Co- Dm Matt and Shawn - Up in the sky Friday January 12th, 2018 10:30:19 AM
In the wake of all the animal activity suddenly things get eerily quiet, so quiet in fact that you could hear a pin drop if you were so inclined. It doesn’t last long. All of a sudden there comes a horrendous crash and things sound as if the Wold is tearing itself apart. The sound is so loud that you can’t quite pinpoint where it is coming from and if you were hard pressed to guess you would have to say everywhere but you aren’t quite sure how that is possible but suffice it to say it is that LOUD.
Eventually the racket subsides and you hope for a second that maybe whatever that was signified the end of all the troubles happening of late. If only things were so fortunate because not even a full moment after the thundering noise ceases does the ground start trembling again...could it be an earthquake?
This activity feels different as if it is in reaction to something major and not the main event itself. Is the Wold really being split apart? Have the Woldians done something to anger the Gods? Who knows?
The ground you are standing on rocks back and forth like a ship tossed about in a tempestuous sea. Bits of rock, dust and other debris start to fall from the nearby dunes and rock outcroppings and fissures open up in the ground along the paths and thoroughfares. An old, abandonned boat in your proximity tumbles down one of the chasms that have opened up and after a short amount of time you hear the impact of wood on rock and you think luckily there wasn’t a taur in it.
And then just as quickly as the concussive sound appeared and the tremors started, the Wold shaking terminates.

This is by far the loudest sound anyone has ever heard.
Then Meteors can be seen streaking across the sky, with brilliant sparkling colors trailed by fiery tails. Their trajectory puts them heading nearby. Priests, witches and those with any predictive abilities feel a sense of dread.
One of these meteors comes crashing somewhere less than a day’s walk from the party. Further up the beach around a bend in the coastline.
Villagers can be seen running from the town towards theparty.

(Fort Save = 7 FAIL) Tsak flounders, the shaking has stopped, but he's not sure about the noise. His whole head is ringing. He thinks he can't hear anything, but his ears hurt. Putting a hand up to check for blood, he's relieved to find none. His surroundings now seem surreal, without sound everything lacks context. The waves move, but there's no crash. There is movement everywhere but an eerie silence too. Then the meteors flash across the sky and appear to explode into the earth - no sound. Villagers are coming, but how will anyone communicate if none can hear?
It's all a bit much and the half-orc plonks down on the sand to take a minute to collect himself. Maybe this really is the end of the wold...

Sable shrugs off the loud noise all around him. He points towards the closest meteor strike and says ”Maybe we should investigate”

Elyas looks around as the noises start but can't pinpoint the source, when all of a sudden the noise stops. He still sees things shaking and stuff falling from the sky, but can't hear any of it. He sees Sable pointing at the impact point, but had no idea what was said

"That was uncomfortable." Kiwina sees the villagers approach, and prepares to tell them the news -- the aumakua say the sea is safer than the land right now.

Rolth, used to the howling winds of the sea, also shrugs off the booming noise. (Fort save = 20, success) He nods to Sable and leads the group off in the direction of the closest meteor strike.

Reminded by Kiwina’s comments, Rolth will pull up short to warn the villagers to stay back from the quicksands and find out what they want from the party. Then we can decide whether to head immediately for the meteor site or not.

Sable, noticing that some of his fellow party members are looking at him in confusion, will try and take a look to see if the hearing loss is permanent or temporary. (Untrained Heal = Roll 14 = 10).

Gothruk panics. The wold is being torn apart. He sees the others focusing on the more immediate issues, their ears, the meteors. He tries to swallow his terror, and fails. Give him a monster to fight and he will battle till his last breath. But this.. surely this is the end. He doesn't know what to do.

Falco stands blinking and looking around, hands over his ears. He shakes his head a couple of time and sticks his fingers in them to try and clear them before practically yelling.
"What? I can't hear anything."
Confused and a little scared he looks around at the others seeing many of them having the save experience.
I hope this is not permanent. I am going to be useless if I cannot hear.
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn - Up in the sky Tuesday January 16th, 2018 12:19:07 AM
Suddenly the world goes quiet for falco, Finnian, Elyas
Gothruk, rolth, kiwina, Sable meanwhile are fine, their hearing staying intact.
While Rolth warns the villagers to stay back, Sable examines the others to see if the deafness is permanent. He doesn't seem to be able to tell.
In the distance more and more meteors can be seen slamming into the wold with a loud thump. Though these are landing a lot further away.

Tsak allows Sable to check his ears. He can't tell much from the Minotaur's expression. If anything Sable seems as confused as Tsak. Hopefully his deafness is temporary and will pass. What to do in the meantime? Without knowing what the villagers or party are discussing Tsak doesn't feel like he's able to contribute in any meaningful way. He decides to sharpen his kukri and his falchion, settling down in the sand to do so while he waits to see what will happen next.

Still unable to hear Falco spins in a circle watching the meteors fall form the sky with a shudder. His normal spirit is clearly shaken by what is going on as he blinks and rubs his ears.
"What in all that all that is holy is going on." he yells before realizing just how loud he is talking.

Elyas looks around in a daze, still unable to hear. He sees several other petals speaking to each other, and realizes that not all of them are deaf. He tries to cast detect magic, but struggles to even cast a simple spell.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (22/22 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; Flat: 12; CMD: 18) | Glaive +4 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +2 1d4+1 x2| Status: None Tuesday January 16th, 2018 6:37:47 AM
Rolth will try to find a villager who can hear, to find out what they want. If they are all deaf, he will write in the sand and try to get them to do the same. All while being careful of the quicksand, of course.

Sable gestures to those that cannot hear and points towards the nearest meteor fall and grips his weapon. He then gestures forcefully towards the meteor and says to the others, “Let’s go that way.”
Co- Dm Matt and Shawn - Up in the sky Wednesday January 17th, 2018 12:27:24 AM
Those with no hearing are still trying to come to terms with it while the others are suggesting they move towards the meteors.
The ringing is slowly going away. ( Tommorows post is the last one with deafness.

Rolth, seeing that the villagers have been warned, agrees with Sable that it is time to move out toward the meteor impact. Once clear of the quicksand zone, he will suggest with words and hand motions that the party resume its normal outdoor marching order, rather than stay in a single file. As they move out, he will keep a sharp eye out for new events and threats (Perception = 18)

Kiwina, having passed along the wisdom of the aumakua and warned the villagers away, agrees with Sable’s direction and takes his place in the Petals’ marching order when it is safe to do so. As the party moves out, he will try to divine what the aumakua may know about meteors and what threats and opportunities ride them to the Wold. (Knowledge Nature = 23)

Watching Sable pantomime Falco nods vigorously and yells in return.
"Yes. a meteor fell over there!" and then gestures at the weapons being proffered. "You cannot fight a meteor, it just is!"
Sable must be rattled, thinking he can stab a rock.

Elyas still cannot hear, but surprises himself with how easily he falls into his place in the marching offer of his new crew. He practices with simple spells, waiting for his hearing to return

Sable will scan the horizon for threats (Perception 7) and use tracking to try and find the location of the skyfall (following debris towards the larger meteor) - Survival (10).

The group calls out a marching order and plans to head to the area where the meteor landed. The group moves out and it takes thebetter part of the day to gead there.
The air is dusty, the sky hazy with the sun glowing behind. You can taste the dust in your mouth. Though it irritates your eyes, but you can still see fine.
You make out more meteors whistling across the sky and landing in not too distant locations. Each lands with a solid *whumpf*
The party arrives at an area where the beach and grassland meet. You can see a small amount of red grass surrounding the crater.
You also observe animals that seem to be in pain, twisting and writhing on the ground. As you watch you see the animals mutate before your very eyes. Hair/fur/feathers fall off, blood covering the animals skin, frothing at the mouth, unnatural/distorted sounds from them, etc. This happens very quickly.

After the treck to the crater Falco's sense of dread has only grown. When they finally get close he is taken aback by what they find. He hears Gothruk's suggestion to keep this distance but he is just to curious to not get closer.
"Oh.... those poor animals. What... What would be doing this."
He moves closer to one of the animals trying to examine both it and the unusual red grass.

Tsak's hearing has returned, but his wold is far from normal. Instinctively he does not want to go near or touch the meteor. He agrees that taking a small amount of the grass and a dead animal may be useful, but how to do it without touching them either. Does anyone have a spare bag or sack we can use to carry a sample?

Rolth really doesn't want to get closer, but can't let Falco go alone, so he steps up behind Falco as the halfling collects samples, glaive ready to strike if an animal reanimates or other threat appears.

This entire experience has Finnian confused, frighted, and more confused. Normally he would be afraid of the transformations, but nothing seems to be phasing him anymore. He does try to figure out what in the Wold is going on, while also getting ready attack if they get vicious.

Sable doesnt get too close, but tries to examine the animals. Whatever is effecting them is unknown to him.
Gothruk wants to return to the village, perhaps with an animal.. live or dead.
Kiwina sees they are changing, but not into anything new.
Falco examines the animals from a distance, thed weed is unknown.
Tsak agrees they need a sample, and looks for an extra bag.
Rolth moves up with Falco.. keeping watch over his friend.
Finnian examines too.. but the weed is unknown.
A bit further up the beach an immense crab, covered in red weed and foaming at the mouth comes out of the sand. Huge pinchers click clack as it scitters towards Rolth and Falco. The creatureis bigger then any taur.

Assuming that he and Falco are not already in the creature's reach, he will move back to form a battle line with the front rank of the Petals and protect the squishies. He will ready an attack with his glaive if the thing comes within his reach. He recommends that Falco position himself behind the line, with Elyas and Finnian, where they can snipe with spell and bow. And of course he will look around for other threats too.

Sable readies an action to swing on the Mutant Crab if it comes in greatsword reach (10’ Reach). Seeing Finnian’s rather good shot, Sable switches off of power attack to improve his chance of hitting.

(Perception vs spoiler#1=13 SUCCESS; Perception vs spoiler#2=12 FAIL) I agree with Sable, so perhaps if we hold off we won't even have to fight it? Tsak readies his weapon in case the crab rushes them, but is reluctant to attack anything that already looks so sick and unhappy.

(Wild empathy=15) Tsak, noticing that the other petals seem to share his perspective on the crab and not hurting it if possible, decides he will try harder to understand the creature. He motions to the group to stay still and silent. Taking just a half step forward, Tsak project his feelings of peace and concern to the animal. He hopes that even in its weakened and distressed state it still has the perception to pick up on his emotion and gain a measure of calm.

Perception = 14, Perception = 23 Gothruk, trying not to distract Tsak turns and points to the left flank where a large mass of smaller crabs are congrigating. They could be a threat, there are at least a hundred, I don't think normal weapons would work very well against them.
I think if Tsak fails to calm this down we bid a retreat. The big crab is too big, and the small ones too numourous, perhaps they will distract each other?

{Perception: 6}
Falco starts to cast a spell at the larger crab but stops, noticing that the others have held their attacks.
"I can probably take care of the the little craps as well, or a lot of them. My spell, Color Spray, should at least incapacitate them long enough to kill them. I could stun and you could cook us dinner Elyas."
Still Falco makes sure there are some big bodies between him and the crabs.
"The big guy, will I can do some things with acid maybe."

The mutant crab is suddenly incensed by the presence of the Petals. The scent of the adventures sets off all sorts of unconscionable alarms. The crab moves ahead which frightens the swarm of crabs to your right. One hundred small crabs race ahead. (To avoid tripping and a distraction - (d20+Dex mod) beat a DC 14. A roll lower than 6 is prone and takes 1 dmg from the small crabs pinchers.) The mutant crab steps forward 20 feet toward Kiwina, leaving 10 feet in front. He ignores any pleas, the condition of the crab becomes clear as it gets closer. The pained creature is insane and sick. (d20+Int mod) vs DC: 3 Highlight to display spoiler: { The creature is stricken with Bloodgrass sickness. This unfortunately turns the poor creature into an Aberration + it’s hostile, making the Wild Empathy null } The smaller crabs swarm the larger crab causing it to become slightly distracted. The creature grabs at Kiwina with its giant claw (10 foot reach) but misses. The blood pouring from the poor creatures eyes. (Triple Giant Bloodgrass Mutated Coconut Crab - AC: 24 - HP: 14)

It's all just a bit much for Rolth, who rolls his eyes around looking for something that makes sense...but nothing does, not with this aberrant thing looming. (INT check for spoiler = 5, success) He starts to get frustrated, and it's just like those old monks on Bridge Island said, "Crabs lead to itching and itching leads to frustration. Frustration leads to raaaaagggge!" Well maybe that's not exactly what they said, but close enough, maybe I should have listened to the senior monks more carefully. Rolth isn't quite up to a full, frothy rage, but he's working towards it while trying to move around to flank this beast. Distracted by his anger, he slips on some seaweed and falls prone right into a patch of smaller crabs, who nibble him quite annoyingly...man is he going to be mad next round! (DEX check = 3, fail)

Kiwina starts to close the gap and stab at the crab with his short spear. (Rolls: dex = 12, int = 5) He stumbles instead, but at least does not land prone in the little crabs.

Gothruk calls out in response to Finnian's idea. That is inventive to try and use the quicksand against this crab but I've never seen crabs have trouble getting themselves out of sand before, even burying themselves in it. I doubt one of this size will have any trouble.
Elyas steps up between Sable and Gothruk, far enough back that he's not the first one in the oath of the insane crab, but close enough to cast a spell at it.
He then calls forth fire from his hands and turns it on the swarm of crabs and the larger creature.

(Rolls: CMB = 24, Fort = 20) Plucked from the ground by the crab, Kiwina flails at it with every attack he can muster, hoping that one of them is lucky enough to connect or that he somehow wriggles free.

Sable will stand and now be able to approach the crab for a swing, now using not using power attack in case he has to bypass the hard shell to get to the critical organs below. Unfortunately, his swing is massively off (8) and he misses the crab all together. He will await a chance at a second swing...

Gothruk moves 10ft towards the crab, amd tries to bring the injured crab down with his Guisarme. He fails to find purchase though and the attack is ineffective. He gives a solemn nod towards Rolth, not that he likely notices in his bezerker's rage, for delivering suck a good hit against a tough foe. Gothruk lines up a solid hit however, if this crab tries moving again it'll regret it.

Rolth heroically tears into the crab. Who knew… there was a soft spot under there. The great crab falls hard, as Sable falls with it. Sable hits the sand hard but there is something else wrong. He is suddenly sickened and struck with an insatiable itch.

From behind you a strange wood knocking. Then a treant stepped forward clapping his wooden hands together. “What a scene,” began the treant. “That was quite a fight to see. My name is Michael. Now before you say.. Michael, that’s not a name for a treant. I counter.. The Creator named me in ten minutes. It’s the first name he thought of..
