| | [20:05] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> When last we left our Band of Looters -- they had successfully claimed the seventh of the nine puzzle cubes to find for whatever purpose they have. After resting, they have continued on to the next temple in the water.\\ |
| | [20:06] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The water is two feet deep and slightly brackish.\\ |
| | [20:06] * Magestar is now known as [[character:Ash]]\\ |
| | [20:06] * [[character:Ash]] is now known as [[character:Ash]]-\\ |
| | [20:07] * Tolman is now known as [[characters:Stolanimus]]\\ |
| | [20:07] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "i'm not sure about you all, but a snowy retreat somewhere sounds aweful nice right now."\\ |
| | [20:08] <@Ash-> "Ugh"\\ |
| | [20:08] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The humidity isn't that bad...but it's all relative in the end.\\ |
| | [20:09] <May> "I think we can all agree that this land isn't very hospitable in general."\\ |
| | [20:10] * [[characters:Stolanimus]] is now known as Stolstrictor\\ |
| | [20:10] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The roar of the waterfall echoes off the walls of the caldera around you.\\ |
| | [20:11] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Stumbling through the water, you come to the shrine...\\ |
| | [20:11] * May looks around the immediate area for the native fauna.\\ |
| | [20:12] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Roll perception)\\ |

| | [20:14] * May more likely starts seeing sticks and other debris in the water and jump-scares thinking its a croc.\\ |
| | [20:14] * [[character:Dylan]] ([[character:Dylan]]@sorcery-3ovrp7.ca.charter.com) has joined #grovewood\\ |
| | [20:15] * @Stolstrictor slithers throught the water, in sentry mode.\\ |
| | [20:15] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] glances to kay. "want a piggy back ride?"\\ |
| | [20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> As you come to the other temple...an arrowhead shaped structure sitting squat in the water.\\ |
| | [20:17] * May coughs and feigns confidence. "Ah, no, ah, I wouldn't ask something like that..."\\ |
| | [20:18] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] rolls her eyes "you didn't I did ,but whatever." her fingers twitch slightly around her sword.\\ |
| | [20:18] <@Ash-> "You didn't ask, she offered, because you're being a bit of a chicken."\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Terres]] points to the sign that is pressed into the stone: �Nangnang teaches us to serve only ourselves.�\\ |
| | [20:20] * May crosses her arms while trudging through the water pensively. "Hardly."\\ |
| | [20:20] * May is now known as [[characters:Kayalia]]\\ |
| | [20:21] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] smirks. "oh goody, more riddles."\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Monoliths adorned with prancing, frog-like figures rise from the swamp. Beyond, a ruined edifice shaped like an arrowhead squats in the muddy water. Bushes and trees grow from its roof. At the pointed front of the building, steps ascend to a stone door caked in slime.\\ |
| | [20:23] <@Ash-> (Can I identify the slime from a safe distance away from it?)\\ |
| | [20:24] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (roll nature)\\ |
| | [20:24] * [[character:Dylan]] stares at the shrine\\ |
| | [20:24] * @Stolstrictor moves alongside, offering his large frame as assistance in the water.\\ |
| | [20:25] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] makes sure her sword is still lit then just stands there waiting for something to fight.\\ |

| | [20:26] * [[character:Dylan]] keeps an eye out for attack, now a bit paranoid since their last close call\\ |

| | [20:27] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The slight waves lap against the stone.\\ |
| | [20:28] <@Ash-> "I only said it was edible, not that it would be delicious."\\ |
| | [20:28] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "true, anyways we gonna stand around here or get moving?"\\ |
| | [20:28] <@Ash-> "Let's go."\\ |

| | [20:29] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Four grungs -- one of the looking very austentatious -- pop up with bows and arrows.\\ |

| | [20:30] * [[characters:Kayalia]] narrows her eyes.\\ |
| | [20:30] * Ash- lets out a sigh.\\ |
| | [20:30] * @Stolstrictor hisses.\\ |
| | [20:31] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] looks about. "ok who's laughing?"\\ |
| | [20:32] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> "MOKA MOKA! MOKA KRINA!"\\ |
| | [20:33] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "I don't suppose anyone speaks that language?"\\ |
| | [20:33] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "not i"\\ |
| | [20:33] <@Ash-> "Nope"\\ |
| | [20:33] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> You see a smaller looking frog like thing\\ |
| | [20:34] * [[characters:Kayalia]] shakes her dagger and scolds it angrilly, before putting it back in her sleeve. "Warn me sooner!"\\ |
| | [20:34] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> it scrambles up to the big frog, pointing to you all.\\ |
| | [20:35] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> "MOKA NI! MOKA NI! AUG HEY WI!"\\ |
| | [20:35] <@Ash-> "Well since they aren't shooting at us yet, I suppose we can try diplomacy."\\ |
| | [20:35] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "good luck with that."\\ |
| | [20:36] <@Ash-> "Yeah, I don't have any spells prepared that can deal with this...except maybe one."\\ |
| | [20:36] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Some of you recognize the little thing...it was going to be sacrificed to the lava a couple of weeks ago.)\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "little dude look familar to anyone else?"\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (in game?)\\ |
| | [20:37] <@Ash-> "Vaguely, but they all look similar."\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Yes)\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Maybe?"\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (so irl that was months ago)\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Yeah)\\ |
| | [20:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "did we save it?"\\ |
| | [20:38] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The little one is animatedly pointing to you and either speaking feverently on your behalf...or throwing a tantrum.\\ |
| | [20:39] <@Ash-> "We should figure out how to deal with this language barrier in the future."\\ |
| | [20:39] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "i say we deal with it by not being here any longer"\\ |
| | [20:40] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Let's just wait"\\ |
| | [20:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (actually seriously? nobody has that spell?)\\ |
| | [20:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> There is a conversation between the two. The elder frog thing looks at you all, then to the younger...and cuffs him hard once and shouts something. The others slink away...with the pair leaving last.\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (im guessing this would have been our warlock?)\\ |
| | [20:42] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] tilts her head "did what i think just happen?"\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (I don't think that spell covers spoken language)\\ |
| | [20:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The door is ajar.\\ |
| | [20:43] <@Ash-> "I think we just got permission to enter the temple, because that kid thing was a dumb ass"\\ |
| | [20:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (comprehend languages does)\\ |
| | [20:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "I say we get just what we need and get out. best not to provoke them into fighting us."\\ |
| | [20:44] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (as you walk in...)\\ |
| | [20:44] <@Ash-> "Agreed"\\ |
| | [20:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Torches shed light over rooms filled of treasure: chests heaped with coins, polished amphorae, strings of pearls, and ornate pieces of armor. Set into the floor in front of another double door is a mosaic depicting a frog-like humanoid beating a leopard that has snakes emerging from its shoulders. Cuneiform inscriptions are woven above and below the combatants.\\ |
| | [20:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (brb -- need meds)\\ |
| | [20:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "well this seems like one giant trap after another."\\ |
| | [20:47] <@Ash-> "It does. It screams to me 'loot it and suffer'!"\\ |
| | [20:47] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Everything here seems like a trap to be honest, it's become a little predictable"\\ |
| | [20:49] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Terres]]: The writing is just more of the local superstitions...gods having things stolen...blah, blah, blah.\\ |
| | [20:50] <@Stolstrictor> (That chest belongs to one-eyed-willie)\\ |
| | [20:50] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> You all see the altar, and behind it is a set of doors. Scattered *everywhere* are coins and gems. Gold, silver and even platinum.\\ |
| | [20:50] <@Ash-> (Sloth loves CHUNK)\\ |
| | [20:50] * [[character:Dylan]] goes and looks at the door\\ |
| | [20:51] <@Ash-> "I will admit, if I see diamonds lying around, I would be tempted to snag some."\\ |
| | [20:51] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] begins to carefully pick her way through the gold and other metals to look for the next cube.\\ |
| | [20:51] * [[character:Dylan]] shrugs at [[character:Ash]]\\ |
| | [20:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> There is no handle or lock to the door, but there is something carved into it.\\ |
| | [20:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Your risk to take"\\ |
| | [20:51] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks over the features of the floor, ceiling, walls, etc, for the common traces of trap-related devices/outlets/etc.\\ |
| | [20:51] * @Stolstrictor coils near the door.\\ |
| | [20:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Kay -- roll investigation)\\ |
| | [20:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Terres]] looks at the door: �Whoever among you is the richest, bring me your gifts.� "What do you think that means?"\\ |
| | [20:53] <@Ash-> "Well a risk to keep you all alive. There's a spell I figured out that can bring back the recently dead. I believe it requires diamonds."\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> 1d20+3 investigation\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[characters:Kayalia]]'s 1d20(?)+3 'investigation']: 12\\ |
| | [20:53] <@Ash-> "I think it means, we need to have the richest one among us present a gift."\\ |
| | [20:54] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] pauses at the door. "what kind of gift?"\\ |
| | [20:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (it would seem I won't stop sicking at investigation until I gain another 854 EXP)\\ |
| | [20:55] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "I dunno, i'm pretty poor, someone try picking up some of the treasure and offering it to the door?"\\ |
| | [20:56] * Ash- looks around to see if there is a particular clue to what should be offered and/or where.\\ |
| | [20:59] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> You don't see anything else other than carvings of gibberish and the closed doors.\\ |
| | [21:00] <@Ash-> "Well I'm not exactly rich, but I can leave a gift if need be."\\ |
| | [21:01] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] sighs "alright well..." she snuffs out the light of her sword then walks over to Stol and very gently rest her sword on the top of his coils "I'm gonna want that back." she then turns to ash "I have gifts to give, allow me." she then turns to the doors to try and open them.\\ |
| | [21:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (roll Strength -- raging?)\\ |

| | [21:04] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[character:Dylan]] -- you get the notion that the only reason why you're alive is that [[character:Miri]] doesn't have a plan to kill everyone...\\ |

| | [21:07] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> In the middle of this dusty room, a stone cube rests on a pedestal carved and painted to resemble a squat, humanoid frog.\\ |
| | [21:07] <@Ash-> "Wait, that's it? That seemed too easy."\\ |
| | [21:08] * [[character:Dylan]] shrugs\\ |
