Extension (Conan 2D20 V3.6 09302018) loaded.
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
In our last episode, the intrepid adventurers bid Edgarth a fond farewell and headed north. They were sidetracked by the discovery of some spectral ghosts that seem to have been trapped forever in a time loop. They then went north and found a collection of animals lounging near the edge of the river. Slumbara evidently decided he wanted turtle soup and stabbed one, only to have it fall back in pain. He is now menaced by a group of marching turtles, some overhead avians clutching rocks, and some lizards infalting air sacs as if to launch nasty gooey projectiles at him.
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Slumbara suddenly gets the sense that these creatures are not mere food sources, but are in fact members of a complex animal society, just like those from the ancient folklore of his people... Zootopia.
Slumbara: Remembering the stories from his childhood about the customs of these feral societies, Slumbara performs a beastly dance of detaunt to befriend the creatures and apologize for mistaking them for food. And also to offer his services as a killer for hire and skilled tubist.
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Slumbara: [1d20 = 9]
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Meltam Perandus: (Sorcery Roll) Oh Gracious Rhiveth, can'st thou teach me the language of animals?
Bird: Linguistics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 4 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 2]
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 21]
Volmalric: Alchemy 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 20]
Volmalric: [1d20 = 2]
Kazemi (Volmalric): WOAH Four successes in Alchemy
Volmalric quickly mixes together a STRONG substance, determined to fire it upon Slumbara to cover him and make him less appetizing and/or utterly unpalatable. He loads one of his containers onto the end of an arrow and takes aim
Volmalric: Ranged Weapons 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Volmalric is distracted by Slumbara's attempts to get eaten, and his shot does not go true
A hastily created arrow flies past Slumbara and strikes a turtle on the shell, inflicting no damage but covering it in a noxious smelling goo that causes several creatures nearby to gag.
Slumbara produces a stack of business cards from his belt while dancing and begins "making it rain" business cards
Meltam Perandus takes note of the situation. It dones't appear as fatal as it was.
Slumbara: No Volmalric, do not shoot them with stink arrows
Slumbara: This is only a misunderstanding
Slumbara: Slumbara will resolve this through the power of dance
Volmalric: Getting yourself eaten does not count as a resolution!
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Slumbara: Resistance 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 31]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 13]
A large plumed bird of a type you have never seen before (but are welcome to make Lore checks, it looks like a vulture with peacock plumage) lands just beyond Slumbara's striking range and gives him a beady stare.
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 8]
Meltam Perandus: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 38]
Tack (Meltam Perandus): It's Toucan Sam!
The turtles form up behind the large bird, and the lizards pauze (i.e. hold their action) to see what everyone dones next.
Meltam Perandus: Resistance 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 29]
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 37]
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Meltam Perandus: [1d20 = 10]
Meltam Perandus: Deliah! Volmalric! Watch your footing!
Slumbara bows to the big bird and continues his dance
Volmalric makes a quick jump towards Meltam
Volmalric: Acrobatics 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 14]
Meltam Perandus: Acrobatics Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 4]
The bird considers Slumbara's actions for a second, then points a wing at Volmalric and Delia and the injured turtle.
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara: Rolling to understand the bird's meaning
Slumbara: Slumbara knows just what to do
Slumbara puts away his sword, puts on his glasses, and tends to the inexplicably injured turtle (whom he definitely didn't stab)
Slumbara: Healing 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 11]
The bird watches very carefully as Slumbara and carefully advances towards the turtle, and drawing upon his extensive knowledge of Animal Handling and working with domesticated bovines...somehow manages to miracously heal all the damage he did to a snapping turtle.
The turtle gives him a very angry look, but seems disinclined to attack immediately. The lizards look rather perturbed at this point and launch large globs of flaming spit into the river before resuming their previous planned afternoon sunbathing nap.
Slumbara hands the turtle a business card
Slumbara: Greetings bird, I am Slumbara
Slumbara: these are my friends Volmalric and Lady
Slumbara gestures to Volmalric and Delia
The ground near the rest of the group stops moving around and a number of golden retriever sized scorpions claw out of the ground and give you angry stares before sucttling off.
(scuttling)
Meltam Perandus: Stealth 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 21]
GM: Okay, Slumbara has successfully not died. Somehow.
Volmalric: By Mitra's name...
Slumbara: I am sorry for trying to eat your turtle friend, I am sure it was all Meltam's fault somehow, but Slumbara has not figured out how yet
Slumbara: He must have tricked Slumbara. He is very good at trickery
The bird gives the group a stare. Meltam tries to hide by standing behind a tree. A monkey in the tree drops a large overripe Durian on him, the thorny bits do not hurt, but it explodes rather impressively and covers him in a thick and noxious smelling goo. So no one can currently "see" him, but everyone (except the turtle covered in Volmalric's goo) can smell him.
The turtle covered in goo goes down to the water to rinse itself off.
Slumbara laughs at Meltam
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Meltam Perandus: I still smell better than you, savage!
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 4 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 3]
Slumbara: Unlikely, Slumbara is taking a bath as we speak
Meltam Perandus: You win again.
The bird begins scratching at the ground with a claw.
Meltam Perandus: I'mma enjoy the complex flavor of this rare fruit.
Meltam Perandus: Discipline Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Feneril (Slumbara): Jackfruit >> durian. IMO
Tack (Meltam Perandus): (Just to not gag at the smell)
The rest of the animals warily calm down, but watch you very closely. You suspect TPK is still entirely possible.
Slumbara examines the bird's scratches
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Volmalric heads down to take a look at the scratches as well, knowing Slumbara can't read
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Slumbara is entirely certain the bird is sharing a pictographic representation of the best damn chili con carne recipe the world will ever see.
Meltam notices that Volmalric is staring at bird scratches, once he cleans the Durian juice out of his eyes.
Meltam Perandus: Linguistics Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 33]
Slumbara: Linguistics 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 34]
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Volmalric: Linguistics 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 5]
Volmalric: Oh, yeah. I remember this from my second year at Bird Law School
Slumbara: Volmalric becomes an expert in Bird Law
Volmalric scratches something down into the ground, three lines. He points to the first line, then Slumbara, the second, then to himself, and the third to Meltam
The bird nods in understanding.
Volmalric scratches more into the dirt to the side
Delia finds a not-overripe Durian and begins munching on it while sitting in the grass near the group and not contributing to this encounter.
Volmalric pauses, then writes another line.
Volmalric: "He apologizes and wishes to befriend you"
Plumaged Bird nods in understanding to the strange scratchings Volmalric is making.
Volmalric: Okay, so
Meltam Perandus: Tell us, Birdspeaker.
Volmalric: I'm going to ask them for assistance
Meltam Perandus: Preist of Mitra is friend to, and speaks to birds. Not surprised. =D
Volmalric pauses in his writing
Volmalric makes a horrified look
Meltam Perandus: I wonder what animal Slumbara answers to, honestly.
Volmalric: Don't drink from the river
Volmalric: Wait
Slumbara: Slumbara's spirit animal is a horse
Volmalric looks mroe closely
Slumbara: But Slumbara is friend to all animals
Meltam Perandus: You just tried to skewer and stew one.
Volmalric: Slumbara, they said you can probalby kill the Crocodile King easiest from the inside
Slumbara: Hmm, are you sure? I thought it was a recipe for chilli
Slumbara: Is the crocodile king smart like them?
Slumbara: Or dumb like food
Volmalric: Mmm
Volmalric relays Slumbara's question
Volmalric: So, I have good news and bad news
Volmalric: The good news is that I know where all of these are now
Volmalric: The bad news is that they're particularly deadly, in the "Slumbara might not get close to them" sorta way
Slumbara: It is ok, Slumbara has a plan
Volmalric shivers at the description
Slumbara: Perhaps Slumbara, slayer of men would not be able to get the fang of the crocodile king, but "Slumbara: destist of reptiles" can make a housecall for an extraction
Slumbara: Slumbara has demonstrated excellent reptile medical skills
Meltam Perandus: Yeah that's a fantastic idea. Let;s poor sugar into the river so they all get cavitities and need a dentist.
Volmalric: The crocodile is upstream
Volmalric: The bat is downstream
Meltam Perandus: In fact, let's put some pop rocks in there too for good measure.
Volmalric: The dragon is...surrounded by mist that, mmmm
Volmalric: "Rends the soul"?
Slumbara: The crocodile has probably never brushed his teeth, I am sure he needs a dentist
Volmalric: The crocodile's previous meals may also have its discarded teeth
Volmalric: An easy find
Volmalric: Oh, also, the Bat's scream kills people
Meltam Perandus: So we get all the bees to give us wax, and we fill our ears with it. Seems to bee a good solution.
Volmalric writes down another thing for the bird
Slumbara: Slumbara has been thinking about how to make the dragon cry. Slumbara has written this one-act play about a dragon who has a child out of wedlock with her forbidden lover, but then the child dies
Slumbara: It is very sad
Meltam Perandus: Since you've befriended animals via the bird, why not use a skunk to make the dragon cry?
Slumbara hands Meltam and Volmalric scripts
Slumbara: Volmalric, you will play the lover. Meltam, you shall play the child
Plumaged Bird is carefully considering everything being said and seems to have a hard time not laughing.
Volmalric glances down at what was written on the parchment
Meltam Perandus: Linguistics Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 31]
Volmalric: Is this the blood of the last set of cave dwellers we fought?
Volmalric: When did you write this?
Slumbara: When you were talking to that weird man
Slumbara: I was covered in blood, was easy to use as ink
Meltam Perandus: I find your writing style brisk and refreshing, truly an original work in the over-crowded area of dragon fiction.
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 24]
Slumbara: I used a finger-bone as a quill
Slumbara: Linguistics 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 30]
Volmalric drops the human skin like a hot potato
Slumbara: Persuade 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 20]
Meltam Perandus: Discipline Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Volmalric: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 13]
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: making a story declaration
Volmalric and Meltam are shocked to discover that Slumbara has actually successfully written a dirty limerick in Aquilonian.
Meltam Perandus: I totally agree, Sir Slumbara. This play will undoubtedly re-kindle long lost, painful memories, evoking a certain pathos within the long dead dragon.
Slumbara: Volmalric, I can see you are skeptical
Meltam Perandus: Wait....this isn't even good erotic poetry!
Slumbara: If you don't like the script, you can improvise your lines
Slumbara: Slumbara used to be part of an improvisational dramatic troupe
Slumbara: It is how I ended up in Aquilonia after I left home
Meltam Perandus: The only thing you know how to improvise is weapons, not prose!
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Slumbara: [1d20 = 16]
Meltam Perandus: But the concept of the plan is sound
Slumbara: Slumbara can accept studio notes on the script
Meltam Perandus: If we could only actually capture and make dramatic whatever history this poor undead thing has had to endure, surely it will tear up.
Slumbara: I may throw up while trying to say this, but good... *HURK* idea
Slumbara: Volmalric, does the bird know any juicy details from the dragon's past?
Slumbara: Perhaps before it was undead?
Slumbara: When it was young and free and full of teeth
Meltam Perandus: Mighty, high histories, of an age before even that of Atlantis, when the dragons had high civilizations and magic beyond even their ken.
Volmalric: Ah, his name is...I think it's pronounced Malack? He does not know anything of the dragon, nobody survives contact with it
Slumbara: Then we will have to improvise
Volmalric laughs
Volmalric: Neither do I, but we shall find a way. I apologize for the hassle my companion gave.
Slumbara: Slumbara is not sure about one thing though, why is your bird-friend helping us?
Slumbara: Is the crocodile king their enemy as well?
Volmalric blinks for a few moments
Volmalric: They want to have an orgy with you, Slumbara
Slumbara: Cool
Volmalric: An orgy of violence
Slumbara: But why are they helping us though?
Volmalric: I'll work out the details
Meltam Perandus: There's only room in this river for one set of animals then?
Volmalric: He is a particularly capable warrior. Would it be possible to pit him against the Crocodile King, Bat Demon, and Undead Dragon as payment? Three trials to atone?
Volmalric: Okay, they'll let us pass through the land provided we do not antagonize them. I think that means we'll be vegetarians for the next little while
Volmalric: They are willing to let Slumbara to atone for the injury he caused the turtle by fighting the dragon, bat, and crocodile.
Slumbara: Slumbara can accept that
Volmalric: As opposed to filling all of his orrifaces with centipedes while he sleeps, so this is an improvement
Slumbara: Well, that does sound tempting
Slumbara: but I don't think we have time for that
Campaign saved.
