When the group gets closer to the caverns, Zzvkgrogk takes his usual cocktail of extracts.
”Whoa! Holdup everyone!” whispers Zzvkgrogk peering at the cave entrance out from behind the people in front of him. ”Those are no ordinary mold-encrusted trees – those are shambling mounds!”
He pulls out his laser pistol and shoots one once.
rtchrtchrtch!!
for
He watches his beam get deflected by a lode of mica -- which miraculously survive the laser -- ore maybe it's not mica -- and fly off into the distance only to fizzle on a bit of harmless moss.
Rūha examines the surroundings, thinking about the swamp and its monsters all the way to the south. She asks Isuma "You mentioned strange winged creatures. Could you describe them? Maybe there is something else we should prepare before entering." She scans the entrance for any hazards or traps awaiting more ground-bound individuals.
At Zzvkgrogk's sudden shot, she raises an eyebrow "Shambling mounds? Lets see if we can deal with them from a distance then."
Know (Nature)
”Ayep, more shamblers,” Rhoreen agrees, getting a bit higher in the air. ”Though it’s hard to tell them from the shots being taken at them.”
Zzvkgrogk accurate knowledge of the Numerian vegetation let's him understand the danger before the mounds can surprise the group on their approach.
The mass of tangled vines and dripping slime reacts to Zzvkgrogk's failed beam by starting to move shaking their vines.
"My warning was about some winged vegetation, but not these plants. Though these are dangerous too" Isuma takes aim with her Androffan riffle and shots at the first one.
Beams of cold freeze the plant creature.
Hyrsek advances himself and readies his rapier standing just in front of Rhoreen.
Round 1
Rhoreen offers a comely fireball into the trio of plants. She knows they have some resistance to fire, but assumes the force of her magics will still be felt.

Rhoreen's ball of fire bursts at the mist of the vegetation by the entrance, burning it badly even despite it being a bit dampen.
Zzvkgrogk aim is way more accurate this time, but he finds out his laser is barely effective on the humid vegetation.
Khalia does something heroic!
The shambling mounds move very slow and they have to charge to reach your lines, but they do so trying to face the ranged attackers.
Hyrsek interrupts the first one trying to strike.
The tiefling skewers the first one while blocking the attacks from both plants.
The last one takes Zzvkgrogk by the neck, the vines stretching badly his small body and shaking him in the air!

Round 2
Flying well above the foes, Rhoreen lets the ground-bound brute squad finish off the beasts, both preserving her magics and letting them think that they contributed.
I'm pretty good at this.
Meanwhile Ruha offers her customary Advice before stepping closer to Zzvkgrogk and interfering with the mound's attempts to keep hold of him.
With some good saw grinding, Yambul makes good splinters out of the shambling mound grasping Zzvkgrogk.
Being the creature destroyed, the ratfolk feels free and safe to continue his shooting.
When Rhoreen gathers her list for purchases, Khalia requests magic to preserve the two bodies.
The idea of a magical belt which bolsters her agility and stamina also brightens in her mind.
...

Khalia assesses the animate shrubbery and finds herself reaching for regular arrows, confident she can put a dent in them from a distance. She is less happy when they successfully close the distance.
She targets Dark Green.
She doesn't let up until the bushes stop moving.
Khalia takes down the first shambling mound in line, then does two more shots, putting three more arrows on the remaining plant. The multiple vines broken makes it lose stability and finally falls defeated over the ground.
"You are certainly very efficient at this" comments Isuma as she lowers her riffle.
As you approach the area covered by the vegetation, you find out a tunnel. The ceiling heights in the cave around 8 feet. The air inside looks thick with a nasty green haze.
You identify the particles in the air as fungal spores. You do not think they are deadly but they are probably sickening.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Zzvkgrogk tumbles towards the ground but some how (thankfully) manages to stay on his feet. He side-trots through Yambul’s open stance, draws his dragon pistol and fires!
POP~!~!!
for
Ohhh, Brigh! I knew I should have used pellets! They might have done more damage!
~~~~
Zzvkgrogk heals up before moving on.
He shrugs, not quite understanding what it is at which he is looking. "Nasty."
"Ahh, a tunnel. Looks like that's gonna just cover us in green crap." Yambul muses, glad he's got a prestidigitation to clean everyone off when they get out.
"Might as well get started. Everyone ready?"
He waits while others prepare, search, etc. When everyone is indeed ready, he'll stride into the tunnel.
Rūha shrugs to Isuma "We've had practice." She peers into the cave entrance with a similar expression as Yambul "Looks unpleasant. Anyone know if that's safe to breathe in or if we'll need to bring our own air?" Assuming someone can confirm it is, or if no one knows and someone needs to test it, Rūha approaches the entrance.
She inspects it for more hidden hazards as she makes her way in.
Know (Nature)
”Those spores aren’t deadly, but might make you sick,” Rhoreen warns of the bad air.
Rhoreen affixes her gas mask, and also, this time, activates the battery that it runs on. Let’s see if this thing works.
She, still flying when she can, will follow after the others.
Fort
Yambul tries to breathe shallowly (hah!) and enters the cave.
(heroism)
He coughs almost immediately...
The group ventures into the cave and slowly Yambul and Hyrsek start to feel sickened.
A set of six humanoid ribcages, stained red by ragged scraps of clinging meat and hanging from cords like a grisly row of unlit chandeliers, adorn the ceiling of this widened tunnel. The unmistakable odor of rotting flesh mingles with the fetid stink of the soupy swamp water covering the cave passage’s floor.
The swampy water in this cave corridor is 2 feet deep, the stone bottom slick with green slime. Close examination of the ribcages reveals that the bones are held together by artfully woven plant fiber—someone obviously put a great deal of effort to prepare this macabre ornamentation.
The ceiling climbs to a height of 20 feet in the last 15 feet of the north corridor where the passage appears to end at a wall.
You notice a ledge opening (8 feet across and 2 feet high) about 15 feet above that leads deeper into the cave complex.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Khalia also studies the spores.
"Hold on a moment."
The android tries out her magical energies again, as she did when they worried about alien landscapes on the other side of teleportation circles.
If the pockets of breathable air fail to prevent exposure to the spores, Khalia takes her chaance turn breathing them in.
She points to the obvious ledge. "It looks like we can continue there."
Zzvkgrogk shakes the last of the icky grappled feeling off of himself and quaffs an Extract of Parfait (Heroism) . Being immune to poison, he heads into the cavern after the others in a more or less carefree manner.
Disgusted by the 2 feet of swamp rot he has been paddling through to get here, he sees the ledge before Khalia has a chance to mention it and starts climbing.
”Boy, wouldn’t it be nice to be above all this muck?”
"Well, what are you all waiting for? Come on up -- the air is fine but for the spore and slime, and the path is forward."
Perception
”Yes, you’re right, Khalia,” Rhoreen says, confirming the discovery. ”Seems like a deeper route.”
She waits for Zzvkgrogk to climb up, not enjoying her friends discomfort, but also not above feeling a bit smug given her ability to fly.
She will follow others as they get up.

Yambul thanks Khalia for the Life Bubble. ”Pretty cool. My own shell of air huh?” He’s a little disappointed when the water seeps into his boots though. Can’t stop that!
Still, he’s pleased when they get to the end and there’s a short climb to something less damp.
(sickness - maybe)
Assuming that gets him to the top, he’ll set the grapple and lower his rope to help others climb.
Khalia's magics pushes away the spores in the air, she identifies the hazard before the group ventures in, so when you do, you are already protected.
Seeing the ledge, Zzvkgrogk and Yambul climb up while Rhoreen flies up with ease.
Hyrsek and Isuma try to follow up but they fail badly "Maybe it is best if we stay here"
Up the ledge, the cave splits in two. One goes to the north then east, and the other to the west.
Rhoreen will lead the party to the north and west, the obviously better way to go. She knows this and its obvious.
Ruha keeps looking from side to side as she takes in the slimy surroundings. She climbs up Yambul's rope and then helps anyone else up behind her. "Hyrsek, Isuma, surely a climb like this won't stop you? I expect it'd be more dangerous on your own in any case."
She heads after Rhor, wanting to make sure that she doesn't take the brunt of any surprises to the west.

Yambul shrugs, and follows Rhoreen and Rüha north and west.
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
"This slime is just too sliding..." Isuma complains, but they do try one last time upon encouragement by Rūha.
And under the Kasatha's guiding, they finally make it up the ledge.
The group takes the obviously perfect direction that cannot fail.
The tunnel widens at this juncture and the ceiling climbs to twenty feet. A few bones, red with traces of gore, are scattered on the lichen-encrusted floor.
You identify that these are arm and leg bones of humanoid origin, coming from at least four separate individuals.
You notice hard-to-spot ledges 15 feet above to east and west, obscured by tangled curtains of hanging moss and fungus.
Heal
Perception
"Hyrsek, there are bones here from four different individuals. One may or may not be the ones you seek. Hard to tell, really," Rhoreen explains about the bones.
"Also, there is another ledge up that way," she points to a hard-to-spot ledge 15 feet above to east and west, obscured by tangled curtains of hanging moss and fungus.
"We probably should continue on and return to examine that, right Ruha?"
(heroism) vs DC 14
He nods along with Rhoreen, but disagrees. "No, let's check 'em out. Set my grapple will you? I want to climb up."
If Rhoreen sets the grapple, Yambul will climb up to take a look.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Zzvkgrogk finds himself wondering why Rhoreen is suddenly asking questions.
Doesn’t Calliope know everything?
He looks up at the higher ledge.
”Back in the Warren we always conceal our true paths. Maybe we should take the high road?”
He quaffs a colorless extract and starts cautiously heading for the ledge.

Rūha considers and then says "While they could conceal some paths to the sides, my thought is that they're also perfect to hide in. And I'd rather not have something drop down behind us. Yambul, lets see what's up there."
Zzvkgrogk does not get ahead of the bigger folk grappling up.
"Rūha, don't you have a grappling hook? I mean, it might be ovekill, but easier to position from afar?"
Khalia remains somewhat towards the back, her bow at the ready. They certainly saw nothing before entering the cavern, but that doesn't mean that something won't return from its hunt in the Scar. And she's not keen on more climbing in the slime.
Rhoreen moves to support the team in exploring the ledge. She's happy to help attach a grappling hook after the hole has been deemed safe.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Rhoreen won't go first, and so Yambul can't see if it's safe.
He chuckles, shrugs, and tries climbing the wall himself. If he thinks he can.
(heroism)
Once at the top, he'll set the grapple for Rüha, and see what lies within, his ioun torch lighting the way.
"Zzvkgrogk, I have something even better." She hoists the autograpnel, but Yambul beats her to throwing a hook up in the more conventional way. "Though I prefer not to climb slimy cliffs unless I have to."
...
Even with the rope, she slips and slides over the place. "Case in point."
Zzvkgrogk nods to Rūha. "I am not good at climbing either, I feel your frustration. A bit."
Should they happen to be climbing, Zzvkgrogik airwalks with Yambul and Rūha but from thirty feet away horizontally more or less triangulating with Khalia and Rhoreen.
”Flying things must feel more safe and at home in here, given the difficulty with the tunnels or warrens or holes.”
Khalia waits and follows, primarily perceiving their backs, and waiting to hear some scuffle at their fronts.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
”Flying things must feel more safe and at home in here, given the difficulty with the tunnels or warrens or holes.”
Well, *I'm* flying and I don't feel safe here at all. Too many stupid creatures around that would want to attack me. If they were smarter, they wouldn't do that.
After some hesitance, Yambul braves the wall and reaches for the top of the ledge. There he founds two unnaturally graceful creatures sneaking at the party. They have bulbous fungoid lumps for a head, spiny insectoid wings, and a tangle of spiky, clawed legs.
They immediately attack on the Kellid as he makes it up profiting he is still trying to make his landing.
The first creature puts its claws on him, bleeding on his face, while the other one crushes his fingers forcing him to fall down the ledge.

When Rhoreen can see the creatures, she will figure some stuff out about them...or nothing other than their name.

Woefully behind the others, Khalia does her best to interpret information being fed back to her from the others, those who can see the creatures, feel their very breath on their necks.
Other than their obvious anatomicals helping define them as alien creatures, Khalia remains quiet, waiting for a way forward to open up.
The angle is awkward, but Ruha aims up at the ledge where the mi-go just pushed Yambul and fires at the nearest one with her auto-grapnel.
Assuming it hits, the long cable attached to the adamantine spike goes taut. She gets ready to hopefully reel the creature in next round.
”Ugh. Actual Mi-go. More disgusting plants! Like stupid shambling mounts, they resist fire and electricity (both 10). Don’t let them grab you or sneak up on you! They like to explore your insides!
Ledge high in the sky, Zzvkgrogk fires at the green enemy with his dragon pistol.

Rhoreen focuses the irascible energies of her skymetal rod at the least wounded plant foe. She focuses taking the heat from around the creature, trying to leave it frozen and alone.
Yambul lands skillfully and drinks a defensive concoction.
Khalia ponders her chances.
Rūha finds no difficult terrain and her autograpnel strikes on the mi-go when it looks down the ledge to see where Yambul ended. The spike binds tight on it despite not fully harming it!
The noise reverberates in the cave as Zzvkgrogk III puts two bullets on the same alien. The lead only partially penetrates.
Rhoreen calls the jinx for help and the skymetal answers backs.
Hyrsek and Isuma look around for what is happening "What is on? Can we get out of this tunnel?"
The mi-go descend flying to strike at Rūha and Yambul.
But they manage to dodge the attacks!
Two more mi-go descend from the other ledge and join the fight.
Only to find powerful magical protections that block their claws!
Rūha offers advice to her allies, directing them to strike the mi-go. "Resistant to adamantine spikes, but I expect Khalia's arrows will find a way." Holding her autograpnel in two hands, she uses a third hand to jab at the mi-go that attacked her and try to stun it out of the air.
Zzvkgrogk's special seem to push more effectively the creature, as the force damage indeed bypasses their hide.
Rūha connects on the mi-go as it descends, but does not manage to stun the alien creature.
