[S] Brian: Recon Mission

==BEGIN==
DM_TZIVOS
Heading to the east, you spend roughly another 30 minutes walking in the pouring rain until reaching the edge of the forested area
puddles litter the ground, and the foliage is extremely dense in certain areas
there is an opening into the dense forest itself just a few steps beyond its edge
do you proceed?
Brian_Carter
Yeah, of course.
DM_TZIVOS
another few minutes go by as you practically wade through shin-high foliage and shrubbery covering the path until you reach a clearing where three basilisks are crawling and slithering about, seemingly hunting for prey
Brian_Carter
Can I stealth into the action
DM_TZIVOS
the pouring rain masks the sound of your arrival, yes
Brian_Carter
Do I have to roll for it
DM_TZIVOS
Yes, roll stealth to remain unnoticed as the basilisks creep about

with the area clear of distracting monsters, you can see a path through the foliage to the east
Brian_Carter
You slowly walk through it, keeping your eyes peeled
DM_TZIVOS
you walk for a few minutes before reaching a split in the path, the trees and foliage becoming too dense to continue in one direction. The paths go to the north and south
Brian_Carter
Is it like, straight 45 degree changes?
DM_TZIVOS
the northern path turns almost that much, but the southern path turns slightly more softly than it's opposite
Brian_Carter
Wonderful.

Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ] | {2}
Brian_Carter
You go south
DM_TZIVOS

this time leading back east and continuing south
Brian_Carter
!roll 1d2
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ] | {2}
Brian_Carter

DM_TZIVOS
you continue for a few more minutes through the path until you reach another clearing, where a strange skeletal monster in a cloak and hood is standing and seemingly reciting something in front of a ruined building
Brian_Carter
Has it noticed me yet
DM_TZIVOS
you're unnoticed by the creature, so roll stealth if you want to
Brian_Carter
I duck into cover and patch myself up for a moment.

Brian_Carter
Look around obv
DM_TZIVOS
The clearing contains little else aside from the rain-soaked ruins of a simple house, the interior fallen to pieces and eroded over seemingly many years.
Brian_Carter
You pop in the house
DM_TZIVOS
inside the ruins are long-ruined traces of what used to be furniture and pieces of a household
Brian_Carter
Nothing else?
DM_TZIVOS
stairs extend up into nowhere and down into a partially flooded basement, the wood on the stairs having long since rotted alongside the rest of the house
Brian_Carter
Well, you shine your flashlight into the basement. Anything of interest?
DM_TZIVOS
various rotted workbenches with decayed and ruined tools of a blacksmith's craft are placed throughout the basement
Brian_Carter
You head back outside and proceed. Anything further to the south?
DM_TZIVOS
The foliage grows densely around the southern border of the clearing, preventing further trekking. There is the path you followed here and a path to the east
Brian_Carter
Well, let's follow the straight path. East it is
DM_TZIVOS
you walk through the path, moving bushes and branches aside as you do, until you reach another clearing, bigger than the last one and occupied by a small congregation of three ogres and two skeletal figures
they're reciting something in front of a collection of three ruined buildings
Brian_Carter
...
You strongly consider backing out of this one for now
On the other hand
It's better to do it at high health

Brian_Carter
What prototypings do we have?
DM_TZIVOS
foam-bag gas-can lich, foam-bag gloves lich, foam-bag ogre, gloves ogre, foam ogre
Brian_Carter
You yell at the two with gloves. "Hey, Two at a time. Do you know honor?" You flash your gloves at them, hoping they take it as a sign of respect.

Brian_Carter
You check out these sweet buildings.
TZIVOS_DM
the buildings are in roughly the same state of disarray as the previous ruins you came across, their mostly wooden frames rotting away as the interiors are endlessly soaked in and eroded by rain, but you manage to find a strange metal case resembling the crows' technology
Brian_Carter
What sort of case are we talking here
TZIVOS_DM
a case as large as an encyclopedia with a locking mechanism you can't recognize
Brian_Carter
You captchalogue it
Nothing else in the area?
TZIVOS_DM
there is the path you came from and a path leading north this time
Brian_Carter
By common sense, and by you telling me
would this path by chance connect to the path to the east that i skipped early on
TZIVOS_DM
yes, but go see for yourself
Brian_Carter
You go see for yourself

you walk through the path and the various foliage that occupies space in the path before reaching a small clearing, where a small, strange creature, more akin to an automaton than an animal or monster, seemingly made out of clockwork, notices you and immediately dashes into and disappears inside the dense foliage surrounding the clearing
Brian_Carter
Um
What.
You proceed, I guess
TZIVOS_DM
paths leading back west, forward north, and to the east connect to the clearing
Brian_Carter
Back west is that fork i found earlier
right?
TZIVOS_DM
yes, but go see for yourself to be sure
TZIVOS_DM
after walking a short distance into the path, it splits to the north and south directions
Brian_Carter
You go north then
no
wait
you turn around
and go back east
to that clearing
and go further east
TZIVOS_DM
you walk along the path for a few more minutes and it becomes less dense and crowded with foliage until you eventually manage to exit the forest, wherein you're greeted by the sight of a large ruined village with a clock tower standing tall, its shadow a cloak which hangs over the village
Brian_Carter
Okay. You'll return here in a bit.
Back to the clearing, NOOOOOOOW you head north.
TZIVOS_DM
heading through the clearing and and presumably turning down the north path, you spend a few minutes walking until you reach a clearing containing 2 more liches making recitations in front of a string of ruins with a small congregation of 5 imps gathering around
Brian_Carter

sandbag imp 2 wants to join in on the fun, but the lich and all the other imps are basically hogging the space
which, hilariously, means the spoopy green skeletons can't even reach you because of the crowd surrounding you
they just do spoopy skeleton things in frustration
sandbag imp 1 is stuck doing the same after running up to the back of the crowd
foam-bag gas-can lich is suddenly regretting getting this congregation together as the spoopy skeletons disintegrate into dust

Three or so ruined buildings are scattered throughout the clearing, in the same state of disarray as everything else you've seen before
Brian_Carter

DM_TZIVOS
you find a strange pair of worn and ruined goggles which seem to faintly resonate in your hands
Brian_Carter
You try putting them on
DM_TZIVOS
the goggles, soaked in rain and rust from years of decay, are uncomfortable to wear to say the least, but you feel a strange energy flow through your body for a second before disappearing
Brian_Carter
You take a mental note of that, and captchalogue them.
Any paths, aside from the one to the south?
DM_TZIVOS
there's a path heading to the west
Brian_Carter
You take it
DM_TZIVOS
you walk through the pouring rain and thick foliage-covered path before entering a smaller clearing with a single lich and a basilisk both sitting around an abandoned bonfire site
you're unnoticed

you walk for a few more minutes before stumbling into a very small clearing with a wooden stump fashioned into a seat in the center of the area. A clockwork creature like the previous two is examining the stump
wanna roll stealth or just let it notice you?
Brian_Carter
I mean
there's a loooooow chance
!roll 1d20+2
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=16 ] | {18}
DM_TZIVOS
!roll 1d20+15
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {27}
Brian_Carter
worth a try
DM_TZIVOS
the creature's gears begin to grind and turn furiously as steam pours out of its body, and it notices you, dashing into the foliage immediately after
Brian_Carter
Yup, of course.
Well then, you check out the lone stump.
DM_TZIVOS
roll investigation/perception to check it out
Brian_Carter
!roll 1d20
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {12}
DM_TZIVOS
the stump looks to be carved in a very specific manner, but nothing else sticks out immediately
Brian_Carter
Well, you try sitting on it.
This is clearly important.
DM_TZIVOS
the stump is surprisingly comfy, to your surprise, but it's just a stump as far as you can currently tell
Brian_Carter
You continue your investigation/perception.
This is obviously SOMETHING.
!roll 1d20
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {1}
Brian_Carter
...
DM_TZIVOS
absolutely nothing interesting sticks out
and you notice nothing
this stump looks as ordinary as they come, excluding its fancy carving
Brian_Carter
THE STUMP MUST BE NOT A STUMP AT ALL
You flip it upwards, Land of Stumps and Dismay style.
DM_TZIVOS
roll athletics at disadvantage to flip a tree trunk
these things are fucking heavy
Brian_Carter
!roll 2#1d20+11
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 2#1d20+11 -->  | [ 1d20=2 ]{13}, [ 1d20=5 ]{16}
DM_TZIVOS
you budge it maybe half an inch from the ground. roll at disadvantage again if you want
Brian_Carter
!roll 2#1d20+11
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 2#1d20+11 -->  | [ 1d20=18 ]{29}, [ 1d20=2 ]{13}
Brian_Carter
motherfuck
DM_TZIVOS
you budge it another half-inch. roll at disadvantage again if you want
Brian_Carter
!roll 2#1d20+11
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 2#1d20+11 -->  | [ 1d20=19 ]{30}, [ 1d20=10 ]{21}
DM_TZIVOS
you strain your arms and lift with your knees, moving the trunk a foot or two out of the ground. You barely hear a faint *thump* coming from inside the stump
Brian_Carter
There's something IN the stump.
You inspect the carving again.
!roll 1d20
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=8 ] | {8}
Brian_Carter
...
DM_TZIVOS
fancy carvings, ain't they?
Brian_Carter
Let's see.
You try putting on them fancy goggles.
DM_TZIVOS
you don't feel the same energy from before, but you can see that there's a strange and barely functional piece of the goggles which allows you to slightly zoom in
Brian_Carter
You do so
DM_TZIVOS
+2 to your perception/investigation rolls
Brian_Carter
!roll 1d20+2
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=17 ] | {19}
DM_TZIVOS
you find a strange indentation in the side of the stump with what appears to be tiny hinges sticking out close to it
Brian_Carter
You pull?
DM_TZIVOS
the indentation pulls open small and almost unnoticeable section of the stump containing a strange piece of miraculously undamaged metal which twists and turns on itself, bearing a similarity in design to the metal case from before
Brian_Carter
You pull out the metal case and try using the new piece of metal on the case.
DM_TZIVOS
you have absolutely no damn clue how to use these two things together, since you've never seen this kind of technology before
or experienced it
or studied it
Brian_Carter
Well isn't this a god damned shame.
You captchalogue both.
You head further east, back to that town you found.
