“Yes Frangipani , why don’t you lead our first day.”
the paladin looks at the group ,” we have a lot of talents that can aid us in this strange environment.”
Lir consults with Frangipani [gives the help action/adv to wisdom check].
( North. Wisdom Check- 20 + Guidance 3 if Nature then +2 )
( Survival: 13 )
( Supplies- Cast Create Water before setting out, gather in leaves and fill water flasks, containers etc. Druidcraft to ripen found fruit, open seedpods and grow edible flowers. Animal Friendship for any grumpy wildlife we come across)
You make your way north through the dense jungle at a slow pace so you can remain observant of your surroundings.you make it approximately 6 miles through amazing plants of various kinds you have never encountered before. Long hanging vines, gigantic fern like bushes and sweet smelling flowers.
14
So far you have heard the sounds of many varieties of birds and the calls of other creatures but have seen none of them. The sun is now at middays height and the drizzling rain has stopped. The temperature seems to be increasing.
[We don't really have any containers besides our flasks. A lot of that water will be wasted. It would be seriously heavy anyway.]
"So, tell me again, why's yer goddess care about our little group? Is it strictly because yer with us?"
Bjorn summons his weapon as a machete to help cut a path. "More interesting than the road to Mirabar, but it's getting a bit hot out, isn't it?"
Lir creates a spontaneous light shower to refresh and cool down the party, for the duration of ten gallons of water.
Create Water. You create up to 10 gallons of clean water within range in an open container. Alternatively, the water falls as rain in a 30-foot cube within range, extinguishing exposed flames in the area.
“Thank you Lir”
”I see now why two Druids are better than one. Between you and Frangipani, we may get through this jungle!”
Sparhawk smiles and washes his face and sticky clothing.
During the first day, Sparhawk tries to understand why Bjorn charmed him.
He agrees that the book could provide evidence for Irongrass about Abernaths death, but feels it is too powerful to be used.
“Power corrupts, my friend. I like you too much for you to get involved with that accursed book.”
Sparhawk will use genuine kindness and understanding as is his way. Not judgement nor anger to try to win Bjorn back.
10 you work your way through the trees, large clusters of roots over both soft and hard ground. Large boulders crop up occasionally, remnants from volcanic erupts centuries past.
After another 6 miles (approximately 3 hours) you come upon a small clearing where you spot your first large beasts. There are 14 of these giant lizards grazing on tall grass and palm fronds along with 6 younger versions. The large ones seem wary as they eat. They are only about 50 ft away, your presence masked by the trees and heavy brush.
Lir, Frangipani?, Sparhawk speaks quietly
”they look like non meat eaters”
”I would think something hunts these?”
“Bjorn, the Moonmaiden primarily asks her followers to show acceptance and tolerance. She also teaches us self-reliance and that we should aid others when we are able. Part of my training was learning some divine magics that can provide us food and shelter. They take some preparation which is why I can’t do it all today. I would hope that you might have a little faith in my capabilities after all this time.”
Hnh. If something does, maybe they'd choose these over us. Skirt around so we can dash toward them if needed?
“Good idea my always insightful friend”
we try to skirt around them.
" Horse-things are big but don't look dangerous...except maybe if you hurt young ones."
' Walk past quiet, keep moving."
Lir nods in deference.
"Well, tie me legs together an' call me a mermaid, that's actually amazin'."
He gives some lukewarm defense that sometimes in the heat of the moment, one has to take drastic measures. "Otherwise ye might have done something that got us all in even more trouble." (Bjorn will unfortunately waste his night watch trying to read from the book if nobody's awake.)
"Hmm. So are ye saying she ain't actually with us? Just yerself?" He gives the cleric a jovial slap on the back. "Think I like that better, in fact. Never met a god I prefer to the company of a real livin' person."
Bjorn doesn't know what to say about these dinosaurs. He's visibly intimidated by the sheer size and number of them, and isn't quite convinced they don't eat people, as they clearly could if they wanted to!
Next morning, we reassess our position by climbing trees, then head north again, keeping the volcano at 2pm when we can. Slow pace again
