Gerty watches as Sasha dive into the ankle deep water like a crazy person, just knowing she is going to break her neck. Instead though she disappears into the water as if it were an ocean. Immediately she swims down and out of sight. The water still seems only ankle deep and there is no sign of Sasha.
William finds the perfect spot and watches as the clouds form many shapes. It’s absolutely hypnotic and his mind is quickly transfixed on the menagerie of cloud forms. He doesn’t even here the splashing of water or Gerty’s exclamations. A true sense of peace falls over him.
Luke puts on the truly stunning hat and marvels at how well it fits. After a bit of time he feels a strange sensation come over him. He suddenly seems to know the location of all the flock and cattle, like intuition. Also he senses other four legged creatures roaming about the forest, he can sense a small herd of deer to the northwest, some wolves to south east, quite a distance away…
Luke has donned a special hat indeed. The hunters cap of the Stagg. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5431661-hunting-cap-of-the-stagg
As William zones out he doesn't hear the sounds around him anymore nor does he feel the gravity pushing him to the ground. It's just the sky and the clouds for him now.
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil
Sasha is briefly filled with sadness over the tragic fate before her, then quickly grabbing the wand and turning to swim towards the light and the surface, excited to see what she has been gifted with.
Gerty starts panicking and runs into the water trying to understand what is happening, "Sasha! Sasha! Where did you go? Guys, she has disappeared in the water!!" She sloshes around and heads to where she saw her friend disappear.
Luke rides over after hearing Gerty yell "Gert is everything alright? Sasha hasn't emerged? I thought she was just taking a swim....Should I jump in and get her?" With that Luke gets off of Brownie and starts to undress
Suddenly you see Sasha's hand breaking the surface of the pond, waving around in desperation for a moment, then disappearing again.
Luke doesn't wait for a reply from Gert but instead jumps in the water in just his skivvies
"Aye, privy to a cool dip she is! Watch my stuff, will you?" Aaron will set down his traveling equipment and wade into the water, grabbing on to exposed hand to help pull Sasha up. The lack of depth to the pool has Aaron raising his eyebrow and suspicion. "What in the god's green earth..." He mutters under his breath.
( not so fast, lol)
Sasha try’s to pull the wand free of the closed skeletal fist, but it doesn’t budge. As she pulls and pulls the empty hands shakes and almost looks like it is holding its hand out. The eyes of the skeleton begin to glow and Sasha can hear the words….” Sometimes one must give in order to receive”
When Gerty enters the water, she sees that it is indeed only ankle deep water and there is no sign of Sasha, other than the clothing she shed on the bank
Luke jumps into the shallow water and finds mud and rock and water plants
Small crawdads nibble at Aaron’s toes and he wades in with the others in an attempt to find Sasha, to no avail. It is as if she has dropped of the face of faerun altogether. She has been under for more than 15 mins now
(Considering what the skeleton just told Sasha I assume she is supposed to put her current wand into the empty skeletal hand but I cannot really say I imagined she was bringing that along when she dove in. Do we want her to happen to have it with her for the sake of the story or am I missing something completely?)
(You are correct, would assume she would have it since it’s her focus, unless you think she wouldn’t have it. Then she would have try giving it something else )
(I'm sorry, the way I imagined it she has absolutely nothing to give.)
(I'm sorry I will go with this to not make it extremely unepic.)
Hearing the skeletons words in her flimsy head, Sasha puts her fey wand into the empty skeletal hand.
The skeleton fingers clamp around Sasha fey wand and the grip on the other wands loosens. Once Sasha has the wand in hand, she feels a surge of power and then realizes she can’t breathe. She makes her way back to the surface and gasps for air, encircled by her worried friends as she sitS on the shallow bottom of the pond.
