Creepy crawlers and waystation interlude

by Jeanne

So nasty centipede critters are around
At least it's 'only' three of them surrounding Heidan, Thazz and Mort
They get killed quite quickly
Then back to the lodge we go
Or not because Heidan goes checking the centipede corpses
Yep he takes beastie parts with him
 
Then it's back to the lodge, which works out pretty neatly
Aaand we present our haul
I then go first for the curse removal
Aaand it feels super weird
Kind of like I'd imagine getting a hickey would feel
Never got one
But that feels like a soul hickey I guess
But hey, no more gills and stuff
And seemingly no frog stuff either
Though Clover was weirdly flirty I guess?
Anyway all directly cursed people so Siv, Thazz and me get uncursed
And it seems like Clover is some kind of curse conduit?
 
While the group does some stuff I stick with Heidan and we take apart the centipede
We get at the poison glands
Not super much as they're very efficient
It's mostly painful, less damaging
If injected does 1d6 poison damage with DC13 Consave, otherwise incap and wracked in pain for an hour
About 3 vials worth
 
Siv also provides Heidan with a Dossier regarding the Omshi
For him to fill
And Siv is affiliated with a circle of scribes with which he'd like to share it
Anyway Heidan gets a copy of that stuff
I want one too in the future when we're back up there
 
Ori the probable dragon person meanwhile shifted to a more female form down there
And I take a little time to talk with Clover about the curse stuff
Seems like it can't easily be taught
But needs some really bad kind of curse beforehand
She for example has really bad burns, in parts intermingled with tattoos und it seems there's a slight flicker every now and then
I also show my burn scars from back then
When I get myself a curse that's as bad, then I can ask her again about that stuff
Seems like my draconic tail isn't enough
Though I'd have to start with the basics
At least she hangs around this waystation every now and then
 
Well that's a decent point to start on in any case
Definitely better than becoming a demonic fishperson or something like that
Could be super useful after all
So yeah, lets see whether I can find a fitting curse
 
We hang out over the day
In the evening the other party comes back
Yep they still have spells to uncurse part of the party
Mort gets the magical collar off
 
After we get a nice night of sleep
 
On the next day we start preparing on the way up
We take a route away from the way of the center when going up
We're still on our way up
