Hehe... I was thinking more of a toad hybrid like creature. He probably likes insects or maybe berries or maybe something else you can think of :) [IC] The Delivery Quest, Part 3

"Unfortunately, with my orb I can only speak to the dead." Ivario replies to Innis. "So, if Beartrand gets eaten by your pet, I'm sure I'll be the first to know!" He turns to Beartrand. "I have confidence that that won't happen, though. You can do this, Beartrand!"
Once again, Ivario takes the deck of cards out of his pocket. "Before you go, do you want to grab a card from the deck and see your fate?"

You can use this link to see a card (click it to show) and tell me which one you got.

"Ah, a common misconception, my friend." Ivario takes the card from Beartrand and smiles.
"You see, even though the card says 'The Fool', as you can clearly see in the picture, he is a lone traveler." He continues. "This means your travel to the house of Innis is favored! And do you see that happy dog in the bottom right there? It tells me that the pet you need to calm down will be friendly to you."
He pats Beartrand on his back. "The sun shines upon him. I believe your journey will be a good one!" Ivario looks at the card again. "Oh, but beware of flowers. Especially thorny ones." After this advice, he puts the cards away again.

I see that h is going to fall from the mountain and that the dog try to warn him, but he doesn't listen !
His face does not look very happy
And know, I must do what I hate !
He pull a zipper and suddenly he is transformed in a fluffy Teddy bear not much higher than Innis. And he looks at his companions with eyes warning that they should not laugh or make fun of his new condition.

Ivario turn to Esther "Esther, this is hardly a good time for magical jokes. Turn Beartrand back into a person." He tells her in a slightly annoyed, but still respectful way.

No, this is my power, one of them anyway. I go to get the potion, see you soon.
And Teddybeartrand runs on all four with a strange looking run that is hard to not smile or even laugh at.

Innis and Yarbi look in amazement as Beartrand transforms himself into a fluffy teddy bear.
In teddy bear form, Beartrand is easily able to run along with soft and quiet feet across the bridge. He is also able to see a glimpse of a seemingly half-awake gargoyle-like creature resting under the bridge. The gargoyle seems oblivious and undisturbed by the teddy bear running above.
After running for quite some time, Teddy Beartrand eventually makes it small house on an island surrounded by water.
A wooden bridge leads across the water to the house.
One of the windows on the side of the house is broken -- perhaps busted open from an accident or explosion.
Looking up from the water right next to the bridge is a large hungry looking toad -- perhaps this is pet 'Herman'? It's eyeing (staring at) Teddy Beartrand -- perhaps it's thinking that the moving bear is edible.

Obviously this is all 'player knowledge' to everyone except Beartrand who is actually there. @Beartrand what will you do to get past the frog and get into the house? Jun 19, 2022 1:36 pm
Teddy Beartrand looks around for a stone to throw, he doesn't show his back to the frog but tells him always watching him
Hello Herman, Inis sent me, why don't you go hunt some dragonflies, while I take what she asked me to take ?

"Wow, you can turn into a small bear?!? That's pretty neat. I thought Esther was casting a spell on you."
When Beartrand heads out to Innis' house, Ivario takes a seat on a tree stump next to the road. "I guess we'll wait for Beartrand to get back?" He looks to Innis. "Innis, which way do we go from here to find the Oracle?"

OOC:
@YullyBear Good roll. Are you going to try to divert Herman by throwing a rock? We can assume you find one. You can make a run for it to the house. However, Herman hasn't been fed by Innis for several days so he may still follow you.Meanwhile...
Innis
Innis replies to Ivario and the others, "The Oracle lives in the Swamp of Dim Lights, which is straight north of my house. If I'm unable to transform myself back into human form, then I may need to visit her myself."
Much time has passed today in the 'dark forest' and it is now about mid afternoon.

Beartrand throw a rock in the water has far from him as his strength of Teddy bear can.
Jun 22, 2022 6:26 am
The rock splashes into the water a ways away. Herman sinks into the water and then hops out of the water, near where the rock splashed, momentarily distracted. It then stares at Teddy Beartrand with a dumb hungry look.
Meanwhile, Innis asks "So what's the nature of this curse that's on your home village?"
Yarbi interrupts "Did you hear something? Like a rustling nearby? Oh... why am I always the one to notice these things. It must be my big ears."

"Well, the curse has been sickening the crops and live stock of our village. We are going to run out of food if we don't find a solution..." Ivario says just before Yarbi breaks off their conversation. He looks in the direction that Yarbi thinks the sound came from. "Could it have been the wind?" His voice is a whisper as he listens intently. "Maybe Beartrand is already back!"

Moving along... and including a hypothetical conclusion preview. Assuming Teddy Beartrand makes it inside...In the cauldron, a pool of magical liquid is swirling: it shows an image of where you first found Innis on the other side of the river.
In the back library several glass bottles filled with liquid can be found on the shelf; a few of which are green...
OOC:
Assuming everyone gets to the house eventuially, I was going to roll to see if Innis manages to turn herself back into human form or have to seek help from the Oracle. The adventurers, when traveling north would find the swamp. Preview below. What sort of creature should the Oracle be? I was thinking of making her a small snail with telekinesis abilities. (Some plot twist could ensue.) Obviously this was not a very violent and lighthearted game, so assume no build up to a big battle -- although there's still the mystery as to where the curse came from in the first place.
Oh and the rustling noise that Yarbi is hearing could be a real bear... there had to be one eventually.

Beartrand rush as far as he can toward the windows, as soon as he saw the frog jumping toward the rock
OOC:
Sorry no internet for the last few daysOOC:
Beartrand uses an aspect : Creature zipper, he knows how to climb fast in Teddy Bear's skin (I hope it is a correct usage of concept). Sheet is updatedRolls

Hi @YullyBear! I was beginning to be think we'd lost you. I'll check out your post later tonight... Jun 25, 2022 7:06 am
OOC:
Actually I think we had your ability to 'climb with ease' in the description of your Teddy Bear stunt (usable once per session, at least until you transform out of it.) The stunt would give +2. And yes, that could potentially fit the Zipper aspect as well if needed, I believe.Herman (the pet guard frog) just watches with a look of utter confusion.
Books and furniture are in disarray. A ring of burn marks are on the floor circling a cauldron, indicating that there had been an explosion.
In the cauldron, a pool of magical liquid is swirling: it shows an image of the place where you first found Innis on the other side of the river.

Meanwhile...
The rustling behind a few forest trees is suddendly followed by the startling sound of a growl, like the sound of a wild animal...
Yarbi: whispers quietly, *Gulp* "That doesn't sound like the wind (!)"

Ivario slowly back away from the sound. "Get behind me." He tells the other two. "Innis, if you have any magic left to use... this would be a good time to do it!"
Then, with sudden force, a bear springs forth out of the shrubbery. "AAH!" Ivario yells, seeing the bear's teeth and claws as it rears up on its hind legs. Seeing the bear's paws gives him an idea. It's a stupid idea, but it just might work... He turns on his Gypsy charm and takes a confident step forward. Let's hope this does the trick.
"Ah. Mister bear, I've been expecting you... Please come this way." Ivario walks slowly towards a tree stump just at the edge of the road near the bridge. "Yes, just sit over there, and I will give you a palm reading." He gestures at the bit of grass near the stump.
Do I need to roll for this? Some kind of persuasion or performance roll? I don't know how intelligent bears can be in this world. It might just bite me instead.
