Today is the 19th of Ches, the Spring Equinox, 1492. It is high noon.

Tiandra's magic hits you with terrible, irresistible force, ripping you from the Feywild body and soul and casting you across the planes at breakneck speed. Before you have time to think, you feel yourself hitting the ground, hard, in a forest that you've never seen before. Everything here is strange and dull. The trees do not sing, there's only one type of flower in bloom (they are narcissuses, you note) and you can't feel any wild magic at all. This must be the Material Plane.

The weather is clear and dry, with a gentle breeze blowing from... you're not sure which direction. You can't see or hear anyone around, but there seems to be a trail through the undergrowth nearby. Clearly people come through here sometimes. Just then, you catch the scent of something. It smells like blood.

Akiko shiver as she takes in a deep breath finding out where she is, how an ugly place this is.
Walking around a moment, she still see beauty, well, beauty relative to this foul place. She picks some narcissuses hoping to gift them to her mother as an apology.
I'm supposed to learn humility in a place like this, must be a joke.
She looks up, knuckle white in rage and scream I wont move from here mother! Please take me back home! Please...
But, she knows how futile it is, she curl and let her fox form take over, crying until her nose picks a scent. Blood? The thought makes her shiver but she decide still to move slowly towards it hoping for anything alive to help her.
She hides, slowly going towards the scent.

No one answers your screaming, of course, not even the blackbirds that have gathered in the trees to watch you.

Following the scent, you creep through the undergrowth a while, until you come to a small river. There's a smear of bright, red blood on the bank, sending a thin curl of crimson downstream. You can't see any creatures around here, but there are plenty of places to hide...

Please make a Dexterity (Stealth) check.

Akiko is hidden as she approaches the riverbank, but clearly your curiosity gets the better of you and you step out of cover to get a better look.

A few seconds later, you suddenly realise that you aren't hidden at all! However, nothing seems to happen. No creatures appear and everything is quiet.

Akiko slowly back away close to the trees and start preparing some food for the birds she saw earlier, hoping they'd answer.
Hey there, it's good, want it? Can you show me what happened there?
She points towards the river, the blood stain while holding some food for the birds.

Speak with animal as a ritual; how do we manage material component already?

Ninja_Prawn
2019-02-23, 08:10 AM
You prepare your ritual uninterrupted, and speak with the birds. They tell you that they saw a humanoid person here, badly injured. The person eventually regained some strength and left - the birds point out which way they went and you think you see a hint of some tracks - but the birds missed whatever caused the injury. They didn't arrive until afterwards.

Speak with animals doesn't have a material component. But you can generally assume that you can scrounge up simple, natural materials in the forest. Did you bring a focus with you?

Thank you my friend
Akiko stays in the bushes a little longer, looking at the blood stain and the direction the person took.
She goes back as a fox and run, following as best as she can the tracks.

I do have a holy symbol.

Setting off at high speed, you follow the tracks for about five minutes until you come upon the source: a drow elf. He's collapsed on the ground, not moving.

Akiko gasp at the sight and run towards the drow, changing into her two-legged form and kneel beside him and gently lift his head, holding it close to her.
Who could've do this to you my friend. You can rest easy, you're safe, i'll keep you company until you regain your senses.
She goes to the river to bring back some water and start cleaning the wound to see if he'll really make it through.

If he needs stabilizing, Akiko will use her healer kit.

The drow doesn't stir when you lift his head. He is breathing, but you realise he needs immediate treatment if he's going to stay that way. Using your healer's kit, you successfully stabilise him. It should be a matter of time before he comes round, now, you hope. Is there anything you want to do in the meantime?

After a short ritual, Akiko prepare a fire on the beach and put the drow in her bedroll close to the fire. She then goes to fetch food, hunting rabbits or foraging fruits.

Akiko will use animal friendship as a ritual, ideally on a bird or squirrel in the hope of having someone as a lookout.

You are able to find a few edible fruits nearby. They're not really ripe, but they're good enough to offer to a small animal - in this case a sparrow.

<Elvish>I am Akiko, your savior, and daughter of Queen Tiandra. I advise you to put that away, you'd be dead if it was my intention. As for where we are, i'll have to say... on the shore of that river. Sorry, its my first time on the material plane so I don't really know where we are exactly. Could you tell me what put you in the aweful state I found you in? And your name?

<Elvish> "Tiandra...? Where do I know that name?" He pushes himself up into a sitting position, but doesn't sheathe the dagger. "My name is Ildan T'ssorae. I was..." he looks down at the jagged, bloody wounds in his torso. "ugh, I got attacked by a giant crocodile. Say, do you have any healing magic?

Now she's the one surprised at the drow not knowing her mother.
<Elvish>What kind of place is this where a drow wouldn't know my mother name. Anyway, I wish to learn about you and your comrades and drows on the material plane. And we might want to keep clear from the water if there's a beast capable of doing this to a drow.

He complies with your demand this time, accepting the healing with a measure of humility. Only a small measure, to be sure.

Ildan considers his options. "Well, if you want to come with me... I suppose we'd be safer together. There's something I need to do first, though. I seem to have lost something during my escape... probably near to where I was attacked. I'm going that way first."

His eyes narrow - clearly he isn't happy being questioned. "I had a job to so, a solo mission. That's kind of... what we do in my company." Perhaps in an effort to stop you from asking any follow up questions, he asks: "So, what brings you to the Material Plane?"

You follow the drow, unseen.

He goes to the place where he was attacked - where you first picked up the trail of blood - and roots around for a while, looking for something. Eventually, he finds... a short stick. You can't see any details from here, but you hear him cursing in a language you don't understand, so you can assume his search is over.

Along the way, he explains that half of the wand is missing, probably swallowed by the giant crocodile during their fight. It can't be repaired until the missing part is found, and he clearly wants to repair it before taking it back to his masters.

Visibly annoyed, Akiko tries to remain calm Proof? I suppose your reluctance is justified. Would this ring be enough to tie me with my mother? Or her symbol that I carry with me? Or maybe a show of my training with her right hand, her friend and counsel? Or just a story as to why she sent me here perhaps? There's nothing tangible to completely prove this. I was born from her tears at a love that came to an end as abruptly as it came to be. Through the years, she had to apologies for my misbehaviour one too many time and here I am. If you have a way to know I'm not lying, i'll cooperate so that you know for sure. So please, this attack isn't needed, stop this.

You hear some tiny whispering, before two sprites (armed) and a handful of pixies (not armed) appear. "I suppose that would explain your obnoxious attitude," one of the sprites growls, "and if you're not from around here, maybe you wouldn't know about the trouble we've been having with his kind."

An older pixie takes over. "Peace, Rocky. Soften your tone. What do you want from us, Akiko? We are but humble pixies, far removed from the politics of the Feywild."

Akiko gets off her guard when finally the tension drop Thank you for listening. My mother sent me here to learn to mingle appropriately with other fey. Would you kindly show me the way to the nearest enclave where I might start to make amend? And you speak of trouble, might I inquire on the nature of this trouble and is the one who helped me get here one of the drow you had trouble with?
Akiko turns around to where she last saw Ildan wondering if he was still there. She speaks out loud Ildan! I believe you are in my debt again, funny how things turns out.

The pixie chief sniffs dismissively. "Aye, there's a faerie enclave nearabouts. I've half a mind to show you the way; those blatherskites are meant to be protecting us from the likes of drow invasions, but we've been left high and dry out here." He sighs. "That wouldn't be right, though. I can't be the one to lead the drow to the enclave."

Once the pixie is finished Ildan hisses weakly: <Elvish> "I, uh... *cough* don't speak Sylvan. And if you intend to call in any more debts from me, I suggest you heal me before this cursèd pinprick bleeds me to death."

Ildan has a message for the pixie. "You know, pixie, you'd have a lot less 'trouble' from us if you did show us where the faeries are hiding." He stays behind cover as he says this. "It's not like we want to have to tear our way through every acre of this sun-drenched forest."

Akiko turns towards Ildan You're not that badly hurt for now, my magic is limited, i'll have your side of the story before I decide if I use it on you.

The pixie doesn't know too much about what is going on at the faerie court. "All's I know is that the drow started coming up from their Underdark recently. Seems like they're preparing for a full-scale invasion, which is why I've hired a company of sprites to protect this village. As for the faerie courts, who knows? They like to say this whole forest is their territory, so I expect they'll be unhappy when they find out dark elves are trying to colonise it."

If you put this to Ildan, he is unrepentant. "We are only taking back what is rightfully ours. This forest was once home to thousands of drow, and those who drove us out last time are no longer here to press their claim."

"I do not think there is much risk of you being followed. You are a kitsune, no?" (He can probably see it in your shadow) "You should be able to go unseen if you are careful. Here, directions to the Palace of Jewels." He explains the way, giving details of various secret signs and landmarks that only a fey creature would know.

It takes you most of the rest of the day to get to the place where the faerie court is hidden. It's an unremarkable patch of forest, but there are quite a few fey creatures assembled here: pixies and sprites, satyrs and dryads. They are bunched up in clusters, talking quietly or listening to the soft notes of a pan flute that one of the satyrs is playing.

The sun is low on the horizon and bats are swooping through the air, hunting for their evening meals.

He's a talented musician, there's no denying. The various fey creatures continue about their business; some make small talk with you, but nothing of note happens until...

A rainbow-coloured portal opens in the air nearby. An older faerie, bald and bearded, glides out.

After a quick check of your stuff, the faerie waves you into the enclave. Immediately, you feel more aware, sensations feel sharper, and you can almost taste the magic in the air. It's clear that you're back in the Feywild. well-dressed faeries are everywhere, enjoying the evening twilight, and colourful lights twinkle through the sky.

At the centre of the enclave, you can see the beautiful towers of the King's palace, which looks almost like it's studded with gemstones thanks to its hundreds of stained glass windows. What would you like to do here?

"You know Queen Tiandra's style, hm?" You can tell she doesn't believe you about being related to an archfey. "The... Summer Sun Technique, right? I've never actually seen anyone using that before.

Well anyway, you're a little late for dinner, so it'll take the chef a few minutes to get something ready for you. In the meantime, I think a little test of strength would be a good idea." She nips into the back room for a few seconds and exchanges words with people inside. "Okay, Liv's going to fetch us some boards. Let's get started on the paperwork while we wait..."

She hands you a paper asking you to enter various information. Name, age, birthplace, that sort of thing. You fill it in and she countersigns it. Her name, apparently, is Gina Clearsky, and she holds the rank of 'Highwind Huntress'. With that out of the way, a muscular elf woman appears out of the back room carrying a stack of fireclay tiles, 10 in total. She sets them up in the middle of the room and stands aside. "You sure, Gi? She don't look like all that much."

Your energy bolt shatters seven of the tiles, sending broken pieces of ceramic flying in all directions. Gina is impressed, saying to her elven companion "ha! That's why you don't judge a book by its cover. I keep telling you Liv, you need to learn to read people's ki..."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Call me when there's work to do." The elf heads into the back room again.

"Ignore her, Akiko. You'll get on fine here. Let's go see what the chef has managed to scrounge up for you."

It turns out the other guild members had pigeon pie this evening. The leftovers are enough to make a decent stew, and there's a couple of pieces of (somewhat tough) bread that would be whole loaves to a faerie. Luckily, there are plenty of other medium-sized creatures in this guild, so they're well equipped with seats, cutlery and ceiling heights that are suitable for your humanoid form.

She smile at her host comment.
Thank you
Looking at the food as she settles in.
Looks decent enough, i'll have to thank the chef since it was after dinner I suppose.
Akiko start eating with an ogre appetite and a slightly messy eater though she makes sure to pick up what falls to eat it. No waste!
Mouth full, she looks around.
Anyone knows about King Soren? How is he with everyone? Benevolent or not?

Asking such a bold question to the room produces a long moment of stunned silence. Eventually a satyr with a pair of flashy-looking scimitars on his belt plunks himself down opposite you. He gulps down some beer, then looks you in the eye. It's a good few seconds before he speaks. "Evenin', missy," he chirps. "How's about we start with introductions, eh? I's Monkey-boy McManus. Pleased to meet ye!" He's wearing a big toothy grin, but his gaze is steely and intense.

Akiko frown at the satyr behavior
Monkey-boy, pretty fitting for a punk. Keep away until I finish eating, food is going to get bad.
She takes a bit of her stew.
My name is Akiko and your smile is getting on my nerve. If you're the one I'm fated to talk to, please let me finish eating before.
Whispering to herself and hoping to be heard by the satyr None would've dare talk to me that way, bastard. If you don't know who you talk to, be polite! You wouldn't want to anger someone you don't know.

"O-ho! That how ye wanna play it, new girl?" He booms. "I may be drunk -"

"Ye're always drunk, Monkey-boy!" Someone shouts from across the room.

"- aye, well... aye. But I ain't drunk enough to let ye impugn me ma's honour without a fight! So how's about ye finish up yer bowl an' meet me down in the gym? Me an' the boys was a-wantin' to see what ye was made of anyhow."

Monkey-boy the drunk
She looks into the satyr eyes
Lets take it up a notch, a little bet perhaps? If you lose, you'll follow me for a while then sing about my exploits. Would that be good? Looking at you, it seems to be something you'd enjoy. Now, what would you want if, though pretty unlikely, I were to lose? Do keep in mind my mother name, if you were to exaggerate in your demands, you might be on Tiandra bad side.
Akiko quickly finish her bowl.
What's your answer Boy? Can't wait to see what you're made of.

"I should warn ye," he grins, "I's a lucky drunk. Here's the skinny: if'n I win, ye're cleaning Ol' Rick's room for a month!"

A crusty-looking boggart sitting at another table lifts his hand and gives a big thumbs up. Lords and ladies, you can smell his armpit from here.

He takes you down to a gym. It is much like the training rooms at the various Feywild monasteries you've visited, but smaller and less decorative.

McManus explains the rules: "standard stuff: no magic, no strikes to the eyes or groin, blunt weapons only." He hands his swords to Ol' Rick and picks up a pair of tonfa from a rack. "We'll fight for 30 seconds. One point for a clean hit, two for a knock-down. Minus one for each time you step out of the ring. All good?"

Akiko takes her stuff and sword and put it beside the wall then goes in the middle of the ring.
I would've prefer to keep that sword on me but, oh well, rules seems good to me. Win or lose, this is going to be fun I hope. Ready?

I suppose I should start with initiative? [roll0]

Quick question : Akiko radiant sun bolt is a range spell attack, I just want to confirm that there's no problem in doing this in melee

You step into the ring (a 30-foot circle) and bow, then get into your fighting stances. Monkey-boy is swaying like a drunkard... he wasn't doing that a minute ago, so you have to assume this is his usual technique. He seems to be taking a defensive approach, which gives you the opportunity to strike first!

Note that, during this fight, both fighters will regain 1d4+2 hit points at the end of each round.

He dodges your first shot, but the second two strike true! He seems a little rattled; he didn't expect you to hit him so early.

Monkey-boy reacts quickly though, aiming a jab towards you head, then a low kick, finally letting rip with a ki-enhanced strike to your chest. He stays close-in, circling slightly to your left.

Attack 1: [roll0]
Damage 1: [roll1] bludgeoning
Attack 2: [roll2]
Damage 2: [roll3] bludgeoning
Attack 3: [roll4]
Damage 3: [roll5] bludgeoning, and you must make a DC12 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of Monkey-boy's next turn.

Akiko receive the satyr hits, unable to predict how the drunkard moves. Trying to block the kick, she fails to deviate it correctly and get hit straight in the chest. Though still up, she moves and speak as the drunk should be in her mind. blep... wolth? Awil... youn awt?

He lowers his guard and accepts your submission. "Aye, so, what was that about not wanting to anger someone ye didn't know?! Ye's a lot to learn if'n ye wanna get along round 'ere..."

"Startin' with rethinkin' yer notions o' what the worst smell in the world is! Heh heh!" Says a shellycoat as she slaps you on the back. Ol' Rick is smiling toothily.

...

Over the course of the next few days, you settle into a routine. Most of your time is spent at the guild, training, eating, sleeping or doing small jobs (and cleaning Ol' Rick's room). Once you've been formally introduced to the Court, you are allowed to socialise with the nobles as well, so you spend some time in the Palace. It's hard to get much time with the King; there are a lot of people vying for his attention; but you do get a good feel for what's going on at Court, the latest fashions and hot gossip. There are plenty of opportunities to observe proper faerie etiquette.

Nothing especially notable happens for the next 48 days...

Your work earns you some credit in the enclave to the tune of 35gp.
Your training grants you experience to the tune of 480 XP.
You make one friendly contact among the nobility.
A complication: you have been challenged to a duel by a noble faerie. Details to be agreed at a later date.
Work: [roll0]
Socialising: [roll1]
