Finninan volunteers to take a better look after a boost from one of the Taurs. He is able to see a huge field of colored grasses. To the East is the mast of a boat, this is at least one-hundred feet away. North, are Crystal Mountains, several miles away. West, is the top of several cross-hatched homes. These homes are closest at fifty feet from you The last thing you notice is that the sun seems to be stuck a little after noon. If you are a centaur or a liontaur you are able to confirm the mast on the East side. If you are not then a quick search near you reveals 14 slants of wood hidden within the grass.

Elyas watches with interest as Sable tries to use the boards to split the grass. That's a great idea! slow going, but if it means getting through without hurting ourselves it's perfect
He listens to the report from thos that can see over the grasses.
It seems to me we should head for the buildings. If there are people living there they could give us information or even point us in the direction of a Rapkes. if nothing else, it's the closest option.

Tsak, re-adjusting the new backpack he bought to help him carry his accumulating 'stuff' (including 3 new quivers of bolts) hands Kiwina 95 GP as his share for the purchase of the wand. I agree with Finnian that we check out the huts, hopefully the ships will wait till later. Can those boards be tied to our feet? Would that help in getting thru the grass more quickly, maybe something like snow shoes? Let's check the huts and see how the natives use them.

Gothruk will chip in 100 gold towards the wand. It seems that more people want to go towards the houses than the boat. Since that is closer and will likely have information on the boat if there is anyone there, He'll start leading the group in that direction, using the planks to spread the grass out of or path.

Finnian asks if the boards can be tied to your feet and votes to head to the buildings. Elyas, Tsak, Falco and Finnian talk of heading to the buildings.

Gothruk votes to head to the houses and begins to weave his way through the grass. The grass is thick and tall. It’s easier to use the planks but it doesn’t help you move much faster. (Reflex Save DC 18 to travel through the grasses without issue.) -- The tall grass falls under the 3-foot long plank of wood, leaving a 2-foot wide path.

Tsak scans the huts, noting they are quite tall and also that they are partially dug in, whether to house taurs or for defense isn't immediately obvious. It must mean that it rains very little here, because they would fill with water easily.
He also see's a wide path thru the grass leading North toward the mountains and decides to keep a lookout in that direction whilst Kiwina establishes cordial relations with the natives.

Elyas notices the path cut into the grass leading away from the village and points it out to the others. Looks like someone has cut through the grass, which means it has likely been here for some time, not as new as the grass we saw in our island.
He will move up with the group, watching for movement coming from behind them in the grass while the more diplomatic members try to make contact with any residents.

Seeing the cut grass Falco quickly picks up a blade or two to examine. Looking them over he smiles and slips the two pieces into his pack.
"Be nice to get some time to exain this grass move closely."
Turning to the houses he simply yells.
"HELLO!! ANYONE HOME? HELLO, HALING WHO WANTS TO TALK OUT HERE."

Gothruk walks into the clearing, as the other yell out, he glances behind, into the grass to make sure they didn't attract any unwanted attention.
Other then that he waits, if no response is forthcoming he'll move towards the closest hut with it's door open and peer inside.

[Perception=20] "I wonder if they are below ground level to keep cooler, this heat is quite sweltering." Finnian adds upon noticing that part of the homes are buried. He then heads over to Falco and takes a look at the grass. This place is quite fascinating isn't it. I've heard that there are nearly 50 different types of grasses here."[/b] He stoops down and examines the grass that Falco had pocketed. "You are right this should be studied in more depth when we have more time." Finnian also takes a few of the grass clippings. If time allows he would also like to examine the huts to see what the walls and roof are made of.

The shouting seems to of scared off whatever creatures were stalking the Petals. The really perceptive members of the group can confirm that. Falco and Finnian take a couple pieces of the grass laying in the pile as the others inspect the home. Finnian finds that the blades of grass in the pile are the same as the grass weaved within the thatched roofs. Finnian finds this is Steel grass. The grass has been known to have many helpful properties in weapons and armor. The shouting does scare up a new commotion within the first home. Several items fell and crashed. The noise sounds like the pitter patter of little feet.. A few of them.
Sable finds a large group of large humanoid tracks leaving the homes and heading out toward the ship. They tracks seem to be of what knocked down the path in the grass. After some further inspection they look like minotaur tracks. Gothruk looks inside the closest home. The large door creaks slowly as it opens under its own weight.
Several large rats scatter as you get a full view of the scene within the home. Gothruk only Highlight to display spoiler: {} A minotaur lies upon the floor of the home. He is armored but this minotaur isn’t like other taurs. The minotaur has brown, brittle-looking vines wrapping his arms and legs. Above his head a mess of dried twigs and dying leaves. If you look further, you notice the minotaur has a massive head wound and looks like he was beaten to death.

(Perception =14) Tsak heads toward the first home and gestures for Falco to join him. He figures that the halfling might be the least intimidating and won't scare those who are inside. The plan is that you do the talking, but I'll only be half a step away should you need me he says before retreating slightly with sword held loosely at side and his best used cart salesman grin plastered on his face.

Elyas looks around the outside of the building while Falco and Tsak check out the interior. He looks for any additional tracks, bodies or signs of fighting.

Falco nods at Task and moves to follow but first picks up some more of the grass.

Ooc how is this Minotaur "isn't like other taurs"?

Gothruk calls out to the others, There's a dead body in here! Taur. Armoured, looks like he took a beating to the head... Ooc how is this Minotaur "isn't like other taurs"? (The taur is a Bramble minotaur. He is half plant.)
When he hears the scampering he'll try and run around to the edge of the house so he can see out behind it, and what might be running away. He'll ready himself to pull his head back in case something comes flying towards him. Gothruk notices they are only rats, thin dehydrated rats. Once Gothruk leaves the doorway it leaves the bloody scene in view of the others. The scene shows a minotaur plant hybrid lying upon the room floor. The room was a mess and a large fight had broken out.
"Hey, that steelgrass might be worth something, Finnian and Falco. If you agree, perhaps we should load up some more to take with us?" If the steelgrass does seem valuable, Rolth will carefully pack a goodly amount in his backpack. After that, he will keep an eye out for a return of the stalkers in the grass. (Perception = 30) Sable would also like sufficient steel grass to make some light armour and will take enough for a suit and to weave into a buckler. But Sable recalls that the grass is only valuable as a weapon or armor. The grass itself is worth nothing. The Manfri though have the skills and tools to work with the grass.
Kiwina looks at the tracks, trying to estimate how many creatures there were and how recently they left. (roll: survival = 19) If they really were headed for the ship, which is still in the area, then they might very well still be in the area.

The day creeps on. The sun rolls halfway across the sky then sets in the location that it rose. The group finds that the taur is quite dead, beyond any hope of healing. There are signs of a struggle but if you look closely you also discover the signs of Sargrass sickness on the corpse.

Sitting near a crude sink is a large light +1 crossbow with 20 bolts Outside, the other homes are all empty. There are no armor or weapons within these.

The sound of screams from the direction of the ship snaps Kiwina out of his daydream, even though it's difficult to hear over the rustling in the grass.
"Do you think these are the minotaurs' homes, or were they raiding? If the homeowners are avoiding us in the grass, I've got no interest in chasing them. If they're minotaurs and may comfe back, I'm sure they'd look favorably on some help. Besides, I'm curious about the ship."

Finnian comes out of the home and examines the traces of blood to see if there is a visible trail or any deceranable pattern. [survival=17]. But then decides to follow the group in the direction of the ship. He makes sure to keep an eye out for anything moving in the grass, and stays in the middle of the group, but always right next to the grass so that he can enter then with a step if need arises. [Perception=18]
"Do be careful with that vial Sable, in these dry conditions that could spread like... Well wildfire," Finnian says (assuming that Sabke grabbed that to and showed the others what he found). "That shield is far too large for me, and shields aren't really my mug of mead, but I would love to take a look at it when we get the chance to rest. The steel grass weaving is quite interesting" he adds.

Another scream as the Petals race to figure out where it is coming from. Once within the path between the small village and the ship you find a long, slender creature is following you. The creature wiggles through the blades of grass. (Know Nature DC 8) Highlight to display spoiler: { You realize this is a Tatzlewurm. Not normally native to the plains } Seventy-five feet East, there are eight Brambles attacking four others. One of the Brambles, bigger then the five others, tears a plant strand from his left arm and wipes the last standing uninfected Bramble. Once the uninfected fall the infected Brambles begin to pull the armor from their bodies. The closest Bramble stands 25 feet from the nearest Petal. The tatzlewurm pounces from the grass and grapples the Infected Bramble. The taur screams and falls backward.

Sable, emerging from the hut spots the Tatzlewurm (knowledge Nature = nat 20 for 24). ”What are you doing here? You are not normally found on the plains...”
Sable also glances at the attacking worm, but is too far away to see what happens (Perception 10).
Sable will draw his weapon and begin moving towards the Brambles. (I figure that Sable will enter combat after the others since he was picking up items - just let me know when I get there...)

Kiwina can't figure out whether to root for the tatzlwurm or the bramble minotaurs. Probably one of the groups of minotaurs, and possibly the group that is down. He hesitates, waiting to see how the minotaurs react to the Petals.

As Elyas looks for a target in the melee, he notices something in the grass (perception 19)

Sable emerging from the hut spots the Tatzlewurm ”What are you doing here? You are not normally found on the plains...” he says then notices that this wurm’s color is the same as the grass, as if it is a variant native here. He prepares for combat.
Kiwina can't figure out whether to root for the tatzlwurm or the bramble minotaurs. Probably one of the groups of minotaurs, and possibly the group that is down. He hesitates, waiting to see how the minotaurs react to the Petals.
Rolth suffers no doubt and charges recruit 7, swinging wide.
Unsure who the good guys are (if there are any) Tsak sights his crossbow at the recruit that Rolth has charged. Unfortunately the bolt narrowly misses the taur and disappears into the long grass beside the path.
Elyas pulls up as they see the battle unfolding in front of them, with the infected taurs seeming to be coming out on top. “Watch out! there's another Tatzlewyrm in the grass!” he cries as he sees the other wurm.
He waits for a clear shot and to see what is going on here. For now he casts Magic Weapon on his crossbow and readies a bolt
Falco follows along behind the others being sure not to get to close to the action. He pauses when someone mentions the infection and casts a Mage Armor to bolster his defenses.
Gothruk sees the chaos and tries to discern if any of the people in front are sane. He'll also move forward slightly keeping his Guisarme pointed at any approaching parties. If anyone approaches with a weapon drawn, without asking for help or something similar he'll attack, using his superior reach to keep them at bay.
Prepared attack: to-hit, 11. No damage. Aoo 1 To-hit, 8. No damage. If anything else gets within his range. Aoo 2 To-hit 17, Damage 8. Aoo 3 To-hit 7, No damage.
Finnian ([Nature=22,Perception=21 Pass,Pass] Not sure who is on our side he chooses to shoot at the non native Worm, but in his confusion the shots are fired high over Gothruk and land somewhere in the grass.

"Who are we fighting," he calls out. -------------
Finnian finds the Tatzelwurm’s color matches the green grasses. A greenish vapor rising from it’s toothy maw. The Tatzelwurm grabs a hold of anything Bramble and coughs poison into the Recruit 8 lungs. The infected Bramble coughs and whines as the poison hits home (+1 DMG) Recruit 7 pulls a Prickle whip from his arm and attacks Rolth. He strikes the liontaur. (Dmg: 5) The Recruit 8 tries to fight off the tatzelwurm but the poison and the creature has the upper hand. Brigand 6 attacks the tatzelwurm but notices the Petals and growls. He eyes are bloodied and his hair is falling from his fur-covered hide. Brigand 6 signals to the others
The second tatzlewurm attacks Brigand 5, grabs the Bramble and bites (5 dmg) Recruit 3 moves 20 ft Sargent moves 30 ft 2 and 4 move 20 ft forward ----- (OOC: There is a Roll20 map) Sargent Bramble 1: AC 17 - HP 25 Recruit Bramble 2: AC 22 - HP 11 Recruit Bramble 3: AC 22 - HP 11 Recruit Bramble 4: AC 22 - HP 11 Brigand Bramble 5: AC 17 - HP 13 - Being attacked by tatzlewurm Brigand Bramble 6: AC 17 - HP 18 Recruit Bramble 7: AC 22 - HP 11 Recruit Bramble 8: AC 22 - HP 10 - Being attacked by tatzlewurm Tatzelwurm: AC 19 - HP 22

Sable moves to where he has a better shot and shoots at the Bramble just above Rolth that is not engaged (I cannot see labels/numbers for the opponents). 20 should hit if it is a Brigand - for 8 piercing damage.

Rolth is enraged by the prickle whip attack, and full attacks the offender--Recruit 7--with his glaive and paws. He eschews biting the diseased thing. (Free action to rage) (Glaive to hit = 12, miss; Paw 1 to hit = 20, miss; Paw 2 to hit = 14, miss) The flurry is ineffectual, and now he is really mad!

Gothruk sees the thing attack Rolth and moves up behind to provide support. He attempts to attack past Rolth but he misses the plant creature. (What is with all these plants trying to kill us time and time again?? Every blade of grass is against us here!)

Recruit 4 attacks tatzlwurm 1 and misses. Brigand 5 ineffectively attacks wurm 1. While Brigand 6 has similar lack of success against wurm 2 Recruit 7 attack Rolth without affect and Recruit 8 has no success attacking wurm 2.
Each tatzlewurm attacks a bramble and misses.

Elyas fires another shot, this one at recruit 2 who just came in swinging at Kiwina.
23 to hit, 7 damage (magic weapon and point blank shot).
He then backs up behind the bulk of the party, feeling quite exposed on the outer flank with so many bramble taurs in that direction.

Falco tosses the bit of glitter into the air while whispering a short phrase. As soon as the dust leaves his finger an explosion of glitter envelops the wurm and its attackers. Judging by their reaction it appears that Brigand 5 and Recruit 4 are blinded. Other than being all sparkly, the wurm and Recruit 2 seem to have avoided this affect.
Rolth points out that the taurs appear diseased and speculates that the wurms may be the Petals’ allies. He attacks recruit 7 landing hits with his glaive and a paw slaying it. He then backs up five feet.
Gothruk will attacks recruit 3, failing to injure it. He agrees with Rolth’s observation, but adds that the tatzelwurms’ choice of targets could just be a predatory preference.
Tsak aims at the Bramble that has appeared out of the grass near Kiwina (R3) but again his shot goes wide.
Finnian fires at the blinded brigand 5, both arrows striking home, but not dropping it. (total damage 9) [OOC: Your sympathetic DM picked the best target for you]
Sable tries to a double shot, but misses and otherwise stays in place.
Sergeant 1 attacks wurm 2 and misses with his axe and his horns.
Recruit 2 attacks wurm 1, hitting it with his horn for 2 points of damage after the creature’s damage reduction. It tries to grab the wurm, but the creature avoids being grappled.
Recruit 3 attacks Kiwina, missing with both attacks.
Recruit 4 and Brigand 5 brush at their eyes, trying to clear its vision.
Brigand 6 attacks wurm 1, missing with both attacks.
Recruit 8 attacks wurm 1, also missing.
Tatzelwurm 1 hits the sergeant (damage 9) but is unable to grab it after biting it.
Making use of the advantage provided by the glittering cloud, Tatzelwurm 2 lashes out at the blinded Brigand 5, killing it.

[ooc I made these rolls before I looked at the map and realized that Every enemy has cover on from my attacks from my allies, so Instead of rapid shot Finninan will take a move and one shot]
He tries to line up a shot, but quickly realizes that without a clear vantage point, there is no way he can hit anyone. he hurries to the edge of the grass, where he can see them all more clearly and lines up a shot.
Pulling back the cord to his ear he sees the Sargent in the back of the group and lines up a shot. the Sargent still has cover, but Finnian is confident he can make the shot. As he pulls back and lets the arrow fly he grins to himself. "What a lovely fletched arrow" [To hit 22, Damage 6]

Recruit 8, flanking with Brigand 6, is able to gore the tatzlwurm barely harming it, but he is able to grapple the wurm, bringing it tight against his thorny flesh.
TW1 tries to reverse the grapple with Recruit 8, almost succeeds, but the taur maintains control.

Rolth claws at Recruit 8, laying it low. (Paw 1 to hit = 25, 6hp damage) He steps forward 5 feet over its corpse to swing his glaive at the Sargent with a massive blow that lays him low as well. (to hit = 24, damage = 11)
Kiwina tries another series of attacks, again missing with all of them. And now he's not feeling too well, either.

Sable moves up behind Recruit 4, quickly switching to greatsword and swings in flanking position - Nat 20 for 27. Confirms Crit with 23. Rolls 34 damage.

(Attack=19, Damage=3) Tsak switches his attack to Brigand 6 and shoots a bolt at him. The taur reacts, but still stands. Well that's an improvement on the last two attempts he thinks to himself.

Seeing that the battle is well in hand he turns his attention to the boat.

Elyas takes another shot with his crossbow, this time at recruit 8, but is again off his mark.
It seems that the fight is winding down, but Elyas is feeling cautious about the Wyrms, which might turn on the party as soon as they finish fighting the Taurs

Gothruk making use of an opening Kiwina created manages to connect a heavy roundhouse kick to Recruit 3, downing him with a crunch. To-hit 24 = Crit! Confirm? = 24 Confirmed. Damage 2d8+4 = 11
It will soon be time to see if these snakes are only interested in infected prey. We should perhaps regroup and back away. Show we are no easy target, and if it's just for food then they have the other bodies to eat.Gothruk says loud enough for his party to hear.

He steps forward 5 feet over its corpse to swing his glaive at the Sargent with a massive blow that lays him low as well.
Kiwina tries another series of attacks, again missing with all of them. And now he's not feeling too well, either. The wound itches terrible and a dark purple rash has already started to form. His stomach churns in anguish. Kiwina now has the sickened condition.
Sable moves up behind Recruit 4. A mighty blow of his sword completely severs the bramble taur’s left from his right.
Tsak switches his attack to Brigand 6 and shoots a bolt at him. The taur reacts, but still stands.

Finnian fires at his closest foe, Recruit 3, one arrow goes wide, but the other strikes true and he steps into the grass.
Gothruk making use of an opening Kiwina created manages to connect a heavy roundhouse kick to Recruit 3, downing him with a crunch. He counsels regrouping and backing away as defense against the predatory tatzlewurms.
The remaining Brigand 6 swings his long sword at the grappled tatzlwurm 1. Despite the serpent's tough hide, the sword cuts deep. The bramble taur then crushes the remaining life out of it with its thorny grasp. The tatzlwurm thrashes wildly in its death throes while the brigand grimly maintains his death grip.
TW2 lets out an anguished scream sounding like a multitude of tuneless french horns as it rushes to its fallen fellow wurm. Sable and Rolth may take attacks of opportunity if they desire.

Kiwina uses his 50' movement to go around to the other side of Brigand 6 and make a single attack with his short spear. He hits, but in his sickened condition does little damage (to hit = 18, damage = 1).

(OOC attempting to close my post)
Rolth forgoes the opportunity afforded by the onrushing worm, choosing instead to move to take down the last brigand. After all, the wurm is coming to the aid of its fallen comrade, not striking at the Petals—at least not yet. "I am sorry for the loss of your companion, who died nobly fighting these abominations," he shouts in Common as he moves into position to strike the last brigand with his glaive. (Glaive to hit = 16, miss)

Elyas moves within 30' of the last brigand and fires his crossbow as he watches the creature break the first Wyrm.
There is just too much going on in that area, however, and his shot goes way wide

Recruit Bramble 6 - last man standing Hp 12
Kiwina makes attacks and gets a piece of the Bramble’s plant matter. -1 up Rolth speaks kindly to the tatzlewurm but it ignores him and doesn't seem to realize he is being spoken too. Elyas fires his crossbow but misses as the bolt flies wide. Gothruk misses Teak strikes the Bramble for -3 Dmg And Sable prepares to fire next round. ------ The recruit sneers at the Petals as they gather around him. He notices the tatzlewurm and the Petals all heading toward him. He withdraws just before the tatzlewurm has a chance to attack. He takes a defensive stance which he holds weakly. The hunger rages within him as bodies lay all around him.
The tatzlewurm avoids any of the Petals. The dragon-like creature examines the body of his friend then, oddly ignoring the brigand, heads toward the ship to examine the remains of the other Brambles. At the ship are four uninfected Bramble but two are dead and the other two are barely able to move. One of them painfully shifts to get more comfortable. The tatzlewurm reacts, striking the minotaur, ending its life.
The other, nearly blinded by its wounds, pleads with the tatzlewurm for mercy.

Although he's not likely to touch the creature in his weakened state, Kiwina attacks. If nothing else, he can keep it occupied while the rest of the party positions themselves. (One natural 20 out of the attacks, 1 damage)
Sable (Don) ( HP 28/31| AC: 15/17; Touch: 11; Flat: 13/15; CMD: 19) | Status: Vigilant d20=11 ; d20+8=16 ; Thursday March 29th, 2018 1:48:57 AM

Elyas again fires on the fleeing bramble, but just misses it.
(OOC)I don't think the last bramble is in the right spot on the roll20 map still. If he's within 30', then my shot would be a 22 and would do 5 damage. I think with his withdraw he would be out of that range and I missed
Falco (BatMark subbing for Ryan) Thursday March 29th, 2018 7:10:31 AM
Falco, trying to distract the tatzlwurm from the helpless but undiseased taur, casts a ghost sound to make it think that more angry, diseased taurs are approaching from the north. To the Petals he says, "Ignore the sounds to the north. We need to try to save this last non-diseased taur to question."

Rolth, determined that the diseased taur not escape to cause further infection, makes a liontaur charge and attacks it. (morning start to hit = 23, damage = 14;paw 1 to hit = 27 crit threat, 24 confirms, damage = 6; paw 2 to hit = 10, miss; Rake 1 to hit = 18, miss, Rake 2 to hit = 8, miss; no bite = yuck; Total Damage = 20)

Gothruk moves around the Tatzlwurm with a double move intersecting himself between the wurm and the injured Taur. He's trying not to startle the wurm, and he dosn't get within 10ft of it but he obviously has to move fast to get into positions. If it moves towards him, he'll try and trip it. 1D20+7=27

[ooc I can't get on a computer until late so I don't know how far I am from the worm.]
Finnian will move 30ft towards the worm. If it puts him within 30ft he will attempt to get the worms attention and pacify it by first putting up his hands and very obviously placing his bow on the ground. . Wild empathy=19 if not he will double move and try it next turn... A roll over of that roll would be great...

Falco moves a little closer to the last brambletaur, and lobs a splash of acid at it, over the heads of his allies, but the wary taur avoids it.
Tsak fires again, but his hands feel wooden and he misses his target as well.
Despite being weakened, Kiwina manages to land an attack though it does little damage.
Sable moves toward the ship, fires and misses. HE then takes a look at the ship. To his sailor’s eye, it appears to be in fine shape.
He notices peculiarly that it does not actually rest on the ground, but rather rests on top of the sargrass, almost as if it is floating on it.
Elyas again fires on the fleeing bramble, but just misses it. [OOC: Rolth’s action makes the range/position issue irrelevant.]
Rolth, determined that the last remaining diseased taur not escape to cause further infection, makes a liontaur charge and attacks the poor bramble, tearing it apart. His glaive rests on the ground where he dropped it during combat.
Falco tries to distract the tatzlwurm from the helpless but undiseased taur with a casting of ghost sound. The tatzlwurm looks in the direction of the false sound of approaching brambles, but turns its attention back to the true bramble before it. The distraction, however, is sufficient to give Gothruk the opening he needs.
Gothruk moves around the Tatzlwurm interposing himself between the wurm and the injured Taur. Ready to trip it, he realizes the legless creature would be immune; nonetheless, he effectively blocks it--at least temporarily.
The Tatzlewym hisses, its long tapered tongue flickering between the dagger-like teeth as it raises its head up high off the ground, attempting, but not quite succeeding, in raising raise itself to Gothruk’s height.
It seems reluctant to strike the minotaur, but the glint in its yellow eye is not kindly. It does not appear that it will stay placid for long...

Tsak moves to the injured but uninfected bramble and uses a heal kit to stem any major bleeding (or loss of sap?). He will try to stabilise the creature so that it can answer questions from the party.

Rolth calms a bit, with the last of the immediate foes down. The red haze of rage fades a bit too, leaving him tuckered out. He trots tiredly over to retrieve his glaive, hoping that he doesn't need to use it too soon.

Falco (BatMark subbing for Ryan) d20+1=19 ; Thursday March 29th, 2018 9:31:55 PM
Falco starts to move closer to the wurm, or at least as far as his legs will carry him. All the while saying loudly to the wurm, first in elven, then in draconic, "This one is no threat, it is not sickened like the rest. Let us first talk to it before deciding its fate. Perhaps that will help reduce the threat of more of these things being created and blighting the land. What say you? (Diplomacy = 19)

Elyas sees the group moving to protect the uninfected Taurs, but feels that his own lack of skill in diplomacy would only cause trouble. Instead of moving in and being threatening, he readies his crossbow and holds it as low as he dares.

Kiwina has no desire to test the intentions of the tatzlewurm in his current condition. While the rest of the Petals deal with the serpent, he inspects the ship from his current position. (perception = 9, sailor = 8) His mind really isn't on the ship, however, as he still feels ill.

Gothruk will slowly re-sling his guisarme between his backpack and back and put himself in a fighting stance, readying an action so that if the snake tries to attack the wounded taur he'll grapple it.
Grapple roll 1D20+8=25
Under his breath he'll try and grunt to the others, It doesn't understand words, it's an overgrown snake. Does anyone know how to snake charm, maybe try something like that.... but bigger.

Finnian gestures to the grass and continues to close the gap between himself and the worm. He keeps his hands out and moves slowly. [b]"We want to help this place just as much as you do. This Taur is not infected. Let us treat him and we can leave you in peace"

Though seriously wounded, the flow of sap from the bramble’s injuries is slowing down. The relieved expression on his face is obvious as he realizes Tsak is trying to help.
Rolth releases his rage. Winded, he recovers his weapon.
Elyas and Gothruk await the outcome of the diplomatic efforts, ready to intercede physically if needed.
Kiwina avoids further combat. He inspects the ship, but is distracted by the symptoms of his infection to notice very much.
Finnian, Sable, and Falco attempt to reason with the tatzlewurm.
The wurm ignores all attempts at intercession, alternatingly glaring at Gothruk and the minotaur’s ward, until Falco begins speaking in draconic. When the halfling switches to the ancient tongue, however, the wurm turns its unblinking gaze to the little wizard. It tilts its head as if contemplating his words. Then without warning, it eases its coils and withdraws toward the bow of the ship, no longer threatening the injured bramble.
-------------- Gothrik, Falco, and Sable each earn one hero point for their efforts in saving the surviving bramble.

Falco warmly thanks the departing wurm for its protection of this realm from the diseased things afflicted upon it.

Rolth congratulates Falco on his effective, if unintelligible, parley with the wurm, then joins Sable in exploring the ship, which is truly a wonder if it can float on this sea of grass.

Gothruk breaths out a heavy sign of releaf when he dosn't get bitten in the face by a snake, and it decides instead to slither off. He'll check the body of the other non-infected Taur, just to make sure it's dead. Then listens in on the questioning of the other, more alive plantaur.

Finnian searches the bodies for anything useful and while he does, attempts to learn more about their infliction. [Perception=24,Heal=8]
Kiwina (Steve M) (22/40 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:17) | Status: Sickened Sunday April 1st, 2018 9:35:42 PM
Kiwina checks the downed brambles to confirm that they are dead and gathers their gear. While he is mostly looking to see if one of them might have had something that might make him feel better, he is careful to put everything in one place. He avoids the remaining tatzlewurm as best he can while doing so.

Finnian notices Kiwina gathering gear close by and sees the damage that has been done to him. "Kiwina, you look hurt. Here let me see if I can help," he walks over to the centaur and lays his hand on the tall taurus side. In a hushed whisper that sounds like common Tauric he asks Maab for guidance in healing. [Kiwina gains 7hp back]
Sargrass Plains- Grass Ship - DM Matt and John - 36 hr clock Monday April 2nd, 2018 9:07:21 PM
The bodies are all armored similar to the Bramble you found in the homes. The infection is the same that may be still infecting the party. (OOC: Did you guys cure everyone?)
There are eleven bodies total with the twelfth cowering on the ground beneath you.
Inspection of the ship revealed a perfectly healthy floating ship within the tall grass. There were some obvious differences in this ship then a sea floating craft. For one, there is a door a few feet up from the bottom of the boat. A set of stairs leading up. The other difference is it floats five feet from the ground. --
The remaining Bramble is a young recruit. He tells the Petals that his group of Brambles was attacked out of nowhere on Minotaur Island by some local creatures. “It was the oddest thing,” he added. “We then stumbled on a portal, spoke to an old Manfri then he sent us here. We ended up near that abandoned village over there. Found out that was a home to what is called “Tall men” Frightening creatures but never met one.. Thank the gods.. Anyways. We were investigating when my team became overwhelmed with this sickness and became insane. It hit our First Sergeant first. He attacked the others and we had to kill him. Then the majority of the team began to fall apart. I’m not sure what happened, but it must of been the blood.. Like I said.. I don’t know.. None of this makes any sense.
‘Our goal was this ship in the grass. We never made it on board. That is a a shame because I am a mighty good sailor. Suddenly, he realized, “How am I going to get home! The uninfected Brambles like me ran like cowards. That must be why they killed us. Cowards do not stand long…” “Why did you save me, take my life. I am a coward.” He drops his head in shame.
In total the five Recruits had (1) alchemist's fire; 5 chainmail, 5 heavy wooden shield, (2) +1 battleaxes, 3 glaives, (1) light crossbow with 20 bolts, 60 gp
In total the two Brigands had: (2) potions of remove disease , (10) masterwork arrows, (2) tanglefoot bags, (2) thunderstones; (2) leather armor, +1 composite longbow (+4 strength) with 20 arrows, (1) composite longbow (+2 strength) with 20 arrows; (2) longswords, and (2) saps
The sergeant had a chain shirt, (3) javelins, masterwork guisarme, masterwork longsword, manacles,
All weapons, armor, manacles, and shields are large size.
The tatzlewurm slowly paces back and forth about twenty feet in front of the ship’s bow. It occasionally pauses to glance at the party and then resumes its pacing.
Kiwina (Steve M) (29/40 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:17) | Status: Sickened Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 12:53:19 AM "Thanks, Finnian."
If no one else objects, Kiwina will try one of the potions of remove disease. (OOC: I think he's the only one currently infected.)
Tsak Rezar (Damien) AC15 (T13/F12) 24/24 HP| Falchion +4 2D4+3|Crossbow +1 1D8+1|Status: None d20+6=26 ; Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 2:02:04 AM
(Profession: Sailor=26) Tsak is inclined to believe the recruit and, whilst he can't condone cowardice, he can easily see how having your team turn on itself in an unknown world facing goodness know's what could cause the undoing of any sane creature. I guess we gather the gear, board the ship and sail these green 'seas' looking for adventure, and a Rapkes! I think we should invite this recruit to stay with us. I'll have a look over the ship and see if I can figure out how it works (Sailor 26). Who wants to talk this over with the wyrm?
Sable (Don) ( HP 28/31| AC: 15/17; Touch: 11; Flat: 13/15; CMD: 19 Hero P: 1) | Status: Vigilant Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 3:03:59 AM
Sable says, "If no one else objects, I would like the +1 bow to trade for a large one later. Can anyone use it now?"
Also, " Why don't we put everything onboard, bury the dead, and set sail on a hunt for the cure?"
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (25/28 HP | AC: 13 | Status: Fatigued 3/10 Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 7:05:03 AM
Rolth agrees with Sable and Tsak that we should gather the loot and carefully bury the dead, without getting blood or other causes of infection on us, before setting out to sail. "But which way should we go?" He has no objection to Kiwina using the potion to stave off the disease.
(OOC: Don, I think the bow is already the right size--from the DM post "All weapons, armor, manacles, and shields are large size.")
Falco (BatMark subbing for Ryan) Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 7:08:41 AM
Falco climbs aboard the ship, and calls out to the wurm in Draconic, "Are you trying to get us to follow you? If so, please know that we are on a quest for a rapkes. We need one's claw in order to play our part in a ritual to banish this foul infestation from the Wold. Would you help us in this quest?"
Elyas (Ben A.) (29/29 HP | AC: 13; Touch:13; Flat: 10; CMD:15) | Light Crossbow +4( 1D8, 19-20) | Status:none Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 1:17:05 PM
Elyas spends little time looking through the supplies, as clearly none of these taurs were spellcasters. He is intrigued by the ship, and quickly moves with the others to board once the decision is made to sail the grass plain.
Gothruk Gore (Logan) AC 13 (T11/F10)25/25HP |Guisarme +4 2D6+4| Status: None Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 7:26:20 PM
Gothruk will inspect the masterwork Guisarme and the tanglefoot bags, he'll keep it with his gear, could be useful later on.
Don't be too hard on yourself, if you truly feel bad use those feelings to become better. Become someone who you are proud to be. Self pity is an ugly emotion, do your best to keep yourself together, we will arrange to bury your companions and work out how to use this ship. Once we are underway you will have your time to grieve. In the meantime we are huge targets standing out in the open.
Sargrass Plains - Off into the wide gray-green yonder - DM Matt and John - 36 hr clock Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 9:06:53 PM Kiwina tries one of the potions of remove disease. [OOC: Roll to see if it cures the disease. To succeed you must succeed on 1d20 + caster level against a DC 20. The caster level for these potions is 9, so roll an 11 or higher.]
Tsak believes the recruit and sets to figuring out how to sail the vessel.
He realizes it sails like any sailing vessel of its type, except on grass rather than water. Even the anchor seems to function the same as a seafaring ship, but with a much shorter cable.
Sable claims the +1 large sized composite longbow (strength +4) [OOC: the bow is large size and allows the wielder to add +4 of their strength modifier to damage. Note that if someone with a strength modifier less than +4 attempts to use it, they cannot pull it back and fire it.]
Elyas spends little time looking through the supplies, as clearly none of these taurs were spellcasters.
Rolth, Sable, Gothruk, and Tsak load the loot on the ship and care for the dead before setting out to sail.
Falco climbs aboard calls out to the Wurm in draconic.
While the Petals are attending to their tasks, the tatzlewurm continues to pace before the bow of the ship, occasionally pausing to glance in their direction before resuming its restless motion.
At some point during your preparations the recruit speaks up, “Please, don’t leave me here.” He says while scratching his back furiously. “I will gladly help you sail this ship. I know her well.”
“I don’t want to be picked up by Sargrass pirates that roam around in their floating ships looking for merchants and people to pick up.”
The recruit smiles. “Just kidding. I have not seen any pirates.. Unless you have?”
When Falco speaks in Draconic, the wurm’s attention is captured again. When Falco finishes speaking, it sets off at a heading slightly port of straight ahead. After going about ten paces it turns to look at the ship.
It seems to be wanting to lead you somewhere. Do you trust it?
“Did you say rapke?” interjects the recruit, reacting to a word Falco used that is the same in Common as well as Draconic. ”I know where some are. I’ve heard they nest under an old wooden bridge near a dry river bed. I think my sergeant, bless his soul, called it a Bridge to Nowhere.”
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (25/28 HP | AC: 13 | Status: Fatigued 4/10 Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 9:26:41 PM
Rolth, despite his fatigue, notices that this recruit seems to be lying to us repeatedly, and at glaive point blocks his path to board the ship. "So which is it, you know this ship well, or you just arrived here? You're uninfected, or your back really itches and you know what that means? You're afraid of pirates or you are a pirate? Explain yourself well and truly, or we might just have to leave you here and let the gods sort you out." If the recruit is so foolish as to try to push his way on board, Rolth will cut him down.

(Climb=15) And this 'Bridge to Nowhere' is it in the general direction that the wurm wishes us to go?
Tsak is inclined to follow the wurm as it seems both intelligent, and more knowledgeable of the current situation than the petals.
He shimmies up the mast as far as he can (Crow's Nest?)(Climb=15) to see what can be seen.
Falco (BatMark subbing for Ryan) Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 9:29:02 PM
Falco calls out from the bow in Common, "I'm pretty sure it wants us to follow! Considering that it fought against the sick things, but showed mercy when asked, I think we should go along. What say you?"
Kiwina (Steve M) (29/40 HP | AC:14; Touch:11; Flat:12; CMD:17) | Status: Sickened d20+9=17 ; Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 9:58:50 PM
Kiwina tries one potion, but it doesn't seem to work. He will wait a while before trying the other. Meanwhile, he helps the others load the ship and take care of the bodies.
Kiwina, too, thinks the bramble's story doesn't add up. "Tell us about these tall men, too," Kiwina adds, concerned that the infection might have something to do with the village being abandoned. "Is this their ship or yours?"
Finnian (Zeke) (HP:27/27; AC: 16; Touch: 13; Flat: 13; CMD: 17) Status: None Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 10:23:42 PM I'll follow the worm, Finnian says to Falco. "It seems to understand you, can you understand it?" he asks.
Finnian begins to follow the worm if the others agree.

Sable agrees, ”The Wurm looks to be our best bet here, let’s trust it and see if we can help in return”
Sable examines the mate to see if there is anything that can be done, (Nat 1 on Perception). ”Damn, where did that other Wurm drop...?”

Plus following a wurm seems about right after the other things we have been though."
Falco is clearly relived by the presence of the ship not liking his chances with the grass over a long trip. He moves to the very front of the ship ostensibly to keep an eye out but really just to see what there is to see.

I think we are better off on this thing than on foot. Hopefully our skill at sea will translate to this contraption
Elyas has little to add to the conversation with the bramble, and feels that the poor taur has enough questions to answer already. He agrees that following the wyrm seems as good an option as any

Gothruk rounds on the injured Taur I just stood between a helpless you and a huge snake, with it's fangs beared. And you decide to lie to us.

“Whoa,” says the recruit clearly intimidated. “Character flaw. I have a character flaw. I joke when I’m stress. I am not hiding anything. Please believe me. I am a sailor. I know how to sail. Am I infected?” He itched furiously. “Gah… now I am going to die. Just push me over the side of the ship before I turn. How about this. I will sail this ship for you, for a ride and one of those vials of remove disease? That’s it.. I will not require anything else. Is that a deal?”
Tsak “And this 'Bridge to Nowhere' is it in the general direction that the wurm wishes us to go?” Tsak is inclined to follow the wurm as it seems both intelligent, and more knowledgeable of the current situation than the petals.
He shimmies up the mast as far as he can (Crow's Nest?)(Climb=15) to see what can be seen. “I will be honest. I have no idea where the bridge is. Please don’t think less of me but I think that beast in the grass knows. Thank you for saving me, by the way. I certainly owe you my life.” “I shouldn’t of mentioned the Tall men. I get excited and I talk too much. From what I could gather in the village back there they are assassins. Frightfully tall assassins. They are not creatures you want to meet in a field of grasses. Elyas “a ship is a ship I suppose, whether it is at sea or floating on the grass. I think we are better off on this thing than on foot. Hopefully our skill at sea will translate to this contraption”
Elyas has little to add to the conversation with the bramble, and feels that the poor taur has enough questions to answer already. He agrees that following the wyrm seems as good an option as any ----- Aboard the ship are supplies and a place to sleep. The Bramble recruit waits for word on whether he can join.

Finnian moves to the front of the ship and comments that he remembers something about a bridge and that perhaps following the worm is the best Idea.
[ooc: did we determine if the worm was an animal or some sort of magical beast. I ask because I have speak with animals prepared and was considering using it until it looked like the creature understood Falco]

But I'm not up for giving him the second potion when the one I tried hasn't worked. Did we end up with an extra from the manfri?" Kiwina watches the bramble, to see if he really does know his way around this ship. (Roll: perception = 12)
"But yes, if the ship is his and doesn't belong to these tall men, let's use it to follow that wyrm."

(Heal=9, Climb=25, Sailor=13) Unable to see much from the top of the mast Tsak makes his way down (climb=25) and checks out the recruits back to see if he is indeed infected (Heal - just to check, not to treat =9).
Kiwina, you use the second potion, I'll keep an eye on our 'friend' here and if his starts to turn we'll deal with it then. I don't have one from the manfri, anyone else?

Are you satisfied with promotion to First Mate (Provisional)?" To the others, he asks, "Who shall be nominal Captain, in case we need to make a quick decision in a crisis?

Sargrass Plains- Grass Ship Part II - DM Matt and John - 36 hr clock Thursday April 5th, 2018 9:09:41 PM
Question about the Tatzlewurm - Know Nature or Arcana vs DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { After some reflection you realize the wurm is actually a type of dragon. }
The Bramble seems to bumble a bit but finds his sea legs. As a recruit his sailing skills are not tip top but the ship seems to move smoothly. He accepts any help he can from the Petals. At this point he does not seem to be a threat.
The Bramble itches furiously. With a quick inspection between the large vine-like tentacles stretched across his body, you find he indeed has the symptoms.
To the Bramble, Elyas will ask "How many people does it take to crew this ship? We have several experienced sailors in our number, we will use what skill we have to help sail this thing if you just tell us what you need us to do" The Bramble notes the sails need several men to tend to them. Turn them when needed. Any repairs would have to be done by seperate men, with exceptional climbing skills. “I am being honest. My team got no further than where you saved me. I do not know where this bridge is. I know of the bridge, but not where it is. I am trusting our little guide to take us,” adds the Bramble. “Oh, I also need a scout out front to tell me where the little thing is going.”
Rolth agrees to let the bramble on board, standing aside to let him pass. "Very well, but until you have proven yourself trustworthy, we cannot make you Captain. Are you satisfied with promotion to First Mate (Provisional)?" To the others, he asks, "Who shall be nominal Captain, in case we need to make a quick decision in a crisis? I am willing, but do not want to be presumptuous. In any event, I agree that we should follow the wurm."
“I have no Captain hat,” the Bramble says in a sing song way. “I am just the sailor here…” “Hey, I’ve never met a water elemental. Friendly creature?” Gothruk wonders if the recruit is lying but finds the Bramble is being honest.
Once it sees the ship is underway, the tatzlewurm starts loping rapidly through the grass in the direction it was trying to lead the Petals. Although it is running at a steady clip it takes some effort to keep from sailing past it. Profession Sailor check DC10 by the acting captain or sail right over the creature.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (25/28 HP | AC: 14; Touch: 11; CMD: 19) | Glaive +5 1d10+4 x3 | Paws (2) +3 1d4+1 x2| Status: None d20+5=15 ; d20+10=16 ; Thursday April 5th, 2018 10:01:34 PM
Rolth takes one look at Kiwina's steady stance on the deck, and knows that he should be our leader on board. He gives a snappy salute and shouts, "Three cheers for Captain K! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!" He then makes himself useful about the ship, while keeping a watchful eye for threats both on board and off. (Profession Sailor to assist Kiwina = 15, aids for +2; Perception = 16) He also asks our new brambletaur ally his name, since he doesn't recall hearing it yet.
