The Mansion is cast, but it is more like a Garden. Inside, the "walls" are dense stands of bamboo that you cannot force your way through. The greenery covers the ceiling. the baths are hot springs and cool pools. The furniture are soft giant toadstools, the tables are huge cut tree trunks and fallen logs. The beds are comfy piles of moss. The servants are all leprechauns! They are eager to serve, though they do tend to giggle and sometimes stop work for a drink or a dance.
The party members talk about the creatures you met here in the deeper, darker Culverwood. The fey you have encountered today are rarer ones, known for trickery and even cruelty sometimes. But that's how many fey are, especially dark fey, and you have been moving into the dark.
When you awaken, you do find that your shoelaces are all in tight knots, there are burrs in your clothes, and ... evidently mice have been in your gear, based on chew marks and little mouse droppings. The leprechauns are all gone, too. But otherwise, you spent a restful night.
Your plan for the day?

Following 'Osul's lead, the party heads out of the garden-mansion.
Outside, you see signs that small and medium two-legged creatures danced a circle into the forest floor in the night. The leaves and twigs are all smushed down, and you find seven dead frogs equally spaced around the circumference of the circle. There is no sign of whoever those dancers were.
On the far side of the circle, shadows deepen into the darkest pitch black that you have yet encountered.

Moridark feels sure that the deeper darkness past the fairy circle beckons the party on to an even deeper layer of the Culverwood. He casts a spell for flying.
His insight into this deeper darkness is in tune with Armand's intuition as well.
'Osul prepares by assuming his elemental form.
Trellus urges the party forward.
Elyngael and Brawn sense moss, mold, mushrooms, and ... darker scents.
Grindar finds no tracks per se. But the ground has been disturbed. By some mysterious force.
Past the circle, you make your way through the darkened area and get to what may be the heart of it. The roots thicken and rise; this is difficult terrain. The green plants are becoming rarer; black ones dominate. The canopy thickens and has no top -- it just goes on.
As the dark overruns the area. Itfs now considered total darkness -- not dim light any more. The plants slowly close in behind you, blocking the path you had followed. How do you navigate in the complete darkness?

Moridark casts dancing lights. The colored illuminations work as usual. This is a fine solution.
'Osul's darkvision also works well.
Grindar also has darkvision, so he's fine.
Armand's goggles of night, like natural darkvision, work fine.
Elyngael too.
But then Trellus takes out his Continual Light holy symbol. Immediately, the plants in the area, both on the ground as well as branches and vines in the trees, twist and move toward the bright white light, trying to cover it.

[OOC: I do not think you can speak common in an elemental form. Moot since Moridark can translate.]
'Osul communicates that the plants identify your enemies as the "Druids of Darkness," and indicate the way to go.
Elyngeal asks 'Osul to ask the plants how many there are. "They are not as many as there are trees," the answer comes back. [OOC: Honestly, not sure that trees really have a concept for numbers. What would they count?] But you learn that some trees are their servants.
The plants further tell 'Osul that the Dark Druids have the goal of spreading the Dark further into the daylit Culverwood, that they are mutating trees to do this, and that they seek to control the Culverwood with their spread.
The trees add that this deep in, few visit. Mostly fey, and lately, mostly dark fey, drawn to the shadows.
As you begin to travel as directed by the trees, the terrain remains difficult, the trees thick ... but you see more are twisted, and ooze black sap. These (when talked to) are glad that the darkness is spreading -- also, that they resent the presence of large amounts of metal in the party!
Important Note! The Speak with Plants spell lasts only minutes, and you have the strong sense that the trip will take hours, maybe days. Once you can no longer commune with the trees, you will surely, eventually, get lost in the dark. What's your plan to avoid that?

Vengeance of Root and Trunk Round 0 (DM Cayzle) 8d6=24 ; 3d6=5 ; Monday September 26th, 2022 9:06:30 PM
Note that travelling in these woods is difficult terrain, so, half speed. Note that the darkness makes that even more difficult, even for those with darkvision or other aid, such as dancing lights, so you are all moving at quarter speed overland. If everybody had woodland stride, I'd make that half speed, but unless you want to split up the party (a bad idea), it seems moot to the DM.
It is practically impossible to find your way through the dark dark woods. The standard DC for not losing your way in woods with poor visibility is a 20. When something is "practically impossible," add 20 to the DC. Thus, to navigate, you need to be able to see and you need to roll a 40 on a survival check. Per the rules, you need to make this check every hour.
For your first hour of movement, Elyngael is out of her depth, but Grindar is able to guide you.
As you wend your way through, picking around roots and trunks, you realize that the warnings the trees gave about carrying metal were NOT in jest. The trees sway, creak, and groan. In one dark dell, the woods collapse upon those wearing metal armor (including mithril).
Anyone in metal armor (Trellus, Grindar, Armand, Elyngael, I think?) must save vs collapse. You are all buried, without save. The DC15 reflex saving throw is to determine if you take 24 damage or 12. These people are all completely buried -- treat as pinned, with no way to take physical actions other than speech.
All other characters and companions, not wearing metal armor, please make DC15 Reflex saves as well. If you save, you are not buried and you take no damage. If you fail this save, you take 5 damage and are completely buried, like the others.
If you are wondering if you have "metal armor" ... well, if a druid can wear it, you are OK. If a druid cannot wear it, then you are in trouble!
As if this were not enough, you see odd ghostly shapes forming from the broken trunks that fell on you. They look like misty shadowy tree spirits. And they do not look friendly, although they are taking at least a round to form.
Please give me your saves and your actions for the first round.

Note: the tree spirits are forming from the very tree trunks that crashed down on you. Thus, they are forming basically next to you!
===== =====
ROUND ZERO:
The ENEMY: Trees fall, and spirits start to rise from the fallen trunks.
Armand activates his (hands-free) supernatural power, Divine Presence. He thinks about creating a Ward Against Death, but that will have to wait for the next round.
Elyngael calls to Brawn, who starts trying to drag trunks and branches off.
Trellus is trapped for the moment, at least.
Grindar calls to Cotton for help.
'Osul fails to act.
Moridark casts summon monster 4 to call a helper to lift the trunks. The summons will arrive in Round 1.
===== =====
TOP OF ROUND ONE:
The ENEMY: There is one tree spirit for each character in metal armor. That's Trellus, Grindar, Armand, and Elyngael. Each of them is buried and prone, and cannot use their dex or dodge bonuses to AC. The spirits are incorporeal, so most armor (except ghost touch armor) and natural AC bonuses also do not apply.
The spirits look something like medium-size ghostly treants.
Trellus's spirit hits touch AC31, a crit threat! Follows up with a confirm vs touch AC24. That's 7 str damage, or 8 if the crit confirms.
Grindar's spirit hits touch AC24 for 5 str damage [NOT! see below]
Armand's spirit hits touch AC20 for 6 str damage
Elyngael's spirit hits touch AC18 for 8 str damage [NOT! see below]
BUT WAIT! What about Armand's Divine Presence? Well, the saves rolled by the spirits were 25, 13, 25, and 12. So in fact, Trellus and Armand are hit, but NOT Grindar and Elyngael! Note to G and E -- per Sanctuary, if you attack, you lose your protection.
A buried person can make verbal and mental only actions, and use a full round action to bust out, as a DC25 str check. They cannot shift mass to get out.
Each buried person has 2,000 lbs of trunks, branches, and wood holding them down. That mass has to be shifted before they are free. Starting in Round One, each round, a non-buried helper can shift half your max str carrying load from a buried person. For example, in Round One, Brawn, a large quadruped with Str26, has a max carrying capacity of 2760 lbs, and so can shift half that (1,380 lbs) in a round. Acting alone, it will take Brawn two rounds to free his mistress. Shifting mass is a full round action that requires no rolls.
Also as a note for Moridark looking ahead ... regardless of your intention, you in fact summon a huge fire elemental to help you. It will act as you desire, but it IS a fire elemental.
Actions for the bottom of Round One, please!

BOTTOM OF ROUND ONE:
Armand, still buried, activates another domain power, cleverly choosing options that do not require the use of hands to trigger.
[OOC to Armand: I think you running a little ahead. In Round Zero you activated your first domain power. In Round One you activated your second. You can decide your action for Round Three in your next post.]
Buried Trellus strains to break free, but to no avail.
Guiding his animal pal, Grindar directs Brawn to remove half the piled wood covering him. Another round will do the job.
Similarly, Brawn helps Elyngael to get rid of half the wood covering her. Another round will get the job done.
A Fire Elemental appears, and Moridark threatens the trees with fire! [OOC: I assume you are just RPing here. If you want to really make your threats count, you would have to take at least a round and make an intimidate check.]
Then he calls another monster. Next round, a Nymph will appear.

TOP OF ROUND TWO
The ENEMY groans, like unto the sound of a log splitting under great pressure. But only two of the four attack.
Those two tree-spirits continue to attack the PCs who are wearing metal armor. The other two remain affected by the sanctuary effect.
Trellus's spirit hits touch AC21 for 4 str damage - BUT Armand's ward seems to have an effect, reducing damage to 2.

Grindar yet again fails to break free, but Cotton finishes the job she started, and Grindar is finally out of the debris. He looks around, and tries to decipher where his friends are. He sees that Brawn is digging, and can only assume he is working at getting Elyngeal out. He realizes that Trellus and Armand are both unaccounted for and tries to pinpoint their locations. He makes no hostile actions towards the tree spirits, but he does ask, "Does anyone know if these things are undead or not?

1 - I was going to ask if the WARDD'S BLESSING (Fate Item tattoo) would work to delay the strength loss, but the write up seems to indicate a saving throw is involved and we're not getting those. If so then I was going to ask if we could retroactively use a pip for the first strength loss and use another pip for this strength loss.
2 - Armand made a knowledge religion roll of 33 on Wednesday to try and identify the spirit creatures to see if they were some form of undead, you never addressed that.
3 - Trellus, you can channel to heal or channel to harm undead, you can't do both at the same time.

Vengeance of Root and Trunk Round Two really, with just info (DM Cayzle) Saturday October 1st, 2022 10:27:49 AM
Sorry for the confusion. It comes from the enemy acting first.
The battle started with a Round Zero ... Top of R0: The trees crashed down Bottom of R0: You all acted. Armand's Sanctuary ability came on. Moridark starts summoning the fire elemental. I did not allow attempts to unbury because the trees crashed down in this round.
Round One ... Top of R1: The enemy attacked Trellus and Armand for Str damage. Bottom of R1: You acted. Armand's Death Ward came on. Fire Elemental appears. Moridark starts summoning a nymph. Brawn and Cotton start digging their masters out.
Round Two ... Top of R2: The enemy attacked Trellus and Armand for more Str damage. Bottom of R2 -- still in progress: Brawn and Cotton will finish digging out Grindar and Elyngael, who will be able to act normally (though prone) if they delay* their action until after they are dug out. Trellus is thinking about channelling energy, but can repost a new action if desired (see below). Others are pondering what to do.
Other Topics:
To Trellus: Note that channeling energy requires that "a cleric must be able to present her holy symbol to use this ability." You would have to convince me that you can do that while buried ... I'm inclined to say no.
To Armand: Using a pip off your Ward's Blessing is a great idea. But yeah, it only works if there is a save involved, and the four people buried got no save. Also, it delays the onset of a condition, and strength damage, like hit point damage, is not a condition. Sorry.
To those wondering about the nature of these enemy beings. Are they undead? These spirits are to undead as plants are to humans. They are a unique thing created for this adventure, and they are similar to but not the same as undead. I allowed the Death Ward to halve the Str damage because that seems reasonable, but we're in uncharted, off the books terrain here, my friends. Hope that helps. I guess my advice would be ... try stuff, maybe it will work? Certainly they are hostile, for sure. And I am ruling that you can attack the attacking spirits without breaking the sanctuary ... but the sanctuary breaks if you attack the two who are not fighting. Does that sound reasonable? Kind of like Calm Emotions, I guess, seems to me.
So let's finish Round 2, with consideration for everything above. Post or repost your actions, change what you have already posted if you like, ask questions, make checks, have fun!
===== ===== ===== *Footnote: I say "delay" because in a face-to-face game you would delay your action until after your companion has acted. In the Wold, with minimal initiative (basically enemies and heroes taking turns as groups), the "delay" action is kind of meaningless, and I use it here to simply say that in your post for R2, you can just say, "After my animal pal digs me up, I stand from prone (move action) and cast a spell." Or whatever, but keep in mind that if you attack, the sanctuary breaks.

Round Zero ... Top of R0: The trees crashed down Bottom of R0: You all acted. Armand's Sanctuary ability came on. Moridark starts summoning the fire elemental. I did not allow attempts to unbury because the trees crashed down in this round.
Round One ... Top of R1: The enemy attacked Trellus and Armand for Str damage. Bottom of R1: You acted. Armand's Death Ward came on. Fire Elemental appears. Moridark starts summoning a nymph. Brawn and Cotton start digging their masters out.
Round Two ... Top of R2: The enemy attacked Trellus and Armand for more Str damage. Bottom of R2 --
Brawn and Cotton will finish digging out Grindar and Elyngael, who are still prone.
Cotton's action for the round was digging out Grindar. Grindar's action is to stand from prone, take a five ft step over, and start to dig out Armand. He is able to shift 350 lbs of the 2,000 lbs of trunks and wood off his friend as a move action.
Armand studies these spirits and deduces that they are similar to undead but not exactly. Tree ghosts are unique to the deepest parts of magical forests, maybe, and no one has dealt with their like before. All bets are off, he tells his friends. But Armand's continuing Sanctuary and Ward effects are clearly helping.
Brawn digs out Elyngael, and then she stands up from prone. She looks around, using her darkvision, or the two Dancing Lights cantrips that have been cast. It is easy to see everyone in the party. Armand and Trellus are still buried, but Grindar has started digging out Armand. Elyngael sees the four tree spirits; two continue to attack Trellus and Armand, two are flying around, stymied by the Sanctuary. They are ghostly, and incorporeal.
'Osul changes into his mortal form and makes suggestions on how to fight. Then he changes into a Huge Earth Elemental, readying to dive in after any buried friends. He moves over and plans to dig out Trellus next round. [OOC: Hours have passed; those spells have expired.]
Trellus struggles uselessly against the press of the trees.
Moridark instructs the nymph to help free his friends and then tries to intimidate the spirits. Your roll was poor to do so, and even if I gave you an arbitrary +10 with the fire elemental, it would not suffice. The spirits ignore Moridark and the fire elemental, focused as they are on those who dare bring worked metal into the Deep Culverwood.
The Dryad answers Moridark: "I am too weak to move trunks, and I can shape but a pound at a time. But let me try to reason with one of these spirits." She speaks to the one attacking Armand in the language of plants. It answers her, and she says, "If this one (pointing to Armand) agrees to get rid of his armor, this spirit will relent."
That ends Round Two.
Top of Round Three:
Two spirits are affected by the Sanctuary, and will remain so if Armand, Grindar, and Elyngael take no offensive actions. Everyone else can attack freely, in case that was not clear.
The spirit that had been attacking Armand awaits his answer, and does not attack this round.
The fourth spirit attacks Trellus. It hits touch AC29 for 1 point of Str damage.

Until then, Trellus is still stuck.
Armand agrees to remove his armor. He is free now. Does he remove his armor?
Elyngael is ready to fight if a spirit comes near.
Moridark waits to see what happens. His summoned friends hold, too.
'Osul acts to free Trellus. As a huge elemental, with Str 21, he moves 1,840 of 2,000 lbs. Trellus is almost free.
Elyngael cleverly realizes that the best way to "get rid of" metal suits of armor is to store them in extradimensional shapes.
Top of R4:
Two enemy spirits are held back the Sanctuary. Another is waiting to see Armand get rid of his armor. A fourth attacks Trellus, hitting touch AC27 for another 3 Str damage.
Now it is time for the party to act in the Bottom of Round Four.

'Osul tries to restore Trellus with a Heal. He moves to interpose himself between Trellus and the spirit, hopefully aiding his defence, if not blocking the spirit entirely. Maybe even the Heal itself provides it pause for thought.

Bottom of R5:
Moridark orders the fire elemental to stand between Trellus and the spirit in an attempt to provide cover. It does so, using the Aid Another action to give Trellus a +2 AC bonus.
Moridark asks the nymph to try and intercede again on the party's behalf. She looks at the tree spirit sternly.
After that, she turns to you and says, "These spirits cannot move away from their fallen trunks. Why don't you just run away?
Armand uses diplomacy to try to reach a resolution.
'Osul tries to restore Trellus with a Heal. That immediately restores all his lost Strength!
He and the Fire Elemental try to interpose to provide cover, but it is hard for that to work when the incorporeal spirit can fly underground and then reach up to attack from underneath.
Elyngael starts to pause in removing her armor. The spirits immediately grow angry. The DM assumes she resumes doffing her armor since Trellus was dug out last round.
Grindar offers to help Trellus remove his armor.
Trellus can act, and can post two rounds of actions in his next turn.

Trellus feels various hands helping him out of the treefall, and is very happy indeed to be Healed.
He glares at the spirit and considers his options. Everyone else is already doffing armor. "Because," he answers the nymph with disgust. "It's dark, we can't weave far or fast, and the next group will just drop more trees on us."

As the Forest Pre-Primeval descends into silence, stillness, and darkness again, you may offer a sigh of relief at the break.
There is quite some grumbling about the armor, but the trees are happy about it, at least.

Elyngael bravely offers to scout ahead.
'Osul wishes to know more, but really, all you can see now is that the trees open up ahead, and you know that because when you look up, you see that the tree coverage ends ... and it has been a constant cover so far. You cannot actually see the clearing itself, only the gap in the coverage up ahead.
