"Let's see, shall we?"

Laulalith starts playing a light, yet melancholic tune on her flute that uplifts the spirits of those that hear it. As the notes drift over the swamp, the red disc starts rising from the mud.
OOC:
Using her Doss Lute Flute to cast Levitate on the disc.

Heres the map to help clarify Torhak’s question. Virtue is with Dubdub. Leith is with Vice, Laulalith and Torhak.

Madclergy: it's not a problem to swim through the swamp. Just don't open your mouth under water :)

Tryne stared as a dragon brought the bound Virtue over to the coach. He never thought he would see one, let alone talk with it. Did he know dragons could talk? perhaps he had heard the tale, but he was not sure if he had believed it.

Climbing down from the seat quickly, "Thank you for you help Dubdub." he opens the door of the coach. "Let's get her inside so we are ready to leave."

OOC:
I assumed, like myself, people don’t drink the lake water while they swim. Or in this case swamp water.

Although, you could drink it voluntarily I suppose.

Laulalith lets the disc hover at knee height and jumps onto it. Then she takes a seat and lets the disc rise until she is at eye-level with the minotaur at her side. "Torhak, please, can you give it a good push? I know how good you are at throwing things. Maybe you can get it all the way to the cart?"

"What about you Leith? Are you fit to swim across? Or do you need assistance?" We must hurry."

As Kalli and the small dragon help load the resistant Virtue aboard the cart, 37 and Tryne keep watch. The goblin keeps repeating that she is thirsty. Kalli gives her a drink of fresh water which Virtue immediately spits out. "It’s poisoned!", she exclaims as her eyes flash with red light.

Dubdub shakes his head, "She needs a proper healer. And soon.", he says gravely.

Laulalith begins moving the disc over the water and Leith swims on ahead. As he does, 37 and Tryne hear a number of splashes in the distance. Both realize their time has run out, the others the creature warned about will be there within a minute.
OOC:
You’ll have just enough time to make it to the cart.

Tell me how you’ll secure the lens.

"Can we tie it to the top of the carriage? It is far too large for my own bag. Unless someone has another idea? And quickly... we're out of time."

Laulalith navigates the lens to the roof of the cart and reaches for her rope - only to realise that she threw it to Torhak earlier.

"We need something to hold this down. Quickly. A rope! Or maybe Talon can hold it down."
OOC:
Forgot about rolling Perception

Tryne hearing the splashing in the distance, "Something is splashing out there, we are going to have company soon."

And a sudden engineering problem, "Looks too big to go through the coach door, Talon's not great at holding things. We can lash it quickly to the top, run the ropes through the windows. Just get it down fast for now and once we are away from here, I can figure something better."

Looking at Talon tied to the coach, "Anyone got more rope, mine's in use already."
OOC:

Did we bring the cart we were pulling last mission? I guess not.
Apr 29, 2025 1:50 pm
"My pack!" Torhak yelled in response to whether he had rope as he got the lens in place, "I can attempt to hold it in place while we tie it down, let's get moving!"
OOC:
Time to flex some massively magical muscles!
Apr 29, 2025 2:15 pm
Tryne grabbed the pack from the seat where his copilot usually sat and quickly got the rope. "Nothing fancy right now, just got to hold it in place until we have a quieter place to really secure it well."
OOC:

Like a mattress to the top of your mini van - easy - what could go wrong.

OOC:
It was my assumption you brought the cart to carry the water. I just didn't put it on the map to save space.

Between Laulaith's ten minutes of Levitate, quickly tethering it to the cart and Torhak's mighty magical muscles pinning it down, we'll say the lens is held down for now.
Laulalith hears the fast approaching creatures heading their direction and levitates the lens into the towed cart. The minotaur grabs his rope and lashes it quickly, choosing to hop on top of the lens to hold it down. Still under the elf's spell, the disc feels almost like a floating, wooden plank beneath him. Leith scrambles aboard the elemental cart, soaking wet. He has to pull his dripping clothes away from Virtue, as little goblin attempts to suckle the swamp water directly from them.
OOC:
Just waiting on Vice and Meepo and we're off!

"What happened to Windstrider? He was here, right?"

She pays close attention to the dragon as she says it.

Dubdub
"Windstrider? That would be Windchaser, Laulalith the Bard. And he would be me, right Stella?", Kalli's horse knickers to the surprise of her rider. "The animals call me Dubdub and that's enough for me."

The golden wyrmling spreads his wings in preparation for flight, possibly to show off, "I'll watch from above. These things cannot fly, but they do come on land when provoked. We have a long night ahead of us.", he warns, "What do you plan to do?"
Apr 29, 2025 6:16 pm
Vice is rushing back to the cart when he hears Dubdub. "Oh, Windchaser! We were told you could help us with a map." Then Vice decides to keep his mouth literally and figuratively shut until he was safely in the cart.
Apr 29, 2025 6:38 pm
Her suspicion confirmed, Laulalith nods to the dragon. "We plan to retreat Dubdub. Or rather, flee. We need to get out of the swamp and get Virtue to a healer."

Then she pulls out a small vial and drains it.
OOC:
Potion of healing
