Temple of Ishassara

Liam's WisSave: 20

Chubby's WIS save: 8

We're goners.  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

E4 and E5, humanoid looking yuan-ti with snakes for arms walk calmly over to Nia and Chubby. They gently take your shoulders and sink two fangse deep into Nia’s neck and Chubby’s wrist. You both feel your vision begin to blur before quickly going dark and you blank.

E6 and E7 I think realise that Liam is not going to give in by will, so they attack! They both too, have war paint over their body and snakes for arms. They attack by lashing out with their snake flails, their numerous fangs biting into you;

E6: 20 Damage: 4 if hit; 9 poison damage.

E7: 7 Damage: 4 if hit; 6 poison damage.

Liam is up.

Wait, no, Liam isn’t up as I believe that KO’s him.

Just as Liam is becoming overwhelmed by these barbaric folk of his own kin, and as Nia and Chubby’s vision is going black, you all think about the adventure you have had together.

Liam frantically attempts to fight off the pit masters. He locks eyes with his sister in a moment of sheer frustration, anger and terror. Chubby looks over at Crispy and Gregor, both slumped against each other at the base of a large, vine covered tree. The mix of poison, magic and heat makes you feel sick to your stomach as the world begins to spin. The sound of y our heart beats fill your ears as you hit the ground and as you hit the ground, you see something. You see the Yuan-ti spring in to action once again. Writhing around on the ground, you look up, and see a tall figure with dark, greeny brown skin, covered in leaves all over riding ontop of a large, formidable white tiger. It roars ferociously as more of these camoflauged figured emerge from the surrounding foleage... and your vision goes black.

You all wake. All five of you, within one large bamboo holding cell. You seem to be in a dark hut, covered in large jungle leaves. You’re all tightly bound in vines and your equipment has been taken from you. Your hands are tied to the bamboo bars and your feet and knees together. What do you do?

Chubby will act like he’s still asleep, but listen intently to what going on around him.

Perception check: 19

NAT20!

If Chubby perceives the ‘coast is clear’, he’ll attempt to brute force break the bindings: 18

Athletics Check on the condition chubby says coast is clear to break bounds: 21

 Don’t mean to step over anyone else’s move, but Chubby will take the next opportunity to walk over to Crispy and break her free:  20

 “The coast is clear, everyone. But let’s be quiet as a cave mouse.”

On the condition that the coast is clear and that Gregor and chubby break the bonds (that’s a mouthful) to break Nia’s bounds: 26

(Damn Gregor and Chubby are on a manly man streak right now)

Jesus Christ this is all happening so fast. Yeah! You guys ****en nail it, brute strength never looked so good as you both, bare handed snap the still green vines which were holding your team mates. The vines writhe and curl up as you break them, allowing you to walk freely around in the cage.

Chubby, you can hear voices just outside the tent, and soft, patrolling foot falls.

I’ll whisper ever so quietly to the rest of the group that I detect someone is coming. Chubby will then go back and wrap some vines around his wrists, making it look like he’s still tied up. 

Nia, still a little groggy, also pretends to still be tied up. Under the cover of her hair, her eyes are narrow and angry.

Liam comes to, his head throbbing, and makes no effort to move until he's sure of his condition.

"GRMPH-!"

Crispy awakes with a sharp muffled squeal - Chubby has to cover Crispy's mouth, her first instinct is a combination of anger, surprise, and fear. She see's Chubby's face, and she immediately calms down. He takes his hand off her mouth, and raises his hand, making motions and symbols to explain the situation, something he learned long ago, something Crispy used to do with him to communicate something important when they were in a sticky situation but still had to explain things. He remembered all the secret signs, and so did she.

She nods in comprehension, and looks over at the others, and at the situation. Everyone looks ok. Her face softens, and she smiles - truly grateful that Chubby and Nia came to help, but annoyed that they were captured because of her. She takes a moment to thank the Hells that she wasn't dead, or didn't get the others killed in her attempt to find Gregor, but happy that she was close to her friends again.

And Liam, she supposed.

Ah, shit. She thinks. Where's my stuff...?

Liam: 

 You hear scuffling feet outside before the tent leaf opens. Three armed guards which look like living trees enter with wooden spears and bark like skin. Following them, enters a beautiful, elegant druid. With similar physical properties to an Elf, this excuisite human being radiates a mix of power and authority- but also kindness and warmth. She has silvery, long hair down to her waist, tanned olive skin and sports a corset looking armour made from leaves and bark. Long, silky transparent drapes hang from her waist and shoulders and flow elegantly behind her.

With a wave of her hand, the vine bonds still restraining the remaining party members release and curl backwards behind the bamboo cage. Small sprites which are floating in the cieling light up with lumanessence, revealing her face as she speaks;

”Welcome, outsiders. We mean you no harm.” Her voice is smooth, steady and reassuring.

“Gregor be having dreams recently of your divine beauty o’ nature-y one. Maybe if you be releasing Gregor, we can be reenacting those dreams, yes?” Gregor winks 

Bedroom eyes roll: 15

Nia raises an eyebrow at 'we mean you no harm' but keeps her mouth shut, waiting to see what their situation has become.
