This is a weed. It does not belong here. Hence I am eradicating it.

And have you not heard of this .... Sifkesh? And their magic food? It tasted horrible.

Jim starts digging all the flayleaf out.

Should we remove this then?

So ... is there anything we can do about this ... fake stuff?

K(Religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
K(Planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Jim had been going through the books, pausing at those to do with Engineering of the Planes, especially the Elemental Plane of Air. He looks over to Sakura in agreement. And then there are some groups in whom the leaders would wish to keep knowledge away from their people in order to more easily control them. But, I'd say it's not the knowledge that is dangerous, it's what people decide to do with it

Fair enough. Divide and conquer?

Jim also has another go
SoH: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

... with no luck.

Jim gives it a go while reciting the mantra.
SoH: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Jim writes the mantra down and waits his turn to try spinning the three spheres.

Jim tries to remember what he knows of Korada
k(religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

No no ... I'm fine now .... just a bit of an upset tummy that's all.

Jim whispers to Sakura. Tastes like sawdust. Had to come up with an excuse

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

I am SO sorry. he groans. I had no idea I was allergic to this.

Jim doesn't have any reason to refuse so he sits down and attempts to pick up a food item. Assuming that succeeds, he takes a bite once the others have done their prayers etc, thinking that the hosts should partake first.

I'm a little confused here ma'am. No disrespect to you but .... I cannot seem to see any food. Am I looking in the right place?

He starts circling the table.

Jim is trying to find out where the noise is coming from and moves in that direction.

Well, didn't they build a new one and gifted this one for the Tapestry ma-am? At least I'm sure that's what someone said.

But yeah, better be cautious, something else may have moved in.

He draws his pistol to give Kihel and Sakura covering fire.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Can't see any reason why not ma'am Jim replies.

How do we do that sir? Some sort of ritual? Or do we just place a finger on the bit of the Tapestry we want to enter?

k(religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

At least we're not the Aspis. They would use it for neferious purpose says Jim with a bit of a drawl. Mebbe they bailed before their temple got sucked into the Tapestry. I guess we're gonna find out

Jim looks like an elf at first glance, but a second one reveals he's actually a sylph. He's also obviously a gunslinger wearing leather as he's packing a pistol in a holster on one hip and a musket slug over his back. A gladius rests on the other hip.

Jim also learned Know(Religion) to know more about undead in general and vampires specifically.

Well ... at least it wasn't sparkly.

And yes, got mine - didn't end up in the Spam folder this time.

Grelthe wins the swimming challenge, prompting Jim to practice more. Also, for some reason, he's learning Sylvan as well as Aquan.

As for the burial ceremony, it was obvious that he was making it up as he went.

Yes - Jim levels up after this

After reporting and writing his report, Jim takes the body of the pixie to a sunlit woodland grove that had flowers in it. Here, he reverently buries the body.

I'm sorry I had to kill you .. but ... anyway, I hope you find peace here - and I hope this is a much better place for you to be than some damp and dark dungeon.

After covering up the body, he plants a daffodil bulb over the body.

Fly free little one he whispers as he sprinkles water on top before leaving.

Later on, he asks Greithe if she would like to go on a date, involving a picnic and swimming - and, of course, he acts as the perfect gentleman.

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Thank you for GMing.

Jim steps around Rogarch to get a clearer shot and fires
standard bullet: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He then looks over to Shamus. Maybe you should get one of these

Jim switches to a standard bullet and attempts to Head Shot the Not Rot, after taking a five foot step away from it.

silver bullet: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If Jim helps Grethe to carry it out ... would that help?

Jim shoots another silver bullet at the vampire hoping it will stay down.
silver bullet: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Jim has a gun so, unless he can pistol-whip as an AOO, he doesn't get one.

Jim dodges the longsword while loading a silver blanched bullet. He then fires at the vampire.

bang: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

If Greithe's boost is up, add +1 to both

Actually - yes I do. I was saving them for werewolves and other lycanthropes

Drat ... anyone knows what this thing is susceptible to?

That should have been six points of damage - forgot Greithe's bonus

*moves past Agirran and takes a shot at the vampire with a standard bullet*

bang: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Jim follows her in.

Jim dashes back to join the others. Right ... I guess that far room ((3)) will have to wait a bit then.

Meanwhile, Jim has a quick peek into Room 4 before catching up with the others.

Jim just ignores Agirran's comment.

Dungeon Fever? Is it contagious?

Thanks Jim says after the last stirge is defeated. Bed rest huh. Yeah ... I suppose I can put up with that ... as long as there are pretty nurses about

He heads off, cautiously, to check out the next room.

I presume Jim still takes the -2 CON damage which equates to 4 hit points?

*Ping* *Ping* *Ping* as the bullet ricochets around the room before falling down, out of energy.

Sorry

He puts the gun away and brings forth a dagger.

Been preparing and running 7-11 Ancient's Anguish online today

Jim has one attached to him with the other flying nearby. So he shoots the flying one.
Bang v Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 bullet: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Jim isn't wasting blanched bullets on this. He draws his weapon and swaps out the Ghost Touch bullet for a regular one.

He also takes a 5ft step back while doing this.

That was ..... extremely impressive Jim says as he holsters his gun.

He then moves towards the next room in line.

Yes. Jim's proposed path from there is the third 10, then check out 4 before going back up to 11

A door .... I can believe that ... did you ever hear about the giant one disguised as a gazebo?

I guess .... sometimes .... a backpack is a backpack Jim comments as it is opened.

He then moves on to check out the neighbouring room

Awwww . the poor kitty Jim replies.

He then looks down at the backpack

Should I put a bullet through it to ensure it's not a mimic?
