My brothers were there.” He points to where the meteorites crashed. “There is a wise Oak..,” Michael laughed, apparently he had made a joke but didn’t reveal any further details. “Illisi, is who you’re looking for.

Tsak Rezar What's our next move team? Sable and Kiwina, do you need to rest or do you want to move now to seek a cure? Elyas I am concerned that if we delay too long, our friends' conditions will worsen and become more like that crazed crab we fought. The quicker we find the cause of the problem, the better suited we will be to heal the disease. Falco Ambersier "So the crab had this disease and was unusually aggressive. Sable, you will let us know if you starting to feel like you are not yourself right? " he looks at the treant "You to my large friend. Since we don't know what this disease dose best to be careful." Gothruk Gore Weather it be to further investigate the weeds, or check the Trent camp we need to go north. While we're walking you can have a look at Sable's injuries. Furthermore the Trent's might have more information on the most recent cataclysmic events. Or if this has happened before. Gothruk reasons.

Rolth remembers what they were told by Fergal and Galene. "Hey Michael, did you report some unnatural occurrence in this area to Fergal before the storm hit? Did it have something to do with your missing brothers? Are you sure that none of you touched the red weeds? It's ok, you can trust us, we just need to know what really happened so we can help your brothers." (Sense Motive = 16 to tell whether he is lying or hiding something)

“Fergal Galene? Oh… Fergal and Galene. I'm sure they are aware. The Ancients, being us communicate quite well. There are still many dormant treats that pass on messages.. well less now because of the rain or reign of terror. Our race is far too intelligent to touch foreign plant life.” Suddenly, the giant tree got serious and his perception of the “younger” races became clearer. It then disappeared. Rolth even through the rambling can tell the treant is being as truthful as possible.
The treant is relatively quiet for a moment as Falco approaches to inspect the itch. “Oh, sure.. But no it’s a day’s walk from here but of course I’ve been walking since this morning so.. What time is it.. Oh my it’s slightly past noon. It will be dark by the time we get there. Maybe about half a day. I noticed several other adventurer groups wandering around… “Stay away from the crash sites.” He suddenly yells at a group checking out a site on the beach. Most of the Petals wish to move on toward the treant village. They also discuss the possible reasons for the sickness.

Flaco, alternating between running and walking just to keep up, stays close to the treant.
"Michael, how many of your people are active at this point on the island? You said there are a lot of dormant ones as well, would be know by looking that it was a dormant treant? There will be a lot of rebuilding to be done as us young races need to live inside buildings.

The Petals decide to follow Michael through the beach and into the woods. On the way, Michael rambles on and on (at 30 feet per) about the fact that he said village but meant a grove. All the treants meet in a grove. There is a bigger meeting called a moot set to begin tomorrow at noon but Michael explains that the infected will irritate all the treants and an irritated treant is never a good thing. “I know.. Terrible reason but have you met an angry treant,” he asks. “You don’t want to.” Michael didn’t answer Falco’s question.

Rolth is oblivious to Michael's evasion of Falco's question, but is keeping a sharp lookout for signs of more red grass, meteor strike sites, treants, and other potential threats or areas of interest. He will also offer to carry Falco in a dignified fashion, since we are moving fairly quickly.

Elyas falls behind slightly, as he isn't listening very closely to the treant talking. He nods politely, but is pretty sure the treant isn't looking at him.
He spends the time during the hike looking around at the landscape, looking for where meteors have hit, other areas with floodslain bodies, damaged buildings, etc. It seems a lot has changed in just a few days on this island, and will likely take a lot of time to recover.

I have truths.” “The gods are unhappy and their is a rath is unstoppable. There is a balance to the Wold, the treants have felt the tilts for a long time. It is expected that the lower races caused this issue. They caused all the other interventions.” Michael then goes on to explain his theories on why Marteaus uniting the humanoids was a bad idea.

Do the cone from trees or sentient creatures? Can someone become a treant? “Young man… questions. Seeds and the wind.. Have you ever eaten anything with seeds in it? You may have a treant growing within you.” With this the large tree winked and stepped forward toward a large grove of trees. Day has crested and night is taking over. There is a large burning sinkhole, burning trees and an argument. “Galene, it was not the taurs that caused the meteorites. You can’t just blame the younger races when something doesn’t make sense.” A thin cedar-like treant stands beneath the larger Galene. “Eleena, you do not understand. The taurs are not native to the islands. They are invaders.” “I am not native to the islands, half of anything outside of the treants are not native. This is not going to resolve the current issue and how we are going to deal with the mutants surrounding the grove. The others need assurances of their safety before they meet for the moot tomorrow afternoon.” Another treant joins and addresses Galene, “we have infected treant. What are we going to do?” “That’s not possible.” Galene then left to investigate the claim leaving Michael and Eleena. Michael approached Eleena and began to speak. Eleena stopped him and impatiently waited for him to speak slower. “These are your heroes?” She said, disappointment evident.

It’s the one in the center of the sinkhole. Please take a look and let me know what you think is going on. Please be careful because it seems that even the oldest race in the Wold is being affected. With Finnian’s sudden plant display Eleena looks on with interest. “Perhaps, there is some hope in all this. Suddenly a loud crack and Eleena turns. “Please, help me prove to the others that the younger races can be just as substantial to the Wold as the treants are. Help us figure out what’s going on here.

If a tree can be found Falco will take his time and climb as well. {Take 10 for 13} He studies as best he can trying to approach the problem in different ways.
At the Crater's Lip (Helpful DM Cayzle) Monday February 5th, 2018 6:16:41 PM Rolth wants to get everyone healed up, and then climb a tree to see down into the sinkhole.
Kiwina needs some healing (he’s down 11 hp). And he mentions creeping up under cover.
Tsak asks if the party wants to make an extended pause for healing ... it would take a day at least for natural healing to do much.
Sable suggests that he should not look because he is already so big and formidable. He seems to be heroically suggesting a weaker party member for the “honor.” [OOC comment from Cayzle: LOL!]
But evidently the time for heroics is NOW, not tomorrow. No healing takes place before some in the party investigate, howsoever indirectly.
Falco seeks to climb a tree, but the DC15 makes that hard for the little fellow.
Finnian tries to climb but fails with a nat one! [OOC: Note that under non-combat conditions, like these, yes, you can take 10 ...] Eventually he gets his climbing legs ... and takes a good look with a Perception check of 25. And he calls for light.
Elyas casts Light on a stone and tosses it into the crater. That helps!
Finnian gets a good look over the sinkhole lip and down into the depths. He sees that the relatively small amount of red grass surrounding the crater only gets more dense within the crater. The grasses are moving in the breeze ... but there is no breeze!
Not only does Finnian see the writhing mess of red weeds, but also a big crystal half buried at the center of the crater. It is swirling with prismatic colors as it seems to react to the growth around it.

(Perception=19) Tsak peers over the lip of the crater. He sees grass, swaying? And a big stone that seems to be changing colors in time to the swaying grass. Nothing happens. It's a bit hypnotic, he watches for a while, but nothing continues to happen. Eventually Tsak gets bored and goes in search of something to eat...

"I can't help but noticing that Sable is also injured." Although Kiwina can't help observing, if he is worried about going berserk that might not be a bad thing.
With his companions climbing in trees -- in a rather undignified fashion in Kiwina's opinion, although if he examined his reasons it's likely simply that a centaur is not built for such things -- Kiwina questions what he is doing here, outside a smelly crater with a humming crystal. . . Day has crested, and night is taking over. Kiwina feels an urgent need to look at the stars, which have been his guide since he first learned to paddle a canoe out of sight of land, if only to get a little normalcy back into life after the storm.
"See anything, Finnian?"

Elyas is not close enough to see much of anything in the crater, but hopes his light was some help tot he party members that can get a better look at whatever is going on in the crater (Perception of 4 with a nat 1!)
Should we move in to investigate, or take some time to heal up and prepare? I am low on energy right now, and will not be much help if another crab comes out of the crater...

Falco, frankly unsettled by this whole thing, glances up and notices a great deal of cloud cover. "Its dark, too dark. A lot of cloud. Careful, its going to be darker then it should be."
As this gets out of his mouth the dog barks and he shudders.

Rolth is freaked out by the lack of stars when Kiwina notes it to the group, but then realizes it is just the clouds blotting out the moon and stars. (Knowledge Nature =10, success!) At the yelp from the sickly dog in the sinkhole, he glances around warily, but only notices what looks like treants moving in the far distance--we probably won't be getting any help from them when dealing with whatever now surrounds us. (Perception = 16)
(OOC: I posted a map with a best guess re where everyone is. Note that Finnian is still up in the tree, lucky him! The stump-looking things are intended to represent the burning trunks near the crater.)
"Storm never went away, Kiwina says. He's not as blind as a human under these circumstances, but he is not happy as he looks for a defensible position among the debris-strewn terrain.

Tsak rushes back out of the woods toward the rest of the team. He's a bit pale and shaking and not really sure why. Guys I had a terrible feeling back in the woods there. I know it's not much to go on but I think we need to be very careful in this place. Actually I think we shouldn't spend a lot of time around this crystal. It clearly has the ability to infect people, and who knows if it will speed up the infection by being near it. I vote we get to a safe (half a day walk) distance and concentrate on healing the group whilst we work out what to do next.

The clouds are unsettling to the group but at least they are only clouds. Outside the glow of the crater and the light produced by the group is an increasing canine presence. They increasingly yelp, talk or growl.. Whatever they may be doing but it sounds like they are planning something.
Falco Ambersier hides behind the bigger Petals but his perception picks up movement within the wood behind him. Kiwina notices fallen trees and a berm of dirt near the back of the crater.

Elyas casts light again, this time on the crossbow bolt he had at the ready once no dogs showed themselves. He fires it towards one of the vague shadows hoping to allow his team to see more clearly. He then readies another bolt.

Thursday February 8th, 2018 9:31:28 PM Tsak Rezar wonders what the dogs are up to and readies for a fight, focusing his attention to the southwest.
Falco Ambersier casts light on a nearby branch while Elyas sends light outside their ring by firing an illuminated crossbow bolt among the shadowy figures.
Rolth Niheow sees the danger and informs the others. Ready with his glaive, he awaits an attack. Similarly Kiwina is alert and ready.
Gothruk adds to the light with a sunrod, then stands prepared for an anticipated charge.
Finnian calls out that there are at least twelve. Taking advantage of the light sources his allies have provided fires a shot at one of the dogs who emits a gurgling yelp of pain.
Provoked by the attack, the wounded dog and those near it come in to attack the nearest prey. As they come into the light, their gruesome visage becomes clearly visible. Their eyes are blood-streaked red and their mouths foam a macabre pink. Blood seeps from eyes, nose, mouth, and ears and the clotted blood soaking their fur cracks as they advance as the scabrous coating is torn by their movement.
The wounded dog hit by Finnian rushes forward only to be struck down by Kiwana’s readied spear. Though not a critical hit, combined with the damage from the half-elf’s arrow, it is sufficient to put the beast down.
The goblin dog to its left joins its pack mate and runs straight into Rolth’s readied glaive. The bloody beast is not deterred by the wound it received and continues its approach. The liontaur’s reflexes, however, are too much for it as he nearly slices the dog in half before it can get close enough to attack.
The other goblin dogs on that side move in. Although three attempt to attack the centaur, only one manages to land a bite on Kiwina (5 points of damage). Kiwina make a fortitude save DC 19.
A sixth one rushes the half orc. Gothruk lands a solid blow with his guisarme, but the blow is not sufficient to kill it. The dog tears into the Tsak’s leg, leaving a nasty wound. (Damage 5 and make a fortitude save DC 19.
The other dogs growl and pace at the edge of the light, but do not join in the fray--yet.
A hair-raising sound erupts from the darkness outside the circle of light. It sounds like countless crazed voices wordlessly screaming simultaneously, somehow all coming from the same location.

Falco Ambersier weaves his way towards the south end of the group. "This is probably a bad idea." Once in position he drops a pool of grease on the ground under two dogs. (In the future supply the save DC and identify which dogs in the text as well as on the map.)
Of the two dogs targeted by the grease spell, the surviving dog (#8) is able to retain its footing, but that is the least of its worries. The mutant dog shambles over to it, one of its six mouths implausibly expanding beyond the size of the beast's body. With a single slurping bite, it engulfs the other dog. The swallowing dog’s side heaves and bulges momentarily. Soon after the motion ceases, a seventh mouth forms on the body of this hideous aberration. Perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {The beast appears to be slightly larger in size after its sudden repast.}
The goblin dog (#3) on Kiwina momentarily slips in the blood-slickened grass, unable to land an attack on the centaur.
Dog #7 seems mesmerized by the fate of its pack mate and whines pitifully at the seven mouthed abomination.
Dog #11 rushes in, ignoring Sable and heading straight for Gothruk. Snarling viciously, it fails to land its bite. (Sable, take an attack of opportunity against AC11 due to its charging.)
Dog #12 moves closer to the mutant dog and farther away from the sinkhole, staying just out of reach of Sable.

Gothruk takes a 5ft step towards the creature then attacks. To-hit =23, Damage = 9
He's not going to let this thing get away, though he's cautious now that it's spitting some horrible liquid. AOO in case it tries to get away. To hit = 10 No point rolling damage.

He then takes a step back. -- The unconscious dog sighs, with a final breath and dies. Sable ”Darn it, right in the eye.” Sable takes a 5 foot step back and goes into a total defensive stance... Elyas tries again to shoot into the mouther, as he is out of magic for the day and in need of sleep. “Keep at it, it has to go down soon!” -- Elyas tries to keep his head up
Rolth Niheow is spitting mad. He swallows the bile rising up in his throat and moves up to striking range, swinging his glaive that lands with a satisfying smack. "I hope you felt that, you disgusting creature!" Remembering Falco's proclaimed wisdom on this thing (good job on the knowledge rolls!), Rolth looks closer and wonders, "Did I actually hurt this thing, or did it just ooze away from my mighty blow?

--------- “Well you know what they say. A Mouther has to mouth,” she said to herself. The Mouther moved toward Rolth. The mouths along her canine body began to shoot from her.

Sable will delay, to right before the Mouther's move before drinking the potion. If he receives no other healing, potions heals 4 HP.

Finnian fires again. Its a straight shot but a weak one. "I can't draw the cord back far enough up here," he thinks to himself, "Better than being on the ground though."
"I've run out of healing for the day, but I can help heal tomorrow" he calls out after hearing his friends asking for help.

Rolth, caught in the hideous sucking maw of the beast, is forced to drop his glaive, but manages to snatch up his morning star from its loop on his belt. With a last gasp of fury, he swings and claws wildly at the thing. (Morning star = crit confirmed, 20 damage; Paw 1 13 = miss; Paw 2 10 = miss) With his last gasp of rage, he smashes the thing like there is no tomorrow--because otherwise there might not be.

Thoughtfully freaked out by the mouther Falco summons a small glob of acid that he tosses at the creature.
{Hit: 12 vs Touch} {Damage: 2}
As soon as the acid leaves his hand he takes a couple of steps backwards.

Finnian fires again and lets Sable know he is out of healing for the day. The shot lands, but it doesn’t pierce the rubbery hide of the foul beast.
Sable, learning there is no healing coming, takes the potion, healing 4 HP.

Falco Ambersier summons a small glob of acid that he tosses at the creature that sizzles satisfyingly as it hits.
The mouther hisses/howls/shrieks/squeals/blasphemes/rasperries/yodels as it collapses quivering onto the ground. Its cacophonous death wails fade as its collective mouths are absorbed into the sanguineous mass.
Bloodied, low on spells, and some sickened from the illness which racked these creatures, the Petals realize the fight is over.

Rolth staggers back a short distance from the loathsome thing, waves of fatigue and illness bringing him to his knees. It is all he can do to lean down and drag his fallen glaive away with him as he goes. He kneels to try to catch his breath. "That dog got its teeth into me, and I think some of the sickness came with it. Can someone check out these wounds? And is anyone else in the same plight?"

I think we should withdraw and spend a day healing the party. Also I'm at a loss as to how we learn more about it, does anyone have any ideas? I definitely think that going into the crater and touching it is a really bad idea. I don't know how we stop it from affecting other creatures, although anything with any sense will steer well clear of this place I should imagine Tsak is prepared to look after a number of the party and provide long term care for the next day or two.

Realizing that many of the Petals are feeling bad effects from the mouther Falco sighs.
"A pyrrhic victory it seems but a victory none the less. It is too bad that as I learn more spells there is little avenue to help heal."
He looks at the crater and moves a little closer, still keeping some distance.
"Fasinating thing really and I would love to look at it closer but Tsak you may be right, a day of healing may be needed if fates allow it that is.

Said what?? - DM Matt Tuesday February 20th, 2018 8:29:45 PM
A wave of fatigue washes over the group. Some of you are painfully sick with a terrible itch and a rash that is spreading. You feel as if you have a fever and your belly lurches but you are wide awake. The treants begin to step back into the picture as small earthquakes shake the ground. “What happened here?” Says Michael standing over the Mouther. “I have not seen one of these in a century.” “This is not just a Mouther, Micheal,” Eleena says. “This is an abomination of nature. We need to examine these. Can someone bring them to the cave system over there?” She points to a dark section of the forest lit by torchlight. Suddenly, a noise erupts from the crystal. Micheal stands over it, with the stone in his large wooden hands. Effects of the sound… All within 10ft must make a DC (20 + 2) Fort Save or gain the Deafened AND Stunned Conditions All within 30ft must make a DC (15 + 2) Fort Save or gain the Deafened Condition All within 60ft must make a DC (10 + 2) Fort Save or gain the Deafened Condition
Eleena curses but nothing can be heard over the noise of the crystal. Micheal, realizing what he has done drops the crystal and falls backward Deafened and stunned.

Rolth's sensitive ears, already tortured by the weird keening of the mouther, are overwhelmed by this latest outburst, and shut down in protest. (Fort save = 8) He thinks un-Woldian thoughts about hasty young treants. He looks around to see what else the crystal might be doing--or causing others to do... (Perception = 19)

(Perception=11, FortSave=24) What the heck is that noise? Tsak looks all around, both to locate the source (of course, that aweful crystal!) and to check what else is in the area. Eleena, please, is it possible for the treants to guard that crystal for 2 days whilst we rest and heal our wounded? Hopefully by then we will have learned more and will have some idea of what to do with, or about, the horrid thing.

Elyas puts his hands to his ears, already sensitive from the first time today that he went deaf. Luckily, this time he is able to keep from losing his hearing - Fort save 20.
Don't touch that! He yells, but realizes the Treant is standing dazed and probably doesn't hear anything.

Falco claps his hands over his ears but he is to late as the sound of the crystal suddenly stops along with all sound. He stumbles backwards away from the crystal looking around confused and more then a little afraid.

[Fort=11 It stands to reason that if I was helping Kiwina I would be over there, but I never moved so...]
The loud boom startles Finnian and he jumps, turning around ready (but not) for another fight. It is then that he realizes that he can't hear. "Can you hear? What happened? I can't hear," Finnian yells over the sound of nothingness.
Michael's Roots - DM Matt d20=5 ; d20=20 ; d20=1 ; d20=18 ; Wednesday February 21st, 2018 8:31:09 PM
Michael stands motionless, his carved black eyes are closed or missing. It’s hard to tell between the seams of wooden bark. The crystal sits against Michael’s roots, which seem to be dug into the soft dirt within the meteorite site. It pulsates Rolth and Kiwina only Highlight to display spoiler: { you noise the crystal changes colors but those colors are slowly being overwhelmed by red. }
- Eleena looks at Tsak, she grinds her wooden teeth as she glares at Michael. “Guard the crystal for you?” Sense Motive vs DC 5: Highlight to display spoiler: { You sense a great deal of compassion mixed with a traditional mixture of treant dogma that seems to be a struggle. Also, Eleena is emotional, but unwilling to show it, about Michael’s situation. } She pauses. Her wooden features soften. “I think we can arrange something for you.”
(Everyone take 600 XP for an excellent fight. This should bring you up to Level 3)
