A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal

[Majin]

Perception check: (d20+7)[26]

[Ninja_Prawn]

Sorry Majin, I hadn't noticed your post until now. Don't know how that happened...

Anyway 26 is pretty dang good!

[Archmage1]

Ooh! Violet might know things about plants!

(1d20+4)[6] Nature
And maybe another +3, if dealing with presumably unhappy plants counts as gardening?

Or... RNG doesn't like Violet much.

Edit: Which means that she can't help teach the plant how to hug people properly! It's terrible!

No worries! I meant to ask about it, but kinda forgot :S

How close is the moth exactly? Like within hearing range?

[Archmage1]

It is going to be tricky, fighting mean plants to save innocent faerie soldiers.

Did Astra's knowledge check let her know anything about them?

[Archmage1]

It is sort of sad, really. If only the plant was nice, and offered nice hugs, instead of mean ones!

And also, maybe, if Violet was a little bit more combat oriented. As it is, the only option she has to technically break the grapples would be levitation(On the faeries), which, as forced movement, should break it.
On the other hand, that's pretty silly.

Maybe gardening, or(Had she succeeded even remotely at her knowledge check) major image might be able to do it as well.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Did Astra's knowledge check let her know anything about them?

Right, yes, 19 is plenty for this. Astra identifies the plants as assassin vines: ambush predators that grapple and strangulate their victims. They can be found both above ground and in the Underdark, and they can migrate by burrowing through the soil. They're slow, but they can hit quite hard if you let them get near you. They are not immune to the sleep spell.

How close is the moth exactly? Like within hearing range?

It was maybe 60 feet away when you spotted it, but you can whisper to the others without it hearing you.

[Archmage1]

How many faeries can we see that are trapped?

[WindStruck]

Astra was trying to alert the soldiers they were following... I guess just shouting is a free action, or maybe in this case since it's so important maybe not.

But I still have move and standard actions to take as well, right? When will we know if Astra is heard?

[Archmage1]

On a side note, would the cheesy method of freeing grappled faeries work? Specifically, Levitate, as most forced movement breaks grapples.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Since this isn't really a live combat situation, you can just go for whatever you want to do, without being limited by actions and turns.

I've answered Violet's questions in the IC.

[WindStruck]

Oh an actual. nevermind!

[Archmage1]

That hopefully means we only have 2 more to save! Violet... could try plant growth? If the plants get bigger, that means that the faeries can slip free, right? Or maybe she can try tricking the vines, somehow?

[Archmage1]

If only we knew about the death saves OOC. We could heal them, and gain time! As it is, one of the faeries is a mere 1 failure from death!

[WindStruck]

That's a lot of hugs per round!!

[Archmage1]

I know, it is too many hugs for a single round, but quick hugging is a valuable tool to cheer up exhausted and unconscious people, so they can be hugged properly!

(Also, per Ninja's earlier post, since we're not in combat...)

[Archmage1]

On a side note, I'm glad I didn't have to try one of Violet's hail mary options. I could think of two: First, she could try casting a Major image, and creating an image of a large animal. Hopefully, whatever senses the Assassin vine used would be fooled, and also hopefully, it would let the faeries go to try getting the bigger thing.
Alternatively... Plant Growth. Make the assassin vines bigger, then the faeries can slip out, and run away! What could possibly have gone wrong!(Honestly, this would have been awesome)

Also, Violet might or might not be trying to think of a way to teach assassin vines to give nice hugs, instead of mean hugs.

[WindStruck]

I don't know if they can tell the difference between nice and mean hugs.

But hey I guess if their object of affection stops breathing, they've been killed with kindness!

[Archmage1]

They just need to hug them when they're really sad, and that way, they get water! Then, they let them go, and they'll feel much better! The perfect plan!

[Majin]

Sorry about the late post, managed to miss the last reply.

Btw I don't remember if it was answered already, but did we get to short rest before everyone departed?

[Ninja_Prawn]

Hm, no I don't think you did take a rest.

And apologies for being away so long. Has it really been nearly a month? Sheesh, I completely lost track of time.

[Archmage1]

Time. The one thing that there never really seems to be enough of. Sometimes, I think that if I had an extra ten hours in each day, I might actually have time to do all the things I should be doing, but, alas...

Glad to see you back.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Whoops, those were not supposed to be d210s...

Let's try again.

Drow A attack: (1d20+4)[10]
Damage: (1d6+2)[8]

And 10 is a failure, so Kor is affected by the faerie fire, so...

Drow D attack: (1d20+4)[17]
Advantage: (1d20+4)[19]
Damage: (1d6+2)[4]

Okay, so the crossbow bolt is poisoned. Kor needs to make a DC 13 Constitution save or be poisoned for 1 hour. If he gets less than 8, he also falls asleep for the duration of the poison.

[Majin]

Whoops, those were not supposed to be d210s...

Those would have been some scary elves!

Concentration save: (d20+2)[11] - Kor keeps concentration

Con save against poison: (d20+2)[12] - Looks like Kor's poisoned!

[Archmage1]

At least rescue faeries are on the way, and they can deal with poison!

[Archmage1]

I presume that Violet and Astra are still on their way, so we're waiting for Kor to act?

[Majin]

Right, sorry, replying now! I think I missed the IC thread notification :S

Concentration check: (d20+2)[7] DC 10

[Ninja_Prawn]

I presume that Violet and Astra are still on their way, so we're waiting for Kor to act?

Correct, I'm afraid.

[Archmage1]

We're almost to the bear hugging moment! And probably some sadness about all the drow dying mysteriously for strange reasons...

[Majin]

So I'm guessing getting out of wild shape doesn't cure being poisoned?
