After warning the local clergy of Pelor of a potent undead danger, she rewarded you with 3 bottles of holy water.
Then you spent some time communing with the spirit world and they localized the monster "somewhere in the wood"
However you are unsure if your abilities to track and survive in the wild, and thus you're thinking about recruiting help.

> Town map uploaded

An angry flash mob? So a group of people got together in a public place, started dancing spontaneously with elaborate choreography when a group of minstrels played an all-lute version of "Thriller", then murdered our master?

Talk about shitty luck.

- Raising Undead FAQ.
Being a necromancer you can seek help from the spirit world. They can assist you spiritualy or physically.
Phyiscal interference often take form into undead helpers. They will guard your life until they are no longer needed. Here what can be summoned from your knowledge

> Basic Skeleton (1+ HD)
A normal skeleton, without any gears or abilities

> Skeleton Warrior (3+ HD)
A humanoid skeleton raised with tattered armor, weapon, and shield.
The better the armor, the highest the cost.

> Skeleton Magi (1 HD/Teeth)
A humanoid skeleton infused with the spirit of a past spellcaster.
Each HD used for summoning add a single Teeth spell to its arsenal.

> Zombies
Rotten, slow, somewhat resistant, easy to raise. And not appreciated by normal folks.

>>13672745
Yea - that. With pitches, forks and torches. =P

Why don't we check out the Inn, and see if we can't find ourselves an Outdoorsman. A Hunter, Trapper, Ranger, etc.

And we should probably be covert about the news of the Flying Vampiric Head...

Can we have our familiar do a cursory fly-over of the woods?

We should think of a name for it too.

>>13672859
You decide to enter the Bear & Dagger inn. You have an inkling to why it is named such. But for now you try and keep it to business. The first floor is a tavern, built for travelers straying from the roads. The second floor is a inn. They're both managed by the same couple. Its a thriving business, and a lot of adventurers come for a drink here. Not that there's tons of troubles a-brewing in the region usually.

The orcs living in the plains are usually calm.

>>13672949
The woods are large. But you take note of it for later.

Also: Roll 1d20 +4 for Local Knowledge check

rolled 1 + 4 = 5

>>13673014
Rolling for local knowledge.

Let's talk to the innkeep, see if he's heard anything from travelers or lumberjacks about something in the woods.

Orcs? Lovely.

Also, i'm a newfag to this. Someone tell me how to dice roll?

>>13673066
You try to remember the story about that rogue who...
nope, can't remember anything.

You take a stool and wait for the innskeeper to notice you. Doesn't take too long, in fact.
"Hello Daerth! What is your poison?"
> Beer, Ale, Wine (red/white) or Cider?
"Anything else?"
"Information. I seek what would be an anomaly in the woods. The local spirits have been troubled lately. Heard anything of worth noting lately?"
"Trouble in the woods? I haven't heard anything of the sort. But maybe you should check their forest camp. Ask Minx over there, surely she can guide you."

The innskeeper points to a female half-elf sitting in the east-most table (north on the map).

>>13673072
dice+1d20 goes into the email field

>>13673072
dice+1d20 in the email field, I believe.

>>13673218
Jinx!

Forest Camp? I guess that's what the Campfire is on ye ol'e map...

>>13673208
Let's take cider for ourselves.
Also, what's Minx drinking? Get her another mug to break the ice. We ARE imposing on her after all.

Cider? Don't you think that might make us look... childish? Weak?

I suggest some wine.

>>13673291
Not at all! Cider can be strong and yet very refreshing.

Oh? Then pardon my ignorance. I was under a false assumption.

I second the notion for cider then. Along with a drink for the Half-Elven lass.

>>13673359
So. Cider for both, or Wine for you and cider for her?

I agree with the idea of I [the Necromancer] ordering Cider. We don't we ask the barkeep if he knows what the Half-Elf is drinking, before just giving her a random drink.

But, barring that, I say give her some ale. She seems like a tough la-- Nah, you know what. Scratch that. 2 Ciders sounds better.

>>13673377
2 ciders.

I have watched this quest go on for too long in silence. We are a necromancer. We need to start doing necromancer things such as building an undead army and constructing dark fortresses or towers. Also town folk should be regularly terrorized and killed to grow our armies.

>>13673471

> Your alignement is currently True Neutral

Necromancer's aren't all evil, bro.

Trust me, Anon. If we don't find out who slaughtered our Master, we might get to the Undead-rising that you wish for so badly.

But first thing's first. Find out who killed our Master. And for that, we must solve this mystery.

Also, there is a Half-Elf girl who isn't drunk yet, and we need information from her.

You order two glasses of cider (with local reduction, it cost you 1g), thank the barkeep, and walk to the half-elf's table.

After depositing the glasses on the table and sitting on the chair in front of her, she yawns a bit and tells you she's not "that kind of girl". You reassure her by telling you only came to talk business. You got her attention.

She takes a good look at you (you're in bone-wrought armor, remember?) and ask what is your profession. You barely replied an answer she has her falchion at the ready. "Not that kind of Necromancer!"
"Explain."
"Order of the silver flame. Less rising hordes of the undead, more keeping the spiritual world in balance."
"So..."
"More likely to hunt down any wild undead terrorizing the county. And that is why I'm here. This is my home village, and there's something in the woods."

You talk for a few minutes. You press on the emergency of the situation. Describe to her what was lurking in the mayor's house. A var-ghoul. She accepts to guide you - for a price.

> She wants her meals and night paid in full. And part of the reward once the job is done.
> You have 3.8g left.

>>13673471
You will be rising undead soonish. But not all necros are evil. They just can't be good.

>>13673522
Is there even a reward? Were we able to get that concession out of the mayor?

Also, since we're no longer in danger of being hunted down, someone throw 1d20 Local Knowledge

>>13673546
Logically, one would think alignment is irrelevant for necromancer's.

Lawful good? Using undead in societally beneficial ways, in a region that promotes it. Cheap labor, perhaps.

Chaotic Good? Using undead as a means to a necessary end. More bodies for the socialist rebellion.

etc etc

>>13673586
Yes - you will be able to negociate for a reward.

>>13673605
Myself I see them more hanging near the neutral alignements. Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral and Neutral Evil. Neutral Good would refuse to use raise dead. D:

rolled 17 = 17

>>13673592
Knowledge Roll.

Also, dinner and a night at the inn. 10% of the reward, 20% if she'll fight alongside us as well.

>>13673620
A good point, however:
"Creatures of this alignments see the cosmos as a place where law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, happiness, and prosperity to all deserving creatures. "
Wherein necromancy could be considered just another such tool. Does necromancy have some form of negative effect on the entity's soul or anything of that nature?

rolled 3 = 3

Knowledge Roll

>>13673635
You offer her 20% of the monetary reward if she fights along you. 10% to guide. She accepts. Minx joins as your cohort - she's a level 4 ranger.

You also remember that you left your life's savings at home in a hurry. Now might be a good time to fetch it.

>>13673679
Okay. Arrange to meet her in the morning, since we'll likely want to be at full power for this.
Pay for her room and board if we can afford it now, otherwise we'll have to square it with the innkeep tomorrow.
When we go home, we make sure to get our life savings.

>>13673653
For me, its not how you use them, but how you summon them. If you try and rip them from the afterlife unwillingly, and become their master, use them to terrorize, its evil.

If you seek help from the spirit world, and they're helping you keep balance against wild undeads and demonic hordes, they're neutral.

>>13673727
What, then, if some spirit communicated with you that it wanted you to help summon it to the material plane to further humanity? Like, necromancing the Emperor? Still neutral?

>>13673653
Well one explanation that I've seen used in dnd is that undead are animated using negative energy, and bringing more of it into the material world has a detrimental impact on things animated by positive energy (read: living things). Even if used for good, undead aren't as efficient a tool for good because of the side effects. In dire circumstances they might be worth it, but generally you're better off just recruiting living people, or summoning things that are not negative energy based.

>>13673774
this is only second hand, but I've seen on here before arguments that undead negative energy isn't inherently bad, just opposite. It's only negative in the same way the negative end of a magnet opposes the positive end.

But I could be wrong.

>>13673760
So long its not abused, and it is absolutely necessary.
Beside an emperor would prefer a ressurection.

>>13673792
Negative energy is "bad" for things animated by positive energy because of it's opposing nature. Negative energy harms living things, there is a reason why it's effects on the living are generally things like inflict spells, harm, ability damage/drain, and the like. Negative energy itself is not necessarily bad, but exposing living things to it is, and by creating undead in the material world you're doing exactly that.

>>13673830
> rampant use of "it's" when I meant "its"
Damn, I need sleep.

So, heading home to pick up our stash. Can we grab a robe or something? Walking around in the bone armour is probably bad for our PR and any attempt at not sticking out like a kkk guy in a black pride rally

>>13673717
You give her rendez-vous near Pelor's altar tomorrow morning. The village should be warded so everyone should be safe. Then you pay her room & board (1.5g) to the innskeeper, before heading home.

> It is dusk. When the spirit world's connection is strongest with the material plane. You should meditate and study for an hour.
> That cider was delicious.

was thinking about the cryptic ghost advice from the last thread, if my guess is right the holy water should be super effective against whatever is in the forest

>>13673916
We just meant, that might be a bit awkward to ask of her. Coin keeps this an impersonal business relationship, which is less creepy than suggesting that she comp home with us for the night.

>>13673857
It was your mentor's personal armor, that you helped enchant. You should feel proud wearing it. Its the equivalent of chain mail. And you're proficient (being part cleric)
.
>>13673908
>>13673921
You waste no time lifting the mattress and grabbing your life savings. (100g)
>>13673916
You are paying her room, not yours. You are sleeping at home.

Also, since you have free time, you spend an hour meditating and studying at home. Your link with the spirit world is refreshed.

>>13673964
pride vs. practicality

one gets you killed and the other does not

>>13673964
Was our raven familiar about to do a quick fly-over of the forest before dark?

>>13674012
Walking around unarmored gets you killed faster.
Let the good deeds do the talking.
Or the anonymous vote to switch uniform?

>>13674067
Not yet, you've decided to wait until you start tracking it.

Should we fast foward to the next day?

>>13674072
I am fairly sure I said to grab a cloak, not take our armour off. Unless it is the stuipidly pointy villan armour there should be no problem with wearing a cloak over top of it.

>>13674072
Getting a traveling cloak and robe to put on over the bone armor is probably a good idea if we plan on traveling, if Minx's reaction is any indication.

But that's something that can wait.
Yes, let's timeskip.
Oh, and converse with our master on tactics to use against var-ghouls, and things we need to be careful of.

>>13674122
You said robes, my bad I'm still in MMO-mode lol.

You wake up in your house the following day, without further accident.
It is early morning and the village was warded against supernatural threats thanks to you.
You quickly grab a black cloak from your wardrobe, place it in the backpack, then equip your armor.
Once you are ready, you head out to Pelor's temple to find Minx ready for you.

She ask you how you want to proceed.
> You're gonna use your familiar to scout overhead.
> You want her to track the varghoul and prevent getting lost.
> You want to reach the camp base and gather information there.
> ? Anything else ?

>>13674209
Combine 1 and 3.
Have our familiar do an aerial sweep of the forest and meet us at the camp.
Minx will lead us to the camp and we'll gather more information there.
Our golem should protect our flank.

Also, does our master have anything to say about var-ghouls? Or the local Pelor cleric?

>>13674209
we also need to watch for any other possible dangers in the forest, there may be creatures more dangerous ahead.

>>13674209
Just throwing it out there, our golem could become a shape that we could ride like a donkey instead of using our legs like a sucker.

>>13674226
You ask your mentor for tips.
He tells you that warding against paralysis can save lives.
And removing their ability to fly makes fighting var-ghoul much easier.

Minx asks you if you want to stock at the local store before heading out.

>>13674281
nah

>>13674281
Maybe a weighted net, if one is available?
We could use it to take the var-ghoul down.

As for preventing paralysis, I don't think we have a spell for that, and items to prevent it are a little out of our current buying power.

>>13674335
also get rope, it is always useful for something

A helmet so we don't get our head ripped off.

>>13674365
Indeed! Charlie Bronson's always got rope.

So, a net, rope, and a helmet?

I can agree to that. Let's go shopping.

You accept the offer and head into the general store.
You mostly see foodstuffs, a few rusty weapons and items, everyday utilities, and they even expanded into a magic section.

Here's what the shop has to offer:
Mundane items:
*Candles
*Bedroll
*Fishing Net
*Rope (Hampen)
*Shovel

Minor Potions
* Potion of Hide From Animals
* Potion of Cat's Grace

Medium Potions
* Potion of Heroism

Minor Scroll
* Arcane: Minor Image (@3rd); Gust of Wind (@3rd); Cat's Grace (@3rd); Magic Mouth (@3rd); Summon Swarm (@3rd); Silent Image (@1st);
* Arcane: Invisibility (@3rd); Keen Edge (@5th); Open/Close (@1st);

Minor Rings
* Protection +2

Minor Wands
* Invisibility

Minor Weapon
* Battleaxe +1
* Hand Crossbow +1

do we have boots? fairly sure we have some sort of leg armour but if we will be running around the forest it might be a smart move to get proper foot wear, if nothing else it should make us less likely to sprain an ancle or something like that

With only a 100GP, we can really only get the mundane stuff.

So a net, rope, and maybe the bedroll just in case?

>>13674487
Rope, shovel.

>>13674523
a fishing net wouldn't be the trap net I think you're imagining I don't think.

>>13674537
The village makes its trade with fishing, lumberjacking, and trading. Thats why you're seeing a fishing net here.

quests are not traditional games

saged, reported.

>>13674610
>quests are not traditional games
Do you have any idea, any idea at all, how much of a newfag you look like? Even after that sticky that was here for months? This is just pitiful.

>>13674487
Rope and shovel, and a good pair of boots.

>>13674610
collaborative storytelling is the oldest game of all and for many cultures was the ONLY tradition of any kind. So back off, no-fun-guy.

>>13674641
I agree. rope, shovel, and boots.

>>13674610
is this guy for real?

Allright. Two votes for rope and shovel. And some leather boots. Thats 3g. You also take a bedroll just in case. Also, the potions are affordable.

> You have 99g left.
> You have bought a shovel, rope, and some nice boots.

>>13674717
I don't know, guys. Do you think we might need the Potion of Heroism?
It's only one var-ghoul (we think), and we have effectively 3 combat-ready party members.

But we have no clerics or paladins with us, either.

>>13674761
We're kinda half-ish cleric. Think Mystic Theurge.
You, Minx, and Gumby, right?

Also the shop's list was randomly rolled. :)
> captcha: Pokémon ncients

Can we detect and mark for future reference any interesting corpses we come across? E.g. wolves (forest floor scouting), squirrels (treetops), eagles (in case the var-things try to fly too high up).

>>13674812
I'm for buying the Potion of Heroism. We don't know if the var-ghoul is just one, and our party is small enough that I'm worried.

With Detect Undead, yes.
Using your skull totem add 30 ft to the range.

>>13674898
One vote for heroism, need second to confirm. (50g)

>>13672726
I want you guys to check this map, and map a route.
Starting spot is west of the inn. Then you will roll a dice for each sector.

>>13674976
>>13674898
Seconding heroism

>>13674976
Here's my project path to the camp.

>>13675065
I am incredibly frustrated by the difficulty in just posting a picture and give up, but I am seconding this absolutely.

>>13674976
Here's the corrected route, since we're supposed to start west of the inn.

rolled 19, 12, 6, 3 = 40

>>13675269
So I think that's 4 sectors.
I assume it's a d20.

did Daerth die? d'aww

Maybe a ban?
Or just fell asleep at the keyboard?

My ISP died
we're back online guys

Gonna need another 4d20.

rolled 13, 11, 13, 19 = 56

hope this works

rolled 18, 8, 6, 16 = 48

>>13675776

>>13675789
Splendid. You've bought the heroism potion for 50g. It is added to your inventory.
> You get: Heroism potion

Then Minx guides you into the woods, avoiding the beaten path. After an half-hour the woods get thicker, and you got lost. It takes another half-hour to notice you went astray, and find the woodsmen camp.

The forest camp is located inside a rocky clearing, hidden deep within the forest. Long grass and rocks litter the fields around 30 feet in radius. The woodsmen has raised tents, there is animal skins drying, wood logs pilled into stack, and you can see the rest of a campfire. A burly man with a red beard greats the group.
"Ahoy! New arrivals!"

>>13675860
Also, what part of the map did you want the familiar to check?

trying to revive thread?

>>13675893
The raven should check the forest area north of the mayors house

Raven should scope out the woods north of the Mayor's house, and occasionally wing over the cemetery for a peak there.

>>13675979
by which I mean this.
Respond with hail fellow well met and ask about any strange sightings/foreboding shadows

>>13675979
There is four humans, 3 males and 1 female, working in the woodsmen's camp. The red-head bearded one seems to be the leader of the group. Minx is greeting him and presenting you. He ask you: "What can I do for ya!"

>>13676057
Sir, I am investigating a murder in town. It is imperitive that you tell me of *any* strange sightings you or any of your fellows have noticed in these here woods."

>>13676023
Roxar informs you that the camp was pretty peaceful lately. However he did notice an increased sighting of what he call creepers north east of the village. Bears and other wildlife are also common around here.

He ask you why. You reply there was an attack on the village, and you suspect the creature is hiding in the woods.

Roll Spot or Survival check.

rolled 17, 1 = 18

Spot and Survival. Ask what "creepers" are.

rolled 14, 4 = 18

dice

rolled 1, 6 = 7

rolling spot and survival

yeah, i'm just going to not roll from now on.

>>13676144
Roxar shifts nervously when you ask him what creepers supposed to be. He describe them as horrors in the wood, human-sized abominations with soulless black eyes that stalk those who walk into their domain. He pauses, and adds that even the best trackers have a hard time spotting and hearing them approach in the woods, so stealthy they are. A true nightmare for honest woodcutters and hunters.

You spot your familiar flying back toward the camp.
It is a cloudy day. There will probably rain today.

>>13676289
recieve familiar. Stay in camp until rain is over, and check with the other woodsmen.

>>13676343
I agree, but with an addendum: Place Alarm spells around camp. No sense in letting 'creepers' get the drop on us.

>>13676289
>>13676343
>>13676376

Additional addendum: flirt with Minx.

>>13676289
Moments later your familiar lands on your shoulder.
You mentally ask him of a resume of the region. From the raven's memory, he saw bears north of the woods, a hawk building his nest near the mayor's house, foxes near the village, and something akin to walking moss nearby the graveyard. Also, there was an eerie silence in the thickest forest, about half an hour north from the mayor's house.

You nod.

>>13676376
We have a shovel, we can just dig a hole and box ourselves in dirt for the night....

>>13676387
Second.

>>13676389
Ask our totem for some input. Investigating eerie silences seems a bit desperate.

>>13676391
short term benefit. Better to ingratiate ourselves to the woodsmen with the assurance of an early warning system, however temporary, so they'll be willing to assist us in the future.

>>13676391
And suffocate? Its not even night-time yet.
>>13676376
>>13676343
You thank Roxar and check out with the other woodsmen. They tell you more of the same but with one extra tidbit: Leeroy has been missing for a couple days now.
>>13676387
I will need a pick-up line, and a time to place it.

>>13676438
"That isn't Rigor Mortis. . . "

>>13676438
She's probably heard every possible play on her name, so let's avoid that.

>>13676469
That's awful.

Maybe we should stick to simple compliments if we're that bad at pick up lines and innuendo.

>Leeroy has been missing
This is a better lead. Ask about where exactly he was working, any strange behaviour. Maybe Minx will be able to track his trail.

>>13676499
Also, tell her we need her help to find us a man.

>>13676438
> Leeroy has been missing

Probably ran in first and got shredded by all the rookery whelps he pulled.

>>13676519
> Also, tell her we need her help to find us a man.

>>13676522
Thinking the same thing

>>13676469
oh god, I laughed.

Very well. You pick a tiny bell, attach a silver string to it. You inform Roxas you're gonna ward the area with an alarm as a reward for helping. You infuse the bell with silver light, and hand it over.
"Anything within 50 feet should trigger it. Unfortunately it only last 10 hours, but its better than nothing. The password is creeper."

>>13676499
You ask further information about Leeroy. He is the local hunter, as well as a good skinner. Kind of reckless, but good at spotting creepers.
Usually he hunt near the elven northwoods, but he is known to hunt for days near the mayor's house thickwood.

>>13676519
>>13676538
Heh, this is a pretty good one.

"I need you to help find me a man. Wait. What I meant to say, I mean, I'm not... Stop laughing!"

I'm assuming Minx knows we're a Necromancer.

Pickup technique: Keep rubbing our temples as if we have a headache. Look at her briefly. Mumble under our breath, sound a little annoyed. When she asks what's wrong, tell her "the ghost of our dead grandfather won't shut up about us asking her out on a date, and she's clearly too good for any of the crappy pickup lines he keeps shouting at us. Family. What'cha gonna do?"

>>13676569
> I'm assuming Minx knows we're a Necromancer.

She does. And I think we can go pretty easily do both your idea and >>13676564

>>13676569
Now this, will gives you a +10 to the roll.
Want to wait until you're alone in the woods to send it?

>>13676553
Again trouble in the mayor's northwoods. We have some exploring to do I guess. Over the top to avoid creepers

>>13676598
Sounds good.

Okay. You pack up your things with a destination in mind. I want you guys to roll 3d20 on Survival Check.

rolled 3, 19, 14 = 36

>>13676619
Dice.

rolled 19, 19, 12 = 50

How can this go wrong?

>>13676625
Damn, really wish you had posted just a little bit sooner.

>>13676623
Okay... I'm going to need a spot check and a listen check.

rolled 18, 3 = 21

>>13676656
spot, listen, go!

>>13676661
You spot perched on a tree a miniature housecat-sized dragon with fine indigo scales, sharp horns and a tail tipped with a barbed stinger. It looks fairly intelligent, and watch you with interest.

Minx informs you the creature as a pseudodragon. Its fairly inoffensive as long you do not provoke it.

>>13676686
Hmm, though we already have a familiar, pseudo dragons are decently useful. Let it follow us if it wants to.

>>13676686
Intelligent enough to speak? Open dialogue concerning th e wood's inhabitant. Offer it some rations as an opening gift on Minx's approval.

>>13676707
I think they are, but like most draconic creatures it's rather arrogant and will want to approach on its own terms I think.

Not sure, ask Minx.

>>13676686
You keep following Minx in the woods, leaving the Pseudodragons behind. A quick idea germinate in your mind and you groan loudly, rubbing your template as if you had a headache. "Rigor Mortis, really?" Minx ask you what's wrong...

"The ghost of our dead grandfather won't shut up about us asking her out on a date, and she's clearly too good for any of the crappy pickup lines he keeps shouting at us. Family. What'cha gonna do?"

Diplomacy roll.
(Also: Spot)

>>13676707
>>13676726
Pseudodragons are intelligent, though they can't speak common due to physical limitations. They can, however, communicate telepathically.

rolled 6, 17 = 23

>>13676732
Diplomacy and spot coming right up.

>>13676726
As intelligent as a human, extremely loyal, cunning. . .

Basically, think of a small intelligent creature with the personallity of a housecat.

>>13676743
Well, you never specified which one was which...

17 diplomacy?

Yeah, we probably can't get away with that. Oh well.

We should've made friends with the pseudodragon. We should not the position come back in this direction if it is convieneient.

> She rolled high on sense motive, you rolled low. Even with your best pick up line, she saw right into the bluff.

It wasn't for nothing tho, you received a smile.
(Listen Check!)

rolled 17 = 17

>>13676769
What is in my ears?

rolled 6 = 6

>>13676769
Listen

>>13676772
A terrible hiss from behind.

Roll for reflex save

rolled 7 = 7

>>13676800

rolled 3, 1, 1, 5 = 10

>>13676800
Dice roll for damage

>>13676807
Well, thankfully the dice seem to hate EVERYONE.

>>13676807
You haven't even had time to react that the creature self-destructed into a large bang. You barely had a side-glance, and the resulting explosion left a nice crater in the brush. Both of you were caught unaware, but at least you're still breathing.

Those must be the creepers.

>>13676816
Before anything else, scan for anymore instant threats. Then count up our healing capabilities.

>>13676825
You check around if there's any immediate threat, willing as a closer guard. You find nothing in the vicinity. You make a mental note as to be more aware of your surroundings.

You two were afflicted with minor burns and deep scratch from the explosion. You may call upon the spirit world to heal, but they have little healing power.

You notice Minx unclogging a medium healing potion she took from her belt. You sign her to wait... you should be able to heal light wounds with ease.

>>13676825
If the immediate danger is passed, apologize to Minx for distracting her and hitting on her when we should have been on the lookout for threats.

Where's our golem? Dude needs to be watching our backs.

Sstart with the cure light wounds. Make sure the golem didn't break.

>>13676875
Also, isn't our raven back now?

Speaking of which, does it need a name?

>>13676894
I vote for Corvus.

>>13676894
We should call him Kabrok.

>>13676897
I vote for Corvil

>>13676908
> raven
> name him Kabrok

What you did there.
I see it.

rolled 1, 4 = 5

>>13676875
Gumby is stuck walking head-first against a trunk. A glitch in the Golem's Intelligence. You find it hilarious.
He was unaffected by the blast, the tree took most of it.

>>13676891
You restore most of the wounds with ease. Minx raises an eyebrow at you. You explain that the living and the death shares a thin, ethereal bond and you've learned to mend that path.

You also apologize for distracting her.

>>13676942
Adjust pants. Exhale. Take a drink of water. Continue journey.

Allright guys. It is 6:30. Lets wrap this up.
4d20 please.

rolled 4, 9, 6, 18 = 37

>>13677019

>>13677026

Ugh.

Spot Check. Now.

rolled 15 = 15

>>13677038
Spot.

>>13677041
You won't get caught by the same thing twice. You clearly see the creature, camouflaged near bush. Its a creeper, its ugly, and its looking at you. It is about 30 feet away, and you have the initiative this time around.

Time to get even.

>>13677057
Open fire with bone teeth.
We should remember to pick up any sulfur it drops

>>13677057
You will your clay golem into an intercept course, while summoning ivory teeth to strike your opponent. Minx draws an arrow and let it loose upon the abomination with terrible precision. The creeper started hissing its deadly charge when your golem slammed all his weight on its side...

3d6 → [5,6,6] = (17)

The assault was too much for the creature and that hiss was its last. It drops dead on the side, and in its death throw its mass seems to wither to nothingness, but if a few lumps of solid gray mulch. And it smells like sulfur.comp

Arcane Knowledge roll

rolled 7 = 7

>>13677119
AK

>>13677129
The remains are probably spell component. You pick up what you can.
> You get 3x creeper parts.

Well guys, that's it for tonight. See you tomorrow for this chapter's conclusion.

rolled 3 = 3
