## Fytulk, Day 3

[12:58 PM] DM: In the afternoon, as you travel, Brennys points out a cluster of trees that seem to be covered in an ivy-like bunch of vegetation, but if you look closer, the ivy seems to be made up of twisting, snarled barbs and hooks. "Razorvine. Try not to get too close."

And let me get Perception checks, please.

[12:58 PM] Seirixori: ((17))

((Gunnloda:: 9))

[12:59 PM] Urrak: ((5))

[1:00 PM] DM: Ry 4, Rukiya 27

[1:00 PM] Brimeia: ((7))

[1:04 PM] Seirixori: Seir briefly pauses and looks behind her.

[1:06 PM] Seirixori: She continues walking with the rest after a few seconds.

[1:07 PM] DM: Camp is found once more.

[1:10 PM] Seirixori: "I hate being so curious," Seir mutters around some food, looking out into the forest.

[1:11 PM] Urrak: "Please don't go lookin' alone, if yer gonna go lookin'." Urrak says as she warms her back, "Take Ry or Gunnloda at least."

[1:13 PM] Seirixori: Seir shakes her head, "I wouldn't take either of them with me."

[1:13 PM] Ryleigh: "We need to find out what they want," Ry says in infernal to Seir. Then she stands and offers her hand to Seir. "And you aren't going alone, so you have to take me."

[1:14 PM] Seirixori: Seir scoffs and takes her hand, "What happened to taking Rukiya instead?"

[1:15 PM] Ryleigh: "I need her safe." And Ry will let Seir lead since she's the one who knows where they are.

[1:17 PM] Seirixori: Seir's brow furrows as she frowns and looks at Ryleigh for a few seconds. She slowly nods as she looks for the elves.

[1:17 PM] Urrak: Urrak watches them leave, "Well, here's hopin' they come back..."

[1:18 PM] DM: Rukiya: "Why do you think they wouldn't?"

[1:18 PM] DM: Let me get some perception checks on this side too.

[1:19 PM] Urrak: "Are ye forgettin' th' Sylvan speakin' monster we jus' killed? The one that popped outta nowhere? Th' elves might not be a threat, but this forest is." She turns to face the fire, takes off her gloves and starts to warm her hands. ((10))

[1:20 PM] DM: Rukiya grins. "I didn't say they would be back alone."

[1:20 PM] Brimeia: ((4))

[1:20 PM] Urrak: "All I know is when those two wander off, bad shit follows."

[1:21 PM] Seirixori: ((Gunnloda: 14 lol))

[1:22 PM] DM: A chilly burst of wind passes through the camp, causing some of the loose snow on the branches to swirl through the air. Rukiya and Gunnloda both huddle closer to the fire.

[1:24 PM] Urrak: Urrak pulls her coat tight around her, "I'm jus' lookin' forward t' a warm bed once we're outta these woods."

[1:26 PM] DM: Brennys: "It's gonna be a while for that."

[1:27 PM] Urrak: Urrak sighs "Great."

[1:34 PM] Urrak: Urrak flexes the chill out of her fingers, "So, Brennys, how long have ye been leadin' folks through th' Fytulk ?"

[1:36 PM] DM: "Depends on what you mean... I've spent time in the Fytulk since I was a kid. I've made at least a dozen trips to Isonsall in my life... but being a tour guide isn't that common for me. I've only done it a handful of times. Mostly I just gather out here."

[1:39 PM] DM: The wind picks up considerably blowing snow up into the air... or is that snow falling? It's hard to tell, but visibility is getting rough and the temperature drops. Brennys shivers. "We should probably get into the tents. Looks like a storm's coming in."

[1:41 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods, still clutching her coat, "A-aye we should. " She stands and offers Brennys a hand up, her pair of gloves in the other. "Wouldn't want t' freeze t' death before they get back."

[1:43 PM] DM: Rukiya looks at Gunnloda. "Would you--"

Gunnloda is already putting her hand to her holy symbol and nods.

The storm picks up, the fire goes out, and everyone heads to the tents.

[1:50 PM] DM: Brennys, Urrak, and Bri are in one tent. Gunnloda and Rukiya are in the other.

[1:50 PM] DM: Brennys: "Are your friends going to be ok out there?"

[1:51 PM] Urrak: "Serixori at least has magic. An' very good eyes. R-Ryleigh does too but maybe not th' most useful in snow. But I know she'll stay close t' Seir." Urrak is visibly worried, "We've gone through worse. I'm...sure they'll be fine."

[1:56 PM] Urrak: Urrak shivers, "I jus'...hope' this storm passes quickly."

[1:56 PM] DM: Brennys pulls her blanket up around her.

[2:00 PM] Urrak: "I'd offer ye my coat if I wasn't worried about turnin' into an icicle." Urrak jokes.

[2:05 PM] DM: Brennys chuckles. "I'm warm enough. Just want to stay that way. Might be a good idea for you to do the same."

[2:07 PM] Urrak: "That would be ideal," she smiles and wraps her bedroll around herself, "That's the ticket," She probably looks ridiculous, but she finally starts to warm up.

[2:08 PM] DM: "You haven't spent much time in the cold, have you?"

[2:09 PM] Ryleigh: Bri: "Nah, but you know... I'm naturally warm. So if you wanna stay that way, you could slide into my sleeping bag."

[2:10 PM] Urrak: Urrak shakes her head at Bri's flirting, but she's smiling "It doesn't get cold like this in Shetai. At least not where I grew up. Never seen snow before this trip, honestly. Not up close."

[2:13 PM] DM: "You're not missing much. The first couple are fun, but living in it isn't. Traveling through it isn't either."

[2:15 PM] Urrak: "I'm findin' that out th' more we travel. I'll be glad t' leave it behind." she's quiet for a moment, "Though I will say that lil snowball fight was kinda fun." she smirks

[2:17 PM] DM: Brennys listens to the wind for a minute. "I hope there isn't too much more snow on the ground after this. It'll be slower walking."

[2:20 PM] Urrak: "With our luck, there will be," Urrak places her bedroll on the ground and crawls into it, "Better rest up, keep those legs strong," she realizes after a second that she said the last part out loud "I mean--y'know so ye can help us...I'm gonna shut up now."

[2:23 PM] DM: Brennys just raises an eyebrow and stays silent, listening to the storm.

## Seiryleigh in the Storm

1:17 PM] DM: Perception checks.

[1:18 PM] Seirixori: ((15))

[1:18 PM] Ryleigh: "Don't be like that," Ry says gently. "I need you safe too..." ((9))

[1:19 PM] Seirixori: She shakes her head, "It's not that. I know you do."

[1:21 PM] Ryleigh: "Then why the look?" Ry asks, her voice sounding more tired than usual.

[1:22 PM] Seirixori: Now Seir looks worried, "What changed from having Rukiya go with me instead?" She stops, "...it feels like when that snow storm happened. Should it?"

[1:25 PM] Ryleigh: "I needed to be here instead." Then Ry shrugs. "It's like this a lot during winter."

[1:26 PM] Seirixori: "That doesn't make sense," Seir says, feeling uncomfortable even with what Ryleigh says about the weather. She continues her search.

[1:27 PM] Ryleigh: "What doesn't make sense? The weather?"

[1:28 PM] DM: Give me another perception check, Seir.

[1:29 PM] Seirixori: ((20))

[1:32 PM] Seirixori: Seir heads towards a tree where she thinks she saw something, "Why did you need to be here?"

[1:32 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh sighs, and smiles. "You and Rukiya never drop anything, do you?"

[1:33 PM] Seirixori: "I love you too much to leave it be," Seir mutters as she squints. "Ugh, why are they being difficult?"

[1:36 PM] Ryleigh: "Vydea came to me in a dream last night, and said my path leads to choice... I don't know what it meant and I'm not sure how I feel about it."

[1:37 PM] Seirixori: "Vydea?" Seir tilts her head. "Interesting...and clearly the gods I know are the least annoying."

[1:38 PM] Ryleigh: "It might not have been her at all. It all be a trick, because why would she talk to me? Rukiya is..." Ryleigh sighs again, her face looking strained.

[1:39 PM] DM: The wind picks up considerably blowing snow up into the air... or is that snow falling? It's hard to tell, but visibility is getting rough and the temperature drops.

[1:41 PM] Seirixori: "It could, and it could not. And if I wasn't worried about whether this is the weather or something else, I'd tell you stuff about being worthy of things."

[1:42 PM] Ryleigh: "Do you think we should head back?" Ry says over the wind, pulling Seir a little closer.

[1:42 PM] Seirixori: Begrudgingly, Seir says, "Yes, we can try again later."

[1:43 PM] Ryleigh: They begin to walk back towards camp.

[1:44 PM] DM: Visibility's low and there's no firelight to guide your way, plus your footprints are gone. Let's get a wisdom check from Seir to find your way back.

[1:45 PM] Seirixori: ((18))

[1:47 PM] DM: Seir pushes through the wind and snow, leading Ry back towards camp. Give me perception checks, please.

[1:48 PM] Seirixori: ((16))

[1:48 PM] Ryleigh: ((24))

[1:49 PM] DM: The wind is howling, but you both hear just a hint of what might be laughter underneath it.

[1:50 PM] Ryleigh: ((Do we know the direction it's coming from?))

[1:50 PM] DM: You think it's somewhere to your right, but it's hard to tell.

[1:51 PM] Seirixori: ((Seir wouldn't have her shapes back would she?))

[1:52 PM] DM: Probably not.

[1:53 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh looks like she wants to go investigate the sound.

[1:54 PM] Seirixori: Seir groans, "You tell them we're looking then."

[1:54 PM] Ryleigh: "What?"

[1:55 PM] Seirixori: "I know you want to look. I want to look. But you tell them we're not going to go inside where it is safe... maybe safe." She motions to the sending stone.

[1:56 PM] Ryleigh: "But what if we get in bind and need their help? This is our only communication to the others, we can't risk using it yet."

[1:57 PM] Seirixori: "You have two seconds to decide where we go."

[1:57 PM] DM: It should be noted that at this point, to talk to each other, you're nearly shouting to be heard.

[1:58 PM] Ryleigh: Ry's brows furrow and she looks over at Seir, who probably shivers, and decides - a little reluctantly, "Back to camp."

[1:59 PM] Seirixori: Seir practically drags Ryleigh back to the tents.

[1:59 PM] DM: Give me another check to find your way!

[1:59 PM] Seirixori: ((is it perception-y or survival-y?))

[2:00 PM] DM: You can have proficiency. lol

[2:01 PM] Seirixori: ((so that's a 9))

[2:03 PM] DM: Both of you give me a dex check, please.

[2:04 PM] Seirixori: ((14))

[2:04 PM] Ryleigh: ((7))

[2:04 PM] DM: Ry's boot catches on some stones and she slips on the thin sheet of ice now covering them. She stumbles and catches herself on Seir's arm.

[2:07 PM] Seirixori: Seir curses and helps Ryleigh, "Fuck it, Isair suas!" She briefly lets go of Ry and claps her hands together and a wispy flames surround her.

[2:07 PM] DM: I think with survival and outlander, you should probably have double prof on these, so give me another check to find your way.

[2:07 PM] Ryleigh: "Sorry," Ry shouts as she rights herself. "The snow in the wind makes it difficult to see!"

[2:08 PM] Seirixori: ((I'm going to unfortunately argue against myself because it's snow unless you think that shouldn't matter lol))

[2:08 PM] DM: The DC's higher for snow, but this is about navigating and going through a place you've been before.

[2:09 PM] Seirixori: ((27))

[2:11 PM] DM: Nice! A break in the snow for half a second gives you enough time to reorient yourself, and you realize that you were right outside camp and can find your way to your tent. I do need you both to give me CON saves, though. Ry's with advantage.

[2:12 PM] Ryleigh: ((13))

[2:12 PM] Seirixori: ((26))

[2:12 PM] DM: You're both fine as you stumble back into your tent to find Rukiya and Gunnloda, worried, but safe.

[2:14 PM] Seirixori: Seir falls nearly on her face in the tent, still on fire and giving off some nice warmth. "Yay, we weren't stupid!" Her voice slightly muffled by the ground.

[2:15 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles and moves to help her to her side. "Yay?"

[2:15 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh carefully discards her snow covered boots and cloak, trying to keep it as far away from the others as possible so it doesn't get their bedding wet.

[2:17 PM] Seirixori: Seir practically drapes herself over Gunnloda, "Someone is messing with us and I just remembered I can do a spell that's kind of similar to what is happening outside."

[2:18 PM] Ryleigh: Ry slips into bed, without commenting. She doesn't pull Rukiya close, worried she'll make her cold.

[2:20 PM] DM: Rukiya comes close anyway. "New rule. Both of our heaters aren't allowed to leave us in the cold anymore."

[2:21 PM] Seirixori: "We can't all go together," Seir says quietly, looking at Ryleigh with a worried frown.

[2:22 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh worries her lip for a moment, then kisses Rukiya's forehead and chuckles,"Sorry, raisna'rila."

## First Watch

[2:24 PM] DM: So. The storm passes. First watch is met with a good half a foot worth of snow on the ground.

[2:25 PM] Urrak: Urrak looks over to Bri "Could ye maybe clear some o' this away with yer flame spear deal? Jus' so we can sit on somethin' that isn't snow?" She laughs

[2:27 PM] Ryleigh: Bri quirks an eyebrow and says, "You volunteering the blood?"

[2:28 PM] Urrak: "If ye want it. I'd rather not have a wet ass all night," Urrak laughs, "Honestly, it's fine. I know we aren't exactly buddies. Ye don't owe me anythin'." she looks out into the woods

[2:29 PM] Ryleigh: "What?" Bri looks confused. "No, because my spear - it takes blood to make it turn on the fire."

[2:32 PM] Urrak: "Oh, shit. Sorry, my mind is focused on th' cold. Totally forgot." she rubs the back of her neck. "See anythin'?"

[2:32 PM] DM: Perception checks.

[2:33 PM] Urrak: ((20))

[2:33 PM] DM: Bri: (16)

[2:33 PM] DM: It's a quiet, cold night. Do you restart the campfire?

[2:34 PM] Urrak: ((.........yes))

[2:34 PM] DM: Nothing happens during your watch. Second watch comes and goes as well.
