DM Hugh - The Meadow Room - 1 Monday July 8th, 2024 2:39:49 AM The Twins say it was possible they were supposed to build a key from shrooms and suggest rushing forward was a mistake. Cyrion looks at the shroom, the splinter and the skeletal key and then sits and tries to garner any information from the three items as to where the fourth might be. Elron tells folks not to worry about missing a key and that they should get the others and see how far they get. Asimov suggests using the skeleton key to open the door, grabbing the gear and headed towards the next woom. Zeoll looks over the loot with satisfaction and says they should keep it all as he agrees it is time to move on. Mundhi asks to hold on to the amulet as she stows the rest of the loot unless anyone wants to hold onto any item themselves. She also thinks it is time to move on.
Mundhi Highlight to display spoiler: { As you put the amulet on you must make a DC 15 Will save or become selfishly possessive of it (think like Gollum with the One Ring in Lord of the Rings) }
The splinter points between the skeleton key and the door near where the skeletons formed / alcove.
With the splinter indicating that the skeleton key opens the door and the party having the loot stowed it is time to move on and you proceed through the door.which you pass through and find yourselves in a hilly meadow filled with light-flowers, like sunflowers, in all the colors of the rainbow. A deep wide chasm, 50 feet wide, sunders the meadow. The exit is on the other side of the chasm. The meadow goes on forever, seemingly

Elron looks at the light-flowers and listens to their song, then gives himself to the task of getting across the chasm. His rope of climbing should be able to make it if there's something to tie off to. Otherwise, he's sure Mundhi could throw him -- but not until they're desperate for solutions.

The very tall woman has found a good place to attach the amulet, and admires it a moment. She wonders why no one else spoke up for it. [Will save made, though: 22]
Having a strong affinity for music, Mundhildur agrees with Zeoll [Perception: 25]. "Yes, yes! The flowers are singing!" She shrinks down in size that her ears might be closer to the flowers, the better to hear them.
Asimov bends down with his ear to one of the flowers to hear more. Anything he learns he shares with the party.
DM Hugh - The Meadow Room - 2 Tuesday July 9th, 2024 1:06:48 AM The Twins take a look around as each room they had passed through so far required combat though not immediately. They point out the flowers are singing. Cyrion is captivated by the colors of the flowers and remarks he didn’t know they came in all these colors. Zeoll points out the flowers are singing Elron looks at the flowers and attempts to listen to their song before giving himself the task of getting across the chasm. He figures his rope of climbing should do the trick unless there’s something off about the chasm. He thinks Mundhi could throw him but not until they’re desperate for solutions. Mundhi found a good place to attach her new amulet. She agrees with Zeoll that the flowers are singing and shrinks down so that her ear is closer to the flowers and better to hear them. Asimov bends down to also listen to the flowers’ song.
The flowers keep singing this line over and over at different cadences so that when combined it just sounds like a hum Come now witch now honor rich now Witching near now kneel and dear vow Come to pray now so they may bow Bring the witch and bring the witch and bring the witch … Now.
Each flower faces straight up to the dark black sky, projecting a spray of colored light upwards.

She asks if anyone can figure this out and puzzles the inventions being sung by the flowers, looking upwards for a moment. Zeoll suggests the flowers rhyme could be a pun as which can mean or or more specifically in this case ore or metal so he decides to try that. As he puts his copper, silver, gold and iron amongst the multicolored flowers he brushes some stalks here or there causing the light projected by individual flowers to change trajectory and intersect with that of other flowers causing sparks to appear where the light beams intersect. The Twins advance cautiously to the chasm separating the two fields and examines it. He decides if some witch is going to fly out and attack it be best to spot it before hand. Cyrion snaps out of his reverie and realizes his friends are saying the flowers are singing. He asks if it is normal for everything they encounter to be either singing, dancing or trying to kill them. He says he doesn’t think he’s ever encountered all three happenings in such a short time.

OOC: Do they repulse each other, or do they repulse US? Is the repulsion physical, like the same poles of magnets repelling, or emotional, like the feeling one has when confronted with calumny visited upon innocents?
DM Hugh - The Meadow Room - 4 Thursday July 11th, 2024 1:07:02 AM The Twins continue to look at the chasm trying to find interesting features. It appears bottomless. Cyrion though unsettled by the singing apologizes and pulls out the splinter concentrating on it. Similar to what happened in the bat cave the splinter starts by pointing to a nearby flower seemingly at random for a fairly long period of time. Then it purposely points to in order a red flower, an orange flower, a yellow flower, a green flower, a blue flower, an indigo flower and lastly a violet flower. It then points to the chasm and presumably whatever is on the other side. The rainbow flowers and chasm pointing are all on a shorter cadence than the original flower. Elron sees the sparks from Zeoll’s activity and carefully tilts two flowers so that their light intersects and watches the interaction to see what is going on. Where the flowers’ lights intersect there is sparking like previously observed by Zeoll’s inadvertent brushing. Also the repulsion effect appears stronger with the addition of the second flowers. Zeoll shows everyone how the flowers repulse or push back on the party members like magnets of the same pole types Asimov adds a third flower to Elron’s experiment and the sparking and repulsion effects seem to grow even stronger

I wonder if the fact that the splinter pointed to a flower first means that a flower is the key here?

DM Hugh - The Meadow Room - 5 Friday July 12th, 2024 5:15:09 AM Munhi asks if the flowers want them to make a rainbow bridge and suggests they give it a try. She takes a yellow and a green flower and points them across the chasm. She suggests folks add more colors to hers and they can see what happens. The Twins add 4 more flowers to the mix Elron asks if they are supposed to push themselves across the chasm by way of flower or make a rainbow bridge. He still prefers his rope. He sees what his friends are up to and helps. Cyrion examines the flower the splinter pointed at and mentions they’ve had to climb and cross several times now and suggests they are being lead someplace that he hopes has food and drink and a place where he can smoke his pipe without having to worry about catching something on fire Zeoll thinks everyone has good ideas Asimov suggests that since the splinter pointed to a mushroom first in the bat room and the skeles in the room with the skeleton key that perhaps the splinter means that a flower is the key here. He takes one of the mushroom from the packs and touches it to the flower that Cyrion was examining.
As Asimov touches the mushroom to the flower it disappears and the flower turns to glass also the light the glass looking flower sheds is black and white where it used to be the color of the flower. When the mushroom is removed from the flower it turns visible and the flower turns back to being a flower and shedding light the same color as the flower.
Asimov : Highlight to display spoiler: { your mushroom is starting to get a little softer than it was}
As Mundhi, The Twins and Elron experiment with the flowers they don’t really notice anything at first when they make the rainbow beams run parallel to each other, however when all 7 of the beams overlap and co mingle the sparking stops and a solid ish path starts to form

Mundhildur had not uprooted her flowers, but rather just aimed them in a parallel direction.
"Why can we not simply find some flowers near the edge, aim them so as to co-mingle, and not uproot them?" she asks the others. "We may need to find several, some slightly farther back, some nearer the edge. We need to make sure we don't block each other. Now, another way might be using mirrors. I have two. By using a couple of mirrors, plus direct light from some of the colors, we might be able to get a good full crossover stream going. What do you say?" she asks.
She gets out her two mirrors. Whoever wants to use one can borrow from her. She will continue her use of still-rooted flowers. If she can handle two or more per hand, that will give 4 colors to the stream.

Asimov looks through his utility belt to see if any of the components he has to make devices with are reflective like a mirror. Anything he finds he contributes to the cause of trying to make an overlapping rainbow bridge of flower light to traverse the cavern.
He says, "Don't we also need to take one of these flowers with us to act as a key? Not only did the splinter point to a flower before suggesting how to solve the chasm but the flower reacted to the mushroom which is the key from the first room. I guess not only does the splinter possibly point to a key but possibly the keys react to each other. Also maybe the mushroom isn't as firm as it was when I plucked it. I wonder if we can find some way to preserve it and the flower going forward if both are keys?"

He points out that not only does the splinter point to the key but the keys react to each other. He also points out that the mushroom appears to be degrading a little and wonders if the mushrooms and flowers are so fragile if something in the future might help them preserve those keys

The rope around his waist grows taut, cutting into his skin as his friends vanish. Elron stumbles backward, his feet skidding over the soft ground of the flower field as he feels an irresistible force pulling him toward the tiny portal of light -- smaller than Elron by far. Wildflowers, trampled and crushed underfoot, release a sweet, heady fragrance that mingles with the scent of magic in the air.
The portal pulses with a hypnotic, iridescent light, its surface rippling like a disturbed pond. Elron’s heart pounds in his chest, a mix of fear and exhilaration coursing through his veins. The surrounding landscape blurs, the vivid colors of the blossoms blending into a whirlwind of hues as he is dragged closer to the portal.
He casts a desperate glance over his shoulder, the familiar world growing distant with every passing second. The rope strains and creaks, the only thing tethering him to his friends who had already crossed over.
As he nears the portal, the air around him crackles with energy, tiny sparks dancing along the rope. His fingertips brush the edges of the vortex, sending a jolt of warmth up his arm. The portal’s light intensifies, swallowing the field of flowers in a blinding radiance. With a final tug, Elron is pulled through the gateway, the world behind him disappearing into a brilliant, otherworldly glow. He tumbles into the unknown, the rope now a lifeline connecting him to his friends in this strange new realm.

Zeoll, bringing up the rear, is the last to go through. But go through he does, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Ah, so great a grouping of beautiful lights!" exults Mundhildur. "Swirls and circles and blossoms and branches!"
She does try to get her bearings within the kaleidoscope. Really, though, she has never seen a kaleidoscope.
