Captain Kidd smiles and sees Grandmother Sophie through the water. "Ah...what powerful and ancient magic you have. Allow me to have a taste of it for myself. " He says hungrily with a dark chuckle in his throat.

A long fleshy proboscis sucker tube slowly comes out of one of his fingers and coming through the bowl where Grandmother Sophie is scrying on Captain Kidd quickly attaches itself to her chest and slowly begins to siphon the magical life essence out of her.

Grandmother Sophie cries out in pain and after a few moments pulls the proboscis out and severs the scrying connection throwing the bowl to the ground shattering it with water splashing on the floor.

Captain Kidd growls after having his meal interrupted but chuckles. "What strong magic that Fey creature had. I feel stronger now. " He said to himself before reeling in his proboscis back inside his body and barked at his men to seek out anything magical for him and find new victims to become a part of their crew and anything else they want. The crew shouts "AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!" Before continuing their prowling in town.

Grandmother Sophie having lost some life essence and magic groaned in pain. In her chest is a large black spot where she was drained from by the pirate with the fierce hungry red eyes.

"Oh, I shouldn't have scryed on him. Captain Kidd saw me and tried to drain the magical life essence out of me like he did to that wizard. He was smiling the whole time he did it too. I'll be ok. I just need some rest. Be careful and stay safe." Grandmother Sophie said before she went to her chambers and shut the door behind her.

After seeing what happened to Grandmother Sophie and the fear in her eyes, Flora tries to go comfort her but stops.

"I can't believe that Captain Kidd feeds on magical life essence like one of those Camel elephant monsters I read about in one of her magic books. We definitely got to be very careful today if we decide to go to town today. I got a spell scroll for Pass without a Trace if we need it today. C'mon, let's get our chores done and head out. " Flora says a moment later to everyone.

Sleepy and not a whole lot of fight in him Ollie goes and takes a nap "Don't leave without me"
May 18, 2023 5:22 pm
"Actually, I think that ends our plan on going to town. We went into one battle against an overwhelming force and Grandma Sophie had to save me. I'm not willing to go into town and have another of us die. Especially not without a good reason. And I'm pretty sure we couldn't fight off a band of pirates with a high powered magic sucking leader that can attack grandma Sophie from a place hours away."

After what happened to Grandma Sophie Tink is no longer excited to see pirates, at least not Captain Kidd.

"You’re right Woody."

Flora nods. "We can go another day when the Pirates are not in town. What do you guys want to do after we get chores done then? We could try again in the cellar or go hunting in the woods or something. Sucks she got attacked just for scrying on those nasty Pirates. I hope Grandmother Sophie feels better after she gets some rest."

Once everyone finishes up with breakfast, you all go get chores done while Ollie and Grandmother Sophie are resting. Once you finish your chores, what do you all decide to do after that? @Eyes,@Seck . It is only 11:30 in the morning now and lunch isn't for 2 hours which you will have to fix yourself today. So you all have time to yourself before and after lunch.

Flora quietly goes into Grandmother Sophie's room and check to see how she is doing.
OOC:
Doing a medicine check to check on the health of Grandmother Sophie.

"Grandmother Sophie has been attacked by a life drain spell that drains both life and magic. She requires a long rest to regain her health back as Captain Kidd drained her of half of her health (50 hp). Usually life drain attacks drains users of their Max HP which requires a lesser or greater restoration spell to heal it back but this was a magical life drain attack that attacks like a stirge drain attack. She'll be ok after a long rest. " The DM voice in the sky tells Flora.

Flora nods and makes sure to leave a pitcher of water out for Grandmother Sophie and a cup on her table before quietly leaving her room and relaying to the others what she found out.

Woody goes out to shoot targets with his bow all afternoon.

Flora uses her green flame blade against a tree striking out at it training to use her magic after being startled by a woodpecker pecking at a tree in the woods.

Rolls

Green flame blade spell melee attack - (1d20+4)

(9) + 4 = 13

Green flames strike at the tree and leaves a small charred cut mark on the thick bark of the oak tree. Flora cries out with victory. "Yay, I did it! " She said with a giggle before she ran back to the others with a smile on her face.

Tink heads into the barn to see what odds and ends Grandma Sophie kept around that she may not need. If there’s anything there that he could use to build something, he’ll ask Grandma Sophie about it later when she’s feeling better.
May 23, 2023 1:49 am
Tink wonders what Flora and Woody are up to when he leaves Grandma Sophie’s barn.
May 23, 2023 2:09 am
Now, it doesn't seem she's off alone but. If Woody notices anyone going off alone in the woods, he'll try to keep an eye on them. If it seems they are venturing off too far, he'll just tag along at a distance to make sure they don't hurt themselves. Woody has taken over the protective roll that he felt he got from Jocko, years ago.
May 23, 2023 5:19 am
Flora excited about her successful magic experiment sees Woody and cries "Woody, guess what? I successfully casted a spell that worked. I'm so happy. My green flame blade will be perfect to use against the creatures in the cellar. " She says before her tummy begins to growl.
May 23, 2023 1:11 pm
Flora giggles after that. "Seems like I am hungry. Do you guys want to go get lunch before we go try and tackle the cellar again? We'll have to wake Ollie up too. " She asks to Woody and Tink a moment later.
May 23, 2023 9:33 pm
"I could eat. Sandwiches? And, maybe a cold bit of fruit..."
May 24, 2023 2:44 am
"Sounds awesome. Maybe we could fix peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fruit then. Let's go. Race you back!" Flora says before she takes off in a dash back to the cottage with a laugh.
