"Crap this stuff is slick!"
I will try and stand. I will take a couple of shots with my bow.

Now standing you can use your bow but will need another save to walk out of the mess

Within the rock you hear some movement but see no targets at this time.

I will head toward the sounds on guard for more slime. I must vanquish this foe.

You reach the rock jumble and sigh at the cramped space and put away your bow for a blade. Stalking inside to use you ears as much as your eyes to try and find the thing.

Boggle

you hurt me, I hurt you you hear it cry out, the doubt echoing through the boulders. Another ripping sound and space opens to let a clear swipe at you before retracting.

Entering cautiously I will test this as you having used the evade action so you can test with disadvantage to avoid any attack that hits
you can attack once before the portal closes

Rolls

Bogle attack - (2d6)

(42) = 6

May 24, 2024 2:39 pm
As I see him pop up and miss the attack I take a swing with my sword. "You were the aggressor."

Rolls

to hit - (2d6)

I go back on guard listening and waiting for it to pop in again.

Would I start getting a grasp on the sounds it makes popping in so I know where it is coming in at? If I do I would just thrust that way with my sword.

OOC:
With 2 actions = Evade, Attack?

Thematically yes, mechanically it has not effect. This system keeps things simple. I could have granted the Boggle advantage on it's first portal attack but with you on guard I figured this canceled it out. Technically this systems has no hold action, but it also doesn't have portal powers so ... keeping it simple
Moving slowly, focusing more on defense and striking back at the creature, you inch your way deeper into the mass but then come to a section that you would need to crawl through

Boggle

You leave now or I get mad. snarls the creature as it lashes out once more, this time scoring a slash on your hip.

Evade = test with disadvantage to avoid any attack that hits

Boggle attack - (2d6)

(26) = 8

These portals are tricky

Yes, evade and attack sounds right

Rolls

evade - (1d6)

(2) = 2

May 24, 2024 3:18 pm
I will counter if possible. I don't trust that it would stop if I left.

Rolls

attack - (1d6)

(4) = 4

OOC:
FYI : as you are not trained with light weapons attacks are with disadvantage, 1d6. You can use your bow at disadvantage (10-25') for close range targets but not anything adjacent
From deeper within the jumble you hear a sudden yelp followed by sounds of movement. Then the voice of Calygraunts calls out
feystag / Calygraunts

Come help, it is slippery
May 24, 2024 4:30 pm
I will call out to Calygraunt "It dissipates with time."
OOC:
Have I finished crawling through the gap? If so I surely don't want to crawl back through. I will switch to my sword.
May 24, 2024 4:47 pm
You continue to crawl and find the two fey deeper in the jumble with Calygraunt "holding" the Boggle with its teeth sinking deeply into one of its arms. The Boggle is continuously secreting fluids across its entire body as it struggles to break free. Calygraunt is making gagging sounds as it struggles to keep a grip with it's hands as well but the slippery substance make this just about impossible.

feystag / Calygraunts

Around a mouthful of Boggle Calygraunts requests Tie it up or knock it out. This tats vile.
May 24, 2024 5:32 pm
I will try to knock it out since tying it up probably won't work since it can port out. I will hit it with the pommel of sword on the head.

Rolls

to hit - (2d6)

(45) = 9

May 24, 2024 5:33 pm
I figured 2d6 since Caly was holding it.
May 25, 2024 5:35 pm
Knocking out the Boggle the pair of you then drag it out of the rocky maze and into the sun.

feystag / Calygraunts

I thank you it says after taking a drink from a flask taken from its pouch. Scratching it's chin it seems to be pondering. Your help useful. But I catch. so... I pay this and reaching again into its pouch and pulls out 3 items. Choose is says
• A leaf that is perpetually on fire, the flame cannot spread and illuminates an area of 10ft.
• Seeking Sling : When tossed in the air and left to drop one string always lands pointing east from the center and the other string indicates the suns position in the sky as if a sun dial
• Change Cloak : The cloak slowly changes to meet your desires. Advantage on hiding if motionless for 1 minute

OOC:
Your intro is done so it is time to get you together with some others. There are other intros ongoing and starting soon that you can join or they join you, or there are a couple larger groups The Underdark and The Remnant

Let me know if you have a preference and I will move the story towards that.
May 25, 2024 6:52 pm
Stee looks at the items and chooses the leaf. "Thank you Calygraunts I am glad I could help. I also thank you for yours."
OOC:
As far as further adventure you can surprise me if you like. If the other groups need someone I am more than willing to join them

So will I continue on from here with a different link?
May 26, 2024 5:47 pm
Both groups would be happy to have Stee join, though I have no idea how you'd get him down to the Underdark.

For the Remnant group, I'm not sure the best way to get him there, but it'd be far, far easier than with the Underdark group. But, either way, he is welcome in either group!
