ooc: Sorry. He cast shillelagh.

The minotaur throws two more stones at you while you are casting, but both of them go wide. Your spell is cast, and lands on him like a gentle cloud. In a few seconds he looks like he's been on a three day wine bender. His vision loses focus, his jaw slacks, and his head tilts to one side.

Sesha grins.

She casts Deep Slumber again, fully expecting the minotaur to sleep, now that his will has been hampered.

The minotaur races toward the river. You follow along, guiding your broom with your knees. You complete your spell, and he falls face-forward into the soft grass. He snores soundly.

Sesha lands near the minotaur. She takes a quick look around to make sure the brief battle didn't attract any other tributes. (Perception 29).

Assuming none, (and effectively out of combat for the next 10 minutes), she gingerly lifts the club and frowns at it. It wouldn't be magical, if it were, Shillelagh would not have affected it. She tosses it aside.

"Better to be quick about it. Sorry dear friend, but a Druid has far too much willpower for my liking."

(Dear DM. Sesha is casting two spells, per my understanding of Sleep, only slapping or wounding wakes the target. If you disagree, please skip the first spell, Bestow Curse.)

First she gently touches the Minotaur, cursing it to suffer minus 4 on will saves. (It's helpless, so it treats all spells as willing. If DM disagrees, Will Save DC 19 (at -10)

Second, she casts Bull Strength, raising her physical power.

Then she casts Beast Shape II, taking the form of a large reptilian creature, known as Arsinoitherium scientifically, but generally referred to as a Mega Rhinoceros.

She snuffles the sleeping Taur for a moment, then makes a decision. She rises on her back legs, then drops heavily, crushing and impaling the Minotaur with her dual horns.

Bestow Curse: 4 to Fortitude Save against instant Death.
Bull Strength: +4 enhancement to Strength.
Beast Shape IV: Large Megafauna. +4 Size to Strength, +4 Natural Armor, - 2 Dex. No slot expended.

Coup De Grace: Auto Hit, Auto Crit. Victim must Fortitude save DC damage dealt + 10 or die.

Damage: 4d8+3 = 15 + (Crit) 4d8+3 = 17 = 32.

Fortitude DC 42 or die.

Your horns impale the minotaur in his gut and chest. He wakes from sleep with a staggered scream, his lungs mostly deflated. A red bubble of viscous blood pops from his mouth, and he goes limp.

With jarring suddenness, a moaning shriek erupts from the sky, seeming to come out of thin air. The noise sounds five times, echoing out across the gamezone. A polite, crisp female voice speaks in gigantic tones. ”Attention please. Attention please. Tributes, we are pleased to announce the valiant sacrifice of Tribute Baz, who has fallen to Tribute Sesha. Their names will be honored and remembered. May the odds be ever in your favor.”

Sesha looks down at the bloody corpse and lets the polymorph slide away.

"I pity you Tribute Baz, and at the same time, envy you. You never knew the suffocating embrace of the most loving of lords, our father Ga'al. Maybe someone here can do for me what I've done for you?"

She isn't expecting much, given the nature of the Games, but she searches it for possessions.

A strong feeling of dissatisfaction washes over her.

"You forgot about me Sesha. You promised I would taste blood."

Sesha giggles, and pats Stab-Stab reassuringly. "You will, my friend. I promised, after all."

Sesha adds the supplies to her own and thinks a bit.

Baz was likely her westernmost opponent. It might be time to start in towards the middle. She tries to get a feel for the time of day.

It is still mid-morning. As you continue flying above the lands of the gamezone, the grasslands give way to temperate forests. The canopy reaches green fingers just under your feet as you soar through the air. You see no creatures or tributes.

Sesha pauses and listens to the announcement. A sharp voice slips through her mind.

"And now you are down to 10. You had better find me blood, Sesha."

Sesha grins. She would, and more. But for now, finding more tributes was what she needed to do.

She continues flying southwest.

You are making excellent time, but you continue to see nothing but mixed forests and grasslands. Although to the northwest, you see what could be a... gray patch?

To the north of you is a large patch, several acres in fact, of webbing blanketing the ground. It tramples down the grass and has strings of gossamer waving in the wind. Several horse-sized black shapes patrol the area, with many legs and many eyes.

The spiders and their webbed home appear to lie in a large clearing in the forest. No other creatures or tributes are visible.

And, of course, there is a leather satchel with a red-ribbon bow in the middle of the webbing.

Sesha closes the gap between herself and the spiders, just a little. She maintains about 120ft in distance. As she gets closer, she tries to figure out a few things.

How many are there?

Are they typical spiders? Know Nature 21. (Take 10)

Are they magical spiders? Know Arcana 24. (Take 10)

Finally, she casts Blink.

You fly over and hover 120 feet away from the spiders. By all of your knowledge and experience, they appear to be your average horse-sized giant spiders. They take note of you and chitter with excitement at the prospect of a meal. Several of them congregate just below you -- their mandibles making excited chirping noises as they watch your every move.

By your count, there are 8 giant spiders. Three of them are directly beneath you. Two are 80 feet away. Three are 120 feet away. All of them are aware of your presence.

Sesha considers the odds.

Eight Spiders against her, a broom, and a blink spell. Worse, they were mostly immune to her charms. She marks the spot on her map, and bids the bag farewell, continuing south west on her broom.

Choosing prudence over valor, Sesha continues on her way southwest. The forest clears for a time, giving way to a belt of grasslands, before another treeline breaks the vista. There is no sign of tributes or monsters.

Flying overhead above the belt of grasslands, you see a thin line of trampled vegetation. The telltale sign of a sizable creature that has moved through thick grass. It stretches east-west across the gamezone. No other signs are visible.

Sesha renews her flying broom spell, then drops down low enough to look at the trampled grass.

Not quite sure, she makes the assumption the creature is heading east. She flies low near the tree-tops and continues following the trail.

You double back on your flight plan and find the snaking line of trampled grass winding through the clearing between forests. You begin to follow it east, as it continues in a fairly straight line. No sign of tributes or monsters.

Yet.

You follow the trail east through the tall grass. It terminates at the tree line. You surmise you could continue to track the tribute, but you would have to descend to the ground beneath the canopy.

As you dip beneath the forest canopy, thirty feet above the ground, you continue to follow the trail of the other tribute. You can see that the tracks are booted and about your size. They continue through the forest for a time before you see them end -- at a yawning portal of darkness. A cave mouth opens in a rock-face, leading down and forward at a steep pitch.

Sesha stays as high as she can in the cave opening.

What sort of tracks were they, that she had been following?

She refreshes her spells, then pushes on, curious. Thankfully, she had her dark vision to guide her. She listens for anything out of place, and looks for what she can see.

The tracks appear to be humanoid, booted, and about your size. Too big for a halfling or gnome. Just one pair. Slightly slender, so perhaps an elf or a human female.

The ceiling of the cave dips to just 8 feet, forcing you to fly almost touching the ground if you wish to stay aloft. The tunnel is pitch black, and continues in a straight line as you progress. No sign of tributes or monsters. A few stalagmites and stalactites can be seen, as well as the drip drop of water. You do not see any tracks on the bare rock floor, but then again... there's nowhere to go but forward.

Speeding through the cave system, you are brought to heel by the sudden cessation of footsteps ahead. You slow to a cautious speed, just in time to a dark shape standing in the corridor. A roiling wave of flesh gushes forward. Amid the fatty surge wriggle half-formed limbs and a dripping tumorous face. It jerks its head toward you, and hurries around a corner out of sight.

You are approximately 40 feet away, the creature is around a corner heading north. Your corridor is 10 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The corridor is filled with numerous rocky outcroppings.

ooc: I need all the usual checks in addition to your posted actions. We are in combat rounds.
