Sorodin
"Yeah, you can use the back door."
Johnny
"thanks man"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Thank you, indeed"
"Could you please point us to the back door?"
Sorodin
It's a door just behind the desk place thing.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Thanks again"
Sorodin
In the glass wall
Lavira_Dyenus
I head through the door, gesturing for Johnny to follow
Johnny
"and take care of these two rhinoes. they're smarted than the rest out there"
* Johnny then follows
Sorodin
"That won't be a problem."
Johnny
"thanks again man, you two be good"
Sorodin
You guys exit the door, and exit on a hemicircular platform attached to the back of the building.
Idiot rhinos didn't even bother going around.
Johnny
"wow"
"just wow"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Indeed"
I take a second to find the direction Ventus said the underground base was located at
and I begin heading out
Sorodin
You start walking due north.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Keep up Johnny"
"We've got a potentially long walk ahead of us"
Johnny
"i'm the one able to fly right now i think i'll manage"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Good to hear"
Johnny
"wanna lift for a bit?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'll tell you if I get tired"
Johnny
"duly noted"
we continue in this direction
Lavira_Dyenus
nothing much to be said, so I focus on keeping a consistent pace while we travel
Sorodin
After about fourty minutes of walking, you guys encounter a giant triceratops about 20 times the size of you!
Oh no!
Lavira_Dyenus
Is it provoked?
Johnny
does it know we're here?
Sorodin
No and no
Roll WIS checks, both of you
Johnny
i whisper to Lavira "talk, fight or stealth?"
Lavira_Dyenus
!roll 1d20+1 "Let's try to remain quiet"

Johnny
!roll 1d20+2
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {17}
Sorodin
Using insane common sense skills, you determine that the giant bone-white triceratops splayed out on the ground in front of you is not actually alive!
It's a skeleton
Lavira_Dyenus
"Well, I feel like a fool"
Johnny
"no"
"give it a second"
"and a wide birth"
Sorodin
!roll 1d20
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {15}
Sorodin
Thankfully, there is no dread necromancer nearby to resurrect it.
Johnny
"okay i can safely say it's not in fact gonna rez on us"
Sorodin
You have a vague sense of disappointment from the many viewers who wanted to see the fight
Lavira_Dyenus
"Let's continue making our way due north."
"This feels like a rather pointless distraction"
Johnny
boohoo to you the other part of me died go read that
"yep"
"yep, tho 3 horns is better than 1"
"think it was smarter or dumber than the ones we've seen?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I... don't know what to say to that, but I suppose so"
Sorodin
Were either of you by any chance mapping the route you came?
Johnny
yep
i make phone notes
Sorodin
Okay cool.
Johnny
to tell G
Lavira_Dyenus
I move around the skeleton, beckoning for johnny to do the same, and continue heading due north
Johnny
"my question is how'd it die?"
"maybe it's just too big for it's heart?"
Sorodin
You guys head north for a good hour or two more, ignoring the various things exploding and rhinos dying.
Lavira_Dyenus
About as standard as it gets here
Johnny
"why is your land a michael bay movie anyway?"
Sorodin
Eventually, you find yourself on an open plain (well there's a surprise). About halfway through the bone starts to rot.
Johnny
where're the bones from?
Sorodin
The bone is the ground.
The ground is bone, covered with a thin layer of rain and blood.
Lavira_Dyenus
"I don't know who Michael Bay is, but I think it's time to be cautious"
"This is a rather morbid sight, I must say"
"Be on your guard"
Johnny
"oddly, i've seen worse"
"and yep"
Lavira_Dyenus
I keep moving due north while keeping my guard held
Johnny
"what's beneath this bone anyway if it's rotting?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Who knows. I'd rather not find out in person"
Johnny
"yeah mine had nothing below the crust so when i fell i 'fell' all the way to the battlefield"
"where i saw the Black King die and stuff i think i told you about it"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I hope this land isn't as hollow as yours. Without my own ability to fly, I'd be at quite the risk of death on impact with the battlefield"
Johnny
"was weird, battlefield was kinda... soft?"
"like i shoulda been paste but wasn't hurt at all"
Sorodin
You guys head due north for a few more minutes, noting that the rhinos start to grow less frequent and for once the air is clear of explosion sounds
unfortunately, that doesn't really help the atmosphere.
Johnny
"wow, you forget how quiet it is without the explosions, you should be careful to not go deaf with them going off all the time"
Sorodin
Then you come across this massive mountain riddled with caves, a small teepee village at the bottom of it.
Johnny
"so the base is either here or beyond here"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Most likely"
Johnny
"...we shoulda asked for a map"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Yes, we should have"
Johnny
"but we did get cool new weapons so that's a plus!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"True. I will have quite the interesting time combining these weapons upon returning to my hive"
"I've accumulated a small ensemble of elements at my disposal."
"Fire, Lightning, Kyanite, and potentially more to come"
Johnny
"my knives liquify but idk if you'd count that as water element"
Sorodin
Kyanite is totally an element
Johnny
periodic table
Lavira_Dyenus
yes, yes it totally is
Johnny
scienced
"so wanna head into the village?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I see no reason why not. I doubt the villagers would know about the base's location, but they might have other information."
"But let's keep our time there brief"
Johnny
"tell em Ven sent us and see what happens"
Sorodin
If these guys are who they might be, wouldn't it be wise to exercise caution?
Johnny
we are
Lavira_Dyenus
"It would probably be best to leave out Ventus when talking with these creatures."
Johnny
"probably the outer clan that shot Lucretia with that stray arrow"
"so yeah Ven's off out list of friends right now"
Lavira_Dyenus
"This might be an outer clan, yes, and even if they weren't the ones who shot Lucretia, they would probably become aggressive at the mention of his name"
I walk into and through the village, glancing around for anyone who looks important or knowledgeable
Johnny
"okay. we have a plan but we just have to remember to keep an open head and a clear mind"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Understood. Now follow me into the village."
Johnny
"aye chief"
Sorodin
The moment you guys even get near the village, a large man with boar tusks and markings runs up, baring his teeth and bearing his axe.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Hold! We mean no harm!"
"We're simply traveling through the land at the moment!"
Sorodin
It doesn't look like he understands you, responding with a series of grunts and snarls.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Johnny, let's back off"
"The village is a no-go, it seems"
* Johnny backs off but tries to learn some of the language
Lavira_Dyenus
I keep my guard up and prepare to dodge the boar-man's attack while I back away
Sorodin
Roll INT
Johnny
!roll 1d20+1
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=7 ] | {8}
Sorodin
You don't understand anything at all.
As you back away, he seems satisfied and resumes patrolling.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Let's travel around the village, instead"
Johnny
"oh he has a literal agro range"
"and yeah that's a better plan"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I don't know what that means, but take notes of the village's location for now in case we must return to it"
"Now let's continue"
Sorodin
Probably a good idea, given the fact that a few of the caves on the mountain just spouted out lava.
Never a good sign.
Lavira_Dyenus
I carefully circumvent the village without attracting any more unwanted attention
Johnny
"LAVA!"
Sorodin
Lavira, roll Stealth or shit
idk
Insight?
Lavira_Dyenus
how fast is the lava flowing and how high is it?
!roll 1d20+10 Stealth
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=7 ] | {17}
Sorodin
The lava was just a singular spout, it flew out, and then landed on the ground and solidified.
It's maybe 40 yards up.
Johnny
"oh okay i overreacted there"
"sorry to freak"
"didn't want any pompe stuff happening here"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Let's keep our eyes open, maintain distance from the village, and continue"
"We've encountered a plethora of roadblocks already, let's keep moving so we don't encounter more"
Sorodin
You guys successfully make it to the other side of the village without being murderified by boardudes.
Johnny
"yep i'm keeping tabs on our direction and how long it takes us to find things for distances"
Lavira_Dyenus
I continue heading due north towards wherever Ventus' base might be
"Good job"
"Keep taking those notes while we travel"
Johnny
"want me to fly higher and see what i can?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"That's a good idea"
"Don't fly too high, though"
* Johnny flys up into the air and looks around
Johnny
perception
!roll 1d20+4
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {8}
Sorodin
Okay, well, there's a weird antennae thingy on top of the mountain, and a caravan coming from the east.
Thankfully, no Perception check needed!
Johnny
a caravan?
Sorodin
A bunch of covered wagons.
Johnny
you message Lavira
NH: hey there's an antenna atop the mountain and a caravan coming from the east
NH: i think this might be the place?
Lavira_Dyenus
CC: The antenna would suggest that it most likely is
CC: Try locating an entrance on the mountainside or something similar
CC: I'll begin climbing it
Johnny
NH: i'll find it then help you up there
Lavira_Dyenus
I try making my way to the base of the mountain without disturbing the boar-men village so I can begin climbing
* Johnny flies around the sides of the mountain looking for an entrance or a non-lava-full hole
Lavira_Dyenus
!roll 1d20+10 stealth, if needed
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ] | {30}
Sorodin
Wow lavira critting on all the checks that dont even need crits
Which face are you looking at Johnny?
North, south, east, or west?
Johnny
you check south first then go clockwise around
Sorodin
On the south face, there are three holes about 40 yards off the ground, two about 60 yards above that and to the left, four maybe 10 above those, and one at the very top area.
None of them are currently spewing lava.
Lavira_Dyenus
CC: Try taking a closer look at any holes or entrances for any potential signs of the base
Johnny
NH: lots of caves to enter but maybe the top would be best since it's closest to the antenna and furthest from the underground lava
* Johnny checks the highest ones first then moves to the lower ones
Sorodin
None of them have something directly in them.
Lavira_Dyenus
CC: I'll try climbing for the top entrance, then
Sorodin
Of course, there are a bunch of twists and turns, but you don't go that far.
Lavira_Dyenus
I try climbing my way to the top entrance closest to the antenna on the south face
Sorodin
...
Okay.
Endurance, Athletics.
* Johnny goes to Help Lavira
Sorodin
How?
Johnny
by making sure she knows where hand holds are and acting as a flying safety net
and maybe testing said hand holds before hand
Sorodin
Okay, add your INT modifier to the rolls Gala
*Johnny's WIS
or INT
Lavira_Dyenus
!roll 1d20+10 athletics with help

Lavira_Dyenus
!roll 1d20+5 endurance with johnny's help
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {6}
* Johnny is ready to catch her if she falls
Sorodin
You fall critically, Johnny catching you but only slowing the fall because flying people are not stable.
You guys hit the ground with a sickening crunch.
74 damage to Lavira, 37 to Johnny.
Johnny
"LAVIRA YOU OKAY!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Ugh, I'm fine, but not without a myriad of bruises and potentially worse injuries"
Johnny
"No more climbing!"
"we're resting and i'm patching you up right now!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I couldn't climb again for quite a while, not without a very long rest."
Sorodin
One of the boarmen come over and prod at you cautiously,
Johnny
"we're not threats"
* Johnny you raise your arms to show you're not a threat
Sorodin
They pick you two up, and carry you off to the village.
Johnny
"...this is something"
Lavira_Dyenus
"At least they're no longer hostile, for now"
Johnny
"they see a kicked puppy they're not gonna kick it"
Sorodin
After squealing and grunting excitedly with a few other boars, they bring you into a tent crudely marked with what looks like a red cross.
Johnny
"oh hell they have a hospital"
Sorodin
After putting you on some stone-and-dry-leaf beds, they run off.
Probably to find the shaman or shit.
Johnny
"you okay Lavira?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'm fine, but we need to patch ourselves up."
Lavira_Dyenus
LONG REST ENSUE
LOTS OF MEDICINE
LOTS OF POKEMON SUN
NOT A LOT OF TALKING CUZ POKEMON IS ABSORBING
Johnny
"...and that's the legendary Solgaleo"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Interesting."
"This game is... very colorful and interesting"
Johnny
"yeah, so after seeing a bunch of them which is your fave?"
Sorodin
What're your parties?
Lavira_Dyenus
"I don't know how much I enjoy it, but I can't deny the aesthetic appeal"
Johnny
*party
Johnny only has one
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'm feeling better than before, so let's try climbing the mountain again, but slowly this time"
Sorodin
okay yeah
who's in your party
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'll try going for the entrances in increments, this time"
Johnny
"and start with the lower ones first"
Lavira_Dyenus
I exit the tent and give a gesture of extreme gratitude to the boar-men before returning to the mountain
Johnny
"want me to carry you this time?"
Sorodin
It looks like they're constructing a statue of you and johnny in the middle of the tents, out of who-knows-what.
Lavira_Dyenus
Interesting, but I pay it little heed
Johnny
"oh sweet"
i give a glance at what we're doing
in statue form
Sorodin
Falling.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Sure, you can carry me."
Sorodin
Falling *gracefully.*
Johnny
...neat
"okay it's better than you hurting your hands"
* Johnny carries Lavira
Lavira_Dyenus
I shift my weight around to help Johnny in carrying me
Sorodin
Johnny do the athletics roll thing
Lavira_Dyenus

Johnny

!roll 2#1d20+1
Kaiserbot[Dice]
rolled 2#1d20+1 -->  | [ 1d20=3 ]{4}, [ 1d20=6 ]{7}
Johnny
so this is on the ground
Sorodin
...I'm going to be merciful and say that you guys don't even get off the ground.\
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'll try climbing normally again."
"Just give me some assistance like you did last time"
Johnny
"...arms are a little dead from not doing much..."
* Johnny helps Lavira by checking for hand holds again but also by keeping a hand on her so she doesn't slip
Lavira_Dyenus
I try climbing up to the closest 40 meter-high entrance this time
Sorodin
Okay do the Athletics and Endurance with Johnny's WIS again
Lavira_Dyenus
!roll 1d20+2 athletics with Johnny's help

Sorodin
Look, you make it this time!
Lavira_Dyenus
I use Light Refraction to light up the darkened areas in this entrance/alcove
Johnny
"whoo, finally"
* Johnny uses light on camera to reflect off Lavira's sword
Sorodin
There we go.
It goes straight out for a good few yards before turning right.
Johnny
"best be careful of lava tho we'll see and feel it coming from pressure, heat and light"
Lavira_Dyenus
"indeed. Let's keep moving"
Maintaining our current light source, I beckon for johnny to follow me into the alcove
Sorodin
You guys head into the alcove, and run right into three imps with draconic heads and pickaxes. When they see you, they start, and then growl.

"Let's keep moving"
Johnny

Lavira_Dyenus
Is there anything left in the alcove?
Sorodin
You guys enter an area that could've been a workshop at one point, but the various metals and welding tools are melted and burned, except for a few. A few cupboards line the wall, and there's two tables in the center of the room. There's an opening across from you.
Lavira_Dyenus
an opening in the floor or wall?
Sorodin
Wall.
Lavira_Dyenus
"Let's continue"
I head through the opening with Johnny in tow
Johnny

And of course, all that fire has to go somewhere.
And then he explodes, bringing down half the cavern while he's at it.
Johnny
"SHIT!"
Sorodin
The cave in front of you is still accessible.
Johnny
oh good
Lavira_Dyenus
can we still go to the previous room?
Sorodin
nope
Johnny
can we get the exp and grist first
Sorodin
oh yeah.
20 each
Johnny
grist?
Sorodin
jeez dude patience pls
16 t2, 34 t1, 93 build
Lavira_Dyenus
"Take the extra build grist"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Well, that was slightly unpleasant, but we're good to continue"
Johnny
"thanks my house does need some upgrades"
Lavira_Dyenus
I head into the next room/alcove
Johnny
"hell yeah, also i keep getting to quip people it's great"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Oh, that. You certainly have some interesting things to say mid-combat"
"Personally, I think that could leave you rather distracted, but if it works for you, it works"
Johnny
"hehe, yeah guess it's just my way of dealing with stress in the heat of combat and stuff"
Lavira_Dyenus
"To each their own."
Johnny
"well how do you deal with it?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I emotionally detach myself during combat, focusing only on defeating the enemy in front of me"
"It's been an effective method"
Johnny
so that's why she's so focused "but when does combat end? some people say life is a constant fight and struggle so where's the line drawn?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Combat ends when I or my opponent can no longer stand and fight, basically"
Johnny
Johnny smiles knowing that "that's good to know, so you're clearly not detached now"
Lavira_Dyenus
"That is very correct. I do my best to try being aware of my surroundings so I don't unnecessarily harm or attack anyone or anything"
Johnny
"huh, maybe i will try that. like when completing a test or the final round of a tourney with absolute focus right"
Lavira_Dyenus
"It's a useful tactic to ensure you don't become distracted"
Johnny
"huh, it's weird how things change so much though. last week i could never have imagined doing... anything that wasn't the norm and now we're adventuring, fighting monster, being heroes... not really what you expect outta life"
Lavira_Dyenus
"True. I expected to lead a life of fighting, and although I may have still gotten it, it certainly hasn't been what i was expecting."
Johnny
"never thought you'd be climbing a mountain one second then playing a game you can't even read with an alien the next right"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Indeed."
"This game is a truly bizarre one, indeed"
Johnny
"it's not really a game by standards i'd give it"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I can't argue with that"
Lavira_Dyenus
"This is anything but a game. Fighting for our lives, discovering these strange planets, becoming gods, these are events of mythical proportions"
Johnny
"well that's par for the course minus the being in it and death part"
"the story makes sense"
"it's the feel"
Lavira_Dyenus
"The feel? You'll have to explain"
Johnny
"i got into Gaming when a doctor that performed surgery to save my life, well, saved my life. afterwards he gave me a handheld and i smiled whilst playing it"
"sure games can make you feel all kinds of emotions all the time but they're made for enjoyment"
"this game brings despair and i couldn't imagine doing it alone. others around you are the lights of this game"
Lavira_Dyenus
"This game is certainly anything but fun."
"I've not had a very complicated time while playing it, but I understand the flurry of negative emotions it spurs within oneself"
Johnny
"well it's not all bad" Johnny smiles "i got to meet some amazing people after all!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Very true."
Johnny
"also don't you have *two* farrons to cuddle with now?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Also true."
Johnny
"wait"
Lavira_Dyenus
"what?"
Johnny
"if you prototype Farron into Farronsprite... what do you get?"
"squared cuddles?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"That.... sounds like quite the strange conundrum"
Sorodinn
Something amazing.
Johnny
"like do they have double everything or is everything just squared good?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I truly have no idea"
Johnny
"i'd rather have the revival option but this is making me curious"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I have to agree with that."
Johnny
"if we find a return node to your hive would the Farrons attack me?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"No, not as long as I'm there"
Johnny
"good, because the fact you spoke about their cuddles with such enthusiasm before make me wanna do it too"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I'm sure Farron would be happy to cuddle with a friend."
Johnny
"hehe okay okay let's get a move on, sorry to halt the progress"
Lavira_Dyenus
with that, Johnny and I both continue through the opening into the next room/alcove
Sorodinn
You guys continue down a snakelike tunnel, before you find two dragon ogres and a lich with wings and eyes literally made of fire beating up something that could have been a red rhino, if not for the shovel-blade hind legs.
Lavira_Dyenus

I immediately crouch down and go silent
signaling for johnny to do the same
Sorodinn

"they poofed"

Sorodin
"Oh! Well, see, I'm part of the rhino group that came in here to do experiments and recon!"
Johnny
"Ven's men?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"for what?"
Sorodin
"I'm not sure where the monsters are coming from, but just recently a bunch of these dragon dudes came from inside the volcano!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"Huh"
Johnny
"the monsters started spawning here too huh"
Lavira_Dyenus

Johnny
"i've seen the dragon prototype before on the White Queen"

"Have you?"

"Oh, just experiments in general! Like, cloud veils, levitation technology."
To demonstrate, he starts to float a bit above the ground.
Johnny
"wasn't a nuke brought here?"
Lavira_Dyenus
"That's actually rather impressive."
Sorodin
"Yeah, it was."
Johnny
"oh that's cool! what equipment is causing that?"
Sorodin
"We're trying to figure out how it works so we can block it more effectively."
He turns to show you a little jetpack-esque thing on his back, but much smaller and clean-cut.
Lavira_Dyenus
"This is all rather interesting. I'd love to talk about this further once we finish our trek through this mountain, when we have the time to do so"
"Are you able to make your way back to your headquarters?"
Johnny
"oooooooooh! wow this is cool! Lavira you should get one of these"
Lavira_Dyenus
"I should, which is why I want to discuss this once we finish."
Sorodin
"I could probably show you the way, but there are a bunch of dragon monsters in the tunnels!"
Lavira_Dyenus
"We can handle the monsters as long as you lead us forward"
Johnny
"hehe we got em don't worry"
Lavira_Dyenus
