Gertrude even though she is struggling to find a bush of the flowers, has an exact image of the orchid in her head. She just got a really good look at the flower and she knows she can identify it out of any other plants around here. So she walks around some more...  nature = natural 20 (rolled on discord).

Gertrude finds he right bush in a matter of minutes. Now, everyone can take his/her orchid and climb safely to the first landing.

The steps from level 1 to level 2 are 33 feet long and rise 20 feet. The stone is crumbling from age and decay. Those who try climbing the steps find that, after the first few, the stone crumbles into gravel beneath them so they can’t make any more progress.

After the first attempts to climb, Jon notices another tiny creature standing among them at the base of the steps. Its mask resembles a chameleon’s head. It’s carrying an orange and purple orchid and a red parrot feather, and it races up the steps with ease, literally light as a feather on the fragile stones.

OOC Survival checks to find the right parrots. (at least three parrots needed)

Looking for parrots with guidance

survival 8 + 3

Survival: 17

While Felix easily finds and catches an awesome red parrot, Kurma is not so lucky. But there is something wrong...

OOC I would like a WIS saving throw from Felix, Kurma, Brunella, Gertrude and Irommek.

WIS Save: 5

Wis save: 25

Gertrude WIS saving throw: 17

If nothing happens, also survival: 15

Oniss watches the little creatures and thinks back to the first sighting on the boats.

"I knew these little creatures would be a boon to our travels.  Now the question is do they purposely assists us or is it by chance we see them?"

Oniss continues the climb and pauses for a second, speaking to no one in particular...

"Or do they purposely lead us to our doom?"

"I remember these creatures from the boats so many weeks ago", says Brunella

Wisdom save: 2

OOC Sorry, I push a bit this part. rolling Irommek's WIS save and everyone's initiatives.

Felix and Irommek are inexplicably going together toward a very nice, large-sized plant in front of them. That plant is very attractive, indeed. And famished. This plant parts its four very large leaves to invite Felix inside.

Round 1
Gertrude     Felix (attracted-1)    Plant 1 Plant 2      Jon      Brunella      Plant 3      Plant 4      Oniss       Kurma       Musharib     Dragonbait     Irommek (attracted-1)     Inete

(OOC Feliz and Irommek are forced to use all their movement on their turns to get as close to Plant 1 as possible. They can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.)

Gertrude is surprised and shocked. She has no idea how to stop Felix and Irommek. 

But immediately her unconscious bubbles and her rage begins to brew. It covers all of her allies in an icy cloud that protects them from suffering (+2 tHP to everybody). 

Then Gertrude decides to grapple Felix, to stop him from walking directly into the opening the plant has created.

athletics with advantage for rage: 17

And with ease Gertrude steps forwards and gives Felix a bearhug - not intending to let go anytime soon...

Felix almost loses his breath for how hard Gertrude squeezes him.

Round 1
Gertrude     Felix (attracted-1, grappled)    Plant 1 Plant 2      Jon      Brunella      Plant 3      Plant 4      Oniss       Kurma       Musharib     Dragonbait     Irommek (attracted-1)     Inete

OOC Felix can do his turn as normal, then a WIS save.

WIS Save: 3

"So beautiful! I must have it, let go Gertrude!" Felix continues his pursuit as Gertrude holds him back.

Felix will yell at Gertrude "Let go of me! I'm fine!" as he pulls his short bow and attacks P2.

Hit: 11

Damage: 9

Quote from BeastyC >>

"So beautiful! I must have it, let go Gertrude!" Felix continues his pursuit as Gertrude holds him back.

Felix's arrow falls too short. However, this does bother the second plant, which emanates a puff of pollen.

OOC Getrude, Felix, Kurma and Irommek, another WIS save, please.

WIS Save: 13

Brunella remembers the partys previous encounter with strange plant like things. She draws two torches and lights them, holding one in each hand, and falls back next to Jon. She then summons her rage, ready for the fight.

OOC: Not sure how many actions are needed to light the two torches, if she can only light and/or draw one she will do that.
