mean, Raz? I wouldn't fry anyone!"
  1455. [12:03 AM] Eon: "They're myconids, Raz, usually docile and friendly creatures."
  1456. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconids seem confused.
  1457. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The... Uh... Thing's dead?"
  1458. [12:03 AM] Eon: Esker perks up, So this is what Azura sounded like?
  1459. [12:03 AM] Faerie: ''That's not murder, yes'', Razmik is quick to support John. Murder was such an ugly word, anyway
  1460. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few of them start crying, sending clouds of spore everywhere.
  1461. [12:04 AM] Runic: "So that's what Azura sounds like"
  1462. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, uh..." The adult myconid shuffles around, "Thank you." It says.
  1463. [12:04 AM] Faerie: (''Whoa, Alicia's mind voice sounds different!'')
  1464. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura smirks, "Well, there are more important matters at hand, in any case... Please support my Master as you have been, friends." And the cat turns her attention back to the situation at hand.
  1465. [12:05 AM] Faerie: ''Azura? Oh, hello. You sound rather well grounded, for occassionally being a bird...''
  1466.  
  1467. [12:06 AM] Eon: "What happened here, anyway? And err, do you have a name, perchance?"
  1468. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, yes, cats don't fly well." Azura muses, glancing at Tot with a knowing gaze.
  1469. [12:06 AM] Eon: It was kind of rude to not refer to the myconids by name, after all!
  1470. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconids look at each other.
  1471. [12:07 AM] Bot Fodder: "Talking cat!" exclaims an confused but otherwise unnotable voice in the crowd.(edited)
  1472. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... We are the Moxcaps." The adult instead says. "Uh... Individual name... No..."
  1473.  
  1474. [12:07 AM] Faerie: 'My legs hur- Wait, can you make this stop working?''
  1475. [12:08 AM] Mizuki: Azura telling the others to take care of her was pretty embarrassing, thought Alicia trying her best to hide that from the party.(edited)
  1476. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The adult myconid calms down the crying kids, reducing them down to a sniffle.
  1477. [12:08 AM] Faerie: Razmik didn't really want people listening to that inane stuff.
  1478. [12:08 AM] Faerie: ''That's what I mean, Alicia. It's kind of hard to ignore all these voices!''
  1479. [12:09 AM] Faerie: (Yo, are plants creatures?)
  1480. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "A bit of mental training - You should be able to control it, Razmik, your will is strong. So are all of you present." Azura licks her paw.
  1481. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uh)
  1482. [12:09 AM] Eon: "Alright then, Moxcaps, maybe you can help us? What do you know about the Wight Wind?" Esker was unsure they would know much, living underground and all, but it was worth a shot!
  1483. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They are "creature", enough)
  1484. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: (>PLANTS)
  1485. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: (TRIGGERED)
  1486. [12:10 AM] Faerie: (As in the monster type)
  1487. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I-it's a large category :sadpopo: )
  1488. [12:10 AM] Faerie: (Spiders are bugs)
  1489. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconids whimpers.
  1490. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wight Wind? Bad, bad wind."
  1491. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Kills spores, kills saplings, kills things."
  1492.  
  1493. [12:11 AM] Faerie: Ah, while Esker's at it, Razmik would be grateful if she could ask the Moxcaps about anyone in need of medical attention.
  1494.  
  1495. [12:11 AM] Eon: Esker forwards that inquiry, though she was pretty sure Raz could 'speak' up himself..
  1496. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, the myconids being attacked have no chance to survive against the Umber Hulk, due to pure, raw difference in combat strength.
  1497. [12:12 AM] Faerie: He could ask them himself, and it's likely they also hear him asking Esker, but one, stuff's weird, and two, who wouldn't be hesitant talking to plants for the first time?
  1498. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Our king's dead..." The adult seems distressed, puffing out blue spores.
  1499. [12:12 AM] Bot Fodder: A sympathetic murmur can be heard amidst the party.
  1500. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He presents the corpse of the dead Myconid Sovereign to the adventurers, weeping out blue spores.
  1501. [12:13 AM] Faerie: ''How long ago was this?'', Razmik asks. Out loud.
  1502. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh... Just now..." The myconid says, "A few seconds..."
  1503. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1504. [12:13 AM] Eon: (are we really going to revivify mushrooms)
  1505. [12:14 AM] Eon: (you do you, I guess.)
  1506. [12:14 AM] Runic: (Quick! Hand over the defibrillator!)
  1507.  
  1508. [12:14 AM] Faerie: ''Tell me now, are you certain?'', Razmik rushes to the corpse's side, procuring something hidden beneath the plate rings on his armor.
  1509. [12:14 AM] Faerie: ''Just now, yes?''
  1510. [12:15 AM] Faerie: One thing everyone's able to hear, as well:
  1511. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Myconid Sovereign's chewn up by the umber hulk, still oozing mushroom ichor.
  1512. [12:15 AM] Faerie: ESKER PLEASE HELP
  1513. [12:15 AM] Eon: WHAT DO YOU WANT HELP WITH
  1514. [12:15 AM] Mizuki: (>spending the scroll on a dumb mushroom)
  1515. [12:15 AM] Faerie: (Does anyone have inspiration)
  1516. [12:16 AM] Faerie: Razmik's hands start shaking a bit, as he opens the piece of parchment, trying to comprehend its power.
  1517. [12:16 AM] Faerie: (I mean, if nobody's gonna stop me #yolo)
  1518. [12:16 AM] Bot Fodder: (If Myconids don't have vitals like humans do, regular healing might work.)
  1519. [12:16 AM] Runic: (I'd do it Mizu, these guys seem pretty cute)
  1520. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow frowns, "Are you certain? ... Well, it's worth a try?"
  1521. [12:16 AM] Faerie: (Guidance, Eon)
  1522. [12:16 AM] Eon: oh.
  1523. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle uses the Help action on Razmik,
  1524. [12:17 AM] Eon: Esker strolls over to Raz, gripping his shoulder.
  1525. [12:17 AM] Faerie: (Also, I dunno, man, this ''physiology'' thing doesn't jive well with DnD!)
  1526. [12:17 AM] Eon: You could swear you see a faint light..
  1527. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Scroll? Ah, from that time..." Recelle murmurs, preparing the body for the ritual of revivification.
  1528. [12:17 AM] Faerie: ''It's fine, it's fine'', Razmik thought. There was nothing to worry about. As long as the had each other, right...?
  1529. [12:17 AM] Faerie: ''Thanks.''
  1530. Time was of the essence.
  1531. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Time to fumble twice)
  1532. [12:18 AM] Faerie: He'll cast Revivify about right now, since I'm pretty sure we should be almost out of time.
  1533. [12:18 AM] Eon: (how do scroll casting work again?)
  1534. [12:18 AM] Bot Fodder: The dull voice (voices? hard to tell) expresses agreement with helping the myconids, and offers... moral support, you guess.(edited)
  1535. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (DC 13 Charisma check for you, Razmik.)
  1536. [12:18 AM] Faerie: The DC is 13. Straight CHA, no prof, right?
  1537. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If you have Cleric level all of a sudden then Wisdom instead)
  1538. [12:19 AM] Mizuki: (Raz going full necromancer)
  1539. [12:19 AM] Faerie: Moral support is about the only kind of support that'll do anything for Razmik, after all these precautions :sadpopo:
  1540. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uhh... no, just ability check)
  1541. [12:19 AM] Eon: (c-check)
  1542. [12:19 AM] Mizuki: ( :blobsweats: )
  1543. [12:19 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3
  1544. [12:19 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 12, Result: 15
  1545. [12:19 AM] Faerie: roll 1d4 Guidance
  1546. [12:19 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 4, Result: 4
  1547. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You open the scroll, and reads the lines of spell power.
  1548. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The words on the scroll fades as you recite them... Correctly.
  1549. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A beam of light strikes down from nowhere, hitting the myconid soverneign squarely in the head.
  1550. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconids stir, as their king stands back up.
  1551. [12:20 AM] Eon: (this was meant for PCs ;-;)
  1552. [12:20 AM] Faerie: Wincing, Razmik keeps his fingertips on the cap. The process wasn't lengthy, but it reminded him a bit of the way used to administer his sacred touch. With that...
  1553. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The creature, standing about 9 feet tall, rises, shaking spore as it does.
  1554. [12:21 AM] Faerie: He exhales, breaking into a cold sweat.
  1555. [12:21 AM] Faerie: (I get Revivify in one level. Get good and don't die until then :smugsatori:)
  1556. [12:21 AM] Mizuki: Alicia sighs relieved - "Third time already huh? What kind of party we are?"(edited)
  1557. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He coughs out a cloud of spore, before shaking around a bit, uncomfortably.
  1558. [12:21 AM] Bot Fodder: (These things remind me of my shit taste in music. This song is entirely unfitting, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zH2JP4LgaE )

  1561. Infected Mushroom - The Pretender
  1562.  
  1563.  
  1564. [12:22 AM] Eon: (it's resed at one hp right?)
  1565. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Thank you." A small voice sounds in your mind.
  1566. [12:22 AM] Runic: Lexon claps in a congratulating manner
  1567. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The mycoids crowd around their king, excited. One of the smaller stalk instead hugs onto Razmik's leg.
  1568. [12:22 AM] Eon: (yup he's on one hp)
  1569. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: They seem happy for what just happened.
  1570. [12:23 AM] Eon: Esker gingerly takes out the Wand of Cure Wounds and taps its on the soverign
  1571. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, oh, joy!" The only remaining adult says.
  1572. [12:23 AM] Faerie: ''Third time, what?'', Razmik is audibl confused.
  1573. [12:23 AM] Eon: roll 1d8+5 heal stick
  1574. [12:23 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+5]: 8, Result: 13
  1575.  
  1576. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconid soverneign stoops down toward the party, "Thank you."
  1577. [12:24 AM] Mizuki: Alicia returns Raz a smug stare.
  1578. [12:24 AM] Eon: "I'm guessing that Umber Hulk did this to you?"
  1579. [12:25 AM] Faerie: You swear you can hear Razmik complain ''Oh, no, not the children...''
  1580. [12:25 AM] Faerie: He doesn't know how to react!
  1581. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bodies of the fallen myconids are quickly collected, turning into dust - or rather, something strangely... Organic. The mounds of organic matters are colleted and buried.
  1582. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Yes." The myconid king of the Moxcaps replied.
  1583. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "During these times, creatures get more excited..." The king explains, "It gets dangerous."
  1584. [12:26 AM] Eon: "I'm guessing you could explain more about the Wight Wind, then.."
  1585. [12:26 AM] Bot Fodder: Somebody remarks that it's a good thing the king didn't burn up, or the party wouldn't have been able to help.
  1586. [12:26 AM] Faerie: ''That's strange, it made its way to one of those tunnels, and we met it shortly after...''
  1587. And all of that happened in under a minute, even!
  1588. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Wight Wind... Ah. That's what you call it." The myconid king sways, shaking out spores.
  1589. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It is a wind in the air, the clouds and omens of evil. Your shamans read the sky and know when it comes, while animals hide by instinct."
  1590. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We live underground, so we don't really interact with the wind itself." The king goes on to say.
  1591.  
  1592. [12:29 AM] Faerie: Razmik wonders why anyone would not want to migrate under after going through that. It sounded atrocious, on top of the terrible weather.
  1593. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The king's mushroom cap is still somewhat wilted, despite producing spores still.
  1594. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Deep down, there are worse things. Squid men."
  1595. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "So your kind take chance up there, with giants and dragons."
  1596. [12:30 AM] Eon: "A-ah. How injured are you still, by the way, I could heal you up a bit more." Esker gingerly holds the Heal Stick
  1597. [12:31 AM] Runic: Lexon perks up from the sound of squid
  1598. [12:31 AM] Faerie: ''Ahh.'' Razmik turns to Alicia. ''Guess you were right, then.''
  1599. [12:31 AM] Faerie: It was the Dark of Unders, alright.
  1600. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconid king huffs out a puff of spore, "It is alright, thank you." ... That said, it's rather injured, though it doesn't request help.
  1601. [12:31 AM] Faerie: (Wand of Cure Wounds™, pls)(edited)
  1602. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There are also other things, worms, dragons... Unknown things. It's danger down here."
  1603. [12:32 AM] Eon: Esker shuffles. She would not go against his wishes, bravado or not.
  1604.  
  1605. [12:32 AM] Eon: "I don't suppose you know where the nearest civilisation above ground is?" It was a long shot, but..
  1606. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Civilization...?"
  1607. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconid pause for a moment.
  1608. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... There are nothing large. Village of wild men with shamans and nomads. Giants, too."
  1609. [12:33 AM] Faerie: Razmik can help a bit with the pain. No, really! He'll place his hands on the sovereign's cap like he had done moments ago, a faint light enveloped it while he's occupied talking to Esker. (It's not because it'd be a waste to keep using the wand!)
  1610. [12:34 AM] Faerie: Lay on Hands for 10.
  1611. [12:34 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconid seems slightly healthier.
  1612. [12:34 AM] Eon: Esker frowns. That was a really dissapointing turn of events.
  1613. [12:34 AM] Faerie: (I, uh, this thing probably has a lot of HP :sadpopo:)
  1614. [12:35 AM] Eon: (only 60, really.)
  1615. [12:36 AM] Mizuki: "About this Wight Wind." - Started Alicia - "Any idea when it started?"(edited)
  1616. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I would 100% prefer if you don't look at the monster datas.)
  1617. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Even if they are allied monsters.)
  1618. [12:36 AM] Eon: (alright ;-;)
  1619. [12:36 AM] Bot Fodder: ( M E T A G A M I N G )
  1620. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "When? ..."
  1621. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Longer than when there are the Moxcaps."
  1622.  
  1623. [12:38 AM] Mizuki: "I see..." - Said Alicia thinking.
  1624. [12:38 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This area isn't safe. Squid men hunts for things after the wind start in tunnels. They like brains."
  1625. [12:38 AM] Eon: Esker sighs. They were left without a lead again. Why couldn't they get an itineary or somthing?
  1626. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We don't have brains, but you do, squid men will hurt you." It seems concerned.
  1627. [12:39 AM] Faerie: The mushroom chief spoke of shamans and wild tribes, right? ''That could be what we're looking for'', Razmik points out. At least it wasn't giants.
  1628. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We can help you find your friends." The king says. "So maybe you can hide with us."
  1629. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wild tribes, men of dance."
  1630. [12:40 AM] Mizuki: She wonders how it works. Does it kill whoever is out there instantly? - "How long until the next wind?"(edited)
  1631. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We don't know the Sky Script." The myconid king huffs a little, "We don't see the sky clearly."
  1632. [12:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You need to ask someone that know the Sky Script - they will read the sky for you."
  1633. [12:41 AM] Eon: Esker perks up a little. Someone like the shamans the myconid king mentioned, then..
  1634. [12:42 AM] Mizuki: (since Alicia rolled high for the brain eatint thing, she already knows about Illithids, right?)
  1635. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Giants know the Sky Script, so do other wild men. To live here for living things, you either live underground, or know the Sky Script."
  1636. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah)
  1637. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Let's say you have a fundamental understanding of mind flayers)
  1638. [12:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you don't know the Sky Script, you don't know the Wight Wind, and you can die, and it's very spooky." The myconids seem to sway, huffing spores at the thought.
  1639. [12:43 AM] Bot Fodder: "... Is it like this everywhere on the surface?"
  1640.  
  1641. [12:43 AM] Faerie: ''And underground is more dangerous, you'd say...?''
  1642. That didn't sound good. Since it seemed like Alicia had been right, Razmik doubted under would be a much more hospitable place.
  1643. [12:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Everywhere? We don't know, our tribe is small... The land is snow and ice forever and ever."
  1644. [12:44 AM] Eon: But up above they didn't have really have reliable way to hide from the Wight Wind either.
  1645. [12:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Underground is dangerous; Above ground you can know when danger is, down here squid men can be anywhere."
  1646. [12:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "They don't care about us because we are not delicious to them, but everyone else eat us."
  1647. [12:44 AM] Mizuki: "Careful not to say too much, they are from the nightmare!" - Whispered Alicia to John and the others, hiding her thoughts from the mushrooms.(edited)
  1648. [12:45 AM] Faerie: ...Razmik has a tenebrous, unspeakable thought at the King's mention.(edited)
  1649. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Myconid soup...
  1650. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Roasted myconid...
  1651. [12:46 AM] Faerie: 'No, no. Not now. That wouldn't be okay...', he tries calming himself down.
  1652. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The Eight Way to Prepare Myconids...
  1653. [12:46 AM] Eon: Esker glares at Raz, these were people!
  1654. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, but Myconids make for good spell components and potion components as well.
  1655. [12:46 AM] Faerie: ''I'm not thinking about eating anyone, you!'', he blurts out in self defense.
  1656. [12:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... That said, myconid sovernigns are often potion brewers on the side, cultivating rare mushrooms and mosses for the purpose. They themselves often use the potions by splashing it at themselves, but they are drinkable.(edited)
  1657. [12:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Marisa would be overjoyed.)
  1658.  
  1659. [12:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The mushrooms stare at the group, as the initial everything dies down.
  1660. [12:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... For now, should we run away to safe places? We don't know where safe is."
  1661. [12:48 AM] Faerie: Razmik wouldn't know about magical drugs, so he gets back on track!
  1662. ''You mentioned helping us hide for a bit, yes? We'd really appreciate that, actually.''
  1663. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: By the way, the small mushrooms move at 10ft, adult at 20ft, and only the king moves at 30ft, so travelling with them is slower. The king'll carry the saplings, but still - 20ft movement.
  1664. [12:49 AM] Mizuki: Alicia nods and explains the party a little about the squid people.
  1665. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We can help - a lot of smaller mushrooms will help in hiding you from the squid men. Too much confusing chatters for them."
  1666. [12:49 AM] Faerie: How big are the adults, and how many are there?
  1667. [12:49 AM] Eon: Esker nods. She - and everyone else - could use some sleep.
  1668. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The adult is 3ft, the saplings are 2ft, the king's at 9ft.
  1669. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The saplings... There are about two dozens, but they are thin and all fits nicely on the king.
  1670. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Sleep? Hahaha. You don't get to rest that easily.
  1671.  
  1672. [12:51 AM] Mizuki: "They might know we're around." - Said Alicia worried. - "We killed one of their creations earlier."
  1673. [12:51 AM] Faerie: ''Yeah'', Razmik agrees. ''Anyone has enough brain in them to know the last thing you should do is letting a squid person near your brain.''
  1674. [12:51 AM] Runic: Lexon listens to Alicia's talk about squid men, he quickly realizes they don't seem as appetizing as real squids
  1675. [12:51 AM] Eon: (muh spell slots)
  1676. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The myconids agree to help, and will attempt to shelter you.
  1677. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: But... As the Wight Wind blows over the land, it'll be a long, long nightmare for you.
  1678. [12:51 AM] Faerie: So, could we carry the adult along?
  1679. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Yeah. That's actually doable, if a little awkward.
  1680. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's like carrying around a large mushroom, the size of a human child.
  1681. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... For the time being... The hulk is CR 5.... Uh. Hm.
  1682. [12:52 AM] Mizuki: (new pet!)
  1683. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... 800 XP for the party.
  1684. [12:52 AM] Faerie: Razmik offers it a piggyback! Or maybe he can carry it overhead, like a big jar...
  1685. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The adult is carried by Razmik, then.
  1686. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group of adventures, then, will be lead by the myconids toward the closest thing to "safety" down here...
  1687. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Well, shall we stop here for the day?
  1688.  
  1689. [12:54 AM] Faerie: (I have a question)
  1690. [12:54 AM] Runic: (Almost 4 am right now for me, yeah)
  1691. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sure.)
  1692. [12:54 AM] Faerie: (Are we gonna be eaten by an elder brain)
  1693. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, we'll stop here for the day!
  1694. [12:54 AM] Faerie: (If so, is it Mizu's fault? And okay)
  1695. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thanks for playing, everyone! We'll continue down for a bit next session.(edited)
  1696. [12:54 AM] Mizuki: (we're going to KILL an elder brain!)
  1697. [12:55 AM] Eon: ended up in the Underdark after all :thinking:
  1698. [12:55 AM] Runic: Thanks for gm'ing Koga, as always
  1699. [12:55 AM] Mizuki: yeah, thanks for the game!
  1700. [12:55 AM] Faerie: (I don't know how to break it to you, man, but a single mind flayer alone is smarter than everyone in the party combined)
  1701. [12:55 AM] Eon: today is Esker flops around day :sadpopo:
  1702. [12:56 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
