¶ Intro / Opening
Decided to go on a random adventure within the town limits for some reason last week that i can't remember um and you found a grove while foraging, does anyone remember why you were out there no i don't even remember to prepare for winter.
¶ Random Adventure Begins
Berries Yeah Perries for pie Pies and preserves I'm on the rice rack now For us to go Where we needed to go Yeah Because you have lots of eggs now. Berries Yeah too many eggs It's the last thing I've written down After you guys left the grove Was you head back towards Fauna's house Laura Laura, head back towards town. Fauna asks about going to the tavern, doing something. You guys went to the tavern, had pies. Then you went to Flora's house.
Fauna and Meriwether took their pies home. Laura brings a pie to her parents. You ask your parents, or your parents asked if you were okay. Fauna tells her parents about adventuring and they just assume you were daydreaming that you weren't actually adventuring and that these things probably didn't happen. And then Meriwether went home and put a pie on the table because your parents weren't around. You took a piece of pie and then you wouldn't play piano into the night,
I guess. So that's what I am. Yeah, I really didn't take too many notes. Did I miss you saying we did ask Eggs and Furt if the dragon could move in? No, I forgot that part. That was before the origin. You guys went to Furt and Egg eggs and asked if the dragon could move in and the agreement was nine eggs a week now.
I can't catch if you may have said this too we made a list of all the things that we need to do, yeah which wasn't much what was on that list, I have that we needed to visit eggs and hurt which we ended up doing we need to go back to tell currently he can move in and I also have written down respira out on that list, which I guess was just to see what other tasks she has for us.
Gotcha. Yep. So, if you guys aren't doing anything else in this night, since you're all back in a home, then we can assume you went to bed and woke up. Do I have to wake up? Yeah. I mean, technically, you don't really sleep. You just meditate. So, yeah, you can wake up. Because you're always awake. Kind of a benefit of being an elf. Yep. So, what do you guys do the next day? Bye-bye. It usually starts off with Marriweather or Fauna, since I think you two live pretty close together.
Yeah. I mean, chores, feed horses, take horses out, take care of them, go for a ride. And then we usually end up at Flora's house. Yeah, we do end up eating there pretty often. Okay. So you guys do chores, and then I guess head over towards Flora's house. Flora, what are you doing?
Morning chores. this time I'm only going to produce as many eggs as I actually need I don't need the nine eggs because it's not time to give them yet Helene needs 25 so I will produce 25 eggs, and I'll get an extra like three for myself for breakfast okay, and then I guess by this time you guys would be arriving at Flores. Whoopsie Sounds reasonable. I don't know how much you want to have a deal. I don't know. I'm trying to find out things. Well, then ask me. Don't snap at me.
I mean, by now, I'm probably done collecting eggs. Mm-hmm. So, since I got myself a couple extras, I'll be cooking up a few eggs for myself. Okay. You're cooking up some eggs for yourself in the kitchen. Mm-hmm. Fauna. I almost said Fauna. Fauna and Meriwether, what do you do as you approach the house when you don't see her outside? We're here! Where are you? Meriwether starts entering your home and Fauna is yelling outside. I will roll my eyes, poke my head out the window and go, I'm inside.
Oh, there you are. Coming in. I assume you enter. I said I was going inside. So you two friends have arrived and entered your home. I'm sure I still have leftover pastries from yesterday. I assume Fauna is just going to help herself like she normally does. That probably sounds about right. I'll stop dishing for everyone. I was going to say announces herself coming to your home, but just digs into the pastries.
I will at least get like little plates and napkins, you know, so that way crumbs aren't going everywhere. I appreciate that. I'll finish making my breakfast. Ask them if they want one of these eggs. I've made three. Yeah, if you have extra, sure. All right, I'll give them each an egg and then we'll supplement our plates with pastries. Who's that the cow? Oh, Dave, are your pastry, are your plates normal person-sized or gnome size? Is there a difference?
How much smaller is a gnome? I think a gnome is around 40 pounds to the size of a topware. Okay, so dinner plates are like this big, technically. Even I don't use dinner plates. So I don't think Flora uses dinner plates. She probably uses The like Not saucer But medium sized plates Salad plates Like Salad plates I don't know if they're salad plates I mean she doesn't put salad on them No rabbit food.
She's an eggitarian I'm kidding But Flora doesn't eat salad I mean She'll eat, Vegetables Sometimes But A salad is just a vegetable medley. She mixes it with other stuff, like eggs. Yeah. A cop salad typically mixes with egg. She doesn't like hard-boiled egg. Yeah, it's even that way. Weird. Anyway. I guess discuss what you're doing today. Well, we have to go tell our dragon friend that he can move and help him move. So we were going to borrow a cart from Meriwether's, I think.
I probably would have. You know, when he's ever brought it with me. I think that was our discussion last time that you were going to bring the cart. That makes perfect sense. On your attention. I'm going to be super excited to be able to move out from the Pixies. And there'll be so many new friends in the cave. And, I mean, yeah, I don't mean you have to give more eggs, but, you know, it seems like you don't have any shortage of eggs these days.
Wait, what do you mean more eggs? Who needs more eggs? I mean, you've been up in your eggs every time you deliver. Oh, yeah, I have the agreement with Furt and Egg, but... Didn't they ask for more in order for the dragon to move in? I still had extra, though. That's what I mean. You have so many more eggs lately? Are you trying to get eggs? No. Oh, it looks like you have some extras there. I mean, you just met him once, so it's not like I'm missing out.
All right, so should we go talk to the dragon first? Crun? Yeah, Crun. I'm just surprised you're skipping over the discussion of eggs. I don't know where that was leading. That's why I'm skipping it over. Oh, okay. You don't want to know where it's leading. Well, I don't know where it's going anyway. It seems to be going in circles. So I'm breaking the circle. Okay, so you're talking about crumb? Mm-hmm. Time to go help him move. Mm-hmm.
And not get pizza for it. Yeah, pizza's not real at this time. You would have to discover those ingredients. All right, I'm going to go outside. I will grab popcorn, hop in the back of the wagon, and say, Giddy up! The wagon moves. On we go, another adventure. Wait, the wagon just moves or you move the wagon? Well, the horses are attached. So they start with us. Wait, no one's driving, are they? Once again, I'm probably driving. Oh, you got into the wagon.
I thought I just said it and they just started walking. Yep. No, I got into the wagon. Once we said that that was what we were doing for the day. Okay. Or that's what we were heading off to. Yeah. So you guys head off towards Krun's cave. Krun's X cave. Soon to be X cave. Super pixies. Oh. Uh-oh. This is the first. It's the first time I ever rolled a random encounter. I thought that's what was about to happen. I wasn't even prepared because it's just never come up. Oh. Let's see.
You guys are rolling your wagon and wagging along. There's a lot of zeros here. I mean, zeros. CR zero. You guys are wagging along. And all of a sudden. You come about. Oops. Oh, it's a good thing. we're not actually rolling because that was a one. Yeah. We'll see if you roll. You see a rocking horse in the middle of the road. Well, that's strange. Becca, was Fauna in the wagon too? Or are you sitting up with Meriwether? I'd probably be sitting in the front to see everything.
Okay, I'm sitting in the back. So I don't know if I would necessarily notice this rocking horse. How high are the sides of the wagon? I'm picturing, like, at least walls this tall. And then if you guys are sitting, like, on a bench in the front, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to see past you two. Probably not. Not unless you squeezed your face in between. Okay, so. But I definitely said, well, that's strange. I don't know if that got your attention to be like, oh, let me see.
Nope. Nope. Okay, so you guys, Fauna and Meriwether, you see a rocking horse in the middle of the road, and it's rocking. It's rocking? Okay, now it's creepy. Do you guys see anything here? This seems weird. Is it windy? Check for wind. Yes, very windy. Well, I'm just going to assume that the wind is what's making the rocking horse move. Yeah, sure. But I'm still like, it's strange to somebody. What does the condition of the rocking horse look like? Oh, it's pretty beat up.
Haunted house. I was just thinking it's haunted. Should I just go check it out? I mean, I am not going to stop you. Roll a perception check. As you approach a roll perception real quick. I think as we stop, I'd probably notice some things happening. 17. 17. Okay. And Fauna? Eight? Okay, Fauna, you don't notice anything, so we're going to say you're surprised as it kind of shifts to rock towards you and just like headbutts you as you get close. This thing just hit me.
We're going to roll initiative, but Fauna, you take... This thing just hit me. Oh, you take... Oh, I've got to roll a hit. That's right. Okay, that's going to hit... Level 1. This thing doesn't do a lot of damage. Remember, we're still level 1. Yeah, it did 4 damage. 4 bludgeoning. So it's almost half my health. Good. And everyone will roll an initiative? 9. 9. Why don't I have a plus 4 to initiative? That's what I'm wondering. You have a plus 4 dex. Then I have a 19.
Fauna, what did you have? 21. Okay, so Fauna, you will go first after having been surprised. I'm kind of right next to it. It's wood? Yeah, I'd say it's wood. I'm going to cast a firebolt at it. Okay. And you're within melee range of it, because it headbutted you, so that's at disadvantage. Okay. Six. Yeah, that doesn't hit. So after Fauna is Flora, I should have made extra eggs this morning I'm gonna Tap thrice And get myself Magic eggs Okay Is that my turn? Or is that like a bonus?
I'm trying to think Did we eat regular sized eggs? Come out of the big chicken? I think so Popcorn's not big, I just grabbed her and brought her along I'm not riding her so there's no reason for her to be big gotcha gotcha so you have three eggs and they're magical eggs and. Is that my action or is it bonus? I think it says in the... For magic stone? For the magic... No. For magic. So, the fey-touch chicken feather to create magic stone, which is the magic egg. And magic stone's a bonus action.
It says it's a bonus action, so that's what we're following. And that's my bonus action. And then I'm going to take one of those eggs and slingshot it with my new fancy slingshot. Yep. Mm-hmm. At the horse. Her horses or the rocket? The rocket. Yeah, please move mine. 24 to hit? 24 hits. Okay, this is the first time I've used a magic egg. So, wait, am I attacking with the slingshot or with the magic stone? The slingshot. Okay, and then which one's the damage?
It should be the box. There should be a box towards the left that's for attack, and there's a box towards the right. It's still the slingshot, not the egg. No. Okay. Then that's going to be eight damage. Okay. I think that was max. Oh, no, it wasn't max. That would be eight. Okay. And that's your turn? I think so. I believe it is. If we're following the magic stone card for these eggs, once I throw it, the spell lines on the egg, and it's no longer magic. Yeah, the one that broke? Yeah. Yeah.
So you fire a stone with your slingshot. It breaks on the horse. The horse, when he's back and like gets up on, you know, the ends of the rock, rocking part. What do you call that? The bows, maybe? I don't know. What do you call a bow part piece of wood on a rocking horse? Rockers. We'll call them rockers. I was going to say rockers. So it got back onto the points of its rocker and whinnies and is pretty upset. I say, don't headbutt my friend. And so it comes around.
I'm still in the wagon. Fauna, you can get an attack of opportunity. Okay. I'm going to assume that would probably be with my quarterstaff. That or barehanded. I'll whack it with my staff because I always have it kind of with me. 14 to hit? That just misses. Okay. Okay, so it comes around and it headbutts the cart. How much HP does the cart have? Can you look up cart? Because cart has stats, I think. Is that inventory? You can look it up under inventory. I don't see stats for cart. Okay.
Okay, there don't seem to be any stats. We'll say it has about 20 hit points. It now has 14 hit points. Oh, jeez. Cards aren't very strong. They're pretty rickety. This is not like a wagon. This is a cart. I think it's only 15 goals. So it only has about 20 hit points. And it's lost six.
¶ Encountering the Creepy Rocking Horse
No, we need this cart, you stupid horse. It turns its head towards you and gives you, like, one of those, like. This is the creepiest rocking horse I've ever seen in my life. And then, Meriwether, it's your turn. I'm going to chill touch. 22. 22 definitely hits. I'm glad. Six. Dodge. Double check. Six damage? C. Okay, I'm just double check. You said, and that's necrotic, Anne? That is, well, I was looking up another, um, yes. Okay. Yep. Then it is, Fallen is turned down.
All right. Now that I have some distance from it, I'm going to try to firebolt it again. Okay, you firebolt. 16. 16 hits. Oh. Oh, gosh. I rolled it, picked it up to try to see if it was a one or a seven and dropped it. I think it was the one, though. Just real. I can't tell the one and the seven very well. It's a two this time. Okay. So the average.
And then it is Flora's turn If it's flammable it's ignited, It doesn't say it's not Flammable but this is a Living thing Yeah So I'm going to go with not flammable Two more magic eggs So here comes the next one, That's a 22 22 hits Max damage 10 These eggs, man. It, uh, whinnies back in pain and fall over. I feel a little bad, but it attacked us first. Is it moving? No. Are we still in initiative? No. Throw it in the cart. You want me to throw that creepy thing in the cart?
Maybe someone can tell us what it is. It's kind of weird, isn't it? Yeah, why would it just be out here? Just looks like a rocking horse? Yep. i will send a picture once i get into facebook am i gonna want to see this picture yeah i don't think it's terrible you like to surprise us with with pictures sometimes like, the two-legged cow is probably the weirdest one.
I sent that one i drew that one, if i touch it does it just feel like normal wood oh yeah i mean it's pretty give me a nature check since you're a druid okay and then is there anything like on it, or like where we could find out where it came from 11 you feel that this had magic in it recently, that it's not quite a natural, wooden force, but maybe it had been, more with a little bit of magic.
I'll better do it. What would you say? Is there anything like on it, like either papers, like if there's a saddle, is there anything like in the Like in the pouch? No, there's no pouch. This is not necessarily a riding horse in the way that your horses are. This is more, look at the picture, it's like a kid's ride horse. But no markings or anything where we could determine where it was from. One of the bottoms of the rockers, it just says property of, but it seemed worn out.
So like, whosoever it was, it was probably a long time ago. And if it had an owner, they may or may not be gone. Or this thing has seen better days and looks like it's been on its own for a while. I don't go in the car. Okay. I wanted you to take notes. I'm taking notes. This is why I don't take notes, because I take too many notes. I just like to never get rid of note-taking. I just like to be surprised each time the way you wake up.
You don't really fit here, sir. You're rolling my dice. I fits, I sits. Even if I don't fit, I still sits. Okay. So you guys throw the rocking horse in the back of the wagon. Yep. How does Popcorn react to it? Or how do you have the animals that for Suze? Yeah. Like, do they seem concerned at all? Does it bother them? Well, Popcorn's probably not going to sit on it. But she doesn't, like, hide away from it or something?
Not hide away from it, but definitely not sit on it or next to it or touching it. Okay. Continue on as long as the cart's not too broken. Okay, so you guys continue on, I guess, according to Flora. Yeah, I think it's time to keep going. I mean, keep your eye out for any more rocking horses, I guess. I'm hoping this is the only haunted rocking horse we ever see. It was interesting. Just the assumption that it's haunted. What else am I supposed to think?
I don't really work with magic on a daily basis other than this weird feather. Okay, so you guys head over to Krun, Krun's Cave. It's not actually called Krun's Cave, it's called... Krun's X-Cave? I think I called it the... let me see... the Forgotten Tunnels. Think he'll let us through the tar this time? The car's already on the ground, and it's out of his control. Are you sure? You want to ask? Maybe he can get us over it. Yeah, I'm not walking there. He's a dragon.
He has some magic after all. He could just, like, clean it up since we're leaving. Go ahead and ask him. Should we bring the cart in, or are we just going to carry things in and out? I don't think you're going to get that cart in. I was going to ask. Okay. Because you had to go through a stream, like, duck down.
I think storm grain I'm thinking we're gonna Fill our bags of holding And then just go back and forth Dumping them into the cart That sounds like a good plan, After you Fauna I'll lead the way I guess And when we get close to the tar I'm gonna yell across to him, I don't know if we need to do things before we get to that point Since we've been through here before No not really What do you yell across to him Hey Mr. Dragon Hello Who goes there?
We got you a new home. We're here to help you move. Oh, you people. Yeah. Do you think you could magic away this tar you placed here so we don't get so messy carrying your stuff? No, it's permanent. Well, don't you have special dragon magic abilities? Yeah. And all of a sudden, from back in the cave, you see a... Make a perception check. Fauna. And whoever's next to Fauna. 19. Fauna. So I'm in 17. Okay, you guys all see a towel just come flying out from his side of the cave.
I'm still not walking on this. I'll put it down. Yeah, if you want it gone, just clean it up. It's a magical towel cleaning. It's not. It's not a towel. I was thinking about just using it to like almost make a bridge over it. It's, I think more like washcloth. A package or a path through. Okay. Yeah, that's not, that's probably not gonna work.
I try anyway. Yeah. You get about like a foot in and this thing is like, I don't know if you've ever tried to wipe up paint or something, but like as you wipe and then you turn it to try and get a clean space and you wipe and you turn it. After a while, it's on your hands and then there's no clean spots left on the towel.
That's happening here yeah it makes sense do you have another towel no that's the only one, don't you have magic or something uh not that kind of magic i don't think i have any magic minor illusion i don't think that'll help yeah i can't like true crap yes can i use, prestidigitation? Yes. Yay! You had prestidigitation this whole time? Yes. Mike was waiting for the light bulb to click. Yeah, so she could have been cleaning your feet off this entire time.
You demons! She's the most demon in Boston in New York today! This is what happens when this is the first time you've really played a spellcaster. Yeah, so you're basically able to clear a path. That's what I do. Very well there has had custed education this entire time, all caps. Yeah. Nicole, we had so much fun with the dirt and feet. Yeah, so he gave fauna washcloths.
Up the tar it's not working and then all of a sudden maryweather remembers, that she has magic she has a hand trick, as many times i'm sorry i hold up my boot that's still not completely clean and i say well. I'll clean it. And then my other one? I clean that one, too. She could probably do both at once. I think it's what, how it says the size in there. Ten feet. Ten feet. Laura exasperated pulled up her tarry boots for Meriwether to clean. Okay. So there is now a path to Kron's Krunst cave.
I'm going to head back there and start pulling out the stone he had loaned me. Uh-huh. And as I approach, I'll hold it out and say, they did not react to your treasure at all. So I think you're safe. They passed the test? They passed the test. Okay. I guess our deal's on.
All right. Well, for moving we were going to help you move i don't think we were giving you honey no, did i forget something no i don't think so because like it was either you want to move or not because the pixies are staying yeah i don't see anything in my notes yeah you may not have offered anything and he may not have requested anything that doesn't stop him from requesting more of nothing i guess, You ready for us to start packing you out? Yeah.
I'm going to move to the pile and start filling my bag of folding until either there's nothing left or my bag is full. Okay. I forget that much. I think it's like 500 pounds, isn't it? Maybe. And you can hold what, like 200 pounds? 500 pounds. Can't exceed 64 cubic feet. Let me see how much a cart can carry.
Because if not things will probably have to stay some things will probably have to stay in the bag, yeah because the bag's weight never changes it doesn't say what the capacity is of the bag of the cart, I think the cart is 200 pounds so it probably can't hold, more than double that we'll say it can probably hold about 400 pounds perfect so that's four fifths of what's here right because we said it's 500 pounds of rocks and you guys are half weight also well i can carry the
last little bit in the oh no because we have our weight too and it was still so the bag weighs wait we could probably still make this work do we have the back of this what is in it weighs 15 pounds so if we just put some of it in the cart And some of it in our bag of holding will still have enough reserve weight to.
Free with your bags because the bag is 16 pounds popcorn probably is not that heavy, you three combined are probably like i don't know i'm small yeah you're like up to 40 pounds you got how much do you you guys this way gosh i never figured it out i'm a half elf i'm young i'm probably like what 110 pounds something like that yeah we can go with that if i guess maryweather probably the same or a little heavier because she's taller because she's a health but
she's also probably lying here so somewhere around 110 so we'll say 220 plus 40 we'll say you guys are around 250 ish together okay and that's not counting the bags which probably puts you over 300 because they're 16 pounds each 15 each yes that's an extra 45 pounds Yeah, so you're around 200. No, 300. You're around 300. So you've got 100 pounds of rock in the cart. But there's also a rocking horse, and you've got a dragon. Okay, well, you said there's 500 pounds of rock. Yeah.
To move. So let's just split it 250 into Flora's, 250 into my bag of holding. Our bags will only weigh 15 pounds. We won't unload it from the bag of holding. Team will just put the bags into the cart. Okay. Yep. Seems to work. You've solved my puzzle. All right, Krun, you ready to see your new home? Yeah. I hope they have eggs. They will. Maybe not today. In fact, one of your new roommate's name is Egg. Weird. She... I bet they like eggs. They do. A lot.
Gotta get my treasure. Gotta get my rocks to safety. I wink at him. He winks back. Alright. I jump back in the cart. I offer my hand to Kren to get in the cart. Okay. He grabs your hand. And I tug him up toward the top of the cart. And he will slowly, as you pull him more, he starts to get the hint to climb him. He didn't know what I meant. So he's in the cart. You guys have his rocks and those are in the cart. There's a rocking horse in the cart. Does he question the rocking horse at all?
He doesn't understand what the whole helping him into the cart was. I don't think he's going to care or notice a rocking horse.
So, Crun, with your magical abilities, we came across this magical horse on our way here you ever seen something like that no no i've been in the cave for a while i i've been in a cave for a while i i must eat the bugs and the critters oh they're my favorite i've never had rocking horse before wait you don't eat it no no okay what do you do with it you sit on it and rock do you do that while the wagon goes does it make the wagon more
fun potentially it's like a toy a haunted toy i mean yes a toy okay so it's not food not food no. Oh, hold on. And he jumps out of the cart, runs back into the cave, and grabs his stick. Oh, I thought we took that, too. Did you say you took the stick? I didn't say it. I just assumed. Well, he grabs his stick and comes back. Is there anything else you're forgetting? He checks. He looks like he's, like, checking, like you would check your wallet and your keys. Jeez.
I don't like so. All right. I guess we're ready to go. He turns to Meriwether. He's like, your magic doesn't like put tar back down, does it? Yes. Oh, it does. I think it makes things dirty too. Let me double check that. Yeah. Yeah.
Soil an object okay i don't know that it'll be tar it may just be dirty like dust or dirt or something that's not talk like tar would be too powerful for a cantrip i think well i'll try it i'll be like is this sufficient okay uh yeah i guess we can lay a dirt trap dust trap we'll know if someone comes and goes are you planning on coming back here no no not here in my new cave, oh well you'll have friends to help protect you yeah i need to know if they're
getting near my treasure oh yeah that makes sense like that doesn't make any sense but what do you mean, till i had the dirt trap at the previous home no not at the previous home the new home around his treasure oh that i can do yeah yeah i thought you meant here i was just no no i don't want to hear i want to i want in the new house i don't want to do me any good here that's why i'm like i'm glad it makes sense to somebody else because it does not make sense to me,
yeah so uh let's let's get this horse on the road welcome, anything. It was magical and it was moving around, but not anymore. I don't think that's what he meant. Crudden slowly points to the two horses in front of the cart. Oh, he meant those horses. Yeah. I don't think this one's alive, and he kind of, like, nudges it with his foot. No, we took care of it. What does that mean? Nothing. Merriweather, onward. You heard her.
Onward. and the horses go onward what did we say the ride to, this cave was I don't know but I think we were able to get to the cave and then to Furt and Eggs and then back home she was longer to this cave it wasn't as long to get to Eggs and Furt, Furt Furt yes I realized after I said it look, that Fauna continues to call Furt bird yeah eggs invert.
Yeah let's not dilly dally because i forgot to take my eggs to the tavern this morning, how are we gonna have dinner let's not dilly dally and we'll have it oh you guys have eggs for dinner i sell eggs to the tavern every day and i forgot to take them by this morning I don't like that, I bet. Are the two caves on opposite sides of the town? I wouldn't say they're on opposite sides of the town. They're both out. Did I ever tell you where they were? Outside of town?
Yeah, I think that's something you're really told. My brain put them on opposite sides of the town. At one point, I said what direction they were, but I don't expect you to remember that, really. Uh. Yeah I'm not sure I think they're somewhere near the same side of town But like outward The Eggfurt and Eggs Cave was further away Than Prunz Really?
What's the reason? She's sleeping at eggs every day It's not every day it's once a week Was just because If we need to go through, You're not going to be able to go through town And deliver your eggs Alright then let's get some giddy up in our steps and hope we don't run into another rocking horse. Yeah. Okay. So you guys head towards Furt and Evdave. Do we encounter anything else? Yes, you will. Give me a moment. As you guys are driving the cart, one of the wheels goes into a hole and cracks.
This is how you get weight-linked by rocking horses. Peachy Keen. Do you have a repair kit for a repair spell? I don't have magic. I was looking at Meriwether since it's her cart. Probably not a repair kit. Attack it with the feather. Nothing. It's darn. Can we just try to repair it? Yeah, you can take a shot And what would we call this? Just give me a straight d20. If we all work together, can someone roll with advantage? Sure.
Who's feeling lucky? I rolled enough in Greece so far, so I'm not sure if it's me. I can roll. Oh. What am I rolling? d20 with advantage. Yeah. That's a 17. So do the 17 And am I adding anything to it? No Okay, you guys are able to get the wheel Somewhat prepared.
Give me a perception check Elevisor Yeah Nat 20 10, 13 Okay, Flora, you see like a creature in the hole That the wheel broke on Kind of like Scurrying, what does it look like do you have dark vision i think so if we all do do you know what a weasel is weasel weasel if you pleasele it looks like a weasel that's like twice your size, i was expecting something small from the way okay the, Is it going toward or away? Hi, Erla. Hi. It looks aggressive. Oh, no. Unless that's not what you wanted.
I rolled my, so it's the opposite of what you wanted, which I assume you didn't want aggressive, so it's aggressive. Yeah, I was hoping for not aggressive. Yeah, it's aggressive. I back away slowly. And it comes running out of the hole. I grab my last magic egg Put it in the slingshot And if it tries to attack Any of us or the wagon or the horses I will Slingshot a magic egg at it Roll initiative 21.
Okay and we're going to go with Okay So you have a held action, And it's running At you Do you have a coaster so I can put it back there So I don't mess up the board There's coasters on a stack right there. Over the pies. Yeah, there's coasters, and that wood doesn't necessarily need a coaster. So, Laura, it's running directly at you. Do I consider that an attack? You're going to have to make that decision. Maybe if I just hit it with one egg, it'll go away.
So I'm going to slingshot an egg at it. Okay. As a deterrent. 16. That hits. 10 damage it falls to the ground and like slides it up to your feet is it dead do you know weasel and that like i mean i could nature it maybe sure we're bringing food in to look at it that one fun. Fauna? Fauna? Yeah? Did I just kill this thing with an egg? It's a natura? Yeah. 18. With your attunement to nature, you can tell this thing is highly unconscious. We'll see how unconscious.
Very unconscious. As unconscious as it gets. So dead? Does that mean dead? No. No, no, it means it's probably stable, but very unconscious, which is weird because you're pretty sure arranged attacks kill if they're going to kill no matter what. Well, I think you just knocked it out completely cold. It's still alive. So that means we could probably finish this repair and get out of here before it wakes up. Works for me.
I'm going to watch it. let's just say I can keep an eye on it and I'll touch it with the jungler ball if it wakes up, that's pretty good you remembered I thought about it on the rocking horse but I wanted to fight it instead okay so you guys broke cartwheel. On a weasel hole the weasel attacked and was put down unconscious by Laura. I gotta be more careful with this slingshot. And you guys finish repairing the wheel. Alright, let's get out of here before it wakes up.
Alright, we finish repairing the wheel and book it out. Yep. Yep. So you guys continue to head towards Furt and Eggs Cave. You arrive. Furt! Eggs! Beep. Who goes there? It's your friends. And your new roommate. Do you bring eggs? I tap popcorn. Twice. For regular eggs. Once for regular eggs. I think twice. I wrote this, Tal. Because you have them. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't. I don't know either. Two taps makes a chicken lay six eggs. Three taps makes a chicken... Lay magic eggs. Yeah.
All right, let me fix this issue. All right, feather. One tap to grow or shrink. Two taps to lay six eggs. Three taps to lay magic eggs. All right, so I'll have her lay six eggs, and then I assume she's topped out. Possible, entirely likely. But as soon as I do that, I go, yeah, I got eggs. Okay. Sure. Bring them in. And I guess bring your friend in. Okay. I will bring the eggs, leave popcorn in the cart, and bring Crun and whoever has the rest of his treasure. I think I do in my bag.
Okay. Okay, so I'll walk in, and I'll say, Furt, eggs, meat, Crun. Crun, this is Furt and eggs. How do I know the difference? That one's Furt, that one's eggs. Okay. They all look the same to me. That seems racist. Yeah, but he's a goblin.
Well i mean i mean he's a dragon technically cron a dragon or a goblin too cron yeah cron is technically a goblin even though fauna thinks he's a dragon so he's being intentionally obtuse every time i think of cron i imagine him like a small child with a costume that's way too big for them and like the arms of the dragon are like hanging off the edges of his hands and the hood with the dragon face is like too big and like he almost trips on the feet and
it's that's what i see when i i think of the dragon i agree that's what you were thinking probably more accurate, less cute yeah he's not cute he's let's say uh he's a ferocious dragon that's a too small kind of costume it's about the right size maybe a little bit big i think my idea is cuter okay well.
So that's that's what he probably looks like and he's pretending he doesn't know what dragons look like or what goblins look like i mean we all know gonna completely just believes everything says about being a dragon yeah yep this is true so so where i uh set up set up my home with my pilot run i assume pertinites have to tell him where though oh yeah well, i guess i mean you can take them where you found that bag or just like through
the big room and over a little bridge, and it's a little alcove back there, and they're in the alcove over this way off the Vicarum. So, a little bit further away. Alright, so I guess we'll take Crun over there, and we'll work with him to set up his pile of treasure. Okay. Yeah, put some here, and then he's just directing you, and then some over here, And just scatter a little bit around. Make it really... That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm like dumping a little bit out at a time.
¶ Moving Crun to His New Home
Make it really look like rocks so nobody suspects anything. Smart. Yeah. Yeah yep i'm a magical dragon are you my actual magics to make it dirt okay yeah yeah yeah do that more around especially by that bridge so i can know when people come in okay so i assume as you guys finish laying the treasure out you you go and uh i guess you're like it's treasure I don't know. You guys tell me. All you do is you finish. Well, is that where you want it all? Yeah, I think so. I think that'll do.
How does this look for a new cave for you? Good enough for a dragon? I mean, the cave's a cave. I think it'll work. I'll reach into my apron, hand him two of the eggs, and say, a cave warming gift. Oh, thank you. Here. For you. And he hands you one of his treasure rocks. I'm honored. Thank you. It's a pretty small round one. When you say pretty small round, is it pretty? No, no. Just pretty small. Yeah. Sorry. I know you love rocks.
I'll say, I'll let you get settled in. I'm going to take a few more eggs over to your new roommates. Okay. And I'll give the other four to Fertin eggs. Okay. Good doing business with you. I'll see you next week. See you then. Wait, am I going to have to give him more than the nine eggs I'm already bringing? No, I don't think so. Okay, because I was calculating three for each of them per week. I think that's what you did agree to them, if I do remember right.
I didn't write it down, but I think that was the negotiation, because you're trying to make it something divisible by three people. Yeah. All right. Not to, like, rush things along here, but can we get back to town? I need to make that egg delivery before it gets too late. Oh, yeah. I mean, definitely want to have a good dinner. Just going to use the eggs for some sort of good pastry again. I'll hop in the cart ready to go. Laura, you know at this point there's not
going to be any dinner with eggs tonight. I don't say anything, though. Okay, so you guys get back in the cart and you head back to our town. See? with the rocking horse in the cart and on the, To make the egg delivery for the day at the tavern? Yep. Okay. So I'll grab my egg basket on the way, and I assume we just keep going in the cart to the tavern. Makes sense, because we already have it hooked up, unless Maryweather needed to get it back home. What time is it by now?
It's probably, like, later afternoon, with both the cave visits that you've done. I'm going to hurry into the tavern with my basket and say, Oh, Helene, I'm so sorry I'm late today. We had some obligations to take care of this morning, but here are your eggs. Here they are. You've never been late before. You're not going to make that happen to this, are you? I'm not planning on it. Terribly sorry. Okay. I'll let it slide this time. But there's no pastries for the day. What?
Yeah, kind of need eggs for pastries. Well, if I had only known helping a dragon would lead to this. You helped a dragon? I lean over and hide my mouth with my hand and I go, not a real dragon. Okay, you keep your secrets, I guess. You need a new room. You found a new room. Mm-hmm. Okay. She looks at Fauna like, sure, sure. Whatever you guys are up to, you just hope it was fun. Next time, make sure the eggs are here in the morning. Will do.
Okay. You gonna eat? No. Famished after a day like today. Definitely without the meal. Okay. Okay. Well, let's see. Tonight we have badger kebabs, some marinated soybeans, and stewed striped bass. I think I'll take the stew tonight. Okay. It's a bisque, and there's some broccoli and a piece of sourdough. It's a little stale. It's from yesterday. Yeah, but it didn't to the day. It's great. I'll take the soybeans. Okay. Yeah, they're just covered in a tasty sauce. They're probably not that great.
They don't do that. But I don't want badger, and I definitely don't want bass. I'll take old water. Okay. You're out.
¶ The Tavern and Unmet Expectations
Well, here's water. No, you don't have eggs. I feel like I had also made a deal with What's-His-Face at the General Store, to get like trade a few eggs for milk when I needed it I don't know if you made that deal but that was a one-time thing it was probably a one-time thing, I'm not sure I wrote down all my other deals so I'm guessing it's a one-time thing, oh yeah,
Don't move back. We refilled the Don food today, and the empty bag is at the bottom of the stairs, and the cats have been fascinated. I want to play. Okay. You guys sit down, I guess, at a table, maybe? Yeah. Yeah. And you eat your foods. So what are we doing tomorrow now? Is it time to go find our next adventure from Resvera? I lean forward and stay kind of soft. I don't know, but I do know I'm not going to be late for this egg delivery again.
Why don't we go, like, tomorrow morning? So that way we have a full day to adventure. That sounds like a... I just feel like this to you lately, because you little. So Flora is reacting poorly to the idea of adventuring. Meriwether is, like, tapping you. I would say more like elbowing, like... Yeah, but gently because you're small. That's fair. And Fauna, what were you saying? I think that's a great idea. So, we'll get the eggs done real fast in the morning so we can get on our adventure.
Okay. Is Raspira performing tonight? Oh, you don't see her in the tavern tonight. I guess you can't perform every night. No, you probably get tired. You know, you need a night off. i guess we'll just finish dinner and then i'll head home what um what are all the things let's let's pull out all the time the side quest like things this is the first night i'm taking notes yeah i'm saying let's pull out all the side quest things on the night or that like there or pieces of interest.
Let's look at all the story hooks that may exist, may not exist. I mean, we've completed some. Yeah. I know the goblins and the eggs and then moving on were all one with the pixies. We brought the magic item back to Ristera. We had saved that sack for old Dave. Rain. Figuring out what rain was and wanted.
Just don't know what she wants Besides cupcakes She's still imaginary and we don't understand Why she suddenly exists This is true I don't think I've been so concerned about it, So Rain What do you know? What do you need to know? Where is information? I copied down the information We could find from that book We know.
Book rain isn't supposed to be real it's an imaginary creature she dropped the cursed ball and she likes cupcakes and she likes cupcakes but she's very shy and doesn't come out when we're around but we think she lives in the clouds but we don't know why she's real but there's a reason why she comes down when something's in distress or something wasn't that it i don't remember that like there's a reason why she was coming down she came down once while
you guys were something was happening yeah i forget why she came down but i thought it was because something punishes evil doers when confronted by bullies or evil doers she emits rainbow colored positive energy from a hallowed horn uses her rainbows to heal friendly creatures and punish evil doers, which transforms them into flowers that litter. Were there bullies for some reason? I think we thought that the chickens were fighting. I think that's the conclusion we came to.
Did some of my chickens get turned into flowers? No. Because I would have noticed. Yeah, you would have noticed. That was not it. How long ago? How many of you had to go? This was toward the beginning. It was towards the beginning. It was in the first number two. My notes on it are from the 18th of June, if that helps. That does not. Oh, like our very first one. Yeah, no, it's not the very first one. It was one of the later ones or it was somewhere in the middle.
It was at least like a couple of days later. I mean, my first day of notes for this campaign. Mm hmm. Gotcha. Yeah, no, no, it wasn't the. Notes. It was one of the days after that. When we got it to come back? Yeah, on the third episode, you guys attracted Rain down with the promise of cupcakes and safety. Yeah. That was also the week you guys were talking to Kezare. Because Fargus was leaving. Yeah. I thought she came down and did something, but I guess she didn't.
No, just dropped the stuff. And you just, you had copied down reigns i copied down all the information that was in the book the children's book i feel like you had the book we went to a library library i would have made a photocopy but this is dnd i've had libraries and last for like copying it on like loose leaf paper i've had libraries i have met copying my life holding it like holding it transcribing it i might have held the paper over top a picture and like trace the picture.
Well then I guess look at the picture. I'm looking at the picture. Okay. There's something extra on the book on the picture that you might not have realized, was there. Well we knew about the horn. We got wings. Fire wings. Old horse knives. Rainbow hair. At the end, in, like, clearly a different font, possibly written on what you were copying. What are the golden thingies are missing? I don't know what you're talking about. Well, this guy here looks silver and the other ones look gold.
Yeah, no, that's not one of them. You ended up copying down the phrase, and she's real. Did you just make this up? It was going to be in there from the beginning, but I thought he took the book. So we're putting it there now. Well, you didn't write that piece of information in the little message. Well, that's true. Because it was not meant to be necessarily found yet.
But I transcribed it. Yeah. But it was like at the end of the sentence, and you were like trying to get out of there without getting in trouble. And the librarian just kept saying, that's not real. Yeah. So maybe you remembered and it's real as that's not real. It's not real. This would have come back more.
But you guys have not looked at this thing since day one we talked about we're done with day one but it's been a while yeah is uh flora even still leaving cupcakes out she hasn't for it anytime it disappeared i was replenishing it but it wasn't disappearing it disappeared this morning yeah has it been there was like a day or two where it didn't disappear a couple days and you threw that one away yeah i've been replenishing it i think i've said that you didn't say that after you threw
away the moldy one or stale one you never talked about replenishing you just kind of forgot about the whole thing i didn't forget okay well you never told i thought I said I was going to make sure a cupcake stayed there and keep it fresh. You might have said that until the stale one and then when you have it in the stale one, you never said you put another one back. Okay, well my intention was to constantly have a cupcake available.
So from this point on, assume if I don't say it, there's a fresh cupcake. Sure. Once per day. I assumed you were disappointed by the cupcake going bad and you assumed she had moved on or something. I would understand, but I don't think Flora gives up after a day. She works with animals. She knows they're unpredictable. Yeah, I was going to say, that would not be something like one ghost movie. It would have to be a couple before, say.
Because Vonda definitely would have fathered you to be like, no, no, no, we got to try again. I think Flora would have given it at least a week, and then she might still keep putting one out like once a week or something like that. So if the cupcake is eaten at least once a week, she'll keep putting a cupcake out. Okay. Yeah, so your most recent cupcake, Scott. And we noticed this from today's cupcake? Yeah. Okay.
I'm just going to look up at the clouds and go, Hi, Rain! And put a new cupcake out. Okay. Roll in, multi-edged blade. 18. Roll insight. End perception. End perception? Yeah. Insight, 15. Perception, 5. Okay. You see a rainbow in the sky, and you're pretty sure crop of right. Or from right. I mean, yeah, rain causes rainbows. I was gonna say that.
Yeah, so. right so you have a book of imaginary creatures or at least a page from a book of imaginary creatures i only transcribed her page i know and but it comes from a book of imaginary creatures and they're not supposed to be real and this one real and it says in this copy or in this page this one and and it's real is the general store still open maybe if you hurry, I'm going to hurry to the general store. Roll a d20. Hi, I love. Hi, I already rolled it. Roll it again, and I love it. Hi.
14. Okay, it's open. Old Dave's, like, locking up. Oh, old Dave, sorry. Need to ask you something. Yeah? Can you special order books? Well, maybe.
Spam call. i tell him about the book from the library i'm like do you think you could order this book like do you have it in a catalog or something uh that book sure that specific book or a copy of that book i mean the specific book is at the tiny tiny tinyville tinyville library so then you probably need an interlibrary of loan if you want a specific book. I think we just want a copy of it. Okay.
Merriweather and fauna aside and i'm gonna say okay here's the thing we can either ask old dave for this interlibrary loan or we get a copy of the book and switch them out at the library, why do we need the library book specifically someone's handwriting in the book do you think there's other notes in it maybe oh now i mean my initial plan was to switch out the books but now that old Dave mentioned, I could get it on interlibrary loan. Maybe that's better.
That's a good idea because then we can just take it out of what we need to know. We can always take it out again. Okay, I'll break the huddle and then turn back to old Dave and go, interlibrary loan's good. Okay, I'll get that started for you. How long does it take? Depends how quick the librarians work. And money.
Interlibrary loan is free yeah even if we don't have a library part to that library, interlibrary loan you only need a card to your local library and that library orders it and you use your card to borrow it we don't have a library I think old Dave is the library yeah old Dave points to like a little box and it's like one of those little free libraries, that's the that's the town bird library It's not advertised, really. That was a lovely point for Erich. If everyone in town took a book,
75% of town wouldn't have a book. Uh-huh. So, what's 25% of 77? That's how many books are in the library. Yeah, so how long does this take? Uh, you can check back tomorrow. Sounds good to me.
¶ Plans for Tomorrow’s Adventure
It is the end of the day, though, so I assume at least lunchtime would be the earliest. Probably. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you staying open a few minutes later just to get this arranged. Yeah. I'll have a half dozen eggs for you in the morning as a thanks. Okay. I like eggs. I think Flora just barters in eggs all the time. It seems that way. It's a plentiful, replenishable resource. Mm-hmm. All right. So with that done, Flora is happy to go home and relax for the evening,
the remainder of the evening. I think I said. Back to working on her quilt i think you did say that yep okay and so what what are the rest of you guys doing going home i think it's been a pretty long day moving all of the uh rocks and stuff so i'll probably you know spend a few minutes just like slowly coming in through the woods and then go to my bed okay thank you once again when we shot play music i'd be ready yeah i'll pour myself some tea from my endless decanter of tea,
canteen of tea, whatever it was, and just work on my quilt until either my eyes get tired or my fingers get tired. Eat a piece of pie? Probably. We got plentiful pie. Mary Weather, you notice the pie is still on the table. Still with only one piece cut out? Wow. Wait, my pie or her pie? Her pie. Do your parents not like you? Do they not like pop? I don't know. I've come up, I think, with two ideas about her parents. One, they're like, it's a noble family, so they're rich.
So like they go off and just kind of leave me by myself all the time. Or for like, then to tie in the fertility stuff, it's either they had trouble getting pregnant. And that's why the dad wants to help everybody else or like he, he just likes to have kids and then just goes off and donates his stuff. It's probably not that they had problems. They, it was probably pretty easy for them. And so he shares that around, but it's like. Unless it was the mom that had problems getting pregnant. Then.
If the question is, is your mom your mom? I mean, it does happen. True. Is your mom your mom? Right. If she had trouble getting pregnant, but the dad is fertile. Did they steal a child from someone? Or did they have a surrogate? Let's go with the less evil version first. I don't know. It just finally worked.
Yeah. Yeah. So we can go with that option. you know because it also explains why i don't have any siblings true thinking maybe some of the money he gets paid to help impregnate all these other women would have just been easier if he was just cheating this could be a lifetime story yeah yeah probably yeah we're definitely.
Lifetime hallmark take your pick yeah so yeah they think just more hallmark than like or they just take like sell the horses or like race them or something so they're always out and about so you can either take that and pick whichever storyline you like but there's some ideas Yeah.
¶ Uncovering Secrets and Mysteries
Okay. But we'll end it there. Well, did did Fana say what she was doing? Yeah, she said she was going home through the woods and then she was going. Oh, just going to bed? Yeah. I've moved a lot of rocks. Who had the rock from? Crumb? Me. Okay. Well, at some point while you're drinking tea and quilting, you accidentally knock it off a table and it falls to the floor and cracks.
It happened it cracked oh i look at it how so at the crack like do you pick it up do you just stare at it i'm picking it up okay it's a small stone yeah as you pick it up it kind of splits open what's inside it's a tiny amethyst it is treasure yeah.
