Roots-Sink-Deep's page

Reaching down deep into the River of Souls, the Elk Father drew forth a wayward soul, dripping with courage, wisdom and pluckiness!

The Root Leshy's blue eyes manifest a single drop of a tear, which obediently hoovers suspended upon his bark-like cheek. The 3' tall Root leshy stretches his vine-like arms upward over his head.
Feeling the duty laid upon me, I did what any nature spirit would do when called upon by Erastil. I reached upwards to grab hold of His hand and...

The excited (slightly dramatic) leshy begins to shake violently. The shiny bark of his body suddenly sprouts a coat of brambly thorns!
I am born into this world as Roots-Sink-Deep!

The proud root leshy stands still, keeping his pose for a full minute, before turning his blue eyes to his audience.

Seeing that the three caterpillars' attention has since shifted to whatever keeps a caterpillar's attention, Roots-Sink-Deep smiles.
Practice, practice, practice!

Stretching his vine-like arms out to either side, the Root leshy encompasses the whole of the terrain around them. Still addressing the now attentive-looking caterpillars, Roots-Sink-Deep continues his soliloquy.
The north is mostly rugged hills that are unsuitable for agriculture. South of the massive Gronzi Forest, the Rostland Plains are rolling fertile grassland and are the breadbasket of the entire nation. This is my hunting grounds! Erastil charged me with protecting this realm from my birth!

The Druid's blue eyes roam ever-watchful out over the farms and orchards that encompass this part of lower Bevoy. His longbow leaning on a tree within his reach.
Restov has been my home for ever!

The Root leshy stops speaking, his lips still moving, as he ticks off on his fingers a few times.
Or like 2 months. Something like that!

Stepping lightly from behind the grandstanding leshy, Marianne giggles.
And a most promising 2 months it has been, but Erastil has a mission for you, Roots-Sink-Deep.

The Hunter for Erastil turns to look upon the dryad. The leshy bows respectfully.
As He wills it! Where am I to go?

The dryad smiles.
Ever hear the story of the Tanglebriar?

Centuries ago, the elven witch Silisifex played an important
role in the fight against Treerazer. With her deep knowledge,
power over primal magic, and abiding faith in Calistria,
she was one of the first elves to directly fight against
the encroaching fiendish blight that was Tanglebriar. Her
discoveries, teachings, and lore have continued to protect
and inspire elves to this very day, centuries after she
vanished mysteriously on a mission into Tanglebriar back
in 3050 ar.
Whether you’re a primal spellcaster or merely someone
whose life was impacted by Tanglebriar’s blight, Silisifex’s
discoveries and methods for combating the demonic
corruption of nature has benefited you significantly over
the course of your life and may even have saved you from
being corrupted yourself. Alternately, you could have had
close friends or family members who became corrupted
only to have been restored before that corruption could
become permanent. Many have succumbed to the influence
of Tanglebriar over the ages, but you count yourself as one
of the survivors of this corruption. Using your hard-earned
experience to help others survive their encounter with the
blight has, in part, defined your role in Kyonin or abroad.
Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Constitution or You’re trained in the Nature skill and the Fungus Lore
skill. You gain the Natural Medicine skill feat. In addition,
once you’re 4th level, you gain the ability to cast cleanse
affliction as an innate primal spell once per day. This spell
automatically heightens to a rank equal to half your level,
rounded up. If you’re cleansing an affliction with the fungus
trait, you gain a +4 status bonus to your counteract check.
