Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
"Wow, that's pretty far, Trunksplitter," Taara remarked. "I lived not too far from here, actually, just down the other road, through the forest and into the mountains." as he mentions hunting, Taara climbed down Trunksplitter's arm, expecting it to lower like a strong tree branch before snapping back up. Instead, it only bowed slightly, and she dropped, landing
nimbly, on her feet.Spoiler: Acrobatics(1d20+3)[17]
"that sounds nice, Trunksplitter." she added with a wide smile.

Cuddy
"That was easy..." Cuddy murmurs to Ellis as he assists her in carrying their procured produce back to the group. "She could have easily charged five times as much for this. This is cheaper and better than anything I could get in Qsen."

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
She's probably just happy for some company. Family's great, but the same people day-in, day-out makes a change of pace welcome, Ellis replies. Or she's just nice. It happens.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Taara remained quiet while hunting. A black rabbit clearly visible against the green and yellow grasses dashed by, and thanks to her reflexes she pounced on it. It struggled against her grip before falling still, freezing like a mouse trying to live through an encounter with a snake. She looked down at it through the messy shorter hairs that didn't get into her braids, and it looked back with the cutest glimmer in its eyes, reflected in the sunlight. She stared at it for a moment, before setting it in a more comfortable position on her arm and petting it with the other, caressing its fluffy body. Taara went and found Trunksplitter, offering the rabbit to him and returning to the wagon for the rest of their time on the road, allowing the big man to do the deed instead if he wished.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Trunksplitter
Adamas manages to snare a rabbit with his javelin and he also gathers herbs, wild onions and garlic and some mushrooms. When Ellis and Cuddy come back from the farm, his face splits in a broad grin. He digs out his cooking tools and expertly skins and seasons the rabbits. Instead of making a stew, he fries the rabbits in butter, herbs, onions and garlic using pinches of spices he carries with him. He the takes the eggs, floor and cheese and makes small cheese pies which he roasts alongside the mushrooms. The beams and carrots go with the rest of the onion into a salad. Soon, the camp smells like a tavern, and Adamas proudly presents his creation.
"Clever and pretty friends, come and eat! This is good foo, you will see!"

EDIT: This is hilarious! He is trained in cooking and his first time is a Nat one! Something tells me the pepper fell on the food as he was cooking, and the mushrooms were rotten and bitter.Last edited by ProudGrognard; 2019-09-15 at 02:46 PM.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Adamas is not used to the relatively small an delicate eggs available in this area and gets some egg shells into the food. However, to someone that chews on rocks that is really not much of a problem.
While Adamas did the cooking Ellis makes the repairs to the cart.
-----
Spoiler: OOCMoving right along, lets wrap up anything remaining along the road.
You push through the night taking shifts sleeping on the cart and taking a few more short rests for meals.
The next day by mid morning you arrive on the outskirts of Tamor.
As you enter the town from the south you notice that it is eerily quiet and unusually still, there is not a single person in the fields.
Spoiler: DC 17 PerceptionYou hear something the fields on the left side of the path.
Spoiler: DC 20 PerceptionYou hear something the fields on both sides of the path.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Adamas
Adamas rolls the cart into the town. His ears pick something moving on the side. He stretches and in the process unslings his javelins and puts them nearby, keeping his maul close with the other.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Ellis, feeling a little suspicious of the area, hefts her shield and has her hand ready to grab her hammer. Something's to the left... she mutters, just loud enough for the others to hear.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Granig stops, sensing the sudden tension in the others. He looks around, but sees no cause for alarm beyond the complete lack of people - not surprising, if the town really is in the grip of a plague.
Taking a step closer to Taara, Granig does his best attempt at a whisper, "Is something wrong?"

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
"On both sides," Taara whispers back after a moment. "If they're being quiet it's either they're unfriendly or they're putting up a surprise party for one of us, and I think it might be both, except without the party." she pulls out her bow, nocking an arrow ready to shoot at something coming from the right. "can you keep pulling us, Trunksplitter? We'll have to divide our attention between both sides.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Trunksplitter
Adamas looks in brief confusion. Why should he keep on pulling? They knew were enemy was, let's just charge.
On the other hand, walking into a trap and still winning could be fun. Making sure his weapons were within arms reach, Adamas starts to pull the wagon again.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Granig casts his eyes skyward, muttering a short prayer before following after Adamas.
"Light shine on us, wind speed us, cloud cover us."
Spoiler: SpellcastingGranig is casting bless on Taara, Adamas, and himself.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Cuddy
"I think we may have trouble... Both sides, not just the left," Cuddy murmurs, reaching into his cloak and taking a dagger into each hand, deftly flicking them into view. He silently maneuvers himself beside Ellis. He was used to street brawls and they tend to be fierce, quick, and brutal.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
As the party moves through the short wall and carefully continues along the road into the center of town the steady susurrus continues to emanate from the fields until it sounds like it is coming from all around you. However, whatever it is that is causing the sound is ether not interested in you, or is unaware of your presence.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Cuddy
Cuddy eyes the street on which they are standing. He notes a shed standing by the wall. Standing out in the open was suicide, that much was clear.
He winks at his companions and ducks into the shed, dipping inside and pulling out a dagger in each hand.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
The susurrus continues around you. As you carefully study the fields for threats you catch the occasional glimpse of movement, something small is moving around out there, but nothing is jumping out and attacking you.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Ellis looks to her compatriots, and says I'm going to move ahead a little bit-far enough from you that if I get attacked, I won't drag you into it. Then... See what's up.
Before anyone really has a chance to stop her, she strides on ahead, finding a good, open spot, and calls out, loudly. Greetings! Please, show yourself-I come with no ill will!I have a LOT of Homebrew!

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
With Ellis' call the susurrus comes to a stop. Nothing happens for a little bit then you hear somebody shouting "Hello? Is somebody there?" from inside the town.

Adamas
Adamas looks around, but can see nothing. But he is tired of waiting.
"I go to find out"
And with that, maul in hand, he goes to check the bushes.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
As Adamas moves through the fields he discovers what what making the noise. It was the sound of hundreds of rats eating all of the food that was being grown by the townsfolk.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
We're aware, Ellis replies. We ran into someone sick with it before we came-that's why we're here, actually. We're hoping that we can render assistance.

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Adamas
Adamas makes a disgusted face and walks back.
"There are a great many rats there, eating the village food. I am no doctor, but that seems bad to me. I say we burn the rotting food."
When the villager comes, Adamas looks seriously.
"What Mr Lorrie said. We will beset the plague ourselves."
He the whispers to Ellie
"What does 'beset' mean?"

Re: [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town
Granig looks with interest at the field, before wading off the path into the crops. He does his best to get close enough to inspect one of the rats, looking it over for signs of disease from as close as he can get without the rats fleeing.

"You are here to help? Then enter at your own peril."
After you come over to the building he is standing by: "Do you know if young master Varre make it to Qsen?"
-----
The food that the rats have not gotten to yet is not rotten.
It is difficult to discern much about the health of the rats without acquiring a specimen but from what you are able to tell by observing them they appear to be acting normally."Time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based life-forms to monitor their ongoing decay." - Thunderclese
