After an hour of using scoop you see about a foot of earth gone from a 5 by 5 foot section where the blue flowers were originally.

Stone of Weight (Loadstone)
Aura faint transmutation; CL 5th
Slot none; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION
This dark, polished stone reduces the possessor’s base land speed to half of normal. Once picked up, the stone cannot be disposed of by any nonmagical means—if it is thrown away or smashed, it reappears somewhere upon the possessor’s person. If a remove curse spell is cast upon a loadstone, the item may be discarded normally and no longer haunts the individual.

At your feet is a bag of 500 gp, in your other hand without the treasure map piece appears to be a set of metal dice in a nice felt bag and...
Zaidel notices Sir Drystan's new blue and green screens. "Well, look at that. Nice job, Sir Drystan. Do I have to call you 'Sir Drystan' each time. No. I get it. Manifestation and Intention. I got it. Sir Drystan always. Got it."
The satyr face looks serious, then speaks aloud. "Current available quests." A blue screen pops up in front of Zaidel as he reads. Accept Quest: Fetch me a pail of water. Accept quest: Cleaning out the outhouse."
Zaidel's blue screen replies with Quests Accepted: Fetch me a pail of water. Cleaning out the outhouse.
"Pardon me folks, I got some quests to do. You're welcome to snag those if ya like."
Zaidel disengages with Sir Drystan and the other newcomer and walks up to barkeep. "Hello, Roland. I'm eager to get started on filling your though. Do you have a bucket I can use? Where should I go for water? And do you have a shovel I can use later to empty the outhouses?"
"Want a hand, Zaidel? I can use magic to clean and muscle to haul." Jon flexed. While his new form wasn't 'stage muscle' ready, it was much more like a traditional body builder - that is, pear with big arms. Not too unlike his previous body, really, albeit it firmer and a lot taller. The arms were much more impressive.
"Want a hand, Zaidel? I can use magic to clean and muscle to haul." Jon flexed.
"Of course, Jon. Thank you." Zaidel smiled up at the helpful giant. "We do seem to make a great team."
Roland winks at Zaidel as he offers to help, heartily he says "The pail to use should be on the end of the trough. The well in the center of town would be your best bet unless you could create water. The outhouses have shelfs to pull, then carry them the 300 feet to my manure pile out North."
Roland winks at Zaidel as he offers to help, heartily he says "The pail to use should be on the end of the trough. The well in the center of town would be your best bet unless you could create water. The outhouses have shelfs to pull, then carry them the 300 feet to my manure pile out North."
Zaidel laughs uproariously. "YES! Not a problem! We'll be back when the jobs are done."
Walking out to the trough, the caydenite looks up to his giant friend. "Sometimes I keep forgetting I'm a cleric, Jon. I will ALWAYS have create water in my orisons. So that's taken care of. Give me a moment and I'll help with the outhouses."Once the trough if found, Zaidel cast create water as many times as needed until the receptacle is full of fresh, clean water.
Nodding, Jon went to the Outhouse and descided to test the limits of Prestidigitation when it came to cleaning. Hopefully it would get rid of the muck and the smell all on it's own without too much need to haul, but if hauling was needed...ah well. The smell wasn't a big issue.

"Time for me to get a work out in! Roland, my I step ou tback to do some training?"
"I will work on getting the pail of water." He says as he takes off to find the pail and head towards the well.
'Excellent, Jean." When the bronze dragon wyrmling comes back to the trough with the bucket, Zaidel makes sure to fill that with water using his create water spell, so Jean gets full credit for the quest.
"The wrath your god Ragathiel displays comes from the fires of Hell," mentions Sage. "Don't be afraid to channel that rage!"
With narrowed eyes, Sir Drystan turns to Sage Li. "I know My Lord Ragathiel's story. He overcame his origin. He strived for centuries to prove his worth."
When the screen appears, he scratches his head and looks at it for a minute. "Hmm. Ok, sure. Why not?" He selects Yes, and chooses to hang onto his boost for now.
I'm a bit confused about this:

It seems to have rolled 3 times instead of 2? A wyvern? Where did that gold come from? Do I get that too? What's with the map and scarab? They don't seem to relate to the rolls.
Otto Approaches Sir Drystan and Extends a hand "Hello, Nice to meet you, I'm otto! what was your name?"
As you rolled a 63, thus you get to reroll 2 times and gain 500 gp.

As Jean finishes filling the trough, Roland comes out with a waterskin and 3 hard tack rolls. He offers, "For your hard work! Also I will get you a drink when you come in."
A blue screen pops up in front of Jean and it says:

Roland was about to tell you to go get a bath but with your spells that is not an issue and he chuckles. "Well when you are ready I will set you both up with a warm meal and a bed to sleep in for the night... well Jonathan I could spruce up one of the stalls in the stables, I am not sure if my rickety beds would hold your weight. That sound alright?"
Then Zaidel and Jonathan get another blue screen:
"Hidden Objective Completed!"
Quest: Teamwork is the best work!
Reward: both gain reward of the quest you just finished.
2nd reward: Random bonus item.
"Time for me to get a work out in! Roland, my I step ou tback to do some training?"
Roland nods in agreement, "You are more than welcome to use any open space for training except for my smithy."
"Whoo!" Jon said, offering his palm for a giant-sized high-five.

That sound alright?"
"Roland, if it's all the same, I can still have the bath?" The happy, yet tired satyr asked. "If not for me, then my companion, Mia. And Mia and I will share that wonderful meal, so two forks please?"
Then Zaidel and Jonathan get another blue screen:
"Hidden Objective Completed!"
Quest: Teamwork is the best work!
Reward: both gain reward of the quest you just finished.

"Whoo!" Jon said, offering his palm for a giant-sized high-five.
"Whoo!" Zaidel answers with his own high-five, though Jonathan had to bring it a bit lower for the satyr.
Zaidel returns inside The Pig's Roast to find Mia and explain their turn of good fortune. "So, you can have a bath if you wish. I know I cast prestidigitation, but you might enjoy the sensation. If you don't want it, I'll take it. Or we can share. Also tonight we will share a dinner meal and a bed, giving you a roof to sleep under. I hope that acceptable."
A wooden #2 pencil with a sharpened end and a fresh clean pink eraser at the other end, that is 8 inches long appears in your hand.

Key to random chest of coins (magically created)
A pencil appears in Jonathan's hand. As Zaidel gains an iron key with a '3' on it, and a silver key with a moonstone in its pommel, also a bag of coins appears by his foot.
Roland nods and brings out three plates of food piled high with a potato salad, a 10 oz. boar steak and three slices of texas toast. "Mia eats free, I am glad someone has helped her and hopefully you can get that curse lifted. Yeah you are more than welcome to use the bath."
She nods her head in agreement meaning she wants a bath and continues to nod her head at what you say. She gets up and walks over to give you a hug. You see her cheeks are red, likely with embarrassment.
As Zaidel gains an iron key with a '3' on it, and a silver key with a moonstone in its pommel, also a bag of coins appears by his foot.
The caydenite examines the two different keys with interest. Then Zaidel notices the bag at his feet. The cleric opens it to find a bag full of gold coins. "YAHOO!" Zaidel shouts, clicking his hooves together.
Roland nods and brings out three plates of food piled high with a potato salad, a 10 oz. boar steak and three slices of texas toast. "Mia eats free, I am glad someone has helped her and hopefully you can get that curse lifted. Yeah you are more than welcome to use the bath."
She nods her head in agreement meaning she wants a bath and continues to nod her head at what you say. She gets up and walks over to give you a hug. You see her cheeks are red, likely with embarrassment.
"You're very welcome, Mia. And I shall seek a way to remove your curse. But, let's eat!" Zaidel smiles down at the food. "It looks amazing!"
Before eating, the caydenite cleric blesses the meal and gives thanks to Cayden Cailean.
"I gots me a pencil," Jon said in mild confusion. It felt more like a participation award more than a quest item, but a pencil was a pencil, even if it wasn't a very big pencil in his massive paw.
Looking over at Zaidel and Mia, Jon added, "I'm sorry to hear you have a curse, Mia." He wasn't sure if it was polite to ask about other people's random curses, so he avoided doing that for now. Either she'd tell him, or if she wasn't able someone else would.
Jean there are no sign posts in town.
Roland thinks to himself as most of his jobs have been accomplished for today. He offers, "If you bring me back a pig or boar alive, I will give you a silver per pound. There are odd end jobs that you could do here, but none that would get you much money, after all we are a small village."
”Northwest is probably the best boar hunting grounds but not the easiest, Northeast has less to hunt but safer.”
Davin starts backwards slightly when the hands grab the grate. "Oh, hello there! I'm guessing you're the 'wild card' Lord Wolfe told me about. Uh, what sort of fire? and how much?"
Reaching into his pocket, the young man pulls out his wallet, along with four dollar bills. "I get the feeling I'm not going to need these any more." And with that, he sets each one on fire.
"Here, add my piece, let's see if that helps." Drystan says, joining the others trying to puzzle out the map.
|
Jean shrugs and tries to put the map together before heading out to find some way of making money.
"Yeah...puzzles were never really my thing. I think I will go try and see if someone else needs some help." Jean then turns and heads out to try and earn some money to buy food or a room for the night. He will try and approach several towns people to see if one won't run and says, "Hello, I am a new Chosen. Is there anything I could help you with?"
Once out he pats himself down. You can see dirt and grime is packed to his clothes and body. He has a dagger and sheath on the right side of his belt and a pouch on the left side. There is a cloth sack hanging onto his belt too.
"Thank you! I appreciate the rescue more than you might think. For that I offer my services as a Warder. We both need better equipment but that will come later. I am Matthew Locke what is your name?"
Jean they don't flee from you as they saw you walk up to them and talk politely, though each of them is terrified and any quick movement might make them bolt. Luckily four of them talk to you enough so that you gain a quest from each of them:

Zaidel looks around at the other Chosen, while Jon, Mia, and himself eats a great dinner, and feels guilty.
"Roland, how much would it cost for 8 additional dinners and beds tonight?"
Roland eyes you a bit warily and states, "I don't have that many beds, I actually only have one more bed after the room I gave you and Mia." He points to his prices on a protected paper. He does the math in his head and fingers, then offers, "16 silver pieces for 8 dinners."
Beverages:
Ale - 2 cp
Mead - 1 sp
Fire Whiskey - 3 sp
Milk - 5 cp
Watered down wine - 3 cp
Fine wine - 8 sp
Rot Gut - 1 sp
Slab of pig meat - 1 sp
Cheese Stew - 5 cp
Bread - 1 cp
Blue Berry Muffin - 8 sp
Full Dinner (meat, potato, and bread) - 2 sp
Bed for the night - 5 sp.
It takes you a while but Jean you find apples to gather from the trees as you fly.
"Roland, I'll buy 8 full dinners and one night in the unused bedroom, please? If possible, can we have access to your stables for sleeping tonight?" Zaidel takes 3 gold coins from his bag. "With tip."
"Okay! Gathered Chosen!" The caydenite addressed the full tavern. "Call me Tony Stark, because I'm fronting these Avengers! All the 9 Chosen get a dinner! You can decide who gets the last bed!"
"Yes if there are no animals anyone can stay in the stables. Ah thank you my good friend Zaidel!" He gladly accepts and goes back to make up more dinner plates. Which Sam brings out to each of the Chosen one at a time.
Jacen will have done the basic exercises as a circuit, so as not to get bored ... running 5 miles without a treadmill though, tough. He will try.
As Jacen went out for his exercises he was able to pop up the blue screen with a thought and could see his progress. It would likely take at least a few hours. Once you are done you are overly sweaty and exhausted.
Davin's eyes go wide as Matthew melts the bars of the grate. "Jeebus heckin wow! That was *awesome!*." He says in pure awe of the badass display. He extends his hand for a shake. "My name is Davin Lintini, but you can call me Lucky, if you'd like. Well met." He says with his characteristic easy smile.
"Probably at the tavern, where you can also grab some food." He says, as his stomach rumbles. "I guess I'm hungry too! So, why were you buried and locked under that grate? Seems like a rather odd form of imprisonment." He asks as they make their way out of the pit, and towards the Pig's Roast.
When Jacen comes back ... the first thing he does is see who likes him sweaty ;) He can cast breeze on himself, he can cast presitigation like Zaidel, but hey, maybe there's appeal for a sweaty elf-like outsider, who knows.
"I pissed off a few gods, their Chosen died. There is little I could do, I have no healing and we ran out of potions. I was the hardiest of the pack with my Fire Regeneration. I also cursed them out when I got back alone. My previous God would not stand up against them." He relays as they walk to the tavern. Getting to the trough he looks at it then Davin and asks, "I don't have any wealth, you think Roland would mind?"
Outside of Roland's tavern a grime covered and mud cacked individual walks beside Davin and looks at the trough with interest.
