"Isn't that easily rectified, however? One need only store the salt they steal in a standard burlap sack, which they would, quite naturally, throw over their shoulder before running off with it."

Tvashtri blinks. "That said, no, we are not in fact here to steal salt."


Is the mine in danger? Has it become full of monsters? Did someone dig too deep? Because we are kind of on a mission already...


"Who would have thought of a salt mine in the middle of a swamp... I don't entirely trust him." Alick states plainly, the crystals floating away slightly, remaining vigilant to this new comer.


"Well I have salt, We can trade stuff for it, if your going to a swamp on a mission you need salt in case of giant slugs...."


"Can I eat him?" he looks around at the party members "He is not important right? After all he is a Kender."


"I think he's daff. We're already in the swamp! Nasty, don't eat him. We don't want his inability to recognize terrain types spreading to you by accident."

Sovereign Court

What the...a salty kender, should'nt you be in Krynn?


"You mean I'm not? Wow! This is exciting, there was this machine and it can send people in time, then there was a lot of smoke and fire and a big bucket of water and I woke up here."

Takes a map out of his pack.

"I was sure this was the Gully dwarf salt mine, see look closely at my map..., but if this isn't Krynn then my map is no good."

"I will trade you two pounds of coarse salt for a map of here?"
a statement that became a question at the last second...


"Right.... So, if you head south you'll find the city of Drivendale. If you head north, east, or west you'll probably find a grisly death and possibly service as an undead til we come along and put you out of your misery. South might also lead to a grisly death, but only if you wander into oozetown unprepared. There's the third option of sticking with us, but that might also lead to a grisly death. But at least it'd be an honorable death. Though your funeral rights might come down to being a snack for Nasty."


Nasty can have him. Last time I ate a kender, it gave me the runs.


@ AMH
"That was probably a gully dwarf....did it taste sweet or salty?"

@ Alick
"Thanks for the information, but I wanted a map."

In General
"It sounds like me joining you and walking is just a way for nasty-bigness to get out of carrying his own food!"

Perception check

Spoiler:
Yes I changed aliases, but this one is the one I should have been using, if you didn't notice, oh well

Sovereign Court

I will be incommunicado til Monday, but you kids have fun and and remember trust your instincts they're still there.


AAAHHH! What are we going to do without leadership?

Sovereign Court

Find Alissa, she will fix you right up

Sovereign Court

Looks like my plans got cancelled.


Who would dare cancel plans with J.R.R. Tolkien?

You should hang out with Glen Cook instead.

Sovereign Court

With the size of this group, it already is the black company


Aha! Well read you are. I wanna be Goblin! Pre-Kina possession of course.

"We don't have any maps. The last map we had got eaten by an Otyugh. So your choices are follow our directions or join with us. Speaking of which, did anyone bother to tell the Otyugh we were leaving? Or is it still acting as the taverns garbage disposal?"


*is staring around itself unhappily at the empty alley*

*lets out a long, slow burp that echoes against the walls*

WHERE THOSE PEOPLE? THEY FIND GLOFFY. BUT ALSO EAT GLOFFY. MAYBE NO GLOFFY FOR GURG... BUT GURG ALREADY EAT ALL HERE.

*sets off in the direction his noses tell him to go*


I'd say it's ears must have been burning, bit I don't think it has those... It's tentacles were burning? Sounds like an std. That's what it gets for hanging around schoolgirls.


"You have to have maps, you will get lost! I guess I have to go, to make the map."

"What's an Otyugh?.....like a dragon?"

"The thing was called the anvil of time where the time bridge was originally forged. Then it exploded."


"An otyugh is nothing like a dragon. An otyugh is a large blob with a mouth standing on three legs with three tentacles. On of the tentacles has eyes. The other two have sharp claws and suckers. They feed off of garbage and carrion. And maps are for amateurs that don't know where they're going."

Sovereign Court

Ok so after much excitement and weirdness. The rest of the night passes without any silly random monster encounters. You all awaken to a glorious foggy morning in the soggy swamp. It looks to be about 3 days travel until you reach "The Sharp Peaked Hill"


*Takes the lead (of course).*

Survival: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23


Survival: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40


"Let me help..."

Applies helpful trait to give Ranger a +4 bonus to the above roll....


"So are you sticking with us then?", Alick says, sending his crystals out ahead as scouts.


"Apparently he is. We probably shouldn't eat him then. Who knows what role someone like him could play in a war against BOORAUN, but he deserves the chance to lay his life on the line like the rest of us."


Nasty doesn't eat potential party members any more.


It's only the toilet that eats party members, right?

Wow with survival checks like that your feet/paws/slime barely get wet. You have made it to the base of the sharp peaked hill that believes it is a mountain just as the sun is setting.

Beyond these jagged peaks lies...BOORDOR.

I got 5 letters into typing the word boordor and my phone recognized the word. Thats awesome


"Well I'm glad I'm not tasty, I could have told you that from biting myself on at least four occasions...."

"Boordor doesn't sound very exciting."

"....Although I could give some nasty disease, that I didn't give myself..."

If you type something enough times, it is added to your personal spell check.


"Yeah Alissa told me I can't eat party members so I always her first if they are in the party and if I can eat them or not."

Looking at Alissa. "So I can't eat him right?"


"Not yet. He could be a spy or something. I would suggest someone check his alignment, but I don't think that matters much with this part. Half the party wants to stop Boron from taking over the world because they want to take it over eventually, one party member wants to stop him because he wants to eat the world eventually, and the rest of us just happen to like living on this mudball."


You lost me after "Not yet. He could be a spy or something."


"Yes of course the spy who doesn't know where he is or how he got here...what's alignment, does it hurt to check it?"


"Nasty is Chaotic Hungry."


"Oh woe is me, I'm lost and only have salt to my name for trading. Not the most clever spy ruse ever, but dumb enough to work. And it'd only hurt if we had a paladin with us. Uptight jerks they are."


"What's a paladin?....like a dragon....or an Otyugh?"

Upon waking in the morning, you see a cave about a hundred feet up the mountain. It looks reminiscent of a dead gnolls eyesocket.


"Do our directions say anything about caves? If not, I say we skip it. Ain't got time for side quests when we're saving the world." Said no rpg maker ever


"Alick, we need to explore the Sharp Peaked Hill... because... ummm... reasons. I think it has to do with a kingdom of oozefolk. Some big battle or something. Plus it's a hidden way into... BOORDOR."


Alissa is Pouty Neutral.

AM HEALER is Smashy Evil

"Okay Jenny want me to check for traps and smash some doors?" He starts walking towards the nearest hill even if it is not the right one.

"We find your lost ooze kingdom Jenny don't worry."

Looking at Alick. "Some of the Jellies are very tasty. I like jelly and Jenny."


*YAAAWWWWNNN*

Sovereign Court

Indeed Jenny this is the sekrit way into...BOORDOR!, I'm sure none of you would want to attempt to breach the black gates of....BOORDOR!


"So it is in our directions. Off into the cave we go then. Hi ho hi ho."Alick is ADHD Neutral
