[20:55] <@ GWRD> Our story resumes in a temple complex in the pocket dimension a group of travellers have been pulled into. We find our travellers now enjoying the comforts of the temple, having been granted an outlying guest building to use.
[20:55] * Shaddow is now known as Animal
[20:57] <@ GWRD> The building has enough accommodations for about 6 people, and is designed similiar to Tien (Oriental) design.
[20:58] <@ GWRD> It is about mid-day as our session begins.
[20:59] * Dragoon_Kevoyan checks his weapons and scours any developing rustpits.
[21:00] * +Animal is staying with the animals and her cart the whole time, not leaving them.
[21:00] <@ GWRD> The weather here seems favorable to your firearm at the moment. Not too humid or wet.
[21:01] <@ GWRD> The guard watching Animal lets out a long yawn.
[21:02] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Where can we get some food?”
[21:02] * Garun_Degiron looks at the others “the temple seems to be well provisioned with food”
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Good. I'm getting hungry. Here's to hoping that they have meat.”
[21:04] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[21:05] <@ GWRD> The temple did seem well provisioned, and you did just have lunch before being escorted to this guest house. You recall the priestess inform you that you were welcome to join the clerics for meals.
[21:06] <Garun_Degiron> (so they didn give us much more information about the druid thats bugging them, just he doesnt like their settlement here and thats it?)
[21:09] <@ GWRD> (He's been attacking their settlement since they arrived here and established this temple.)
[21:09] <@ GWRD> (You could ask more questions if you wish)
[21:09] <Garun_Degiron> (wasnt that some 100 of years?)
[21:11] <Garun_Degiron> (can i get one of the priests aloneand out of sight of the main priest?)
[21:11] <@ GWRD> (Correct)
[21:11] * Dragoon_Kevoyan stands up and gets his musket and gear.
[21:11] * @Ptolamir finishes a snack.
[21:12] * Garun_Degiron tries to get a priest alone to ask some more questions about the druid
[21:12] * +Animal will sit in the back of her cart, and grab a rag and begin cleaning her weapons.
[21:13] <@ GWRD> There is one of the larger guards keeping watch over the training yards outside of your guest house. He eyes you as you approach.
[21:13] * Dragoon_Kevoyan eyes him back.
[21:16] <@ GWRD> Guard: “What do you want?”
[21:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Where's the priests? We need to ask some questions.”
[21:16] <@ GWRD> Guard: “Pfffth, in the temple where you left them.”
[21:18] <Garun_Degiron> “And what do you think of them?”
[21:18] <@ GWRD> He raises a brow.
[21:18] <@ GWRD> Guard: “I am one, so I think highly of them.”
[21:19] <Garun_Degiron> “Do you think that druid can be reasoned with?”
[21:21] <@ GWRD> Guard “Doubtful. That druid is a loose cannon and would likely maul you first chance he can get, if he doesn't have the plants choke the life out of you.”
[21:21] * Dragoon_Kevoyan snorts “Just like most woodsmen I know.”
[21:22] <Garun_Degiron> “Did you ever try to talk with him or get rid of him before?”
[21:23] * @Ptolamir walks up behind Dragoon.
[21:23] * @Ptolamir nods.
[21:23] <@ GWRD> Guard “Oh we've tried to get rid of him. Even went so far to burn down a patch of the forest once, when we thought we had him trapped.”
[21:24] <Garun_Degiron> “What happened to the rest of the people in the village exactly?”
[21:25] <@ GWRD> Guard “Druid got em. Vermin and other nasty things.”
[21:26] <Garun_Degiron> (can i check if this guy is lying or witholding something?)
[21:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (or we can beat the truth out of them)
[21:27] <@ GWRD> (Sure, you may roll a Sense Motive check.)
[21:27] <@ GWRD> (Beating the truth would be an Intimidate)
[21:27] <Garun_Degiron> 1d20+9 sense motive
[21:27] <TolBot> Garun_Degiron's 1d20(16)+9 'sense motive']: 25
[21:28] <@ GWRD> You get the general impression that this guy doesn't care too much about you all, but definitely hates the druid more. His last statement feels a little off, as if there's more to it then 'just the druid'.
[21:28] <+Animal> (i told you they were freaking cannibals!)
[21:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (my Intimidate is +0… “aww…come on…don't make me…umm…umm…beat you or something, mmkay?”)
[21:28] <Garun_Degiron> (do i know much about druids and if they would use undead or those maggots to attack someone)
[21:29] <@ GWRD> (That's Knowledge: Nature. Common knowledge suggests they use beasts, but a roll might give you more information.)
[21:29] <Garun_Degiron> ( i dont have any knowledge:)
[21:30] <+Animal> (when you use your skill checks list what's the mod number you add to the roll? the total column? )
[21:30] <@ GWRD> (Then that's what you know)
[21:30] <@ GWRD> (Yes)
[21:30] <+Animal> (lmao ok, thank you)
[21:31] <Garun_Degiron> “I have heard of druids using animals and plants to attack but some of the things we have seen in the village do not seem of druid orrigin!”
[21:31] <@ GWRD> Guard:“Then how do you explain it?”
[21:32] <Garun_Degiron> “Well i cant, i am new to this place. But it just seems strange!”
[21:33] <Garun_Degiron> “If we are to assist with the druid it would help us to know as much as possible about his methods.”
[21:34] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Or Allies.”
[21:34] <@ GWRD> Guard:“Well for starters, don't expect him to just out and attack you right out. The bastard is sly, real sly. Will lure you into ambushes, sneak into your area as a mouse and then turn into a lion and rip out your throat, have his animals tear you limb from limb.”
[21:35] <Garun_Degiron> “That is more what i would expect from a druid”
[21:35] <@ GWRD> Guard:“And the birds… watch out for them birds. When you spot them, either kill them all in one shot or he'll know what you're up to.”
[21:36] <@ GWRD> Guard:“When you do see him though, watch out for his rage and anger is unbridled. He won't stop until everything is dead or he can't reach you anymore.”
[21:36] * Dragoon_Kevoyan pats the barrels of his musket
[21:38] <@ GWRD> The guard looks over at the musket. “What kind of staff is that thing?”
[21:38] <Garun_Degiron> “Well he seems like an interesting individual”
[21:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Staff of thunder…of sorts”
[21:40] * Garun_Degiron chuckles
[21:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Does he use just birds, or should I shoot cats and rats as well?”
[21:43] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb again)
[21:44] <@ GWRD> Guard: “I'd kill any fuzzy thing I'd encounter.”
[21:47] <Garun_Degiron> “Does the druid still attack this place or is he just skulkin in the woods waiting to ambush someone?”
[21:48] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I'm guessing you don't keep any pets?”
[21:48] <@ GWRD> Guard: “It has been oddly quiet the last few days here. I suspect your arrival had something to do with that. Until recently he attacked on a regular basis, but perhaps he is now seeing how newcomers will play into all of this.”
[21:49] <@ GWRD> Guard: “No… no pets here.”
[21:50] <Garun_Degiron> (do i recall seeing any birds or critters watching us since we got transported here or did that first guy mention anything about a druid?)
[21:50] <+Animal> (we've seen birds since we been here)
[21:51] <@ GWRD> (Yes you did see some birds when you entered the inner part of the temple. The first guy did not mention anything about a druid.(I believe)
[21:53] <Garun_Degiron> “You did not mention if anyone tried to reason with this druid, what exactly does he want or is he just after destruction?”
[21:53] * @Ptolamir looks at the others, “Can we take him?”
[21:54] <@ GWRD> Guard: “Nobody has been able to reason with him.” He snorts “But you're welcome to try.”
[21:56] <@Ptolamir> “If he won’t reason… then he will burn.“
[21:56] * @Ptolamir seems on edge.
[21:57] <@ GWRD> The guard smiles.
[21:58] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I think we can spik past the 'reason' and get into 'open fire'.”
[21:59] <Garun_Degiron> (does he know what level that druid is :))
[22:00] <@ GWRD> (Nope, but I do)
[22:00] <@ GWRD> (But based on the conversation you're having, Level = Badass)
[22:00] <Garun_Degiron> (quickly Tol, ill distract him and you take a sneak peek at the druid sheet)
[22:01] <@Ptolamir> (hehe)
[22:01] <Garun_Degiron> (Mage … your sandals are untied)
[22:02] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Your rich uncle called – he's not feeling good and wants to make sure you're in hte will)
[22:02] <@ GWRD> (Nice try but I'm not wearing my sandals, and they are velcro straps)
[22:04] <Garun_Degiron> “If we were to go deal with this druid problem, where would be the best palce to find him?”
[22:05] <@ GWRD> Guard: He rolls his eyes “In the woods someplace, or just wait here long enough for him to show up to maul us to death.”
[22:08] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Sure. We'll just go into the one place where he has the advantage, because that always works.”
[22:09] <@Ptolamir> “I still don’t understand the motivations in this place.”
[22:12] <Garun_Degiron> “I would like to know more about the other dangers in this village, Is there abything else except critters and plants?”
[22:12] <@ GWRD> The guard looks around for a moment. “There are those creepy kids that eat people.”
[22:13] <@ GWRD> He shudders
[22:15] * @Ptolamir remains quiet
[22:15] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks to Garun.
[22:15] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Really? The kids eat people?”
[22:15] <@ GWRD> Guard: “Most horrible thing I've ever seen.”
[22:16] <Garun_Degiron> (eating people… when did that become ok)
[22:16] <Garun_Degiron> “That doesnt sound like normal kids!”
[22:17] <@ GWRD> (Awww I'm sorry, did I throw your cannibalism theories for a loop!)
[22:18] <+Animal> (nope, i still say they are cannibals! :P)
[22:18] <@ GWRD> Guard: “They aren't normal. They suck the flesh right off your bones.”
[22:18] <Garun_Degiron> (check please… i am outtqa here)
[22:19] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Huh…what do the children fear?”
[22:20] <Garun_Degiron> “We met some scared kids that baricaded themselves in one of the buildings, they seemed hungry but quiet normal”
[22:21] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I'm thinking those were the cannibal kids. They didn't like the grubs, but they might have been thinking that they were ccompetition.”
[22:22] <@Ptolamir> “Hmm“
[22:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Anything else?”
[22:25] <Garun_Degiron> “I am starting to think this place is not nice to settle in”
[22:25] <@ GWRD> Guard: “I don't know. Asandra is the only one these days that is known to brave the outer grounds.”
[22:25] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Yeah, been here all this time and no tavern.”
[22:25] <Garun_Degiron> “Asandra?”
[22:25] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “We'll go looking for her.”
[22:25] <Garun_Degiron> ( is that the priestes or is there another girl here?)
[22:26] <@ GWRD> (The priestess who was very short on words with you all.)
[22:26] <+Animal> (she's the only female here right? outside of animal)
[22:27] <@ GWRD> (Only one you've seen at the moment, but you haven't explored a lot of the area yet.)
[22:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (We Quest!)
[22:29] <@ GWRD> (Quest Accepted: “Are There Any Girls There?”)
[22:29] <Garun_Degiron> (/me looks for anoye with a questionmark floating above them!)
[22:31] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (or an exclamation point)
[22:32] <Garun_Degiron> (DM paint us a picture… how many exclamation points are in this quest hub, we need to know if we stay or skip)
[22:33] <@ GWRD> (That's up to you all and what you decide to do. You do have 2 other areas to explore too, if you wanted to.)
[22:35] * Garun_Degiron thanks the guard and then returns to the room
[22:35] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Let's find Asandra…get information out of her and see what we can do to shorten the druid's lifespan to hours. Savvy?”
[22:36] <@Ptolamir> (funny)
[22:38] <@ GWRD> (So the plan is to find Asandra now?)
[22:39] <Garun_Degiron> (well i will try to rest a little bit try to get some con back)
[22:39] <@ GWRD> (So time jump?)
[22:40] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Just a step to the left…)
[22:40] <Garun_Degiron> (well i dont know if those guys want to question the girl priest)
[22:41] * @Ptolamir rests.
[22:42] * Dragoon_Kevoyan catches a nap
[22:43] <@ GWRD> (We'll call it here, since it's almost midnight.)
[22:44] <@ GWRD> The party returns back to the guest house to rest a little, before they seek out Asandra; as this session comes to a close.
