To Prove D&D Exists for Echolon

OOC: I try.  We'll see how long it sticks this time -_-

OOC: 🤞

OOC: I'm evidently not paying attention enough, I'm a little less engaged here than usual myself.  Work sorta expanded and it's an election year so tired a lot.  

OOC: I think everyone has been a bit distracted lately.

Tommary the Unworthy Performer of His Own Stunts figures out a way to rig things so he can Australian* repel to the surface of the water and see what he can see. 

Survival 21 and Perception 13

*Tenet Australia taught Tommary and a lot of the people in the Totally Real Fighting Circuit rigging including stuff like using your rigging to simply run down a vertical surface.  He hasn't worked since a near fatal vertical wall run into a horizontally positioned Wall of Force but members of the Totally Real Fighting Circuit give him a stipend derived from the circuit's earnings and contributions from freelancing windfalls.  it's one of the reasons Tommary the Unworthy does what he does.

 Tommary slides down a rope to the surface of the water. There is no buzz so presumedly the water is safe.

Glancing to the side he catches sight of a frog looking being at the edge of the light. It begins to make finger and hand motions at him.

*Wood you bring? Pay tomorrow*

*I don't think I have the wood you looking for. I lost.*

Toots messages Tommary “See anything?”

message "I think I'm talking to of those frog folk, might help if you get a gnome speaker down here."

 OOC: It is using Thieves" Cant.

message "never mind, they're just speaking slimy, I get it."

Messages: “Are they friendly?”

message "Not hostile, thinks I work with the lumberjack, or fungijack"

*Where is wood chopper?*
*You lost, need way out?*

Messages: “Well that’s a relief. The nonhostile part I mean.”

To the others Toots says “Tom’ry’s talking to one of the frog people down there, he says they’re not hostile, but they thinks Tom’ry works with Adukas.”

*woodchopper will be back, woodchopper chopping wood*

*Me and Team exploring, looking for lost things*

OOC: Tommary would likely have completely forgotten what they're looking for beyond "cool stuff" but if anyone wants to prompt his operator's memory, otherwise he may wind up with a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and stick of butter by the end of this exchange.

Tommary notices a few more of the creatures popping up. They are a rainbow of colors and they make chirping sounds to each other.

*What you lose?*

Tommary the Unworthy Negotiator blinks as if his eyesight is adjusting to the sudden spectrum of color, so as to by time for message Toots, "what are we looking for besides a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter?"

Toots messages Tommary: “We’re looking for the ingredients for Iron Sides Toast?* Hold up, lemme ask the others.”

Toots turns to the others and says “Tommary wants to know what we’re looking for, but I forget. What are we looking for again?”

 *(Iron Sides Toast is a recipe from the fortress citadel of Iron Sides, so named for the iron banding that reinforces the walls that were so crucial to the citadel’s defenses in the war against the demonic incursions. This simple recipe involves soaking slices of bread in a batter of milk and eggs before frying those slices in a hot buttered skillet. Iron Sides Toast is enjoyed many ways, sometimes sweet with fresh fruit or a variety of syrups, other times savory with a tart and salty tomato paste known locally as “catch-up.”)

OOC: Seriously, Yurei, ArwensDaughter, what the heck are we looking for again?

Tommary the Unworthy Diplomat Streetrat attempts to shrug communicate to the Frogger, *I think we might be looking for the Battleax of McGuffins? You know this?*
