Thanks for running it. It was fun.

I was waiting for a night's sleep so Ardain could memorize read magic. Then I forgot/the game wound up. I would definitely like to scribe those spells over.

If I was doing it, I would make a physical copy, then scan it, to post it on gooooogl. That's the way I know how. Sort of...

"We found more questions than answers, I'm afraid. The Verdant Spark's ultimate intentions are unclear. At least to me."
"Is the god Robori actually the Verdant Spark? The Verdant Spark may be the real power behind the myth of Robori."
"At any rate, the Verdant Spark is dangerous. It can cause disease, as Thornberry mentioned. Also, of greater concern is the power it seems to wield. It seems to have a child-like intellect, so the wrong stimulus could warp it into a force of great evil. It would be good if the Verdant Spark had a permanent team that could guide, study, and protect it. They would have to be able to resist the disease causing... Uh, radiance? Not really sure of the vector, but the effects are bad. Anyway, any team would need to be shielded from the effect."

Yeah, you can remove the PP. Thanks for running it.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
I'll spend a Prestige point to get the remove disease spell cast. Assuming my character doesn't die before he can find a healer...

Fortitude: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Well, that sucks.
Edit: Thornberry's +4 boosts that to 8. Still not enough, I would imagine.

"What will it take to 'awaken' this 'Verdant Spark'?" Ardain asks Thornberry. "I'm not necessarily saying we should. Sometimes the largest forest fire is started by a small spark. Let us be sure that we do not let that spark fan into flames. If an inferno is what we are truly unleashing here."
Ardain shrugs, his face bland. "Most of this area is wasteland. A spreading area of plant growth may very well be beneficial to the locals."
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"Do we have the skill to move it without hurting it?" Ardain wonders.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"Maybe it's Robori." Ardain speculates in response to Thornberry.

I'll have to do a read up on cloakers once this is done. I was thinking about color spraying it, but assumed it had too high of HD.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain slings his sword at the creature, trying to bring it down.
HotA: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Miss%: 1d100 ⇒ 23 Low is bad like everyone else.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain hurls his longsword at the cloaker, guiding it with arcane power.
HotA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Probably a miss though.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain draws his sword. Then he conjures a minute ball of sizzling acid, that darts toward the talkative monster.
Acid orb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Ranged touch. (Cloaker probably has soft cover)
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain will leave Gashi it the hopefully safe branches of the olive tree.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Which sucks. He would have made the roll with the familiar closer at hand.
Ardain looks around fascinated. This is why he joined the Society, really.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain ties his rope around the trunk of the olive tree. He tests the strength of the tree as well as his knot by looping the rope around hips and throwing his weight against it. Then he casts the coils of the rope down the hole, and begins his climb.
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Climb 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain looks around for something to tie his rope on to. Safety first.

"I have no problem with you coming along Nira." Ardain eyes the scroll, it contains a spell he would love to have in his spellbook, but he knows it's too intricate of a casting for him without more practice.

Scary. I'm not used to rolling so many good rolls in a row."
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain shrugs and follows along. Being outside after dark had seemed necessary all along. Now, if they could get the Sheriff's blessing... And their weapons back; that would be better.

"Is squash squashing a crime in this town?" Ardain quickly interposes himself between the Sheriff and unfortunate paladin. "I'm sure he will be happy to pay for any of the vegetables that were stomped."
The wizard can't help but smirk a little bit, but then the levity fades from his face.
"We don't leave well enough alone. Or, perhaps we do, once we know that well enough is indeed, well enough. On that vein, did you know that your sacred tree is dying of root rot? Some of my companions are very knowledgeable on such things. They assure me this is so."
Ardain pauses to see what the Sheriff has to say about that.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Our GM hates paladins, it's pretty clear.

"Interesting name... Roboria." Ardain squints at the girl. "A magical effect perhaps?" The wizard casts detect magic, focuses on the girl-plant to see if she is surrounded by magic auras. He spends a moment on the salve jar too.

Found this character's description in my opening post. He's definitely wearing black and blue.
I didn't remember what his familiar looked like.

"Hmm, what sort of troubles? Perhaps it's something myself, or one of my companions could help with."
Sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Alertness due to familiar being close.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain is actually a little surprised that someone answers.
"Ahem. Ah, my name is Ardain. I'm new in town, just got here last night. I'm looking for my friend Amenira. I'd like to talk to you about her. Can we come in?"

"Sheriff told us to put out the orange flag when we needed something."
Wisdom check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Ardain steps up to the door and raps sharply on the wood with his knuckles.
"Hello? Anybody home?"
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"Yeah, a cloaker." Ardain mutters absently. Apparently the townsfolk sewed their own clothes. "That's a good idea. The weaver. Let's see what the weaver has to say."

Was serious about looking for a tailor shop though. Is there one?
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
The Evil Chair put me in a quirky mood. Thus that post contains allusions to both an AC/DC song, and the Deadpool movie.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
Ardain notices people frowning at him. It's his old blue jeans, of course. He looks around for a tailor's shop. Today seems like a good day for brown pants.

"Some would, more would not." Ardain answers Corwyn. "More likely they are hiding something. We best be careful how we approach this."

My other wizard wears blue. Actually it's a fairly common color scheme in my characters.
My ranger and forestey types tend to wear greens and browns. My clerics wear the favored colors of their deity.
I like black, light grey, and dark grey in the clothing color scheme too.
Makes me wish I had made a description blurb for this character.
Ardain probably does have at least some blue clothing on. Black coat, pale grey shirt and dark blue trousers or something.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
I thought the sheriff said something of the kind, but I guess not. Don't know where I got that impression. :(
K, dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
"Your description sounds more like a cloaker than a vampire." Ardain tells the priestess. He doesn't sound too sure about it though. Ardain has never encountered either creature himself.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"The Sheriff says there can be no religions other than Robori." Ardain tells the priestess. Then he asks: "Why might that be? Most villages have room for several gods in their temples."
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"We haven't seen any evidence of vampires, best not to rely on the rumors of townsfolk."

Ardain had moved close enough to the tree to smell the dried hay oder, but the tree looks ordinary to him.
The wizard remembers that the food had been treated with magic to freshen it. He wonders if it has something to do with the rot that Jack and Thornberry are speaking of.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"Sorry, haven't really studied my horticulture." Ardain nods his head in agreement with Jack. "I think we should." visit Robori's shrine.

"We should tour the whole town. The cashew processing facility seems like a place to start."
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
That's tough. Hope everybody gets it sorted out soon. Especially Thornyberry. :)

"Do the children not care that it stinks here? Or is the odor a residue left behind by the children?" The wizard is aware that one's nose can grow accustomed to a smell. "Perhaps they are just used to it..."
Ardain looks at the skin-rind, or whatever it is that Jack has. Nature, healing or some area of knowledge that he hasn't studied on too closely.
"Might as well take a look for auras." The wizard casts detect magic and looks around the area to see if there is any magic residue about.
Male Human Wizard/1| AC 13 [17] T 13 FF 10 | HP 6/8 |Fort +1 Ref +2 Will +3 | Per +6 | Init +2 |HotA 5/6
"A doll, yes." Ardain tells Nira. "But not a toy. Not by any means." Then the wizard relates all he knows about soulbound dolls. Probably boring some of his companions in the process.
'You are unusual for a soulbound doll, Nira, you may have powers beyond what is normal for a creation of your type."
Ardain's expression grows very grave. "So now we are investigating a murder..."

Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Ardain's training in all things magical takes over; he quietly assesses the nature of the doll. He berates himself internally, as he does. The lack of the spell for reading magic is starting to be a problem.

"They must really hate the sky then..." Ardain finds the rules to be odd, at best, but he decides to take them seriously.
The wizard moves back a bit, then hunkers down on his heals so he can watch Jack's under bed activities.

Ardain frowns at the journal. He still has his wet-work spell selection memorized. It will take some rest, and study before he can learn what mysteries the spellbook holds.
That's odd. Someone packed up their gear and left in a rush. Left the spellbook and journal behind though. If it was me, I'd have left neither. My spellbook goes wherever I go."

"We do have that nice staff..."
Sheriff said we could keep any journey staves, so we should still have the masterwork quarter staff we found.

Upon hearing that the chair is evil, Ardain studies it with the aid of his detect magic spell. He studies it from a few feet away, rather than plopping down in it like the bird-man had done.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
"Amenira's place?" He suggests in the morning.
