With the midday sun beating down on their backs, the party left the scorching sands of the beach and proceeded into the diseased jungle.
Chapter 2: Killing Some Stinky Trogs
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
Mar 11, 2017 5:57 am
It is now 4pm. You have travelled 6 miles, deep into the heart of this diseased jungle.
You currently staring up at a dead tree dangling with copper pots and other metal knick-knacks, all tied together with ropes. This is the third such tree you've seen. A single pull rope at the base of the tree looks like it can be pulled to bring the whole mess of metal bashing against each other like some kind of primitive alarm. A single troglodyte could have made quite the racket with this contraption.
The jungle is cooler and much darker than the beach, but also damper, stickier, and full of biting insects. The trees are unhealthy, having been chewed through by a passing swarm. Thick vines are choking out much of the vegetation, and thorny underbrush dominates the forest floor. Worst of all, the smell of Troglodyte hangs thick in the air.
Between the biting insects and Ygne's headache, she manages to lose the way. Luckily, with the help of Ryte's maps, you find yourself back on your way in about an hour.
Elspa diligently searches for useful plants to make her people's medicines with, but such plants are not flourishing in this sickly jungle and she finds nothing.
Frick has not seen or heard any sign of trogs along the way. However, on multiple occasions he guided the party around savage spiked pit traps that otherwise would have caused some nasty injuries.
Catching wind of the trogs has been easy; they haven't hid their tracks at all, and their potent odour and penchant for destruction has left telltale signs of their passing. Jarveena is pretty certain that the Trogs are holed up in a cave that opens out from a rocky outcropping that you can just make out through the underbrush up ahead. Frick has also spotted two concealed platforms that would have a good view of the terrain leading up to the cave entrance, one on either side of the cave but each one 30 feet high up in the trees.

Ryte walks up beside Jarveena "I don't like this, not at all...who knows how many are living in that cave." he looks at her with a smirk "What say you and I change that. I'd say it's about time they meet extinction."
Mar 11, 2017 3:23 pm
"Let's do it, I'm ready to kill some of the stinky bastards," Frick says happily, thumping the haft of the glaive on the ground in anticipation.
Mar 11, 2017 5:23 pm
"That barrel of rum I found back there might come in handy," says Elspa, who had elected to leave the heavy barrel behind. "We can set fire to it and roll it into the cave. I don't know if these frog-men drink."
Mar 11, 2017 5:29 pm
"Then you carry it," Elspa says, flatly. She jerks a thumb back in the direction the party came.
Mar 11, 2017 5:32 pm
"I'm probably going back for it once we got a shelter," Frick says, 100% serious.
Mar 11, 2017 5:43 pm
For those of you who succeeded on your Nature checks to identify Troglodytes, here's a reminder of what you know about their abilities:Something that you can all agree on: The elaborate rigging of these metal-strewn trees is far beyond their intelligence. Their religious practices are also peculiar. Rarely do such creatures move beyond devouring and violence, but you've witnessed complex ritualistic behaviour, albeit gruesome and gory.
If you wanted to return for the rum, it wouldn't take as long because you have Ryte's map. Moving the 300 lbs. barrel might be a challenge: 3 or 4 strong characters taking turns could do it but it would make stealth pretty difficult. You could find a way to split it up into easier to manage containers as well.
[ +- ] Trog Info
Chameleon Skin. The troglodyte has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide.
Stench. Any creature other than a troglodyte that starts its turn within 5 feet of the troglodyte must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of the creature's next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the stench of all troglodytes for 1 hour.
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the troglodyte has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Darkvision: 60 feet. If you go in to a dark room with a Troglodyte, they can see you and you can't see them.

"Doan' ye know, trogs c'n see in th' dark where our eyes ain' no good. I'm all fer Elspa's plan: burn 'em out with th' rum an' kill 'em when they bug out." Jarveena points up to the platforms. "I c'n rain death from above, aye." Jarveena secretly hopes there aren't more troglodytes than she has arrows.
Mar 12, 2017 8:24 pm
Ygne seems content to let the others decide this one. Though she tries to keep an eye on the cave entrance, she's instead spending most of her time picking burrs out of her clothes and hair from the bush she'd wandered into during their travels here.

OOC:
If hauling a big-ass barel o' booze through the jungle is what you're hankering to do, we will simplify this with having 2 characters do Athletics checks, DC 10. We will also roll for a chance of a random encounter since you can't be stealthy. So, roll your Athletics check and somebody roll a d6 for random encounter. If you roll a 5 or 6, roll a d20s for the type of encounter. I will be on around 8pm PST to resolve the trouble you get into :-)

You make excellent time and arrive just before the setting of the sun with a 300 lbs. barel of pirate-strength rum. It is twilight, which gives advantage on stealth but disadvantage on perception checks. You park yourselves just outside of visual range from the concealed platforms, just beside the clanging tree, while you set up for your assault.
Mar 13, 2017 11:51 pm
Jarveena scales a big, strong tree which, despite being strangled by vines is still standing. The smell of troglodytes is thick in the air, and you can see a troglodyte in each of the platforms near the entrance. They casually hold ropes which lead back to the clanging tree, presumably to trigger it. You have a reasonable line of sight to the entrance of the cave and the escarpment leading up to it
Mar 13, 2017 11:52 pm
OOC:
where does everyone want to set up? Kill watch trogs first? Try to disable clanging tree? Something else entirely? Mar 14, 2017 6:31 am
Jarveena lines up a shot at one of the trogs, but hesitates. She can take them both out from this distance in a heartbeat but there's a chance the falling corpses will yank those ropes and sound the alarm. Elspa and the others are still too far away to set up their ambush. Jarveena waves the others on and holds her position.

As the sun starts to set, the diseased jungle grows ever louder. The chirping insects are loud enough to make you have to raise your voice to speak with the person next to you. Fireflies are taking flight, filling the trees with wandering spectral lights. The last few lances of sunlight piercing the jungle canopy are being swallowed by steadily growing shadows.

Ygne looks to Frick, and then looks back at the trogs. She keeps crouched low, moving silently from point to point within concealment as she tries to get a closer look on their positions.

Frick and Ygne silently move into position. Looking above, they see two quick flashes as Jarveena's arrows pass through a shaft of dying light. The watch trogs are impaled against the platform, instantly dead. Their muscles don't even slacken to let go of the alarm's ropes.
Meanwhile, Elspa gets lost in the beautiful sparkly metal that is catching the last rays of sunlight.

Ryte, not one for tactics, waits for the rest of the group. He draws his dual rapiers in preparation.
Mar 15, 2017 1:02 pm
With a sad sigh, Frick helps the others prepare the barrel for lighting, "You own me a barrel of rum," he mutters.
Mar 15, 2017 1:29 pm
Ygne slowly, carefully, slides her blades from their sheathes, ready for the others to spring the trap.
Mar 15, 2017 9:21 pm
As you position yourself closer to the mouth of the cave, you can make out a few details in the gloom. The 10-foot wide cave entrance is natural in appearance and littered with broken rock and bone. The inside appears to be a steep slope that descends into darkness, and you will need to bring some light to bear to reveal more details within. The smell is ripe even a dozen feet away from the entrance.
Mar 16, 2017 6:35 am
One of the dead watch trogs slumps over and falls out of its concealment. It suddenly snaps to a halt halfway on to the ground, suspended from its wrist by the clanging tree cord.
Crash!
As the watch trog swings from the cord, it continues to yank on the cord, ringing the alarms repeatedly. In response, howls erupt from the cave, unmistakably trogs. Dozens of trogs.

Elspa smiles. "Someone showed initiative," she says, and readies her shield and axe. "Light that fuse," she directs, to no one in particular.
Mar 16, 2017 12:47 pm
Already in position by the barrel, Frick attempts to light it up. Frick lights it easily, then knocks it over and kicks it into the mouth of the cave, sighing in lament over the loss of rum. Once he's got it rolling, he grabs his glaive and prepares to fight.

The barel clatters down the dark maw of the cave. You hear it take a few bounces, followed by the yelping of trogs as they try to get out of the way.
When the barel blows, you feel the ground below your feet lurch. A flash of orange light explodes from the cave, followed by a cloud of dirt, debris, and a stench so strong it nearly knocks you off your feet. The whole jungle goes so quiet that you have to test your ears to make sure they didn't rupture in the deafening blast.
The silence is soon pierced by the wails of troglodytes below. It sounds like the cries of the dying in the aftermath of a particularly brutal battlefield.
The orange light continues to flicker from beneath the earth.

"That the sound of your heart breaking, Frick?" jokes Elspa. She lights a torch and starts to descend into the cave, shield held in front.

Frick nods solemnly, "Wasting that much rum... I'll never be able to forgive myself." he says, falling in step with Elspa.
Mar 16, 2017 11:50 pm
You find yourself breathing as little as possible as you make your way down the slick natural stone ramp of the cave. It widens out at the bottom where the remains of a fortified position lies in tatters. Fire still links at shattered wooden ramparts. Scorched tree roots dangle limped from the ceiling. Bits and pieces of troglodyte defenders litter the macabre scene like a butcher's store after a hurricane.
After the the ramparts, the natural cave opens up into a 100' x 50' irregularly shaped cavern with low ceilings. Strange, rotruding crystals glint dull light off your torch, filling the space with a dim light.
Interspersed between stalactites and stalagmites (great hiding spots for ambushed you note), human bodies are suspended upside down, naked save for random metal trinkets dangling from various parts. They hang from metal rings driven into the ceiling. Copper pots collect the blood draining from their corpses, mostly full.
50 feet away is an artificially carved opening in the stone wall, carved to look like the gaping maw of a snake. Torchlight burns bright from the opening, illuminating four figures that dash out from the other side. These creatures look like bigger, meaner older brothers of the trogs you encountered on the beach. They scream with pure rage and break out into a full run at you.

Jarveena careful aim and readies an attack for when an ally gets within 5 feet of an enemy.
The Broadsword and Battleaxe wielding Broodguards dart between the stalagmites and corpses with practiced precision. They take their time, making use of the cover and shadows of their home turf.
The Kopesh wielder moves to the right flank where it is surprised by Ygne, who drives her dagger home deep in it's back. It lets loose a horrible wail. At the same time, Jarveena lets her arrow fly, but the eye-burning stench and the low light combine to make a hellish condition for archery. The arrow sails wide.
The Kopesh wielder retaliates with a horrible fury against Ygne. She deftly dodges all the attacks but one, which does not cut much more than armour. (4 slashing damage, feel free to declare uncanny dodge).
2. Rolling for Jarveena... miss. 1 superiority die used up.
3. Kopesh moves 20 feet up and is shanked by Ygne. It uses "Reckless Attack." Like the barbarian: all attacks it makes this turn have advantage, but all attacks against it also have advantage until the start of its next turn. Forgot to include the +4 attack modifier in the roll, used mental math instead. Kopesh has half cover (+2 AC) vs. ranged attacks.

Elspa growls, the lust for battle taking hold. She kicks one of the buckets of blood over at the two broodguards on the left flank and charges, swinging recklessly at the battleaxe-wielding one. Her first slash comes down from an outward angle, then she turns the head of her blade and brings it back across the chest before rotating her shield back into place.

Ygne pulls a back-bending stunt that looks impossibly stressful upon her spine in order to lessen the cut from the enemy's khopesh.

Ygne turns just in time to take the full force of the Saber-wielder's charge into her chest. Her shortsword comes loose due to the power behind the attack. She collapses back, wheezing as the air flies from her lungs. She draws her dagger in a reverse grip, making rapid, deadly stabs toward the creature's belly, and slashing with the blade in her other hand.

Jarveena snarls angrily as her arrow goes wide. She quickly nocks another and takes careful aim. The lunging combatants jostle the dangling bodies, setting them swinging, casting swaying shadows in the soft light of the strange crystals tinged red by the blood-slick floor. Why, it's a little bit like a battle on a ship's deck! Jarveena slows her breathing, focuses on the sabre-wielding trog's left eye, and lets fly her arrow.

Between Jarveena and Ygne's attacks, the troglodyte staggers back, but its inhuman head snaps back, flames of hate in its eyes. Its singular purpose does not waver even as it faces probable death.
On the left flank, broadswords and battleaxes flash as the Broodguards fight for their lives. They level everything they have against the big woman with the axe.

Fueled by pain and blood, Elspa's attacks become more animalistic. She shoves the broodguard with the broadsword to the ground toward one of the stalagmites, hoping to impale it. Meanwhile, her fury slashes into the broodguard with the battleaxe, hacking away with quick overhead chops.

The remaining troglodytes are cut down in short order, their stolen bronze weapons clattering to the floor one after another. Elspa impales the final creature on a stalagmite unceremoniously.
The snake-shaped doorway remains at the far end of the cavern, bright orange firelight spilling from the maw. It dawns on you that it is strange for Trogs to use torches down here since they can see in the dark. The headless corpses continue to sway in the orange light, and you see a red scarf dangling from the waist of one, most certainly belonging to Captain Leatha "Fishwife" Gabranth. The strange crystals continue to reflect the light in the cavern, although they seem to flicker with a life of their own. And there is of course, the exit toward the way you came in.
It is just past 7 and night is falling. What next, brave adventurers?

Ygne
Ygne's search is a disgusting one, but fruitful. Aside from their weapons, the Troglodytes have adorned themselves with metal fetishes, much of which is silver and gold. Much of this is coins strung together with sinew (50 gp), but you also find a silver dagger tucked behind a leathery skin fold in one of the creature's tail. Its handle and crosspiece is worked to look like intertwined snakes.
Ygne also notices that one of the Trogs has had some recent surgery. Stiches patch up a wound on the side of one's head, the work of a competent surgeon.
Ryte
Ryte begins cutting down the bodies. They are pale and stiff, much of their mass drained into the pots on the ground. You are pretty certain the cords tying the bodies are intestines.
Elspa & Frick
Elspa and Frick follow a short hall down the gullet of the snakehead entrance that leads to a well-lit square antechamber. The room has been wall-to-wall smeared in blood. Dozens of oil lamps, candles, and other sources of light sit on the floor around the perimeter of the room.
The north-facing wall of the antechamber is dominated by a massive carving which depicts dozens of humanoid creatures with snake heads looking up to a human male on an massive elevated throne. Majestic beams of light leap forth from the throne and the mysterious seated figure. The scene overlooks a massive pit with giant, bizarre monsters writhing about, emanating from a dark, swirling hole. Fountains pour liquid into the pit, and naked human bodies are being tossed in as well for good measure. All of this is far too elaborate to have ever been created by a Troglodyte.
Exits lead east and west from the antechamber. The eastern one is a downward spiralling stair carved into the rock. The west is slightly obscured doorway with a crude curtain fashioned from a sail. The light that spills into the room beyond illuminates some kind of statues hanging from the walls, as well as a good deal of debris on the ground, some of which glints brilliantly in the candlelight like metal.

Wordlessly, Jarveena lends what meager help she can to Ryte cutting down the corpses, many of whom she recognizes as crew mates. She treats Leatha's corpse with special care, gently arranging the captain's splayed arms and soiled clothing. She tries hard not to cry again. "We've gots t' burn 'em." she whispers to Ryte.

"I don't know what you believe in, Jarveena, but my mother had a saying when I was young. 'Tuin man lende, tir nia ammen', it's elvish for 'Those who leave, watch over us'. You will see her again when it's your time, so don't waste it in a puddle of tears; she'd want you to move on and better yourself, escape this island and live a happy life. Be strong..." Ryte lifts Jarveena chin "Tuin man lende, tir nia ammen."

This time Jarveena flinches from Ryte's touch. But she rises to her feet and wipes away at unshed tears. "Aye." she responds simply.

Frick
Frick examines the stone brick floor washed in blood. There are only candles and lamps on the stone, but you also notice track marks left in the dried blood. Most are the kind left by sharp claws and scaled feet, but you do notice one unmistakable boot print pressed into the cruor heading down the stair.
You also notice a single loose brick. Prying it up, you reveal that the stone floor was laid upon another surface - black, cold, and perfectly smooth.
Elspa
Elspa peers beyond the curtain. The statues are revealed to be figureheads of old ships, mounted on the walls like trophies. Bare-chested mermaids and heavenly angels all stare down at the room in horror: this appears to be the troglodytes' dining hall. As if a macabre parody of a lordly feast, the hall is filled with shining bronze platters full of half-eaten limbs and copper pots filled with hearts and spleens. The spaces between are littered with cracked bones sucked clean of marrow.
At the back, you spy the Sea Witch's figurehead, cracked down the middle, waiting to be mounted on the wall.

Ygne, recognizing their value, begins pocketing the fetishes. She also takes the dagger and slips it proudly through her belt after admiring its gleam for a moment. She ponders the stitching on the side of the creature's head, but does not find it anything more than noteworthy, and she rises once more to her feet. Afterward, her hands a mess with gore, she smears them down the front of her jerking and walks toward the large design on the north wall.
She steps over to Frick, looking somewhat uncomfortable and grumpy. As she watches him work with the loose brick, Ygne is reaching into her mouth and wiggling a loose tooth. She spits the bad taste from her mouth once more, and asks Frick, "Find anything good?"

Ygne steps over to her pack--which had fallen to the floor when she'd been hit--and upon doing so, notices her dropped shortsword. Collecting that, she sheathes it once more, and begins to root through her belongings. Pulling free a lantern and oil, she fills it up and sets it the burning, the bullseye style shedding a bright light in a cone ahead of her. With everything prepared, she picks up her pack and slings it back onto her shoulders, which sag a bit from the weight. "Floor within a floor," Ygne repeats Frick's words at a low mumble a while later, almost distastefully, "Stupid. Only need one floor."
Ygne walks toward Elspa and, somewhat petulantly, offers the lantern out toward her without a word.

You descend deeper into the earth through the wide tunnel. The walls here are pocked with the same strange crystals as above, reflecting the lamp light and retaining a glow of their own after you pass.
As the tunnel winds its way through the earth, you begin to hear the sound of cascading water ahead. The tunnel eventually levels out, the bottom submerged within several feet of saltwater and dripping through the ceiling. As you slosh through it waist-deep, you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Turning off your lights, you make your way to the source.
Peering around the corner, you see that the tunnel opens up into a volumous, torchlit cavern with a cracked, rounded dome. Water is gushing in through that wide crack with a deafening roar, filling the cavern with a thick mist. At the centre of the cavern, about 40 feet from your location, a large stack of crates and barrels has created an artificial island.
Atop the island, a haggard looking man sits in a modest wooden throne. He looks weary, his head in one of his hands.
He is flanked by three Broodguards, one of which has a beautiful rapier slung at its hip - Jarveena and Elspa recognize it as Leathe's own steel. The other two Broodguards are busy tossing body parts and buckets of blood into the water between you and them.

The ground in this cavern is submerged in 3 feet of water and will count as difficult terrain. Climbing the crates to get to the top of the island will require a DC 10 athletics check.

"Hey!" Ygne shouts, figuring that their sloshing has generated enough noise to render stealth useless (though she hadn't really thought it through that far). "Hey, you, on the boxes!" She points a finger, the rest of the hand gripping her blade, "Are ya human? Are you king here?"
Mar 22, 2017 9:31 am
Jarveena comes up behind Ygne and peers around the corner at whomever the other woman is speaking to. The instant she lays eye on Leatha's sword she angrily whips an arrow onto her bowstring and lets fly.

As Ygne calls out, the man on the throne makes his move, pulling a weapon from a concealment. The manacle on his wrist barely even clicks as he readies his strike.

With the trogs turning their backs to me to face the intruders, Moss slowly takes a blowgun out of his sleeve and aims for the artery in the back of the neck of the closest one. Then hurries to reload and fire again on his companion...

Ygne's shouts startle the Trogs, who scramble for weapons. As Jarveena's opening salvo thwacks into the makeshift wooden dais, Moss takes advantage of the distraction and puts two darts his keepers (20 on One-Eye , 10 on Two-Tails). Frick and Elspa charge forward, launching javelins at the Trog who dares to wear Leathe's rapier (8+11+12 = 31 damage). Ygne sets up shop at the base of the platform, ready to strike.
The troglodytes seek retribution. One-eye turns to the man on the throne and unleashes a horrible series of blows (16 damage). The two-tailed one pulls out spears of its own and hurls them back at Frick - one connects (8 damage). The rapier wielder pulls out a nautical whistle, and blows loudly. It then falls back, climbing down the back-side of the platform and hides (gaining total cover for now and a hide DC of 17).
As if summoned by the whistle, a massive, twisted abomination bursts forth from under behind the waterfall. It shambles forward in the water, its speed unimpeded by the water. It makes its way towards a corpse floating in the water, then sees live prey and dashes towards Frick and Elspa, screaming inhumanly loud enough to drown out the roaring waterfall.
To keep things simple, let's just retcon that Frick and Elspa having javelins in hand when the combat began (not even sure if Frick needs a retcon for that). That way Elspa can do the two attacks she stated without dropping her axe, and you can get your two attacks off. It seems like a reasonable thing seasoned warriors like yourselves would have pulled off while Ygne and Moss made small talk :) I've made this assumption in the round 1 summary above!
For future reference, I do like to adhere to the interaction rules in the PHB (and all rules) when possible, thanks for asking first!

Interesting Features
Waist-deep bloody water (difficult terrain)
Heavy mist (everything lightly obscured)
Deafening Waterfall
Makeshift platform made of crates (climb up: DC 10 athletics)
Notes:
1. To climb up the platform will take a successful DC 10 athletics check.
2. You cannot attack Rapier Trog unless you Passive Perception is 23 or higher (-5 because of mist) until it reveals itself or you use an action to spot it (Perception check, disadvantage)
One a side note, I hope these summaries aren't information overload. I'm trying to find a good balance to succinctly summarize info so we can have some meaty tactical combats with interesting features without slowing the game down.

Jarveena won't be able to use that 31-damage crit on Rapier Trog because it hid, so you can retcon her target, Jabes. If you target the Shambling Mound or the One-Eyed Trog hitting on Moss (nevermind it's dead) you can also add an additional 1d6 damage for critting with sneak attack. If you target Two-Tail Trog, you'll have to drop the 4 damage from sneak attack because it is not adjacent to an enemy and you don't have advantage.One a side note, I hope these summaries aren't information overload.

Unbeknownst to the two-tailed trog, old one-eyed falls to the platform, twitching and spurting blood from its face. Two-tails is too busy watching as Frick and Elspa hack its beautiful pet to pieces! He screams in rage, leaps to the ground, and charges at Elspa through the water. It drops its spear and attack tooth and claw, so blind is its rage (25 / 2 = 12 damage to Elspa).
The Rapier-wielding trog gives up its hiding spot, and crawls back onto the platform. It sees Moss hiding behind the throne, and hisses in draconic:
and advances, steel drawn. Moss parries the blade but its talons leave their mark (4 + 8 damage to Moss, feel free to use uncanny dodge on either attack).
Meanwhile, the shambling mound reels in the face of Frick's furious attack. Entire clumps of vines severed from its body, it manages to stabalize and counterattack. But the small target is too fast, and its massive fists miss their target!

RYTE
The walking troglodyte corpses are taken by surprise. Ryte knocks down one of them, its leg muscles sloughing with the impact of the arrow. The second and third corpse's heads jerk around at impossible angles and stares at you hungrily. You manage to get a solid shot right between the eyes of the Kopesh wielder and then bolt down the gullet of the snake. The first rises as if untroubled by the loss of its calf, and all three race after you.

Ryte draws his bow, silently nocking an arrow. He takes a deep breath as a somber smile creeps across his mouth Tuin man lende, tir nia ammen. Aiming to take out the leg, he releases the arrow before releasing his breath. He quickly nocks another arrow and fires it just as fast. He then makes his way to put as much distance in between him and the risen as he can.Start of Round 3:

Jarveena continues inching along the wall, hoping to spot the trog who took Leatha's sword. The moment it shows its ugly face again she snaps her bow up to take it out but the stranger on the throne sinks his blades into the Trog, depriving her of her kill. Roaring with rage, Jarveena takes her frustration out on the shambling mound...but her shot goes wide.

The rapier-wielding troglodyte falls to the ground dead, its precious weapon clattering to the ground and rolling to the edge of the platform, tottering precariously.
Two-Tails keeps coming at Elspa, even though it's bloodied and bleeding badly, raking claws against flesh (10/2 = 5 damage).
The shambling mound takes a few more hits and stands on the edge of collapse, driven solely by its murderous rage. It manages to finally connect with Frick despite his gleeful maneuvering (10 damage).

Pausing to fire, Ryte gets two solid hits on Battleaxe (21/45 hp), but it doesn't even slow it down. You grab one of the lanterns on the floor and turn down the stairway, scattering some of the candles. As you turn to run again, Kopesh and Battleaxe manage to catch up to you, swinging wildly at your heels. There are no advantageous chokepoints in this damned 10-foot wide snake-like tunnel, but the sounds of water falling are getting louder.

After taking you action surge and moving another 30 feet, Kopesh and Battleaxe will dash and get next to you. At the start of your next turn, if you choose to dash again, you will take 2 opportunity attacks. It will take 2 turns of dashing to get to the bottom of the stairs, which will mean 4 opportunity attacks (they don't get multi-attack on. Alternatively you can choose to stand your ground and fight, but that's going to start adding up to 6 and then 9 attacks per round unless you can kill them fast enough.What does Ryte do?

Jarveena stops at the base of the platform and realizes that to reach the rapier she'll have to come within the stranger's striking distance. She could easily pick the manacles, free the man of his bonds, but should she? She looks at Ygne and jerks her head at the man. "What d'ye think?" she asks in Thieves' Cant.

Ryte executes some of the most beautiful swordsmanship ever performed on Thule. Amidst the unholy fury of the zombies, he manages to find an opening and drive his rapier all the way through Battleaxe's torso, shattering its vertebrae and splitting in half. As it falls, he performs maneuvers some master swordsmen would doubt were even possible, dancing between the jaws and claws, raining strike after strike on the lifeless horrors. Kopesh's namesake sword along with its arm and half its face lie in a heap on the ground beside Battleaxe.
And yet they keep coming.
Ryte dodges as many attacks as he can, but no human could withstand all of those flailing arms and teeth (23 damage, unless you have any more tricks up your sleeve?).

I was more prisoner than king despite me sitting on a throne. I just kept myself useful to ensure I didn't end up as dinner, and in doing so convinced them that I was a messiah. They didn't revere me, they coveted me, they thought my presence would usher them in a new age. Trust me, they are not capable of love, only jealous possession. They'd rather kill me than let me spoil their idea of messiah...

Moss laughed at the question...
Nothing grand, you see all I had to do is show them a few tricks. Primitive as they are, it was more than enough to impress them. I showed them how to do a basic alarm with pots and rope and healed a few of them that would have died. I managed to study a few of their dead enough to be able to work my arts. But the weird thing is each time they brought me a body to study it it was missing the head. Never telled me why, each time I asked they started praying...

Ygne looks over at Jarveena's canting - the body language, the careful use of phrasing and specific lexicon - and she settles upon her a firm gaze. A series of finger twitches and sniffles; the shuffling of her body; the indicative way in which she cracks her neck and rolls her shoulders says to Jarveena that Ygne thinks Moss is telling the truth, but she isn't so sure about his character yet or not.
"Weird." Ygne chimes at Moss' story, with no hint given at the secret conversation with Jarveena (entirely unaware that Moss can likely pick up on this hidden dialogue), "Weird and gross." She wipes her nose on her sleeve and then gestures to the dead lizards, addressing Moss once more, "You're a bad king."
Afterward she approaches him and adds, "But even bad kings can be rich kings, so you owe me two gold bits for this." She'll then pull out the appropriate tools and set to picking Moss' ankle free.

"Elspa," answers the barbarian, and she sweeps her axe across the weapons of the fallen broodguards. "You good with any of those?"

Putting away her tools after freeing Moss, the 'sneaky child' sniffs and introduces herself, "Ygne the Merciful." She then stares at Elspa a moment, looking confused. When she introduces herself, Ygne nods her head and says, "Oh yeah, Elspa. Oh, and that's Frick, and that's... uhm..."
She pauses and looks puzzled toward Jarveena, mumbling, "Actually, I don't remember her name, neither."
"There's also a coxcomb around here somewhere, named something with an 'R'. He'll give you gold if you listen to him lecture."

Frick smiles, standing over the body of the shambling mound, "Guess we got us a tag-along? Fine by me, just don't get in my way in a fight and we'll get along great."
Mar 26, 2017 4:56 am
Jarveena clambers up the platform to claim the rapier with a strength she didn't know she had. She picks it up and holds it to her chest. "Jarveena." she says to the newcomer, Moss. Looking down at the weapon she wonders what to do with it next. Bury it somewhere with Leatha's bones? She imagines the Fishwife would frown on that - this steel is meant to be used. But swordplay isn't Jarveena's style. She looks at Elspa... nope, not her style either. And the rest...well, she just doesn't know or trust them enough just yet. She stows the weapon for now and starts climbing down to see if she can recover any of her arrows. As Ygne mentions Ryte, Jarveena wonders where the man has gone off to.

"Sail away to the bigger island, I hope," Ygne adds to Jarveena, "There's treasure to be had over there, I've been told. My treasure, soon enough."
She sniffs, and spits into the water, "Might be you think you're shipwrecked and stranded, but Frick an' I are right where we want to be." She glances over toward Frick, as though for confirmation.

Ygne has a head wound on the back of her head that may have begun bleeding again from all of the strain of combat. She's constantly squinting her eyes to see anything further away than arm's reach. Her bottom lip is busted and bloody, and a thick bruise around her right eye is forming. She looks to be in somewhat bad shape, but seems very accepting of these conditions, as though they are normal for her.
Ygne, however, looks to be one of the most disagreeable patients that a healer could ask for.

Frick nods confirmation to Ygne with a smile. He's pretty much covered in blood by this point, but it's hard to tell how much is his. "I don't care where we go, so long as there's fun to be had. But one of you owes me a barrel of rum!"

As you make your way down the gullet of the snake-shaped cave, you hear the sound of sword play. Two horrific shapes illuminated by a lantern on the floor are hunched over a body, feasting on its flesh. A second body, more a shattered collection of body parts, lies in a heap. They hear you as you approach, and rise unnaturally.

"Frick!" Ygne calls out as she dashes down the boxes as quickly and easily as though they were a level plane. She rips her blades from their sheathes and lunges off of the heightened platform and past Two-Tails. As she flies past him, she attempts to drag one of her blades across his spine. Her trajectory lands her into the water just past the Trog, and after becoming submerged, she keeps low, beneath the water's surface, for some time. She emerges several feet beyond the Trog, her movements muted by the deafening waterfall and concealed by a combination of water and mist.
Also, because everyone else has posted it, Ygne is at 13/38.

[ +- ] Second-Story Work
"Climbing no longer costs you extra movement." I'm not sure if this is intended for running downhill on this pile Ygne's standing on, since it could've been phrased as "climbing down," but I was mostly intending to just be flavorful. Also, I add my Dex Mod to my running jump distance, which should help with what I mention below in Long Jump.
[ +- ] Long Jump
According to the book, if I move at least 10 feet beforehand (which is my intent), I can long jump a number of feet equal to my strength score, which is 12. Thanks to Second-Story Work, I add my +4 Dex Mod to this amount, for a total of 16 feet. Because I'm landing in Difficult Terrain, the book says I have to make a DC 10 Acrobatics check to not fall prone.

So creatures that are surprised supposedly don't gain Reactions, which is why Ygne is doing her hit-and-run, hopefully with no chance of suffering an OA.

JARVEENA, ELSPA, AND MOSS (on the platform)
Moss gets the jump on the One-Eyed Troglodyte. He skewers the abomination with expert precision, but the creature continues moving.
Jarveena follows up on troglodyte formerly known as Rapier right through the throat as Elpsa savages it with blows. But, she is caught off guard by Two-Tails, which sinks its claws into her.
Elspa rallies, trying to drive One-Eye from the platform, but she is weak from her wounds and it holds on! Rapier takes advantage of her shield being turned against One-Eye and digs its fangs into her undefended flank (17 damage). As Elspa reels, One Eye gets a claw past her shield and digs deep, knocking her unconscious (6 damage).

Ygne spins about in the water, catching the sight of Elspa falling and Moss being surrounded by three of the Trogs. Her eyes drift to Frick, battling against the monstrous beast by himself. There's a split second of decision-making before she begins weaving through the splashing waters and bypassing the Shambling Mound. She vaults up the pile of crates, aiming her shortsword at rapier Trog, and plunging it into his back. The blade drives between two sections of the Trog's spine with an audible pop, which turns into a loud crack as Ygne twists the blade roughly. She elects to leave her shortsword jammed into the beast's back, and she calls out, "King Moss!" A flash of steel and a dagger is in her freed hand, before Ygne whips her arm and sends the blade spinning like a deadly disc toward One-Eyed Trog nearby, which stabs into it's body with uncertain results...
[ +- ] A bunch of OOC talk/question for GM
Since I got a crit, I just wrote that the first one died, since Undead Fortitude wouldn't activate. I hope that was alright! I can slow down if need be. Using abilities like Second-Story Work and two-weapon fighting again. I messed up and added Dex mod to damage on the attack against One-Eyed Trog, so the damage should only be 4, not 8.
Oh, lastly, if there's a way to get to the pile without suffering an OA from the mound, I'd much prefer to do that. If that's impossible, Ygne will suffer an OA to do what she did.
Oh, and lastly-lastly, if this is okay, since I would have noticed that I got a crit on my first attack, could I have decided to hold my sneak attack roll for One-Eye, that way he (hopefully) dies, or at least has to test Undead Fortitude? I can start rolling attacks and damage separately so that this isn't an issue in the future. Just wondering. No biggy if it's too finicky with rules or something.

Wow, missed your post entirely, my appologies. Just a sec.. 1. No op attack. You were hidden.
2. Yes you can hold your sneak for second attack. Finicky rules are fun!
So, I'm to tired too add correctly right now! I think what you were asking all checks out so let us know what the damage was on each target (fairly sure you can kill Rapier and One Eye). I'll roll undead fortitude for the non-critted trog now and we can compare the results to your damage after and it will fail spectacularly.

Ygne falls upon the remaining animated corpse like a dark shadow, prying them apart at their weakest points. Rapier and One-Eye go limp and they fall to the platform in a heap of gore.
Frick levels a few more good hits against his foe, but if this horror felt any pain from these grievous wounds, it did not show it. It looms closer now, towering above Frick, tentacle vines circling from either side in the filthy water.

Elspa rises to one knee after her first swing, and with a roar brings her blade around in an overhead chop.

Elspa launches the last troglodyte off the platform along with a heap of heavy crates, sending them into the path of the Shambling Mound. The troglodyte smashes to pieces as the crates cascade into the shambling mound, knocking it off balance.
Moss's arrow gets lost in the debris from the platform, while Frick stubbornly beats on the monster's backside. The confused monster struggles to turn toward Frick to finish him off, then topples as Rygnar runs into him, landing with an enormous splash.

Ryte opened his eyes. He could feel the throbbing black cord almost immediately, pumping corruption and power into his body. An incredible hunger drove him to his feet. He picked up the two rapiers he had wielded in life and stalked silently down the tunnel toward the waterfall.
He turned the corner, and saw the battle raging in the cavern beyond. His former comrades gathered around a great monstrosity, hacking and slashing at it as it pummelled them with tumored tentacles. He could see the monstrosity's own black cord too, trailing off in the same direction as his own.
He observed their tactics, their tricks, their movements, all the while gripping his swords tightly. He had never felt stronger, and he knew at once he could take them all. He ached so badly to extinguish their lives. But, that was not to be, for this night he felt the silent summons that called him to the source of his black cord. He took one last look at the battle before departing.
"Tuin man lende, tir nia ammen" he spat, his voice cracking.

The shambling mound rises from the water, water and filth pouring out of its many, many wounds. It refuses to die, and knocks Jarveena's arrow out of the air with a lashing vine. Its hunger will not be refused! It unleashes a horrifying roar as it lashes out in two directions. (Frick takes 11 damage)

Elspa gets back to her feet after recovering from kicking the platform down. "I know that roar," she mutters with a half-grin, and launches herself into the air for the shambling mound, letting the momentum from her leap drive her axe in.

With the immediate threat gone, Rygnar's vision clears as he turns to Elspa, and a relieved smile dons his lips. Unsure if the other humans are threats or not, he opts to keep his sword out, proudly coated in the gore of his previous victims. He reaches out and embraces Elspa in a one arm hug; probably much to her surprise, she could of sworn she saw tears in his eyes.

Once the danger is passed, Moss hurries in the water to find Frick. When he finds him, he tries to bring him back on the edge of the platform and uses his healers kit to revive him...

After the fight, Ygne turns to Rygnar, blades at the ready. The dark lighting and the mist make her uncertain as to whether he's alive or recently risen, but the way that he treats Elspa is a relief. The thief relaxes, and then pivots as she realizes she cannot find Frick. He was on the other side of the mound while they were fighting, and she heard the beast striking his armor. With a bit of a panic, she surges into the water and searches around blindly for her friend. She comes up moments later, turning left and right in search, until she sees that Moss had found him. She lets out a relieved breath, and takes a quick look around to make certain that no one had seen her reaction. With a huff, Ygne then climbs the pile and goes about collecting whatever weapons she'd dropped or thrown.
"I'm fine," she says to Moss at his offer. Then something dawns on her, and a chill creeps up her spine. She, in an attempt to sound casual, asks Rygnar, "How did you get down here? Wasn't there someone guarding the way?"

Jarveena watches the newcomer warily. Another man. Thankfully, Elspa seems to know him. But how the hell did he get here? Was he on the Black Lotus? Or hss he been here for a time like this Moss fellow? So many questions. Jarveena shakes her head. Spotting one of her arrows floating in the bloody water, she slips off the platform to retrieve it. Still usable. Hopefully, won't have to so soon. "Ye think these fuckers'll rise back up? We better git movin'"

"You ol' bear!" Elspa calls out, cuffing Rygnar across the jaw. "What'd you do, swim the whole way? You're like a lost puppy!" With the reunion, she momentarily forgets the pain and exhaustion setting in.
Mar 31, 2017 6:31 am
"Fisherman brought me close then I swam to shore." Rygnar looks over Elspa, ignoring Ygne, then he calls out "Her wounds, tend to her." he doesn't take his eyes off Elspa but is very obviously responding to Moss's offer.
Mar 31, 2017 6:44 am
"Jarveena, this is Rygnar, my old packmate," says Elspa. "He was with me when I signed on t' the Sea Witch, afore we found out he didn't make the cut."
As talk turns to the corpses that come back to life, Elspa suggests, "Maybe chop off their heads. They's did that to the others that washed up, and I never see them start walking again."

Jarveena nods in acknowledgement of Rygnar. Pointing to his huge sword she says, "Tha' look'h like th' righ' tool fer choppin' 'eads"
Mar 31, 2017 7:39 am
Rygnar grunts to Jarveena, obviously only because Elspa acknowledged her. He is way ahead of Jarveena's suggestion as he hoists his sword up, unsure of where the mound's head is, he starts to just wail on it until it's upper portion is minced.
Mar 31, 2017 9:00 am
"Heeelllooo?" Ygne cups her hands over her mouth and shouts toward Rygnar. Scowling at being ignored, she gestures to the others and points at the man, "Hey, excuse me, but is no one else curious about how the hells he got in here? Shouldn't he have been stopped by our companion at the entrance?"
She pauses a moment, trying to remember the name, and then shouts, "What'd you do to Ryte, you overgrown scab?!" Ygne grits her teeth, stepping up toward Rygnar angrily. The difference in size and the ease by which Rygnar could crush her seems to either not occur to her, or not concern her. Likely it is the former.

Mar 31, 2017 10:04 am
Being alone for so long, Rygnar got used to letting his anger overtake him. At Ygne's minor "insult", he stops chopping the undead corpse, his shoulders stiffen as they flex in anticipation, his grip around his sword tightens, and his teeth grit against each other; his body language says a strike is imminent.
Mar 31, 2017 10:21 am
These signs of danger certainly do occur to Ygne. She shifts her weight to the balls of her feet, ready to spring out of the way, if need be. "What did you do?" She hisses, laying her hands across the pommel of each blade.
Mar 31, 2017 11:20 am
With Elspa vouching for him, Jarveena accepts Rygnar's strange story. But she, too, wonders what became of Ryte. If the trogs rose back up as undead here then the others back in the tunnel may have too and that may have been his doom. No matter, she doesn't need any of these men. She keeps a watchful eye from atop the platform, sweeping her gaze around the chamber. SHe nudges Moss. "There 'nuther way outta here? Other'n th' way we came in?"
Mar 31, 2017 1:09 pm
Frick coughs and sputters as he comes to, "Whoa, what happened?" he asks, looking around to see all of the enemies dead. He relaxes a bit until he sees Ygne arguing with the newcomer. Ignoring his wounds and exhaustion, he stands and walks over, glaring at Rygnar, "This guy bugging you?"
Mar 31, 2017 1:47 pm
Leading Elspa back on the platform,
Can't look at your wounds while we're in the water, now be still it won't take long...
Moss examines Elspa's body thoroughly but definitely in practiced and professional way. Then applies some poultice on the wounds most likely to infect and stiches close the biggest one...
Frick, come back here, I'm not finished with you.
Moss goes in the same motions on Frick.

Elspa's voice cuts in, deliberate and plain as stitching is applied to her body, "You seen a man back in the tunnel?" Her words are directed at Rygnar, but her eyes are on Ygne.
Mar 31, 2017 6:48 pm
Ygne doesn't seem quite so trusting of the newcomer, nor does she feel that any excuse has been given yet. Her eyes narrowed, she watches Rygnar with suspicion, still balancing light on her feet. To Frick, she replies, "Only thing buggin' me's that no one else seems concerned 'bout how this one got in here." Ygne was especially surprised, figuring she'd be the one to care the least about Ryte's well-being.
Her eyes never leave Rygnar, even as she's staring up at him. "Well?" She asks again, "You kill him?"

Ygne, looking less frustrated that she isn't addressed and more frustrated that her concern still isn't answered, is about to continue her questioning when Elspa does it for her. Instead, she remains where she stands before Rygnar, eyes narrowed and her hands readied upon her weapons.
Mar 31, 2017 7:42 pm
"Dead." Rygnar raises his sword and points it in the direction of the tunnel "What's left of him is in the tunnel leading down here."
Mar 31, 2017 7:46 pm
She had the thought, but she truly hadn't expected it, and Ygne's heart sank at Rygnar's words. No matter what she thought of Ryte, to know that he was alive one moment and dead the next was something that struck a sensitive cord. She was glad that she hadn't gotten to know the man.
Ygne did her best to hide the reaction, speaking through gritted teeth, "Did you do it?" Her hands are, noticeably, wrapped more firmly about her weapons.

Jarveena is paying close attention to the conversation now. If this ragtag group of shipwrecks are going to end up killing each other, she intends to be the last one standing.
Mar 31, 2017 7:53 pm
Rygnar finally looks down at Ygne, his soft voice has faded into a snarl, as if he's only talking to her through annoyance "I've killed many...but your friend is not among that list."
Mar 31, 2017 7:55 pm
A thought occurs to Frick, "If the foes we killed here came back to life to fight again... Ryte was up there with the corpses of our foes as well..."

Ygne stares at Rygnar a few moments longer before she lets go of her weapons. The (not-so-)subtleties of the conversation are not lost on her, and she sniffs arrogantly at the barbarian's response. "That's all you had to say," she remarks, turning her head and spitting into the water. Ygne huffs and trudges through the bloody water, back the way they'd come. She calls out to Jarveena, though she isn't facing her, "Weren't arguing; It was questioning. Should at least owe each other that much, if we die."
Without another word, she'll depart toward where Ryte had been.

The cavern is a dead end. The only way out is back the way you came.Mar 31, 2017 11:05 pm
Not wanting to stay much longer - the smell is really getting to everyone except Moss - you return to the surface. You notice one of the bodies of Troglodytes in the tunnel riddled with rapier holes, but no sign of Ryte anywhere.
You pass the mural of the throne and snake men and the pit of monsters. The candles and lanterns have all snuffed out now. You casually avoid stumbling over the loose brick in the floor as you walk past the trophy room filled with ships' figureheads and body parts.
At the mouth of the tunnel, which still smells of rum and burnt flesh, you discover a zombie broodguard which Elspa impaled on stalagmite. It is unable to right itself and flails in futility, neither alive nor dead.
Just outside the cavern the fresh jungle air is hot and moist, which never tasted so sweet. The clanging tree makes soft chiming sounds in the warm breeze that are nearly drowned out by the orchestra of nocturnal insects and frogs.
If you want to keep moving before you take a long rest, it will be 2 hours to return to the beach, and 2 hours to get to the other side of the island that you haven't explored yet.
Because you have already done much travelling and hard work today, you risk exhaustion from further exertion. You will have to do Con saves of escalating difficulty for each additional hour of travelling. Also, navigating will be at disadvantage because it is night. Also, you don't have Ryte's maps anymore so getting lost will be more difficult to deal with.
If you prefer to make camp somewhere nearby the troglodytes' cave, you can set up camp and we will roll for random encounters (1d6: a roll of 5 or 6 indicates one of 1d20 possible encounters occurs).

Ygne makes no stops on her way exiting the cave, except a sideways glance at the squirming, undead Trog on the stalagmite. She stands at the cave entrance, arms crossed over her stomach with her weight shifted to one foot. She wasn't quite sure what to make of Ryte's death. On the one hand, she was glad to be spared any further lecture on her behavior. She was certain of that. On the other hand...
Ryte cared, didn't he? Sure, maybe he was kind of a prick, acting all high-and-mighty, making assumptions, but he was saying it out of care, wasn't he? Like I give a shit about that, the thief thought, even going so far as to smirk inwardly. The smile waned though, and a sinking feeling tugged at her chest. Her face drooped somewhat as a sadness dawned on her, and she cast her eyes downward. She cursed herself for being so angry at the time of her confrontation with Ryte that she didn't see he was at least paying her some mind. It's more than the others have done. To them, Ygne bet, she was just a suspicious, mischievous sewer rat, like she'd always been before getting on that boat with Frick. Ryte at least talked to her like a teammate; expected her to be something more, rather than less.
There was a pause, as Ygne's mouth twisted a bit and she seemed to chew the words over before speaking them. Finally, she settled upon what to say. "I'm sorry you died alone," she spoke aloud, confidently, and with finality. She uncrossed her arms and tucked her fingers into her pockets, giving herself a nod, as if she'd done a good deed.

Ygne froze at the embarrassing realization that she'd been heard. "Fuck off, your majesty," she blurts out in some manner of self defense, turning and proceeding back into the cave to find the others. Moss' words gave her a chill, however, and she decided she didn't much like the dethroned Trog king. Maybe it was the thought of death or loneliness, or the aforementioned mixture of the two, but she sought out Frick.
Apr 1, 2017 3:30 pm
Frick is sitting not far away, nursing his wounds and humming the tune to a very inappropriate drinking song. Seeing Ygne approaching and looking troubled, he climbs to his feet, "What's wrong?"
Apr 1, 2017 3:48 pm
Ygne just groans, stepping past Frick and taking a seat where he'd just been sitting. She props her elbows onto her knees and puts her face in her hands. She's quiet for some time, breathing deeply and collecting her thoughts. Then she lifts her head, two red prints from her palms are left on her cheeks, and she looks at Frick. "You almost died." She states simply. Interrupting any reply, she adds, "And, yeah, I know. I know you probably don't care, so long as it was a good fight." She speaks slowly, presumably to state her words carefully and purposefully. The change in the pacing of her speech makes her sound strange, since it's unusual for her to do anything but blurt out the first (often rude) thing that comes to mind. "But.." She starts, stopping again as she looks around and makes sure that no one else is listening this time. "But don't, okay?" She pleas, "Don't die here."
There's a pause, a moment where it seems that she might just leave it at that, but then she adds more. As if to "cover her emotional tracks," Ygne says with poorly feigned humor, "I don't want you to come back after dying. Wouldn't want to fight you again. You're not bad at it."

Ygne does get best to look offended that he'd suggest such a thing, even if it'd been on her mind. "There no one that can kill Ygne the Quick," she assures him, "I'm just looking out for you, is all." Despite her best attempts to appear completely normal, someone that knew her as well as Frick did could tell that she was feeling relieved.

Elspa, Jarveena, and Rygnar begin setting up camp at mouth of the troglodyte cave. The air is still somewhat toxic here, but it is manageable and will mask your own scents. Frick relieves Ygne's anxieties while they help set up camp.

Jarveena tosses Moss some food from the few rations she managed to grab before abandoning ship. "I'm fer buildin' a boat an' sailin' off. Whaddya say, King? Whad el'h we goan find on thi'h rock 'sides more o' them undead trog?"

Moss takes a few seconds to think and then answers,
I don't know for the undead trogs but there is at least two other tribes of troglodytes numbering in the 30, maybe 40 individuals.... So the idea of a boat or a raft to go to another isle is pretty much a good one from my point of view.

"Goan hafta git wood an' rope an' oars. Barrels, mebbe? Sail's back there." Jarveena jerks a thumb inside the cave.

"Aye." Jarveena nods. "Les' git to it." She enlists Elspa and Rygnar's help hauling the sail, and the rope that Moss gathered. "We'll hafta build near th' beach."

Ygne sucks on her teeth in thought as she ponders the plan to make a boat. She'll back off a bit, when no one is particularly looking, and she'll go see what she can scavenge for food in the woods.

Sounds like everyone is down for building a boat! Constructing a simple raft with a sail to get to the mainland will require 2d4+2 hours, which includes the travel time to return to the beach. I'll do a hidden intelligence check for the sturdiness of the boat; I'll use Moss's INTmodifier and add proficiency because of Jarveena and Elspa's experience with sailing to make it truly a group effort.After we find out how long it takes, I'll roll random encounters.
BTW: If you wanted to construct a vessel capable of extended ocean-going travel, that would be an entirely different sort of task

The day proceeds peacefully as you set yourselves to building a boat. It is hard work, but you manage to rig up a simple vessel that looks like it will work, at least in the short term. Given the limitation of building supplies, you aren't too confident it could survive a big wave or an impact with rocks, and it certainly isn't going to win any beauty contests.Ygne struggles to find anything worthy of eating. What little fruit and shoots she finds are diseased and strewn with maggots.
It is now 2pm in the afternoon. The weather is sunny and breezy. You have 6 hour before the sun goes down.

Elspa pitches in, using her strength to haul materials to the construction site. She has no idea how to build a boat, and makes that fact plainly known. "I have no idea how to build a boat. I hope the rest of you do."
Apr 3, 2017 5:21 pm
Frick finds the work to be a bit boring, but helps out as he can, understanding the necessity of it. He still pays close attention to how it's done; you can never be sure when it might be useful to know how to build a boat!

Elspa uses her handaxe to trim lumber as needed, or to harvest vines and rope from the trees. While she works, she speaks quietly to Rygnar in conversation, "Nah, they's good folk. Jarveena was in the same pack on the boat, so by blood rights she's with us. The others got some fire in 'em to be sure, but they ain't weak. Might help to keep them around for a while."

Frick attempts to keep close to Ygne as much as possible during their work without making it too obvious, knowing she wouldn't appreciate that. He hopes that his proximity helps to quell her fears.

As she is possibly the most experienced sailor among the group, Jarveena directs the building of the raft. It doesn't turn out as seaworthy as she hoped, but with the limited resources she supposes it can't be helped. She nods when Moss says he's going hunting. She's rather not stay another night on this isle but the tide and wind will be better at dawn. "If ye doan come back I ain' searchin' for ye!" she calls after him.

Much throughout the building process Rygnar is hardly ever seen out of viewing distance of Elspa. He nods as she speaks to him "As long as they show you respect, I will stay my blade."

During a break, or when the raft is done, Elspa checks her pack. "I need to find some medicine," she says, referring to her herbalism kit supply. She looks into the jungle. "Rygnar, help me out and use your nose."

"Elspa, you forget? My nose doesn't work good, one to many breaks I think." While Rygnar smiles, he can't help but feel bad for not being more help for her.

Moss brings back a whole nest of fat water snakes for dinner, as well as locates a fresh rainwater pond to fill your canteens in.Elspa and Rygnar look all over, but find nothing usable among the diseased plants of this jungle. No Troglodytes challenge you, however.
As night approaches, you set up camp on the exposed beach, prepared to keep your new watercraft safe. The sun is setting, and the gorgeous sky paired with the rolling waves and the smell of cooked meat is making this feel quite comfortable. East from your island, you can see cook fires lighting at two distant settlements.
As night comes, the jungle goes eerily quiet. Everything stands still for an excessively long period of time, but the chirping of frogs and insects eventually returns.
Frick, Ygne, and anyone else who did not get a chance to act are welcome to retroactively post what activity they performed during this time.

Inspecting the raft,
Since we do not know for sure how stable the raft is , I suggest we go for the closest island. But I'll admit that just leaving this one will be good enough for me.

"There be someone living there, too," Elspa states the obvious, tipping her chin over to the campfires in the distance. "But are they frog-men or not?"

"I like His Majesty's suggestion," Ygne says during one of her brief appearances throughout the day, "Get to land quick-like, search it out for anything shiny and valuable, and scoot on to the next."

"That sounds fine to me. Let's leave in the morning and check out the locals. Either they'll help us or try to kill us, either way we win!"
Apr 5, 2017 1:43 pm
Before we leave, I just wanted everybody to know, some of the corpses the trogs brought in that washed out on the beach had really scary bite marks... Once I even spotted giant crabs and one of them was massive, maybe 20ft high. We crossed eyes and I swear there was some spark of intelligence in there. The trogs called it "Old One". What I'm trying to say is we'll have to be really careful on the water, because I don't know about you guys, but I plan on staying alive for more than a few hours if possible...

Morning arrives without any incident; whether your show of strength has kept the troglodytes wary of engaging you or they just had better things to do you'll never know. The most beautiful sunrise you can imagine stretches before you.
You shove off from land and hop onto your humble vessel, setting sail for the nearby island village. On a beautiful day like today, what could go wrong?
