"Mule" singular.

Deku, Tam, Miss Chief (ratta) knowledge: religion, local, planes, geography.... Or whatever else you think is relevant for recognizing a deity commonly whorshipped in the "Far East"...or skip it if you think your "Asian" character would know.

also, remind me as to who is displaying holy symbols.

[jakarta]

Deku takes out a scroll and reads it, obscuring the view of their watcher after he drags a chicken man body and dumps it on the mule as they return to the warehouse.

OOC: Used one scroll of obscuring mist.

Wait...You are casting a spell, and loading a body onto their mule, which the Plant Lady Palidin is leading???

[Yas392]

Knowledge (Religion): (1d20+4)[8]

Knowledge for Jokado's symbol (Religion): (1d20+4)[16]

EDIT: He is loading then reading off the scroll. Yes, the one the squire is leading. He will unload that off her after they are back at the warehouse for further diagnosis. Since we are skipping of getting the acquaint part and assume that we got along at some point of the conversation, I assume Deku will say "we will continue this later or something."

[jakarta]

Umm...ok?

The Diety is lawful and good inclined.

...
Unfortunately (?), For Ratta, the chicken is all gone. Flail Flind is crunching up the last of her bones, and Kiyoko is licking her fingers...

___
The warehouse has a severely danaged door. There is a group of 12 human men, one of whom is severed wounded with infected punctures to the gut. He is also poisoned and cursed.

There are also a flind, a gnoll, a cat lady, a Fox lady, a badger lady, elephant man in mithral plate, two half dragon looking things, and a red haired human girl with an axe.

The warehouse is filled with sacks of sugar and crates of fruit.
--
Deku and co return with a tiger man, a plant girl, 2 warhorses, a mule, and a dead body.

---
Story trading time. I'll add the tale of Harm and co after work.

[Yas392]

Deku dumps unload the body (one of the transmuted human) on the ground, thanking the plant like squire. During the time of respite, he divides his time out trying to mend the door with mending spell and diagnose the body whether it is alive or dead, trying to figure out a way undo the transformation.

Heal to check if the body is dead or alive and whether he can reboot the body with his healing touch: (1d20+16)[23]

[jakarta]

Anyone else working on the door?
The humans will help out. There are hammers and nails and crowbars available, as well as pallets, crates, crate lids, ect. There is stuff for crating up and uncrating bags of sugar and fruit..

As for the body... it's dead Jim. And not un-transmuting.

[Yas392]

OOC: Does mending work or do we need a make whole spell? For the transmuted body, Deku is trying to find a way to break it without resorting to remove curse.

[jakarta]

Between the elephant and the ginzu....
Boards and nails to get it back into basic shape, and then mending will work.

[ChaoticHarmony]

Tori helps mend the door by carrying the heavy boards and holding them in place while the villagers hammer them in. "Ah, new allies Deku? You didn't seem the type to make new friends."

Terk helps work the Any-Tool, to make sure the crazy gnoll doesn't accidently break the useful device(or pocket it when she is done with it) "I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting you to actually ask nicely. It's a nice surprise."

[jakarta]

As the door is repaired, thunder is heard in the distance. It soon starts to rain. A gentle shower builds to a torrential storm, though it is not unusual for these latitudes...

It will rain for several hours.

Plenty of time to get to know each other...

[Yas392]

Deku helps with the mending with his magic.

"No. Just newcomers who got lost, Tori. We barely met. A bit of misunderstanding at first but we fell into a truce for now. Walking tiger calls himself Jokado and his plant companion, Trevani. From what I gathered, they are either adventurers, relic seekers or embarking on a holy mission from their deity. Whether they are helping our investigation remains to be seen but I am keeping watch on him lest he has malign intentions. As long as he has a reason to be on this island, we could use another hand. Did anything happen while we are gone?"

[ChaoticHarmony]

"The injured man lying over there woke up and started swinging a knife. I *ahem* got him to calm down." The pachyderm looks a little embarrassed by his actions. After the door is repaired, he begins to shrink back down to his usual Halfling self. "Considering the rain, now might be a good time to make a plan. These people were attacked by animals similar to us. There is also an issue with a haunted lighthouse and ship stealing ghosts. We should decide what we should do about it, I for one don't want to just abandon them to these evil forces."

[jakarta]

The leader of the group calls himself Cam. He never mentions the names of his men, and they never talk above a whisper right into an ear. They seem to do most of their "talk" with glances.

Cam relates his tell of adventure and woe. He and his brother are from Liberia, the sons of a native woman and a luckless sailor. They became orphans, in the care of local nuns.

When they were older, they left the island to seek their fortune. And they made one. The Cententurian Kystral, a small magic ship that they won in a card game. It can sail against the wind, and sail slowly even when becalmed.

They had returned to visit their home island, and make money as cargo haulers. They could sail even in the off seasons...

But, the strange clouds and drums greeted them, as did the ghost pirates of the cursed lighthouses.

There had always been ghost pirates around the cursed lighthouses, but these had been harmless spectors. "Get in ya way, ya just walk around em, or right through em. Give us a bit o chill, but harmless. Then the nuns beat ya for going round the cursed lighthouses and the owlbears.

Kwatic owlbears. They suppee-als. Ya know, they gots spines. Eat the loopus sea weed. Hardly ever caught and et us orphans...

Anyway, da pirates....now they grown bodies, and got a ship, and suck the life right outta ya.. poor Sean...

Anyway, we jumped overboard to get away from em. Harm got a rapier in the belly first though. The currents are strong there and we got pulled all over.

Then Brother Larry and his squid shows up and helps us to shore. The pirates sailed off with our ship.

It took Larry a couple trips to pull us all out. And he dropped us on the beach under the light house...where the dropbear nesting cave is.
So, we ends up running from dropbars, and Ned runs off the wrong way. We couldn't find him aftarwards, and he's got the astrolabe that controls the Kystral. He's in trouble in he went to the lighthouses, cause their both cursed.

Then Larry got back and scared off da bars and escorted us to the edge of Town. Kept yammaren on about how fair his God is, and how he accepts everyone, even if we're a high in fat, whatever that means...

But it's like that whole towns gone weird. After Larry left, We got attacked by animals and things ya never believe.

And the river's dried up. It gets low in the dry seasons, but it's never gon dry before. It can't. It's always raining somewhere in the uplands. But there it is. Bone dry.

So, we hold up here, then you lot bust in."

...
There is plenty of still good breadfruit and jackfruit, should you want to conserve your rations.

[Yas392]

"Let's wait until everyone is comfortable with each other before planning what to do next. Anyways, did any of our healers that did not follow us heal the injured man fully?"

[jakarta]

They relate their progress. He needs a remove curse, remove poison, restoration or regeneration for the organ damage, restoration for the con damage, and then some healing/curing.

[Yas392]

OOC: Is the patient continually making saves for poison?

[jakarta]

Answering the question before you edited it..the remove curse and remove poison could be done in either order.

The patient is periodically making/attempting/failing saves. It is acting almost like a disease.

[ChaoticHarmony]

OOC: I assume that everyone is looking kinda gross right now so Tori is gonna cast Prestidigitation to clean everyone. No point in feeling filthy right?

[Yas392]

OOC: Sorry about the editing and deleting. Thought the remove line is or not and at first. Remove poison? Do you meant to post neutralize poison? He can't cast it at this level unless he is gestalt. He can try delaying it while he treat him. How often does he needs to make the save?

[jakarta]

I'm probably mixing edition terms. He needs something that fixes poisoning. The save is daily at this point.

[Yas392]

OOC: No point using delay poison then. He can only delay up to 3 hours with scroll. 5 if cast naturally. For now, I think I will have Deku try to increase the chance of the patient overcoming the poison while either curing him of ability score damage or drain.

Deku turns to Kiyoko.

"Are you able to cast remove curse the next day?"

[CasualViking]

"Greetings, all. As introduced, I am Jokado, and this is my squire Trevani. Adventurers, treasure seekers and embarked on a holy mission. And it seems quite providential that we met, for this island is surely cursed and badly in need of cleansing."

Trevani looks over the injured man. "I can heal injuries, but he seems to need more than that. I can do a lesser restoration for him tomorrow."

Spoiler: Jokado

[Hellfire014]

"Unfortunately, I forgot to add that to my book. Only healing spells I have are Lesser Vigor and Lesser Restoration. Something I need to work on."

[Yas392]

"I saved this for a very special occasion but right now with all the chaotic magic messing up all the result of my detection spells and causing all of this strangeness, I rather we have more spell users who can cast them in case we need the spell."

Deku dumps a scroll of remove curse into Kiyoko's lap.

"Take it and learn it."

The raven begins the healing process as he bites on a jackfruit he got from one of the crates and also uses one restorative touch to calm the patient from fear (shaken condition).

Heal to treat poison (not sure if we are using PF or 3.5 so I am going to roll): (1d20+16)[24]

Heal for long term care (heals 8 HP per HD & 8 ability damage for 24 hours rest): (1d20+16)[22]

[Dimers]

The ratling gladly accepts Tori's offer of cleaning. "Clearly the noble Elephant deserves a place in the zodiac. I will petition the Emperor to replace the Boar. If we manage to survive and return home, that is." Tam looks slightly disappointed -- if his protege is clean, she'll produce fewer mites for him to snack on while grooming her.

Spoiler: oops, missed this earlier

Deku, Tam, Miss Chief (ratta) knowledge: religion, local, planes, geography.... Or whatever else you think is relevant for recognizing a deity commonly worshipped in the "Far East"...or skip it if you think your "Asian" character would know.

also, remind me as to who is displaying holy symbols.

Tam and Miss Chief should be familiar with the Celestial Emperor. No holy symbols on us; we're godless heathens on top of being annoying.

After hearing Cam's woeful tale, Tam cautions him, " 'Brother' Larry might not be your best friend, sir. If he's anything like the tentacle-adjacent creatures that have been invading my homeland, his god is reaching out to you so It can put you in Its mouth. Most of us sailed here on our way to fight this very menace. I wonder whether Larry is provoking the attacks ... some creatures feed on fear, you know."

Spoiler: which reminds me -- CasualViking,

Does Jokado have an aura that lessens fear?

[CasualViking]

Both Jokado and Trevani have Aura of Courage 10' - +4 [morale] to saves vs. fear.

[jakarta]

If you check in with the Reliant via message, what do you tell them?

Does anyone heal Tori, Axe, or Flail?

Or any of the splash damage?
.....,

The heavy rain continues long enough that you decide to shelter in place for the night.

Through the night you exchange stories and information, set a rough watch schedule with Cam's men, and tend to Harm.

In the morning the rain subsides, and you send a small team to get Osrik and Zander.
They find their backpacks (including all equipment purchased with the vouchers, the daggers and potions, and Zander's spell book) sitting on the dock. The boat is capsized, but easily salvaged and otherwise undamaged. There is no sign of Osrik, Zander, Snek, or the boy. The fishing gear is gone, and any trace of combat (or not) has been washed away by the rain.

The outing team return to the warehouse with the distressing news of the missing party members.

FF:

Flail Flind has had an interesting night of dreams about counting crates of chickens and sorting them by grade and breed, and expectly brooding a clutch while snacking occasionally on cracked corn, layers' mash and the occasional scratched up cricket...

The snoring Flind is stirred to wakefulness by the sleepy clucking of a dozing chicken...or is it the other way around?

When she opens her eyes, she finds a disconcerting composite of looking down her snout as usual, while also looking down on it from above! What the BAWK!?

FF has a chicken on her head. Attached even. Looks like the same chicken. The pelvis of the chicken seems fused with her skull.

No! Samual Sanders, poultry inspector and Rhode Island Red has this nasty dog thing stuck on his butt. Her butt. Where's my nest? Is there any seed around? I really want some poultry to inspect. Poultry's my life's passion, and brooding eggs, and I'm sitting on the Sonavabitch that ate me! Daughterovabitch... Just bitch! Hey! There's a raven, let's inspect it! ....


Curse effects:
Curse: chicken on your head.
Curse: composite remnant personality.

-5 to perception, stealth, and social skills.

Hard to focus focus when you also see through the eyes of a chicken that is looking around at random. And when you turn your head to focus on what the Cluckers is looking at, moving your head moves the whole chicken, and then the chicken has to refocus...and it gets in the way of aiming your hyena ears...

The chicken clucks at random. Sometimes you do too. Flaps its wings too.

And it is really hard to be taken seriously with a chicken on your head...

When you pluck a feather, you feel it in the chicken's butt, and your own, but worse. Though you are of two, or maybe 3, minds in the matter, you don't want to hurt the chicken, as it is part of you and you share minds and thoughts of harming the chicken scare it...you... Sanders...All. and any pain the chicken feels you feel twice, in the chicken body and in your own. The chicken body seems somehow to be an extension of your brain...

When you aren't paying attention you take on the chicken's mannerisms.

Chicken: roll twice and take the worse result on all checks and rolls involving fear.

Expert poultry inspector: + 5 on any check involving knowledge of poultry (domestic) and agricultural import/export law.

[Yas392]

OOC: How is patient btw? Doing better? Are we using 3.5 or PF rules for treat poison. PF gives +4 to save if you surpass poison DC while 3.5 allows you to use your heal check as saving throw.

Deku manages to cure the poisoning, but his other ministrations are only half as effective as they should be. The curse is interfering with natural healing.

And now it seems you have a new patient...or two?

[Triskavanski]

"Who brought in the chicken.. And.. something isn't right." the cat samurai says, as things were not adding up. She could hear the chicken.. but couldn't "see" the chicken even after taking her focus out there. "The gnoll.. has a chicken for a head. I can't heal that with a punch.. I don't even know where to begin with that."
