DM MikeK - We should take it with us Tuesday February 8th, 2022 7:44:58 PM
Bartomus lightens up a little bit, but it seems he’s been surprised one too many times to completely relax.
The group mounts the beetles, with Evandale answering Zanderallen. “No, we still must stay in contact with the beetles until we reach Elvengard. The Entwining protects our town, but the Crying Wood remains as dangerous as ever outside of our border.” The elf indicates Jella. “Only Jella was able to walk unmolested through the Wood, and that was before the Sargrass Event. We do not know if Florin is strong enough to protect her now that the Wood’s power has been amplified.”
Stohp wonders if the group should go back and retrieve the bracelet to prevent the burrowing ghouls from stealing it. Evandale considers for a moment. “It likely makes no difference if we take it or they take it,” he offers slowly. “If the bracelet leaves the altar, we could be in the same position.” He thinks some more. “That is, if the bracelet is even intact any longer. It could have melded with the altar, or with Florin for that matter. The possibilities are…endless.”
Evandale’s thoughts on the bracelet are interrupted by more concrete questions about wine. This subject he embraces whole heartedly. “They are indeed grapes, grown in the tree branches. There are not many vines, meaning not much wine. But we have patience, and with patience, great things are possible.”
The elf appears to have a passion for winemaking, and appears happy to expound upon the process at length.
But first, the group needs to decide whether to go back as Stohp suggests.

But, what if it is something like the entwining they keep talking about. Where everything melds together and becomes part of something bigger?" Bartomus asked. He wasn't sure of anything in all of this, but he could understand the other taur's position.
"Could we send the hawk to scout out the bracelet and see if it is even on the altar?"

Brittanica says, "Could the hawk safely navigate through the air or would it be subject to the normal protections of the wood? If I purchase a small silver mirror I could scry but I would need like 500 more gold"

(I intended to have her bring this up as people were starting down the pyramid.)
"It'll take like five minutes and something that important shouldn't just be left where anything can happen to it. Take it back and lock it somewhere safe so when in a hundred years this same thing happens there's no risk of it being lost or stolen or taken by a magpie because it's shiny. I mean come on, this is like basic sense to keep powerful magical items secure not lying on a table in the middle of nowhere."
Stohp walks back up the pyramid, grumbling a little about stairs, and checks to see if the bracelet is still there.

It feels pretty secure to me. Except for the earth gliding ghoul. I mean maybe Bart could turn into an earth elemental and fish around for it but I'm not convinced it's there."
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 115(4 non-lethal)/119 AC: 30 T: 13 FF: 30 CMD: 24 Wednesday February 9th, 2022 4:59:44 PM "Let's discuss practicality. Spell casters what options do we have for chasing two creatures that seem to be able to burrow through solid stone at will. Do we have the ability to chase them down? If yes then let's go get them. If no then we'll have to hope the bracelet melding into the altar is safeguard enough. And if we can't chase them do we have any options to seal the pit back up? They can obviously burrow through stone but they were content to slumber beneath the pyramid before, if closed back in they may be content to go back to slumber."
Delia (Hannah) HP: 75/91; AC 28/17/22; CMD 31 Wednesday February 9th, 2022 5:10:03 PM "Stupid creatures that can't be tracked down normally..." Delia mutters to Hawky (herself) discontentedly.

I don't think we'll be able to track them. I personally don't have a way to shape stone. Brittanica?"
DM MikeK - Stupid creatures that can't be tracked down normally Wednesday February 9th, 2022 7:05:22 PM
The party walks back up the pyramid to the altar.
But, as Stock has pointed out, everyone saw the bracelet sink into the altar until it disappeared. There is no trace of it when the group approaches.
Zanderallen turns his mind to the issue of the two remaining ghouls. Can anyone in the group track them, and barring that, can anyone in the group seal the tunnel?
The Shields continue discussing options.

Brittanica says, "Well I can cast detect creature but a thin sheet of lead or running water blocks it so if they are digging around in the stones of the temple my sensor won't really do anything. I don't suppose we could try to lure them out somehow? Do they like meat? Do we have any meat we could use as bait?"

Once she's searched and confirmed it isn't there Stohp throws up her hands. (perception 20) "Oh forget it. Who knows what happened to it. Maybe it's just in the rock and the borrowing ghoul gets it, maybe it's gone, maybe it vanished to wherever the dead guy's spirit rests. There's not much we can do about it and the problem looks fixed so I guess lets just go."
She grumbles under her breath about magic artifacts, weird rituals, and lax security for about half the return trip to town.

Stock laughs at Stohp's annoyance. "Yeah, I don't get it either. I was half hoping somebody would ask me to chop that altar in half to see if we can find the bracelet inside."

I mean, they may be trapped within their own world down there. If we are worried about them coming after us, I think there is a way I can make it a bit painful for them to climb up and out of that hole. But, it won't last more than half a day or so."
Bartomus looked about and back at the hole dropping into the temple.

Could we consecrate the area? Or trap it? Or set up magical guardians? What do you think Evendale, I think the necklace is quite safe, for now, but would the altar being destroyed harm the ritual?"
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 115(4 non-lethal)/119 AC: 30 T: 13 FF: 30 CMD: 24 Thursday February 10th, 2022 2:04:50 PM "Seems we will have to leave the forest to look after itself. I'd guess their is no way to get the bracelet out. And I really don't want to be breaking things at the ritual site. Might permanently end the Entwining practice. Evandale will have to make sure the next group to do an entwining in a couple hundred years keeps their eyes open. Let's go celebrate." Zanderallen starts heading to the beetles, not perfectly satisfied but happy enough with how things turned out.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 75/91; AC 28/17/22; CMD 31 Thursday February 10th, 2022 5:48:02 PM "The ghouls seemed happy to not eat us until I went down there," Delia offered, "Either way, we crippled them by killing all the minions."
Delia makes sure she ends up on the beetle she rode to the ritual site. She listens good-naturedly to Stohp's grumbling on the way back, agreeing with some points about having to deal with weird magic.
DM MikeK - leave the forest to look after itself. Thursday February 10th, 2022 7:43:09 PM
Having assured themselves the bracelet is not just sitting on the altar, the Shields more or less determine to just leave it alone.
Stock does linger a bit, half hoping for someone to ask him to smash the altar. Ohen actually suggests it.
But Zanderallen thinks better of it, and Evandale is absolutely appalled by the idea.
Discussion briefly turns to trapping the ghouls, luring out the ghouls, and/or protecting the altar from the ghouls.
In the end, The Shields decide to return to Elvengard, though they are not wholly satisfied with the experience.
Nonetheless, they ride back, listening to Stohp’s occasional grumbling.
Back at Elvengard, the party is shown to their rooms, as well as some baths, and given the opportunity to rest and clean up before the evening’s celebratory dinner.

Brittanica takes advantage of the bath.
She plans to ask more in depth about the elves wine making techniques later.

Stohp gets over being grumpy by the time they return to town. She has a good meal and goes to bed early.

Stock does not partake in the strong drink but enjoys himself as loudly at the celebration as anybody. He offers multiple cheers to Florin and stays awake late into the night talking with the Shields and practicing the few words he knows in the elf language.
Bartomus(Rod) HP: 92/92 0/120 AC 21; CMD 20 Melee +12;Perc+15;Heal+9 2d8+2 Friday February 11th, 2022 10:10:31 AM
Bartomus took to the bath like a fish to water. He started to relax within the warm water and just gave some thought to the events in the forest. He was still uncertain as to who the undead had been before and what role they had played in the torment of the sentience of the Crying Wood. But, with a few deep breaths and warm water, he relaxed.
Eventually, he washed up and tried to make himself presentable considering all of his finery was back in the headquarters. But, he at least made a point of trying to look better than when he got off the giant beetle as he walked into the hall where the dinner was to occur.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 119/119 AC: 30 T: 13 FF: 30 CMD: 24 Friday February 11th, 2022 5:13:35 PM
Zanderallen channels energy a few times to heal everyone's injuries before they disperse. Sliding into his bath he lets the stress building ever since they first enter the Crying Woods out. Especially here in the village the malevolent presence was completely gone. He washes, grooms, and pulls out the spider silk clothes from the drow from their neatly folded space in his bag of holding. Putting them on he prepares to enjoy himself at the celebration.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 91/91; AC 24/17/18; CMD 31 Friday February 11th, 2022 9:33:53 PM
As the Shields disperse to prepare, Delia remains outside. Enjoying the restored peace and quiet. She'll give her cloak a good dust-off and call that good for preparing for the celebration.

Ohen rests and prepares for the dinner, glad that this mission has been less harrowing then the previous ones.
DM MikeK - Celebration Sunday February 13th, 2022 12:34:01 PM
Delia dusts off her cloak, and declares herself ready. Some of her companions take more time, with Bartomus and Zanderallen in particular enjoying a nice, long, hot, bath.
Soon enough comes dinner, a buffet feast of nuts, berries, fruits, vegetables, breads and sauces in nearly every configuration and preparatory style one could conceive. There is also ale and wine. Very noticeable among the plates, platters, and bowls is an absolute absence of meat.
Evandale is more than happy to enter into a winemaking discussion, explaining they grow the vines in the upper canopy of the trees using the tree branches to provide nutrients and irrigation channels to capture and provide the appropriate amount of water.
After the meal comes music and dancing. The elves favor strings and long, evolved, waltz-like dances which are quite enticing to observe, and nearly impossible for a novice. To one side, several children are attempting the steps under the watchful, and amused, eyes of their elders.
The meal is pleasant, the music is nice, the alcohol is strong, and anyone staying long enough find themselves in the company of friends, some of whom would like to become a lot friendlier.
Morning comes, as it always does.
Evendale and Jella meet the party in the hall.
“We thought to accompany you back to the sequoia,” Evandale offers.
Bartomus has hopefully remembered to prepare his Travel via Plants spells for the return.
If there is nothing else, the party finds themselves shaking hands, and ready to depart.

Stohp thanks everyone for the hospitality and tells them to call them back if there's any further trouble.

The party was delightful. Bartomus tried to join the children in learning the moves of the intricate dance failing at times, but doing better than he actually expected. The children laughed, the elders laughed, and Bartomus enjoyed the ale.
During the course of the evening, it became pretty clear they were leaving the next morning. Bartomus got up a bit blurry-eyed and managed to clean up, pack, and then go find a place to undertake his morning meditations. They were leaving. He would need to remember the spell that he had been taught to travel back through the giant tree. He spent a good deal of his mediation replaying over and over just that spell.
He joined in with the others coming out of their rooms. He swung his pack over his shoulder and smiled at their new friends.
"Let's do this!" Bartomus said.
Performance - 23 for the dancing; cast the spell...

Stock bows low at the sequoia to their hosts and attempts to repeat an elvish goodbye that Sid once taught him, "May the earth feed the roots of your family and may the light have them grow healthy and strong." Of course given his lack of knowing much of the actual language though, he's really not sure what exactly he says.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 91/91; AC 24/17/18; CMD 31 Monday February 14th, 2022 1:04:46 PM
Once the dancing begins, Delia puts herself in an out of the way spot, watching the celebration and sharing her food with Hawky. The dancing and music is beautiful, but its elegance reinforces her out of place feeling at large social events. She ducks out as soon as she deems it acceptable and heads to bed.
At the sequoia, she wishes their hosts well, "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask us for help again. We'll come."
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 119/119 AC: 30 T: 13 FF: 30 CMD: 24 Monday February 14th, 2022 5:53:42 PM
Zanderallen enjoys the festivities, hanging around later into the evening, but excusing himself before things get too friendly. He wakes the next morning with only some discomfort.
He bows to Evandale and Jella at their offer, "We would be glad of your company. You shall make much better traveling companions than those that accompanied us on our way in." Wishing them well he prepares for the odd sensation of stepping into a tree.
(OOC: Zanderallen leveled by a fair margin.)

Ohen will enjoy the food and wine, although he stops himself from having too much wine after learning they are leaving the next morning. He will enjoy the pleasant conversation of Evandale and the other elves, and enjoy the dancing, although he will not attempt to join himself. He will go to bed before it gets too terrible late.

Delia idly wonders how long the Shields will have before the next crisis arises. Thinking, she realizes she doesn't really have any hobbies outside of fighting baddies, practicing shooting, and making arrows. For fighting baddies. Maybe she should take up... non-violent woodworking. Or... surely there were many good things she could do if the Shields had some downtime. She'd figure them out.
DM MikeK - And we're back Tuesday February 15th, 2022 6:38:12 PM
Brittanica and Evandale have a very long, very detailed, very boring conference on winemaking. She loves it. Everyone else avoids them like the plague.
The night eventually ends, as nights do.
Bartomus remembers to recover the correct spells.
The Shields head back to the sequoia. They note the absence of the Crying Wood all the way to it.
Evandale waves a hand in the direction beyond the tree. “If all is returned to normal, the border is another 100 feet off.”
Bartomus casts his spells, and the party finds itself back on the shore of the lake. Brother Carlo, of the Circle, has been holding vigil. With him is a turtle boat.
“You’re back!” he exclaims happily. “Did it work?”

Brittanica scribbles notes on Elvish Winemaking on several cocktail napkins at the party. She tells the others, "To get far enough in the Starmages guild I need to publish a work.

He looked back at the giant tree and smiled realizing the potential such a means of travel might have in the future for himself and the Shields. When he saw the turtle boat out in the water, however, he smiled even wider. There was just something fun about riding atop a turtle as it worked its way through the waters and waves of the lake.

The Shields take a day or two to relax, and then work their way back into life on Floating City.
Brittanica spends a lot of time crafting.
Stock begins to work on a new project in the workshop. Once Delia replenishes her arrows, she joins him, and tries her hand at a carving.
Zanderallen fills in Pepper, but then makes her promise to remain extremely vague on the details of the Entwining and how to travel through the woods. The reporter’s eyes flash at the request, but she sees the reasoning and promises to be good.
Stohp makes the rounds, including letting Drommond Deepforge know their quest has been successful.
All in all, Float is quiet. Another Mask Day is approaching, and the city always seems to hold its collective breath in the weeks leading up to it.

Bartomus found himself in need of a bath and a long nap. Waking up much later than expected, Bartomus went about working on the bone carving of the various adventures the Shields had undertaken to date. He roughed out the different panels and felt good about his progress, but realized that hours had passed and he really hadn't left his room.
He left his room, cleaned up and made a point of visiting both the druids and the WLA. The objective was with both was to update them as to what the Shields had discovered and done. He also wanted to purchase something to eat along the way.

Of course I can't see through Illusions and it might be a big jarring for those who can. If you would like, I could make for you a fairly plain mask that you could decorate with illusions."
Delia (Hannah) HP: 91/91; AC 24/17/18; CMD 31 Friday February 18th, 2022 6:17:11 PM "Come on, Brit, where's the fun in a fake magic mask? There are all kinds of family shops and orphanages that make masks for this festival."
She'll go with Bart to talk to the druids and WLA as she's considering joining the latter organization.

Stohp has a full room of clothing and masks and stuff for any possible occasion but it's all taur sized and shaped so no one else could use it but maybe Bartomus (bought one of every outfit listed in the manuals a long time ago so can just handwave her having any possible set of clothing XD)

Brittanica finds that she is able to advance her knowledge as both a Transmuter and a Bloodwitch. She says, "Perhaps I'll buy a mask, I don't know. How much money did we get from the last adventure? I need to update my spellbook a little."
