Are you guys staying here for a full day foraging and such? or are you walking along for the day?
Dec 26, 2016 5:31 pm
Wow Stool, look at this thing ! Well we know the river has fish in it.

Continues fishing.
OOC:
I think we should spend one day downtime to forage, fish etc. We could use it to fill our food and water stores.

Dustin seems excited with these glowy fish.

They don't have fish like these up in surface streams and rivers Stool, these things look scary but I like the lights on them."

Damage wise it is worse than your hammer. However, it is something that Francis could wield and could help as he has no dark vision. Just a single check is fine.
As you forage and hunt for the day, you find a reasonable amount of food, enough to supply the group for a few days. Daring and Derendil go hunting for larger zurkhwood pieces that could be turned into a raft. Does anyone spend the day investigating things in the glowing faerzress area? Also, they found enough herbs for your summon familiar spell Dustin. Finally, Sarith informs you that the glowballs on the fish have been a crucial component in magical inks for the drow priestesses. Mixing it with ash would allow for spell copying to occur.

I am ok with Francis having it for now but when and if we make it topside I'll give him a sword and take back the mace. Really just to sell for supplies we need.

We're any of the npc's or pc's interested in hearing the word of Dumathoin and receiving a blessing?

Bildaweer, after failing miserably to locate herbs, wanders over to sit next to Cemos for his gods blessing. Afterwards, he gives his thanks and decides to check out the faerzress area.

As you look through the glowing area of faerzress, nothing in particular jumps out at you. You do get a slight tingle in the bottom of your feet when you enter the glow.

How long do you spend inspecting/searching the faerzress?

Cemos I live in the forest, and have little to do with Dumathoin, yet I would gladly take his blessing, and will put it to good use helping one of his warriors find his path home.
Dec 27, 2016 2:06 am
A few minutes. Maybe 10 checking things out.
Dec 27, 2016 12:55 pm
As fang and bildaweer come by to sit and receive the blessing the others see a ritual ceremony that is reminiscent of Catholicism but with way less Latin and way more dwarven grunting.

Dustin will tell Bildaweer about the fishes glow glands and ash being used for magic inks.
He will ask if Bildaweer has any rituals and ask if Bildaweer wants to help out when Dustin does the Find Familiar ritual.

He will thank Sarith for helping them all survive down here in his world. Making sure to give Sarith some of the fish he had captured.

When Cemos offers prayers Dustin will bring Stool over and remain silent and respectful for the blessings.

Cemos stands over the kneeling participants in a ritualistic manner. Dumathoin is the god of the mountain strong and stead fast, but what is the mountain? The mountain is but earth ripped up from the depths of the Underdark and thrust into the light above. This earth is stronger then any other because it was made so by its trials. The trials of defeating the darkness and earning it's place high above all others. We to find ourselves undertaking trials of our own. The darkness we find ourselves in has taken much from us. We have lost friends, spilt blood and given up much of ourselves to our trial of darkness BUT WE TOO LIKE THE MOUNTAIN SHALL THRUST OURSELVES UPWARDS AND OUT OF THIS DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY AND FOR IT WE SHALL ALL BE MADE STRONGER! The path we must travel is long and fiends lie in wait. But as long as we have faith....have faith and hold stead fast like the mountain we too shall find our light at the end of this path.

May Dumathoin and the strength of the mountain be with you all.

Dustin liked it, it was very dwarven but also filled with hope and strength.
He just nodded silently.
Dec 27, 2016 5:35 pm
Bildaweer listens attentively to Cemos. He smiles, gets up and pumps his fist. He walks over to Dustin and agrees to assist him in his ritual.
OOC:
I guess I'll wait for the DM to tell me if its ok to use the glow glands and ash for magic inks to copy the identify spell despite the miserable dice throws I've been having. And what of the gold cost? Also, I guess we're spending a full day recuperating from our battle with the oozes?
Dec 27, 2016 5:44 pm
OOC:
Yes, that was the intent behind Sarith's information. You can use one glow bulb and ashes from any fire to record spells. The gold cost is meant to represent that magical inks you would consume. So for this purpose, 50 gp = 1 glowy ball.

That's the look is that you are taking the day to build a watercraft, gather supplies, and figure out if you're going to take the river route or if you're going to hoof it.
