Xavilon tags along and follows the discussion eagerly.

"While I'm against bets, I wager these perturbances are due to a subtle combination of both theories. Why not have feys and druids opening a gate..." he declares.

with a lighthearted chuckle and a slight nod towards Xavilion

I see what you did there

Flynn is referring, of course, to the "I'm against BETS, but I'll WAGER" comment

but it sounds like there's some logic to it as well


Season of Ghosts

At Xavilon's remark Jamila bursts into laughter and Falbin groans, shaking his head. "Really? That's against the spirit of the bet! You can't just straddle the fence like that," he remarks as he shakes hands with Pai and Eutrophia to seal the deal on their bets.

"Oh I don't know Falbin, it seems like it makes perfectly good sense to me," Jamila replies, still chuckling. "Most people hedge their bets anyway so why would something like this be any different?"

"Yeah yeah yeah...we'll just see which one of us is right," the gnome says, waving his hand dismissively. "Be on the lookout as we get closer to the verdant zone - you might be able to find evidence for one theory or another or..." he groans, "both, before we even get to where we're going. Put those peepers to good use!"

And so with your bets placed you continue on through the forest towards your destination, everyone now watching their surroundings for clues...

"Clues in the mud, but also in the sky." Auberon points to the south, where cloud formations spiral unnaturally. "That can occur near planar disturbances. The sky supports Jamila, but the footprints could be the druids transforming into giants to wreak havoc, as rumor suggests. Xavilon may have been on to something, that it is not just one or the other."

What is Jamila's ancestry? Does she seem like she is plane-touched? Maybe I missed that detail.

Auberon nods to Flynn, looking a little surprised.

I would think a follower of Gorum only cares about the bodies littered on his path, not of learning anything beyond warfare and destruction. Perhaps I have misjudged.

"I hope you brought enough tangleburn bags."


Season of Ghosts

Apologies for the delay, today was another work day!

When Xavilon points out the large, muddy footprints, Falbin smiles smugly. "Hah! There's little else here in these woods that'd leave tracks like that except for the druids," he declares. "They do so love their little shapeshifting tricks!"

Jamila frowns as she bends down to peer at one of the footprints. "I have to admit, I'm not familiar with anything else that'd leave tracks like these. Shapeshifting...could certainly be behind them," she admits, albeit reluctantly.

"I thought so - that's a point in my favor," the gnome chuckles. But when Auberon points out the unusual cloud formations only a short while later, Falbin grows unusually quiet.

"Ah yes...I know that druids can influence the weather if they wish, but to form these particular sorts of cloud formations? No, it's as Auberon notes - these sorts of things have been documented to occur near planar disturbances," Jamila remarks with a confident smile. "And judging by your sudden silence, you agree. And so this point belongs to me."

As Jamila speaks, her eyes catch the sunlight filtering in through the forest canopy above and blaze brightly - more brightly than any human that any of you have known.

Kn. Planes (DC 14):

You're not sure why you didn't pick up on it earlier but you realize that Jamila is actually a janni - a type of genie.

Season of Ghosts

As you move further and further from Bellis, you begin to notice that the landscape and temperatures are changing. Chilly fall winds shift into balmy zephyrs and largely bare trees start to yield to jungle-like growth.

"Wow! Are you all seeing this?" Falbin gapes. "Look there, see those hostas? No business growing in the type of climate we'd normally have here. And we're not even to the real heart of the verdant zone yet! Heck, we're not even as far out from Bellis as I thought we'd be before things started to change - we've only come maybe two miles so far."

Kn. Geography *or* Planes (DC 18):

With a bit of study, you estimate that the verdant zone's rate of expansion is roughly a couple hundred feet per day.

Kn. Arcana *or* Spellcraft (DC 18):

You notice that the rampant vines underfoot closely resemble an augmented version of an Entangle spell - a favorite bit of magic among druids.

Trying not to be too much of a fanboy, the dignified Pai continues, "My tribe holds great reverence for the spirits of the sky and our oldest tales tell of heroes descending from another realm to safeguard our people in times of direst need. The similarities between these heroes and the janni cannot be dismissed."

Xavilon has no idea of what is happening but he's intrigued by all this.

"What could cause such a growth to happen? And fight it?" he mumbles.

This isn't getting us anywhere. There's just as much evidence for one theory as the other.

"Looks like this growth zone is expanding pretty quick," Flynn suddenly remarks. "Maybe a couple hundred feet per day. But then these vines under our feet? They look like some sort of souped up entanglement magic."


Season of Ghosts

"Ah? Yes, I am," Jamila smiles. "Good eye! Most people aren't familiar with my kind without having done some study or having met one of us before. We're usually confused for those with the blood of the elements coursing through their veins, or sometimes those with ancestry tied to the heavenly realms."

Then, contrary to her usual casual, confident demeanor, Jamila shuffles her feet rather shyly. "I'm not sure if I'd go so far as to call myself any sort of hero though. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if there's some truth to those stories of your ancestors. It might be something worth looking into," she remarks thoughtfully.

Season of Ghosts

As soon as Flynn points out his own observations to the group, Falbin and Jamila both begin talking excitedly.

"See? That right there, that rate of growth - it's consistent with recorded examples of blooms that surround rifts into the First World," she exclaims. "Another point for my theory!"

"No way!" Falbin replies, shaking his head emphatically. "Everyone knows how much druids love their entanglement spells! I bet their shenanigans out here in the forest are letting them augment their usual magics - if they can manipulate the weather and plant growth then why not this? I'd say that's a point in my favor, haha!"

And as Flynn had quietly observed to himself, this makes two points in favor of each theory - still a tie, leaving the group nowhere closer to any sort of definitive answer. You press onward through the increasingly large and vibrant undergrowth as your two guides continue to bicker back and forth good-naturedly.
__________

Okay, one last post to follow, please continue to stand by!


Season of Ghosts

After continuing deeper into the forest and finally entering into the verdant zone proper - which by now very much looks like some manner of fantastical jungle with impossibly large plant growth all around - you eventually make your way to a clearing. Great shaggy mushrooms sprout up to 5 feet in height and the soil here is a dark gray, standing in stark contrast to the normal brown soil you've observed up until now. A few pools of water dot the landscape and their depth is impossible to gauge from a distance.

But what's more immediately pressing is the presence of two enormous frogs, squatting amongst the mushrooms. Their tongues are corkscrew-shaped and brightly colored and their skin shifts from rich, brown hues to vibrant blues and greens to dusky red and all colors in-between. One frog appears slightly larger than the other and as they spot the group, they begin a series of strange croaks and ribbits.

You don't really understand frog sounds but based on the body language and tonal shifts, you're pretty sure the two frogs are having a conversation about....something.

so ...

well, I can't actually understand frog language, or whatever this is, but between their tonal variations and their posturing, I'd say they're straight up having a conversation with one another

Aside, to the party members, "You should probably get ready for action."

Season of Ghosts

The two frogs stop croaking and ribbiting at each other and turn their great big eyes on Pai, looking rather startled.

"✡︎□︎◆︎ ♍︎♋︎■︎ ⬧︎◻︎♏︎♋︎ □︎◆︎❒︎ ⧫︎□︎■︎♑︎◆︎♏︎✍︎ ⧫︎♒︎♋︎⧫︎︎⬧︎ ■︎♏︎⬥︎⬧︎ ⧫︎□︎ ❍︎♏︎✏︎," the elder frog remarks.

At this, the elder frog seems to shake its head slightly. "✡︎♏︎⬧︎︎ ⬥︎♏︎●︎●︎︎ ⬥︎♏︎♓︎❒︎♎︎ □︎❒︎ ■︎□︎⧫︎︎ ⧫︎⬥︎□︎︎●︎♏︎♑︎⬧︎ ♋︎❒︎♏︎ ◻︎♋︎❒︎⧫︎ □︎♐︎ ♋︎ ♌︎♋︎●︎♋︎■︎♍︎♏︎♎︎ ❍︎♏︎♋︎●︎," he replies to his son. Then, almost as an afterthought, he turns his attention back to Pai.

"Oh boy...I think you guys had better get ready...!" Falbin warns.

Ribbit:

"You can speak our tongue? That's news to me!"

"Ewwwww, daaaaaad, the food's talking! The food's not supposed to talk, that just makes it even weirder now!"

"Yes, well, weird or not, two-legs are part of a balanced meal."

"Hello, Food. Please pretend that you didn't hear us talking about our plan to eat you, just now. Oh and could you hold still for just a moment? That would be grand!"

Season of Ghosts

A brief explanation - when combat is nigh, I will roll all of the initiatives for my bad guys as well as for you guys. (No worries on rolling your own just now Flynn, as I'd not told you otherwise!) This is to save time so that we're not waiting anywhere from 12-24 hours just for people to roll their initiatives.

Grand Lodge

Male NG Samsaran (Shoanti) Shaman 3 | hp 21/21 | AC 14 T11 FF13 | CMB 0, CMD 11 | F: +2, R +3, W +8 | Init: +5 | Perc: +13, SM: +6 | Speed 30 ft | Monstrous Insight 5/5 |Spells: 1st 3/3, 2nd 2/2 | Conditions: None

Pai moves to right in front of Flynn and uses Evil Eye on Red Frog (DC 15 Will or -2 to attack)

Silver Crusade

Half-Elf Professional 4 | HP: 38/38 | AC: 17 | T: 11 | FF: 16 | CMD: 18 | Fort: +5 | Ref: +7 | Will: +3 | +2 vs enchantements, charms and compulsions | Immune to sleep | Init: +7 | Perc: +10 | Sense Motive: +5 | Speed: 30 ft.
Tracked resources:
Ki: 1/3

Haha magnifique opening :D The map is in "reading only", though.

Xavilon moves next the red-daddy-frog and quickly unsheathes his katana and attacks with two hands.

+1 Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 for Slashing: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 damage + 1d6 ⇒ 4 sneak attack damage. THREAT!

Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 for Slashing: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 additional damage if it confirms.

Free to draw his katana, move to move 30ft and standard to attack.


Season of Ghosts

Whoops, updated sharing - let me know if you still can't edit the maps!

With some regret (or not) Pai moves up in front of Flynn and gives Big Daddy Red the evil eye, hoping to spook him.

Red Will (DC 15): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

And spook him, he does! Big Daddy seems to shrink away from the samsaran's baleful gaze and turns his attention to Xavilon as he comes crashing through the mushrooms with his katana drawn. The half-elf brings his katana down in a surprisingly powerful strike, opening up a gash in Big Daddy's skin that oozes bright crimson.

With one tasty morsel already right up close and in his grill, Big Daddy attempts to snap back at Xavilon with a mouth full of sharp teeth but catches only air!

Bite vs. Xavilon (Evil Eye): 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 = 15

From somewhere near the back of the group, you can hear Jamila begin to cast a spell.

Spellcraft (DC 16):

It's a Speak with Animals spell.

Auberon takes a moment to center himself, calling on his inner dragon. He then moves with surprising speed around the mushrooms, and attacks the frog.

swift to enter dragon style, move action, attack

sansetsukon swing: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

If the daddy frog survived Auberon's attack:

Two wooden stakes slip effortlessly into Trophies hands as she steps forward to secure a clear shot at the father frog. Then, she lets fly:

Swift: Enter Startoss Style. 5-foot Step forward. Full attack, brawler’s flurry, drawing wushu darts as free action.

wushu dart: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 for Piercing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 and
wushu dart: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 for Piercing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

If daddy frog goes down, I will delay to see if the teenage frog surrenders to us. If the teenage frog attacks, I will come out of delay when it is done and attack it back. (I have a 20' range on my throws, so I may take a -2 penalty on those attacks against the teen, depending on where it stops.)


Season of Ghosts

Auberon, while perhaps a little slower to act than some of his companions, uses the delay to his advantage to enter into his own personal 'zone' before racing around to slash viciously at Big Daddy with his sansetsukon. It's a mighty blow that opens up an enormous gash along the giant frog's flank and with a gasping *CROAK* the frog, well...croaks.

"︎□︎■︎︎⧫︎ ⬥︎□︎❒︎❒︎⍓︎ ♎︎♋︎♎︎︎ ♓︎︎●︎●︎ ⬧︎♋︎❖︎♏︎ ⍓︎□︎◆︎✏︎ ◆︎⬧︎⧫︎ ◻︎●︎♋︎⍓︎ ♎︎♏︎♋︎♎︎✏︎," the smaller frog croaks as he comes hopping and splashing through the nearby pool of water. As he draws closer to Auberon, a giant tongue suddenly shoots out of Baby Blue's mouth!

Tongue vs. Auberon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Luckily Auberon is easily able to dodge the giant tongue. Having been ready for Blue to approach, Trophie suddenly steps forward and whips two darts at it, lightning-fast! But Baby Blue stops just a little farther from Trophie than she would've liked and both darts miss the mark, albeit not by much.

Ribbit:

"Don't worry Dad, I'll save you! Just play dead!"

Meligaster bold stares at the frog directly in front of them as a swift. Frog has -2 to Will saves and attack rolls. It will take 2 extra points of damage this round if anyone hits it.

Take total defense.

Auberon will delay to see if the son-frog heeds Pai's suggestion (based on Pai's tone and body posture, given I can't understand fey frog).

If he doesn't accept my offer, I'll take a 5' step toward him, evil eye him for AC (Will 15), then cackle.

Ribbit:

"Stupid food, he's not dead-dead! We don't die here!"

Shaking his head with regret, Pai then takes a step towards the frog and also fixes him with an unsettling look.

Will (DC 15): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Meanwhile, Flynn takes a step forward and adopts a defensive position, waiting to see what happens next.
