The date is Pen____de, 6th Sow (Late Spring), 587 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

The time is 7:30 AM

BOB the Mule is upstairs tied off to a tree

There is a four-way intersection here. In the middle of the intersection a large growth of wood, apparently of natural origin, divides the flow of the river into three parts, diverting it so that a channel of water runs down the center of the other tunnels, all of which slope gradually downward from this point.

BOB The door was to close off the water fall for X number of rounds

BOB Then you climbed down the ladder that was revealed

BOB It is like a small access panel type of door

BOB you have gone down a sloping passage, climbed down a 30 foot waterfall, through cavern with flowing water so a downslope, then down another 30 foot waterfall that you temporarily turned off to reveal a ladder,

BOB you are now down at the bottom of that with the four way diversion of water flowing

BOB small maintence hatch to open

BOB which you did then you climbed down

BOB and with that roll I will tell you that yes it seems to you that the wood around these parts is definately shaped by some sort of intelligence, this is not a natural growth of wood

MeLange: This wood growth is... not natural...

Levi Reed: Agreed

Levi Reed: Someone built this

Levi Reed: Or wizarded it or something

MeLange: maybe the footsteps?

BOB With the Botany check Levi would know that it take active maintence to grow wood and plants like this underground

Levi Reed: Someone must come around here frequently enough to take care of it, too

Jericho: So do we keep going? Which direction?

MeLange: Hmm, so somebody cares about this place?

Levi Reed: I'm not sure... anyone see where those footsteps went?

MeLange: We didn't come all this way just to stop now

BOB Also for MeLange, he notices several small fish swim by in the stream

MeLange: Oh there's some small fish here too

BOB It is an active ecosystem

Levi Reed: Well, if we get trapped here at least we'll have food?

BOB and at this point the waterfall behind you starts flowing again

MeLange: Nice and all, but let's just not get trapped here

Levi Reed: This is kind of a nice little cave. I hope whoever is here doesn't try to kill us

BOB The others are down here, I just did not move their tokens

Jericho: Well, let's pick a direction I guess?

MeLange: I say we follow in the footsteps of those that have come before us

BOB You do not see any footsteps

Levi Reed: Well... we want to head towards the sounds or away?

BOB Yes to someone observing them but they are not easily visible to someone who does not have the tracking skill

Levi Reed: I vote towards. Any of you chickens want to head away from the mysterious noises that shouldn't be in a cave?

BOB Levi is in front of the passageway that he thinks the noise was coming from

MeLange: chicken?!

BOB Levi is leading the way

Levi Reed: Great, let's go then

Jericho: Nods

BOB Levi is 25 feet ahead of you right now and then moves around the corner

BOB Leaving the rest of you in the dark

BOB Because you did not move to keep up

Levi Reed: Hurry up!

BOB I told Lemon to move and let others follow, she stopped and no one followed

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]

Levi Reed: Someone else want to hold the torch?

Jericho: Sure

Levi Reed: So y'all don't keep getting stuck in the dark?

Levi Reed: hands torch to Jericho

BOB and how you need to be organized

Levi Reed: Looks like it opens up a bit here!

BOB Levi is up front so would need to come from him

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

BOB but Melange is in the rear and can make those checks as needed also

-> Levi Reed: A clicking and creaking noise comes from left fork of the two passages, the one on the right is a soft quiet rustling

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

Levi Reed: You guys hear that?

Jericho: Hear what?

Jericho: Whispers

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]

Levi Reed: There's like a... creaky noise from this way (points left) and a... rustling sound from the other way

Jericho: .....

Temperance: furrows eyebrows in concentration

Jericho: Okay?

Jericho: So, our choices are creaky or rustely?

MeLange raises an eyebrow

Jericho: Smirks a bit in nervousness

Levi Reed: Yeap

Temperance: If that's the case, that may mean we're surrounded

Levi Reed: It might just be some animals

MeLange: surrounded by what?

MeLange: probably just the wind

Levi Reed: I chose the last direction, MeL, you're up. Which way next?

Jericho: Passes the reuqest down the line for Levi

MeLange: I'm all the way back here bud I can barely hear ya!

Temperance: He says, choose a direction

Jericho: Sighs

Temperance: Since he chose the last one

Jericho: I flipped a coin, go right

Rothuss Carder: drapes his plant fronds as gracefully around his shoulders as best he can for best balance.

MeLange: Oh right

Ropy pillars of fungus grow from ceiling to floor here, ranging from one to four feet in diameter.

MeLange: I say we move towards the creaky noise, since that's exactly what a chicken would NOT do

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

Jericho: At your six

Jericho: Whsieprs

MeLange: what kind of mushrooms are those?

Shambling Mound, Young: Advanced Effect ['RESIST:cold,piercing,slashing'] -> [to Shambling Mound, Young]

Shambling Mound, Young: Advanced Effect ['IMMUNE:fire,lightning,bludgeoning'] -> [to Shambling Mound, Young]

BOB So Levi steps a bit into the chamber and sees all the pillars of fungus

BOB creating a cluttered space

BOB Levi can also spot a large casket, more of a chest type than human remains type in the far rear corner as he looks in and around the pillars

BOB There is a soft rustling he cannot identify

Levi Reed: Hmmm.... there's a box back there...

Levi Reed: You guys hear that noise yet?

Jericho: I do now

Jericho: Bats?

MeLange: sure I hear it

BOB Let pause for a moment

BOB make sure everyone is aware of where they are, how you are set up

BOB and roll Init just to keep everyone in tune with what order you go in

MeLange: [INIT] [d10 = 3]

Jericho: [INIT] [d10 = 4]

Temperance: [d10 = 2]

BOB You do have that other passage with noise coming from it, and the passage behind you so three different ways and I want everyone to have a chance to see some of the new updates too

Levi Reed: [INIT] [d10 = 6]

Rothuss Carder: [INIT] [d10 = 3]

Lirtimya: [d10 = 1]

MeLange: Hey Lirt, Temp, mind if Just get passed you guys?

Temperance: [2 = 2]

MeLange: you both smell great by the way

Levi Reed: Not my face

BOB So we are starting at the top of the round

BOB to walk through things

[TURN] Lirtimya

[TURN] Temperance

BOB You are in posistion

BOB This is to remind everyone of how this works, people in order in a tight space etc

BOB Temperance moves quicker than Jericho so goes faster, but might be blocked by people in front of her who move slower etc

BOB and everyone can (re)learn how this works for future more complicated combats

BOB Levi cannot move until his time in the tracker

Michael (Jericho): This is why I want us to be in Initiative Order for caves. No way to fuck ourselves over

BOB That is not always possible Michael

BOB Some people move faster than other in Int, some people are up front or in the rear and need to wait to react on their number

BOB Also to only move at your time in the Init

BOB then everyone would be in the order

BOB The wrinkle in that is someone who could go faster will lose that chance, with a spell or a missle weapon

BOB So currently Temperance is up

BOB So Wendy and JTom need to roll Init

Temperance: [INIT] [d10 = 7]

Lirtimya: [INIT] [d10 = 3]

BOB So now we have Rothuss up first

[TURN] Rothuss Carder - [Torch; LIGHT: 10/15 torch; Torch; [D: 30]]

BOB Rothuss is in the back watching

Rothuss Carder has delayed their turn until the end of round.

[TURN] MeLange

BOB no worries Jtom

BOB Now Melange is up,

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 1]

BOB that works

MeLange: let me get out of your way guys

MeLange: tight spaces right!

[TURN] Lirtimya

Levi Reed: So romantic

BOB Lirt can delay until the end or just skip until after Temperance

BOB OR can do what she wants now

[TURN] Jericho - [LIGHT: 15/15 torch; [D: 30]]

[TURN] Levi Reed - [Punching; BSTR: 0]

BOB No to Lemon

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob - how do we do the skip until after Temperance option? is that just a verbal thing, or is there actually a button/menu for doing that?

[TURN] Temperance

Levi Reed: I don't know what those things are, not sure I want to go in there

BOB More of a verbal thing I can always push you along the Init manually or you can delay and drop to the end

Jericho: Do you want to go the other way Levi?

Jericho: Whispers

Levi Reed: I don't know... you ever seen plants like those before?

MeLange: Starting to hope we don't get buried alive down here, know what i mean?

Jericho: I can't get a good look at them

BOB It should be Move, Attack OR cast a spell OR use a skill

BOB but we are not in strict combat right now

Levi Reed: Anyone got a preference? Go in the shroom cave or keep going towards the creaky noise?

BOB so a little looser on using skills

Jericho: May I take a look at the Shrooms Levi? We don't have to go that way, I just want to look

Levi Reed: You can look at whatever you want

Levi Reed: winks

MeLange: Let the man look Levi

Jericho: Rolls eyes, but smiles

Jericho: Hm

MeLange: Look, but don't touch Jericho, still applies!

Jericho: I don't know if my botony skills are up to snuff, but I'm wondering from a medial or poisonous standpoint what these might entail...

MeLange: I mean don't touch, Jericho... Not don't touch Jericho, although you shouldn't touch Jericho

Jericho: [SKILL] Herbalism [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 15]

Jericho: I'm not touching them

Levi Reed: Hey, everyone needs a hug now and then

Jericho: Hm

Levi Reed: Temperance, you recognize these?

MeLange: Don't hug the mushrooms Levi, trust me

Jericho: I can't seem to get a good enough look, and I'm not sure what they are without getting closer. Someone else can take a shot

Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Levi Reed: I meant in terms of touching Jericho, not the mushrooms

Jericho: For hell's Levi and Melange, or ...who started it this time?

MeLange: sure sure

MeLange: you started it Jericho, asking if you could look

Jericho: I did?

Rothuss Carder: What's the problem? They're just mushrooms, right? How dangerous could they be? *adjusts the 40lb plant hanging deadweight around him to a more comfortable position*

Jericho: Oh

Jericho: eyes the plant on Rothuss

Jericho: Dryliy. "Oh yes, what could it possibly do?"

[TURN] Shambling Mound, Young - [(RESIST:cold,piercing,slashing) | (IMMUNE:fire,lightning,bludgeoning)]

Levi Reed: Well, if no one recognizes these things, let's add this to the "maybe" list and come back to it later

MeLange: sounds good to me Levi

Jericho: Nods

MeLange: do you want to take a sample or anything?

Levi Reed: Heck no

Jericho: Fuck no

Levi Reed: Temperance?

Jericho: At the same time as Levi

MeLange: whoa language

MeLange: I don't like what these mushrooms are doing to you

Jericho: Sorry

Jericho: Abashed

Levi Reed: If anyone's going to be messing with dangerous plants, it'll be her

Jericho: I'm really nervous down here

[TURN] Rothuss Carder - [Torch; LIGHT: 10/15 torch; Torch; [D: 30]]

Temperance: It would be beneficial to garner a sample

MeLange: well then let's get out of her way

Levi Reed: You got claustrophobia or something man?

Jericho: Unless it's a mine, I don't like to go into the deep places of the earth

Jericho: Shudders

Rothuss Carder: it's not fungus, it's angrygus.

Rothuss Carder: OO! Cussgus!

Jericho: .....what?

MeLange: Well if claustrophobia means not like tight dark spaces then sure, why not?

Jericho: Oh, he's mocking us

Ropy pillars of fungus grow from ceiling to floor here, ranging from one to four feet in diameter.

Vee Barlett: Only if I get to be on top.

MeLange: I have a shield?

BOB Yes to Lemon lots of talking same as Wendy

BOB just no rolls

Vee Barlett: Well we can always camp here. Just might have company.

Vee Barlett: First Matey, you got cantrips down yet?

MeLange: we could

Levi Reed: Man, I'm not up for exploring a weird box right now. Let's camp, and keep watches, and maybe Ratbone or Matty will come check on us and shut that water off

The time is 7:45 AM

Rothuss Carder: Maybe Levi and I can stretch our plantacles out across the passages to maybe trip up any visitors.

BOB Just pointing out the idea of camping is a 24 hour proposition

Lirtimya: I can cook, I am not very helpful with building anything though

BOB so perhaps regroup next week with new ideas?

Vee Barlett: Nah, cantrip. Them magic tricks with hands?

BOB You have been in four caverns so far to be fair

Rothuss Carder: Should we hole up in the cave we've, hopefully, cleared?

Rothuss Carder: instead of here in the intersection of every single passage we haven't been down yet?

Vee Barlett: Yeah supposin' so unless anyone has ideas how to get out.

Vee Barlett: Or we wait just long enough for Rothuss to try climbin' out

MeLange: nothing comes to mind, mostly just the pain right now

Rothuss Carder: Energy, momentum, and enthusiasm. And *not* this stupid plant.

Rothuss Carder: And we hope a bigger plant thing doesn't show up.

Vee Barlett: Do those plants move....?

Rothuss Carder: These plants did. *waves his fronds*

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: From the wall, nutbrain.

Rothuss Carder: Nutbrain? That's a step up, Cap'n. You're warming to me!

Vee Barlett: Eh. Don't get used to it.

Rothuss Carder: Pretty soon, you won't even get that vein throbbing on your forehead any more.

Levi Reed: That thing never goes away

Levi Reed: At least not while I'm around

Vee Barlett: I ain't got no unsightly throbbing vein. Y'all full of shit. Shut it.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just for clarification, there were more fungal structures lining the wall of that cavern with the baby plant monster, right?

BOB Yes

BOB You did not test them for sentience

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, Mel. You heard the Cap'n. Shut it.

MeLange: No you shut it

Rothuss Carder: shrugs.

Rothuss Carder: I can test it if you want. Just get close enough to see if they start waving around, then back up if they do.

Levi Reed: Temperance DID want to take a sample...

Vee Barlett: Only gonna help you because you ain't hurt. But after that last comment...

BOB and with that I think if you think over the week
