I got ye. I'll only be a moment

Arten will take Quercus down the path towards the shrine. Once we get close, he will sneak ahead and climb a tree (with his thief's climbing speed) and try and get a glimpse of this beast.

Flash politely sends "get well soon" to Pyrax and confidently takes the stone path (leading to the shrine). Not hiding or anything

Beast sleeps not hurting anyone. Pyrax try to put it on fire while it sleeps (so gnomish!). Beast retaliate (but leave gnome alive). So far everything clear. she thinks.

Brother Treeflower: have the healers said much about the radiant energy from the creature? In my experience, Necrotic damage (such as from my Divine Spark) may help us, if fire didn't work. Would it be possible for me to have a quick discussion with them before we head out?
OOC:
I don't want to waste too much more time before leaving, but I feel like all the discussion about Pyrax and the Radiant energy of the feather are pretty big hints.
Jeckle wonders if the divine camaraderie felt with his brothers at the Selunite Temple is shared amongst other healers, even those of nature.
OOC:
I'd like to examine Pyrax's wounds and make a roll for Medicine to see if I notice anything:
OOC:
If I find that the creature is of a Divine nature, I would like to discuss the nature of the divine power with the other healers, if that's okay. If that first roll succeeds, I'd like to make a Religion check to learn from them.
OOC:
Regardless, after these rolls and any information I glean from them, I'm finished here and am happy to set out with the party!

Anders and Jeckle visits the healers hut where they Pyrax, of the lizardfolk. Pyrax's eyes are milky white and their skin is red and blistered. Jeckle examines Pyrax while Anders assists.

Jeckle concludes from the milky white eyes, that Pyrax have been blinded

Pyrax skin is covered in horrific sunburn; they have suffered severe radiant damage

The inside of Pyrax’s hand, which had grasped the feather Treeflower showed you, is entirely unburnt, indicating that the feather was plucked before they suffered the sunburn
OOC:
Adressing some easy and unnecessary confusion: According to the adventure, Pyrax is a non-binary lizardfolk
And some cool artwork from the book :D

Carefully Arten Redmiter crests the final stair while Flash sonders over. Both see the serine garden with the shrine at the end. In front of it sits some kind of colourful eyebeast and some glowing orbs that plays in and out of the shadows of the shrine.

Arten has a gray overlay to his token to indicate that he is stealthed

Quietly, to Flash, Mind yer step, the beast is just up ahead. I wouldn't try to get its attention if I were ye

Seeing the orbs, Arten will sit and watch how they interact (if they interact) with the eyebeast.
Feb 14, 2025 5:39 am
I will go figure out why gnome failed to mention orbs.
Please keep watching.
If you come down here I couldmake you invisible.


Flash will cast invisibility on Arten if he is willing to get closer to beast. Then go back to the healer tents to share about orbs. Figure out if orbs are supposed and to be protected

Staying behind a few steps, Quercus isn't keen on fighting this thing right now. Waiting until the group has gathered he stays silent. Keeping an eye out for Arten and the beast, the goliath is interested in the garden as well as in its inhabitants.
Feb 15, 2025 12:21 am
Arten has no need to stick around, He will go back to the healers tent with his companions
Feb 15, 2025 8:39 am
OK, then I'll do the watch, but you ask our patron what he knows about the orbs, deal? Hope to see you soon back with everyone

Flash casts invisibility on herself and will move closer to the shrine and observe creature, fish as well as any change in her own attitude: gnome told people become aggressive or something in the presence of beast - she don't believe gnome, but want to be sure.
OOC:
I would say I move to N23 if details matter. And I'm happy to wait for the rest of party to do whatever they want to do before they come to the shrine. I don't plan to undertake any activities until then unless the creature behaves aggressive and/or as if it see me, even the I will just try to get away.

Orbs of light? Treeflower points to a tiny winged creature fluttering about the trees outside trailing glittering light. Like those? They are all over this place. They comes from the faywild and are harmless
He looks expectantly at you.
Anything else before you make the shrine safe again?

Thank ye Treeflow'r - that should be all. Pyrax, rest up. We'll take care of that Beastie. Arten winks at the pair of druids

Arten turns to the rest of the group. Lads, got all the information you need? Otherwise, Flash is still at the shrine. I worry leaving her alone, seeing what that beast is capable of

Arten will describe the layout of the shrine to the party members who havent seen it yet

Seems like it can dish a bit of radiant damage, and seems it might'n be sun related. Any bright ideas on how to take 'er on?

Are you ready to take on the beast Public

Yes - Setup the battlemap again
No - We are not ready yet

What do you do?
Feb 17, 2025 10:53 pm
Well lads, I'll get to higher ground and keep ye covered

Arten will stealthily move to K35, moving between the trees and hopping to that standalone idol or whatever it is (granted it is large enough to hide behind) He will pull out his light crossbow and keep it aimed on the beast, ready to fire it it seems like it will charge his comrades. He has Light Crossbow mastery, so if he hits it, it should slow the beast enough to allow his friends to keep their distance.

When the group is ready, Anders will have his familiar turn invisible and stay on his shoulder for the moment. Shield in one hand and hand crossbow in the other, he is as ready as he can be. Unfortunately, Anders is not sneaky. He will approach once everyone is in position.

Don't want to alter my earlier action. Still doing that.

In the meantime, Quercus has prepared himself for battle and has slipped into his chest plate.

As the team begins to move, the giant tries to advance as unnoticed as possible.
OOC:
To reach G30 would be his goal atm.

No Pass without a trace? Anybody? ;)

So what's the plan? Talk first or kill first? Flash asks companions whoever want to listen. She is still not convinced that the creature has evil intentions.
