Maeve volunteers for the first watch.
Two people per watch, I will be with Maeve, Then Deyemi and Barnabas and then Glicky and Kalina?

Ba-a-a-arnabas nods. "Tha-a-a-at works."
He gets ready to settle in for the night. But then he turns to the others.
"Perha-a-a-aps you would like to show me the artifacts you found? It's my field."
GM Rolls
The night goes by without a hitch and when you wake up. All of the moss and grasses near you campsite look to have been eaten or trampled.
DC 10 hunting
Kalina climbs into a nearby tree and soon is fast asleep. When she is awakened for her watch, she sleepily climbs down and takes up her spear.
Ba-a-a-arnabas picks a couple of objects out of the pile of loot.
[b]"Hmmm... these look interesting."[/ooc]
You find a nograin box with strange soft nograin buttons atop with number on them.
You also find a nograin bar with three metal circles on the top.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Artifact one, you figure out it is a keypad that was used to make some sort of payments in the past. You are able to turn it on and it reads, Please type in vendor identification number which you are successful in doing and then it states Please type in sales price
Artifact 2: You seem to be making some progress but it gives you 1 point of damage.
"Da-a-a-a-amn it! Wait, I got it..."
Baarnaba slaps the machine and realizing the three metal circles are some sort of revolving knife system, finds the switch, it starts to hum and circles begin to turn cutting off some of his fur.
"Hmmm, i-i-i-interesting. The people of my House back in Kin would be interested to see these things. But I don't see how they could have helped us back in the caves."
Ba-a-a-arnabas then settles down to meditate, and after that tucks in to get some sleep.
"Wa-a-a-a-ake me up when it's my wa-a-a-atch."
In the morning, you first have some breakfast and then Kalina leads the group towards the Oad. After about five hours skirting the forest to the south you finally make your way to the Oad where you get your bearings and start to move north towards home.
GM Rolls
You set up another camp for the night on the Oad.
When morning comes, Ba-a-a-arnabas takes another couple hours to meditate.
After he is done, he browses on some of the greenery in the area.
"Now that we seem to be out of da-a-a-a-nger," Ba-a-a-arnabas addresses the rest of the group, "I should ask, where are you headed?"
"I wa-as sent ba-a-a-y my town to try and discover wha-a-a-y our local crops are failing. I a-a-am on a quest. Though fra-a-a-ankly, I have no idea where to look. I'm not a fa-a-a-armer."
you are right we havent figured out anything we need to search further
in my naming dream which did not show me my name I saw a chicken factory named La Prix. Its somehow involved so we need to find it.

"You mean you have the same mission as I? How strange! I wonder if the badders kidnapped you and I on account of it? Otherwise, it is quite a coincidence that we met."
in my naming dream which did not show me my name I saw a chicken factory named La Prix. Its somehow involved so we need to find it.
"I'm no farmer as I said, but I always thought chickens were hatched, not built. Were these robot chickens?"
"Perhaps the robot chickens are responsible for our dilemma. Any clues as to the whereabouts of this 'La Prix?'"
When there is time, Ba-a-a-arnabas look over some of the other things.
Brass hornlike thing... you pick it up pull on its little handle and put your mouth on the thing and see that it is a special horn that changes its pitch when you slide the handle forward and back
Colored cube... you twist here and fro and decipher that it is a puzzle cube game where you should match all of the colors into one side.
The tripod has two large wheels that spin and one you flip the switch on you decide to put a rock in there and it flings the rock forward at a very fast speed upwards of 60 km/hour.
Big glass thingy... you seem to not be making any progress with it.
You make a shelter for the evening on the Oad. You retain your shifts from the night before.

Adney, Maeve, Deyemi
Maeve slowly stirred the coals as they finished their breakfast, I had an unusual dream last night. A tree looked at me as it gave its dying breath and fell, one limb outstretched towards La Prix. It sounds crazy, but when I went to sleep I was thinking most of where to go about the troubles our villages are having.
Maeve looks to Abney, how did your dream go?
Adney wakes up looking around and says I dreamed the same Maeve.
Deyemi doesnt say much but he too indicates with a nod that he saw the tree and he will look around to see if he can find it.
GM Rolls [spoiler]
You make your way north for an hour and then you hear from a distance a call at you saying "You have crossed my sacred land you hand me over something ancient or face my wrath."
What you see seems to be the distorted descendent
of the North American moose. Its appearance is still
moose-like as it still possesses short brown fur and large
branching antlers. These bony and sturdy antlers grows
over a meter in height and are used as deadly weapons by
these mutants. A startling development in these mutants was their change from hooven front feet to leathery human-like hands, in which sits a very strange weapon from the ancients.
Kalina's grip on her spear tightens. She has no ancient items to give over (though she would not be opposed to giving them if she did).
Really? Not even a hello? Maeve takes a step to the side as she turns to the rest of her group. Any of you see a sign that said sacred land? Toll ahead?
Maeve turns back and puts one hand on her hip as she looks the moose up and down, What happened to general hospitality? You're not going to violate the SSCC are you?
Adney considers the little cube of multiple colors and whispers to Maeve that if they had to trade something for passage that wouldnt be bad.
Ba-a-a-arnabas looks at the others and whispers,
"I don't know if you care to fight this man, but if not there are a few things we can afford to give up."
Adney considers the little cube of multiple colors and whispers to Maeve that if they had to trade something for passage that wouldnt be bad.
"Yes, the cube is one. It is just a puzzle game. I would have preferred to solve it before giving it up, but that is just idle amusement."
"These other things," Ba-a-a-arnabas indicates the electric shaver and the credit card reader, "Are not especially important either. All artifacts have a certain value on the market, but these ones don't have much practical use for us. I wouldn't want to give up the others until we figure out what they do."
"Perhaps if we give this man his wish, he will help us locate the factory where the robot chickens are built."
The moose says, "I will take your puzzle cube for your safe passage through my lands, I am a Maali and my kind are very particular about our grazing space."
Size Up DC 15
"Greetings, Maali. You can have the cube, and happily. I do not know what happens when the cube is solved, if anything. I have been unable to do it."
"We appreciate your safe passage. How large are your lands?"
"Oh, and have you ever seen a factory called 'La Prix'? We are seeking such a place. We believe that Robot Chickens are built there, or were once."
The Maali says, [/b]"Sheepman, my lands stretch some 15 acres. Robot chickens... That is macabre, I must say, La Prix... there might could have been a sign about 2 hours north. For the two legs.... 6 hours north. One can find it methinks."[/b]
He then starts walking away playing with his new toy.
Adney will start navigating the group north following the directions given.
The group starts moving further north on the OAd and after 8 hours, to be fair the Maali, was only guesstimating being a much taller organism that can stand on two feet but travels mostly on all fours. Having headed up The Great Oad past the hilly section, the
characters notice just ahead a fallen tree that apparently was
struck by lightning. Oddly enough its trunk seems to be
pointing to the west-northwest. This huge burnt tree lies
completely across The Oad.
Adney, Maeve and Deyemi have a strong pull to go in the direction of the tree.
It must be a sign from the great ones, I feel we need to go that way.
Maeve starts pulling her travois off the Oad towards the hills.
You move in the direction that Maeve guides you in a north-westerly manner.
GM Rolls
You keep moving in that direction and then you start to see the sun dip below the horizon.
You set up camp in the grasslands.
GM Rolls
After making camp, Ba-a-a-arnabas continues to look over the artifacts that were found.
The very large item, you are able to discern a metal ball inside, that seems to want to go up and down a spring.
You look into the mirror and you discern that the mirror is designed to obfuscate the image in front of it.
The small parts look useful to possibly fixing some gear that you have found.
Maeve sits down next to Ba, ooh, what's this do?
She reaches over and pushes on something.
Woosh! comes the large tracked machine to life, making a strange music... going dodedanannnaaaroooo!
