Iroven bowed to Wipakoa, "I will gladly take your lesson, wise Wipakoa. It seems I lack in this essential skill. I am ready to learn and hopefully contribute in making snares."
Jun 25, 2024 3:32 pm
Artesia sits quietly, having little to add. She does not know crafting, nor have any insight that might aid them in catching the fey beyond what she has already shared.

Tomas will do his best to sit and listen to the Elder. However, he is not know for his abilities to craft.

"I would be honored, as always, to watch your handiwork, Wipakoa. I hope I can prove to be a better student this time around." Koram watches intently as the snare is prepared.

"This is called a hobbling snare," she says grabbing some vines from a pouch.

Anyone trained in Crafting may make a DC 18 Crafting check to see if you are able to pay attention enough to gain the Snare Crafting Feat for free.

You also learn to make the Hobbling Snare.

Iroven followed all the directions shown to him and he started to assemble the device with vines and ropes hoping that he will get it right the first time.

You are able to pick up on her skills, and it is as if a light goes off and it is so simple. Just a few simple basis snares that put together can make a multitude of contraptions.

You have your snare and you have your shiny object. Just need to decide on a place.

Tomas looks around the camp for a good place for a snare and subsequent ambush "Before it was mentioned that we could lure the fey out with some sore of lure. Does anyone have something good?"

"I have this," Koram says, holding up a golden pendant, adorned with a garnet gem. "I would prefer not to lose it, but perhaps it might suffice for this trap."

Shaggy takes the pendant and moves it to the middle of an open area between tents. He waits for Iroven to set up the trap before carefully placing it on the snare.

He speaks up in the fey language, his voice thundering around the camp. "Michiefmakers. We offer you this gift for your expertly crafted pranks around camp. We have been humbled by your quick wit."

You wait in suspense, as nothing happens. You're just about to give up when the snare springs to action. The vines snakes their way around a tiny fey's legs. Hobbling its speed. Immediately another creature runs out from behind a tent to his companions aid.

Some of you recognize them as one of the creatures you encountered a few days ago.

Tomas will spring to action and run out behind the fey, tackling the unhindered one in a warm meaty bear hug.
OOC:
Seems a good place for a athletics roll

With a mighty display of athleticism Tomas is able to put his hands around the creature, restraining it. "Let me go! This will not stand!" it calls out in anger.
OOC:
Well done, that was a critical success against it Fortitude defense and it is left restrained.

"We caught him, so we get a wish, right?" Artesia teases.
Jul 10, 2024 5:17 am
Iroven watched as Tomas grappled the fey creature. He was surprised by it's speed but quite relieved now that it was caught. "I am guessing we will negotiate with it now? Elder Shaggy can talk to it about why it chose to prank our camp?"

"What wish! We offer no..." the one in Tomas' hands starts, but is interrupted by the other creature that limps towards Tomas.

"Haha! Don't listen to Whifflewill. Let us go and we will give you your hearts desire!" the other one exclaims.

Shaggy Shemven
Shaggy shakes his head. "Quicklings! Horrible creatures. Degenerate prankers," he begins. "Unless you can point them to a better target, better to just off with their tiny heads."
Jul 11, 2024 11:48 pm
"I hear the Burning Mammoths could use some lessons in humor." Tomas replies to Shaggy as attempts to keep his distance from the 'free' Quickling "Elder can we trust these prankers to stay away?"

Shaggy smiles at Tomas. "Seems you have an equally devious mind as the quicklings. Hope you use it better than them."

He turns his attention to the captured quicklings. "We will let you free if you stop bothering the Broken Tusks. There are an even bigger following coming after us. You are free to prank them as much as you'd like."

The quicklings nods. "We swear on the ability to prank that we will never bother you again," says the one in Tomas grasp.

Iroven smiled thinking that they have just laid a dangerous trap for the Burning Mammoth without them even knowing. Somehow it was exactly like the snare that he just learned to craft.

Koram watches and listens to the exchange. "It seems they are willing to harass our enemies, this is good!"

Once you release the fey, they sulk back to the forest. Shaggy turns back to you. "I hope they heed my words."

Argakoa
You gather supplies and get ready to get back on the road when you are approached by Argakoa, the leader of Otter House.

"Well done scouts," she tells you. "Hopefully that will slow down our hunters."

She looks up to the sky. The clear sky, showing the soon setting sun. "The stars will be conductive to certain ritual songs for clarity and perceptiveness tonight. Would you postpone your leaving and join me this night?"
