Wyatson The Rogue
I killed the tree...now what?
Clement is pulling weird thing (humanoid) out of the tree. Some arcane looking stuff on its head...is it a demon??? Clement is talking to this thing in a weird ass in a weird language. CLement is translating for me but im starting to put it together:
This creature is here against its will, they are using it to grow this frotesquery.
Averice and Gluttony might be Rusk and Yort(the fattie). The hamlet he speaks of is Flos's Cross.
-They might be taking advantage of the situation.
If i knew this language I might of been able to get more info than what Clement is saying. These things the, Gizzard Stones, are worth a lot more than what we were told.
He requests some sustenance and in exchange he will give us a "blessing". idk if i should. Avalanche jumped at the opportunity and asks for a name and he gives: "Caprathorn". Avalanche has received some sort of blessing as his ear looks different.
Onwards after the Wolves
We continue to walk into the forest in search of this goddess? god? deity? something..... thats been taking/killing people. Random rattling is weird. Its getting closer, towards Clement...Typical....something is hitting his shell. Theres bones all around him, im sure we'll figure it out the more we go into the forest.
Avalanche looks like he caught a whiff of something. Looks like hes hungry im sure this will be interesting. We found it, does he want to get high? Theres about 16 mushrooms around a tree glowing "magically". Clement is gonna try to harvest them. Clement says these mushrooms have the effect of the spell "Enlarge/Reduce". Since he isn't good at anything he says that its a 50/50 chance it'll enlarge or reduce. If he learned his trade better we might get better odds.
Clement is leading us again, he started going one way then looked the other way and started going in another direction. Did he notice something or does he really just have no idea where he's going and is actually lost?.....we walked us to this tree with fruits, apples maybe?, Clement is gonna try one of these apples, he said its a Primal Fruit?....it has healing properties of some kind (3d8+4).
Avalanche suggests we take a rest. He got hurt pretty badly last time, this grove is a pretty good place to rest. Johnny thinks he can carry me??? I pulled a knife on him and he dropped me but I fell flat on my face.
Avalanche is looking better after taking the rest and eating the apple. Clement was very convincing and lifted me up and I got the last apple. He humiliates me and then he only gives me one apple
-.-
. Time to keep going. Clement found an old trail and we beging to follow it. Doesn't look like anyones been here in a while. There's a structure/building coming into view. Looks like an old cemetary/mausoleum...Clement believes we should advance stealthily for once I agree with him. Ill keep an eye out for traps while we push forward and reach this gate. There are no traps and I was able to open these rusted gates, never doubted myself. Johnny cast silence in the area to open the gates and avalanche opened it up with by hitting the gates with the crowbar....thats one way to do it. I put my cloak on to see whats around. There's some chittering from the squirrels in the area ill tell the guys about these. Something threw acid at us!!! We need to be careful going forward. Something is coming!!! I opened the everlasting smoke bottle, I think that might've been a mistake...we can't see....I dont know how everyone else is doing i gotta keep moving forward to try to beat this thing trying to kill us. AAAhhhhhh this bile almost got me completely but i was able to move at the last minute but still got me. Ill keep going forward. I need to be more careful going forward. After a long grueling battle against a tree thing i was able to snipe the crap out of it. Avalanche was swallowed, clement, to no ones surprise, just stayed away from the battle and was being choked by a tree the whole time. Johnny did awesome against this tree thing as well. He even pissed it off by landing on its head in his raven form. He also killed the poor tree that tried its best trying to get to Avalanche the whole encounter but died. Hahaha... The "god" is now dead we think......
Favor's Owed
-Merchant from *****
-Evi, merchant from Crossroads in Camont: Wants info in pricing in other towns
Ambush!!! or not???
My friends deescalated. BabaYaga lives!!! He might snap later, ill keep an eye on him. I can only hear some of what they're saying, damn boarded barn....something about them are the ones who put out the contract, She doesn't want the townsfolk to know, ???? Wayside - magic shop? I should go meet up with them, but something is still watching me, ill wait a little longer. Meeting at town center before going out on mission? Clement is trying to convince her of something, like always fails and gets no "real" information but atleast discerned stuff "god" is coming from the north of town.
I stayed up, taking first watch making sure nothing comes at us while we rest. I hear something...(keeper of peace,sherrif) Rusk speaking to tavern owner, Hemena. They are very friendly to each other business like even. Hemena is talling Rusk to keep an eye on us. "they are not discreet", she said. I would love to tell her we're very discreet. She thinks we're gonna leave too!!!! What a bitch she attacked us and now says this crap! I'll tell the others that they want to deal with us. Hemana is pretty submissive to Rusk. Note to self: "Rusk pulls the weight around here." Time to bed for now........
***Dream Sequence***
***Sherloque was back!!!***
***It was a nightmare***
We're up the next day, Clement suggests going to the magic shop mentioned earlier. There are folks here now but not that many. This place sounds like its called "the Sideways Wayside" on the southside of the town....Oh wow this place lives up to its name, its actually sideways.
The Magic Shop
This lady is fancy with her familiar and dressings. Johnny is trying to trade that silence wand, very smart. She appears to like the item. I was very successful at bargaining for some great items. Honestly, sherloque would never do this good. She even offered us a discount for next time...if we come back ofcourse, I wonder if she just thinks we wont be coming back. She is at a cross roads so merchants and adventurers go through here, ill ask for any info she can part with us. I convinced her for a favor and some information, this is what she knows:
Favor
**she wants merchant info from other cities** -Hemina has been tavern owner for long time, kind hearted patron, never overcharges, she is a patron for the people. -De'savoues (Rusk and Yort) havent been here as long but also nice and friendly. Something is off when she speaks of the Desaivoys. I think she might be charmed. Getting her out of this charm later might make her owe me a favor, *smirk*. Johnny leads the way at first and does a great job keeping an eye out for things....he should lead us more often, Clement would have gotten us lost by now....Clement is taking the lead now -.- he'll probably lead us the wrong way...I was wrong, he lead us to a pack of "wolves?" He has reached a new low....looking around this place appears to have a mist at the floor, ground is kinda bad for me to sneakily crawl around. Avalanche says there are wolves but says the're drooling acid??? wtf!!, Ill go into the mist for now and back them up in case they run into trouble. I see a few wolves in hidden in the trees, might be able to sneakily take them out but ill look around for now some more in case something else pops up. Avalanche will prbably be charging in soon. It smells bad too coming from SE area. Johnny is a savage at attacking these things, he blew one up in front of me....Holy shit they're right in front of me!!! I should probably stop writing with these wolves in front of me they might hear me...storms a brewing it seems....now's theres lightning, probably some new shit clement learned....avalanche got hit by something from the tree....its the tree itself!...I shot a wolf in the ass and fuckin' obliterated it, that was awesome!!! Avalanche would have loved that had he not been grappled by the vines from the tree. I'm engaged with a single wolf right now and missed, cant believe i missed....i got this time in the ass again and it died. the one next to it blew up this time with lightining, spectacular show, Clement always somehow comes back from his failures everytime. We gathered some stuff from the wolves, their mandables, its time to keep going now in search of this woodlands god.
The Road to Camont
Day 1: Nothing Happened
Day 2: We found a tree with skeletal hands inside hanged like a chime. It might be a warning sign. I burned it down....might have avoided some small rat aberrations.
Day 3: Clement sucked at survival shit. I like the guy but this might not be his strongsuit. Theres a tree on the road....I ran to hide in a tree incase it might be an ambush...I was right...We killed them all and figured out some information: Large aberrant treelike monsters are what control little forest creatures that become acidic. They are immune to acid and poison damage. Could this be the "Woodland god"???
We have Finally arrived at the outskirts, a nice hamlet to Camont, no thanks to Clement....I call out using my whistle (thieves cant)...no response...we look around for a place to rest near town square. A great marble statue of Miklas sits at the town center. Town semi-abondoned it seems, several candles havent been lit in a good while. Where is everyone???...im getting a faint feeling that statue might be magical, Clement confirms this, hes finally useful.
Finally a tavern, "Hemina's", maybe theres a place to sleep there....looks really fancy, we might not be able to afford it. Lots of people here compared to outside. We found at table to sit at, Hemina greeted us and offered us food and drink. Avalanche went to restroom as always. The servers seem off now that i take a closer look, there seems to be a glamour here, ill pay closer attention...THEYRE DISGUISING THEMSELVES, THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY APPEAR!!!...Clement gave me a look, he seems to have noticed as well, I'll play along for now. I should probably warn Avalanche, who knows how long it'll take till he comes back, we might need him....It smells like ass in here, Avalanche is destroying this restroom even though hes just pissin...I tell him that something might happen and be ready but knowing him he'll blow our cover so wont tell him too much.
Baba Yaga is taking long stowing the horses...I wonder what hes doing???
Theres something wrong with the food. I won't be eating this anymore. Avalanche is leaving, none of us should be alone, i'll go with him, they caught me in my lies ill stay for now to stay their suspicions for now...
Avalanche barged in yelling, Baba yaga is missing and apparently hurt. The peoplein the tavern seem to react as well and it might be because of the ravid squirrels??? By the way where are the guardsmen? He guides us to the scene.
***I see what happened in my mind, what it was that happened to baba yaga, like what Sherlock
can do but better***
Avalanche studies the blood and tracks, he believes all signs point towards the stable. We make our way there and he bull rushes the doors to the stable and succesfully crushes the door, I would not like to be on the receiving end of that. Baba yaga is being held with a sword at his throat. I'll should get a better vantage point, my efforts weren't all that great, I feel someone else might be watching me outside....
The New Contract
I have found some new info about our new mission. We will be heading to Camont. The contract entails finding/killing a woodland god. 500GP.
The noble is from a prosperous hamlet called "Floss's Cross".
....should we revive sherlock???
