We start by looking at the newly acquired map that shows a path through the jungles, it arrives at a small hill, at that hill is a path where you will arrive.
The map is not precise, it shows, a pyramid temple, a spiral, a set of dots for huts (?) and a set of dots for fires/nesting (?)
Talwin: Alright, who wants to climb a tree and look for a hill?
Talwin: Any takers?
Talwin: Clearly joking, but semi-serious
Lanek: what the hell
Talwin: Where's illero when we need his climbing skills?
Talwin: Chuckles
Lanek: i aint climbed nothin in a while
Talwin: Hesitates
Indigo: We;ll catch you if you fall
Talwin: You sure Lanek? I'm not questioning your judgement or anything, but
Lanek: caint be that much differnt than a wall right?
Talwin: Nods at Indigo
Talwin: We can do that
Talwin: Oh wait!
Talwin: Lanek!, I think if this map is correct
Talwin: We can navigate along this route here
Talwin: No need to climb
Talwin: Smiles Warmly
Talwin: Although thank you for your offer
Raelynn: Oh darn, and I was looking forward to it.
Lanek: oh, well, okay
Talwin: Don't worry Lanek
Talwin: Winks
Talwin: If there is a wall around this temple, you can climb it
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: So
Talwin: Nods to himself
Talwin: We have a route, and a plan. This will take some hiking, so let's gear up and get ready
Talwin: Is everyone doing okay? Any injuries or prep work you could need?
Raelynn: Is it going to get hotter?
Talwin: Raelynn, I'm sure it will
Raelynn: sighs
Youtargim: If I might ask? Along those lines with Rae, these are Fire gems? as in burning?
Talwin: The Tablet Inscription says “Firenewt Hatching Temple”
Talwin: I have a feeling it will very warm
Youtargim: Looks at his hands
Talwin: Points to Yout
Talwin: I sure hope not
Talwin: We just don't have that kind of detail to go off of
Youtargim: Do we have any way of carrying them?
Raelynn: Bucket of ice?
Talwin: If we need to however, we can fashion a stone box with earthern spells
Youtargim: We can?
Talwin: And drag the box behind us if necessary
Raelynn: Mmm, we should probably figure that out before you decide to sneak in and steal them. You might not have time to figure it out.
Talwin: There are other options I've considered, but I'm not going to stress until I've seen one with my own eyes first
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: Unfortunately, I cannot cast magic, so we should go over those details now
Talwin: There are three options
Talwin: At least, that I can think of
Raelynn: What if you balance them on Reven?
Talwin: Grunts
Craigh: I'm enjoying the fact that we left our own perfectly good swamps to go trekking around someone else's icky swamps.
Talwin: Well, since he knows that they can kill him, he will say no
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's a heck of a balancing act
Youtargim: There are good swamps?
Raelynn: Oh.
Raelynn: A warm, sticky icky swamp! I'm not dressed for this!
Bixi Fizzlebang: I do feel like you should maybe stress about it beforehand though... you might not have time to stress about it once you get in there
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Yes, I was getting to that
Talwin: The first few options we have
Talwin: One, we can ustilize the stone box approach and likely carry it or drag it
Talwin: The second option is a little more complex, but should be easy enough with access to water
Talwin: We'll need to layer a sled, with Earth, Gravel, Metal Bowl, and then Water
Indigo: Bredin didn't say we wouldn't be able to touch them ...
Talwin: If it is constantly burining, we will refresh the water steaming out of the bowl
Talwin: Nods to Indigo
Talwin: But they do have a point
Indigo: Yes
Talwin: We can fasion the sled now, but I'd rather do it closer to the Temple. That way, we can use a water filled leather sack to keep it contained until we can secure it properly
Raelynn: Oh! What if you get gather some of the plants here that can clearly survive the heat and use it to make a basket? Or at least wrap them in the leaves?
Talwin: If it's so hot that it burns through that, we won't be able to transport without significantly more magic
Craigh: anybody know how to make a basket?
Talwin: Which I am not sure how
Indigo: I can make a skiff
Talwin: Nods at Indigo
Youtargim: Do we need to keep them warm? like bird's eggs?
Raelynn: It doesn't have to be a pretty basket. Just, like, a giant leaf.
Youtargim: and how warm?
Lanek: not really yer craftsy type
Talwin: That basket is a good idea, but the idea is for the Dirt, Gravel, to keep the skiff from burning
Youtargim: Are these eggs? or gems? I was unclear on that
Raelynn: Oh, but Talwin, HOW are you going to grab one first?
Talwin: Yout, if this gets that complex, I'm going to tell Alexandria that I'm only Mortal for hells sake
Daphene: I can whittle, but not weave
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: I won't be grabbing one bare handed
Youtargim: Are you sure you are mortal? You have not died yet
Talwin: I'm going to use this pre-treated leather soaked in water to get it a distance away from the temple, before we secure it to final transport system. Like, an ark of the covenant or something
Craigh: I have a bit of the skin from that fire drake. That might work for temporary insulation while grabbing
Talwin: Well I aint a God Yout, that's for sure. Pretty sure I'd feel different if I was!
Youtargim: That is a nice idea Craigh!
Craigh: or, you know, channel the heat and make it worse.
Craigh: but I think, if anything, it'll insulate a bit
Talwin: Nods at Craigh. It can't hurt. I'll layer it in the leather pouch witht he water satchell
Talwin: It's only needing to hold until we get it to Indigo's small skiff sled
Talwin: At that point, it's easy enough to create the insulation to keep the skiff from burning
Talwin: But if we need to leave in a hurry, I wan't a quick solution to our final extraction point
Youtargim: Where is that?
Talwin: Points to the map
Talwin: Holds up the Tablet to a larger surrounding map
Talwin: See this point here
Talwin: This is a second much smaller rise that peaks just above the tree line
Youtargim nods
Talwin: it's roughly a mile and a half as the crow flies
Talwin: If something is chasing us a mile and half, we have other things to worry about
Youtargim: Everyone else see that?
Craigh: Howard, I don't suppose you happen to have telekineses or Bigby's grasping hand prepped, do you?
Talwin: But this rise will give us a good position to both see, get our bearings, and prepare the final transport
Howard Plum: I don't know those spells Craigh
Craigh: No, they're not common, but it was worth a shot.
Howard Plum: thinks, I barely know the spells I do know
Michael (Talwin): Scowls at Howard
Talwin: Think better of yourself man
Talwin: You did some amazing feats just a few moments ago
Talwin: It was truly impressive
Howard Plum: Thank you Sir Talwin
Talwin: I know I was impressed
Talwin: Mumbles
Talwin: As his gaze turns back to studying the map
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: I think we have a route traced. As we approach the temple proper, we'll keep a closer eye
Bixi Fizzlebang: He's got the glitter, what else do you really need?
Talwin: I don't want us caught. But I also gaurantee there will be resistance
Talwin: I'm not sneaky, and I don't think the parents will be thrilled we are stealing eggs
Talwin: We need to be careful. As we get closer, we'll begin ensuring we have a more defined plan. But that requires seeing what we are up against first
Talwin: Be on your gaurd everyone. Use your senses. I am good with my surroundings, but I'm not fool enough to say I don't miss things
Indigo: nods
Talwin: Excelletn. Before anything else. Please be observant if you can. Can I get a weather reading from someone
The time is 1:00 PM
Weather Report; Location: Dryads Lair Principality; Forest, Mid Spring; Day 6, Midday; Precipitation: Light Rain; Wind: No Wind; Temperature: Cold 48F / 9C
Talwin: Pff, Lighting is never a good idea.
Everyone tries to be observant but fails except for Licornah who can point to her right to what looks like a sprial path leading down, there is a stream? waterfall? in the center
Raelynn: stumbling along following the lead of those with better observation skills than hers
Talwin: Pauses.
Michael (Talwin): Thank you Licornah
Talwin: Thinks
Licornah: :: points with her lance :: That way, good luck...
Talwin: Turns to Licornh's Spear
Talwin: That way?
Talwin: Okay
The group knows that the temple is on the opposite side of the/a ridge from this spiral
Talwin: Ponders to himself
Craigh: So, go to the spiral or cross the bridge?
Talwin: This way is longer, but does not involve us crossing the river at any main points
Talwin: Thinking out loud
Talwin: We already have poor omens
Talwin: Let's go the long way around the spiral. Curve around the right hand side
Talwin: Navigates with his finger
Talwin: There is a path that looks like it does not connect with the water at all
Talwin: It's a little further, but not really hilly
Talwin: An easy pace
Craigh: lead on, Oh Brave Leader! We Followers shall Follow.
Talwin: Nods to himself
Talwin: We don't know if it's at the top end of the left or right side of the valley
Talwin: I'm not comfortable with crossing rivers unnecessarily this far from safe shores so to speak
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: Mumbles to himself
Talwin: Then it definitely isn't a big deal to go around it then
Talwin: That' slike what, less then quarter mile
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Do you ever feel like maybe you could just be living your best life, slaying a bunch of firenewts, but instead you're stuck on the hip of some overly cautious softy? No? Just me?
Talwin: So
Craigh: Want one of the sneaky *ahem* scout types to lead the way?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Come on, Yout
Bixi Fizzlebang: Keep up
Indigo: This spiral thing is weird. Wonder how they made this
Craigh: Walked in a circle probably.
Talwin: It's creeping me out. I'm trying to keep an eye on
Indigo: A lot!
Talwin: Chokes at Craighs comment
It does spiral down into the earth, with the water flowing downward
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um, maybe whatever lives in the pit made it
Raelynn: I hope that's not where the ritual takes place.
Craigh: Giant grub, lovely.
Indigo: What ritual?
Craigh: I wouldn't expect a fire temple under a waterfall, to be honest.
Raelynn: For the fire gems?
Zayden: should we pee in the river? see what happens?
Bixi Fizzlebang: If we have to go into that pit, you're all on your own. Sorry Talwin.
Lanek: it's a temple. gotta be rituals in a temple
Raelynn: If it's as sacred as they say, and secretive, it's a great way to throw people off.
Raelynn: But I hope you're right, Craigh.
Talwin: Talwin looks like the strain of years is beginning to catch up to him
Craigh: What is with you and peeing on things, Zayden? What did those giants do to you?
Talwin: His hopes and dreams used to be simple
Zayden: hey it's perfectly natural Craigh
Indigo: I was picturing a lizard coop like a chicken coop
Indigo: Guess it's more complicated
Zayden: We have to pee all the time
Raelynn: Are lizards and chickens related...?
Indigo: They lay eggs
Raelynn: Oh, good point.
Talwin: Talwin narrows his eyes
Indigo: What was that?
Talwin: Points
Talwin: You saw that right Indigo?
Talwin: Calls back
Talwin: Be on your guard
Indigo: Thought I saw a fire light but it disappeared
Talwin: I thought I saw one too
Talwin: Calls back. Keep observant for fire flashes
Talwin: Eyes the ground, looking for pitch from the water seeping into the ground
Talwin: Sniffs the air
Raelynn: whispers, “Isn't this a FIRE swamp...?”
Talwin: Hmm
Talwin: Why are you whispering?
Talwin: Yes, but I don't want US to be on fire
Talwin: Chuckles
Raelynn: Incase someone or someTHING put it out?
Raelynn: still quietly talking
Lanek: howard? what the heck are you doin back there
Lanek: m is for magic in the middle
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Talwin: As funny as that is, Howard knows his abilities
Talwin: He walked through a Dimension door
Talwin: I'm not saying a damn thing
Daphene: Howard IS pretty cool
Howard Plum: Did you wish me to go in front of you Lanek?
Lanek: i sure do.
Lanek: I’m way more expendable
Howard Plum: That is not true.
Daphene: Be careful Lanek! I wouldn't want to lose our wise man!
Lanek: rolls eyes
Raelynn: Neither of you are expendable BUT Lanek does wear armor at least.
Zayden: Yea he'll be fine
and Talwin and Indgo can now see there is a fork in the path, one heading north, one heading around the edges of the ridge
Zayden: a pit, a fork, where's the fruit!?
Indigo: Sounds good to me unless reading the map will give us a clue
Talwin: Nods at Indigo. While the rest of the gang catches up, I'll take another look
Talwin: Studies the map for any clue of what is North
Talwin: Hm
Talwin: Well, they could be helpful villages who might know more about the Temple
Talwin: Or, they could be fire worshiping cultists who will sacrifice us to the temple
Craigh: I'd advise avoiding the natives
Talwin: Thoughts?
Indigo: I don't think anything is helpful here ...
Talwin: Then we'll continue to the left
Talwin: And press on
Talwin: Thank you
Craigh: I'll keep an eye on them while we pass
Talwin: Nods with thanks
Craigh: Hey, this is neat bark on this tree
Craigh: very smooth
Talwin: You know, that's kind of true Craigh.
Talwin: It is a smooth bark
Talwin: Huh
Zayden: what bark?
Using her botany knowledge,
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... this bark looks like something has worn it smooth... but... not at ground level
Zayden: it's bark is likely far worse than its bite
Howard Plum: Miss Raelynn, I think we should advance now
Bixi Fizzlebang: What do you think could have done this?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Anyone?
Lanek: bud, she's way the heck up there
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe someone should keep an eye on the sky?
Zayden: walking with an eye to the sky sounds like a good way to end up on the ground
Lanek: i nominate you. oh, naw, guess it should be a tall person
Talwin and Indigo reach another fork
Indigo: Looks like we'll have to cross the stream
Talwin: Nods Grimly
Talwin: We'll cross to the North, but secure ourselves with Rope
Raelynn: Well this was quite a scenic walk.
Howard Plum: And uneventful
Talwin: Nods, feeling rather dumb
Talwin: Yeah, I uh
Talwin: I thought we might see more trouble
Talwin: Sorry guys
Talwin: Flushes red
Indigo: No trouble is good
Daphene: But.. we... were already on the other side of the stream?
Craigh: we're potentially raiding a temple. uneventful is *good*. A boring trip is best, I keep telling you all that, no one seems to believe me.
Raelynn: Uneventful is good unless it means being here longer.
Raelynn: A sauna is nice, but this is going to get ridiculous.
The stream is slightly steaming
and Zayden points out that any fish in that stream are already poached
Raelynn: You know, I've been thinking. Maybe we need to switch inns because clearly you all aren't getting enough fiber in your diet. Maybe you DO need to eat a salad.
Talwin: Looks at the Stream
Talwin: Thanks Zayden
Talwin: I didn't see that
Raelynn: Not only can I not swim, but that looks... like I'd rather go around the circle again.
Zayden: No worries Tal
Talwin: Hm
Indigo: sticks his hand in quick to see how hot
Talwin: Let me take a look at this bridge for a second
Raelynn: Doesn't the map have, like, a giant star that says, “Go here for the temple!” on it?
Talwin: Examines the Bridge carefully, establishing it's condition and sturdiness
Talwin uses his engineering skill and determines
It is an excellent bridge, excellent for two logs with some twine wrapped around them and then tossed over a warm steaming stream
so you are definately in someone's territory
Talwin: Eyes the bridge carefully
Talwin: Humans didn't construct this bridge
Zayden: You don't say?
Zayden: Who was it then if it wasn't humans?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe whatever rubbed off the bark on the trees...
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm thinking these firenewts might be... very tall
Indigo: The fire newts
Talwin: How hot was the Water indigo?
Zayden: rubbed off the bark...
Zayden snickers
Craigh: Firenewts maybe
Talwin: Hm
Talwin: Shrugs
Indigo: Not hot enough to burn me and cause any damage
Indigo: But warm enough
Talwin: Well, we're burning daylight. I can swim anyways, but here, take this end of rope please
Raelynn: Oh! So like a hot spring! Maybe it would be lovely.
Talwin: Hands a careful loop to Indigo
Talwin: We'll go one by one
Talwin: For safety
Raelynn: Er, but doesn't this mean Craigh is wrong?
Zayden: we crosssing that “bridge?”
Raelynn: That water might not be cool at the bottom of thepit.
Indigo: Okay
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe, or maybe you'll get swept away in the current and fall into the pit
Indigo: takes the rope offered
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Talwin: Ties the end around his waist and tries to walk over the Bridge.
Zayden follows Talwin without seeing how well Talwin fared.
Zayden: thanksa lot Tal!
Indigo: watches them and drops the rope so he doesn't get pulled in too
Talwin: Seriously Indigo!
As Talwin goes across the logs, he slips on the slick bark and tumbles into the water
Talwin: I gave you that for a reason!
Talwin: Sputters
and so Talwin drops into the water, suddenly is SUCKED down
He grabs the robe again,
and Talwin HEAVES himself back up with the rope out of the water
Talwin: THIS IS MY VINDICATION YOU ASSHOLES
Talwin: FURIOUS at himself
Zayden: heyyy there he is!
Talwin: And Embarrased because of the slip
While this is happening Zayden.....
failed his check across the bridge
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Look, I'm not saying you should kill them or anything, but I would be happy to help you teach them a lesson
Talwin to Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): ONCE IN A WHILE, MY PARANOIA IS IMPORTANT DAMMIT
Zayden: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 19]
so Zayden is sucked under
Talwin: Howard!
Talwin: Stop the water!
Howard Plum: What?
Talwin: We got a man coming your way!
Talwin: Maybe
Howard Plum: I cann't stop a river!
Zayden: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 8]
Raelynn: How do you stop water, Talwin?!
Talwin: I don't know! Do you have Raise Earth?
Raelynn: That'd be Bixi! Maybe someone run over and try to grab him??
Raelynn: Or lasso!
Howard Plum: Ask the priests!
Talwin: Flings the line backwards
Talwin: Reaches out to Zayden
Talwin: Grab my hand!
SLAM, just as he is about to go under Zayden reaches out and GRABS Tawlin's leg
Talwin: I said my HAND!
Talwin: HEAVES!
Zayden: You're legs are so muscular! Cough cough
and Talwin HEAVES both of them back up onto the shore
everyone is safe
Zayden: cough cough
Talwin: Zayden, I love you man. But for now, can you go to the back of the line
Talwin: Nearly shouts the last few words
Zayden: I hate this bridge
Talwin: Indigo!
Indigo: That was bad
Talwin: Let's rig up an anchor system for these ropes
Indigo: Yes?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: Just a little nick to teach them a lesson
Talwin: Give me a few moments while I examine this
Daphene: Can't we just go back around?
Talwin: Lanek! I need your Bark Skills
Daphene: We were just on the other side of this water
Craigh: or should we just walk back around the spiral?
Zayden: Back of the line? That feels like a punishment man
Raelynn: Maybe the Fates want us to go into the Pit.
Talwin: Well
Talwin: Thumbs his chin
Talwin: Now that you say it
Talwin: Let's do that. Wow. Didn't even think about that
Howard Plum: I don't want to go in the pit
Talwin: Let's just walk back around
Talwin: Nods
Raelynn: Maybe the village actually has someone helpful to talk to?
Zayden: I'm telling you cough cough
Talwin: Sighs
Zayden: we should cough
Zayden: pee cough
Raelynn: Mm, neither do I Howard, but I also don't really want to be here, so what's one more place I don't want to be?
Howard Plum: I think a pit would be worse than worse
The time is 1:40 PM
Raelynn: Talwin, we're walking in literal circles.
Talwin: I know Raelynn. But that river is dangerous. I just want to be careful okay?
Talwin: Clearly upset, but trying to keep it together. Done with everyones shit
Indigo: This map is bad
Talwin: Just wants to go home
Indigo: It didn't tell us anything
Raelynn: Yes, that's fair, I suppose. I just wish the map told you more.
Zayden: Hey Tal, just wanted to say, about earlier
Raelynn: It doesn't speak to you like your sword does, does it?
Talwin: I wish a lot of things at the moment
Talwin: Yes?
Zayden: You have really nice legs man
Raelynn: Oh! It does talk to you??
Talwin: Eyes Zayden. Don't you have a pit to piss into?
Lanek: snorts
Talwin: All right! Let's move out!
Zayden: Oh man I wish
Raelynn: mutters, “Well at least he's done with his oiling.”
Raelynn: You know, if we had a dwarf with us, he could probably talk to the stone map.
Talwin: Groans
Talwin: Oh Raelynn, that's a great thought
Talwin: But we don't do we
Talwin: Sadly
Talwin: Huh
Raelynn: Well you already talk to swords so you're halfways there.
Craigh: I can crawl on my knees and put on a fake beard if it will help
Indigo: Another fork
Talwin: Wonder what lies in that direction. Might be useful later
Talwin: Not on our map, just curious if we need a quick getaway
Raelynn: Oh, maybe, Craigh.
Raelynn: Er, but we should try that some other time.
Talwin: Eyes the Bridge sourly
Talwin: Flips it the Bird
Talwin: Waste of time
Talwin: Grumbles
Talwin: But better then Satan's butthole
Talwin: S'pose
Raelynn: My mother used to tell me if you do that too often, someone will cut your finger off.
Talwin: My mother didn't tell me anything, because she was dead
Raelynn: That's unfortunate. You can just take my mother's advice, then.
Talwin: Somehow I think your mother wouldn't approve of me. I'd be a terrible son
Talwin: mumbles under his breath
Raelynn: Oh, you never know. Maybe after all this she'll cook us up a meal.
Talwin: Eyes widen
Talwin: Whoa!
Talwin: It looks like Fire up ahead, but can't be sure!
Raelynn: Fire ...in a fire swamp. And this is different how...?
Talwin: Everyone, I think we are nearing the Fire part of the “Fire Swamps”
Talwin: This would be why the water was poaching the fish
Zayden: that would make sense
Zayden: hey wait up Tal
Indigo: looks for yellow crusty things on the grouns as he walks
Lanek: i dunno about streams but it's gettin smaller. mebbe we are close to the source now
Lanek can spot where on the ridge the stream seeps out of the rock and starts to trickle down to form that stream
Talwin: Frankly Craigh, I would say I'm surprised, but I'm really not
Talwin: Any markings or features you can tell?
Lanek: so. streams come out of rocks, do they?
Talwin: Yes. They are underground rivers
Lanek: it's just kinda seepin out up there
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Using his understanding of building castles on top of a swamp, Talwin cranks his headspace again
Carissa (Raelynn): what kind of rock would let it seep like that?
Talwin: Basalt
Lanek: salt?
Talwin: It's volvanic rock used in fortress walls for it's stability
Lanek: oh
Licornah agrees with Lanek about the stream emerging from the rocks there, and it seems to be steam coming there also, as it emerges into the air
Talwin: If you crush it up, and superheat it, you can use a ballistae to launch a burining powerder at invaders
Talwin: Are you saying there's an aquifer in there? Or just a large storage of water?
You can see three levels of heat up ahead
The time is 2:10 PM
Talwin: Well I got nothing. We know we are being followed, and we have a great big pyramid ahead of us. It would be a great vantage point if nothing else.
Talwin: I propose we do our best to cirumnativate the Fires, and approach the Pyramid
Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 8]
Zayden: [SKILL] Singing [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]
Zayden sings
Zayden smiles
There is a fire pit to your NE that is burning low, there is a fire pit straight ahead that is burning hotter, and there is a trench that is large and long that is burning very hot
Howard Plum: [CAST] Detect Magic
Howard Plum: casts detect magic to see if he can see any wards or spells guarding the area
Howard Plum: walks from east to west to see if he sees any magic around the fire structures or in front of the temple
Licornah: [CAST] Resist Fire/Resist Cold [at Talwin]
and so Howard sees the three pools with fire, no magic in them, but there are three Priests with magic items that glow brightly
Howard Plum: whispers, “The three priests here have magic items”
Indigo: Uh-oh ...
Indigo attacks Firenewt, Priest (Fluffed burnsides) with his Short swords killing her.
Zayden moves closer to one of the priests and tries to hide in the shadows but fails.
Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder) casts Pyrotechnics at Zayden.
The spell hits Zayden, Howard and Bixi, blinding them.
Zayden: My eyes! My beautiful eyes!
Lanek: saw what happened to Zayden and changed his mind
Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps) casts Heat Metal at Indigo
The metal Indigo is holding gets hotter and hotter, lightly wounding him
Daphene tries to hit Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder) with a stone from her sling but misses.
Youtargim RUNS forward and PUNCHES the Firenewt priestess, doing two points of damage, but failing to stop her from casting any spell, and not knocking her out, but he does manage to stay on his feet right in front of her, but she goes first next round and is is touching him currently
Craigh: casts Disawareness on himself, so that in a group or other confusing situation, he just sorta blends in and isn't really noticed
Raelynn: casts Hold Person at Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder)
Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder) fails to resist the spell and is HELD
Howard Plum: I can't see!
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) to Talwin: murderrrrrrr!
Talwin attacks Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps) with his Giant-kin, 2-handed sword, killing her.
Zayden: Bixi!!!
Bixi Fizzlebang: YOU GUYS ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST, I CAN'T WAIT TO STEAL YOUR BABIES!
Talwin: Throw Glitter!
Talwin: Talwin Calls
Licornah: moves in front and takes Bixi's hand to move her out of harm's way
Indigo: drops swords
Zayden: I can't see! Helloooo! I can't see !
Zayden: Helllooo Hellooo?!
Raelynn: Just don't move yet!
Zayden: You don't move yet!
Zayden keeps singing and failing to hide in the shadows while blinded.
Zayden: can you hear me sing?!
Daphene fires a stone from her sling at Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder). She hits the priestess, moderately wounding her and narrowly avoiding hitting Youtargim.
Youtargim STABS his dagger into the Firenewt's belly and kills her
The three priestesses are dead. Now is the time to act before more havoc ensues.
