Group A chapter 3 Stone cast shadows

LDDragon · September 12, 2023

Sorena emerges, with Sweet Tooth questioning who they are.

Banana rubs his arm where he was wounded, then suddenly rushes over to Sorena and pushes her against the wall, weapon to her throat.

Omolara tells Banana to release her, and asks what she is doing here.

Banana releases her, asking Sorena to get rid of her mask, with Trouble comforting him.

Sorena reveals that she cannot do as requested, as it appears to be burned onto her.

Sweet Tooth introduces herself and asks what fighting position the newcomer would usually take.

Mac requests Banana to chill.

Sorena introduces herself.

There is buzzing from the south as the surviving bee flees off into the distance. There are several papers on the walls, depicting passages going to the southwest, south or southeast, including what appears to be a dead end, marked with a question mark, between the south and southeast passages.

This specialized cream serves as a repellent to stave off insects. The repellent also binds with a number of common insect venoms, dulling the potency and giving the wearer's immune system a boost to resist venoms. Once applied to your skin, the repellent grants you an item bonus to Fortitude saving throws against poisons for 4 hours. In addition, any arthropods (insects, spiders, scorpions, crabs, and similar invertebrate animals) must attempt a Will save when attempting to attack you with a melee Strike, or with a swarm attack such as the spider swarm's swarming bites. The arthropod then becomes temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Critical Success The creature can act normally.
Success The creature is frightened 1.
Failure The creature is frightened 2.
Critical Failure The creature is frightened 2 and fleeing.

The papers tacked to the walls provide sketches of the passages to areas C2, C3, and C4. The passage between areas C3 and C4 appears on one of the maps with a portion of the wall circled with a question mark

Looking between the newcomer, Banana, and the passage the surviving bee disappeared into, Mac steps over to he passage and guards it, readying himself to strike anything that might come out of the tunnel.

He then waits and hopes Banana has something to say about 'all this'.

Lex Samreeth · September 12, 2023

Banana moves to stand next to the passage, readying his staff for a heavy strike.

"Yes. My full name is Stalwart Banana Tree. And yes, I have had a bad experience with Hellknights. But that is a story for a calmer time. Now, that bee is under a compulsion, so it will likely try to come back."

Meanwhile, Trouble is busy poking at the newcomer's armor, scrambling up her form to take a closer look at where the mask has fused itself with her visage.

"<How do you eat with that thing stuck to your face?>"

"Trouble, leave her alone."

Thura thoughtfully looks at Sorena. "Banana is not the only one who has grievances with Cheliax. But for now, you are the enemy of our enemy, and that's good enough for me."

Omolara had no idea what a Hellknight was but, since Banana had calmed himself, that question could wait. Easing around the dividing wall, she moved to a spot directly across from the opening. Drawing her bow back, she held the next arrow ready for whatever might emerge.

Sorena Ortho - Traitor to Cheliax

image.png.73e99a978c4b7df994947632c26cbd7a.png

Sorena looked back and forth between the Gnoll and the feathered Lizardfolk, though the mirrored half mask meant that only her left eye was visible. That eye was a dark brown, utterly average looking if she were among her people, panning back and forth carefully. Eventually it locked on Banana's familiar, steady and evaluating. No one was challenging her right to be there, so she was able to keep a level head.

“I fight on the front.”

She said at last, finally answering Sweet Tooth's question.

"So I'll bleed first, talk later."

She didn't sound bothered, Chelish pride at last manifesting as she moved to step next to Mac, and as she did something changed. A spark appeared in front of her, then a burning ember. On its own, it stretched and grew, a searing hot piece of forge iron the size of a small knife where before it had been no more than a mote. It kept growing, and as it did two more joined it, one on each side. They sang as they grew, the sound of viciously hot metal warping and vibrating as it cooled. There was a sizzle, and the glowing heat left each blade. They had grown the about the size of a short sword, still hovering half an arm's length in front of her. She was not touching the mysterious iron, merely holding out her left hand as if her will alone was enough to hold the three in place. In truth, it was, the still searing hot metal obeying her will. The iron had lost its glow, but if the little flickers of flame that emerged from each were any indication, they would still burn.

"You first, or me?"

She asked the Beastkin.

Watching with some fascination as the new arrival ('Sorena' wasn't it) summoned her swords 'out of thin air', Mac also gets a closer look at her face and only now realises that that half mask seems to have fused with the flesh of her face. So that's conjuration in action... and what happens when you get it wrong?!

With a short glance at the others, Mac shrugs and steps aside.

"Sorena was it? Okay dude, you can take point. I'll be right behind you."

Sweet Tooth watched the strange knight summon a sword, and apparently a whole forge and was glad that a few of her fellows were between them. She had been in a forge before and a spark had singed her fur and had her yowling and hopping like a mad frog. She didn't want to repeat that! Instead she shook herself and took up her position near the rear.

"Follow that bee, and keep your eyes open, we don't know how many are in here, or what else might be!"

TheRaconteur · September 16, 2023

Sorena Ortho - Traitor to Cheliax

Sorena nodded, taking the lead with her summoned forgeiron raised high before her like one might raise a shield.

"Very well."

She was some sort of ferromancer, it seemed, though what was difficult to discern. Something new, something strange. Whatever it was, she wasn't quiet, her conjured armor clanking and screeching as she stomped down the hallway.

Map

Mac moves to guard the passage.

Banana introduces himself, while Trouble scrambles up and attempts to get a closer look at her mask, with Banana telling the pugwampi to leave her alone.

Thura comments that Sorena is the enemy of their enemy, so that will suffice for now.

Omolara prepares an arrow in case of enemies.

Sorena moves to the frontline and queries whether she goes first, or Mac.

Mac indicates for her to go first.

Sweet Tooth takes up a position near the back, cautioning for people to be alert.

Sorena advances, leading the group forward.

C3. Massive Mushroom
This large, irregular cavern has moisture dripping down the walls and a narrow tunnel leading up to the north. A large, blue, glowing mushroom faintly illuminates the space.

It’s roughly the size and width of a dwarf. The mushroom has plainly been gnawed at a bit.

Noises can be heard from the southwest.

C1. Staging Room Low 3

The wooden wall panels in this long, low room have been broken apart in four places to reveal narrow passages burrowed into the stone. The railing which spans the walls and the low rail in the middle hint that this room once served as a dance studio. Several desks have been relocated here with a few books and papers; more papers nailed to the wood near each entrance feature hastily sketched maps.

C2. Wet Hollow
Both of the southwestern tunnels from area C1 descend steeply into this room, as does the tunnel from area C3. The room has several puddles of murky, standing water. Some type of crustacean is mostly submerged in one of the puddles; most of the creature’s head is missing.

Sweet Tooth followed along, looking at the mushroom from a distance.

"Unless it is a mushroom that attacks, I say ignore it for now! We have insects to slay!"

Even so, she tried to remember what type of mushroom it was.

Sorena Ortho - Traitor to Cheliax

Sorena had been on countless rangings when she had served under Hellknight Arcadi, and had been taught well the signs to track. Her gaze was locked downward, searching for some evidence of their quarry, and it took her far longer than she’d have cared to admit that the creature they sought could fly. She shook her head, chastising herself silently for wasting her time looking for footprints in the dirt, and instead raised her gaze (and her conjured defenses) upward.

“South then?”

She asked, pointing with her free hand towards the Southern Tunnel. She still bore no weapon, but considering she could conjure searing forgeiron from nothing, it seemed unlikely that she would need one.

"Sometimes mushrooms do attack," Omolara noted idly as she studied the glowing fungus.. "But I doubt an umbo would be sitting quietly next to a hive of giant bees."
