Chapter 2: Winnowing Reach
As the party goes through the final miles to get to Winnowing Reach the land becomes swampy but wooded. The air thicker with the smell of moss and humidity. The town you enter is of typical Humblewood design, mainly built around a grouping of trees with structures built in them, though you still see some structures built on the ground as well. Everything is accessible for Humblefolk and the townsfolk is a healthy mix of all people of the wood.

As you enter the town Eliza breaks off from the group with a smile "Have a rest," Eliza says. "You are going to need it for when you escort me to Alderheart."/b] And with a wink she heads off and sets up her cart in the middle of town.

[b]"Come find me when you are ready to head north" she calls out as she walks away.

We're to find her, when she's the one that needs us as escort? Leif shook his head, but dismissed her out of mind as he motioned to Charun. "Come on, luma, we'll need you if we're to have any chance of the Magistrate listening to us." With that, he headed northeast towards the Magistrate's office.

Not keen on standing before some presumptuous high and mighty birdfolk, Sherry sets her arms on her hips and shakes her head. "Necessary, but not for me." she states confidently. "You please do that."
Instead, she suggests selling the treasures they've captured and some asking around. Happen some current rumors haven't reached the groups — sometimes pointy — ears yet.

Not that you don't cross each other's way in such a small village, but the mapach girl suggests meeting later at Wrangler's Rest, where they would probably spend the night.

"If anyone wants to accompany me, feel welcome." she suggests, open to every possibility and combination of people.

Scylla has just begun a journey of discovery. The local library has been entirely read and she feels more information must be added to the knowledge of the population. Her notebooks are filled with empty pages ready for notes, plant samples, and drawings of various creatures. She’s been traveling from the south and in one of her stops she came across a young Corvum named Kenna who was researching slime, they were traveling into the Mokk Fields and gave you a letter to deliver to the Magistrate of Winnowing Reach.

She arrives outside the magistrate’s office to find a small crowd of people seeking to see them. A Luma and a mouse all seek entry even as Scylla arrives with her own request. "Oh, hello there. I have a letter that needs to be delivered to the magistrate as well. I see this might be a bad time. Should I return later?"

One of the guards at the entrance to the offices looks up the level above him and waves at the guards above. Without saying a word, he then stands back at attention

After some time the group sees a middle-aged Kindled Corvum with drab black feathers steps out of the building above and begins to descend down the stairs. He is wearing fine clothing that doesn't fit into the more dreary look of the town and swampy region.

What is it that requires attention? he says as he steps down the stairs before stopping suddenly and looking at the group below. Strangers? Hmmm. I will take audience of the matters at hand. Go along speak.

Ashbarrow has been consumed by flame. Meadowfen is sending us to Alderheart to inform them of the risk of the Scorched Grove expanding and calls for support. Meadowfen has taken on some refugees and there are reports of bandits taking advantage of the situation to loot Ashbarrow as it's people. The guard of Meadowfen took gravy lists from the fire and bandits.

Meadowfen asks you to aid them as well and help us to ensure this information reaches the Birdfolk Council as quickly as possible. We bear a letter from Ardwyn to attest too this things.

Leif was quiet during the walk to the Magister's office, though his heart was surely drumming. This was it, a part of his first quest completed. He'd received a blessing from an Amaranthine, and already encountered bandits, certainly it must be a quest. He ought to have joined Sherry and found himself a bard to record his tales. This was an epic in the making!

He shook his head out of the clouds. Charun was speaking to the Magister--and there was a vulpin now. Where'd she come from? He needed to pay more attention to reality and less on his dreams. He side-eyed her, but otherwise stayed quiet and awaited to see if Charun's words will have any effect on the Magister.

FYI @Ysolde, the ferret isn't with us. Seems like it's just Leif (jerbeen/mouse) and Charun (luma/dove). The mapach/ferret is a rogue doing rogue things, and I'm not sure if Hurin (mapach/raccoon) is with us or not.

She looks up when addressed and says, "A fellow scholar had a letter they asked me to deliver since I was heading this way anyway. I certainly don’t want to get in the way of helping out against the Scorched Grove though. We artic Vulpin don’t like fire much."

The Magistrate snatches the letter and opens it. While he reads it his face goes from curiosity, to shock to concern. He stops...sighs and begins to speak.

My job as Magistrateis to take care of the people of the Reach. It does seem like both matters benefit that goal.

I will write to the Birdfolk Council in Alderheart for you, but in exchange I wish for you to help take care of the matters this letter has alerted me. Our chief slimw researcher has gotten herself into a little trouble. Could you please fet h her for me? She should be in the Mokk Den Caverns just to the East.

"I have to agree with my companions we are in a rush to support Meadowfen. When you say a "little trouble", what exactly can we expect in the caverns besides the obvious slime? I assume a researcher knows the risks of the slime industry and plans accordingly. I'm concerned about what my companions and I may be walking in to."

The Magistrate ponders a moment and then speaks...

The caverns are some of the oldest slime harvesting spots however it has been abandoned for many years. Kenna believes that this could result in new types of slimes not seen before, other than that i do not go.

I cannot force you to go but while Meadowfren's safety is important, they have long spurned being formally inside the watch of the Perch Guard and believed they could handle themself. This could be time for them to prove it and wait a little longer.,

So we should take the map as historically representative of the artistic style that was often used by non military groups. Drawn from stories and not measuring.
Turning to Hurin and Leif and quietly conferring Charun states If this is the attitude of Meadowfens closest neighbor I doubt that those at Alderheart will be much better. It may be best to get the backing of the Magistrate. Though it delays out message it may speed up the response. I say we go and find the researcher. What say you?

Correct, the map is more artistic flair than to scale. I may use it for general pointing of where you are at, but it wouldn't be a good measure of distance.

Leif turned to confer with his companions, anger writ all over his face. Truth be told, he hadn’t expected any help, so this was better than he could’ve hoped for, yet he couldn’t help his feelings. Those fliers always had to have the back scratched before they’d scratch yours, never one to help for the sake of helping.

Charun was more calm, and his reasoning made sense. "I agree. Whatever we’ll be walking into, best we get it over with."

follow the flow of water from here and it will lead you most of the way to the Mokden Caverns and the caverns themselves are fairly obvious after a half day travel. Unfortunately the only person familar enough with the area is Kenna.

He speaks of the swampy nature of the Mok Fields and that other than slime, emberbats have been seen in the area recently. He suggests the apothecary for any types of other aid.

Slime are generally hard to hurt easy to hit, slow creatures that don't see through visual senses.

Sherry meets the group, ranting like an angry sailor. She didn't sell anything. Only crooks and fraudsters here who possess no sense of honest business! No good businessman around to be found - she proclaims with an infuriated whipping tail. They would have apparently to keep the loot for a while and try their luck in the following town.

When she sees Scylla, the upset mapach calms down a bit and politely inquires who she is. "You have such beautiful fur." Sherry admires the Lupine. Then she grins broadly and says with a friendly wink: "I especially like the color." as she herself is snow white as well. Just with a pink nose tip, which often twitches excitedly.

The newly minted adventurer can quickly be brought up to speed. "Ooookkkaaaayyy..." she murmurs at first, a little confused and suspicious. That wasn't the plan - but hey! A good day inevitably had a surprise in store. She has no particular opinion on the letter, but she would be okay to leave it with Eliza for the moment, as she is sure that they would meet her on the road, before the cat-person would reach Aelderheart.

"To the slime caves!" Sherry proclaims ready for an adventure. While the group wanders off, she tries to find out more about Scylla as they hike.

"Nice to meet you Lief. I am glad to be aboard." She tries not to show her vulpine smile thinking the mouse might not appreciate the sharp teeth showing.

She makes sure to get Charun’s name as well and then she meets Sherry and she smiles at the compliment saying coyly, "I can’t imagine why?"

She gets caught up to speed on the details of the group asking questions and wishing she could have seen some of the things in person. She explains to Sherry that she’s a researcher and is thinking about creating a book all about the dangers and details of the Humblewood so that future generations of people can know before they go.

Surprised about what Scylla is planing on doing for future generations, the mapach girl seems a bit quiet, the next half an hour. That hole researcher thing had never entered her mind. The only people undertaking such things she knows of, keep busy in the fields of tinkering, drinking and carousing. But researching danger sounds pretty strange to Sherry. And a bit awesome she has to admit to herself with a guilty grin.

"If we embark on many adventures together, can I be in your book too? Or even become a co-author?" the junior adventurer asks suddenly after a lengthy pause while staring hopefully at the lupin woman.

As Scylla mentions the bandits, the young adventurer hangs her head with a sombre face. Listening to Charun, she adds her view on the situation: "A story written a hundred times before. Some unfortunate schmucks, not able to make a living under the uncaring birdfolk regime. Trying to survive. A bad decision leads to the next and ..." here she sighs "before anyone is any wiser or better, they turned to banditery and now they are dead."

Taking a few steps in silence the mapach girl raises her chin and puffs out her chest: "At least one could be saved. We" here a sly grin appears on the girls face as she makes a group including twirl with her index-claw "spooked him real good. So ... he promised to lead a better life." The typical twinkle returns during those words to Sherry's eyes.

"Now he is on his way to Meadowfen. They lost many strong arms there. Hopefully, he can make himself useful and finds his place there."

She jots some quick notes down. Her handwriting is elegant and very readable even using a simple pencil. She also sketches some simple drawings of each of her new allies with a bit of artistic license. As she hears Sherry’s tale the figures of each of you stand in front of some "defeated" bandits with one kneeling in subjugation before you.

To Charun she says, "Arcana and History are my main strengths. My mother is more fascinated with medicine and I have had more than a few religious diatribes from father. I’m hoping to learn more about the natural world and, of course, my main areas of study."

Leif ranged further ahead than the others, and could just make out enough to get the gist of the conversations, but was too far ahead to participate in it. As the conversation turned to the bandits, he scampered further ahead so as to not be triggered by it. He had no sympathy for bandits, and would certainly not suffer himself to listen to some understanding sob story. Things were easier out here in nature, everything has a place, and everything made sense.

"Hopefully our recovering bandit fairs well in Meadowfen. Whatever is happening in the Scorched Grove does not bode well for anyone in the surrounding communities."

Hurin hangs back within speaking range but still behind the group. He can't help but think of his own mother's fascination with medicine and the services she offered as a healer.

As you guys travel through the Mokk Fields, you will notice the wildlife around you. Frogs, toads, salamanders, crocodiles and the likes as well as the occasional slime oozing its' way around. Charun is able to direct the group around any obstacles he sees and you make swift time when heading to the caverns.

The swampy paths are difficult to navigate but easy enough with the help.

As you approach the caverns you can see a small run down hut to the outside of one of the cave entrances, and two slimes slinking around the main path that lead to it.

Charun would see that the slimes seem to be moving around the area blindly, one appears to be on top of something by the entrance to the cave. No other creatures are near.

The cave entrance is about a 15ft high 20ft wide opening that is dark on the inside. There is a slight tinge of blue light coming from some iridescent mushrooms just on the inside you can make out

Charun leaps up and she watches as he glides down. There’s some small atavistic feeling as she waits for him to return, her ears slick down and she wants to hide in wait so she can pounce. She’s above such behavior and instead focuses on one of the slimes.

She approaches closely towards the slime, pencil out, sketch paper ready, and arcane words forming on her lips.

Leif, you would recognize that them approaching probably means they were completely unaware of you until you got closer. Walden did say they were easy to hit but hard to hurt as well.

As you enter the caverns you see that there are wooden support beams throughout the cavern, some are in better condition than others. Those who put these up have long since abandoned them and are not working to maintain. They seem sturdy enough.

The cavern is dimly lit by the glowing mushrooms, water can be heard dripping in the distance and the air is humid. While you don't see anything as you are walking through there is a subtle feeling of not being alone.

You look down the tunnel in front of you. It is haphazardly propped up by makeshift frame made from the wooden struts. The timeworn frame creaks audibly, and dust occasionally showers down from the ceiling into the tunnel. It looks like it could collapse at any moment.
OOC:
Sorry again, I think I was more sick from my son than I was allowing myself to think kept coming to this game without energy to do what I needed. Should be better now.

As for the question on darkvision, I have never treated light as affecting darkvision personally so mechanically it wouldn't have an affect but I like it as a roleplay aesthetic too so don't worry about it.

OOC:
I will take average initiative for NPC's and average initiative for PC's. And whichever side is higher goes first.

Nat 20's basically count make it so lowest roll on the team is replaced by the final result for whoever rolled

example:
PC 1 rolls a 19
PC 2 rolls a 3
PC 3 rolls a Nat20 and has a +1 to initiative
PC 4 rolls a 15
Team average would be calculated
19+21+15+3 21 = 76 / 4 = 19 average

this will reward nat 20's for the whole team

Charun moves (NW,W,W) to get out of the middle of this mess before slamming his hammer towards the slime ( now SE of him).

The blow sinks the hammer in and chain has trouble removing it...

Finally! The slimes are in the right position and she can let loose. Her hands fan out and she calls forth arcane power. Most of the words are unintelligible arcane but the final ones are understandable, "Burning hands!"

After that a 15’ cone of flame bursts forth and engulfs all of the slimes just missing Charun. Scylla is accurate with her flames but, likely everyone can feel the heat as the conflagration bursts from her hands anyway.

After dancing to the side, Sherry realizes in what predicament her newfound comrade has been thrown into. At least Ysolde had an eye on the situation and was coming to Charun's aid. Confronted with a slime of her own, the mapach girl lets her scimitars dance in the hope to score enough hits to slide back to the birdfolk paladin and stand by his side, as he had done with her.

Easily finishing it off, the freshly minted adventurer laughs excited and hurries to help Charun against the growing tide of slimes. "It must be your birdfolk smell that draws them out in those numbers!" she whispers thrilled to her comrade, not able to surpress the gibe.

Charun's attack on the slime gets his warhammer stuck in the goo of the slime but he deals good damage, while Scylla moves into position to hit as many of the slimes with Burning hands as possible. The fire engulfs the slimes but none fall.

The fire as it hits the giant slime in the back, you can see get absorbed into the slime and the multi-chromatic slime suddenly turns a deep red color. The fire seemingly having no affect on the creature. You hear the corvum in the back sayThat one seems to change color based on the type of damage it takes....interesting as she moves along the back wall slowly.

Sherry takes out the slime next to her after Leif deals damage to it with an arrow and it fizzles and evaporates into nothing.

Just to be sure> Sherry was in flanking position with Charun against the big slime. So she still should be (maybe have to move 5 feet).

OOC:
Move: maybe 5 feet
Standard: Attack
Bonus: Attack
Move: maybe before or after the bonus attack, maybe not at all.

1. If the slime falls under her first attack, she would use the rest of her movement to rush to the other side of the next slime (green dot) and attack it with the bonus action.
2. Should the slime still be alive, the bonus action attack will be used as well against it.
3. Should the first slime fall under the second attack, Sherry makes her move to give Charun advantage on his next attack against the next slime (green dot).
4. If the former big slime still stands, she stays where she is atm.

Hope this makes it clear. :)

A potpourri of different coloured fluids on her keen blades, let the mapach hope, that this stuff isn't to caustic for the metal of her weapons.

Uncle Walden sent you? I told him i could handle myself in my letter... she then looks at Scylla wait you are the vulpin i met on the road.

She furrows her brow a little bit then sighs...i guess i do owe you my thanks. Name is Kenna and yes I am Winnowings Reach primary slime researcher. My Uncle seems to have sent you to help me, but jokes on him i got what i needed by myself.

The young corvum then tosses a thin vile in the air and catches it. Some unknown liquid inside.

Standing between all the dissolving slimes, Sherry performs a huge jump to get out of this zone. Somewhere dry and not stinking. Much better.

Cleaning her scimitars with a tattered rag, she takes a extensive look at Charun who had come to her aid and helped her dispatch of those oozes. Nasty bunch that they are. For an birdfolk-person this behaviour seems rather untypical to her. As a result she gifts him with a shy smile and a nod of appreciation as a thanks for his helping hand in this brief but brutal fight.

Sheading her now clean blades, she waltzes over to Kenna and greets her with the words: "And what might that be?" looking curious at the spinning vial.

She looks over at Kenna and her mind has gone blank. "Did we? Sorry, I had abrupt loss of consciousness due to external acid trauma."

She does move over and look at the bottle even and sidles over asking, "Can I get your notes on the slimes in this cave? Maybe copy what you've gotten just so I can add to it if necessary, in the future?"

I am here alone...to my knowledge but you guys are right. We should probably get out of here. As for the remains, I have what I need from them but what is this... Kenna picks up the orb that fell out of the Shifting slime and examines it a little.

Looks to be something that this sucker ate awhile back, maybe from some other adventurer or researcher....Here, you took it down. You have it. And she hands the orb to Sherry.

Kenna then perks up and turns to the exit. Lets go, best not wait for more of them to slink out of nowhere And she heads out the cave. Talking the whole time about how the shifting slime was the first she has seen and all the notes she gathered about it. She gives details about how the vial she had was in fact a vial of the shifting slime ooze she was planning to research to see if she can find something useful for.

As you get to the entrance of the cave outside is dark, night has descended upon the swamp.

Skillfully catching the orb, the mapach begins immediately to examine the orb. What colour? How does it look? What texture? Does anything happen when you shake it? Smell it?! Does it look valuable? If she concentrates does it fell special?

Looking up for a second, Sherry asks Kenna: "So do you know what happened to the slimes? Why are they so aggressive?" Maybe they should take samples or such like, because that's what people in these fields of study like to do in her mind.

Following the others outside, the slime-slaying-scimitar-slasher shrugs her shoulders. She can see quiet well in the dark and can hide even better at nighttime. But the others may not, so Sherry decides to follow what ever seems the most comfortable for the rest of her comrades.

Kenna answers any questions she is asked regarding the slime and her research.

To Sherry Around here they are usually pretty aggressive if you get within about 60ft of them. If you didn't know, they are actually blind creatures. So if you get too close, they automatically try and attack thinking you might be food.

There has been a witch living in the woods just north east of here, she has been scaring the townsfolk of late and if you could perhaps... He looks at Kenna sternly and lowers his voice ...end the problem for us. We would much appreciate it and it would do the townsfolk a great deed.

Can you send an envoy with us to negotiate with the so called witch? If the witch attacks then we can deffeb your envoy, but if we can come to an understanding with the person in question then your representative can act on your behalf then return and report on the events.

"Fine with me since it's on the way, as long as the group's also alright with it. I'll approach it with an open mind, but if this turns out to be nothing, it would not look good for you and your small town here." He frowned at the birdfolk, and then looked at the others to see what they thought.

Scylla points out, "Research indicates that soon after people begin calling someone a witch there is a high likelihood they will then bring the accused to a large log in the middle of the town square upon which they will attempt to burn the accused. With that in mind it behooves any arcane caster who is called a witch for their arcane practices to consider being rather belligerent with the people using the term."

Chapter 2: Winnowing Reach
Also an annoyingly cheerful and energetic morning person, Charun rises, performs his drills and devotions, and joins the rest as they eat then set out. As they head to the hermit's hut he asks Kenna, what can you tell us of the hermit. Do you know her name? What of her family? Is she from here or did she move here? How long has she been here? Are there any who still associate with her regularly that we can talk to? Any other details about her and her history with the town might help.

Leif was not a morning creature, and the chatter of the others before he’d had his tea and toast irritated him. Still, when Charun raised his smattering of questions, Leif’s ears perked up, and he listened in.

Not much is known about her...but I suspect that is the problem. She is a hedge, which I suspect is part of the reason there is some prejudice against her among some of the town leadership, and she wields magic. She has been around for many years but hasn't really come to town much until recently. She has been viewed going to the apothacary and based on the reports, she tries to acquire many rare goods that aren't available or the shop owner has no knowledge of.

Scylla wakes early and takes in her feeling of the key line. When done with that she sits and listens more to Kenna

"That's certainly not a crime," Leif chimed in. "I do hope you're right, and she proves innocent. We could do with more goodness and a lot less hatred, ignorance, and fear."
