Zeed the Ranger, Aaracrockra promises not to make up to many schemes.

Zeed follows slowly hovering above the ground.

You walk up to the shop and order a gram of salt but when you ask for healing herbs he says he doesn't have any that will heal anything. He asks "Well uh do you uh want some uh umm herbs for like burns or frostbite or cuts or bruises or what uhh sorry uhh bye uh yeah."

"burns, frostbite, and poison cure if you have any"

now can i knock on the door?

"Okay umm here you go burns, frostbite, and poison cure." he says as he hands you three bags of herbs, "That will be ummm like maybe umm thirty-two silver pieces, thanks umm bye." He says as he accepts your money and then awkwardly waves as you walk away. You walk to the large house and you knock on the door and a beautiful girl with slightly curly black hair, dark eyebrows, a small nose, and about the age of 20 winters, and light skin with a fancy but plain dress answers the door. she stares down at you and over to the aarakocra and then annoyed says "What do you need?"

"a map, unless you want a beholder to use his disintegration ray on this unfortunate town. me and the ranger here cant stop him if we cant find him." (persuasion roll: 21)

"and we better get going soon so dont waste my time if you wont help us." I fold my arms impatiently with a slight raise to my eyebrows.  "and though graylon dosent seem to have a problem with  these signs, smarter people, which i hope you are one, should take this seriously. "

She looks confused at you and says "A map to were? The insane asylum?" She points her finger at you and chuckles at you. Then she looks offended at what you said about William and replies almost shouting, "William is the smartest man ever you deformed hafling and uhh bird person! You'll have to take the map off of our dead bodies! William would never let a priceless heirloom go to two idiots with delusions of behelders or whatever. Leave and never return!" She then steps back and slams the wooden door which creates a quite large bit of unexpected wind which makes Zeed almost fall. During that whole thing she had been bending over and jabbing you in the nose with her finger after every sentence and your nose is now quite sore (no dmg btw). There were a woman of about 30 winters with a boy of about 5 that were watching the whole spectacle and are now hurrying away the young  bow stumbling behind the woman.

Well crap.  I cast prestidigitation cantrip on the house to make it smell like a skunk, and start north

I also put on the spectacles for a second and tell T everything, asking if they know about the beholder and if so, if there is any useful information. im still going north until about moonrise/5 minutes after sunset, which i then stop, unless zeed wants to keep going, collect firewood or use tinderbox depending on where i am, if there are sticks laying around, i  light them with prestidigitation, and take the first watch while zeed sleeps, starting my nightly ritual. (i can send details of it if you want)

so i guess nothing happened, so i then start up in the morning, unless there is anything unusual

Okay slow down. The doorway to the house smells like skunk spray now and when you put on the spectacles you are suddenly in a fiery cavern and are eating several adventurers. After a moment they are all eaten and then you tell her about all that's happened and ask about the beholder and the different heads reply in bits "DO NOT DISTURB US WITH SUCH TRIVIAL THINGSSSSSS. DO NOT TEMPT US TO DESTROY YOUR SPECTACLES MATERIAL PLANE SCUM."

(out of game) ok, im still doing what i said in previous post, so ill just let you continue to dm.

We'll wait for Logan. Maybe try to slow down stuff that happens every post.

otay

Oh well lets go. I tell Logan to get on more at Swim Team. You start of heading north towards the mountains when a shady figure in black cloak that conceals his face steps out from a small gap between the Graylon house and the neighboring house and says "You wanna get the map huh? Well I can get you it for uh let's say twentee gold piecees?" Then awaits your response with his black hood swishing back and forth in the wind...

i fold my arms, put on my haggling face and say, "Im not stupid you know. I'll take it for ten."

A strong gust of wind pushes the figures hood back and you see one large green eye (almost swollen looking) pushing against a tiny blue eye that looks like he's squinting with it. You only manage to catch the eyes before he puts his hood back on and grunts. "You take meee as a fool do you. Ten is a meeeager price for a theft such as this. My skills will make this theft never reeeetracable to you or meeee. You seeeeeee I am a doppleganger, not that one so sheltered such as you would know what that is. I am a skin changer." Then he lifts up his pale bony hands from were he was gesturing with them to his hood. Along the way they slowly get less bony and pale, and more tan. He throws back his hood and you see the scowling face of William Graylon. "You will regret denying my price you One-skin filth!" With that he pulls out a slightly serrated dagger with a black handle, a silver blade, and a groove down the middle that looks green and glowing in the shadow of the ally and tries to cut you on the arm!

To hit: 16

Damage: 6 slashing and 7 poison

If it is a hit you get woozy barely seeing the man flee down the alley, his knife without the glowing green line now, and fall to your knees then face plant in the dirt between the houses. You are unconscious for the next 3 minutes and  paralyzed for the next minute after you awake. If you get hit.
