Sodden Stories: Scene 2 - Exploring the Jungle

[JellyBrains]

Victor tries to remember if he ever ate leeches. Nature 5 THINKING: Or were those lychees?

[Jinxs-3d]

Arkyat will use his Esoteric knowledge to see if he recalls anything about leeches.

Discord: 21.

[Silverstone]

Tover nature check vs leeches: natural 20, net 23

OUT OF CHARACTER

Capable of growing to lengths of nearly 5 feet, giant leeches have circular maws filled with hook-like teeth. They prefer to dwell in stagnant or slow-moving shallow water or in damp, moist undergrowth. Horses and larger animals are their favorite prey, but they won't balk at a chance to latch onto a human- or halfling-sized meal. Giant Leeches have tremorsense and blood drain (requires latching on first).

 

Ecmund looks very disappointed, “Well, if they shan't help you, I will. We must rescue your research!”

OUT OF CHARACTER

Make a diplomacy check (and argument) to convince Ecmund to stay with you and rest for the night before returning to Prembret's camp.

Pixel turns towards the Dwarf
“We be tired... very tired. We not even able to look for danger... like that... ” Pixel points to the remains of the Panther.
“Area full of danger, yes? You no want abandon Pixel here...” he says, in a tired pleading voice.

Victor says to Pembret,

I'm sure Sir Ecmund will die for you in the most heroic Dwarven fashion. But not if you do not show him where your camp is.

Victor says to Ecmund,

Come Sir Ecmund, Fighting and dying is best done in the morning. How inconvenient to have to write your own heroic death while dying!

OUT OF CHARACTER

Diplomacy roll 17

 

unless fatigued effects Diplomacy check then 16

OUT OF CHARACTER

Aren't these checks exploration activities? And therefore wiped by Fatigued? Not that I agree, but it does seem to be the RAW.

Tover will try to aid Victor's discussions “We need time to make the panther into leech bait... wrap meat in panther skin, wrap around on a rope, tie one end to a tree and throw the bait towards shoreline and to drag it slowly from shore to us to hopefully trigger the leeches tremorsense, luring them out to where we can see them.. After lured out, if they are slow on land ranged weapons maybe best to weaken them before we close in... arrows, Pixel fire, etc. Doing this experiment when fresh should get better results”

Tover then looks at Sir Ecmund “Perhaps Giant leech fighting strategies would be interesting to document? Even if this idea fails perhaps good to record?”

OUT OF CHARACTER

not sure what aid roll would be, if even possible

 

[rednetra]

Inva looks at Tover as he explains everything. How I like a battle just like anyone would why are we asking for it. Should we try and avoid the leech’s and move on to the farms. Focus our energy on that.

[Silverstone]

“Inva, my Da would say "best way to survive a fight is skip it", but as our sponsor seems interested in saving our new friend's research, I am making plans if thats what he wants us to do - so if we cant avoid leech conflict, lets use the knowledge we have... who knows maybe they will all go for the bait, and the fastest of us just run in and grab books and run out..”

OUT OF CHARACTER

Fatigued prevents you from using exploration activities while traveling. Your diplomacy checks while standing on the banks of the river are unaffected.

 

Ecmund hangs his head in shame, “I suppose you are right. Please forgive my eagerness. We will wait until morning.” He then begins pulling branches from the banks of the river to start making a fire.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Crafting or Survival check to make the bait. Aid will use the same skill options

 

[admin]

To the Grippli; “You camp with us, yes? More safe in group, okay?”
Pixel takes care of starting the fire, with a eager expression on his face while he does that!
He will also talk as much as possible to the Grippli, trying to learn as much as he can from his People...!
If anyone is wounded, Pixel can cast 2x healing spells before Bedtime...
For the Night: He is available for the same Guarding duties as when the last time the group Camped...

Victor realizes he's seen something like this before and makes some minimally helpful suggestions. Aid 13
