"If separate locations make the most sense, then should we split up for now and each find places to plant a quarter of them?"


"Thank you," Popcorn says to Bottlespeaker. She sounds unusually subdued, shaken by the realization of how close she had come to death.

She goes along with Reaching Rings' suggestion and helps dig up the lilacs.


Popcorn is similarly desperate and frenzied. She continues to attack! She maintains just enough presence of mind, however, to step away after her second attack.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 = 14
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike*, Strike*, Step*
HP: 19/68


Popcorn follows Carl again, and again has just enough time for one attack.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Stride*, Stride*, Strike*
HP: 52/68


A part of Popcorn realizes she should probably be getting nervous after getting taking those hits from Carl, but she’s too angry to be properly anxious. Although Carl’s speed is giving her trouble, she manages to catch up with him for just long enough for a single attack.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (7, 10) + 4 = 21
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Stride*, Stride*, Strike*
HP: 43/68


Sorry. I guess I didn't realize just how fast he was.

Popcorn continues to move north.

Stride*


Popcorn attacks the jinkin restraining her.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (9, 2) + 4 = 15
damage (fire): 4 = 4

I'm assuming that's enough to kill it.

She then runs to catch up with Carl (who I believe is currently placed wrong on the map) and attacks him.

Strike: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (2, 10) + 4 = 16
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike*, Stride*, Strike*
HP: 68/68


Wait, you made two different posts for the enemy turns. Which one is what happened?


"Looks like you need some help over there, Rings!" Popcorn runs up to Carl and swings her flail at him twice.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (4, 8) + 4 = 16
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (9, 6) + 4 = 19
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Stride*, Strike*, Strike*


Popcorn draws her weapon. "Which one should we take out first? The jinkin on the left looks the weakest to me," she says, loudly enough for the jinkin on the left to hear.

Intimidation (Demoralize): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

She then activates her fiery aura again.

Interact, Demoralize, Rage


"Why don't you back off? We outnumber you, and we've defeated a group of four jinkins before."

Intimidation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25


Popcorn also looks for tracks.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25


Popcorn's fiery aura fades.

"Fluff Fang, do you want me to pull you up? Or do you want us to come down there?"


If she can move through the hole and her first attack takes out the fleeing jinkin, then she moves back to where she started by using her remaining action to Stride.


Popcorn moves to just west of the fleeing jinkin. This takes one Stride action assuming the hole is large enough for Popcorn to fit through easily; otherwise she goes around via the door, taking two Stride actions. She then attacks the fleeing jinkin (twice if she still has two actions left).

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (9, 5) + 4 = 18
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (5, 9) + 4 = 18
damage (fire): 4 = 4


Popcorn turns her flail to the remaining jinkins, prioritizing Velm (in the unlikely event that Velm is still alive), then whichever jinkin appears most injured.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7, 6) + 4 + 1 = 18
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Strike: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 9) + 4 + 1 = 16
damage (fire): 4 = 4
Strike: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 = 12
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 9) + 4 + 1 = 16
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike*, Strike*, Strike*
HP: 68/68, plus 4 temporary.


"We're fighting now? Great!"

Popcorn is surrounded by a fiery aura, enters the cabin (moving diagonally to avoid the trapdoor), and swings her flail at the green gremlin.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
damage (B): 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (8, 3) + 4 = 15
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Rage, Stride, Strike


Popcorn moves closer to the log cabin entrance. "Is it OK for me to draw my weapon yet?"


Popcorn feels like fighting the jinkins, but she restrains herself for now.


Popcorn joins Reaching Rings in speculation. "Could they be from the First World? Or the Elemental Plane of Wood? Or could they be..."

Recall Knowledge:
Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17


”Oh, it’s Stella the nyktera! She always knows what’s up. Let’s pay her a visit.”


Popcorn has traveled outside the forest, experimenting with new recipes and meeting other chefs. Her new friend Agna, a dwarven chef from Otari, has taught her the recipe for capsaicin tonic.


I have the level 4 sheets too.


Welcome!


I'm up for it, though maybe we should recruit a new player for Fluff Fang before we start.


”Let’s take them to safety first and talk later.”


If Honeysuckle is still standing, Popcorn attacks Honeysuckle. If not, or if her one of her attacks takes out Honeysuckle, she moves to north of Bamboo and (if she still has actions remaining) attacks Bamboo. (Note that this means she is flanking with Reaching Rings whichever opponent she attacks.)

Strike: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
damage (fire): 4 = 4

If Honeysuckle is still standing, she attacks a third time:

Strike: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
damage (fire): 4 = 4


After defeating Mint, Popcorn moves over to Honeysuckle.

Stride


The fiery aura surrounds Popcorn again, but this time only Popcorn herself can see it at first. Then Popcorn becomes visible again and swings her flail twice! She directs her attacks at the purple enemy to the west of her unless that one is already down, in which case she attacks the green enemy to the northeast instead.

Strike: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12 If the first attack took down purple, this gets an additional +1 due to sweep.
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Rage, Strike, Strike


Popcorn climbs down the fence into the garden and opens the gate.

That shouldn’t require a roll, since even if she falls it wouldn’t be far enough for fall damage, but just in case…

Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18


Feeling increasingly irritated, Popcorn tries again.

Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24


It’s fine.


Popcorn isn’t sure that drinking the mutagen is a good idea but, feeling impatient, drinks it anyway.

HP: 47/53

She then attempts to climb the hedge.

Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13


”I still think we should just climb up. I’m strong enough to carry one of you on my back without being encumbered.”

At least, I think I am; I don’t think there’s a specified Bulk for the jar of lemons or bottle of peppercorns.


"I assume Fluff Fang prefers to get in with disguises and invitations. But why not just climb over the hedge instead?"


Popcorn eats the goodberry. ”Thank you, but what about Fluff Fang’s remaining injuries?”


"Definitely! But we should finish healing up first."

HP: 36/53


If there are no written documents in the northern room, Popcorn looks in the southern room.


Popcorn calms down somewhat after the enemies are defeated. She tastes the vegetable stew. ”For an alchemist, Darius seems to have been surprisingly bad at cooking.”

She then opens the door to the northern adjoining room to search it for paperwork as suggested by Bottlespeaker.


I’m fine either way.


Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Popcorn is less bothered by the smell this time. She stays focused on attacking Darius.

Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage (fire): 4 = 4

She still feels angry, so she attacks again.

Strike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage (fire): 4 = 4

And again.

Strike: 1d20 ⇒ 14
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Strike x3

HP: 36/53


Popcorn moves to take advantage of the flanking opportunity provided by Fluff Fang, then attacks Darius twice.

First Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage (fire): 4 = 4

Second Strike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage (fire): 4 = 4


Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Popcorn dodges the worst of the hot wax, but still gets hit by enough of it to hurt. 8 damage

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
The smell of the homunculus is almost overwhelming; Popcorn's keen sense of smell works against her. Sickened 1

"Finally, it's time to crush them!" shouts Popcorn as she becomes surrounded by a fiery aura.
◈ Rage

She then retches, somewhat spoiling the moment.
◈ Retch
Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
No longer Sickened

Finally, she tries to give the blue homunculus a good whack with her war flail.
◈ Strike
Attack roll: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29
damage (B): 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
damage (fire): 4 = 4

HP: 45/53, but with 5 temporary HP


Thanks!


Thanks, but where are the enemies? I don't see the homunculi on the map.


Popcorn stands next to Reaching Rings, weapon already drawn.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

She isn't able to get a very good look through the door from her angle.


Wait, "three leshies"? I thought Reaching Rings was supposed to be controlling Fluff Fang too now. And part of the point of going upstairs in the first place was to get Fluff Fang.


We should go back down soon - all four of us this time. It’s been over ten minutes, which may or may not be long enough for the mutagen to wear off, but I don’t think we have much time to waste.


”I believe he’s actually human, but he seems to have drunk some kind of mutagen or something like that.”

Popcorn tries to estimate how long it will take Darius’s mutagen or potion to wear off. Crafting +8, +9 for food/drink/potions


Popcorn, wielding her flail like a cooking implement, attempts to scrape the hot wax off herself.

Persistent fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 18

She then eats a goodberry. Extinguished and back to full health
