Thursday April 3rd, 2025 5:07:29 PM
Ardus quickly scans the clearing and prepares Toll The Dead on Vine 8 (if it has taken damage, otherwise Vine 5). He then prepares himself to assist his comrades.

-----------
Toll the Dead on Vine 8 (or 5 if Vine 8 has not taken damage): DC 15 Wisdom save or take 16 damage (2d12).
Reaction: When one of the vines targets an ally with an attack (prioritizing allies with lower HP or lower AC) - Improved Warding Flare (attacker has disadvantage, ally gets 11 temporary hp (2d6+4)).

Myrrh (JPW) -- AC 17 -- PP 17 -- HP 39/39 d20=6 ; d20=15 ; d20+7=24 ; d10+13=20 ; d20+7=11 ; d8+4=6 ;

Everything is NOT vine!

Myrrh not sure of what's nature and what's vine,

In order:

Bonus Unarmed Strike: Attack roll of 11. If it hits, deal 6 points of Fire damage on Vine #2.

Action:
1. Make another DC12 strength check: Result - 15. Myrrh frees herself from the entanglement.

2. Attack #2 with 10' reach hits with a 24. Myrrh's damage type is Fire, dealing 24 points of fire to #2.

Reaction 1: If attacked and to hit < 18, move 5 feet backward, putting distance between herself and the vines.
Reaction 2: If attacked and takes damage, and its damage includes Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, Myrrh takes a Reaction to reduce the attack’s total damage against herself. The reduction equals 1d10 + 7 + 6 = 20 points of reduced damage.

=======
Strength Save: - 6 result: restrained

Kaze (JonS) -- AC 18 -- PP 15 -- HP 55/51 Kaze STR check: d20+4=15 ; Attack 1: d20+6=21 ; Attack 2: d20+6=13 ; Attack 1 Damage: d6+3=9 ; Attack 2 Damage: d6+3=8 ; Hunter's Mark Damage from both attacks: 2d6=10 ; Nature check: d20+1=6 ; Sister's Attack: d20+6=23, damage is: d4+5=6
Thursday April 3rd, 2025 11:16:29 PM
So Kaze isn't happy, he and his friends are being assaulted by plants ... which are not friendly ... and that he hasn't seen before. The one he attacked before he catches with two blows, dealing a total of 27 damage.

Sister then does a flyby attack ... slashing at the vine for another 6 damage (5' reach)

Einar (StevenVdB) -- AC 18 -- PP 13 -- HP 70/70 d20+5=20 ; d20+5=21 ; d20+7=23 ; 2d6+9=15 ; 2d6+9=12 ; d20+7=20 ; 2d6+9=18 ;

(STR check vs restrained 20)

Einar is surprised to see the Vines still standing around him! One even connects a hit!!
Then again they try to restrain him (STR check 21) but once again Einar manages to stay free to move.

"My turn...", the raging barbarian hisses...

Maul reckless attack hits Vine 6 AC23 damage 15+3 (last 2d6+9 needs to be 2d6)
Maul hits Vine 1 AC20 damage 18

"NOW STAY DOWN...

He then moves 20ft South.
Rage still active.

Yofiel is strong enough to pull free of the grasping roots (DM see roll in hidden post of 15 save vs DC 12). She loves how her gauntlets impart tremendous strength to her whole body, including her hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and feet. She moves about 10' away.

Oh -- and arms and back. She looses an arrow to strike vine blight #7 hitting AC 19 for 7 points of piercing damage. "Hello shy one. Where do you live?"

Ezekiel frees himself from the vegetation creeping around his legs and then turns to an element he feels more comfortable with, casting shocking grasp on Vine 2.

Vines twist around Malric’s legs holding him in place for a moment, before he teleports away, Vine 2 and 8 both taking the full force of psychic damage. He then shoots two blasts of eldritch power in their direction. Vine 2 is killed by the blast. Vine 8 is slammed back into the tree behind it.

(OOC: Please include DCs when posting an action, spell, or anything else that requires a saving throw.)

Ardus casts Toll the Dead on Vine 8, which fails its saving throw, taking the full brunt of the damage.

Initially restrained by the vines, Myrrh manages to free herself. Vine 2 is dead, but she can move forward and deliver a crushing, burning blow to Vine 8, killing it.

(OOC: Just to clarify, if you need to use your action to do something (like free yourself from a grapple), you cannot take either of your attacks. However, Myrrh can still make an attack this round by using a ki point to make a Flurry of Blows attack. Also, please keep a running total of resources used, like ki points or spell slots in your posts.

Kaze frees himself from the vines twisting around his legs and then he and Sister handily finish off the vine he is facing down.

Einar in the depths of his rage lashes out at the two vines around him, easily dispatching them both.

Yofiel rips free of the vines around her and shoots at Vine 7.

The last vine, wounded and witnessing its comrades being handily dispatched by the group of heroes darts away into the banyan tree grove.

Perception DC 20 for any character who wishes to pursue it to see where it disappeared among the twisting vines.

"I've never trusted plants, always sneaking up on you when least expected. Give me stone any day" Ardus mutters at the retreating vine. Ardus casts guidance on himself as he attempts to track the retreating vine, but he can't quite keep pace with it. After this he checks with the party to see if anyone is in need of assistance.

"That was the shy one," notes Yofiel of the retreating human-like vine creature. "It took my arrow along with it."

Looking around, she notes a few are injured to some degree. "Who needs some healing?" she asks.

Once injuries are attended to, she will take a few minutes to examine one of their fallen veggie-opponents, to understand its plant anatomy.

As the last of the vines slips away Ardus has a good bead on the direction it headed off in, but no one seems that concerned about chasing after the thing. Really, it feels highly unlikely that leaving it will create a future problem for the party or anyone else. The party considers healing, excepting Einar, who continues to bonk away at the plant life, not really noticing that he is bleeding.

In a positive turn of events, the brief and brutal battle has managed to nicely clear out a decent size space of undergrowth between the banyan trees. The area, now with the vines gone, is a good place to catch your breath after the difficult climb and the very unexpected attack by the local flora.

Ezekiel (BrianW), Male Human Sorcerer -- AC 18 -- PP 9 -- HP 56/56 d20+3=12 ;

"Ardus, it looks like Einar and Kaze both suffered fairly light wounds. Let me calm Einar down, and heal him up, and can you help out Kaze?" Yofiel asks.

She does so. "Einar, Einar. It's done. Quiet down. They are all dead or fled. Here, let me help. Looks like one nipped you a bit." Once he settles down somewhat, her cure light wounds spell heals 12 points of damage, well in excess of the 6 he took.

"I think it unlikely the viny humanoids have any sort of treasure, but, who knows? They may have attacked other poor travelers who decided to climb that steep hill. Let's take a moment to look about, but if we find nothing with a few minutes of looking, let us continue our journey." Before attempting any tracking, first Yofiel marks the path and heading they were on so they can continue in the ENE line they had set, then suggests, "Any who wish to help track where they may come from, or whether they or possible victims left anything behind, let's take maybe ten to fifteen minutes." She looks about, taking more care this time than when the last blighter left.

Slowly Yofiel’s voice calms Einar down... only then he notices a stinging pain... but the wound quickly closes thanks to Yfiel’s healing powers.

"... good... ”... oh well... Einar could probably have said something more like ’thank you’ or basically anything better than just ’good’ but he means well.

Malric looked around at the destruction they caused… no that the vines caused. They were just defending themselves. In particular he saw a few blackened scorch marks that had a green tint to them. It still amazed him to see the powers gifted to him. Hopefully his new companions saw him as more than just a minstrel now. While that is his passion, the power he had and desired to increase allowed him to protect himself and others… gone were the days of helplessly standing by as people he cared about were hurt.

"That was invigorating! What's next?!" asks Myrrh as she takes a few deep breaths. "Are we camping for the evening?" wonders Myrrh aloud to the group.

Monday April 7th, 2025 9:47:41 PM
Kaze groans as Ardus heals him. "Thank you friend, that feels a lot better. So, we taking a breather, staying the night, following the vine critter, or, hmmmm, not sure what else we could do since I've never been up here before."

Yofiel (Kim McCoy), female elf bard 6th - AC 13 - PP 13 - HP 39/39

"No!" responds Yofiel when people ask if this is where we will stop for the night. "There is still a fair bit of day left. Let us march on, make progress. Also, when we go down the other side of the hill, I am fairly certain that rolling down the hill will be much faster than climbing up," she jests. "We rested up at lunch already. Are we in need of another rest again?" she asks. If people think so, she says, "Well, that will give me a few more minutes to see if we're missing anything those fellows left behind."

If the party chooses to have a short rest, the elf will shrug her shoulders, and let them do so. She is not tired herself. After the rest, she uses the reference markings she made earlier, and says, "Onward, this way!" maintaining the East NE direction, pulling a travois behind her.

The party patches up the wounded once Einar gets calmed down and discuss using the nice clearing they made as a resting spot. The clearing has some shelter provided by the banyan trees but Yofiel points out that there is still too much time left in the day to call it quits quite yet.

{ooc: You have enough time during this to count as a short rest.}

Examining the area Myrrh proves to have very sharp eyes. She finds the places the Vine Blights were lying in wait and quickly notices that many of the plants in those areas are wilting somewhat and the ground is a darker color than in other places. The party trails the Vine Blight's path for a bit, but the rain and nature of the creature make tracking extremely difficult. You think you are on the right path, but also know that it could go to ground and be practically undetectable.

They do not come across other victims, which is unsurprising in a place as remote as this, though it would be a fair guess that the blights normally feed on local wildlife and not sentient species. After ten minutes or so they have not found the creature and would safely assume it has gone to ground or run off.

As you travel, the rain eases off a bit and by nightfall it is only a drizzle. It seems there is a minor reprieve from the heavy rains of the day. That said the party is still drenched by the end of the day and the drizzle is too much to provide relief from your overall condition. The jungle is thick and the underbrush overgrown, though it lessens slightly around some of the steep hills.

SURVIVAL DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { you see a natural overhang from a rock formation. Not a proper cave, it effectively protects against at least some of the rain. }

SURVIVAL DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { the overhang would be well-suited to set up a lean-to, which would keep most of the rain off of you. SURVIVAL DC 10 to fashion an effective lean-to.}

"Say - look over there, off to the left. There's an overhang on that rock. We could make a lean-to, you know, where we find or cut off some long branches, or short trees, and, you know, do something with them, and put things on them." She lays down her travois, and sits on the chest which lies upon it. "I'm sorry, I've gotta sit for a bit. Pulling this travois, and all, and this rain, I think I would just like to sit down and feel sorry for myself. I reserve the right to do so once a year. Maybe someone else can fashion a lean-to. Big leafy branches over the leaning poles."

If someone else will take the lead (rolled great to find the spot, but poorly on the fashioning side), after her annual five-minute pity party, she will get up and follow another's suggestions. She can at least cut long poles with her hand axe to assist.

[Now that she has pointed out the spot and briefly explained how to make a lean-to, someone else might be able to make a SURVIVAL DC 10 to fashion an effective lean-to.]

"That overhang will make an excellent spot for us to get out of the rain...at least a little." Falkwyn nods, seeing the spot that the red-headed bard is pointing to and heading over to inspect it himself. "Definitely will work. Ok, people, who can offer some muscle here? It's been a while since I last did something like this. First, we'll need some poles cut..." The druid trails off, doing his best to guide others to best assist him in constructing the temporary structure.

Malric completely missed the potential safety of the overhang, but once the others pointed it out, he was more than willing to help setup camp. Not ready to embarrass himself with the labor intensive physical tasks, he uses his mage hand to help out, helps to tie off knots, and tells stories and funny anecdotes to help pass the time.

"... eurhm... you know... just do something with something and put something on the something... nah... gonna need more clues than this lass... plain simple... what do you need?

The elf appreciates Falkwyn's provision of direction on the task of setting up shelter, and helps to carry out what he says.

"Thank you, Kaze," Yofiel says to the liontaur when he offers to pull the travois.

Yofiel pitches in by cutting the poles. "We can use some of the leaves from broad-leafed trees like palms, or other large-leaf plants, or canvas. I think leaves will be more fun," Yofiel opines. She finishes about 20 poles of adequate length, and gathers some leaves - but not do all that work herself. "You're tall, Myrrh. You can put the top ones on. You, too, Kaze." She nods at Malric as she sees him use mage hand. "You and Ebenezer are handy with that spell."

A few more slender poles, more like sticks, can be woven crossways. She shows Einar how to do that. "Sorry for my earlier vagueness, friend, but I claim the once annual self-pity excuse and momentary exhaustion, or something-something." She uses little sticks and ropes to help affix the slender branches. Then the tallish elf puts bells on horizontal string raised slightly by little sticks or nearby plant growth in a perimeter around their spot, so any animals or others that try to cross the string without seeing it will make at least one or two bells ring.

Yofi plays her bandore within the shelter they have made, while snacking on rations, drinking water, and a few sips of wine. "Quite a day, right, friends?"

"Oh, no, Ezekiel! I referred to you as Ebenezer. I am so, so sorry. You are confused often enough as it is, and now it's rubbing off on me!" says Yofiel. "In fact, you are quite good at Mage Hand, Ezekiel - surely equal to if not better than this mythical Ebenezer."

The wet and weary adventures get to the end of the day and Yofiel notices a good spot to set up camp. And as a group project they manage to fashion a functional lean-to that will provide enough shelter for them to sleep in, well not so much comfort as less uncomfort.

Kaze feels bad for Yofiel having to drag the travois and moves to take her burden but is a little surprised by its weight. He looks at the less bulky elf and realizes that she is quite a bit stronger than he is though his mass does make the actual pulling easier. With some discussion a temporary camp is set up and a bit of respite from the rain is enjoyed by all. There is some various conversation and, when the group is ready, the night will pass uneventfully.

When the party is ready to get underway in the morning he will attempt to help navigate and will keep an eye out for any unruly vegetation (and interesting insect life).

Malric sleeps through the night with few interruptions. In the morning, he will try helping whomever is starting the fire, but instead of actually helping, just ends up throwing wet moss onto it and smothering the newly started flame, causing them to start all over. Unable to even remotely help fix his mistake, he instead just plays his instruments and dances around, using the natural rock formation as an amphitheater.

Myrrh will take the 3rd watch, not feeling like she could help set up camp; it's almost like she forgot how! On the other hand, she will watch the surrounding areas for any sign of threats to the group/camp to know which area to pay attention to during her watch.

In the meantime, Myrrh will meditate like she learned from the other monks.

Overnight, Falkwyn takes his turn on Watch with Einar, and not being a deep sleeper...most elves meditate more than doze...the Druid enjoys the experience, more or less. Being out in the wild was always the best way to be.

Survival: 13

Kaze takes his watch and enjoys listening to the jungle around them ... muttering to himself, "Sometimes its the little things that make the day brighter."

Once Einar understands the plan for the shelter he happily helps with the construction. Later he cleans the plant remains from his Maul and after a few bites he takes his rest. When Falkwyn wakes him up for his guard duties he's a bit grumpy... the cold damp air and his clothes still aren't dry.

Looking up to the dark clouds he mutters during his watch... "... why not use a few spells... *** cold... oh let's go out temple hunting... IN THE RAIN... will be fun! ... let's see the jungle... IN THE RAIN... SURE! that temple WOULD BE GONE when the RAIN season is over... "

Yofiel sets out two cooking pots, using leaves to channel the rainwater into them, with one of her clean bags covering the water's entrance to filter out any debris, with the water flowing through the somewhat porous fabric. By morning, so long as the rains hold up, that should give us two full or nearly full water pots.

Yofiel will remain up for about 90 minutes into the first watch, but not stand watch. Instead, she writes, and updates her copy of the map, and on a separate sheet, plots a more detailed map covering the path covered this day, with the passage toward the steep hill, the route upwards, the lunch spot, then the spot where the blighters attacked them. And so forth up until the group reached this handy rock overlay. With the hill they climbed, was there a descent from the hill after a while, or was the journey more on the level after we climbed that muddy slope?

She enjoys listening to Malric's stories, and later his music and bit of dancing about.

She asks the group to take a moment to thank the heavenly ones who watch over them, and again asks for courage, good fortune, and wisdom to face the coming day.

As Yofi needs to spend about four hours in meditation to gain a long rest, that is what she does during 2nd and 3rd watches.

Late during fourth watch, she stokes the pit-tunnel fire, and sets one of the water-filled cooking pots above the hole with the flames, planning to bring it to boiling by about the time for the others to arise. She will make hot tea, and have honey for those who wish to add a touch of sweetness to the morning beverage.

As people prepare to set out, she takes a few minutes to levitate up above the treeline, hoping to get as much of a territorial view as she is able, and to take a solid bearing on the generally East-NE direction of travel. Survival check for figuring direction of travel: 22. Perception while a bit above the treeline: 15. Once back on the ground, she uses the navigation tools to try to further solidify the start stages of travel, and plot a course on her map.
============
Survival: 22 - determine proper direction of travel
Perception: 15 - get a feel for what may lie ahead as she looks from above the treeline via levitation.

"Now that's the spirit, Einar! Doing things in the rain makes everything more fun!"

Regarding the travois, "Well, don't look at me, my lack of strength is only surpassed by my powers of observation. Now if you want me to charm the travois, that is something I'm quite skilled at. I can also be quite sneaky, though I'm not sure how that helps."

Yofiel collects water and deals with many of the tasks that must be done to ensure a night outdoors is successful. Sleeping shifts are sorted out with the elven members of the group sleeping less than the rest. In the morning Malric tries to help, poorly, and instead provides entertainment to the group.

As he sings, a bit off to the north, six round eyes open in the trees, their faces in a permanent smile. Ever so slowly, a long arm moves, its claws grasping for new handholds. The three sloths look at each other, one nods, as they start a slow and pointless journey to stay near the music. Too soon the music ends and the poor creatures have barely made it out of the tree they started in.

Yofiel levitates up through the trees having to push branches and leaves aside to get through and looks at the path ahead. Without the cover of the trees the rain certainly feels harder than below, and she is quickly soaked through yet again. Water drips down her face as she looks out, seeing that they are headed to some downhill sections that have lighter coverage of trees and will most likely be muddy. Further is kind of hard to make out, but the last looks wetter, maybe some standing water in places, it is hard to tell.

"So, Kaze, how about you pull the travois in the morning, and I'll take it after lunch? If you need me to spell you off before then, let me know."

After breakfast and breaking camp, Yofiel tells everyone what she has discerned about what lies ahead, and sets off with the group to see what this new day will bring. If uneventful, her activities will more or less replicate what she did the day before. As it appears they may arrive in a slightly more open stretch later in the day, she will keep her eyes peeled for a good spot to set up their tent.
============
Survival: 11 - Yofi will be happy to depend on others to get a better sense as they travel along. She will help where she can.
Perception: 22
