Rikka loosens the katana in its sheath. She slides her feet back from of the stirrups, controlling them now with just her toes, in case she has to dismount quickly. She regards her allies, seeing their states of readiness. "Perhaps this town is centered on an old tree... or this could get interesting."

She keeps her horse moving forward slowly while she waits on their reactions. She looks to Mael, having noted his preference for flanking with his bow. She nods at a series of rooftops, silently asking if he plans to take an over-watch position. In the meantime, she watches every window, alley, and rooftop for any sign of movement.

Rikka:
You hear some mumbling coming from the center of town followed by a deep, hearty chuckle.

Rikka halts her horse, cocks an ear, and points towards the center of town before whispering, "I just heard some mumbling and a deep laugh."

Maeltheron will attempt to silently position himself on a rooftop overlooking the tree in the center of town.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Pereception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Maeltheron:
It's relatively easy to clamber up to the roof of one of these shacks. The footing is precarious but you're able to pick your way across. Reaching the edge of the rooftop you peek over the top and see a very large tree that strangely has a face twisted into a smile. To the right of the tree leaning on one of the buildings is a man holding a bow in one hand, doubled over with laughter slapping his knee in their shared mirth. To their left is a rather large pile of bodies in various states of decomposture. A blanket of flies covers the bodies that rise up like a dark cloud when the tree moves about his tree limbs.

After everyone is ready, Rikka nudges her horse into a leisurely walk down the middle of the street, heading towards the center of town - where she can see the top of the tree. She sits loosely in the saddle, rocking along with the movement of the horse - one hand on the reins, the other resting on her knee, well away from the hilt of her katana. She proceeds without hurry into the town's center.

Little Mood Music for ya... :)

GM Roshan:
I will draw a beed on the man with the bow to see how the interraction goes with my party members.


Alen dismounts, clambering up on a building on the left flank of the group, straining to locate the source of the laughter.

Climb 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Stealth 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27.

You see the same thing, a man holding a bow who seems to be exchanging jokes with a talking tree.

Walking into the center of town you see a man having a good time with what looks to be a living tree. They both stop laughing as you come into view and take up arms, the man draws his bow on you and calls out "HALT! What is your business here?"


Alenthyn's eyes are drawn to the tree-thing, and he tries to bring to mind any strengths or weaknesses they should know about it should this encounter turn violent.

Looking to ID strengths/weaknesses of the tree-thing. Using Nature since it seems most appropriate.

Rikka considers the man's words for a moment before reining in her horse to a near standstill.

Her voice is tinged with curiosity about the outlander's behavior. "You've a strange way of greeting visitors... particularly one that heard your laughter and chose to make herself known without drawing weapons." She glances at the compound longbow over her shoulder to make her point. "I'm Rikka Rask. I'm on the trail of some shadow creatures that laid waste to a town called Bosh some miles from here. Also, I'm dogging the steps of some other adventurers on the same mission. Have you greeted them just as warmly?"

While the man decides whether to fire on her or not - and the choice seems to faze her little - Rikka looks around the town square with interest. Her eyes fall on the archer's strange companion. "You're a handsome tree. What type are you?"

If he fires the longbow, I will fire on him.

@GM Roshan: Should we post in the main thread yet?


Human Sorc 2 | HP 9/12 | 12/12/10 | F+0 R+2 W+4 | Per +7 Init +2 | Spells: 1st 5/5

You are the man, Mael! Thanks for having my back. :)


Human Sorc 2 | HP 9/12 | 12/12/10 | F+0 R+2 W+4 | Per +7 Init +2 | Spells: 1st 5/5

Roshan - what's the positioning and distance between Rikka, the archer, and the tree?
Ariella - are you in LOS of the archer/tree or are you further back?

I'm 20' behind you on my horse still. Bow in hand, in LOS

To clear things up

Maeltheron is on the top of a house about 60 ft behind Rikka

Alenthyn is on top of a house about 40 feet to Rikka's right

Arelia is 20 feet behind Rikka on a horse.

Rikka is approaching the man on foot.

The man and the tree are both 100 feet from you. There is a large pile of bodies to their right, your left. There are various things littering the sides of the path from you to them, overturned wheelbarrows, water troughs and things of the sort but the actual path is relatively clear.

Wood burns. You can't really think of anything else, saplings are delicate and only the lucky ones or the ones that are cared for grow to size but trees, actual trees are incredibly hardy.

The man lowers his bow a notch but keeps it drawn in your direction. "It may seem strange to you but since the last ones to pay a visit seemed to be a little less than human you'll understand my caution."

"Unless another group of us made it through that first night I'm pretty sure you're looking at them. We left Bosh several days ago, how is it that you find yourselves here?"

Elvish:
The tree speaks with an incredibly thick elven accent, think someone from an isolated European village who suddenly comes to a major metropolitan area.

"Tree's don't really care what kind of tree you are. I'm still surprised that there are different names for you things that walk on two legs, you all look the same to me."
