It's Vine O'Clock + No, YOU'RE a sidekick - December 6, 2019 and December 20, 2019
- In the hut, we wake up and it is almost pitch dark.
- There is magical darkness?
- There is much arguing about who is going to leave the safety of the hut to discover why there is darkness.
- Neil finally just grabs Acta, ties a rope around her waist, and shoves her towards the dome of the Hut.
- Acta feels her face hit something and bounces backward.
- She falls on her butt with a bloody nose.
- Zaril finally adjusts the light inside the Hut so that everyone can see.
- There is a dome of vines completely covering the Hut.
- Sariel proposes to cast a Wall of Fire in a circle at the edge of the Hut, and then have Zaril dispel the Hut.
SKILLZ CHALLENGE TO ESCAPE THE VINE PRISON (6 before 3)
- Zaril tries to inspire Sariel for her upcoming spell, but Sariel doesn't know the song (Performance - Failure)
- Acta contorts herself into a crazy pretzel to get outside of the wall of the Hut and between some of the vines and then casts Fire Bolt to clear some space (Acrobatics - SUCCESS) She then steps back inside the dome of the Hut
- Sariel steps into the space created by Acta and casts Wall of Fire around the edge of the Hut's wall (Nature - SUCCESS) She then steps back into the Hut as the vines begin to burn. The vines above the dome fall on top of the Hut. The vines outside the Wall of Fire are growing and probing and trying to get past the fire
- Neil throws a flask of oil through the wall of the Hut and the Wall of Fire to add accelerant to the vine conflagration (Athletics - SUCCESS)
- Luca organizes the troops to push the vine topper off the dome (Persuasion - SUCCESS) There is now open sky above the dome!
- Zaril dispells the Hut. She casts Dimension Door and tries to get Neil to come through with her, but he pushes Acta forward instead. They attempt to walk through it, but they bounce back for some reason (Charisma - Failure)
- Acta is starting to get antsy, so she runs through the Wall of Fire to try to tear through the thin spot that Neil's oil made and disappears into the vine only a little singed (Athletics - SUCCESS)
- Sariel casts Contagion into the most vibrant part of the vines (Survival - SUCCESS) and the vines all start to wither. The Wall of Fire dissipates.
- Zaril is pouty about how little she was able to help. Sariel tries to comfort her as they walk out.
- Luca smashes through the vines even though Acta had made a tunnel. It's therapy.
- Neil walks through the tunnel but chops at the brittle vines with his short sword.
- Sariel immediately casts Pass Without Trace
- They set off east-northeast towards the suspected location of Chemondoro.
- A couple of hours later (long after Pass Without Trace has dissipated), they reach a particularly swampy area that is sticky, the ground looks black, and things start coming out of the black sticky ooze to form into gelatinous mounds of goop. (This is in no way an endorsement of Gwenyth Paltrow.)
