Serpent's Skull: City of Seven Spears [IC]

[Blackhawk101]

Fronaldo nods and waves to the assembled Boggards.
"Hello! We are peaceful Circle Box explorersss from beyond the big water. We come ssseeking the fabled city of Ssaveth-Yi and we have found it!
We would welcome any knowledge of the area that you have to ssshare. We only wisssh to ssstudy the old city and pressserve its knowledge for the future. What say you?"
Fronaldo speaks loudly in common.

[lostsole31]

The boggard is completely unable to understand what Fronaldo is babbling about.

"I am learning Polyglot. Aron, Tepe me the words of what you want to say and I will repeat them out loud."

[lostsole31]

She does this, and Fronaldo likely copies, but it seems that the boggard does not understand Polyglot.

[Blackhawk101]

Fronaldo runs through the other languages he knows with he Boggards briefly to see if there is a connection.

[lostsole31]

Fronaldo runs through the other languages he knows with he Boggards briefly to see if there is a connection.

Goblin: He laughs at the gibbering noises Fronaldo makes.
Draconic: He laughs harder, as such a language was meant to come from grander bodies.
Dwarven: He's bored.
Gnoll: He looks at Fronaldo like he's insane.
Gnome: Getting bored again.

Still, he doesn't actually seem to comprehend any of them.

[Blackhawk101]

Fronaldo throws up his hands in Frustration, cursing in Goblin.
“Stupee warto frog bottoms!”

[lostsole31]

Again, the boggard laughs, slapping his knee when the goblin speaks in its native tongue in frustration.

[BuckGodot]

Book decides to use Arons idea and his knowledge of linguistics. He steps forward again, gestures at the group, and holding out his hand palm up, uses the other hand to make a walking motion with two fingers, and points in the direction they wish to go while speaking their desire to travel on to continue the investigation.

[lostsole31]

The boggard stands and stretches out its legs as best it can. It croaks and warbles in its language.

Spoiler: Aron, Fronaldo

"Roam free, but not in this area itself. This Ugimmo-space. Ugimmo thank for show of respect."

[BuckGodot]

Book looks at Aron questioningly.

“He said we can pass but keep away from this area. He thanked us for being respectful.”

​Fronaldo gives a little bow to the leader.

[BuckGodot]

Book also bows to the leader and turns to the others... "Shall we continue on then?"

With everyones agreement and input, Book will guide them on and observe the restrictions requested by the little green man.

[Blackhawk101]

Fronaldo is more than ready to move on.
He moves his check mark for Broggards from “only poison” to “poison later”; a rare exception.

[lostsole31]

You finish out the day and then head back camp carefully. A report is given about the boggard Ugimmo and the inability to be able to communicate at this time.

That evening, Xhafaerd meditates, studies, and reflects on Magaambyan techniques. Strictly from a point of conjecture regarding various forms of extraneous connection - Book, Aron, Gelik, and Amivor have a discussion concerning psionics. They would have preferred to have Xhanfaerd's input, but respect the mage's privacy. Fronaldo teaches Harrim and Sersheelda various vital areas on most bodies to strike.

Oathday, 23 Calistril 4711 AR

Morning! If you have anything special that you do or prepare that changes what is on your sheet. Note it here. This includes anything which is in addition to your normal 30-minute/ class routine. If you have nothing, just note that in Discord.

[Blackhawk101]

Fronaldo does his normal morning prep, including first breakfast and a light snack of a slow lizard he found.

prep Dex mutagen
prep extracts: swap “reduce person” for “Monkeyfish” first level.

[silphael]

Xhanfaerd sticks to his spells from the previous day. He replaces Harmony Shattering Strike with Blessed Pinions, however.

[lostsole31]

Okay, Book, do you have the party continue on from the last point, or reset to anywhere else?

[BuckGodot]

Yes. Let’s return to the last save point and go south from there.

[lostsole31]

Which direction from there?

[BuckGodot]

Continue south if we’re able.

[lostsole31]

The party does some exploration farther south, then head back for the end of the day.

On the way back home across the shattered bridge, you find that the bridge is again manned with degenerate serpentfolk!

Begin Round One!

R1T24: Fronaldo, what do you do?

“Snakemen! Watch it!”

Fronaldo surveys the two guards and then quaffs an extract. His limbs seem to ripple as a tremor passes through him. He grins and pulls (another?) a dagger from his bandolier.

R1T21: Veress growls, awaiting a command.

R1T18: Sersheelda's necklace, which appears to be made of various animal fangs, seems to grow ... more fangs! She then roars out of that tiny little body, and what a roar! Way louder than anything Veress has, and the party is filled with animal power. She moves up between Fronaldo and Book.

R1T17: Xhanfaerd, what do you do?

Getting closer, Xhanfaerd focuses his malice before launching force projectiles at the snakemen, promising them a quick end.

R1T16: Drawing his whip, Book rushes forward towards Blue, easily navigating the rough terrain of the broken bridge, and lashes out, his whip scoring a line across the enemy's chest for 34 + hampered.

R1T15: Gelik seems to glide across the bridge as his weird, watery sandals make for smooth movement, though he goes around difficult areas. He opens his mouth and shrieks at Red, a bolt of energy hitting it in the upper right arm for 10 sonic.

R1T14: Harrim moves up calmly and purposely next to Fronaldo and casts a spell, painfully contorting Blue's skeleton for 6.

R1T10: Aron orders Veress to attack Red and hustles to a spot on the far edge of the bridge, screened by Book and Gelik.

R1T9: Veress likewise hustles to get to Red.

R1T7-2: Blue steps up to Book and stabs with his spear, but not before Book takes advantage of Blue's hampered movement to whip it along the side of the belly for 12. Red stabs at Veress, critting the back part of its flank for 15 (+1d3 bleed).

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T24: Fronaldo, you are currently invigorating your limbs, and two daggers are in hand. What do you do?

Sersheelda on deck, Xhanfaerd in the hole ...
