[Game Thread] Strange maps

[delpinator]

Arrogaio paused to consider the situation. "Caution would suggest that we engage them at longbow range," he said, "but...we are not invaders, or marauders. Perhaps I can negotiate a peaceful passage. A warning, though," he added. "Do not touch the grung with your bare skin, in combat or otherwise." Arrogaio glanced at the inscrutable, and chitinous, Cha-kra. "I am told that the experience is most unspleasant."

rhazor turns to the others to the beach to watch the amphibious defenders awaiting them. "How many to you see?" he asks the others, especially the one in the outlook before he tries to count the foes on his own.

At that Cha-kra turned around with an alien, curt motion, and after a few steps he was bearing down on the human rogue, putting him face to face with his chitinous face and mandibles. ~They number slightly less than three dozen. Maybe one dozen of them ready to oppose an invasion.~ There was an eery stillness to Cha-kra as he conveyed his thoughts to all around him, and only a single snap of his mandible created actual noise. ~More importantly. Who in our group possesses magical healing? Who possess magic at all?~ His antennae quivered slightly. ~Magic is very practical. I want to know what our party can do. If we land and will make these creatures tell us if they know about the progress of our prey and whether they can decipher more of the landmarks on the map, then I want to plan with all our capabilities to achieve their compliance. We might gain more with a non-violent approach. Any of you may talk.~ Finally Cha-kra turned his facetted gaze away from Rhazor and regarded the entirety of his party. ~Does magic exist to alter thoughts or to break wills?~

Briggs doubts diplomacy of any kind would work on such a creature, and even an inveterate scoundrel like Briggs finds the idea of torture distasteful.

But the mention of Grung piques his interest. "Ah, now maybe they can be reasoned with. I've worked with a Grung before, and I must say he was a right decent sort. Lent me his own magic sword when I had no other weapon that would wound our foes. If one of us can translate, I'd be happy to open negotiations."

"Our friend Briggs, you have seen, is a man of action, wielding those pokers with finesse. I doubt that our avian companion possesses the ability to master the vocalizations often required in the working of magic. You already know me to be proficient - to say the least - in the arcane arts, but I do not engage in the distasteful manipulation of minds. Perhaps Confor? And Rhazor here - well, he can answer for himself. You do have a certain sly air about you..."

Snap Kick waves a hand before Arrogaio defiantly, and declaims dramatically, "A la peanut butter sandwiches!"

Nothing magical ensues, and the kenku clacks his beak in irritation.

"If I could change the minds of others, I wouldn't start with the newts or grungs."

Not expecting that he could get the island inhabitants to negotiate, but deciding it wouldn't hurt to try, the warlock stepped up to the edge of the boat and conjured up the Misty Visions Invocationillusion of a the illusions he can create can fill a cube 15 feet on a sidelarge white flag being waved back and forth above his head. "PARLEY!" He shouted the phrase in Common, then in Primordial. "We don't want to fight you! Will you talk to us?" He again repeated the phrase in both tongues.

The lizards wave in response before Yelling in primordial "Hero! Hero! They will defeat the serpent of stone! Hero! Hero!"

The boat docks into the sand being roughly three feet in depth. The shore is a sandy beach of palm trees though as the trees continue they are swallowed into a jungle of ferns and vines. The beach goes east and west for a few miles in each direction making it hard to tell the width of the island before it begins to bend. A large mountain is seen in the far horizon past or perhaps within the jungle itself.

[Solitaire64]

Confor No one is more surprised than the warlock in debt to an infernal fiend when the firenewts not only understand, but respond positively. "Well, I will be dam--that is, they understood me. They are responding in Primordial, and are hailing us as heroes who will defeat the "serpent of stone" for them. Maybe that 'serpent' guards the so-called "Fane of Dreams?"" Confor watched the approaching coast and thought a little more. "Actually, we shouldn't assume that the firenewts are trustworthy. This is still, presumably, the "Thorp of Delusions." Keep your guard up."

It's him, not me. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, so please tell me if I do so. If you see Arrogaio creeping here, I've already asked the target permission OOC. And I have no intention of him following through - certainly not on-camera. (:

[LeDragon]

Rhazor Blackhand Rhazor is as surprised as the others that the group is received rather amicably. If the amphibian people had thrown Confor's head over the ship's railing, this would have fit more into his world view. But it is better that way, of course - especially for Confor. Rhazor cast a last, doubtful glance over the beach and its strange inhabitants. Would it all work out well? The young rogue remains suspicious and is therefore the last to leave the ship. He keeps his crossbow ready to shot the whole time.

Snap Kick The primordial spoken by the islanders is similar to Auran, but in a different dialect. Nonetheless, the kenku is able to decipher their conversation. Luckily, other more articulate members of the party pick up on it as well. For now, the monk stays close by Confor's side. He eyes the amphibian creatures pointedly, primeval instincts in the raven part of his brain stirring a hunting urge. Luckily his well-developed higher brain overrides such urges.

Cha-kra As soon as Rhazor backed away without clarifying who he believed to be practicing healing magic, Cha-kra lost all interest in the rogue and appeared to regard Arrogaio who chided him for his imperiousness. The explanation about the party's magical capabilities went uncommented by the Thri-kreen, and he swiftly turned away from interacting with his mammalian companions as soon as Confor produced his own illusionary magic and hailed the natives on the beach. As the warlock conveyed that they were viewed as heroes and expected to defeat a serpent of stone, the mantis appeared neutral enough about the whole concept and he kept his thoughts to himself as Confor cautioned that the natives might not be trustworthy and Arrogaio directed the captain to land their vessel. Cha-kra peered out across the beach with his facetted eyes and it just wasn't clear if anything about this concerned him at all.

It graces you with supernatural speed, agility, and focus. You can use a bonus action to start the trance, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the trance at any time (no action required). While your trance is active, you gain the following benefits: - You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) - Your walking speed increases by 10 feet. - You have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks. - You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell.

Confor As the boat grounded gently on to the sandy shoreline, Confor swallowed his worries and stepped on to the beach. Speaking somewhat formally, he spoke each sentence first for the PCsin Common, then in Primordial. "Hello. We are explorers and have no wish to harm you. Please, tell us more about the serpent of stone. Where is it? How big is it? Does it turn things into stone? Also, do you know of the Fane of Dreams or the Silver Wyrm?"

OOC: delpinator, let me know if I need to make another Persuasion roll please.

[delpinator]

Though the crew remains unsure of their new acquaintances there seems to be no threat.

"Ha ask the statues that woship the serpent. silver wyrm is on the mountain watching, always watching. Watch for the dust in the fane it is the dreams. The fen, fey the fey keep watch over the dream."

 

I know it's not long or especially great but I needed to get a post out. I'll am to post every Tuesday and Friday as we get through this adventure.

[bootblack]

[FIELDSET="Briggs IC"]

Briggs listens to the Grung, and though his expression is favorable at first, hisnvisagengraduallybgeows more neutral. "Gentlemen, quick sidebar?"

To his friends, he says, "I don’t speak Primordial, but it sounds like they want us to defeat the dragon? Yet, aren’t silver dragons generally benevolent, or at least, benign? Something’s not stacking up."

He adds, "But before we get there, it looks like we’ll be crossing paths with the Fey. Does anyone speak Sylvan?"

 

[Yoshimi]

Snap Kick Snap Kick gathers in the huddle with Briggs and the others. He nods along with Briggs in agreement and clacks his beak. He adds in a gruff male voice, "You're good, Charleston. You're not my kind of cop, but you're smart and you smell good."

Cha-kra The Thri-kreen appeared patient, if ever alien while he simply awaited for Confor to be the party's mouthpiece and translator. After the half-elven explained what the natives were telling them, Briggs called his group to a sidebar and then cautioned them that silver dragons were supposedly benevolent beings. He also inquired whether the party was prepared to speak sylvan with the fey guardians which were rumored to guard some kind of dream that was somehow related to some kind of dust within the Fane of Dreams. Though he didn't say so clearly, Snap Kick appeared to be on board with Brigg's assessment. When Cha-kra finally transmitted his telepathy, it was clear that he was not. ~Your explanation doesn't make sense to me.~ The mantis warrior's facetted gaze was resting at Confor. ~What are these primitives saying? The stone serpent sounds separate from the silver wyrm. They want us to ask statues about the serpent? Where are the statues? What about the rumors of petrification that you heard?~ This time Cha-kra regarded Rhazor, who had told the party about such rumors before. ~Looking at the sun does not make one a statue. But they said living statues guard this Tempel of Shadows that we seek. It's only after the Fane of Dreams or the wyrm mountain though.~ With that the Thri-kreen turned back to Confor. ~What does the word "fane" mean? Ask the primitives. Why would we ever go there if there are fey? My kind does not dream. It sounds pointless. If the primitives tell us where the wyrm mountain lies, we should be able to find such a landmark without following the map. I don't mind hunting a serpent of any kind, but don't forget that our goals are the pirates, and their treasure at the end of this map is the bait. The less we fight, the faster we reach this Tempel of Shadows to "count the stars" and secure the bait first.~

Rhazor Blackhand Rhazor nods to Briggs and Cha-Kra although latter's way of communication is still a challenge to him. "This sounds indeed strange. We should find out if the silver dragon and the fey are hostile to the villagers and if they may be hostile to us." Especially to us. "And ask them about the size if the silver dragon.. just in case. You never know." He thinks a moment, then adds. "And we should know where to find, 'cause I prefer to avoid them on our tour to the pirates' treasures." His voice sounds hopefully, but deep in his heart, he is afraid that the pirates placed their hideout right in the nest of whatever is the most dangerous beast on this island.

[delpinator]

The group garhers to discuss the new information and when asked about the mountain a grung points to the mountain sticking out of the jungle.

The jungle itself seems to be calling as the palm trees and ferns push into it.

Confor seems odly silent and distant and meerly returns to the ship lost in thought.

[bootblack]

Briggs IC Briggs gives Chakra an animated nod. "You’ve the right it, I mis-parsed what the grung were saying about the serpent. Yes I see, two different creatures." "As for ‘fane’, if memory serves, it’s an old word meaning ‘temple’. So a temple of the fey on one side of the mountain, and a temple of shadow on the other. I’m no scholar of the planes, but one has to wonder…" "Either way, I’d shed no tears if we can avoid the fey and their trickery." Even as he says this, his mind drifts to tales of fey women and their beauty. Worth the risk? Well, who is he to judge? "Either way, my friends, that mountaintop is like to be as good of a landmark as we’re going to get. I’m ready to set out whenever you are."

 

[Yoshimi]

Snap Kick Snap Kick salutes Briggs. He cries in a bold female voice, "I'll tell you what. Until I get back my five thousand dollars, you're gonna get more than you bargained for. I'm your goddamn partner!" With that, he lines up behind Briggs and prepares to follow.
