Shislif: Hey Spring and Wendy :)
wyjyoon: Hi Sharif!
wyjyoon: Hi Spring!
Ratbone Carder: cheerful wave
The tunnel down into the caverns winds along a narrow and uneven path, following the river's natural course. Stalactites hang low from the ceiling, and the rock floor is treacherously slippery from the splashing water. The subterranean air has a placid, piercing chill, all too familiar to veteran adventurers. Suddenly, the river-carven tunnel slopes abruptly downward, and just ahead there is the unmistakable sound of a waterfall dashing down to rocks below.

Michael: Apologies. I got held up on the road
Shislif (MeLange): Oh Mel only has 1 wound? If that's the case he can take the lead

MeLange: Nice
Shislif (MeLange): ooc
Michael (Jericho): Apologies, got held up on the road
Michael (Jericho): Where are we?

'wyjyoon' connected
BOB Welcome back Wendy
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm knitting a cardigan for the Prime Minister, so I may be busy somewhat too. :D
BOB SO is that Levi heading in first?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, without the peer pressure to become a mule, I can probably make it. But no guarantees.
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's just a little joke for Carissa when she reads chat
BOB LOL
Shislif (MeLange): is it correct Mel only has 1 wound?
Lemon (Levi Reed): And no, Levi is still almost dead, someone else can take the first hit this time
Spring (Ratbone Carder): :-D
Shislif (MeLange): didn't realize he was that much healed
Michael (Jericho): We "Orisoned" the shit out of the group,
Michael (Jericho): so now I know that...
BOB Mel is barely wounded, Levi is lightly wounded
Shislif (MeLange): yea so Mel can be the tank take the lead
BOB meaning it would take 1 cure light wounds (give or take) to heal him
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is twice as wounded as Mel
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, who healed me? Thank you!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, looking good Rothuss
BOB and you need spells so I do not recomend healing any more right now

[TURN] Levi Reed - [Punching; BSTR: 0 | Torch; LIGHT: 10/15 torch; Torch; [D: 30]]
Michael (Jericho): So people are aware, in prep for this meeting: Spells I have left: 2 Level 1 Spells, 1 Level 2 Spell
BOB Levi and Mel up front is the thought I take it?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I can be wherever y'all want me. Next county over?
BOB HAH
GM: and you need spells so I do not recomend healing any more right now
Michael (Jericho): Let me light a torch ahead of schedule
Lemon (Levi Reed): sorry, eating and barely paying attention. give me aminute
Michael (Jericho): Since I'm juggling tasks
TMO (Rothuss Carder): who is carrying the shield?
Levi Reed has delayed their turn until the end of round.
[TURN] Ratbone Carder
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Are we in combat?
BOB Combat tracker is just there no combat happening
TMO (Rothuss Carder): potentially around a corner
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Well okay then
wyjyoon (Temperance): I think Jericho was the last person who had the shield, right? I'm not too sure who's holding it now though
Jericho: I have it. Does someone else need it right now?
Michael (Jericho): I have it. Does someone else need it right now?
BOB Anyone who has a single weapon can use the buckler to help defend
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I would give it to one of the front liners, personally
Michael (Jericho): Okay. pass it up
Michael (Jericho): Jericho totally wants it back though
Lemon (Levi Reed): I prefer my double machetes though
Michael (Jericho): I don''t show on my inventory, so pass up
Michael (Jericho): Please
BOB Did you see what Carissa wrote about that Michael?
Michael (Jericho): No
Lemon (Levi Reed): Excuse me, we are all here almost dying for Jericho, I don't think he gets to just take whatever he wants lol
BOB I did not add it to anyone's inventory yet
Michael (Jericho): Ok, just give it up
BOB The current question
BOB Levi does not want it so he still gets his two attacks a round
BOB what is Melange using?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, he can, but it's rude, and Levi at least will probably not like him much if he doesn't at least pretend to offer it to others who are ACTUALLY fighting stuff
Shislif (MeLange): back!
Shislif (MeLange): Using for what?
BOB So does Mel like the Battle Axe in one hand?
BOB and the buckler in the other?
Shislif (MeLange): yea sounds fun
BOB Ok will put that in his equipment
Shislif (MeLange): does he have to do something to defend with the shield or is that automatic?
Michael (Jericho): I'm on site, where did carissa post?
Shislif (MeLange): so Battle Axe is a one handed weapon?
BOB So your Battle Axe can be used 1 handed or 2 handed
BOB By using it 1 handed with the magical buckler you get to have an AC of 1
Lemon (Levi Reed): On the OOC page, Michael
BOB Which is easily the best of anyone
Shislif (MeLange): sweet
BOB So Melange up front heading into the caves
BOB then Levi behind
Shislif (MeLange): do we need a torch?
BOB then Ratbone, Temperance, Jericho and Rothuss
BOB Yes you will in a short bit
BOB That is where Mel arrives at the first waterfall
The stream running down the tunnel plunges thirty feet down into a large cavern below. The descent to the cave floor may present a challenge, for the rocks at the edge of the waterfall are extremely slippery.
Shislif (MeLange): no ladder?
BOB No ladder
Lemon (Levi Reed): We're at the first waterfall or the second?
Michael (Jericho): huh. Okay, yeah i'm out on discussing future stuff. All yours. Makes sense, Jericho doesn't fight.
BOB Everyone can make a wisdom check
MeLange: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 19]
Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 12]
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, when we're better equipped, then that sounds like a really cool idea, Michael. I just think right now we're a little squishy
Levi Reed: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 2]
Michael (Jericho): No thats fine, I just don't wanna deal with the debates. Jericho can find another sheidl I'm sure
Ratbone Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 14]
BOB Levi and Temperance both realize that YES there was a fungus ladder here thatn you used to climb down before.... and now it is gone
MeLange: uh oh
MeLange: No mushroom ladder this time
Temperance: frowns at the disappearance of said fungus ladder
MeLange: Think someone came and got rid of it?
Levi Reed: What happened to the shrooms, man?
MeLange: Did you eat them Levi?
Rothuss Carder: Maybe it was a cousing to that thing in the caves and left on its own?
MeLange: Well ladder or ladder, we're here might as well make the best of it
Levi Reed: Nah, but maybe that hobo we ran into ate them
MeLange: Oh yea, he for sure ate some mushrooms
Levi Reed: We do still have rope, so that's good. At least I have mine
MeLange: Nice, let's tie it off somewher and climb down this thing
Shislif (MeLange): Dex check?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): I have rope use. I could make a rope ladder?
BOB Yes to Spring
Ratbone Carder: Hey, do you guys mind if I make a ladder out of that rope?
BOB and Yes to Sharif, if Mel wants to hang out on the edge there definately a dex check
Levi Reed: gives rope to Ratbone
Shislif (MeLange): lol he can take a step back
Ratbone Carder: flourishing gesture of gratitude
Levi Reed: Please do. We don't need any more injuries from climbing
MeLange: Please do, that's a great idea Ratbone
Levi Reed: winks at Jericho
BOB By ladder a rope with several large knots in it to use as hand holds
BOB not a full blown ladder
Rothuss Carder: moves to help Ratbone anchor the rope
MeLange: takes a step back
Temperance: shuffles around to make room for Rothuss
MeLange: feels the heat off Levi's body
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Not really what I had in mind. What about loops?
BOB Your rope is 50 foot long and it is a 30 foot drop
BOB So not a lot of extra for loops or other things
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Not enough length for loops
Michael (Jericho): What rolls are you gonna ask for bob
Michael (Jericho): Dex?
BOB using the rope to help get down? yes dex
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Should I bother rolling rope use? I feel like I could tie a line of knots without a special skill
Michael (Jericho): Can we do loops if we tie two ropes together?
BOB Yes you can tie them, but rope use can do it faster
BOB and perhaps prove it will be longer lasting
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Two ropes together is an idea
Lemon (Levi Reed): We might want another rope for the next waterfall though
Lemon (Levi Reed): How many ropes do we have? Assuming Vee has hers and is unavailable currently
BOB It is on the Party Sheet
Lemon (Levi Reed): I thought the party sheet didn't work
BOB Yes it does
BOB Levi has 1 and Vee has 1
BOB No one else has rope on their sheet
Spring (Ratbone Carder): If that's all of them, then maybe a line of knots it is
wyjyoon (Temperance): I think that might be our best bet if there's another waterfall we have to use rope for
BOB You know there is one in the next cavern
Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]
BOB So yes Ratbone ties in knots to the rope for climbing
Shislif (MeLange): brb refill
BOB Just takes her a bit longer than she likes
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Effect ['Torch;LIGHT: 10/15 torch;Torch'] -> [EXPIRED] [on Levi Reed]
The time is 9:30 AM
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
BOB Does Levi want to go down first? or someone else?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I vote for Mel or Rothuss to go down first
BOB Mel is AFK
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm game
wyjyoon (Temperance): If it's Rothuss he might have to shuffle through some people
TMO (Rothuss Carder): coming through!
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Make way!
Lemon (Levi Reed): I think maybe if there's no trouble in this one, I MIGHT try to sneaky sneak around a little bit before we all head in
BOB So Rothuss needs a Dex check with a plus 4 because of the rope
Rothuss Carder: tests the rope for security
Michael (Jericho): I'm still down with Sneaky Sneaky
Michael (Jericho): if possible
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity [+4] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20-4 = 1]
BOB crushed it
About five feet below the waterfall, a bamboo-like wooden pipe is fed by the flow of water, channeling it around the cavern wall at a height of 25 feet.
Only a small amount of water from the waterfall is actually channeled into the pipe; the waterfall continues unchecked over the pipe, down to the cavern floor.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't think I'm GOOD at it, but I wouldn't mind trying
At the bottom of the waterfall a vast chamber extends into the darkness, echoing with the sound of the waterfall plunging down to the streambed. Drops of water fall occasionally from the stalactites above, glittering in whatever light the party carries.
Lemon (Levi Reed): As long as I'm not too far to shout for help if something attacks
Rothuss Carder: looks around to make sure he's not getting attacked.
Shislif (MeLange): back
BOB Mel going to follow Rothuss down the rope?
Shislif (MeLange): sure
Shislif (MeLange): Dex?
BOB Dex check plus 4
MeLange: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 1]
BOB below the chat is the modifier
Rothuss Carder: Someone want to toss me down a torch? Try to avoid the water, would you?
Shislif (MeLange): oh should i do again?
BOB But he does not need it he just cartwheels down
Temperance: passes a torch up to the front
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Michael (Jericho): Jericho: "You want me to drop it?"
Jericho: Jericho: "You want me to drop it?"
Michael (Jericho): Oh sorry. Temprence got it lol
Temperance: I can't really throw with good aim, so...
Michael (Jericho): (lol. neither can Jericho!)
Rothuss Carder: Just miss the water. We can pick it up from the floor.
Jericho: Gently Drops it down
Jericho: Aims for Rothuss
Jericho: Aims for Rothuss
BOB Roll a to hit on him
TMO (Rothuss Carder): doooo eeeet!!!
Michael (Jericho): Does he get a roll to catch?
Michael (Jericho): What am I rolling
TMO (Rothuss Carder): perhaps. Roll to hit! Do it! :D
BOB your normal to hit, drag which ever you want onto Rothuss
Jericho: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(20)] [ENC: Moderate] [AC: 3 ] [d20-1 = 17]
Shislif (MeLange): nice
BOB That is a hit
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I don't have juggling, so no fancy catch
Shislif (MeLange): ugh
TMO (Rothuss Carder): clumsy dex catch?
BOB Yes Dex to stop it from rolling into the stream
BOB but a plus 6
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 9]
BOB there you go
MeLange: nice catch!
Jericho: whistles softly
Jericho: nice
Rothuss Carder: signals to those up top that he has the torch and turns back to the cavern
MeLange: Good throw Jericho!
Levi Reed: Anything down there?
MeLange: just your mom
At the bottom of the waterfall a vast chamber extends into the darkness, echoing with the sound of the waterfall plunging down to the streambed. Drops of water fall occasionally from the stalactites above, glittering in whatever light the party carries.
Michael (Jericho): lol
Levi Reed: Dang, what's my mom doing here?
Shislif (MeLange): :)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob, two things: 1: does he now have the Light effect? 2: he's had a Cover90 effect for the last 2 weeks, and I don't know why.
MeLange: Just a joke bud, it's fine get down here
Levi Reed: attempts to climb down
BOB He shoudl have the light effect and the cover was from hiding
Levi Reed: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 16]
BOB I will check
BOB and Levi makes it down in one piece
BOB not gracefully but does not fall into the water
Levi Reed: Ouch. I think those rocks scratched my beautiful elbow
Effect ['LIGHT: 15/15 torch'] -> [to Rothuss Carder] [by Ratbone Carder]
MeLange: We all knew those beautiful elbows wouldn't last forever
BOB Rothuss can see the light now
BOB Paradise by the
Shislif (MeLange): just don't walk into the light
Rothuss Carder: waves the torch around to check out the cavern
BOB Blinded by the
Michael (Jericho): LIGHT!
Michael (Jericho): love that song
TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's a little old for you, isn't it?
Shislif (MeLange): an oldy classic though
The southern exit from the cavern is flanked on either side by an extraordinarily ugly plant, each hanging from the cave ceiling as if growing directly from the stone.
Rothuss Carder: Are those things back again??
BOB Yes they are
MeLange: Some crazy plants
Rothuss Carder: Hold up Mel.
BOB Before they leave with your light who is coming on down next?
Levi Reed: No no no, we already snagged that snagglewort
MeLange: ok
Temperance: [CHECK] Dexterity [+4] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 2] [d20-4 = 13]
MeLange: puts his hand in a stop motion
Levi Reed: Ok. Ok. Hear me out. Do you think there's some way to get the sticky snagglewort to hold open the mechanism for the waterfall?
BOB Temperance makes it down
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we'll wait here for everyone to come down that's going to.
BOB Levi
BOB Tar
BOB Rat
BOB Jericho
TMO (Rothuss Carder): RatBONE

BOB so you are almost all in that second cavern
BOB you know the plants on the wall
BOB and you know the door with the knobs you have a key to for this waterfall
Michael (Jericho): Ok. Back at desk. I'm eating, but what's up
Rothuss Carder: Right. So, anyone got a bow or spears we can stab those things without getting close?
Michael (Jericho): Dex check?
BOB Jericho needs a Dex check
Michael (Jericho): or one round behind
BOB BUT
MeLange: So do we think these plants will like... try to attack us?
BOB If he just does the Dex check you leave the rope there behind you
Rothuss Carder: You want to go try it out?
MeLange: Not really
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we want the rope ladder left behind, otherwise we can't get out
Temperance: I used a shortbow last time, I'm not sure how many arrows I have left.
Michael (Jericho): So. Leave it behind guys?
Michael (Jericho): Someone might be able to pull it up, and leave us stranded
Rothuss Carder: that's my vote
TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's my vote
Michael (Jericho): THoughts?
Shislif (MeLange): I'm for leaving it behind just in case
Michael (Jericho): OK
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I see little difference between pulled up or pulled down. either way we can't use it
Spring (Ratbone Carder): We wont have a way to put it back up again if we don't. I presume we are not coming back this way? i forgot what we are doing
Levi Reed: These are the plants that stuck to me and Rothuss last time
Michael (Jericho): So, doing a Dex Check
Lemon (Levi Reed): I think leave it. Otherwise we might not be able to get out again
Jericho: [CHECK] Dexterity [+4] (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 5] [d20-4 = 12]

Michael (Jericho): *usally does hurt?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I stand corrected
wyjyoon (Temperance): *usually does hurt, apparently
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I went and kicked Mini. He's on his way.
BOB Temperance definately realizes and the others are mostly aware, the plants being back, the fungus ladder missing, the movement you remember from yesterday, there is someone(s) living down here taking care of the place
BOB Excellent
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'd reminded him, but he *still* forgot
Michael (Jericho): Let's definitely avoid those damn plants
BOB and yes to Wendy Usually doesn't hurt should be the right thing
Michael (Jericho): They grow on you
Shislif (MeLange): I agree, but seems hard to avoid if we head south
Shislif (MeLange): lol
BOB and yes to Jericho just have to find a way to deal with them as they block the path to the next waterfall
Rothuss Carder: If there's someone down here, there's got to be a trick to getting past these things
Shislif (MeLange): Did we ever try setting them on fire?
Levi Reed: I don't see a way to avoid them
Rothuss Carder: Anybody got any meat?
MeLange: we coud douse em in oil then set them on fire?
Levi Reed: But yes, definitely something...
Michael (Jericho): I got some jeriky
Jericho: I got some jeriky
Jericho: And a couple apples
MeLange: I've got some rations
Rothuss Carder: Let's try the jerky. You want to toss it in, or me?
Michael (Jericho): (Honestly, for all our planning, I never remembered to accound for these damn tihngs)
Jericho: You know, you might be a better throw
Jericho: Sheepishly soaking wet
Jericho: Passes the Jerky
Jericho: Passes the Jerky
Rothuss Carder: wet is still better than sporting 40lbs of plant
TMO (Rothuss Carder): wet is still better than sporting 40lbs of plant
Michael (Jericho): (oh defin)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we hare having fun with modes tonight, aren't we?
Michael (Jericho): (the negatives on those damn things)
Rothuss Carder: takes the jerky, and tosses one piece to the plant on the right.
BOB Hanging snagworts are a strange variety of dungeon plant, a cluster of slime-covered tendrils hanging at the end of a thick, rope-like strand. Within a range of ten feet or so, a snagwort can lash out by swinging its ropy strand.
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we hare having fun with modes tonight, aren't we?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I rolled mine awhile ago, but did not get any info. I will try again
BOB Lirt can make a Dex check
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]
Michael (Jericho): YES!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Nice
wyjyoon (Temperance): Levi using his learned skills well : )
Michael (Jericho): Let's see if Bob has anything
Michael (Jericho): lol
BOB Hanging snagworts are a strange variety of dungeon plant, a cluster of slime-covered tendrils hanging at the end of a thick, rope-like strand. Within a range of ten feet or so, a snagwort can lash out by swinging its ropy strand. If this attack scores a successful hit, the tendrils (which are short, about ten inches long) affix themselves to the target with a strong adhesive. This initial attack causes no damage, but the bond caused by the vegetable glue is virtually unbreakable except by magical means. Once the snagwort is dead, the glue will lose its adhesive properties in 1d6 hours . The dead snagwort, in other words, will still be attached to the character for quite a while, possibly causing great inconvenience and weighing 40 pounds. While the snagwort is alive, it can neutralize the glue at will. Once the snagwort is attached to an opponent, the plant can, in following rounds, smash the victim against nearby surfaces for 1d6 points of damage without needing to make further attack rolls . If a snagwort is being attacked with missile weapons and has no enemies within range, it will flatten itself against a ceiling or behind cover. This will usually give it enough cover to merit a -4 on attack rolls against it. A lone snagwort can be easily killed with missile weapons, provided that the party keeps a safe distance.
BOB Michael still doubts me. shakes my head
Michael (Jericho): What?
Michael (Jericho): I didn't mean that as an asshole
BOB grisn
Michael (Jericho): just it might not have been applicable
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you live in Florida. *Of course* we doubt you!
Michael (Jericho): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): So missile weapons. Like shortbow?
BOB LOL
Michael (Jericho): Throw rocks
Michael (Jericho): Save the ammo
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm throwing jerky
Michael (Jericho): eventually the damn thing will die
wyjyoon (Temperance): If necessary I have a shortbow, just not sure how many arrows I have left
Michael (Jericho): (I never really understood that. Lemon would know better I think)
Shislif (MeLange): Mel could throw a hand axe but rather not waste em
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm finally here
Shislif (MeLange): plus I think he only has one hand axe
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yay, mini!
Michael (Jericho): Hey there!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Hi JTom!
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, most of the arrows we should be able to recover, yes?
Shislif (MeLange): Hey Jtom
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello!
Levi Reed: Unless we do something CRAZY like light them on FIRE but who would do that
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Shislif (MeLange): if we kill em
Shislif (MeLange): no fire arrows?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I used a couple during the watch with the goblin fight, not sure if they were retrieved
Shislif (MeLange): or douse em in oil n throw a torch?
Rothuss Carder: I'm throwing jerky
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have fire spells
BOB Depends on the arrows, it is a check to recover, also based on how/where you shoot them
Michael (Jericho): I mean, eventually rocks "Might" kill them if we all throw a ton
BOB For the goblins I would say no, as they would have either ended up in the goblins or in the stream
wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes
BOB Rothuss is the jerk got it
Shislif (MeLange): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): He's the what now
TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes. definitely
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): The plant tendrils I'm seeing I can probably just burn right?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): does anything happen when he does?
BOB The tendrils do wrap around the jerky
BOB but the large frond does not attack
Rothuss Carder: toss jerky to the other one
Rothuss Carder: dammit
Rothuss Carder: I was hoping they were trained or something
Rothuss Carder: Here, have a treat, don't attack me.
MeLange: Maybe if they're busy with jerky they'll let us pass?
Temperance: Perhaps they're not as well-versed with the give and take
Rothuss Carder: Who guards their house with something that attacks them too?
Rothuss Carder: I wouldn't keep a guard dog that kept trying to bite me too.
Shislif (MeLange): so what are the ranged weapons we have? That seems like the way to go
Rothuss Carder: I'm going to step aside and let the wiser minds take over. Rocks, arrows, fire, what've we got available?
BOB IF you keep jerky in your pockets the dogs will want it,
Levi Reed: I'm not sure about fire... things down here don't seem to be put off by it
Rothuss Carder: Anybody got a spear? We can jab it from out of range maybe.
Michael (Jericho): I think it was quite long reach. Let me scroll back up
BOB Vee is using the back corner to relieve herself so no
Michael (Jericho): 10 feet
Michael (Jericho): We don't have a spear that long
Shislif (MeLange): no spear or no ranged weapons?
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok
Spring (Ratbone Carder): (singing) these damn plants
Ratbone Carder: (singing) these damn plants
Shislif (MeLange): well Mel has a shield, could always try defending the initial attack then Mel attacking
Ratbone Carder: we hates them always this we grants
BOB Jtom mentioned fire spells earlier but this is your first encounter going back in this morning so you should be taking that into account for spell use
Ratbone Carder: these damn plants! we shout! we rants!
MeLange: We should turn em into a salad
Michael (Jericho): Hey guys, like, if we don't want to for a specific reason, but if we are saving ammo and spells, even with a negative 4, if we are all throwing rocks, won't that do "anything?" I mean, if it won't work, I get it, but are we just disregarding it?
Shislif (MeLange): is the slime around the plants either flammable or fire resistant ?
Rothuss Carder: I have another torch, I can try tossing it underneath these things. Maybe that'll drive them back?
MeLange: Give it a shot
Lemon (Levi Reed): Can't hurt to try
Sharif (MeLange): is the slime around the plants either flammable or fire resistant ?
MeLange: At least we'll learn how they react to fire
TMO (Rothuss Carder): look around for some rocks we can use, Michael. It's a good strategy, but only if we can find enough rocks.
BOB Do you have oil in your inventory?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I do not
Michael (Jericho): Is rothuss within ten feet bob?
Shislif (MeLange): unforutnately no
TMO (Rothuss Carder): absolutely not
Spring (Ratbone Carder): no
BOB Ten feet of what Michael?
Michael (Jericho): Of range of the first plant
Michael (Jericho): sorry
BOB no
Michael (Jericho): Ok good.
Jericho: Picks up rock
wyjyoon (Temperance): I think on the party sheet it says Jericho has an oil lamp? I don't know if that'll help anything
Jericho: Throws it
Jericho: Picks up another ROck
Jericho: Throws it
BOB Make your to hit rolls

Jericho: Anyone with a better throw?
MeLange: looks for more rocks
wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind trying
Lemon (Levi Reed): Can we assume there are just a ton of rocks to throw?
Ratbone Carder: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(20)] [ENC: Severe] [AC: 13 ] [d20-4 = 7]
BOB I will say you can gather up 2d12 worth of rocks easily enough
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'll try the torch too. Hope I miss the water.
GM: [2d12 = 14]
Michael (Jericho): Not sure if bob wants to do combat or anyting, so i'm just gonna pick up rocks and throw them. If we all do together, we will get this done fast
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, that seems like not enough rocks for a cave
Ratbone Carder: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(20)] [ENC: Severe] [AC: 7 ] [d20-4 = 13]
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob, what do you want me to roll to toss the torch under the southern plant and not in the water?
BOB make a to hit on the plant
BOB also Spring you did not roll on either of the plants to hit it
wyjyoon (Temperance): Which dice do you have to use again- I keep forgetting
BOB that would have been a hit
MeLange: [2d12 = 22]
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh I didnt realize we had plant characters
Rothuss Carder: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(19)] [d20 = 10]
Attack [10] ->[ATTACK (R)] (Club) [at Plant tendril (Massive)] [Hit-AC: 9 vs. 6 ] [AC: 9 ] [MISS]
BOB BUT also Ratbone is at Severe Encumbrance becasue of wall the stuff she is carrying
BOB They are on the combat tracker
BOB and for Rothuss that is a miss and splash
Rothuss Carder: Drat phooey!
Shislif (MeLange): so roll 2d12 on the combat tracker?
Michael (Jericho): We could first see what the damage wendy did
BOB I already rolled the number of roks
TMO (Rothuss Carder): can I roll 2d12 to hit? I'd like that!
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok
Ratbone Carder: [ATTACKING WHILE OUT OF AMMO]
BOB that would be 14 more chances to hit
Ratbone Carder: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(20)] [ENC: Severe] [d20-4 = 16]

Ratbone Carder: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(20)] [ENC: Severe] [d20-4 = 3]
Attack [3] ->[ATTACK (R)] (Club) [at Plant tendril 2] [Hit-AC: 17 vs. 6 ] [AC: 17 ] [MISS]
BOB but that is ok
wyjyoon (Temperance): Just to clarify, you roll d20 on the combat tracker for attacks, right?
wyjyoon (Temperance): To throw rocks, I mean, if we have any
BOB You drag the weapon attack from your character onto the token on the CT
Michael (Jericho): should look like "1d6 + 1B"
BOB you have 13 more rocks left
Michael (Jericho): or something
Michael (Jericho): Best thrower should be thorwing rocks
BOB That would be your fighters
Michael (Jericho): Yes, I know that
TMO (Rothuss Carder): give a fighter the rocks
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, pretty sure I'm not the best thrower... last time we encountered these guys, I couldn't hit them for anything
Michael (Jericho): I'm trying to suggest without being an ass
Michael (Jericho): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): What stat is throwing based on?
Shislif (MeLange): just be an ass we don't mind
BOB So far only Ratbone has hit one and that was on a natural 20
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we don't actually have a fighter, do we?
Michael (Jericho): HAH!
Michael (Jericho): to Sharif
Michael (Jericho): lol
BOB It is based on a to hit roll
Shislif (MeLange): :)
wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )
Lemon (Levi Reed): I need more information than that to understand whether or not I suck at throwing rocks
MeLange: can I get some rocks and try throwing em too?
BOB there is a pile of 13 rocks left to throw
TMO (Rothuss Carder): my thaco is 19
BOB You drag a weapon attack to the token you are attacking
BOB Just like every other attack everyone has made over the last three years
MeLange: grabs a handful of rocks from the pile
Michael (Jericho): I don't think that's the questino bob, I think we are simply trying to figure otu who has the best chance of "hitting" them.
Michael (Jericho): TMO i'm sure gets that
BOB You will not know until you actually ROLL YOUR ATTACK
Michael (Jericho): OK
Shislif (MeLange): would the rocks show up in inventory or in Actions?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we're having one of those evenings, aren't we? sigh
BOB OK let me be very clear
BOB ROLL YOUR ATTACK
Michael (Jericho): Yeah, I'm kinda having a debbie downer moment
Shislif (MeLange): well we are being held up by a couple plants...
Michael (Jericho): We understand that bob.
Michael (Jericho): Some people have better odds to hit
BOB apprarnetly not
Lemon (Levi Reed): Exactly
Michael (Jericho): We are simply triny to compare stats
Shislif (MeLange): but there's no rocks for me to throw in my character sheet?
BOB as ONLY spring has rolled an attack
Lemon (Levi Reed): Who has the best odds
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah because we don't want to waste rocks
Shislif (MeLange): it's a cave there aren't a bunch of rocks around everywhere?
Lemon (Levi Reed): is it based on Thac0, whatever that is?
Rothuss Carder: The Question is: What is your Thaco?
Rothuss Carder: The Question is: What is your Thaco?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh I didn't realize
TMO (Rothuss Carder): The Question is: What is your Thaco?
Lemon (Levi Reed): 18
BOB ALL ATTACKS are based on Thac0
Shislif (MeLange): what is Thaco?
BOB That is what THAC0 is
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok (pretends to understand)
Spring (Ratbone Carder): It stands for To Hit AC 0 and it's the calculation for hitting
Lemon (Levi Reed): Girl, same. (To Sharif)
Shislif (MeLange): lol Lemon :)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Levi - you have the best so far
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you throw the rocks
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, so mine is 18. What do I roll for hitting with? Just normal machete roll?

BOB and yes that kills the second one too
BOB that was over 20 minutes of pitching rocks
Temperance: pats the dust off the hands
BOB smiles
TMO (Rothuss Carder): for a second there I thought you meant the second torch just went out... :P
Lemon (Levi Reed): Honestly, absolutely worth it not to get glued again
Temperance: hands Levi a waterskin
BOB I agree
Levi Reed: thanks!
Levi Reed: takes a drink
BOB But now can Levi throw the curve?
wyjyoon (Temperance): He's a baseball pitcher now lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): His arm is going to be so sore tomorrow
Rothuss Carder: Alright! Here we go!
Levi Reed: Ok, let's see if we can hack off some of that and shove it in the door to keep it open?
Levi Reed: Anyone?
BOB Hit the bull win a steak dinner
Levi Reed: My arm needs a rest
Temperance: I don't think a small dagger would do the trick for those things
MeLange: I could give it a hack with my axe, but somebody gotta carry the torch
Levi Reed: Rothuss, didn't your knives do some solid damage last time?
The tunnel drops precipitously down to a lower elevation, falling about thirty feet through a very narrow channel. There is no gap on either side of the water, and only about two feet of clearance in the channel that is not filled with rushing, gurgling water. On one side of the tunnel there is a round wooden indentation, like a door, and on the other side there is a small keyhole.
Temperance: I can carry the torch if you want
MeLange: thanks
MeLange: hands torch to Temperance
Temperance: receives torch
Rothuss Carder: I don't really wanna touch them.
Rothuss Carder: Had quite enough of them already.
Rothuss Carder: I can loan you my sabre though
MeLange: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(18)] [d20+1 = 17]
Attack [17] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Battle Axe) [at Plant tendril 2] [Hit-AC: 1 vs. 6 ] [AC: 1 ] [HIT]
BOB Who has the key?
Shislif (MeLange): well if true love is the key...
Ratbone Carder: frisking self
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm guessing it's Vee, because that's how this whole trip has been. :)
BOB LOL
Lemon (Levi Reed): Nah, I think it's Ratbone
Lemon (Levi Reed): We gave her the key to let us up last time
wyjyoon (Temperance): With the rope up a waterfall?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yas!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie, just checking my memory cells : )
BOB Yes but that was the other waterfall
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but she still has the key
BOB this is the one with the key to the door that diverts it
Spring (Ratbone Carder): someone gave ME a key?
BOB and yes she does have the key
Spring (Ratbone Carder): I do?
Ratbone Carder: well here you go then
TMO (Rothuss Carder): glad you're here tonight! :D
Ratbone Carder: hands over key
Ratbone Carder: was i the designated driver? because, sorry, i drank
BOB If the key is used, the round door will open, diverting the waterfall through a side channel. The door re-closes itself automatically after 1 hour, forcing the waterfall back into its normal channel.
Concealed by the waterfall's flow, there is a wooden-runged ladder, apparently formed by natural growth of roots, leading down the cliff face where the waterfall normally flows. It is easy to descend this ladder.
Ratbone Carder: you would think i'd remember a key like that
Levi Reed: Stcik some stupid plant pieces in there or something. See if we can keep it open
Rothuss Carder: Rocks
Levi Reed: And... maybe someone should stay up here with the key, just in case
There is another small keyhole at the bottom of the waterfall.
Lemon (Levi Reed): omg
Lemon (Levi Reed): we're so dumb and I just can't anymore
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we aren't *supposed* to be pros at this, you know. :)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we're kids
wyjyoon (Temperance): 17 to 18
Lemon (Levi Reed): I know, but like... ooc I'm also dumb at this
TMO (Rothuss Carder): we're just roleplaying, right??
BOB Yes pretending to not understand
Shislif (MeLange): Hey Lemon you'r the one that did the rock thing, doesn't seem very dumb to me
Lemon (Levi Reed): I was always shit at text-based adventures, just for everyone's knowledge. Used to really want to to do those old MS-DOS ones on the giant floppies, but I failed instantly all the time
Rothuss Carder: looks over the edge to see if there's anything waiting at the bottom of the waterfall for him.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I didn't even come up with the rock idea though, lol. I was just the muscle.
BOB Nothign visible from up here
wyjyoon (Temperance): We'll figure it out together : ) That's half the fun
BOB you know that it goes down into that pool
Rothuss Carder: Alright, I'll go check it out.
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.
Rothuss Carder: takes his torch and goes down the ladder
wyjyoon (Temperance): By the way, who did Ratbone hand the key to?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): i wasn't looking. who took it?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll just say Temperance has it, then
wyjyoon (Temperance): Just don't let me forget : )
Spring (Ratbone Carder): you could put it on your inventory?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): anything come to ambush us immediately?
BOB and with Ratbone down the ladder Temperance can change the waterfall back to normal
BOB nothing visible except these trees
Lemon (Levi Reed): Omg, yes, let's give it to temperance. She's currently the most reliable of all of us, which should honestly put us all to shame.
TMO (Rothuss Carder): trees???
BOB Wood/Trees
BOB Like you are in the middle of a very large tree
Temperance: changes the waterfall back to normal
TMO (Rothuss Carder): apparently I missed that description last time
BOB the water flows around it
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll just put it in my notes for now that Temperance has it. I'm stiill figuring out how to do things on FG
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I also missed the description last time of the keyhole at the bottom of the waterfall
Effect ['Torch;LIGHT: 10/15 torch;Torch'] -> [EXPIRED] [on MeLange]
The time is 10:00 AM
Levi Reed: Y'all, if we had the key this whole time, how did the person taking care of this place get up there to clean up our fungus ladder?
Rothuss Carder: (quietly) Which way do we want to go? Back the way we've been before?
BOB Levi did not even need a wisdom check for that
Rothuss Carder: Dupe key, I guess.
MeLange: maybe he's got a copy? Or we have a copy?
Rothuss Carder: Or magic
MeLange: or magic
Rothuss Carder: I bet you we have the spare key you keep under a rock in your garden.
BOB brb restroom as you decide you DID go to the "west"
TMO (Rothuss Carder): i *DID* remember we went west! I remembered something!
Levi Reed: And no, I don't think the way we went before is the way. For some reason I just have this gut feeling that "easty" is the "beasty"
Shislif (MeLange): so we've already been West? so do south and east?
Levi Reed: But I could be wrong!
Levi Reed: I am so often wrong
Levi Reed: Anyone tells Vee I said that, and I will cut you with one of her knives while she sleeps
MeLange: at least you own your mistakes buddy
Rothuss Carder: So not west, not east. South then?
MeLange: I think that'd be something Vee would like to see
Levi Reed: Oh, I meant Beasty in a good way, but I'm open to whatever
Rothuss Carder: East then
BOB b
Temperance: East it is, then.
MeLange: Yea I'm good with east, unless we want to split into two groups and do both
Rothuss Carder: Any way is as good as any other way.
Lemon (Levi Reed): So when we were outside of the cave, the temple was north?
Lemon (Levi Reed): West seemed to also take us "south" so maybe we're trying to find the branch that takes us "north"?
Shislif (MeLange): I like that idea
Shislif (MeLange): east does head kinda north
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean... it could be a super wrong idea, but I appreciate the vote of confidence
Shislif (MeLange): hey sometimes leadership is making a decision and hoping for the best
Lemon (Levi Reed): I was thinking about doing a sneaky sneak, but without a torch I won't see anything, right? And with a torch, the sneaky sneak is pointless?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Considering the motto of this party is trust the process, that sounds pretty accurate Sharif
Shislif (MeLange): true true, need that night vision
TMO (Rothuss Carder): depending on how generous the DM is
Lemon (Levi Reed): God, I was trusting the process all week this week
Lemon (Levi Reed): In life.
BOB smiles
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh same Lemon same
Levi Reed: Keep up ladies!
TMO (Rothuss Carder): cat walking down the passage, sorta ready to get jumped at any point. (no, he doesn't have sneakery)
Rothuss Carder: cat walking down the passage, sorta ready to get jumped at any point. (no, he doesn't have sneakery)
Shislif (MeLange): can i roll alertness?
Several large objects hang from the fifteen-foot high ceiling of this chamber.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Let's all try to stay on like... our right? so that someone can sneak through the left if needed?

BOB For a moment they will be mistaken for human bodies, but it will soon become clear that they are some sort of pod-like plant growth hanging by short, thick stems from the ceiling.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry but did you tailor-make this cave for me?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Also my botany roll was pretty good, hint hint
Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]
BOB The objects hanging from the ceiling are pod-like plant growth hanging by short, thick stems. There are 20 of these man-sized pods, each measuring about six feet from top to bottom and about four feet in circumference. All but two of them seem to have split open from top to bottom along a seam, revealing a slime-coated interior. The entire room smells unpleasantly of rotting fish.
Levi Reed: ... anyone got a rock?
Rothuss Carder: Anyone else nervous about those?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I was the one gathering them... do I have one?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Charlie Brown has a bunch of them
MeLange: raises hand
Levi Reed: Should I try to hit one with a rock or...? Anyone got any better ideas?
BOB Levi would know what a pleasantly smell of rotting fish would be like
Rothuss Carder: Skirt along the edges of the cave and just get through it without bothering anyone?
Lemon (Levi Reed): We live on an island. I assume we all know the smell of rotting fish.
Levi Reed: I mean, yeah, sure, there's always the boring way
MeLange: Yea, I'm thinking whatever comes out of those pods isn't going to be friendly with us
Levi Reed: After you
BOB This is an unplesant smell so there must be a pleasant one?
Rothuss Carder: Left/north?
Levi Reed: Sure, why not
MeLange: follow the path?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Isn't that water?
BOB I will give Mel a wisdom check
BOB yes also that is a stream of water
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): wisdom cheeeeck
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I do not walk under any of these pod things, I just want to make that VERY clear
Lemon (Levi Reed): do ittttt
MeLange: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 2]
Shislif (MeLange): nice
wyjyoon (Temperance): Cool beans!
-> MeLange: 20 man sized pods and all but two are split open and empty.......
MeLange: 20 man sized pods and all but two are split open and empty...
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah so there's either 18 slimy pod creatures about to come at us bro, or we're about to awaken 2 slimy pod creatures (said in a very quiet voice)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, I did not interpret that as 'empty' earlier. I read them as split and ready to hatch
Levi Reed: Yeah so there's either 18 slimy pod creatures about to come at us bro, or we're about to awaken 2 slimy pod creatures (said in a very quiet voice)
Temperance: grasps one of her small daggers just in case
Levi Reed: readies machedes
Rothuss Carder: So glad I hooked up with you guys.
Rothuss Carder: Always something new.
BOB Rothuss can get a wisdom check now
Rothuss Carder: Left/east, or follow the water south?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I appreciate your faith in him
Levi Reed: I mean, I feel like let's just go left until we can no longer go left
TMO (Rothuss Carder): why won't the dice stay in the box?
Levi Reed: Whether because of dead ends or dead friends
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 16]
BOB Nah
BOB It was nothign
Levi Reed: Anyone else feel like that smell doesn't make sense down here?
Rothuss Carder: sabre drawn, move east
Temperance: scrunches her nose in distaste
Rothuss Carder: What do pod plants normally smell like?
Levi Reed: I don't know... plants?
Levi Reed: I haven't yet met a plant that smelled like fish... unless
Levi Reed: it was
Levi Reed: carnivorous
Temperance: Considering our encounters, I wouldn't put it past that
Levi Reed: We might be the flies in this trap
Temperance: looks around cautiously
Rothuss Carder: buzz buzz
Rothuss Carder: lurks behind the corner and peeks around it
Lemon (Levi Reed): Just a reminder, we are all keeping to the right as much as possible so people can squeeze through if necessary
BOB Rothus can make a dex check
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]

Lemon (Levi Reed): The worst superhero
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I very much am
Temperance: raises an eyebrow in mild concern
BOB Rothuss stumbled because the passageway is sloping downward more
BOB That is his story
TMO (Rothuss Carder): absolutely!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is down a good direction or bad direction for us? Anyone want to guess?

MeLange: maybe sometimes
Shislif (MeLange): nice!
wyjyoon (Temperance): The rolls though wow
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's what HAPPENS when you smelt the dice five time in a night!
BOB Levi says yes you are definately moving down a slope deeper, might not have noticed it before but now you can tell
Rothuss Carder: only if the food is rotten or the beer is too much.
Levi Reed: We're not dead yet, let's keep going I guess
Rothuss Carder: On my way.
Temperance: nods, attempting to remember the way to this Temple

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Trail Marking [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 3]

The time is 10:10 AM
Levi Reed: You know what they say. All caves lead to south.
The floor of this chamber is covered thickly with small, bulb-headed mushrooms.
Rothuss Carder: Plant people! We got shrooms
Temperance: squints at the mushrooms
Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Levi Reed: These guys aren't poisionous. Or venomous. Probably
BOB Ratbone can say that nothing is followign you right now
Rothuss Carder: Will they try to eat me?
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]
MeLange: Good enough for me
Levi Reed: Very unlikely
Rothuss Carder: Cool
Ratbone Carder: Nothing's following us right now
Rothuss Carder: I think we're sweeping back around.
Levi Reed: That's fine, we'll at least be able to rule out this part of the cavern
BOB For Rothuss and Levi as they enter the cavern
BOB If any of these are crushed (by walking through them, for example), they will ooze a sticky paste of spores that instantly begins to glow with a cheerful yellow color.
Levi Reed: Cuuuuute
Rothuss Carder: backs up as soon as he bumps one
Spring (Ratbone Carder): sigh, i can't stay awake
BOB any person walking through the mushrooms will end up with a pair of softly-glowing boots.
Shislif (MeLange): oh that's cool
Lemon (Levi Reed): as long as you gave temperance the key, go sleep
Spring (Ratbone Carder): I have to go. have fun yall
Levi Reed: Nice, we could use this to see in the caves maybe!
BOB Take care of your self Spring, when you get back you will have yellow boots
TMO (Rothuss Carder): good night!
'Spring' disconnected
wyjyoon (Temperance): Sleep well Spring!
Shislif (MeLange): Later Spring!
wyjyoon (Temperance): And yes Temperance has the key still
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight!
Levi Reed: I wonder how long it lasts for
Levi Reed: Any idea, Temp?
Rothuss Carder: I'm more worried if it's safe.
Levi Reed: I told you it wasn't poisionous!
Levi Reed: Or venomous. Probably.
MeLange: Well still let's not lick our boots, just to be safe
MeLange: looks at Levi
Temperance: scrunches her brows deep in thought
Rothuss Carder: You didn't say it would glow either.
Levi Reed: But look at that cute cheerful yellow!
MeLange: does look tasty...
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is this an ok time to get a coffee? I don't want to abandon the group but... I just need a couple minutes
Temperance: Usually when animals, fungi or plants have bright colors it's one of two things
Shislif (MeLange): go for it Lemon!
BOB Yes to Lemon
Shislif (MeLange): decaf?
Rothuss Carder: carefully tiptoes past the mushrooms toward the exit.
Temperance: One, they want to attract other creatures to spread pollen
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Temperance: Or two, they serve as warning signs
BOB Dex check for Rothuss at a minue 8
Levi Reed: Or this is like, their blood
MeLange: Follow Rothuss
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity [-8] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20-8 = -1]
BOB WOW
TMO (Rothuss Carder): is that modifier the right direction?
BOB so yes he manages to not get anymore on his boots
TMO (Rothuss Carder): that was an 8 point bonus, but I think you meant it as a penalty
BOB Correct
BOB so no he has more on his boots
BOB pretty yellow glowing boots
TMO (Rothuss Carder): he would have failed by 1 then
-> Rothuss Carder: A huge stone face is carved into the wall where the tunnel widens out.
MeLange: Maybe we should follow Rothuss?
Temperance: nods, glancing at the bright yellow walking away in the dark
-> Rothuss Carder: The carving's mouth is a hole that opens to a narrow tunnel beyond. It is not difficult to climb through the mouth, for the bottom lip is only three feet up the wall.
Rothuss Carder: *peeks through the mouth*
-> Rothuss Carder: Looks like a tunnel about 4 foot wide, have to climb up and into it
wyjyoon (Temperance): brb refill
Rothuss Carder: waits for the others.
BOB So everyone has pretty yellow glowing boots now
Rothuss Carder: (quietly) Hey, look at this.
A huge stone face is carved into the wall where the tunnel widens out.
MeLange: hey cool
Rothuss Carder: The other passage is right through here.
BOB The carving's mouth is a hole that opens to a narrow tunnel beyond. It is not difficult to climb through the mouth, for the bottom lip is only three feet up the wall.
MeLange: hmm interesting
Rothuss Carder: Go through, or back around?
MeLange: Go through, we've come too far
Levi Reed: Go through. I don't really want to disturb the pod people
Rothuss Carder: Got it.
Temperance: nods in assent, glancing down at everyone's glowing yellow footwear
Rothuss Carder: climbs through, keeping clear of the flaming part of his torch
The time is 10:20 AM
Lemon (Levi Reed): I can't seeeeee
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you have glowy feet!
wyjyoon (Temperance): The neon yellow boots should help : ) If not a little
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ohhhh, ok, so it goes under the water or over?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Like I get that it's a different passage
Lemon (Levi Reed): But over or under
BOB You would need a check for that
Lemon (Levi Reed): Subway or L train
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Direction Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 12]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you're more perceptive than me! I didn't realize it was a different pasaage
Lemon (Levi Reed): Occasionally I don't suck at this game. It's rare
BOB Levi can tell that the passagway was sloping down down down then you went back UP by going into the mouth
TMO (Rothuss Carder): none of us suck at it. we just have different strengths. and luck with the dice. :)
Shislif (MeLange): I'll not have us bad mouthing Lemon
Lemon (Levi Reed): So... subway or L train?
Shislif (MeLange): including Lemon :)
BOB So his best guess is you are slightly lower than you were before? but hard to tell
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, thanks
Levi Reed: I think we're going deeper
Levi Reed: Anyone else feel it?
Rothuss Carder: Caves is caves to me, man.
Lemon (Levi Reed): anyone want to try obs?
MeLange: Even if we're going deeper, we should still move forward i think
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]
BOB There are two ways other than going back
MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 7]
Levi Reed: Oh yeah, agree. I'm not giving up on this course until Vee catches up and tells me to stop being an idiot
Temperance: cracks a small smile at the comment
Rothuss Carder: Why do you listen to her? Be the idiot you want to be.
BOB west or east, west is wider east is very narrow like 2 to 3 foot narrow turn and squeeze through narrow
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Shislif (MeLange): I say we go the narrow east
Levi Reed: You've met her, man. Sometimes it's just easier to do what she wants
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well ok then. You first lol
Rothuss Carder: Up to you.
MeLange: hmmm what's down this way
Rothuss Carder: Want me to go first, or do you wnat the torch?
Temperance: It's a rather tight squeeze
MeLange: Spelunking baby
Rothuss Carder: hands off the torch before he goes thru
MeLange: sorry about the 'baby'
Lemon (Levi Reed): The thing that was chasing us was big, so probably didn't come from this way. But who knows what other fun horrors could be in here!
MeLange: felt wrong as soon as I said it
Levi Reed: I liked it
Levi Reed: Oh, wait, were you not talking to me?
Levi Reed: Nevermind
MeLange: chuckles
MeLange: From now on, you're my only baby Levi
MeLange: oh great another fork in the road
MeLange: caves are so confusing
Levi Reed: I mean, I'm not ready for that level of commitment right now, but I'm flattered
MeLange: Sure thing baby, you take your time
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Trail Marking [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 7]
MeLange: I see a stream to the east
Lemon (Levi Reed): Just trying to keep marking so we can find our way out
wyjyoon (Temperance): Good idea
Levi Reed: easty is the beasty!
MeLange: Other path goes south
Levi Reed: easty peasty
MeLange: ok
Levi Reed: Levi squeezy
Rothuss Carder: Wait up for the rest to catch up
MeLange: yup the stream continues here
Rothuss Carder: keeps an eye on the south passage
Rothuss Carder: keeps an eye on the south passage
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well that was a fun circle
Levi Reed: Does it open up up there, or still claustrophobia central?
MeLange: oh it opens up
Rothuss Carder: Okay, they're caught up
Levi Reed: Fantastic
MeLange: let me get out of the way of the passage though
Levi Reed: I mean, not that I'm claustrophobic, but surely one of us is
Levi Reed: That seems to be how we work
Temperance: I don't hear any heavy breathing or signs of panic, so I assume we're all alright for the most part?
Rothuss Carder: tests dipping his boot into the stream to see if it washes away the glow
MeLange: for now, at least
Levi Reed: Sometimes heavy breathing is good
MeLange: means you're gettinga good workout
BOB The glow does not seem to disapate
Levi Reed: ... sure
Rothuss Carder: or really good sex.
MeLange: Are any of us having really good sex right now?
Levi Reed: Are you asking or offering?
MeLange: chuckles
MeLange: let's see what else we have here first
Rothuss Carder: follows Mel
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]
MeLange: ok another fork in the road, we can head south or follow the stream east again?
Rothuss Carder: Easty beasty has been working, I guess
MeLange: plus sticking close to water seems like a good idea generally speaking
Levi Reed: Working as well as anything else. We're not almost dead yet!
MeLange: ok lets do it
Levi Reed: trust the easty beasty process
Rothuss Carder: Want me to lead again?
MeLange: continues to follow the stream eastward
MeLange: up to you Rothuss, I don't mind

Rothuss Carder: passes
Temperance: Do you guys hear that?
Rothuss Carder: hear what?
Rothuss Carder: pauses
MeLange: gets out of the way
-> Levi Reed: A low, angry muttering sound
Temperance: It sounds like a muttering of sorts
Levi Reed: Sounds like someone is kind of angry...
Levi Reed: Or something
Rothuss Carder: Which way?
MeLange: well uh oh
Temperance: From the West
Levi Reed: I swear if it's fucking goblins again...
MeLange: I'll take goblins over plants
Rothuss Carder: that could be why they're breathing heavy
Levi Reed: Great, so easty beasty it is
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
MeLange: think they'r having sex?
Rothuss Carder: moves past Mel
Temperance: shrugs
MeLange: makes way for Rothuss to pass
TMO (Rothuss Carder): woah! What was the big blue circle??
Levi Reed: How you holding up Lirt? You've been awful quiet this morning
Rothuss Carder: peeks around the corner
Shislif (MeLange): yea I was wondering about hte blue circle as well
Temperance: glances at the navigator

wyjyoon (Temperance): Dunno why though
Shislif (MeLange): magic thing?
BOB Levi can make a spelunlking check
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Spelunking [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 7) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 4]
BOB Levi reaches out and grabs Rothuss
Lemon (Levi Reed): godmodding
BOB Just another couple of feet in front of him the water starts moving a lot quicker
Lirtimya: I'm just observing and listening, I'm not used to cave diving, just normal diving
BOB which tells Levi that the slope DROPS quickly
Levi Reed: Watch out Rothuss... looks like a big drop coming up
Temperance: I'm not too accustomed to caves myself.
Rothuss Carder: Well... plunging into the depths or go back?
Levi Reed: If you think you can get up there to see if it's dangerous without falling and killing yourself, then go for it
BOB Down
Levi Reed: But no sense in risking a life if we don't know this is where we need to go
Rothuss Carder: When have I ever backed down?
Rothuss Carder: grins
Lemon (Levi Reed): yeah yeah, up, down, sometimes it's all the same.
Rothuss Carder: going slow and careful, one step at a time.
Shislif (MeLange): we could tie some rope around our waists like climbers
BOB Dex check at a minus 4
Lemon (Levi Reed): We're out of rope
Temperance: mumbles a small prayer
TMO (Rothuss Carder): -4 penalty?
Lemon (Levi Reed): But otherwise that's a great idea lol
BOB Correct
Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 13]
Shislif (MeLange): ah bummer
BOB WHOOOOOOSHHHHH
Shislif (MeLange): nice
TMO (Rothuss Carder): it didn't take the penalty, so failure
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok not so nice then
TMO (Rothuss Carder): 4d6, 6 times, right?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Did he die?
BOB smiles with TMO
BOB Rothuss disapeared
Shislif (MeLange): probably just like a fun slide
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Me? Die? Perish the thought!
BOB You hear a slight startled sound then nothing
Levi Reed: Well
Levi Reed: I mean
Levi Reed: We can't just leave him
Levi Reed: probably
MeLange: Well it would be quite rude to leave him
-> Rothuss Carder: Swimming check
Levi Reed: So we... um... follow?
MeLange: go on Levi, we're right behind ya
Temperance: looks a bit conflicted, but nods in assent nonetheless
Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]
Levi Reed: Or... find a safer way to wherever he is?
MeLange: that would take time, he could be in trouble now
Levi Reed: Sure but so could we all if we fall down there...
MeLange: at least Rothuss would break our fall
MeLange: chuckles
-> Rothuss Carder: The tunnel drops suddenly down to a deep pool fifty feet below, the river pouring over the edge in a fast-moving torrent. A few jagged rocks jut out from the stream just before the water tips over the edge.
Levi Reed: You make a good point... ok, you go first, and shout back up to us if you land ok
Temperance: I don't particularly want him to break our fall by breaking his back
MeLange: Ok
MeLange: I'll yell first just in case
MeLange: make way Levi
Rothuss Carder: shouts back, "Long drop. deep pool!"
Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, i apologize in advance if I just led us all to death
MeLange: Coming down Rothuss!!! Make way!
Shislif (MeLange): it was a group decision
Shislif (MeLange): Dexterity?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Dead end or dead friends, as you said
BOB shouts back, "Long drop. deep pool!"
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean... yeah but...
MeLange: Ok Thanks!
Lemon (Levi Reed): I did convince everyone of easty beasty
BOB You can just sit and slide if you want
Shislif (MeLange): it is a good rhyme :)
Temperance: mumbles a small prayer again
BOB Or you can make a Dex check at a minus 4 to try to stay up
Lemon (Levi Reed): Dang, you were right! It IS a slide!
Shislif (MeLange): sit on his bottom to slide down like Michael Douglas in that movie
Levi Reed: follows MeLange down the waterslide
MeLange: sit on his bottom to slide down like Michael Douglas in that movie
Lemon (Levi Reed): sitting please
Temperance: Lirtimya, are you alright back there?
Shislif (MeLange): Not Jewel of the Nile, the first one
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm saving my dex check for when I really need it
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Romancing the Stone
Shislif (MeLange): yea that one thanks Tmo
Rothuss Carder: moves over to a rock to sit on

MeLange: Yea it's fun 80s Robert Zemekis move
Shislif (MeLange): movie
Levi Reed: Man, Vee is going to hate this SO much
Shislif (MeLange): can't see us anymore

TMO (Rothuss Carder): got it
BOB Ok so you are in a pool, no land to crawl out on
TMO (Rothuss Carder): there were some rocks you mentioned. able to be climbed on?
Lemon (Levi Reed): There has to be land SOMEWHERE
BOB There is the slippery slide to try to climb back up or you can go over the unknown waterfall
Shislif (MeLange): darn
Lemon (Levi Reed): oh
TMO (Rothuss Carder): OH, I thought we went down the waterfall already. totally missed that
BOB and Yes everyone except Melange has a leech attached to them now
Shislif (MeLange): there must be a shore somewhere
Levi Reed: Um... anyone got any vines we can grab onto?
Rothuss Carder: I left mine behind yesterday
MeLange: not that I'm complaining, but why doesn't Mel have leeches? is it racism?
BOB Luck
Carissa: (hi all, don't mind me, just here for a short bit)
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Shislif (MeLange): nice
BOB and LOL with Carissa
Carissa: not sure if I should ask about the leechs so...
Shislif (MeLange): Hi Carissa! Lemon was missing you :)
BOB You do not want to be in teh leech pool too?
Rothuss Carder: braced against the wall.
Carissa: nope
Lemon (Levi Reed): I really don't feel like it should count for attendance unless she DOES something...
Rothuss Carder: How are there leeches here? Why aren't they over the edge of the waterfall?
BOB Corect she will be interacting
Carissa: Vee waves at you from not the leech pit.
Levi Reed: We can't see you if you're not in the leech pit
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Carissa: last week I gave them a canoe so... this week I take it back? Done!
Lemon (Levi Reed): The leech pit is the only thing around at the moment
Shislif (MeLange): so I guess we just swiming around the pool until we find some sort of shore? But on the map still looks more like a river/stream than a pool
Beyond the pool, the tunnel begins to slope down more and more. The tunnel is choked with stalagmites and stalactites, and in places becomes so narrow that the adventurers will need to move in single file.
Vee Barlett: Yeah yeah. I was tryin' to find where y'all put my canoe.
Rothuss Carder: Feet against one wall, back against the other, back up the slide?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (my map is darkness)
MeLange: so slippery, is that a real option?
Levi Reed: I don't know, man, I am so reticent to go backwards after coming all this way...
MeLange: Yea I agree Baby
Temperance: Everyone except Melange also has a leech attached to them...so I'm not sure how it would affect our strength for climbing.
Levi Reed: swoons
Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm here for this
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, leeches can't be THAT dangerous in the short term...
Rothuss Carder: We can go into the pool down below if you want to. Not sure how we'll get back, but I'm sure there's a way.
Levi Reed: Or we just live here now
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ignoring the swamp leeches, they ARE used in medicine so it's probably fineee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (but again, Bob, is there a map?)
Rothuss Carder: Okay. I'll go first then. (will oocly give Vee time to yell at us first if she wants to)
Lemon (Levi Reed): they are used in old medicine where people used to die all the time...
Shislif (MeLange): I'm pretty sure leeches are just like medicine
Vee Barlett: too busy trying to figure out where you all put her canoe to yell at you all.
Shislif (MeLange): See Lemon gets it
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you need the Lower Level of Caves map, Carissa
wyjyoon (Temperance): I think they were used for blood clots? Or bloodletting? Maybe? Not too versed in this
Carissa (Vee Barlett): aka Carissa hasn't caught up enough to know if she needs to yell at you so now's your chance!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): thanks TMO
Carissa (Vee Barlett): bloodletting because their saliva prevents clots
Image: Lower level of caves
Carissa (Vee Barlett): medical leeches exist and are sometimes used in surgeries in modern times
Shislif (MeLange): on my map Vee is at the front of the line
Carissa (Vee Barlett): as are maggots, but you all don't want nightmares beyond this one so I'll stop there
TMO (Rothuss Carder): (shall I push her? :D )
Lemon (Levi Reed): wow, I just googled it and I hate everything about this, thanks
Carissa (Vee Barlett): why is she up front when I don't know what's going on??
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL sorry Lemon should have told you not to do that
wyjyoon (Temperance): We all kind of ended up scrambled
wyjyoon (Temperance): after going down that water slide thingy
Shislif (MeLange): Think we got a solid line going
Vee Barlett: continues forward
Vee Barlett: ?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ooc)
Shislif (MeLange): whoa my map be trippin
Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh good not just me
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think he's trying to align the grids
Carissa (Vee Barlett): thought I messed something up
BOB Sorry tryign to fix the map it got to half size
BOB Just one moment
Levi Reed: Wait, Vee's finally here! We have the other rope!
Vee Barlett: Why ya want my rope? Y'all keep losing it.
Vee Barlett: AND MY CANOE.
MeLange: ownership isn't real man, it's just a figment of our imagination
Vee Barlett: That's how ya get stabbed.
This waterfall is not steep at all, but it leads into a pool that covers the entire floor of the passage below.
MeLange: laughs
Vee Barlett: You don't gotta own your stuff, but I own mine.
MeLange: Doesn't take much
Temperance: The cave was a bit of a tight squeeze, it was hard to bring it in with us.
Vee Barlett: Truth.
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 4]
Vee Barlett: Ya know, the dried blood on yer face kinda makes a cool lookin' tattoo, Levi.
Shislif (MeLange): seems like there's a spot with stripes down the stream
Levi Reed: You know what would look good on you? A few more leeches
Shislif (MeLange): brb refill
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Vee Barlett: You can keep 'em. Might keep the blood rushin' the wrong places.
Levi Reed: But my rope is up top hanging at the entrance because our fungal ladder disappeared
Lemon (Levi Reed): maybe ooc, idk
BOB Drawing on there the pool at the bottom of the waterfall
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Want me to go first?
Vee Barlett: Er...the fugus that's suppose to be growin' on the walls? How's fungus just... disappear? Someone eat it?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sure because I'm not on long)
BOB and Vee standing at the bottom of the water fall
Levi Reed: I mean... should we bother? If it's just a pool and nowhere to go...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (and still too confused)
BOB Spots fish swimming in the waters
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Vee has aleady gone down it, I guess
Temperance: It might be that someone resides in the cave .... somewhere
Vee Barlett: Oh! Fish!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, someone came and like, "cleaned up" the place since last we were there
Vee Barlett : [Translation] What up, fish bros??
<font color="#000000">What up, fish bros??
[understood by: Vee Barlett]

BOB and they swarm over towards Rothus
Vee Barlett: Some hungry fish down here. Careful or I think they'll eat your toes.
Levi Reed: Rothuss doesn't need those toes anyway
Leech, Giant [1HD] 3: [DAMAGE (M)] Bite 2-3 HD [TYPE: Piercing (1d6=3)] [d6 = 3]
[3] -> [to Rothuss Carder] [STATUS: Moderate]
Vee Barlett: grabs some of her rations and tosses it into the water.
BOB and Rothuss feels a STABBING pain right through his brighly glowing yellow boots
Vee Barlett : [Translation] Don't be bitin' them toes. Ya know where they been? You
<font color="#000000">Don't be bitin' them toes. Ya know where they been? You

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Eat this.
<font color="#000000">Eat this.
[understood by: Vee Barlett]
BOB Then the rest of the water splashes as the fish swarm the rations that Vee dumped in
Temperance: furrows her brows in concern
Vee Barlett: Fed them. Come on down before they try to eat more toes.
Rothuss Carder: checks his boot and foot.
The river flows through this large cavern, wending its way between tall formations of stalagmites. The southern wall is a steep upward slope leading to a higher level within the same cavern. The interior of this higher level cannot be seen from the cave bottom.
wyjyoon (Temperance): On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is your pain?
Vee Barlett: What kinda cave is this?
BOB and here is a pause
BOB For Carissa to admire Vee's brightly glowing yellow boots
Temperance: checks on Rothuss' foot
Vee Barlett: takes notes to mention this to Rocco - new fashion statement?
BOB and a quick catch up on everything before going deeper into these caves that you do not know a way out of
Shislif (MeLange): Hey all that water must be going somehwere
Vee Barlett: moves her foot this way and that.
Lemon (Levi Reed): We'll find one, I trust the process
Lemon (Levi Reed): OR
Lemon (Levi Reed): We live here now
Vee Barlett: Whatcha all think? Garish or fashion?
MeLange: hey guys wait up!
Rothuss Carder: How did you get down the falls without getting bit, Vee?
Levi Reed: Rocco could do some good stuff with the glowy on a codpiece
Vee Barlett: Distracted them with conversation.
MeLange: fashion all the way
Vee Barlett: nods to self
Shislif (MeLange): the Leeches wouldn't dare
MeLange: the Leeches wouldn't dare
Vee Barlett: If it don't rub off, gonna have to take these home. Wonder how long it lasts...
Temperance: They were from a mushroom a ways before this waterfall.
wyjyoon (Temperance): *mushrooms
BOB So Lirt, Levi, Temperance and Rothuss have giant leeches on them
Vee Barlett: You all gonna.... just leave those there? Can you pull 'em off? Poke 'em? Burn 'em?
BOB you are out of the pool with the biting fish
Rothuss Carder: I don't like the tentacled look. How do we get rid of them?
Vee Barlett: Maybe the fish will eat them.
Levi Reed: attempts to pull off a leech
BOB and you have this very large cavern in front of you
Vee Barlett: pokes the leech on Rothuss with her knife
BOB Taking your time you can do that fairly easily
Rothuss Carder: Do your worst to it Vee. Pretend it's me
BOB and throw them back to the biting fish
The time is 10:50 AM
Vee Barlett: If I pretend it's your, I'm gonna go straight for your face.
Vee Barlett: At least the fish are happier.
Rothuss Carder: ITS face. Pretend IT is me. Not me is me.
BOB and yes it has been almost two hours that you have been down here
Lemon (Levi Reed): We have made some good, but so far useless, progress into this cave
Vee Barlett: Hmm.... I suppose you might need your face for now. Fine.
Rothuss Carder: You're all my witnesses. If I lose my face, Vee did it.
Vee Barlett: Nah, they ain't or they can help feed them fish.
Rothuss Carder: And now she's threatening the witnesses.
Vee Barlett: If only I had a good way to take some of them, too...
Temperance: hesitantly pokes a leech latched onto Levi with her small dagger
Vee Barlett: Who said it was a threat? They got leeches on them, too.
Vee Barlett: grins
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is my leech still there or what?
Rothuss Carder: You're going to have to work harder at it if you're going to pretend not to be a mob boss.

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 9]
Rothuss Carder: looks down the passage to see what's next.
Rothuss Carder: Dang. Not a cavern tavern.
-> Levi Reed: Levi can tell that this cavern will be very hard to move through and that southern wall with the upper section, anything, like goblins, or? could be up there and shoot down on you
Vee Barlett: Wrong island for that.
Shislif (MeLange): we wrapping up for the night?
Levi Reed: Well guys... gonna be honest, this doesn't look great. Going to be very hard to move through that area, and with that ridge up there, things could sneak up and shoot at us and we'd be fish in a barrel
MeLange: Cave life
Vee Barlett: Lirt, you got yer fog spell? Would that help give us cover?
Rothuss Carder: What's wrong with it? If we just leg it, there won't be time to shoot us.
MeLange: or we could try to move quick before anybody shows up
Shislif (MeLange): Number one rule of Spelunking, don't dilly dally
Levi Reed: The part about the "very hard to move through" was separate than the "things could shoot at us"
Vee Barlett: What's hard about it?
Levi Reed: Very hard to move through means we probably won't be able to go fast
Lemon (Levi Reed): I think
BOB correct
Lirtimya: I have my fog spell
The river flows through this large cavern, wending its way between tall formations of stalagmites. The southern wall is a steep upward slope leading to a higher level within the same cavern. The interior of this higher level cannot be seen from the cave bottom.
Vee Barlett: How long it last?
Shislif (MeLange): what if we just ride the river?
Rothuss Carder: Want me to climb up and peek over the edge and see if there's anyone up there?
Vee Barlett: Can we hide behind them pillars?
Rothuss Carder: No need to rush if there isn't anyone there.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, the other side slopes up, and this side slopes up, so I'm guessing the water is moving all around crazy like and we probably can't just ride the river
Lirtimya: At least a couple minutes
Vee Barlett: Well... could always try to go through and if'n something tries to shoot at us, Lirt does her fog trick.
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): 2d4 rds + 3 rds for level
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I am winding down FYI but can brainstorm for another minute or tw)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (nice)
BOB How does next week look for you Carissa?
Levi Reed: That's a solid amount of time
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Same as today
Shislif (MeLange): 2nd Vee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I'm almost at 180 hours of work for this pay period)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (until I get home, I'm toast)
BOB Ouch but nice pay?
Shislif (MeLange): I don't really see what else we can do besides move forward though
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (definitely, lol)
Levi Reed: I mean, Rothuss has been doing a great job being the leader so far, if he wants to sacrif... I mean, check out the ledge first, then I say we let him
BOB You can pick up here next week too, you should have Spring and Michael in again too
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I did take off Sunday because it's mandatory to take off one day so that'll be nice... but things get very busy next week. And then I fly home in two Mondays)
Levi Reed: But let's keep the fog spell as a backup, yeah?
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, sounds good.
Temperance: nods in assent
Vee Barlett: Ain't gonna stop y'all from doin' anything that may or may not be stupid.
Levi Reed: Just after that fight with that plant monster, I don't want to see anyone waste any spells
MeLange: nods
Levi Reed: Vee, we've done nothing but stupid things since we entered this cave
Levi Reed: It's working out fine so far
Vee Barlett: laughs
Shislif (MeLange): got us this far
Vee Barlett: Just make sure ya spot where ya can maybe take cover if needed.
MeLange: got us this far
Levi Reed: A couple of fish bites and leeches worse for the wear, but that's not bad, considering
BOB Also for the record the canoe is up in the first cave
Vee Barlett: And glowin' boots which are fun... and an easier target.
Rothuss Carder: Only way to do the smart thing is to know what's down here already. Ain't none of us know that, so everything we can do is maybe stupid, maybe smart.
BOB it would not fit through the tight twists you went through
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol thanks, didn't expect it to make it down here)
Levi Reed: Nobody's almost dead, MeLange is calling me baby, I got cute boots, we found a fun waterslide... absolutely nothing to complain about
BOB and when you read the chat you will see the reason why everyone is a fashion icon with their boots
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Vee Barlett: And y'all are almost finishin' each others sentences! Kinda cute.
MeLange: sandwiches?
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol thank you! that's stuck in my head
Carissa (Vee Barlett): glad it isn't just me
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok you all finish brainstorming and/or go forth and see what happens
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm gonna go sleep and wake up early again but I'm already halfway there...
Lemon (Levi Reed): ngl, I am also winding down
Shislif (MeLange): Good luck with all your work stuff Carissa!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): thanks! night all!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Probably not as much as Carissa, but still
Shislif (MeLange): night
'Carissa' disconnected
BOB It is up to the group you can start at this point next session
BOB you did make a LOT of progress
TMO (Rothuss Carder): all of it downward!
Lemon (Levi Reed): This feels like a good stopping point. Not in immediate danger
Shislif (MeLange): yay go team
BOB grins
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm okay with breaking here. Natural spot, before possibly starting an event
Shislif (MeLange): sounds good to me
Lemon (Levi Reed): We have a plan of a sacrificial Rothuss and a backup fog spell for next week
In the top level of the cavern there is a large pile of bones and scraps, remnants of victims carried up from the lower part of the cavern.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh
BOB chuckles
BOB sorry
BOB that was a misclick
Shislif (MeLange): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Welp
BOB You do not know that
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, guess we know what Rothuss will find next week!
BOB was moving things around to get to the XP
Rothuss Carder: I saw nuzzink! I know nuzzink!
Shislif (MeLange): Well if they get full off Rothuss they p rolly won't wanna eat the rest of us
wyjyoon (Temperance): I can't unsee it
[100 XP] -> Temperance
[100 XP] -> MeLange
[100 XP] -> Rothuss Carder
[100 XP] -> Lirtimya
Lemon (Levi Reed): So anyway, I want to collect some of those bones to try and make arrows out of, and check if any of them are any kind of special bones, or if they're all just normal bones
[100 XP] -> Levi Reed
[100 XP] -> Ratbone Carder
Lemon (Levi Reed): Someone remind me
[100 XP] -> Vee Barlett
wyjyoon (Temperance): Will remind you / make notes
Shislif (MeLange): Bones... check
Shislif (MeLange): Like that show Bones
Levi Reed: I read that wrong, because Levi and MeLange have been flirting. But yes. Bones. sure.
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Shislif (MeLange): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Progress in more ways than one, I suppose
Lemon (Levi Reed): So... we calling it now, or anyone have anything else they want to bring up before that?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): it was fun. I am having to think about it to properly play a carefree person who doesn't worry about consequences. :D
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Shislif (MeLange): comes more naturally to some of us, to our detriment
Lemon (Levi Reed): Idk man, Bixi was very much my anxiety side, and Levi is very much my medicated-anxiety side. They both come very naturally to me
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm usually more of the cautious overpreparer in D&D
wyjyoon (Temperance): Character-wise I'm surprised Temperance hasn't lost much composure yet
Lemon (Levi Reed): Bixi was kind of nervous about everything, and Levi is like, "Yeah, I'm nervous about this, but whatever! Let's go!"
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I don't think she even smiled on the waterslide, what's that all about! Loosen up, have some fun ladies!
Levi Reed: Because the patriarchy is alive and well and I get to say that, as a Man
BOB lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Shislif (MeLange): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Keep having Levi crack stupid jokes and maybe we'll see : D
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, that's his whole personality
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well ok then. I'm going to go take some nyqil and pass out
TMO (Rothuss Carder): sounds like a plan!
BOB go enjoy the weekend
TMO (Rothuss Carder): good night folks!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Goodnight friends! This was fun!
