dragon training! Report
General Summary
1-14-2022 Week 3 day5 The students all get up fairly early to get ready to leave the school. They spend the morning gathering supplies and decided where to go and who would split off and do their own thing. They separated into 4 groups. Flux, Siralya, and Tanathil Ara and Veseryn Bones, Lute, Iulek, Gossomer, Taegan, and Nym Roedyn, Gaelira, and Ailuin Flux, Siralya and Tanathil all decided the best option for them would be to head directly to the bad lands to get inspiration for their projects, and to collect supplies. They arive in an arid, dry land, in a fortress overlooking the canyon badlands of Goblin Valley. Even from so far away they could smell the unpleasant sour scent of sulfur lurking in the air. Traveling down through the maze of canyons was an unpleasant, hot walk. It took them hours and all they were seeing was scorched red sand and tall rocky cliffs that stretched far above their heads, caging them in. When they finally came across something new, they wished they hadn't. The way ahead was obstructed by a pool of lava that stretched a daunting 20' from the black rocky edge they were standing on, through the gap in the cliffs ahead of them to the other 'shore', directly across the way. The pool spanned a good thirty feet to either side of this opening, and the only way forward to to play hopscotch across the precariously suspended stones scattered across the surface of the lava. Tanathil thought he could probably coax the donkey across, through magic, or by simply being good with animals is unclear. Flux is game, but cautious. And Siralya is, understandably, against it. "Yeah, no. I don't care what you think, this is not happening." She has absolutely zero confidence in her ability to scale those rocks. Flux finally convinces her, saying she will be right behind her and wont let the elf fall. Siralya is still not happy but Tanathil seals the deal by suggesting they create a rope railing. He would go first, with the donkey, and secure the rope on the other side. Tanathil and the donkey make it across safely with little problem and he ties off one end of the rope. Flux ties off the other end and the two girls grab hold and make their slow way over the sinisterly bubbling lava. It hisses and spits, and gurgles at them, and Siralya is abviously spooked the entire trip, but they make it across safely with only the bottoms of her skirt singed. Siralya reluctantly decies that a skirt is a safety hazard in this setting and put's it in her pack. Where they are standing now they can see that the pathway splits off in three other directions, one of witch is overgrown with large throny brambles. Before they can really discuss what direction to head in next, Flux spots a shape in the distance. The heat is messing with her vision, so she can't pinpoint what it is and neither can Tanathil. Siralya, on the other hand, can. "I think it's a cart." She says, looking a bit puzzled. "A cart?" Flux repeats. "Yes, I don't see any horses, nor any people. It's just a cart." Siralya states. Flux and Tanathil share a long look before decideing to go investigate the object. It is exactly as Siralya had said, a wooden cart, sitting next to a cliff. There was no animals nearby to pull it, and no people around to claim the wares that were sure to be hiding in the three crates stacked inside. Upon closer inspection the group realizes that there is one other thing inside the broken down cart...a bucket of icy blue water. Flux immidiately found that suspitious and went to investigate. She could see a bunch of small little items floating in the water, but she found that odd as well since they were suspended and not sunk to the bottom of the bucket, nor floating on top. Whatever substance was in the bucket...it wasn't water. This proved to be the case when the 'water' lurched forward, lashing out at her. She stumbled backwards, part scrambling away, part pushed by the creature that turned out to be a tiny gelatinous cube. The fight was short, with Flux mostly on defensive while Tanathil and Siralya shot arrows and magic at it. Tanathil's arrows went clean through the monster, and they watched as the cube melded it's flesh back together as if it was never hit. Flux ended up with her hand soaked in a strange acidic substance that brought her to her knees, and Siralia finished the fight by coating her blade in a magical flame and sinking it into the creature which quickly erupted in a small sizzling ball of green fire that burned hot and fast leaving a layer of goo on the bottom of the cart. Ara: Ara and Vesryn discover a hidden druid temple where they encounter a water elemental that had been trapped inside. They were able to escape without having to actually confront it, by trapping it inside it's watery bed. They may venture back inside the temple to keep looking for things, but it's yet to be decided. Iulek, Gossamer, Bones, Lute While out exploring the forest they encounter a group of drow who were out looking to assassinate Nym. They were able to cut the bridge they were on, killing most of them, and they were able to escape. They didn't leave the area though, instead they headed down into the nearby valley to investigate the nearby hunters cabin they could see from above. This proved to be very interesting because whoever this place was being used by was doing some very strange magical experiements, and they left a lot of interesting...if suspitious...magical items lying about.... also they may be a serial killer...but that's not something they need to worry about right?
