"We really don't want to hurt you." Cherry tries to placate. "And if you are willing to consist peacefully with the surface we really don't have a problem with you staying here."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Cherry subtly makes a correction to Kvit's correction.

Cherry sighs. ”Regardless of directness or not, we do need to occasionally stop and ask questions. Maybe if we find out what the plans are we can stop them more effectively.”. Cherry point to the injuries, ”Or maybe with less damage to ourselves.”

”Also, while I do have spells left, I am very short of heals.”

"I wanted to know what it thought about the answer." Cherry fuses.

◆◆Heal on Lough: 4d10 + 32 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 1) + 32 = 47

◆Guidance on Kka

Sorry, this last week has been a rolling series of disasters an 'do this now' priorities.

"I can remove the curse tomorrow Lough," Cherry says. "It is within my abilities, I am just not prepared with spells right now."

Sorry for the sort and wonderful post, I just wanted to post something so you could know I was still alive.

The next two weeks are silly busy for me at work, so I am having trouble getting the 'me' screen time long enough to post anything.

"Lough," Cherry sighs. "It's dangerous and deceptive, and probably not really a ruby anyway. It might just be the blood of some Leng beast or whatever."

Cherry steps into the room to get close enough and gestures to release a holy aura of to aid the party.

"Do well everyone!

◆Step
◆◆Bless

Cherry Berry reacts much more strongly to the void room than Kka does. As not only a healing cleric, but as a druid and a plant the lightless room hits them very hard.

"I don't suppose either of you have any paint on you do you? I don't care about the color. I never want to enter that room again; and I would prefer to make it safer for someone in the future."

That chakram would be pretty neat if it didn't take so much to wield it properly.

I agreem four is okay for now, Cherry will just have to pull out some more offense.

Cherry is frowning very hard, but since lying is anathema to them, they will keep their mouth firmly shut.

Cherry's cherry personality comes out in all their posts and is certainly a light in the darkness of AV. I enjoy everyone's contributions even if Kvit doesn't have anything to say about it or add to it.

For Kvit's RP, I feel I have the semi-grumpy old man vibe down. But I don't have a good plan for any character arc. I'm not really sure what direction to take him. I feel humbled or insecure (not sure what word I'm going for here), posting against the bar you others have set and it's easier to just make a quick post then trying to shine.

I feel very similar in many ways. Cherry is more or less on this adventure to support the town, their god is one of the ones that doesn't generally have a lot of adventurers.

Abandoning the town would be worse though, so Cherry is in it until the town is safe, at which point they will probably 'retire' from adventuring.

I don't really have much of a character arc for them at all, Cherry is a reluctant everyman at best.

(Of course there is some silinies in Cherry's attitudes. They detest undead in general, but remember Leshy are immortals themselves, so the specter of death doesn't really hang over Cherry like it would most mortals.)

Cherry stays outside of the sauna unless they have to go in. 'I don't want to be a steamed vegtable.'

Cherry continues the bless, expanding its area.

Then they rush forward to be behind Lough, which they tap in the back with a quick casting of Guidance. "Go gettum Lough!"

♦Sustain Bless

Maybe they went back to the bar for a drink after the "meat tree" incident

Honestly, Cherry could probably use a drink after that.

Cherry brightens at the mention of community. "Oh yes, I would never disrupt a peaceful community. Could you tell me a little about your lives here?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

"Oh, it looks like people are in trouble up there."

Cherry gestures with their staff and a field of flowers spring up around Lough and Fuin.

◆◆Soothing Blossoms in short, all creatures inside the effect get a crit-success when they save against poison.

◆Shield

"Really, far too many little rooms like this in this tower. I know its owner wasn't a nicer person, but could we have spreading good forces for once?"

Cherry is more than willing to help give the necessary therapy. In fact, Cherry has an idea as well.

"I need to go visit the Grove to Erastile outside of town." Cherry says, "I think I can get some help with resisting that creature. But we need to tell her parents something, and maybe ask if they have any ideas why the Leng thing wants her. Also, I volunteer to stay with the girl tonight."

This sounds like an excellent time for Cherry to go get their familiar. If needed I can bump things around to make Sinkwa Independent so they can stay on as a full time familiar for a bit.

And now it is my turn to post about being spotty lately.

This weekend was my Mother's birthday, our first without Dad, and I had a hard bout of depression while thinking about our cats, who are rapidly approaching the end of their lives.

Welp, I'm taking the dive. At level 6 Cherry is picking-up a familiar. More specifically, it is time to add tiny Leshy familiar.

I could use some suggestions on Type and name through, (the types doesn't really mean anything, but can be used to set appearance.)

I am also presuming I need to take the Archetype feat in Druid instead of in Familiar Master, because Leshey Familiars are normally exclusive to them.

To be honest at this point, the Druid Archetype is more flavor for Cherry Berry than anything else. I've never remembered the reach feat to use it (and I could have used it last fight), and I don't cast the spells anymore .

Poor poor Emoubu, honestly, this has been his lot from the very beginning, he always appears to be the low-level frontliner.

"So many hidden doors in this place."

Cherry spend a few minutes speaking about religion and the role it plays in controlling dangerous artifacts.

Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

"..And of course we know how important this artifact is to the town's history as well.." Cherry continues.

Otari Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

"...And my own people know a lot about this sort of thing as well seeing as how we came about..."

Leshy Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Just rolling it for the heck of it, how often do you get to roll something like Leshy Lore.

"I like this place less and less the more we explore it." Cherry comments.

Will Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

"Are you sure?" Cherry asks. "Lightning would probably hurt less than my other spells."

Cherry throws more lightning at Blue and Red.

◆ Expand Bless
◆◆ Electric Arc Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9 -- DC 19 Reflex, Electric Damage

Think we might need a little DM poke to get us moving again.

"It's a matter of the ones who don't really have a home." Cherry explains. "The ones that breeze in and out while leaving trouble behind them."

Cherry looks distressed. "I mean, I know what we are doing is different, but a plant worries you know?"

The goal was to stop the bleeding, so I needed the extra healing.

"Losing sap is a serious problem." Cheery says to Kka, "Happy to help."

I always find the loot drops in Society games a little awkward when it comes to verisimilitude: she's giving us an item worth 3600 credits for cleaning some shelves and Ikea-assembly! (and as an unasked for bonus beyond what we negotiated with her looking up the info). Either business is booming or this store won't be open for long :)

One of my other characters ran into so basically snatch-and-grab group of robbers stealing some shopping bags, and using hundreds of credits of flashbangs to 'distract' the people they were stealing from.

"Thank you, but I am not...who am I kidding? Gimmie."

Unless anyone actually stops him Lohco will eat one of the cookies whole.

Perception for last encounter: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

"Hey look, a journal." All'ock pulls out the small book and quickly hands it off.

////////////

Survival for tracks: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

All'ock sighs as others point out of the tracks. "I suspect we are going to have to Eddie, as somebody needs to know what kind of beast it is."

"The tasty, tasty mud." Cherry pipes in.

Also done!

I'm dotted, and discovered that HeroLab is temporarily free up to Secrets of Magic...

So I did the double check, and Goldirox's AC is 20, and his attack accuracy went up too.

I am finally updated to be level 4.

I would be interested as well.

"Kka, a little more warning before you start a fight please!" Cherry calls out as lightning dances on their fronds.

Action 1&2 (◆◆): Electric Arc, Yellow & Green: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10
-- DC 19 Basic Reflex to avoid. Electric Damage

Action 3(◆): Identify Religion +9 Secret Roll. Specifically the Overseer if I had to chose.

Cherry rubs their chin. "It might be the lack of sunlight. Sunlight is good for everyone after all."

Cherry pauses. "Except vampires. Vampires don't like sunlight."

Thank you for running Blake.

And of course I am reporting that I was out yesterday having a little mental health issue. I spent most of yesterday sleep and feel a bit better.

Calling on his ancestral spirits once again, Griss runs forward and smashes the largest dinosaur.

◆War Flail: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34Damage: Bludgeoning+Negative: 2d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10, 9) + 4 + 3 = 26

As a level 5 Barbarian, I have the critical hit effects from my weapon while I am raging. That hit knocks the Stegosaurus prone.

Yes, stay safe Blake. We'll see you later!

Good news in my family too.

Grandma G., my last living grandparent, fell on Sunday.

She didn't suffer any serious injury and they are discharging her from the hospital today!

Hope everyone is safe with the sky dropping out of the east coast of the US.

We got a lot of ice here, but kept the lights on.

Roaring in pain from his numerous bites, Griss glares at the bear before striking at it it twice in rapid succession.

Intimidation(Demoralize): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Intimidating Glare lets me demoralize without language. Raging Intimidation lets me intimidate while raging. Demoralize doesn't have the attack trait.

War Fail: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28Damage:Bludgeoning+Positive: 2d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 + 3 = 11

Nice to meet you Seelah. Surprisingly, I don't think Griss has ever meet her.

Cherry moves closer and casts the Light spell on their holy symbol, a small wooden arrow.

"I hope this is enough."

◆ Stride 15ft

◆◆Cast Spell: Light

I have a starter character profile:

Meet, Cherry Berry

I still need to do all the status bars, but I am never sure how DMs want those.

"Marshal Emoubu would like to join. Marshal Emoubu is a level 3 Buckler of Swashes."

As stated, I actually have both systems. I could SWADE or Rifts Original.
