"If you want to be clean just say the word," Astra pipes in, wiggling his fingers. "And not all snakes are bad! Faust has been very useful to us." As he says this, he gives a little boop on the nose to their snake familiar who simply tilted her head at Zyn. "Anywho, let's be on our way!"

“No.” Zyn said to Astra, frowning at him, seriously. “All snakes are bad.”

She quickly glanced at Faust, cracked a smile, and gave a joking wink.

"Which way to the lava?" Kitsune pipes in.

Kira nods and asks, "Could you point us towards the lava?"

AREA 5 - THE GREAT RIFT

Tumbledown ruins cling to the lip of a rift overlooking a lake of bubbling lava.

A small vegepygmy tribe preparing to sacrifice a grung to the rift. The grung, Imbok, is bound with vines and restrained. As the grung struggles, the vegepygmies encircle him and perform a strange, ritualistic dance. 

Better do something.

Kira rubs her hands together, squints, and points at the vegepygmies before blowing out a sharp breath.

Kira is casting sleep, which will affect 21 hp worth of vegepygmies.

And then I'm pretty sure we'll be rolling init: 20

Kitsune's initiative: 9

Asha:5

Nap time: 11

(I actually have a +8 mod so the 11 should be a 12, my bad!)

SACRIFICE OF FIRE

Two veggies plop to the ground, sound asleep. The chief and the rest of the veggies startle, and rush towards you all to attack! They look like walking asparaguses.

Chief: 11
Veggie1: 15
Veggie2: 4
Veggie3: 14
Veggie4: 3
Veggie5: 4
Veggie6: 19
Zyn: 23

As Veggie1 and Veggie3 get murdered horribly like some dude in another campaign, the other asparaguses stop their assault and surrender, dropping their weapons and holding up their hands.

Asha unties the frog. "All right now, be good or we'll come back to boil you up and serve you with steak."

Astra was ready to throw hands but seeing the veggie tales characters quickly surrender causes him to frown a bit... then shrug. "Well... That was easier than I thought."

Kira makes her way over to the grung. "Hi! We're gonna take you back to your dad now, okay?"

"Imbok grateful! You all came! Perfect timing! Showed those pygmies good!" Imbok says, grateful. He follows you all with no complaint. 

Off in the distance, but not too far away, a mighty roar can be heard. It's so loud and terrifying that you stop and freeze for a moment until it stops, the sound alone causing your brain and body to halt and process. Like that scene in Jurrassic Park, you can feel the faint vibrations of earth tremors.

King is nearby.

"Oh no.."

Kira's eyes widen. "Uh oh uh oh uh oh. Time to run. And/or hide."

King has a good sense of smell. He's also huge and terrifying. He's coming down the main road towards you guys, and you must deliver Imbok back to his father. The best way to avoid King is to sneak past him in a gut wrenching series of stealth checks.

We're going to have three rounds. For each round, everyone rolls a Stealth check and add up what you all get, then divide among the number of players - generating an average. Beat a DC15. You need to do this three times, so three rounds of Stealth checks. Passing is good. Failure is bad. No "helping".

Zyntari.

Zyn for short. I'm a good girl. Friendly, cheerful, but i'm no scholar. Kinda shy. I'm focused. Disciplined. My martial arts training helped me with that. I'm not too tall, not too short. I have a nice ass. I wish I had bigger boobs. I'm athletic, I look and move like someone who kicks a ball around frequently, or a runner. I use my legs and my arms a lot. I have an impressive core. I'm scratched and cut in places, have a few scars. My hair is long, curly, and white, usually up in a half bun, messy. My skin is a soft gray.

I preferred to exercise my body than my mind, and didn't want to participate in the family business. It frustrated my parents very much. They were doing well, spent years gaining trust of those we lived around, and sold to. When the city I lived in was buried because of the earthquake, the power of the Ki gave my Grandfather the power to communicate with me, i'm in touch with his spirit most of the time.

I would like to be more than what I am, to see the world, to meet more people, and to share my stories with others. Maybe even kiss some one some day. To know someone intimately, deeply, one day. Boys might whistle at me, and girls like to admire my arms, for example, but that's a passing thing. It's not as real as a connection. An electrical connection. Love. The fear of losing someone.

Grandfather says romance is a distraction, but sometimes I don't believe him on that. He has this look in his eye, this twinkle, this pitch in his voice that says, that MIGHT be true, but he's hiding something that he doesn't want to share. He's protecting me, I know. I'm his only granddaughter. Was. The only person to follow in his footsteps. But while i'm travelling the jungle for a month, getting my ass kicked by snakes, and trying to avoid a terrible spell-casting t-rex..i'm..thinking about the future.

My future. 

Will I live? Will I die? What will I become?
