Aklo:
"I will try Apep"

Caraid nods, content to fade into the background for now. He isn't particularly tired, but he knows that his stamina is uncommon so he doesn't complain, just slouches in a corner and pulls out his pencils to start drawing again.

Improvised pallets are clustered beneath sculpted divinities, and cooking fires burn beneath cracked windows in this chapel. Panes of violet and blue stained glass form spiraling patterns between prisonlike bars, while dozens of candles flicker from modest alcove shrines. Winter approaches the party, "So what did you manage to find out there? The mist seems thinner now. But at least we know there's somethings out there."

She grimaces. "I wish I had access to the great library of Pharasma in Caliphas. There might be something on what those creatures are in there, and how to get rid of them."

Piotr will drool out the highlights, cultists, ghouls, and fog vomiting things (oh my). "By accounts, there is one more of that fogging thing, and there is the cult leader, and no idea why there are so many ghouls, but nap time if you don't mind, Miss Winters."


Strange Aeons Grp 2 |

"Ulver Zandalus is a patient in Briarstone. He was left with night terrors and unable to speak after being captured by some cult and tortured," Winter informs the party. "I wonder if they brainwashed him in some way to form his own cult?"

Winter scratches her right cheek at the mention of the fog vomiting things. "I wonder if those fog vomiting things gateways to another world. It would explain why there are so many uncanny things out there,"Winter speculates.

"Ghouls?!" Winter's face grows stern, "I hope you put those abominations to rest. Their hunger knows no bounds and it'd be matter of time before they tried to eat us."

"I'm sure you've had a long day, I shouldn't be keeping you up," She gestures at some mattresses in the corner. "Your pallets are here, go take your well earned rest. And thank you for your help, at least we can look forward to being closer to leaving Briarstone Asylum." Winter says gratefully.

Piotr gives a smile of thanks, for the information and more importantly the pallet. He strips his armors, ignores the sweat and blood caked in most crevasses and crashes for a bit.

Kilarra meticulously maintains her sword and armour, using it as a means of getting through the horrors she's witnessed. Soon, she'll likely have to slaughter crazed and stupid cultists, and how to tell if one is devout or just trying to survive? What if one is faking allegiance in order to get the party when their guard is down?

This sword will spend more time caked in layers of blood, but for now, Kilarra can clean and sharpen it.

As Piotr goes to his mattress, after stripping his armor, Captain York happens to walk by and gives Piotr a pointed look, chiding him. "Look man, you don't leave your gear in That condition. It'll get rusty! If you need some oil for cleaning your gear, I can spare you some."

He points at Kilarra, "See? Even your companion knows better."

Garrosh Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Rozalia Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

The party sleeps for the rest of the day, tired from their morning excursion. They do manage to catch some turnip and bacon stew for supper before going back to catch more shut-eye.

The rest and honey Piotr has been drinking seems to have helped with his sore throat and the night passes without incident with everyone waking up feeling refreshed.

Piotr groans and rolls over, taking the advice York offered. Cleaning next to Kilarra he sees her slightly beat up "I've got a nasty bite here as well" showing his side where a ghoul tried to eat him. He puts his hand over it and without thinking heals it

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

He gapes at his hand, then looks at Kilarra and shurgs "What to see if it is just me healing me?"

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 to Kilarra this time

"Thank you for the stew" he says very appreciatively.

"You are playing a dangerous game." Kilarra warns him. "Someone is giving you divine power. You're going to need to find out who it is, and what they want. Otherwise they will break you."

"I'm not playing anything." the big man grumbles but wonders what he would do to make his sister whole again. "I'm going to sleep now." he decides to have enough of the sensible warning and goes to his cot.

Winter happens to walk over, "There are some who carry magic in their blood," She mentions. "Do you have ancestors that made pacts with a unicorn?"

"Sure" he mutters turned away from the women on his cot "Whole family of one horned wonders, we are." then stops, managing a snore a few moments later.

The ladies are more concerned about Piotr's magic then he is himself lol.

Winter looks for Anne, hoping to get more cooperation, but finds Anne no where to be seen. She sighs. "I don't know if that's a yes or a no, but I guess he really needs his sleep."

"Nightmares notwithstanding, yes." Kilarra answers. She neatly packs up her gear beside her, then lays down on the scraps of what would be considered a bed. The thought of walking all the way back to the upstairs room to grab some bedding and cushions does not pass her mind unnoticed.

Winter tells the party, "With the fog thinning, and even though we keep the curtains drawn so as not to alarm the children, I know there are those piles of flesh out there. I'm worried that one of them may try to break through the chapel windows. And we're a little spread out on manpower."

On hearing that, Caraid and Rozalia both volunteer to remain as guards in the chapel, in case anything tries to break in.

Hanoko only:

Earlier this morning - ears of the city

"Desna is the guardian of dreams."

"I'm going to sleep now."

"We're running low on supplies - only a week left."

Now

You find yourself wandering around trampled flowerbeds on a muddy courtyard. The last few days you have been sustaining yourself on what berries your flowering lattice has been providing you, wandering aimlessly through the yellow fog. The fog has become thinner, and you notice a quivering pile of tumorous flesh, with strangely human eyes(except they’re too many and all over the thing), and nose staring at you as it lurches threateningly in your direction. You really don’t think it’s friendly. Some short distance, you spot a small tunnel(just nice enough for your fox form to fit through) leading into a stone building.

What do you do? You're on the map.

Rest of the world - Hanoko's in - you guys need to decide which direction you should be moving


Hanako on her own:
Hanako contemplates her options... it really isn't a tough choice.

She transforms to her little fox self, clad in nothing but flowers.

...sneaking away from the weird thing with the stary nose, and doing all in her power not to be noticed by whatever thing could follow her into this hole. A toothy snake? her imagination submits.

Stealth Mode, +4 DEX adj, size bonus: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 + 8 = 30

In addition to sneaking around, she takes a cue from the door, relying on both eyes and nose.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Survival (with Scent): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

After a meager rations, Kilarra suits up into her armour and grabs her flamberge greatsword. "Right, so important decision to make. Are we slaughtering through the ... ... yellows, or are we gonna start clearing out the south east side?"

Hanoko:

C6

Sagging shelves, held together by dust and an extensive system of rolling ladders, ring this library of husky, dull-looking tomes. At the room’s center broods a heavily worn table surrounded by uncomfortable chairs. A chandelier of iron vines dangles above. The scents of leather and old paper pervade the high-ceilinged space, but so does a distinct bestial musk that smells distinctly like rats as well as something fishy.

She also notices 3 ratlike creatures with tiny human hands in place of its front paws, and an unnerving human face with a toothy mouth on the book shelves, with two large rats, whose noses are twitching violently and squeaking as if smelling her. "Byddwch yn wyliadwrus, mae ein brodyr llygod mawr yn arogli rhywbeth." One of the ratlike creatures say. She also sees a brightly colored, long-necked amphibian has six legs, a fanged snout, and numerous finlets running down its spine. b]"Ydych chi'n gweld neu'n arogli unrhyw beth, Apep?" [/b] One of the rat creatures asks the long necked amphibian. "Peidiwch â gweld unrhyw beth ond mae arogl newydd." The long necked amphibian squeaks, its nose twitching.

AKLO:

Be wary, our rat brothers smell something.

Do you see or smell anything, Apep?

Dont see anything, but there's a new smell.

can't double spoiler

Hanako:
Seems I'm on the left/west of C6, where the red line points out a tunnel? Creatures seem to populate northeast corner. That door to the south is looking good!

Hanako takes advantage of silent paws, but neither her fox form nor the flowering lattice in her fur is equipped for opening a door. So from the shelf, she reverts to her human shape. (Perhaps that form between human and fox would be more welcome here, but... habits, y'know.)

She trusts she can get to the door silently enough, but opening it will draw attention anyway, so—

Standard action was transformation.
+
Move: 30' to SW corner and leap off shelf to get as close to the south door as possible.

VP: Acro: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

—she leaps gracefully from shelf to southern door (or as close as she can get* if a full move draws attention), and speaks in Aklo:

<Please do not be alarmed. My name is Kojima Hanako, and I mean no harm to you, Apep.>

She makes a point to hold her hands outward, as a show she does not intend to slide the bow off her shoulder. There is no arrow in hand.

<I hope my 'new smell' does not offend you?>
Bluff (Convey Hidden Meaning): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Nat 20 is overkill. I just need DC15 for a simple message to be understood; or DC20 if complex.

Her body language, and the look she gives Apep, who surely noticed the transformation, gives her words an additional meaning to the ratling Hanako knows by name.

Apep only: Hanako's Aklo words are clearly an implicit appeal to their racial commonality, as if to add, "Why *would* my smell offend? We are, after all, both rodents and people."

Garrosh ponders the options before them for a few moments - "Dealing with Zandalus and his followers would definitely be a good step in at least making this place safe" - he comments - "We could explore the southeast area afterwards" - the half-orc adds, fitting his gear and getting ready to depart.

"But I dislike the risk of leaving behind us potential dangers or threats to those we are aiming to protect - so my suggestion is that we finish the exploration before plodding ahead"

Piotr stretches and pops from the short sleep, and Ann simply pops back into existence, looking annoyed at not being able to read while he slept. While he puts on his armor, he listens to the others and agrees "Exploring might find us another of the fog vomiters, or might show us a way to get these people out of here without having to cut through a lot of people. Some of who might not be bad, just scared."

Ann doesn't comment just tries to find her place again in the book.

"Alright. We'll explore first."

I'm thinking about going to that door at C8, and afterwards heading over to D6 and south. Sound good?

Hanoko only:

"Beth yw'r ..? Yn gyntaf rydych chi'n llwynog ac nawr rydych chi'n llwynog anthromorffig? A dyma ein tiriogaeth! Beth wyt ti'n gwneud yma!" The ratlings squeak at her.

Apep on the other hand cocks her head curiously at Hanoko. "Beth wyt ti? Dwi erioed wedi gweld unrhyw beth yn edrych fel chi o'r blaen?"

Aklo:

What the..? First you're a fox and now you're a human? And this is our territory! What are you doing here!

What are you? I've never seen anything looking like you before?


Strange Aeons Grp 2 |

The party heads towards the library, to find a commotion with the latest scene a confrontation between the ratlike creatures and a small sized and currently unclothed female with salient eyes.

Aklo:

By rat creatures

And this is our territory! What are you doing here!

By the unclothed female

Please do not be alarmed. My name is Kojima Hanako, and I mean no harm to you, Apep.

I hope my 'new smell' does not offend you?

Hanako turns to the horned woman and says, "I am almost five feet tall." (4'11', skinny) "I am as human as you are."

She realizes that only one of the men is human. But oh! Men! Um...

Hanako snaps her fingers and, within seconds, her spidersilk bodystocking and equally translucent sleeves are replaced by her crimson and white school uniform.

"My apologies for my appearance—"

She repeats this in Alko, then adds,

Aklo:
<—and for my intrusion as well, Apep. My magic heard the voices of one of these people. Is everyone friends here? I do not intend to make trouble.

<To be fair, I am both fox and human at once. It is complicated.>

Hanako says to the woman, "I came in through the rat-person's tunnel. There are many scary things out there. Are you, perchance, the people short on food supplies? I heard, one week left?

"I cannot help much, but I do have pure water. If that helps."

It's pretty obvious she's trying not to upset anyone. Hanako has a bow on her shoulder, and arrows in her quiver. Her hands remain empty and spread away from her weapons to show she hopes not to draw them.

Kilarra doesn't remember being told they've only got a week left, but they are certainly short on food. "Yeah, food's real short. We've got lots of mouths to feed. I think we're doing pretty good on water, though. So who are you? And how'd you get through the tunnel?"

Kilarra is a little tense. Her greatsword is at rest on her shoulder, while she stands straight and to attention. The tiny woman's clear choice not to wield weapons does comfort Kilarra, but Aklo and magic do not.

Garrosh watches the exchange in silence waiting for answers, but his bow is drawn, and his eyes survey not only the new arrival but also Apep, trying to get a sense how tense the situation really is.

Sense Motive (is Apep or the others distressed or more curious than anything else?): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Well, as I was explaining to Apep here, I am a person who is both human and fox. I can converse with an ordinary fox, and I can take one's shape. Oh—and where are my manners?" Looking back at the tiny tunnel she entered (west wall of C6, on a bookshelf), she says, "I suppose my manners were frightened away by that stary-nosed, many-eyed... thing. Out there.

"Kojima Hanako. Er... just Hanako will do." She smiles sweetly—
Bluff (Me? Scared? Un-possible.): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
—sweet, with just a barely perceptible hint of timid, as she babysteps toward the strange woman and asks, "And how shall I address you, Miss...?"

Hanako's eyes flicker up to the horns on the woman's head. The sight of them puts Hanako at ease.

Kilarra stands firm on her furry hooves. Her resting face shows no signs of happiness. "Kilarra. I've never heard of a fox shapeshifter. Are you similar to a werewolf?"

Hanako shrugs. "Maybe. Today is my first time seeing rat-people, and I've never met a wolf-person. But you... many of my favorite people are women with horns and hooves! You remind me of the ravishing Miss Mizzola..." Hanako thinks a bit before finishing more honestly, "...aaahh's fifth ex-wife."

Hanako flips her long, florally-adorned hair. Three pink petals flutter to the floor.

The girl says dreamily, "She gave me my flowers." Then with an odd widening of guilt in her eyes, she clarifies, "I mean Miss Mizzola. Not her fifth ex."

Well that answered my next question. She's certified insane.

"Rriiiiight. So, we're trying to clear out all the monst..." She realizes that she's surrounded by outsiders and whatnot. "... Really bad things from this asylum. You've got weapons, and some magic, so do you wanna help out? Or we can bring you back to headquarters where they'll keep you safe."

Piotr turned a bit pink at the undress of the woman and looked away, while the strangely translucent woman that looks a bit like him, appraised her like an amused enemy.

"We have accepted help from all sorts in this place." Ann says, emphasizing All "Why not a fox person who popped out of a tunnel?" she gestures to Piotr "This is my brother Piotr, and I am his sister Ann, and no I am not a ghost. Welcome to our ever-shifting band."

Hanako assures Kilarra, "I would rather help than hide in a safehouse while you risk your skin for me. I am not strong like you, but I shoot okay, and I can sing to you if you are wounded." She purses her lips, adding, "You do not strike me as a music lover, but I will win you over when my voice, lute and dance closes your gashes and knits your bones!"

She turns her attention to the semi-invisible woman and her... brother?

"Ann, Poitr," offering Poitr a handshake, now-clothed-Hanako says, "You must be twins. And," to Ann, "you must be a hugger."

Hanako steps in to hug Ann.

"But where were you before the courtyard which stands in that direction?" - Garrosh interrupts the niceties with some pragmatism, and nodding towards the west wall - "Outside? Or were you a patient? Or staff?"

Ann smiles somewhere between sweet and sinister, going in to hug and stepping through her. "oh..." she looks sorry "you should answer his questions, he is really good at killing things"

Piotr shakes his head at his sister "Hi, a lot has happened and most of it bad. So don't mind our paranoia."

“Or not,” Hanako says of the hug-fail. As for the advice, she nods to the twins and replies to the half-orc,

“Well, I am certainly not staff. Currently, I am unemployed. I used to work at Miss Mizzola’s br—” Do not say ‘brothel!’

“Uh. Sorry to call you ‘Bruh,’ as in ‘Brother.’ I seem to have forgotten your name.” Hanako knows gosh-darn-fudging well the half-orc did not introduce himself. She also knows that nobody, nobody, would believe she worked a year in a brothel with her virginity intact. She can, fortunately, be entirely truthful about the work she actually did there.

“I was a performer.” So were the slutty exes. Details, Girl! “The musical kind!”

She snaps her fingers. A lute falls from the sky, into her arms. She is well aware this is neither the time nor place to break into song—especially the way the not-ex-wife is giving her the three-heads look—so she merely holds the summoned instrument as she explains…

(…not in verse, Girl!)

“I do not know how I got here, really. It was hard to see through the yellow fog, but I have a magically-accurate sense of direction, so I just kept going one way until I saw this many-eyed thing that I think even has an eye in at least one nostril. It stared with its nose, and so I became a fox and entered the hole in the wall mainly to get away from it.”

Not wanting to think about that weird monster, Hanako attempts to change topics.

“Are you and Apep friends? He seems nice, though his guys are kind of get-off-my-lawny.”

"Yes, I think, at least" Piotr responds, running his hand through his short hair, "Listen, we're looking for a way to clear out the rest of the fog. We found this thing that vomited out the stuff--"

"It had a portal to another plane of existence inside it" Ann adds.

"Yeah that, and it thinned it. We are looking for others to stop it all and we can get all these people out of here."

Hanako only:

You recognize this guy's voice as the person saying [url=https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivjx0/gameplay&page=30#1469]"I'm going to sleep now." from your earlier casting of Ears of the city.

The ratlike creatures squeak at Hanoko, "Mae llwynogod yn bwyta cnofilod. Sut hoffech chi pe bai ysglyfaethwr yn mynd ar eich tywarchen?"

"A yw'n well gennych fod â 4 coes neu 2 goes? Onid yw'n anodd cydbwyso ar 2 goes?" Apep chrips at Hanako

Aklo:

Foxes eat rodents. How would you like if a predator got on your land?

Do you prefer being having 4 legs or 2 legs? Isn't it hard to balance on 2 legs?


(-2 CON) Female Kitsune Lv.5 Bard Duettist | ♥️27/27 | 0/19BP | Spells:0/6~0/3| Arrows:60 | Charges:25 | 17AC/13t/14ff | Fort+2/Ref+8/Will+5 | Perc+9 | Init+5

Hanako says to Piotr, "The people you protect can count on my bow."

She turns to Apep, making pouty lips as she speaks.

Aklo:
<Oh, but I never even had such a thought. I would never… how to explain…?

Erm… my preferred number of legs, you ask?>

Hanako bows rather dramatically to Apep, and suddenly leaps into the air—

VP Dance:Acro: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

—kicking off a wall, she executes a flawless backflip-handspring combo, gracefully ending in a twirl, sakura petals fluttering to the ground around her as her long, fine hair spirals back into place.

She's pretty sure she won't outdo herself in fox form, so Hanako decides to quit while she's ahead.

Giggling a little (surprised at how well that went), she tells Apep,

Aklo:
<…well, I guess I can balance adequately on two legs. But it is my four-legged form that brought me here, Apep. And it is your tunnel that saved my life.

So thank you, Apep, and know that whatever predator I am, my prey is the evil that threatens both your people and the humans. These humanish friends of yours are accepting my help, so we are one big budding friendship!

Also… if it will put your mind at ease, you are a person, so what foxes eat has no bearing on how I see you. I am a seafood lover, and now that I think of it, I would never harm a mermaid.>

She then says to the others, "I am telling Apep you have accepted my help, and assuring that I am no threat to the ratlings. Foxes eat rats, but I happen to be a seafood lover. I would no sooner harm a rat-person than I would harm a mermaid.

"Oh… and I do have a question for you. Who said 'Desna is the Guardian of Dreams?'"


Piotr: Fighter 2/Spirtualist 6| HP 63/63 | AC 22 T 12 FF 20 | Ft +11 Rf +8 Wi +11*(+2 Ann In Brain,+3 vs fear) | Init +2 | Perc +5 l CMD 20 | spells: level 1 5/5 level 2 4/4 | conditions: bulls strength(piotr), bless, blessing of fervor, mage armor (ann) Ann: HP 40/40| AC 22(without mage armor) T 14 FF 18 | Ft +3 Rf +9 Wi +7(+4 vs enchantments) | Init +4 | Perc +4 | DR 5/slashing

"Is that a riddle?" Piotr asks, "I'm not that fond of them, so can you just tell me the answer and act like I struggled with it?"

Ann turns solid again, pulling the book out from Piotr's pack that she borrowed and returns it to the shelf until she gets back.

Hanako shakes her head. "I heard your voice early in the morning, Piotr. You said, 'I am going to get some sleep now.' Another voice—not someone in this room—said something about being low on supplies.

"It was the voice I heard before yours that said 'Desna is the Guardian of Dreams.' I hoped maybe there is a Desna-worshipper among you. It does sound like a riddle, but no... riddles are not my cup of tea.

"Likely, I only heard a part of a conversation, and it is possible the words are no more important to your mission than your announcement of getting sleep."

"Wel, chi'n gweld, mae gen i 6 comes" Apep thumps her legs on the ground, with a mischevious grin,"Felly ni allaf ddychmygu sut brofiad fyddai gyda llai, er ei bod yn ymddangos eich bod yn gwneud yn eithaf da ar ddau." Apep acknowledges after Hanako's feat of acrobatics. "Ac nid fy nhwnnel mohono, mae'n rhy fach i mi basio. Mae'n perthyn i'r ratlings."

"Ydw. Yr hyn a ddywedodd Apep, ein twnnel ydyw.Os nad ydych chi'n mynd i fwyta ni yna mae'n debyg y gallwn adael i chi basio ..." One of the rat like creatures says grudgingly.

"The pink skin treaty. We're not supposed to harm any pink skins!" Another rat like creature pipes up.

"Ond mae hi'n llwynog hefyd, felly sut fyddai hynny'n gweithio? Ydy hi'n llwynog neu'n groen pinc?" A third rat like creature adds.

Aklo:

Well, I've got 6 legs,

So I can't imagine how it'd be like with less, though you seem to be doing pretty well on two.

And it's not my tunnel, it's too small for me to pass. It belongs to the ratlings.

Yeah what Apep said, it's our tunnel you used. If you're not going to eat us then I guess we can let you pass...

The pink skin treaty. We're not supposed to harm pink skins!

But she's also a fox, so how would that work out? Is she a fox or a pink skin?
