Outpost Santa Barbara: Episode 06

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===February 27th 1512 (day 58)===
The Santa Barbara Town Council have just finished a week of resting after visiting the ship wreck and exploring the cave.
The council are eating on the balcony of the Sandshark Tavern when they are ambushed by a group of tasloi. These tasloi just have javelins and no shields and are joined by a spellcaster tasloi. One tasloi pulls Governor Daffodil into the Goleta Slough below, and Lili follows after to defend him. Kanon D. B'all and Private Po Tato stay in the Sandshark and fight off the tasloi there.
The tasloi are defeated. Governor Daffodil knocks out the Spellcaster tasloi and Lili captures a different tasloi. The Governor has Po Tato strip the spellcaster, tie it up, and gag it.
The party then hear cries of panic from the north side of town. They rush over and find two tasloi in a farm house. The party defeat the tasloi. Daffodil tends to the wounds of an injured farmer. More tasloi come and attack while others flee town with chickens and cabbages. The party fight off these tasloi. Private Po Tato thinks he sees a tasloi in a barn, so lies down on the ground to lure it out. The rest of the party think Po Tato has lost it. Po Tato then stabs a barrel of wine thinking a tasloi is inside, but just ends up spilling out the 2000 copper worth of wine.
With the attack over, the party assess the damage. The tasloi made off with 30 chickens, a few bags of potatoes, some cabbages, and some supplies (including a pitchfork). The most expensive loss was the barrel of wine that Po Tato damaged. The party take their two prisoners to the fort. Governor Daffodil tries to interrogate them, which includes some torture, but they don't speak common.
Governor Daffodil then speaks to Po Tato about his behavior. Kanon casts Message to send his voice into Po Tato's head, but Po Tato mistakes it for the voice of Illumis and thinks he is the chosen one now.
The party decide to let the warrior tasloi escape, so they can follow it back to its home. They consider mutilations to do to him before hand, to slow it down. Father Tuck comes over and urges the party not to turn to darkness. The party end up breaking one of the tasloi's legs, and having Father Tuck heal with wound without setting the leg first. Then, they lightly tie it up so that it can escape.
===February 28th 1512 (day 59)===
In the early hours of the day, the warrior tasloi escapes as planned. The party set out after it. They head east into Cold Spring Canyon.
===February 29th 1512 (day 60)===
The party follow the injured tasloi up the side of the canyon near a creek. The tasloi gets spooked by a grizzly bear near the creek, so it holds up in a tree overnight.
===March 1st 1512 (day 61)===
The party continue following the tasloi north though the pass to the avocado jungle. The tasloi notices the party when Po Tato falls over and makes a noise. The tasloi then gives up hope.
Kanon casts Alter Self to appear like a giant tasloi. The "giant tasloi" stands in the way of the party, giving the wounded tasloi hope again, and it flees.
The wounded tasloi reaches a river and starts to flow down river. The party follow after, but end up in the middle of a tasloi ambush. The party defend themselves. Kanon maintains his disguise.
Governor Daffodil uses the tasloi witch as a hostage and the other tasloi stand down. Kanon gets the tasloi to bunch up and casts Ice Knife on them, but only hits one. The tasloi throw their spears at Governor Daffodil, then retreat and hide. Kanon uses Ice knife on one he sees, killing it.
The party then rests for the night.
