like it’s almost dusk immediately. Occasionally
you see a leaf tumble past, and then another. It’s
almost beautiful, the color, but it does have
almost a decaying sense to its meeting between
grey and purple. It’s beautiful in light, and then
when it hits the ground it almost looks like it’s
bereft of life. You don’t understand the nature of
this enchantment, whatever this curse may be that
you’ve heard of.
MARISHA: Nila. Is there something wrong with the
soil here or something? Do you know anything about this?
SUMALEE: I don’t like the look of it. Feels bad.
Do I have something that can tell? Do you know?
(laughter)
LIAM: Well, you’re not familiar with this where
you are from?
SUMALEE: No, no.
MARISHA: You could do a general nature check.
MATT: You could do a nature check if you wanted to
try–
SUMALEE: I wanted to use Druidcraft, but I don’t
know.
LIAM: Roll one of your buddies.
SUMALEE: Plus eight.
LIAM: 14.
MARISHA: No, no. Eight total.
SUMALEE: It’s right? This roll plus two.
MATT: Correct, yeah. This is beyond you. In all of
your experience– and you’re very connected with
the land of the valley– this far north you’ve not
encountered something like this. The forest– the
best you can tell, the forest still lives. The
nature of where it draws its life and this color
is very unnatural and it spooks you.
SUMALEE: Is it like a half-dead forest? Like a–
MATT: It feels alive and you pick up the leaf that
you saw tumbled before you and you feel it and it
still brims with health. It also off-puts you. You
get chills and you don’t know why.
SUMALEE: I don’t need to check my smell bag for
this.
MARISHA: All right.
MATT: I think stink pouch is still my favorite
phrase.
SUMALEE: Stink pouch, fine.
MATT: No, smell bag is great.
SAM: Odor sack?
ASHLY: It’s somehow worse than stink pouch as far
as what it evokes.
LIAM: Sniff nuts.
SUMALEE: Are there any animals?
MATT: Make a perception check.
MARISHA: What was the name of the forest?
SUMALEE: Ooh, it hit that, does that count? Can I
roll again?
MATT: It still counts, yeah, unfortunately.
SUMALEE: Eight.
MATT: You don’t see anything specifically. You do
hear birds, so it isn’t bereft of wildlife. At
