FYI that I'll be away in nature Saturday and Sunday, returning Sunday evening (US/Pacific time) to resume posting.

Shoot, how could I forget. Tedros would be supremely interested in aiding the animals.

Tedros perks up at the mention of the starving animals.

That must be our first priority. We can... relieve Vark and the other thugs' possessions afterwards.

mechanically is there much to freeing the animals?

Tedros would make an effort to get them away from the city.

Tedros would both visit his home village in the downtime and also spend time working as a guide for city-dwellers who wish to venture into the jungle.

Tedros frowns.

I take it that's not good... Maybe we can help you pay this brother a visit?

He pats Dejen on the top of the head.

Hello. This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature (on a river in Oregon) and not have reliable access to internet to post over this next weekend, which is a long weekend for a US Holiday.

That's from Friday evening (US/Pacific time), 5/22 through Monday 5/25. I get back pretty late so it's not very likely I can resume posting that evening. I will resume posting on Tuesday 5/26.

Please bot me as needed during that time.

Tedros would never pick up on the possibility, but me the player thinks we're just witnesses for her insurance claim :P

Well, if you haven't had possession of this place in some time it could have been extracted slowly. Tedros suggests.

Hello

Oh man, sorry to hear. I hope they figure it out for you quickly.

Perhaps she didn't lose it, but rather it was stolen. Tedros suggests.

Hope you're feeling much better. That sounds like a nightmare :(

Tedros nods.

It must be the guardian. On your guard!

He draws his scimitar.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 seems relevant to snakes, even if its metal :D

:sweats: It has been a little while in real world time (October '25) :) Reminder:

Looking at the exotic caged animals currently slowly settling down as the fires were contained, it would seem that the folks whom had taken the ship were storing what appeared to be a smuggling operation of rare animals.

A lot of those parots alone would go for 8 to 10 gold in the markets.
You discover a large trunk in the captains cabin that contains 100 platinum peices, the missing payment Lavinia paid to have her ship returned, and long with a signet ring with a peice of paper rolled up into it in a hidden compartment in the room.

it reads.

Chimera looks to sunrise,
Cyclops looks to sunset,
Medusa looks to sunrise,
Umberhulk looks to sunset
Basilisk looks to sunrise.

Tedros tries to match up the depictions of many-eyed creatures they're seeing now to the beasts in that riddle (and are they looking East vs. West as indicated?)

They all have different numbers of eyes?

He looks around at the party.

Do your gods have different numbers of eyes?

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Tedros thinks on whether he knows anything about the depicted creatures. His people have many stories about fantastical creatures and mythical beasts, even beyond the dinosaurs they share the land with.

Maybe he knows something beyond their names?

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Tedros looks about.

Is this the vault proper? Should we be attacked by a guardian at any point now?

Tedros hangs towards the back of the group as they descend below the castle. It's as different from his typical environs as he could imagine. When they get through the magical door, he certainly tests it to verify that it can be pushed open from the inside.

He strokes Dejen's head to comfort the creature.

Here!

You have a potion of Cure light wounds.... It tastes like a cranberry gingerale!

Thankee. He will try to only enjoy those tastes in the proper emergency.

1d8 ⇒ 1

Tedros looks down and absent-mindedly pets Dejen. He answers softly, and only briefly.

I come from one of the local tribes. I work as a guide for the townsfolk who wish to venture into the jungle.

What he doesn't say out loud is that he tends to lead clients far out of the way of his people and special locations, so as to protect them from civilized expansion.

Tedros looks around at the others who he suspects knows more.

This "guardian" does not sound very natural. Certainly not a beast of the wild. What of it?

Tedros shrugs and follows her, thinking he might ask about help with freeing the animals again soon once she isn't so distracted.

DC14 WIS: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

I suppose... as long as our jobs can always right wrongs. Speaking of which, we wanted to ask for your support in liberating smuggled animals from the ship we just recovered your ring from. Perhaps you have some pull with the local merchants and ship captains so that we can avoid retaliation.

Tedros nods reluctantly.

Yes, let us finish our business with the Lady. Maybe she will help us with the animals.

Here!

I have no intention to sell any of them. But they should not be locked up here.

He looks down, torn.

But I understand the lady trusted us. If we return with the ring, maybe she will see reason and allow us to free them?

He looks around at the more civilized members for confirmation, with just a hint of hope and optimism.

We should free these animals into the jungle! Tedros suggests.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

These bugs seem tougher than what I'm used to...

After hesitating, he leans in and slashes at it...

[standard] attack GREEN
scimitar attack (flanking), S damage: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

then looks to his dinosaur companion and lets out a barely audible, primal chirp that seems to signal that it's his turn.

Hello. This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature starting this coming Friday 10/17, returning Sunday 10/19 when I will catch up and resume posting.

As always my hope is that since this is a weekend the disruption will be minimal to none. Bot as necessary.

Tedros sprints down the stairs from the sterncastle and rushes towards the spider.

[move] 30ft (assuming downstairs is not difficult terrain)

He continues until he arrives next to his companions, encroaching on the creature.

[move] 30ft

If we aren't in rounds, Tedros will rinse-repeat on getting/applying water.

Tedros holds out his bucket for Nathrae to fill with her magic.

Very handy! he smiles at her.

Tedros looks around too.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

He's concerned that even if he finds one it won't be easy to constantly drop it off the side of the ship and pull it up to fill it.

Tedros' eyes light up as he slowly watches smoke rise over the deck of the ship, challenging the masts and crow's nest.

Is... the ship burning? We've got to put that out if we want any hope of finding an object so small as a ring!

He rushes towards the stairs down...

I'm guessing a new part of the map is in order, and perhaps some fire detail.

you’re right, I forgot after so long. Instead.

Tedros moves up the other staircase and circles around behind the pirate.

[double move]

FYI I will be away in nature and unable to post this coming weekend, Saturday 9/13-9/14. I will return and resume posting that Sunday evening (US/Pacific time).

Tedros jogs up alongside Jetsam.

[move] 25ft

Winds up, and swings his scimitar at a remaining pirate.

[standard] attack ORANGE

scimitar attack ORANGE, S damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Tedros eyes widen as he has instant worry about what that might mean. He rushes towards the hold to see if he can figure out what was just ordered.

What are you doing?!

We're not in rounds any more right?

What's being lighted up (Perception): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Knowledge (local), untrained (max DC10): 1d20 ⇒ 8

Bad guys up?

Tedros takes a loose, bobbing stance but keeps a tight grip on his scimitar. He eyes the pirate in front of him, catching his gaze to get a handle on when he could sneak in a slash. At the last moment he slashes at Dejen's pirate unless they're down.

[standard] Attack ORANGE (or else BLACK)

scimitar attack, S damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I doubt it, but IF ORANGE or BLACK is down, Tedros 5ft steps into their place to make room on the deck.

Tedros exhales, sighs and looks up at the ship.

So much for surprise...

[move] Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

as his feet land on the deck he draws his scimitar.

[move] draw weapon

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
lol terrible rolls

Does Dejen roll separately or go oh Tedros' initiative count?

Checking in!

2 boats. Going quietly.

Tried exactly as you said 3 times nada.

Okay, without know where it didn't work it's hard to say more. PM me with more specifics if you like.

Easiest method I find is, go to the character's tab of this campaign.

Right click your character image and click "copy image."

Then return to the slide and paste it (Ctrl-V on windows, Cmd-V on mac).

Then resize it / move it around as desired.
