I'm fairly impressed by this place. Isn't anyone else taken aback by the ingenuity of the gnomes? I mean, their life span has to be gaged into two buckets. One bucket showing the general lifespan gnomes could have and the other bucket showing the stunted lifespans they actually do have because of their inventions blowing up!

Nicholo is unable to find a release valve as Daehalya offers a small prayer and begins closing off valves in hopes that these water pipes don't burst wide open.

Daehalya is able to completely release the pressure enough that it won't injure anyone until it builds pressure up to max once more. (This takes about a week).

Trap disabled. This was another deadly one that if set off it goes into Initiative dealing 2d8 Piercing damage to a ranom target each round with three actions. Plus a reaction that if you move at all it sets off another reactionary attack for the same damage again.

"Thank you for your help, Findeladlara," Daehlaya says, "and for yours, Nicholo."

She looks around, and decides to choose the safer path to the south instead of the zipline. She can't be sure none of them would fall, and this place has proven to be dangerous, even beyond the Oakstewards.

Moving south, assuming no one objects. I'll be Searching as I go.

The amurrun stares at the window with a zip line while his tail flicks back and forth. Eventually, he says, "Onye Dinta suspects at least half of the tribe will plummet to the ground below and break many bones. Onye Dinta would land on his feet, of course, but it would be inefficient."

Yes! at LEAAST half. That thing looks crazy dangerous. I had some training on the high wire and tight rope - at the circus, but that thing there- its made by gnomes. The stuff at the circus was made by sane folk that wanted to live.

While it would be cool to zip into the middle of the enemy, Nicky is joining Daehayla over at the safer path.
I'm with you Daehalya

@GM - I have an arcana roll above to review the potion or potions (do we have two)?

Nicholo takes a look at the pair of potions. They seem very similar to each other. Dipping his pinkie in and trying a small bit on the tip of is tongue Nicholo identifies them as Minor Healing Potions! There is indeed 2 of them.

Daehlaya avoids the zipline and chooses the safer route across the bridge to the south towards the canopy porch. This open-air platform has no proper walls, only a screen of leafy branches on all sides and a dense roof of leaves. The floor is a chaotic parquet of mismatched boards carefully fitted to allow small living branches to fill the gaps between them. A staircase winds downward back towards the lower level.

Having been the victim of enough traps at this point every one of you notice that the second bridge's ropes are frayed on both sides. It will surely collapse, dumping you 50' below to the forest floor.

Ezgara grabs some of the nearby leafy vines and branches able to reinforce and secure the bridge making it safe enough to cross.

Heading over one at a time so as to not overburden the vines you cautiously approach a lab. This cozy library has been repurposed as a laboratory. Easy chairs are shoved against brimming bookshelves to make room for glass vessels, burners, and other distilling equipment. Stairs ascend five feet to a door to the north. Another door leads east. To the west, a wooden railing surrounds a hole in the floor, which can be descended via a wooden ladder.

Inside you find a dwarven oaksteward standing near the ladder waiting for you. "Did you know if is increadibly difficult to sedate a Unicorn. Given their near immunity to poison it took some time to get through." The dwarf frowns as he loses runs his fingers along a trio of acid flasks at his belt. "The key ingredient ended up being the venom from a tamed Dream Spider." He smiles as you turn around to see the body of a large spider slowly crawling down the wall beside you. "Bolan sais to wait for you."

To which Nicky replies And that should have been your first clue -- to NOT do it! How can a druid, embedded in nature, wrap their head around the need to de-horn a unicorn?! The fact that you needed to poison it should have been a klaxon call that *it is a bad idea!*

Nicky devises a strategy - one that says he needs to put himself in harms way to keep the spider from hurting the others. Since Onye is closer to the OakSteward, it's up to him to cut off the spider. He looks to cut the spider's string but in an arc that can also hit it's body.

Onye Dinta growls as the rebel druid taunts them and the spider descends.

You open the door to the north where Nicholo eats his own words about the gnomes. This large room is filled with small beds, wooden cabinets, and dressers, no two of them alike. Half a dozen Greenleaf gnomes lie bound and blindfolded on the beds as they whimper in fear when the door opens.

The gnomes seem to relax at this somewhat as their voices shake. "He was using us as test subjects to test unicorn poison on us!"

Nicholo looks at the gnomes piled in this room. He takes out a small knife and cuts off a piece of leather from his high hard boots. Taking the inch long piece, he holds it up.
While I didn't verbalize it, I feel I owe it to eat this nasty piece of leather. For I would have bet "eating my boots" that all these gnomes would not be here right now.
Might I give a bit of friendly advise to you gnomes? Simmer down on some of your inventions. Like the exploding stove. Like -- COME ON.

Nicky then moves over to the poison trap. He inspects it.
Any advise from you gnomes on where exactly to cut? Or, does anyone have suggestions on how to evaporate the liquid in this plant mister? Cutting the line or getting rid of the poison are two very viable solutions.

I'm looking at the mechanism and I think I should cut it at this spot. Between the hinge and where the line gets the most tension. NO matter what, all of you should back up a bit - get out of the danger zone.

seeking some advise from gnomes for either a magic ability or aid other to bypass the trap. If none available- contingent this roll.

"Onye Dinta suspects that the dangers we have encountered are a result of lack of maintenance since gnomes were captured or active malice from the rebels," the amurrun commends as he moves among the gnomes to free them and tend to what injuries need tending. "What can you tell us of the traitor druids and their force here?"

The gnomes all take several steps back. "Looks like as good a spot as any." Several shrug in agreement while two to three shake their head in disagreement. "Engineering comes with mistakes, but you learn from them. If something explodes just turn it down next time until it doesn't explode."

Nicholo closes his eyes and snaps the small strand as it falls limply to the floor without the mister going off in his face.

The gnomes smile. "See!" They get extremely excited as it works.

"As my friend asked," Daehalya says, "can you tell us anything more about Bolan and his druids, or even your home here? Anything that might help rid it of them?"

"Wish we could tell you more. We came out here to live peacefully several years ago. Then out of the blue these crazed Druids show up and begin violently taking over our home. We have been blindfolded, bound and drugged for days now. At least I think it has been days. It could have been weeks."

Man, Nicky does not understand the mind set of gnomes.

Gnomes wrote:

Um, NO. See, I clipped this line so it wouldn't explode. Specifically, when something explodes- someone or some thing generally dies. I'm not digging your scientific approach.

So, while my friends and I appreciate you all still being alive and here, maybe you'd best move your group to a safer part of the village. Hang back and wait for us to defeat the druids- giving you your home back to ...... burn to the ground in some invention accident in the future.

Nicky moves into position and asks Onye to take the front liner position so we can go through the door.
Onye, the door should be clear of the trap. You want to open it and let's see what is through the North door? After that, let's climb the eastern steps to confront Bolan and the remaining gnome-nappers and village pillagers.

The amurrun sheaths his flyssa blade at his side and reaches over his shoulder to draw a javelin. "Onye Dinta can open the door," he agrees.

While speaking with the gnomes a few of you go back and strip the alchemist's body of his equipment.

  • Leather armor
  • Oak leaf mask
  • Staff

    Scattered about the shelves of the makeshift poison lab are two doses of shiver, three vials of lesser antidote, and one dose of cytillesh oil.

    Onye opens the door to the north. This cozy chamber has large, glassless windows, several of which are unshuttered to look out over the rest of the complex. Furniture includes a four-foot-long bed, a small desk, and a variety of elegant built-in drawers and cabinets. Unceremoniously unfurled on the floor lies a rumpled human-sized bedroll.

    Bolan has taken this room for himself, directing his operations from its elegant (if slightly undersized) accommodations. Keeping him company is his sunflower leshy friend, Sunward. Bolan's injuries all seem to have been treated and healed. "I am a bit surprised you followed me this far." He still seems to grunt in pain a little. "Though it has given me a bit more time to prepare. I came out here to rid myself of the people like you that took away my only friends, the fey." His arms extend out like plant-like vines.

    Odioki tries to recall much on the leshy but can't manage much in the middle of fending for his life. Fail so personal antithesis. Odioki raises his handcannon and misses and it rockets into the room, putting a decent sized hole into the wall.

    "Sacrifice, is that what we are calling murder these days?" Bolan begins to make his crazed point. "This right here is why the curse must be renewed." Daehalya's staff catches him in the chin, knocking a tooth out.

    Nicky takes a face full of seeds. He spits them out, not liking the taste. those needed some salt.

    Sheesh. Bolan, you yourself call it a curse. You know in the back of your mind that what you are trying to do is inherently *bad*. While you miss your Fey friends, nature is all about change. The changing of the seasons. The changing of terrain. Over time, mountains become eroded to plains. Rivers gouge out valleys. Why are you trying to return Winter now that Spring has come?
    You are wrong in this, and you are taking innocents down the wrong path with you.

    Nicky advances toward Sunward, looking to stick together as a group like Onye said.
