Awesome, then I ask that you please take your time and read the story so far. Yes, I know it’s a few hundred posts but it will help to understand what’s happened and how the game is played. But I understand it’s a lot, so take your time. Then when you’re ready, you can answer the last story post.

Edit: Uh… @Ouijaloveletters?

Ok. I’m going to have Patrin use blow darts. Roll, please.

Staggering forward with the arrow in her chest, Patrin reached into their pocket for one of their darts and the tube. Pushing the dart inside it, they put the dart to their lips and blew. The dart stuck in the side of her neck. A second later, her eyes rolled back and she collapsed to the ground. (-1 damage to the creature)

Rolls… Patrin: 12

The group spend the next 10 minutes or so attending to their wounds. Patrin was first to finish patching themself up, and got up to around the giant boulder the Lizard Queen had be on when they spotted her. Around the back of it, they found collection of junk; bones, twigs, makeshift bowls. Among the rubbish there were three Gold coins as well as three item. Gathering them up, Patrin took them back to the group to divvy them out.


You each get one item each. Time to pick. No one can have the same item, so discuss it if you want to.

Once the three heroes had selected their items and pocketed their gold, they wearily made their way through the trees again. Stumbling with their injuries as the weather turned grey. They would need to probably rest soon but knew they had to reach the group again, it was better in a bigger pack. The rain was setting in.

The trio were soaked to the bone when they found the path again. Thia leaped into Lucan’s dripping arms, who was worried at the state she was in, but the thought was pushed aside when the thunder rolled in. The weather had worsened. A lightning storm descends, and all their gear is likely to attract the electric strikes.


Come up with a plan together.

Maybe we should dig a hole near camp, throw all our metallic equipment in there, fill it up, and mark it. That way the lighting won’t be attracted and we can sleep a few meters away.
Also Lucan would like to continuously treat his wife’s wounds to make sure they don’t get infected.
